Why should I go out to see a movie or a concert---it is a lot more comfortable to stay at home. I have cable TV, which gives me a choice of 30 different programs. Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR.

|5 R& D# E0 w iHey, there’s always something to do there for us mall rats. At least a dozen fast food places where we can buy a burger, a slice of pizza, ice cream---whatever. Ten different movie theaters, and a whole lot of people to watch, you know? I can, like, spend the whole day there, you know?1 I' |2 [: t/ L

Sure, I used to be a typical mall rat hanging around watching the crowds, especially the girls. But then I went out for basketball, made the team and I don’t have time to waste anymore!
