...pay actors to play like everything is okay. j and I heard this story today on NPR's Marketplace.
Apparently large developments are paying actors to mow the lawns, run into the interested party playing the parts of 'lawyer with children' or whatever. My personal favorite is "They might invite their future neighbors to a Little League game. The teams are borrowed from another town..."
Borrowed from another town! That's great. I don't know how pissed I would be if I found out the truth later.

Story #2: j and I went to a party this past weekend. The theme: 90s.
j's costume involved shoe polish and silk pajamas...
It is...
wait for it....
That's right, Left Eye from TLC (may she rest in peace). And yes, I realize that my Kris Kross shout out would be funnier had I had an Andre Rison jersey. "That D guy looks dangerous"
We also had a tournament bracket of 90's songs, set up as regions of Alternative, Rap/R&B, Dance, and Pop. If you can make it out, predictably "Smells Like Teen Spitit" won. I was trying to vote against it if the matchup was right but it never had a worthy adversary. More disturbing is that BBD's Poison was beat out by friggin Brittany Spears. I think it shows the age of the other people involved. There's no way anything BS ever said can compete with the advice "Never trust a big butt and a smile." What do these kids know anyway?

No worthy adversary? Never should have made it out of round 2-- Jeremy whips its ass.
Don't go chasing waterfalls...
As far as the house stuff, I would be so pissed...so pissed...you expect neighbors to act nicer on your visit that they will be a year from now...you also expect them to be real...
Jeremy? Really?
I was never a Pearl Jam guy (nor was I really a Nirvana guy), but you have to take Smells Like Teen Spirit over Jeremy. I was a Pumpkins man, but short of Silverf%*k, Drown, or maybe Today, I think I'd have to take Spirit on impact value alone.
"Impact value" can suck my balls..... Jeremy is just a better song.
Can't deny that Nirvana had a bigger impact with Spirit by far, though.
Also, I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan. Objectivity is not my strong suit here.
