Dear StanM,

I am really mad at you for posting that link. Of course I had to look and am now traumatized. :-(

Sincerely,

Erica N.B.B.

Dear StanM

What Erica said.

I am not going to look at the link. I am already sufficiently immersed in trauma. The trauma that is DISNEY/MICKEY MOUSE CLOTHING WORN IRONICALLY.

Dara Danglemore caught my attention when she was wearing shorts one day and her extra-long trouser snake came out to greet me. I was in love with her dick at first sight. It's hard to believe a girl with such a sweet, innocent face would have such a lengthy, dangling serpent.

suzy how do you feel about iron tweety bird/taz clothing?

17. cosmological paradigms involving dark energy

tombot would back me up on this one ;_;

Sorry :-(

21. kombucha - the fact that people grow it in their homes and give it to each other reminds me too much of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and it creeps me out.

It's ok Stan. I'm sure I'll get over it with time. And therapy. ;-)

ian, even when I was a child I thought anything other than the bog-standard grey marl Mickey t-shirt was childish in the extreme. Also I love Warner Bros cartoons - when I didn't want to say what brand of something I had on, the answer was always ACME - but on my television and that is it.

Also hating: those plaid shirts (turquoise/black, AmAp I think?) that look exactly like '80s Limited Express rags for under your FORENZA sweater. Gross then, gross now - or worn by incredibly boring people most of the time.

xp to caek: i was agreeing with you! that dark matter is creepy and weird and unlikable!

"the drawings of a many-centerd solar-system, when we meet them in books, they make us avert our eyes."

heresy is heresy.

I'm trying to remember what they look like. Couldn't find one at AmAp site, but I did discover a "mustache mask" in the new styles section.

13. slumdog millionaire
16. opposition to gay marriage

Not hip.

22. Emoticons

Things I dislike, I tend to dislike for one or more specific reasons.

If not Am Ap, try Suburban Outfitters.

i understand this. but i have a mickey shirt from when i was like 8. it reminds me of my dad. so i grant myself an exception there.

i believe i ran into an ilx poster on the street today wearing one of those

xpost

um i like copied the wrong quote above

i meant to copy the one about not liking ironic mickey mouse shirts

23. having plans all the time

I GET IT YOU'RE BUSY

lol otm

I really don't like the Disney Store aesthetic, but old-school Mickey shirts fine by me.

surmounter's mis-paste is the LOL of the week.

Pearl snap shirts

This is probably just a Texas thing but I can't throw a MGMT 12" without hitting a dude with lol facial hair and a pearl snap shirt. I go to the vintage store or the Goodwill or the Salvation Army or w/e and there are 4 dudes in pearl snap shirts looking at the racks of pearl snap shirts and licking their lips.

Yeah, facial hair in general is getting pretty tiresome.

hence 'fake facial hair'

oh, and the swishy dyed-black hair-in-front of eyes whatnot that the jonas brothers have made popular.

fucking asymmetrical bologna

1) Master and Margarita

does it count as "hip" if it's been hip for at least 20 years (afaik)?

not liking stuff you deem hip but for no specific reason prob means you're in some weird desperate bleakitude

optimism

maybe it's not actually hip but everyone is claiming it is, just like everyone was claiming irony was dead after 9/11

idk, i'm tired melancholy and it's monday already

20? "Sympathy for the Devil"?

Besides, it's not hip, it's just a good book to have in your brain. Maybe some hip people are reading it suddenly. I don't know.

They are. And what's worse is that they're passing tattered copies of it around and air-mailing it to each other.

god forbid people read books. for serious.

Especially really entertaining ones that are also kinda deep and stuff.

yeah speaking of:

27. walker percy

master and margarita is hip now? huh, i had no idea. what prompted this?

It's a long story, but it's all because of white belts.

oh, and the swishy dyed-black hair-in-front of eyes whatnot that the jonas brothers have made popular.

As opposed to the swishy dyed-black hair-in-front of eyes whatnot that was popular back in the 80s? I was a total failure at this hairstyle in the 80s, my eyes would just get itchy from having my hair in front of them, and I gave up soon after.
