Heroin and cocaine, I think - could also be maryjane.:-)  To "cop" in this
case means that some of the drugs taken from the seller never made it to the

  No, that's ruled out by the context. It would appear, from what Karen
says, that it's most likely a religious medallion or something hanging
around his neck, with "scapular" having more of a historical sense.

I think we're back at last season's question: why would a Jew be a
Jew-hater? Why would anyone turn against his/her own identity and
line up with the more powerful oppressors? When I state it that
way does the question contain implications of an answer (not
necessarily *the* answer, of course...I don't think there is
*AN* answer...)?

That's interesting. When I was young it was a matter of common knowledge.

Hmm...I don't have a yard, so I don't know about these things, but
I doubt if we have that kind of regulation around here (though some

you can grow what you want on your own property. But this *is* a rural

A friend swears he had a schoolmate named Dick Face.  I knew a woman

parents do not remember adolescents' bent toward and susceptibility to
cruelty.  But then, that assumes the parents themselves are not cruel.

Tainted?  Whatever.  My ancestors all settled up north, greats and great-greats

The only problem David seemed to get from it was a leg 2 inches shorter than
the other, but by the time he had gone through puberty, through daily exercises
and the enormous amount of swimming the two of us had done together over the
years, his limp had entirely disappeared.

I don't think my mother would have noticed anything peculiar about me having
a respiratory infection... so I guess I was one of the lucky ones.
