Not sure) divides the girls into classes based on where they live [07:21] but the UofR bumped out Kodak as the #1 employer locally a couple years ago [07:22] So the girls don't end up with friends in a village on the other side of town etc [07:22] 4OWN is cut [07:22] 6If you have to ask, you're not in one of the POPULAR groups.

[07:28] Dhraak - that's... actually very true [07:28] 6When the ALTERNATIVES are leaves, bark and dead squirrels, it's amazing what one can subsist on. [07:28] (fwiw I prefer money to dandruff :P) [07:28] what a surprise (considering the complete lack of funniness from all other lines...) [07:28] And not a parallel I had ever thought of before [07:28] since the Old Magic and New Magic clique stuff is very prominant in the books [07:28] brb [07:28] cut [07:28] Cut [07:28] wizz: i liked background fluff [07:28] s/ALTERNATIVES/DWARF BREAD/ [07:28] cut [07:28] cut [07:28] cut [07:29] 4ALTERNATIVES is cut [07:29] 6It doesn't, it only ruins your APPETITE.
