not so many nooks as you'd think. imo better than my current range, which
is a ge something or other. i've found that the chlorox wipes do wonders
for the baked on enamel crap, btw. steer clear of the lemon ones tho.

hrm, i dunno bout the rest of the world. my guess is the definition is
very personal...i define a yuppie nowadays as anyone who buys granite
countertops for the look instead of marble ones (or any other type) for
the use.

i have an suv (well, bill drives it, i dont drive a stick). but we *use*
it to haul things (dog, groceries, computers, cabinets). i guess the suv
yuppie thing comes from people who dont use them or something. not sure
about the german cars deal as i've never owned one. the viking thing goes
back to not using it but for looks.
