20. I didn't even know about this

Sat Jul 21, 2012, 12:06 PM

Jul 2012

I knew neither about star members nor how many were ignoring me (I've never ignored anyone, so I never cared).

So, I looked at my profile.

Wow, I have a star member ignoring me! OK, that and $4.75 gets you some kind of $1.50 coffee
plus $3.25 worth of Italian gibberish at Starbucks.

Should I be flattered to know someone actually thought I was worth the effort?

Let me guess:

Someone hates southerners (I am)?
Someone hates Germans (my wife is from Germany)?
Someone hates Jews (most of my ancestors were)?
Someone hates Arabs (Helen Thomas is one)?
Someone hates Gentiles (Howard Dean is one)?
Someone hates guitar players (I am)?
Someone hates people who drive Cadillacs (if so, gotcha! You'd have to be insane to drive a monster like that in Germany)?

Sorry, I'm not the one with a problem there
