This begs the question . . . how much?

This is actually the only Squeeze album the average listener will ever require. No need to be sad.

Yeah but it don't got "Cat On A Wall" from their Deptford Fun City single. Best song they ever did.

Please, don't even begin to get me started on my former life as a music thief.

i got caught shoplifting when i was in 7th grade, and boy, i will never do it again after the ass beating my mom gave me.

= first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. I think I actually said "pssh... amature" outloud. You've made one hell of a turnaround. Plus you've now got a slap named after you.

That's a no-brainer, a R/T flight to Scotland. I make for great company.

Maybe I'm just tired, but this next to your avatar made me laugh.

Thanks, sweetheart. I hope you're not tired tonight, because we have a lot of catching up to do.

I tried telling you from the beginning that that North Platte dude, or whateverthehellhisnameis, is bad news.

Yeah, well, you know me...it takes me awhile before I find my way around. It was Finchy's strong calves that swayed me being that he's always on a bike on some dirt road in a forest somewhere. Little did I know that midwestern boys are who I should be with. Thank you for being patient.

As for catching up, how many bottles of wine will that take?

"...dirt road..."???

Ouch. That hurts. More than your infidelity.

Singletrack, baby. Don't ever forget that.

I will always love you.

This thread has me wishing for a coma.

I've gotta weigh in on this one. If I were the prosecutor, I would look at whatever misdemeanor statute is on the books. In Missouri it reads:

A person commits the crime of stealing if he or she appropriates property or services of another with the purpose to deprive him or her thereof, either without his or her consent or by means of deceit or coercion.

The promo CD, even though it's free with the purchase of the other disc, is the property of the record store. They give you permission to take it out of the store when you buy the CD it's originally attached to. When you attach it to another CD, you don't have their permission to leave with it. It's stealing.

Unless.... you could successfully argue that they have given you their implied consent when they checked you out with the CD. But you say they never notice.

BTW I'm a prosecutor.

MAN that post makes me seem like a dick.

I think what you just said sounds right Grape Ripple.

Nevermind the moral (!) argument that if you define your own actions as "stealing" then it's probably not the right thing to do.

So what cds have you scored so far?

Whose?

The first time that avatar doesn't make me chuckle I'll change it. But it hasn't failed yet.
