BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who often opts not to make a purchase, even though it could be problematic down the road. Family and friends never, never, never try to convince you of an alternative point of view, political or otherwise. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a flea market trying to buy either storage boxes for your summer clothes or 500 feet of coaxial cable. Be on the lookout for fairy dust that tastes like salt. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter G, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 598719. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).


Is this You?

As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.


This isn't me! What am I?

A little more experienced, no doubt, but forging ahead in spite of it all. Our economy also steps into an occasional pothole in route to an expanding economic pie. Recession is the nifty term we use for this sort of economic pothole and it will be are our topic for the next few pages. OH NO! LOOK OUT!
