  1. Fuck that, I'm still pissed that they cut part of my cock off 8 days after I was born.
  2. The catholic sex abuse one was absolutely perfect when it came out, but Jimmy and Timmy in the crips is a timeless classic. The one on mormons was pretty awesome.
  3. My ex used to bust out laughing right after he came, which freaked me out a bit.

    aNYthing

    From the Village Voice: Fashion Forward aNYthing to Be Hip Kid America Alum Opens Shop on Hester by Nina Lalli March 20th, 2006 1:08 PM Shopping for a stylish man in his twenties is nearly impossible unless he's gay or needs a new wallet. In fact, shopping for anything in New York tends to stir up monetary panic, but men's clothing seems particularly impossible. With the ancient Gertel's Bakery on the left and a Chinese grocery store on the right, aNYthing represents a more recent development on Hester Street: the $170 T-shirt. The store, called "A New York Thing", comes from Aaron Bondaroff, known as "A-ron the Don," and even better known as "one of the Kid America guys." Kid America was a humorous cable access show that combined street culture with the innocent irreverence of Sesame Street. A-ron hosted a talk show segment for the show. Also on his resume: working with notoriously hip retailers Supreme and Stussy. The $170 T-shirts do have skulls on them, but that just doesn't seem like enough to justify the price. At aNYhing, it doesn't even feel like they want you to buy anything. You can, if you want. No one looks at you in the tiny store unless you're one of A-ron's many friends and associates. It seems more like headquarters for the man who is a brand than a retail endeavor. Women's stores zero in on a girl's desire to look good. She wants to be stylish, but the trend of the moment is also what she has been brainwashed into thinking is flattering. The better the clothes fit, the more flattering they are, and that's something you pay for, or what you try to fake. But for men's casual clothes, the cuts only vary so much. What's for sale, at least for young guys who care about these things, is coolness. These men don't want to hear that they'll look beautiful if they buy a certain hoodie or pair of sneakers, but wearable status symbols get them every time. This has always been true, but the sought-after items have spiraled out of control, from Jordans and Kangols to Bape sweatshirts and limited edition Dunks. It used to be just a question of getting it first, since the coveted items were widely available. Now, it's a challenge to even hear about something before it's over. Then it is priced beyond imagination. If you've heard of it, don't buy it. If there are more than 100 of them circulating, it's over. If it is carried in more than one store, forget it. If it wasn't designed by a 19 year-old Japanese guy, it's out. And if it's inexpensive, how could it be exclusive? It's hard being a man.
  6. Just looking at their spring/summer look book, I don't see anything worth more than H&M level prices. Flannel, madras, photography, and haircuts aren't exactly breaking new ground in fashion. The fall/winter isn't much better. Dramatic lighting, a model who looks like he's 12 years old, and a streetwear meets school uniform look aren't that special. The overall impression is that these people are really good thrift store shoppers selling style to people with far more money than sense.

    custom stuff

    Neighborhoodies is the company that will put your street name on a sweatshirt. Any asshole can learn to screen print in an afternoon, which is your best bet for cheap, easy, and durable shirt/hoodie/whatever graphics. Shoes aren't really my field, but it shouldn't be hard to get some sneakers messed with. There's no way you're getting 1 custom metal belt buckle made for "cheap." Learn how to work with metal and make it happen yourself.
  8. H&M now has selvedge, for those who want to get their cheap fashion on. Also, the Evisu sample sale is this week. West 36th street with Ben Sherman.

  18. How very chav. I would have titanium teeth and bite through your mother.
  19. Honestly, who gives a shit?
  20. Still, you think they could have found a pope that wasn't in the fucking hitler youth. I don't care if it was mandatory, membership in the hitler youth should probably disqualify you from the papacy. Chalk it up to bad luck for elderly German cardinals.
  21. I'm a libertarian socialist. So what else is new?
  22. I thought I was the only one who thought those 2 looked alike. Stolen from salon (feel free to skip to the bold section): I see that Salon's three-week pope-a-palooza has reached a new crescendo with the election of the Benedict XVI. I suppose we can all look forward to another round of hand-wringing as lapsed Catholics, devout believers and everyone on Salon's payroll weighs in on this momentous event. Since the only faction not represented in Salon's coverage is the skeptic secular humanists -- who, I am willing to bet, make up a fair percentage of your readership -- let me be presumptuous for just a moment and throw in our two bits. Nothing is going to change. The church will continue to do what it has always done for the past two thousand years; sow fear, self-loathing and empty promises to its adherents. The Catholic Church, like most other religious organizations, is -- and always has been -- an institution built on the fundamental idea that the rabble need to be kept in line so that the elites can exploit and plunder them with as little resistance as possible. Give a peasant a work ethic, a fear of a jealous and wrathful almighty, and then add a promise of rewards in the afterlife for his servitude here on earth, and bingo: an ignorant and docile subject! If this sounds cynical and harsh, I'm sorry, but as the Bible says, "By their works ye shall know them." You only have to look at Cardinal Ratzinger's treatment of liberation theology (an oxymoron if there ever was one) to see that his election is business as usual for the church. While Salon continues to nitpick Benedict's intentions toward his peons, I can't help but recall the words of the philosopher and revolutionary Denis Diderot: "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." I can't condone the means -- but the end is a noble goal. -- Chad Bagley
