I know most of the words to that song. A guy I know is a developer and built
the three local Advance Auto Parts locations and one in Jacksonville, IL and
sold them and the lease(es) to investors. The North 9th St store and the
J'ville were sold to the same investor who tried to jack the rent through the
roof when the lease came up for renewal. So, Advance displayed the rigid middle
digit and spread the inventory and personnel to their other locations and left
Mr. Greedy Gut holding an empty sack.

It's not dead until I (and Sean - who "owns" the scho) say it's dead. If I quit
cross-posting my 10 per day into Cooking then HC would have almost as much
traffic as the increasingly moribund NCE.

This is the second time you have uttered the proclamation that Home_Cooking is
dead. Have you got some bee in your shorts about it, or what?

 JW> ... If we closed all the Wal-mart stores would China go bankrupt?

No, but they'd be on hurting status. If you closed all the Apple lines out at
the same time, though (as I told Married Ruth), they might just go tits up.
