You know, nobody besides me mentioned Volcom. Sure, they are pretty crap, but I really like their style and make some awesome tee's.

I have a friend that occasionally wears Volcom tees. Every time he does I ask him if he skated in to work.

Volcom is another one I forgot to mention, along with Van Heusen (dress clothes, ties, etc.).

Are you like a professional comedian or something?

That was kind of a lame comeback, considering it took you four days to come up with …

Ah, had not been online in 4 days, and was not a comeback.

But if you want my comeback, wipe it off of your mothers teeth.

Now that's a comeback! (Disregarding, of course, that my mother's been dead since 1988, making it unlikely that much of any of her teeth still remain)

Actually, in all likelihood, her teeth are probably the best-conserved parts of her. Unless she died of cancer, as mine did, and was subjected to extensive chemotherapy: Those chemicals conserve the corpse forever and have created an increasingly serious problem for most European graveyards (which hitherto tended to turn over plots after twenty to twenty-five years).

It was a great comeback, though.

This is true, of course—but after twenty years, even the teeth should be at least unrecognisable.

I didn’t know this. She did die from (cervical) cancer, so that’s actually quite likely. I do know that, since it’s a family plot, we have it for 100 years, though.
