Am I still allowed to be annoyed at the gentrification of my supermarket if my shopping bags say Leslieville Cheese Shop, Riverdale Farmer's Market, Le Boulanger Francais [Ottawa] and London Review of Books?
I do buy a lot of the old-lady stuff -- innards and passata and nasty Portuguese snacks -- but I fear that's not enough for street cred nowadays.

If you're overblessed with gentrification, you could send some out our way. I live in a city where I have been solicited by the media for commentary on the propensity of the local male population to attach large artifical testicles to the trailer hitches of their enormous extended-cab GM pickups. If you google my name plus "truck balls", it might still come up.
You know, it really never would have occurred to me to Google that combination... and I'm still a bit scared to try it.
Wonkette is obsessed with these objects, under the (American?) term Truck Nuts or possibly Truck Nutz, but I kept wondering if she was making it up. Now I can only say I am honoured to know someone whose understanding of ... let us say pre-modern non-Western societies has given us professional insight into such matters. I can already see the seminar: Gender, Social Construction and the Search for Meaning by Complete Fucking Doofuses.
