Re: Relvance through fecundity?
 

I have no idea what mumblecore or the Duggars are, but that is because of my double-plus uncoolness.

But the real reason I'm posting is to say that when I first read it, I thought the last word was "poops" instead of "pops" and was staggeringly confused.

Unhipsterness
 

I'd been glossing over mumblecore until now. I looked at the wikipedia entry and have never heard of the movies listed there. Which confirms I am not a hipster in case any of you was under some mad delusion that I might be.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

Again, I only know of Ed Hardy from posts that mock it on textsfromlastnight.com.

"Douchebag" has been in my vernacular since the mid-90s.

I knew that there was a TV show about a family with a ton of kids (besides Jon & Kate + 8 + Sorority Sluts), but I didn't know they were the Duggars (until I googled it).

Hollister appears to be the B.U.M equipment of this generation.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

In another year or so, Ed Hardy will be the Hollister of this generation.

I am allergic to Abercrombie & Fitch. Just FYI.

I don't understand clothing with names on it. I didn't get it when the Coca Cola shirts were in, and I don't get it now. Although I do have a pair of pants with the word "COUGAR" emblazened on my ass. But that is different and actually obviously appropriate.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I have a t-shirt with the name of a famous mumblecore director on it from before he was mumblecore. I got it on e-Bay.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

Aside from jeans and workout gear, I don't have a single article of clothing with a visible label or logo.

I was dismayed to learn that Gilly Hicks, my favorite maker of panties, is owned by A&F. How could the discriminating, douchey A&F make such excellent and well-cut underwear?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

Yep, I refuse to pay for something that is basically an advertisement. In 8th grade we were much less rational, though.

That means:

• No Polo shirts;
• Nothing with obnoxious exterior labels (although this is difficult for ski jackets/vests - almost all of them have labels...REI's labels, however, are very subtle).

I also would never buy a designer/fashion watch* or suit**. The best suit and watchmakers are those companies that specialize in suits and watches.

*outsourced watches made for designer labels such a Gucci, Prada, Chanel;
**Burberry, Prada, Gucci

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

8th grade is a marvelous time for brand name marketers.

I remember when I was in jr. high and wanted something with the brand name all over it. Fugee Dad said if you are wearing advertising for a company, they should pay you, you shouldn't be paying them to advertise for them. At the time I thought he was so off base but now I realize he is right.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

The most horrifying retail experience I have had ever was at Abercrombie & Fitch. My boyfriend got a gift certificate from a relative so we decided to brave it so he could get a pair of jeans. First of all, we had to LINE UP to get into the store. Like it's a nightclub or something. Thankfully, we only waited 5 min or so. Then, it's pitch black in there. I kept tripping over stuff. Also, the music is blasting so you can't say what you need to the salesperson, who isn't paying any attention to you anyway. Also, it stinks. Absolutely stinks.

And they wouldn't let me in the fitting room with my boyfriend even though I just wanted to see how his jeans fit and we had absolutely no intentions of having sex or whatever they thought we were going to get up to because it's the unsexiest atmosphere ever. Also it is filled with Eurotrash and tourists and kids from Jersey and Staten Island. I am never going back in there.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

Gift certificate or no, there is no fucking way I would wait for the privileged of any shopping experience.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

You wear panties?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I had a job where I had to wear a button down shirt with my name and the logo "Pontiac". actually i had five- one for each work day. I drove cars around a parking lot, but ruined the asphalt one hot day so I got fired:mad::confused:

I kept one of the shirts and wore it often, including to law school. Sometimes my classmates asked if I worked at a Pontiac dealership (I was actually a quasi-judicial official of the United States Dept. of commerce at the time). I would lie and tell them I was in pact working for a dealership, and was studying franchise law as my intended major. Ha ha.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

you really think the doorman would let you in?

But you look marvelous in Gucci, dear.

Legally Hank
 

Was the shirt pink?

GWINK, I forget -- is that you in your avatar?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I would buy a shirt that said A. Fitch, but not for advertising purposes.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

No, it is not me. I am a little sexier.

Ooh, that reminds me that I do have a sexy picture of me that I could use as an avatar. I will need to get on that.

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

Those Tempurpedic (sp?) mattresses suck. They're like rocks until they get broken in, which takes forever.

We have a Sealy 'Newport Beach' latex bed and let me tell you something: After my new tv, it was the best thing I ever purchased. I think they've changed the marketing for them, so they're going by different names now, but I have yet to lie in a bed anywhere that is as comfortable. Go find one and lie on it and I dare you not to buy it.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I have a fcuk shirt. I still wear it on occasion because it looks fabulous on me. I also have tons of emblazoned Pearl Izumi and Castelli stuff, including socks that I sometimes wear in non-athletic situations. I also have the word "Juicy" tattooed on my cock. But that's it.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I still get irritated with the chick that "borrowed" my Banana Republic tee shirt in eighth grade the last day of school. I never saw it again.

Screw you Anne Coward.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

Crap. I forgot about biking clothing. Right.

Have you seen Devin Hester's Louis Vuitton car?

I know he's not a big guy, but that car makes him look tiny.

No -- if it was her, the fingers would be moving.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I do, after I ended up with a large, visible wet spot on the back of a grey skirt while I was at a restaurant.

I wear a variety of thongs, bikinis, boy shorts, and lacy wisps of nothing, none of which are never noticed by the LMA until I put them back on.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

This reminds me. There is a bus shelter downtown with a picture of a naken woman's torso with red boxing gloves covering her breasts. I think that'd be a great avatar.

Couldn't find that but there is this one:

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

Do you like a soft or firm mattress? I've slept on a bed with at least a latex top (if not latex the whole way through), and it was pretty nice. Good for allergies, too.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

You mean my Anne?

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

Old school tempurpedic, yes, but the new beds for the past few years take no breaking in. The lma has the latex sealy -- he hates it and prefers mine.

In other words, JP, get thee to a furniture store and check the beds out for yourself.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I saw that on a recent trip and am still kicking myself I didn't take a picture of it for Gwinky. What's your excuse?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I thought I'd be able to find it online. Maybe I should pay attention to what it's advertising.

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

Latex bed???

toilet taken?

since e/o is back, i seem dumber

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

psst.... Fugee.... that's not latex, it's leather.

You really don't get out much, do you?

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

plus that isn't thurgreed's hairline:(

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

My mil has a Tempurpedic, and we've slept on it at her house many times, including for a two-week stretch. I'm not a fan. It conforms to your body, there aren't pressure points, etc.--all good. But if you want to change position or--heaven forfend--roll over, you have to heave yourself up out of your weight-created ditch. There's just no spring-back to help you move around. And that also makes them impossible for the kids to jump on (granted, not a serious flaw if you don't have kids).

On the recommendation of someone here, we got a natural latex mattress (with a wool-filled quilted top and an all-cotton cover) from flobeds.com. I love it. It feels really soft, but doesn't lack spring and is perfectly supportive. I've had much less lower-back pain in the four+ years we've had it.

And she wants to be our latex saleswoman?

Re: What happened to the blow jobs and the buttsex?
 

Tell that to the company that makes them. They say it's latex. http://www.betweenthesheets.co.uk/la...ing-sheets.htm

Back to the Douchebags
 

The Houston Press came up with a helpful diagram and definition. (We have a street that was once full of live music venues that has recently been taken over by high-ish end bars, and the indie music folk have been bitching for the last week about it because the last live music venue on the street announced it is closing at the end of the month.)

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/douchetool.jpg

Their definition: "(n) An individual who has an over inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears."

So what's the female equivalent? A Hank?
