THE DEPENDABLE $3 NYC UMBRELLA

i just liek to hear them say" Umbrella ,umbrella, umbrella" over and over again

my awesome umbrella got destroyed by the wind on wednesday morning.
RIP little guy

i bought a $1 umbrella at a park slope bodega and it lasted probably 2 years and 20-some uses. good value. the $10 sidewalk ones they drag out whenever it starts raining are shit.

i'm still bummed about leaving my double-layered london fog brolly in the back of a taxi last month. boo.

I'm sure said bodega has been displaced by a pet boutique

one of my favorite things abt new york is how as soon as it starts raining people appear selling umbrellas - NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL MATERIALISM PERFECTED!

btw morbs ive bought prob 5 $3 umbrellas in the past year - i mean they try to tell you theyre $5 but you can def get buy for $3

it's only a matter of time before i lose an eye to a $3 nyc umbrella ;_;

especially if you walk into mine, with the bare spokes sticking out.

dude gave me a free one once

i just pick up new ones from bars all the time...course that doesnt work so well if its midday. chinatown in the rain is a deathtrap for yr eyes

Whatever, Psmith.

i just bought one for $3 at my deli

bb, what do u mean about chinatown

on average the population of chinatown is just a touch shorter than the majority of the population...given the tight nature of the sidewalks and the number of idiot tourists who can't walk decently even in the sunshine, it can get dangerous with the pokey ends of umbrellas

i noticed this the 1st time i was in chinatown...it rained and it was dangerous

the problem with purse-sized umbrellas is that they do not have a big enough radius to provide adequate windy rain protection. also they cost like $15 and the wind still fucks em up. perhaps i invest in one of those giant bubble ones.

a the small bubble ones are ok and favored by the gays

Gays and goils.

Last winter I had the best giant radius, wind proof, sexy rubber handle $30 umbrella. I went to a fancy restaurant and was forced to leave it in the front. When I came back to get it, it was gone. I told the host and he gave me another one someone had left behind before. It was bright purple and pink and so ugly i'd rather get wet than carry it.

guys it's only water

near-freezing water

it takes some pretty heavy rain to make me use an umbrella

I will carry a bubble umbrella at the slightest provocation but otherwise, meh.

I have having to dodge umbrellas. GET A FUCKING RAINCOAT pUSSIES

people with golf umbrellas in the city are really obnoxious

jaxon the proper response wouldve been: i dont want this pink umbrella i want to be compensated for my $50 dollar umbrella

tru!

ppl using umbrellas in nyc durring light snow flurries need to stay in the subburbs.

i'd use an umbrella in rain like today's, but generally i try to avoid it..most people can't be trusted to walk about responsibly with the things...including me

I'm beginning to shove umbrellas

i wonder what that dude is up to

In 2002 Dave released his first solo album entitled Faces & Names on Ultimatum Music. He also contributed guest vocals on the song "Chillout Tent" in The Hold Steady's 2006 release, Boys and Girls in America.
Pirner now resides in the post-Katrina Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans where he is part of a music collective doing recording and production work.
Radio host Eddie Trunk said in an episode of Vh1 Classic turntables that Dave was a songwriter he marveled.

a raincoat does not keep blowing rain outta yr face, grumpus.

neither does an umbrella

i hate being wet

they just released an album...

in 2006...way to keep the webpage up to date, dudes

i have always really hated those dudes..can't quite figure out why they get so under my skin..

it does if you open it and raise it over yr head, jon

what if the rain is blowing sideways

lol bill

the skies gone out!

stay indoors, cower

umbrellas are like automotives, people. the chance of you getting hit with one are far more dependent on the operator than the size. I know how to handle a large umbrella in the city (helps to be 6' + lanky), while I see people with their tiny fold-outs fucking other people's shit up all the time

especially on the way in and out of the subway/metro. jesus christ.

umbrellas are like dicks, people. the chance of you getting hit with one are far more dependent on the operator than the size. I know how to handle a large dicks in the city (helps to be 6' + lanky), while I see people with their tiny fold-outs fucking other people's shit up all the time

Ugh, and what is up with people not lifting umbrellas to clear other umbrellas. DBAGS

ppl on nyc streets being rude?

woah!

It's not rudeness -- I think there are actually people to whom it hasn't even occurred that same-level umbrellas cannot peacefully coexist

Isn't it a law of something? That two objects cannot occupy the same point in space at the same point in time? SURPRISE!

I think it's actually more that there are people to whom it hasn't occurred that other people besides them exist

Did someone just say something?

Sorry, we're in the ILX dead zone of day, and I'm bored.

even my coworkers are bored today. sometimes a quiet friday is not all it's cracked up to be

i just argued with people in my office about improv anywhere for 10 minutes

see i view ppl not recognizing that they are not alone in this world as rude...

is improv anywhere more cool or less cool than spending friday afternoon arguing about umbrellas and improv anywhere

see i view ppl not recognizing that they are not alone in this world as rude...

amazing

I'm getting paid.

still not sure if that makes it worse or better. if somebody paid the IA folks, that would make them totally awful. us getting paid to do this because nothing else is happening is kind of sad in its own way. we should just be allowed to go home.

oh come on, if you can't maneuver around people standing still, you're pretty low on the Darwin pole.

oh wait, i thought I was on the Imrov thread.

close enough

oh no! i have to leave the house....whateverwill i do about this rain?

lick it
