PHIL NGUYEN

At one point, I think it was around 3:30 in the morning, we were on the casino floor and I kept staring at this old black lady with a cleft lip. And she was just pulling away at a slot lever without blinking and it made me feel really sad. But then I thought about how cheap gas was (I paid a $1.66!) and went on my merry way.

I think I've heard this story before. Well-played. I was in a version of The Three Piggy Opera in first grade, but none of the pigs were eaten.

I watched an interview with Ron Paul and must say that he's a compellingly interesting character. Is there any way that he and a third of the Republican party could split away and strengthen the libertarians into a major party?

The Democrats are invited too, with the exception of Ted Kennedy. I don't like him.

Quick synopsis:

1. A bunch of us were standing on a corner
2. They come walking by, lights and cameras and producers and all
3. A friend calls them a virus as they walk by.
4. They get angry
5. They walk away
6. Another friend yells back out at them - something about us being scientists (false)
7. They come back huffing and puffing. One of them apparently has high LSAT scores!
8. They make fun of how we are dressed. They are dressed in t-shirts and those kind of jeans that you buy and are pre-ripped
9. I think they wanted to chest bump, but sadly, my concavity prevented that
10. They walked away, scared like whoa - possibly not true

what happened with the real world brooklyn?

Their selection of vests makes me want to start signing up for a new credit card right now.

I heard awesome things about Taro. I think I'll check it out.

Also, the topman US site launched. . .damn pounds were adjusted, hah. I guess it was just well wishing to think that would keep the same number and just change the pound sign to a dollar sign.

good call with chrome. unlike firefox, it doesn't take up 90% of my virtual memory.

top shop midnight party, woot

ahh, true true. i get what you're saying. i think i just went off on my own tangent and lazily tried tying it back in to your post. . .hah

I agree with you on most points, but I think you miss my key assertion.

Using your example, during the Red Sox' down years, their fans probably watched the World Series even if their team wasn't involved, simply because they enjoy watching the sport.

A football parallel: I like the NY Giants. But I watch every Monday Night Football game, even though it's other teams.

Every year, there are the track and field world championships. I see it while channel surfing. However, no one watches those (TV ratings will prove that), yet people will flock to watch it during the Olympics just because of namesake.

I feel people just support whatever team is local to them. With the exception being world sports, like the World Cup, where most people look at merit and don't always just root for America (or at least I don't think they do. . . )

Anyways, what I am getting at is that there is no difference between the die hard sports fan and the passerby that blindly pledges allegiance to their local team.

Ex. I am a Mets fan. But I know absolutely nothing about baseball. I've never watched a baseball game on tv or been to one at a stadium. I like the Mets because they are the underdog and they are local to our area. And they have cool colors.

Now, take a look at the die hard Boston Red Sox fan (circa BEFORE they won the World Series). They'll know stats, players, trades, all that jazz. However, the Red Sox weren't really a good team before. The die hard fans primary reason for support was because of local association.

I feel that this theory probably works best for baseball.

There's nothing like free press.

Shauny!

Nothing wrong with older women!

Also, re: BYOP. I never liked them in the sense that I'd ever listen to them on my iPod. But more in the way that I'd listen to them while I'm dancing naked, trying to get dressed to go out on the town.

however, the chick in this band is super hot. No matter how old she is. . .

Now I feel dirty.

I always thought that band was meh.

Best female fronted band of the moment: Lemuria.

Though I have a feeling you may have liked them more in high school.

Great now all we're left with is Paramore, which is clearly a shameless BYOP knockoff.

It's still too short to see the look of the cut, but rest assured, that is coming. WHen my hair becomes of any length, I will put a pic up.

I think the "hipler" may an accurate assessment, though I don't think anything I do anymore is really "hip."

I hear your in NYC alot for work. Hit me up - I'll meet you for lunch.

hey you know alkaline trio's "radio" right? thats a start, hah.

man, im really bored at work

please post picture of said "front bang" hairstyle. i believe i know what you're talking about. . .but would just like to see a pic.

i think its the haircut that augie refers to as the "hipler", the hip hitler, hah.

What possessed you to buy a nuclear warhead?
