Fuck that! Love barca, but no. Just no!
today: jeans and Karen Kane career top
going out in the field tomorrow (industrial facility): steel toe docs, jeans, and a light-color top
I’m dressed like a complete a-hole today, rocking the earth tones. A pinstriped long-sleeve shirt of light algae color. Greenish brown Dockers, beige socks, brown shoes, burgundy belt. I look like the geeky guy next door who runs the neighborhood copy shop but is also molesting your children. I’m not proud of this outfit today, but I don’t care enough about my image to actually bother doing laundry.
Zukuna Sisters T. The image of the Japanese hot Asian chicks sits right at the beltline.
Today I wore a hoodie I made of a Further down The Spiral Nine Inch Nails shirt. I reconstruct a lot of clothing.
The coil of rope on the back [which originally was the front design of the shirt], always gets lots of reactions/questions. Hardly anyone thinks its rope, but many see it instead as a snail, and even a shrimp.
No cocksock for me.
was wearing a bootleg skinny puppy t shirt yesterday, and am wearing an underworld (the band) crew t shirt today. interesting, eh?

HAHAHAHA!!! I always thought it was a coiled up millipede or something.
That’s not nearly as bad as all the reactions I get with my LARD Jacket (I silkscreened the “Power Of Lard” Lamprey on the back). People used to ask me all the time, “Is that a DICK on your jacket?”
I only wear it to gigs nowadays, so there’s much fewer people recoiling in horror.
Further Down The Spiral is a coil of rope.
Closer is a millipede.

THANKS!!!
I don’t own any of them, but yeah, that’s gotta be the one I was thinking of. Now I’ll have to Google both to see what I thought the rope looked like.
OK, I checked the album cover ---- It’s most definitely rope, but if it was a dodgy silkscreen I could see how it might resemble hair, a Cinnabon, a snail, or a myriad of other items.
Neubauten.
So what your saying is the majority of the population is lazy with hand outs from the state unless they were part of the lucky 40 that were able to mooch off their parents… excellent standard!
No, I don’t think the majority of the population is lazy at all. As I said, I do acknowledge that I’m in probably the top 1% priviledged few. And to inherit money, doesn’t necessarily mean you are mooching per se. Alot of people inherit land/money/shares etc when a relative dies, but it may not be enough to live on exclusively for the rest of their lives. In fact, in most cases, it probably helps to pay off the mortage or something.
If I had mooched and done nothing, I would have blown my inheritance twice over by now.
Couldn’t handle working for a living huh?
Well…I do ‘work’. But I work for myself, managing investments etc. and I’m part owner in a club which carries a reasonable amount of responsibility and more ‘work’ than you’d imagine. Yeah, I realise it’s not exactly ''the hard life" and I don’t have to get up early and punch a clock card like the majority of the population. But I don’t exactly sit at home and get drunk and pay girls to blow me everyday as some might think.
And I don’t in all honesty look down on you for being a teacher.
I comment on the bullshit you put out here. I’m no class hater.(although props for taking notes from the fox talking points) I just hate worthless lay abouts that know nothing of hard work and look down on those that do.
Yeah, but a lot of the ''bullshit" I put out there is exaggerated - mainly to get a response from people like yourself. Childish, I know. But there you have it. It’s just that my ''bullshit" seems to really get to you.
You got lucky. That doesn’t make you magically better than everyone and that’s how you certainly present yourself.
A fair point. But then again, you come across like a petty minded bully sometimes…and in all fairness, you’re probably not like that in real life either.
At the very least you’re bragging about going to a whore… maybe if you weren’t such an asshole you wouldn’t have to pay for it or be living by yourself
Well…as I’ve stated the place I described ISN’T a brothel. Don’t go to brothels personally, although I have friends who do and certainly don’t discriminate against them for doing so as it’s none of my business. It’s a health spa for adults only out in the country. There’s NO sex involved. You can however request an “entire body massage session” when you sign up…which is a nice way of saying that the girls will scrub your pecker if you so wish. However the massage itself does not focus on your genital area exclusively and they don’t do it until you orgasm (but they don’t mind if you do). It’s not a flat out hand job and I wouldn’t pay those sorts of ridiculous fees just to get one.
A little bit naughty, but then, so is going to a titty bar and well…who hasn’t done that at some stage.
And I like living by myself. I had a girlfriend move in with me two years ago and quickly discovered that I preferred to live on my own. I date now and then, but nothing serious and have the odd one nighter. But I’m hardly a ladies man or a playboy. My life’s pretty ho hum most of the time.

