Anyhow, I pull up and hop out and they ask what my Cobra is. I explain. Then the leader of the skittles says, "You know what an Escalade is." I replied affirmatively. And then he says, "Yeah! That's what I like. Tricked out with 22's with gold spinners and a bad-ass thumper stereo. That's what I like!"

I stared blankly at him for a moment while the rest of the crew responded affirmatively, that yes, they, too, would like an Escalade.

Once the bewilderment of this strange offshoot of Homo Saphiens passed, I replied, "Uh, yeah, cool. I'm, uh, going to get a sandwich. Have fun, guys..."

Clearly a product of lacking parental supervision as evidenced by the lack of knowledge as to how to properly where a baseball cap and finding jeans that fit. Absent more effective parental direction likely the only Escalades they'll be putting their hands on are the ones they dry off at the car wash.
