When . . . every May, June and July you find yourself calling the automated voice at Citi Cards to find out the last day of the current billing cycle . . . so that you can time your next ridiculous purchase to fall right after closing, and lessen the carnage slightly when you open the imminent bill.

When you purposely wear a huge BURNING MAN 2009 shirt while walking through Belgium, France and Italy hoping that someone---ANYONE!---will notice so you can talk about TTITD, preferably in English.

Hasn't happened yet, but I'm an optimist.

well, perhaps if you weren't wearing that prom dress and black leather spike heals while strolling the streets, folks would be more encouraged to ask about your shirt, or push up bra, whichever you're wearing at the time.
