and the color of my boots: rivethead?
Sep. 19th, 2003 10:53 amI was with a friend last night in a coffee shop in San Rafael, and some stranger sitting there looked at my boots and was like "Hey I really like your boots man!"
They were my military boots with the zipper on the side. They still had playa funk on them.
I responded to him "You know this not the actual color or style of the boots."
To which he said, "Oh, I know, dawg! I'm a rivethead, too! I 'm down with Burning Man, I know the drill!"
I don't know what was odder; the guy thinking all burners are rivetheads, which puts into question his understanding of the term 'rivethead' (I'm not too sure of it, myself) or that this guy was whiter than wonder bread and called me 'dawg'.
This is hurting my brain to process.

kailara posted about this earlier:
This magazine is the latest modern assault on teenage women to shove christian dogma down their throats. Only it's hip and with color!
Just look at the cover.
Funny thing is, couldn't three girls in a photo such as that just as easily end up on the cover of The Advocate under the headline "Teen Lesbians: Out, Proud, and Fearless!"
What would really make me crack up is if that photo isn't 3 proper christian girls, but just a photo from a stock photo cd. I would love for a another magazine like The Advocate or On Our Backs to use the photo as part of an piece whose subject matter is so anti-christian. That sort of culture jamming tends to put a smile on my face.

Ok, So it's talk like a pirate day, fine.
People have pointed to the website, fine.
Some people have quipped in pirate-ese, ok.
But, Wil, did you have to write your entire post in pirate-ese!!??!?
Arrgh! I be returning my copy of Dancing Bearfoot and demand my money back plus 20% for emotional damage!
