Sadly, they're pretty thoroughly flammable. The small games that slipped 
into the store (such as BLUE PLANET and HKAT) were because of a very 
swell fellow at the store who was in charge of ordering for a while. He 
even managed to get a rack of Pagan's products set up and rolling. But 
ordering responsibility was shifted up the ladder, and a new policy came 
down that games with mediocore production values and little popularity 
were verboten. The fine fellow left for greener pastures. I'm pleased 
that some good stuff got in under the wire--thanks to his precedent, you 
can buy Pagan and Atlas products in *shopping malls* here--but I have 
little hope that their selection will ever be as expansive as it was a 
year ago.

What is the opposite of slumming? What do you call it when you're poor
and you hang out in places full of rich people? The opposite of
"slumming" is "vagrancy." It's a misdemeanor. They arrest you for it.
