So, they hire "valets" that overrev a cold engine and park the care somewhere over yonder. When you want to leave you get to wait possibly a very long time to get your car back and also get tip the fine person for returning your car in under twenty minutes; hence the name varmint parkers. What makes it worse is now many shopping emporiums now use this with all the good space near the entrance dedicated to the varmints so you either walk and extra 300 yards or pay the dude $5. All in all good for my budget and good for my waistline as I tend to avoid places that do this and refuse to use the varmints in I have to go to such a place and get the modest excercise of walking. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 12/19/06, G Hopkinson <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> wrote: > > Don, cultural reference explanation required!
