Am I the only person who ever watched this show? It was on the cartoon network or comedy central recently and I still kind of loved it. The characters are Hill people (rich, beautiful, vapid) and Valley people (going about their day surrounded by toxic waste).The town I just moved to has a "hill section" and a "valley section". One of them is considered to be better than the other. Guess which one I live in.
I found this out when I went to a new residents meeting a few months ago.
I ended up sitting next to a woman who was only three years older than I am, but had already jumped the shark into "old lady clothes" territory. She was wearing coral lipstick, and a shirt with little bedazzled teapots and cups on it. I was wearing no makeup and a shirt that quite possibly was originally part of a long underwear set. I probably looked a little homeless, which is maybe not the best first impression to make.
She smiled at me.
I smiled back.
"Do you live on the hill, or in the valley?" She said.
"Oh shit", I thought.
I got the hint immediately- there is a good side of town and a bad side. "Please let me live on the right side of the tracks." I prayed silently.
"On the hill?" I croaked out.
"OH." She pulled away from me a little bit, wincing.
It was like I said I live in a giant poop, or in a van down by the river.
"Well, I'm sure it's very nice there too." She smiled condescendingly. I felt like she almost reached out to pat my knee out of pity, but didn't want to risk touching a hill person.

Tell her you grew up in Norseville as opposed to Sunset Hill. That oughta do it.
Love
M.O.M.
If coral lipstick, bedazzled shirts and heinous attitudes are acceptable in the valley, do you REALLY want to live there? My vote is for the Hill People. I happen to know a few and they are awesome.
VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
omg. I don't know if this is possible but I think I love you even more for working that reference in.
Yup. Possible.
