Do people still say that?

Billy Idol! I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen him, at least 8 but probably more like 10-11. Two of those times I got meet-and-greet tickets so I’ve got two pics of me and my husband with Billy and Steve Stevens :)

Ugh it’s perfect, I need more absurdist comics like this!

Yeah but they didn’t factor in the extra mass from all those gas station pepperoni sticks so

I never realized his waistband had elastic before.

A hundred percent. I love alone time and I know exactly what kind of socializing I’m up for, so I’d be an easy person for me to spend time with. I have the same interests as me and the same taste in food too. It would be cool to go get a pedi together and then get a bit day drunk (or day buzzed, anyway).

I actually love this idea. How make happen?

I hear ya. I don’t mean clean as in sterile, just seems like you can never get all the grease off of them. They always seem like they’re covered in a film of old cooking oil.

I don’t know how people can stand cast iron pans. I know they’re supposed to be great for cooking but I always feel like you can never really get them all the way clean.

Yeah and she was a fucking hypocrite because when she got sick she absolutely accepted medical care. Plus there’s this.

I committed to sleeping in a silk bonnet every night, and my hair is so much nicer now :)

You thinking EDS?

What’s a potato?

Or took AZO.

Agreed, but it’s lox :)

Don’t forget the capers!

Oh my god I forgot all about Mallory Ortberg’s interpretations of monk paintings! I used to love these.

Unrelated but she once wrote something like “everyone knows that to properly make a bed, you need to circle it like a shark” and the truth of that has stuck with me ever since. Why is my brain like this haha

Imagine giving birth to that.

I mean, duh. Baked beans are stupidly sweet.

I wore a Blossom hat to school. I had just started junior high and it was like the third day of the school year. I had this brand new crushed velvet hat with little pink rosebuds and I was so excited to wear it. I paired it with a satin floral vest, a pink turtleneck, and a pair of stirrup pants, as was the style at the time, and strutted into school knowing I was stylin’.

I had no idea there was a rule against hats, and in homeroom, in front of everyone, my battleaxe of a homeroom teacher yelled at me: “Who told you you could wear a hat?!” To which little timid me said “… my mom?” And she yelled “You know you’re not allowed to wear hats in school, take that off right now! I don’t want to see it again!” And I almost fucking cried.

Thanks for embarrassing me in front of everyone, Mrs. DeFilippo.

Are you the same young German dude who has made similar posts to this under alts a bunch of times already? I feel like I started seeing these months ago.

I actually love that because you can add your own color with paint, throw rugs, furniture, etc. It allows you to start from a blank canvas.

For contrast, my parents’ house has one bathroom with a mustard yellow toilet and yellow-and-white floor tile, and another bathroom with an avocado green toilet and matching shower enclosure. These were put in by the previous owner and date back to the '70s. They’re in perfectly good shape, so my folks don’t want to replace them, but it does force them to decorate those rooms with complementing colors, and they will never not look dated.