You have said quite differently in other threads several times.
As I said, I do acknowledge that I’m in probably the top 1% priviledged few.
I think that acknowledgement was interpreted by most as a badge or a trophy of sorts.
And to inherit money, doesn’t necessarily mean you are mooching per se.
Oh, I know, but I was applying your past said remarks about people leaching off the state as the same as inheriting $ cause either way, by the definition that had been put forth in past threads neither party is working for it or had worked for it.
Alot of people inherit land/money/shares etc when a relative dies, but it may not be enough to live on exclusively for the rest of their lives. In fact, in most cases, it probably helps to pay off the mortage or something.
I think we all know somebody in this situation.
If I had mooched and done nothing, I would have blown my inheritance twice over by now.
by the same token you could’ve been broke twice over by the lumber investment flopping. luck of the draw.

No explanation necessary I was just being a dick!
And I don’t in all honesty look down on you for being a teacher.
I know what I’m about to write is going to come off as incredibly dick headed BUT IT’S NOT MEANT THAT WAY:
Thank you for saying this and I understand the sentiment behind it but really means nothing. I do what I do mostly for myself and I don’t care if one person or another agrees with it or not, sorry there is no tactful way to say that. Teachers are pretty much shit upon here and we are fighting an uphill battle so you become very numb to the negativity pretty quick. so, again thanks for the saying this but it never really irked me in the first place.

perhaps because you sold it so well.

Nope not at all like that in real life, I’m pretty raw here on the board. So, I’ve heard.

the whole “with release” statement I got the idea that it was a very expensive one item prostitute.

yeah, got the wrong impression when you first wrote about the scenario.
And I like living by myself. I had a girlfriend move in with me two years ago and quickly discovered that I preferred to live on my own. I date now and then, but nothing serious and have the odd one nighter. But I’m hardly a ladies man or a playboy. My life’s pretty ho hum most of the time.

no hard feeling man, see ya round the board
All hail prongs!
Late,
grmpysmrf
I had to have some pictures taken today for an interview I recently gave. So I figured I’d wear the same outfit to a banquet with my wife tonight . . . .
. . . But she wasn’t too keen about my power tie so I changed it.
appreciate your honesty gunnar. and ditch the tie collection.get some colors (solid-no stripey-ular bs) which accentuate your complexion. Oh, maybe a dark green. Just sayin’… my mother was a tailor. imagine those conversations. “You always wear black!” Peace.

Regarding the colors – are you referring to my suit or the shirt or the tie? Most of my ties are striped. The suit I’m wearing above is very rarely worn and likely won’t make another appearance. I bought it about 13 years ago and about 7 years back I had to have the waist widened a few inches. Fast forward to 2011 . . . I had trouble even closing the pants. After fastening the button and zipper my belt had to be tightened to holes that were never used before. Plus I noticed a couple small spots where moths had decided to take a nibble.
I wouldn’t have even worn a tie to last night’s event except the uber-tight waist band caused my beer gut to stick out like a malnourished Pygmy or something, so the tie helped cover up some not so flattering curves of mine.
Today I’m wearing all brown – tan pants, brown shoes, and a brown classic Alfred E. Neuman (Mad Magazine) “What Me Worry?” shirt. Goes great with my dead aunt’s sunglasses.
Paul has a longtime fashion goal. “The ultimate brown experience”. Been workin’ on that one for a long time. He has. Not me. It’s an exercise.
I was referring to your ties. Solids are better. Don’t think stripes look good on anyone, unless you’re Giligan. AND, ditch that suit-You’d do better for professional functions with something maybe Calvin Klein. Clean. Simple lines. Kind to the male body.
I DO study these things. Male bodies included.

My main suit is a Hugo Boss and my secondary is a Banana Republic. I also have a solid Navy Blue one from JoS Banks. I use it mostly for uppity meetings with government officials and such (anywhere that too much flair is frowned upon).
One of these days I’m going to get a custom-fitted suit though. My president got some tailored in Hong Kong – they look awesome.
I’ll try out your suggestion on the ties and see if I like it. Other than one solid black tie that I have for Japanese funereal purposes, I’ve never bought a solid colored tie.
Hugo Boss is good. Expensive enough to get tailored “in store”. good choice.
I would go (annually) to Marshall Fields in downtown Chicago with my mother and four siblings, and she would always take the bottom of a garment, flip it up, look at the stitching, and run the fabric through her fingers to declare whatever the content was. And always looked at the stitching. she was fond of saying things were sewn by a “hot needle”. too fast. And she would say that in German. To this day, I go shopping with my family, whether it’s thrift stores, looking for designer stuff someone’s let go, or whatever, or department stores, and I do the same thing my momma did. feel the fabric. then investigate.
Carmangary, you can’t possibly hate clothes. Clothes create who you are visually to the rest of the knuckleheads out there. Yeah, I’ve got a stockpile of bandshirts, which I wear to bed or on walks, but that’s not focused. I am not a critic, but I think visually.
sorry to go on about ME again, but it IS approaching Mutha’s Day.My mother RIP was a saint. Saint.
