“You can’t hide from old ladies in a PC Richard, purse snatchers of the world.”
Ooooh, comma splicing and a missing comma, all in one sentence! Impressive. (I’m assuming that the would-be robber/snatcher was named “Richard”, and the article somehow makes the PC reference relevant — it keeps timing out for me — or I’d have to add “surreal”.
@rlee: you are crazy. “PC Richard” is the name of a computer store–it’s actually “PC Richard & Sons,” I believe, but it’s commonly/informally shortened to lose the son reference. In the story, the woman followed the man from the parking lot to the PC Richard store, where officers arrived and extracted him.
I hope that helps you parse the sentence correctly.
@Chris: Ah, ok. My apologies.
