Don't be silly! Good taste shows up at Neiman-Marcus about as often as
at your friendly neighborhood Doggie Diner! His 'n hers Learjets; two-ton
chandeliers; diamond rings big enough to choke an elephant -- this is
good taste? Nonsense! The whole store is a joke -- an abomination put
together by two Texans with no taste, for other Texans (and people who
wish they were Texans) with no taste (or is that redundant?).

No, I'm not going to put in a stupid little apology for insulting any Texans
out there who happen to have some feel for the finer things in life -- this
*is* net.flame, after all. But I've got a feeling that those people don't
shop at N-M, either.
