barong place, barong time i inadvertently found myself this evening at a planning session for a bachelor weekend id already begged out of attending. however i was particularly tickled while the relative merits of place price and prostitutes were bandied about to needle one loudmouthed participant who was time was constrained for this future baccanal by a previous engagement, that being tickets to attend a concert with his wife to see james taylor. nothing says debauch like sweet baby james.
and i wish i could do justice to the scene of taking measurements for the barongs which are the traditional filipino shirts worn at weddings and are custom fit for all. a standard tape measure wasnt precise enough for my precision minded bridegroom at these proceedings. no, what was required were two swords, one a novelty sword which collapsed in upon itself, the other wooden. however, no level was used to ensure they were not askew when placed at waist and shoulder level (although i did ruefully suggest a plumline) so the entire exercise was less than futile but not all that much less. noone was injured during this swashbucking affair but a $135 shirt was torn by a dull mind wielding a dull blade. seems the seams of said collapsible blade were sharper than the edge enough so to produce a cottonary lesion one not soon to heal. fortunately i was neither wielder nor wielded, and so this story like so many others ends happily.
ive got a brand new pair of underalls One is that for the most part the equity — the idea — is the only thing the company is interested in owning. River West acquires brands when the products themselves are dead, not merely ailing. Aside from Brim, the brands it acquired in the last few years include Underalls, Salon Selectives, Nuprin and the game maker Coleco, among others. “In most cases we’re dealing with a brand that only exists as intellectual property,” says Paul Earle, River West’s founder. “There’s no retail presence, no product, no distribution, no trucks, no plants. Nothing. All that exists is memory. We’re taking consumers’ memories and starting entire businesses.”

people are morans dont know which story is dumber, the obama "bitter" remark or this one about unearthing a buried redsox jersey in yankee stadium to ward off a potential curse. footnote: steinbrenner junior is sick fuck. many happy returns, yankee fans.

chips ahoy never quite understood the last lines to the all in the family themesong. thought it was "gro la salle ran great" was some reference to a politician or a high school track team. but i was reading a book about the 20s today and they mentioned general motors had a line of cars called the lasalle. and for whatever reason many hours later i was humming the themesong as i stuffed my face with tortilla chips and i had a revelation not unlike constantine. they were talking about a car! saints be praised. now if i could only figure out who the man is that chico speaks of.
*the lasalle division was created to fill the gaping yaw between the well-off patrons of buicks and the well-to-do owners of cadillacs.
