LILEKS: "I wondered if the clerk was judging me: you got 75 clams in B&N script, and you buy a movie, an old comic book compendium, the Weekly Standard and pictures of the Crab Nebula? Mainstream lamer.

But I always think the clerks are judging me. Probably because they are; I spent many years in retail, friends. Don’t think they don’t have opinions about each and every one of you. It’s the only thing that keeps them sane."
