they will live on, i'm sure, on a rooftop or in a trainyard or under a makeshift lean-to somewhere!! they can not be stopped!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:36 (eighteen years ago) link

God bless punks and their longevity!

The punks may be gone and a puddle of urine is all that remains but they will live forever on the rooftop of my heart.

"I'm Makin' Mends to the Rooftop of My Heart" by Curly Bob McGentry was one of the better country hits of 1946.

Sorry, that should've been on ILM.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 15:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Maybe the workers ARE the punks??

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 15:44 (eighteen years ago) link

They finally sold out!

― giboyeux (skowly), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, punks, where have you gone?
I am moving to Mile End in Sept, close to the railway tracks, so I will do my part and keep an eye out for punkist dwelling activity. But will try to avert my eye from peeing workers.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 15:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i referenced the wrong Billy Idol video up there i now realise. oh the crust of shame.

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 16:16 (eighteen years ago) link

There was a guy in a towel lying on top of the building next to ours and languidly stroking his erection earlier, and I thought of this thread.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 16:31 (eighteen years ago) link

where in ME rrrobyn?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

omg, Mark, wow. It's funny how rooftops can seem so private when you're on them, yet really, unless you're high up, a lot of people will see you. It's one of those non-space space things.

s1ocki: To St. Laurent & Bernard (all the way from Little Burgundy/St. Henri, so it's a bit of a change, but one I'm looking forward to. And I get to live by myself (cheap rent!) - hurrah!) I'm guessing you live around them parts? I have a feeling my social life may get busier after the move, but then again, I have a thesis to finish, so I may just become a shut in! haha, ha...

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

surely there are no punks in ME!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 17:57 (eighteen years ago) link

i live at jeanne-mance & st-viateur (that's not where i am now).

VERY NICE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, dahlin re: ME! This made me reread that as S1ocki being full of neighbourhoods, some with punks, some without, and one of which I will be living in. S1ocki is welcoming and spacious, family-friendly and accessible, with many quaint cafes and inexpensive eateries. haha. Mile End *is* quite nice, and, yeah, prob not too many punks on rooftops...

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 18:26 (eighteen years ago) link

...but you never know!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

oh. i assumed MAINE. silly me. ME.

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 20:40 (eighteen years ago) link

It's all entertainment, the acronym mixup.
Every time I see this thread I say/growl/yell:
PUNKS! ON! ROOFTOPS!!!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

bah i thought you meant LONDON mile end (nb not london, ontario)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 20:55 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, if I was moving to London Mile End, Carsmile, you would know, everyone would know. I'd be all "I'm moving to London!! Fix me up a Welcome to London FAP, Sinister picnic, indie dance nite, drinking-on-the-beach day in Brighton, bowling, karaoke, etc, etc." Yeah. But I'm pretty excited about the intra-Montreal move anyway.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 21:04 (eighteen years ago) link

THEY'RE BACK!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 4 August 2005 20:25 (eighteen years ago) link

two of them--shirtless--horsing around--this is going to turn into a gay porno any second now

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 4 August 2005 20:25 (eighteen years ago) link

This thread rules.

slocki, I'm moving to MTL this fall (big ups to Mssr. Jay Watts III for help). Tell everyone not to panic, but that they should still take necessary precautions ok? Murdaaaa

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Friday, 5 August 2005 02:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i know a nice rooftop if you're looking for a place!!

when are you moving?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow, LeCoq is moving to Mtl! That's cool. I don't know if Mtl is prepared for your wisdom (seriously!). mmmrrr, I have nothing funny/interesting to say as I'm only mildly drunk and tired from dancing and being bluddy grinded against by guys named Mario. Why do people still grind?! It's like the primordial dance move (nb. I use those last three words quite loosely.) It is my own fault for entering the "hip-hop" room (and finding it way more fun than the house/electro room). Oh yeah: PUNKS! ON! ROOFTOPS! NAKED!!!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 5 August 2005 06:41 (eighteen years ago) link

where'd you go dancing rrobyn?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 5 August 2005 15:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i want to see naked punks. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 August 2005 15:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Punks On Rooftops is the natural heir to Snakes On A Plane.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 15 June 2006 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope they're happy on some other rooftop somewhere

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 15 June 2006 19:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope so too.

(haha, where the hell did i go dancing?? i think it was a thursday night at Parking. yes, and i was wearing impractical shoes.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 15 June 2006 19:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I was hoping they were back! I was going to make a "shingles going steady" joke.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 15 June 2006 19:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I lived on a rooftop in Bangkok for three years. It is a good life up on the roof.

After I left my friend moved in, then after him, another friend of ours, now a girl from Singapore we know lives there. You can't hand rooftops on to just anyone, you have to trust them.

This threaad is so beautiful I think it's going to get bookmarked. The highlight:

-- caitlin oh no (caitx...), June 12th, 2005.

some urban farming craft bozos were keeping one or more beehives on the rooftop down the street. today a beehive sits abandoned on the sidewalk outside, bees buzzing about in encouragingly languid and nonthreatening circles. "punks," i thought.

― bucyrus ohio, vus cun nus en l’aria (Doctor Casino), Monday, 23 May 2016 17:14 (eight years ago) link

oh btw the building that was home to the beehive is a loft that's been converted into 'luxury' places. the building the beehive was left in front of is a residential facility providing "long term transitional housing and on-site support services to 40 adults with psychiatric disabilities and a history of homelessness." privilege, ladies and gentlemen.
