Repeat after him!

And could you go ahead and do that thing that you already decided you should do? And like, it’s due today (I know you already knew that but it gives me pleasure to remind you)? Thx. Totally appreciate it.

But not *you* per se, I don’t appreciate YOU.

Let’s just make sure that’s clear.

Val,  former VP of Marketing, victim of a lowdownsizing, is slumming at Whole Foods. In produce. Ugh.

Tiffany kissed her Nordstrom job (and discount, dammit) goodbye and may have to work at her dad’s architechture firm.

But hey, it’s what you do to get through tough, frightening times.

Estrella scrubs hotel room toilets in the morning, then waits tables in the evening. Akira washes cars, paints houses and does gardening for several households. They’ve been working multiple jobs – boring, hard and mindless – for years. It’s what you do when you’re fighting for a better life.

I gotta ask: Is this a White Recession?

it’s called Leprositic Infantitis: you wear infantile behavior on you like a skin disease. frinstance: dumbass twinkies who talk? like everything? is a question?

i know that’s a very old complaint, but it’s worse when it’s worn-out old and it’s still a problem. like rupert murdoch.

milk out.

My god.

This short film is part of a national campaign started by Women’s Aid and you can learn more here.

Meanwhile, I’ll just sit here being happy I’m single.

20-something girl, drily: …She was less mature than you?

20-something boy: <reproachful silence>

20-something girl: I’m just kidding!… I love it when you wear purple.

20-something boy: It’s eggplant.

I loved these two.   Thanks to them I was kept entertained on a very crowded train.  They distracted me from a George Saunders story even!  Hard to do.

This exchange was also good:

20-something girl: I love your earrings!

20-something boy: I made them myself.

20-something girl: No, you didn’t.

20-something boy: No, I didn’t.

I need help here.  It’s awesome….kinda…that she ripped him a new one (old one?).  And I guess Bill is the Elephant that will never leave the Room.  But.  But.  Isn’t she just pit-marrying?  It is possible that he was (is?) a sex offender. After all.

I guess I just don’t know how I feel about this <ho ho ho/ chortle/ what a rake> mentality towards Bill; I was so in his court during his terms and am only processing my distaste for various affronts now.  So this leaves me feeling a bit creeped out.

What do y’all think?

-Jam out.

Come on. Really?

Hmmm.  Now maybe the Phelps news has me all paranoid, but this seems to be a reference to something I never heard of until I was older and met pot-smokers from un-PC places like Jersey: the ‘Chinese Eyes’ effect.

If she wasn’t already busy being pissed I was high, and my mother heard me refer to my high that way?  She would have slapped me into decency.   So imagine my surprise when I learned this was common street parlance in some parts of the pot-smoking world.  Here on the Pacific rim, I don’t think it would have occurred to me, but once an idea gets in your head it changes the landscape.  Ergo, I must admit that when I saw the above image I thought, ‘these kids are telling the camera how high they are and being REALLY SUBTLE about it for their Facebook pages’ and my second thought was ‘this ‘Chinese Eyes’ thing isn’t dead yet???’ and my third thought was ‘I guess that Asian kid doesn’t smoke weed.’

Am I high?  Is she just racist?  Is she, more than and in addition to being racist, merely possessing of the worst taste in friends imaginable?  All of the above?  Discuss!

Closing thoughts:

1.  It’s clear we need to legalize pot if even Phelps, the world’s most boring person when on land, is doing it.

2. Regardless of the reason, Miley should be grounded.

3. MMM…salt and pepper Kettle chips….

4. The most disturbing thing about that photo for me is how much 4 of the kids in it look like millenial versions of people I knew in college.

In closing, you gotta love people.  For instance, none of these people gave advice such as: Don’t Effing Say That, You Twit.

-jam out!
