I really hope you weren't wearing that to a client meeting Orhan, I could just seem them refusing to pay the agreed fees because a "little birdy" said so
myriam- i personally wouldn't use the word "fleece" to describe the hoody at all. it really doesn't seem any different than any other hooded sweatshirt that i've ever had.
OK, I can see having a problem with buying more crap as a cure for the world's problems. But I also have a huge problem with this critical quote from the article:
"The Red campaign proposes consumption as the cure to the world's evils," said Ben Davis, creative director at Word Pictures Ideas, co-creator of the site (buylesscrap.org, which encourages people to give directly to the Global Fund). "Can't we just focus on the real solution -- giving money?"
A whole lot of people out here depend on people buying more crap so that we can make a living and thus donate money to cause we believe in. How about focusing on a real solution that involves getting to a root cause of poverty, which maybe can be accomplished with very small amounts of actual cash?
Sorry Marlin I feel like I'm criticizing a lot of the things you post lately - really, it's not about you!
(That's fine, Lib. My solution to poverty is radical military mobilization / deployment to third world countries. The world needs our manpower, not our charity. Not cheap by any means, and not too popular a solution. I didn't notice that you were criticizing anything i said, so no harm no foul.
Take issue with the quote, lib, but what's at stake in the article is the difference between the 18 million in sales vs. the 100 million dollar cost of the project. Above that, people don't depend on people buying more crap: If you produce something the market won't buy, you've produced crap. In the case of (RED), The market didn't bite despite the increased value from the knowledge that the profits would be redirected to charity. It's crap. Buying crap is not a solution.)

hey mdler the trunk is looking a little "limp"..........................................................OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
WOW... i really didn't need that to be burned into my retinas... i had been wondering how long it would take for someone to post a real elephant trunk pic...
post a picture of yourself in your brand new "architecture sucks" tee
I really hope you weren't wearing that to a client meeting Orhan, I could just seem them refusing to pay the agreed fees because a "little birdy" said so
ok...so i'm obviously not as talented as susan surface...but i am wearing "go to bottom" undies...
oh cool! hey puddles, how "fleecy" is the fleece? lots of nubbly texture or low nubbly texture?
lookin' good, puddles.
myriam, excellent use of the word "nubbly".
Convenient how the decay on the bottom of the mirror obscures whether Puddles is or is not wearing pants.
PS By that I mean - I may be talented but YOU are a genius.
ooh la la
myriam- i personally wouldn't use the word "fleece" to describe the hoody at all. it really doesn't seem any different than any other hooded sweatshirt that i've ever had.
susan- genious?! once again you have made my day
sweet dreams all
Maybe Archinect's LESS hoodies will do better than Bono's buy more shit (RED) campaign.

Back to pics of t-shirts, sorry.
wait a sec...are the hoodlums, err, i mean, hoodies already getting mailed?!?
where's mine?!? wtf?!?
oh, i may just have to abandon these MEP's and go home and check the mail, though it never arrives before 6pm anyway.
anyone else think that postal workers are lazy?
just kidding really, but i do wish my mail to arrive before night falls.

this pictures were taken soon after I declared you 'hot'
I'm surprised that you have two laundry baskets. I mean considering how little clothing you generally wear.
Is that how you dress for site visits? Let's see a pic on the "Jobsite pic of the day" thread!

I was just going to post those lyrics...
Ms Surface is partly to blame, BTW
She was the one who told me to post them. And last time I checked you knew how to use Photoshop too, dear.
uhmmm....errr

WOW... i really didn't need that to be burned into my retinas... i had been wondering how long it would take for someone to post a real elephant trunk pic...
Well, alright! A thread where men (?) can post pictures of themselves half-naked. Let me get my camera.
For an interesting twist on "Tainted Love", check out the version by "Coil".
to do Ms Surface some justice, I resized the above image

Ha ha ha ha ha.
Clean that thing.
That's not something I wanted to see right after lunch.

The Elephant is Slow to Mate - DH Lawrence
The elephant, the huge old beast,
is slow to mate;
he finds a female, they show no haste
they wait
for the sympathy in their vast shy hearts
slowly, slowly to rouse
as they loiter along the river-beds
and drink and browse
and dash in panic through the brake
of forest with the herd,
and sleep in massive silence, and wake
together, without a word.
So slowly the great hot elephant hearts
grow full of desire,
and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
hiding their fire.
Oldest they are and the wisest of beasts
so they know at last
how to wait for the loneliest of feasts
for the full repast.
They do not snatch, they do not tear;
their massive blood
moves as the moon-tides, near, more near
till they touch in flood.
namby
I dont think Garpike got the message
Elephants have big bacula.
look at those crazy eyes - not a good sign
Hahahaha love that pic, kristin! You are braver than I!
Kristin,
may all your dreams come true
I like a girl with man-hands
