Doing everything exactly opposite from "The Mainstream" is the same thing as doing everything exactly like "The Mainstream."  You're still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference.

Oh hell, most of the time I'M the drunk one.

I used to do that, but the hangovers are more pain than the drunk is fun, if you know what I mean.

Observation: drunk people are, by and large, boring as hell.

Especially when they are the only other person around.
And watching them stumble to the bathroom is probably the most depressing thing you can ever watch.

I wanted to own a bar for such a long time. A bar where there are no TVs, old country music overhead, and maybe very small, a bar and a row of tables behind it. Very, very soft, cushy stools. The Soft Stool.

Then I realized I hate being around drunk people when I'm not and sometimes when I am.

It is not so easy to find a push-up bra in larger cup sizes.

I think there's a tendency to smother oneself, or at least what's know in the scene I run in as "titloaf".

Nope.  I had the best luck with Victoria's Secret, their Angel Dreams Push-Up is AMAZING and equally EXPENSIVE.

I just want something that gives the appropriate degree of cleavage in a vintage swing-style dress. I usually prefer Natori but they're basically like, DD? We aren't helping you with that.

I was eyeballing their stuff, I used to wear it all the time but haven't in a few years. I will probably end up giving them a try.

After waiting almost all night for a student to return:

"OK, I'm going to have to print off the fire list now."
Press print button.
Computer responds.
No less than 5 seconds later the student in question returns.
I silently scowl, and update the list again

The girlfriend complained of the same thing a lot, Nigel. Pretty sure Choppa's suggestion was mentioned at some point in conversation shortly before the issue was resolved.

Question about the forum that is too small to make a thread for in the recommended site section: If I edit a post or comment, does it show as a new reply notification for the thread to everyone else? I had made a post that had gotten very little replies after editing the main post. It's completely understandable if nobody posted because they weren't interested in the thread. I just didn't want the lack of activity to be because of a lack of understanding of the notification mechanics. Didn't know if it was better to make a new post in the thread, or edit the OP for aesthetics (bruh).

It wont generate a new notification if its edited, if you're using it as repository style its common for people to edit the original post to add in more information, and post an update message to refresh the thread.

Yeah, but have you seen their styles this year? <shudder> Neon yellow and pink... WTF.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), not all of their styles come in DD, either, so I was weeding through fugly after fugly hoping for a hit on the non-fugly. I may yet find something good, but I actually prefer more upscale brands like Freya.

Bars without TV are the best kind of bars, and sorely needed around here. The Beech, the Free House, and the Red Fox are all TV-less, but that's what, three bars out of the 150 or so that are local to us?
