    Alabama football recruiters use this tactic all of the time.

    my guess is fertilizer, and my second guess is the cops are kind of dumb.



    back in my day we'd use a 1983 jeep cherokee to "burn" donuts into the football field. maybe if those cheerleaders wanted a nice clean football field they should have slept with me. still bitter after all these years.

    @shostakobitch: Cheerleaders taste like saddle shoe soap and Tab. You would have been better off eating one of the science nerd girls (bunsen burner burnoff and Chex cereal) or the punk rock chicks (Dippity Do and Yoo Hoo).

    How pedestrian. Step it up, E. Hampton Gang. The image of a black Amex burned into the ground would have had much more of an impact.

    That was a particularly lovely opening sentence about the redoubt of the vile and petty rich. Scott Fitzgerald would've been proud.

    I once went to a thrift shop in Palm Beach, and they wouldn't let us in the door. We didn't look rich enough. But I didn't let that sour me to the extent that I didn't think they were worthy of having Bernie Madoff's investment skills working for them.

    @SultanaEleusis: You must mean The Church Mouse, the only thrift shop in Palm Beach proper. (They let me in the last time I was in PB to walk on the free public beach. I spent a total of 2 buck in town on an ice tea.)

    From now on, I request that all newspaper feature stories include an amateur behavioral economist popping out of an enclosed space and offering several paragraphs of analysis on the question at hand.

    @skahammer: It's not that hard to understand the psychology of truly, really, madly, deeply rich people. I studied these exotic animals for a project I was working on once and their idea is to lay low, say they're poor and quit buying any really obvious stuff for a while for protective camouflage. They know all about not unduly stirring up the rage of the peasants, having lost several generations of fortunes to revolts and guillotines and so forth already.

    @WindowSeat:
    I'm sure you read the full article so you know that these $2,000 cashmere slacks will never, ever wrinkle (even after strangling a commenter).
    So, no discount for you. Sorry.
