The Ongoing Saga of the Corndog Cabbie.
@8 - I spent baaaank at the City Market, and my husband worked at the laundromat next door for a stretch (including sweeping the sidewalk and parking lot, @7). No one likes a slob throwing trash all over the place. This isn't a class issue.

Today in Faint Praise That's Also Ridiculously Offensive.
I think it's funny, but I can see why it'd bug people. Image the marquee: "More fun than beating Matthew Shepard" or "More fun than The Trail of Tears". It's kind of a touchy subject, right?
@10 You're right, but the people it offended weren't seeing the movie. They were walking down the sidewalk.

Changing Your Name When You Get Married.
I didn't change my name because it's my name. It seems weird to me to have someone else's. My daughter has my husband's last name because it seemed less akward at the time.
We considered all changing our last name to "Awesome" but the idea never took off.

The Killers.
This reminds me of something I saw on TV recently. It was a tribute to Cronkite and the program highlighted observations he'd made over the years. Cronkite caught a lot of flack, apparently, for noting that the economy was picking up in Russia. He could tell because people were keeping dogs as pets again. Are you saying that horses are the USA's Russian dogs?
