haha i hope james blount realizes how much i love him

james, simon trife said he saw you the other night outside the apples in stereo show. he said you looked "serious."

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 26 September 2002 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, twas me, I was weighing going in but opted to do some homework and go see Spoon tonight instead. Plus I'm a little antsy hanging out in front of the 40 Watt because J.B. the Sausage Man has me confused with some guy that conned him out of $16 dollars. I find it very disturbing that 'simon' knows what I look like and I have no idea what he looks like. Very disturbing.

"woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of trife and a man of contention to the whole earth!"

― mike (ro)bott, Thursday, 26 September 2002 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

(btw, james, ethan looks like a chimney sweep.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 26 September 2002 23:24 (twenty-three years ago)

He rubs himself with coal = he is a chimney sweep.

He rubs himself with kohl = he is a goth.

If only more people were aware of the thin line between chimney sweep and goth.

Ethan looks like Dick Van Dyke?

Holy Shit! - His sister is Melissa Link's roommate right? He used to be in a punk band called "Youth In Asia" (weren't bad)? Am I right?

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 27 September 2002 01:25 (twenty-three years ago)

i have no idea!

(haha "youth in asia"...the joke is right but the "punk" part makes me think no.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 01:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Athens is such a small town.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 27 September 2002 01:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't suppose anyone would be kind enough to point out what we're all laughing at?

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 27 September 2002 02:42 (twenty-three years ago)

the chimney sweep and dave thomas obviously!

This board is turning into a pomo Mary Poppins musical.

Also, what the heck is a situationist international supposed to be?? (I can see the answer now- go use the search already!)

"The accused have never denied the charge of misappropriating the funds of the Strasbourg Student Union. Indeed, they openly admit to having made the union pay nearly 5000 francs for the printing of 10,000 pamphlets, not to mention the cost of other literature inspired by the 'Situationist International.' These publications express aims and ideas which, to put it mildly, have nothing to do with the purpose of a student union. . . . Rejecting all morality and legal restraint, making sweeping denunciations of their fellow students, their professors, God, religion, the clergy, and the governments and political and social systems of the entire world, these cynics do not hesitate to advocate theft, the destruction of scholarship, the abolition of work, total subversion, and a permanent worldwide proletarian revolution with 'unrestrained pleasure' as its only goal."

Ah right, it must be from one of those serious political threads floating around that my brain is too toast to process. Thank you, Jess.

the beach under the paving stones is the Bez

― chris (chris), Friday, 27 September 2002 08:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Duh - Alex Trocchi is the Bez; TJ Clarke is the Xander.

Buffy ---- Xander ----- Giles

I see that Ralph Rumney died in March; I managed to miss that. For me, Rumney was probably the Bez.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 27 September 2002 09:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Jerry is OTM abt Trocchi - who is also the 'Beat' Bez!

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 27 September 2002 09:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Old-fashioned clothing in black...you're onto something.
