Hey... Remember the 90s? + Weekend Thoughts
It's been awhile since the last post so I figured we'd start today with a look back, all the way back to the 90s.
Hey. Remember Zubaz Pantz? You know, the worst fad in the history of fashion?
Here are wrestling superstars The Road Warriors to jog your memory:
Get it? Jog? The kneeling one is even wearing the classic Buffalo Bills NFL zubaz. How July 4th, 1992 of him. "Dare to be Different" indeed. EBay fittingly (...) has it's own special link just for Zubaz. Even scarier, some rocket scientist out there is willing to pay $43 for a pair. You know that guy voted for Bush.
Speaking of Bush, his approval rating is down to 37% according to a CNN/Gallop poll and 52% of Americans no longer find him trustworthy. Could the fly-over states actually be waking up, rubbing the sand out of their eyes, and jumping out of bed to land in a karate pose of action? I certainly hope so.
At breakfast Saturday morning (I refuse to call it brunch), my friend called me a slut. She shouldn't say these things and then test her theory while people-watching at 11AM by pointing out strange women in passing crowds. I would like to refute her assetion by saying that all men, admittedly or not, are at least somewhat slutty. And besides, there's a difference between being slutty and just being easy. It's in our genes/jeans. However, if one must ask if he/she is slutty, then slutty he/she must be. The only honest answer to that question is "maybe just a little," and there's nothing wrong with being a little slutty. It's fun for everyone!
(I can't wait to get comments on that paragraph. I know at least one person will write, "Isn't that what they call a double-standard?" But that's not the case here at all...)
My upstairs neighbors vacuum at the strangest times, like 11PM at night or like last Saturday, at 9AM. This leads me to believe that they are actually spies and must run the vacuum to successfully hide their secret communiques for fear of bugs. My other neighbor's cat Jarvis is funny. However, he's no Chalmers, who has been missing in action lately.
Finally, my friend Nan is hosting a birthday party this weekend, with 4 bands, kegs, food, the works, with the door donations going to benefit hurricane victims. If you're in the city, come out, it's going to be a whiz-banger of a good time. Here's the invite:
HELP NOW II party: 100- candle birthday and H4H benefit, Saturday, Nov. 19th
1320 florida Ave NW @ Aaron Estes/Gwen Bingham+ roomie's house
7pm-7am
$5 donation for habitat for humanity 21+
donations for booze appreciated;)
the run in (8pm) -thebonapartes (9pm)-greenland (10pm)-thomas lunch(11pm)
3 deejays, beer, food, gwen's homemade choc chipper hot out of the oven all night, beer, birthday cake, did I mention beer?
spread the word, bring all your friends...The rowdier the better!
*Max's Note* If you haven't seen them yet, Greenland is not to be missed. I finally caught their set last Saturday night and it was truly good. The Bonapartes are also one of my local favorites. Come out. I guarantee it will be fun.
