Oaktown Raiders, nigga fuck the Jets!"
- Potna Deuce tape I'm playing
-Recent headline from WV newspaper I saw: "Vengeful Man Steals Banjo From Church"
-Phrase of recent coinage by me when infuriated by student actions: "No More Monsieur Bonhomme"
just to say, I really fuck with this.
Cross-thread entry #1: hogginthefogg's putdown of Pretty Toney Bourdain a few years back--something along the lines of "He is approximately forty percent as cool as he thinks he is"--has provided me with a construction that has been immeasurably useful in my disapproval-based lifestyle. "_____ is approximately _____ percent as cool as he/she/it thinks it is"--I say that shit all the time.
Cross-thread entry #2: I recently overheard a mother taking on her cell phone about, I am guessing, her son's trouble with using the bathroom at school. She told whoever she was talking to that young Marlon was having "dookie issues." It's hilarious to me that she would try to be all euphemistic and discreet by using the word "issues," but wouldn't bother trying to find some way to soft-pedal "dookie."
In a post-something side note: It occurs to me that the phrase "of recent" is itself a little bugged.
didn't say it was funny, but I dug the turn of phrase
absolutely
a friend recently referred to a rebounding drunk girl as a "struggle bunny"
He said - "If You See Something, Say Something."
Similar applications: "Put your name on it."
Bone it to own it.
"She's the hottest girl I could never be attracted to."
"The kind of bar people go to to break up."
This last one I want to try to add to my vernacular, used here regarding a drug arrest:
"He got himself in a jackpot."
Flippin a anti-terrorism campaign slogan is what made shit funny...

I have that DVD.
???In the pre-PC days, the creative department at Este??e Lauder had lots of press-type options. I played with a few layouts before settling on the cap D and J, offset as you see them now, with lowercase letters filling out the name.??? He was drawn to Helvetica because ???it???s not decorative in any way, and because of that, has a naked graphic and informational quality. It???s easy to take seriously.??? Although his major was film, he says, ???I took a design class at Harvard in the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. I enjoyed it, but I???m not sure it was training for what was to come.???
The answer is in this pretty cool record-related article...
This is the best thing I read this year.
I gotta sample that.
