GM's thread about nothing (80 Viewers)

is this a GM cookie. i really want to try one as a sleep aid. i'm not into the green at all, but wouldn't mind something to help me get to sleep i'll still take it if it's not a gm cookie.

 
Trying to figure out if we should blame that on drunkedness or mental illness. Definitely a few degrees south just being (which most of us can drift into/out of with ease).

Sunny day happy people! Colder than a well diggers knee but damn that is sunshine streaming through the concrete canyons this morning, folks. Plus I'm all toasty in my new I-sawit-on-pininterest parka.

I feel so good today I think I'll have a kale & avocado omelet.

Boooooooooooo :thumbdown: ... Did you get the feminine one with fur around the hood too? I can't walk 5 blocks without seeing 10 of these coats. My wife wanted one and I had to talk her off it.

You have no idea how much anguish that caused me. It is a damn good coat and simultaneously such a despicable fad around Manhattan.If I just I would have held out for a few more days I could have had a Carhartt.

I used to love sample sales when I first came to NYC. I came here about a year before the dot com explosion (2.5 years before the implosion) and my ex-wife got me on this insiders listserv. It was amazing! I would walk into these garment district lofts and I was getting great deals on designer threads. Then a couple websites popped up (eventually they got snapped up by Top Button) and the cool unknown became a ubitquous #### show. But one day I thought I had found the motherlode. I came in beaming to show off this killer Burberry top coat to my COO. "Dude, go down to that park right below the bull, Bowling Green - these guys are selling everything for $20-50! It's a mad house scene!" Um, yeah, BL, those guys are trying to move a truckload in a half hour. Those are stolen goods.

:bag:

The not best part about having kids is when they don't feel good and HAVE to sleep in your bed. The super not best part is when the 2 year old wakes up at 5am and pukes all over the bed, his brother, and his mom.

I first started noticing those things two winters ago- not a ton, but enough to where I noticed them and mentioned to the wife. Of course I got the "you don't know about Canada Goose?" lecture... because of course, a fashion designer has to be eight steps ahead of the trends. Last year I being aware of them, I noticed they were everywhere. This year- everywhere everywhere.

fwiw- the wife thinks they're great... not overly stylized or branded (what I call "yippity-yo"), very well-made and very warm. sounds like you got a great coat... for a ninny. zing.

eta: but maybe, having worked in SoHo and the Fashion distrcit the last few years, what seems omnipresent to me (us) is really still cutting edge to the rest of the country? let's see if we get an otis trend-alert "attention you nerds- you should be wearing this" thread next winter.

Like all fashion trends around here, this one has taken off too much this season and will be out by next winter.

 
Meanwhile, I'm walking around the Bryant Park area approaching random dudes in Canada Goose jackets going "BobbyLayne, is that you?"...

I'm 0 for 153 this morning, but soon enough I'll find him.

-fish came after me about participating in MT's thread, so I responded.

You may have happier days, and less tedious things. Peace, guys. Thanks for hosting!

eta* And before you think I started it, you can look that up. Right here!!! #249689

oh well.

rock- I've never minded you outside of this latest meltdown.

I'm not a fan of "talking" behind people's backs, in here or elsewhere. I do my best to confront people to their face, or just avoid it/them if I don't care enough. So I guess I understand feelling a little hurt by somebody talking crap about you in one place and then buddying up to your face.

this persecution complex thing- you can do better with it. you've said your bit, which is fine- but it's annoying (to me) as hell to just keep on and on and on and on and on about it across the entire forum. unless your intent is to annoy, let it go please. or keep it in your I'm persecuted thread.

Seriously, I will do. eta*(even with your scoldy wording). Had my drunk thing with -fish- and my own thread to address a few people. Got it, really. Won't be back unless people start stuff again. Try not to troll the SP, guys.

Did it include, "Has never demonstrated knowledge of the existence of the song All About That Bass?"

:e: and the SP and the gambling thread and even GMTAN. They're all inter-linked. They all troll the SP and do weird stuff that is anti-social (it's OPM from here; most of you all are very cool). -fish- and I just got into it, probably because of stuff I said about him back in the tim thread. He took his shot. I responded in turn. Should be over.

And yeah, I'm crazy, but that's about 750 ml worth of work in me last night.

Wait, what? I thought you were like, retired and stuff except for a few side jobs?

Maybe this was an annual review by Mr. Krista? "The brick pizza oven is very nice, well done. We've moved 8 times in the last year, need a little work there." (Takes out red Sharpie and starts scribbling on paper)
