There is a part of me that would love to dress up like a shit failed mod for the hilarity factor. Comb over the bald spot, try not to look like a crimewatch photo-fit and wear a completely ill fitting suit for the first time in my life, viola! instant ace face tragedy! Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

today at the salvation army i offered a hipsterish young person the vintage pendleton field shirt that was too small for me and he didn't know what pendleton was. i didn't how to proceed from there because i had assumed he'd be primed for apeshit but it was a good and quality american garment of fine workmanship and i felt that there was an outside chance that it would find a way into his rotation because of intrinsic qualities and not hey look i'm in fleet foxes now.― slugbuggy, Friday, February 20, 2015 11:13 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

The bitching here is directed at whoever allows this to happen, mostly, but there's a woman in my office who seems to have some quite bad mental problems, and has just been jettisoned entirely by any boss or team. We move from desk to desk (as does everyone) and she keeps annexing desks in different parts of the office, but she sits and talks to herself in a strained argumentative tone all day - and not like "oh I must email Steven" or whatever, it's like this bizarre rambling. She's sitting behind me now and I just heard "but he was holding a child!" - a lot of it is kind of mumbling. She looks at Google Maps with a map of Daventry, all day.
My boss has emailed to try and see what's happening or why she has no team whatsoever - makes me wonder how many people are working in civil service buildings just drifting along having been cut loose from any responsibility or structure, or contact.

There was a point about 10 years ago when the boss at a company I worked at flipped out when an apprentice kulak drove into the yard with a rolled up copy of Nuts on the dash of his Berlingo. He got quite a hard fucking and was given a written disciplinary warning about having visible "porn mags" on company property. Even though I immensely disliked the boss I thought he was 100% otm in this case.
I personally think James Brown is one of the vilest & most worthless pieces of shit of his generation and would genuinely wish death upon him. He is that much worthless that he almost makes Paul Morley seem a likeable person. If there is a hell I hope he ends up in some dismal loop; trapped in a white transit van with dumb young guys smoking biftas at 6am, talking about spitting on Lucy Pinder's arse with Moyles blasting out at full whack - aeterno!

I was waiting in line for the bathroom at the opera during intermission. The line was long, but it moves fast and the Lyric has been giving old ladies time to pee during intermission for like a century so there was nothing to be concerned about. UNLESS you were the old lady behind me who kept querulously piping, "We're not going to make it! We're not going to make it!" like we were sneaking over the German border into Switzerland and could hear dogs barking at our heels.― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Thursday, April 16, 2015

if you ever hang out on the Steve Hoffman forums, you'll notice that every once in a while a regular poster will suddenly vanish from the discourse. he'll be in the middle of a heated Pono debate and he'll excuse himself for a seemingly minor interruption ("BRB, I think I hear the FedEx guy at my door"), and then just...silence, crickets, radio static. as the weeks pass and he fails to respond to your PMs and emails, you begin to get seriously worried: did this guy die or go to jail? so you start a thread about him on the Off-Topic board (Hey, does anyone know what happened to ThePruneDuke67?) and literally 30 seconds later your thread has been deleted and Steve himself has sent you a PM: 'Hush, child, he is beyond our reach: he has acquired the entire MoFi catalogue and now he is on a higher plane'. so you keep your mouth shut and act like nothing happened because how can you second guess Steve Hoffman? but eventually all of your friends have been spirited away to audiophile heaven and you realize that you are literally the only person contributing to the Toto Album By Album thread (by now you've exhausted the proper Toto albums and moved on to Steve Lukather's solo career) that's when you decide you need a new hobby.
