Title: My punk rock deed of the day
Post by: h-town on April 26, 2010, 03:41:59 PM
So I was at this afterhours tonight that had Karaoke and some coked up air-head I don't even know girl whom I will refer to as Santana from here on out sat on my lap out of nowhere and here is the conversation which transpired:

H-Town: So why are you sitting on me, Santana?

Santana: OMG I love your lap. Do you have an extra cigarette for me?

H-Town: I don't think so, I don't even know you.

Santana: Oh come on (pushing herself into me) you totally have an extra smoke.

H-Town: Okay fine, have a cigarette.

Santana: Wow, I love your hat. You're like Frank Sinatra. (Her hand is now on my inner thigh.)

H-Town: Well that is the look I'm going for  :roll:

Santana: Hey!.. You're going to sing a song with me.

H-Town: I don't know, I don't really want to sing a song with you.

Santana: Oh come on, please please please please please!

H-Town: No.

Santana: (Pushing herself into me more) Don't be shy, I think you want to sing with me.

H-Town: Okay relax. I'll sing a song with you. Let's sing a Bad Brains song, alright?

Santana: What's a bad brains?

H-Town: Get the fuck off me.

Punk Rock.

Prog Rock would mean I stayed home, smoked pot and watched pink floyd echoes instead.

I'm not sure you know how funny that is.


Anyway, girl tries to bum a cig off you, which you go along with.  Girl continues to flirt re: hat, which you also go along with.  Girl more or less gives off every indication that she'll fuck you if you sing with her.  You counter by referencing a DC hardcore band from thirty years ago that only a handful of bitter aging punks still remember.  Then, instead of educating her when she doesn't know what you're talking about, you tell her to fuck off.

While that is extrememly punk of you, it's still kind of an asshole move.

So.... You're proud you didn't get laid? :?

I was already hanging out with two pretty girls and a buddy of mine, and I am interested in one of them. Something tells me that if I went for the skeeziest girl in the bar in front of her it most likely would not put me in her good books. Mrs Bad Brains was all over the place that night; pissing off the staff, breaking glasses, shouting when people were singing and asking around for drugs from strangers. Just being a nuisance and I wasn't the only one annoyed with her.



I also want to add to the record that I am not a punk. I don't wear the same studded uk subs leather jacket everyday. One punk rock deed does not a punk rocker make.. I'm not sure what lifestyle genre I fit into, aging skater maybe? Anyone's guess is as good as mine.

I have to say in h-town's defense, that unsolicited, unexpected physical contact is really not fucking OK and it sounds like he dealt really politely with her trespasses, even more politely than I dealt with Mr. Earfinger, right up to the end.
Title: Re: My punk rock deed of the day
Post by: Triple Zero on April 27, 2010, 09:07:45 AM
Yeah that.

I don't see if it's an asshole move.

I mean, yeah if the girl had been really nice. But she wasn't. She was pushy and obnoxious, that much was clear from the OP, I didn't need his clarification three posts back, but it does confirm it was not an asshole move.

I mean, not saying it's the only way to respond to a pushy girl that is all over everybody in a bar, in fact it's not even the nicest way to subtly push her off. But it is adequate, and polite enough for the circumstances. Additionally if you're into one of the two girls that you're hanging out with, and they're watching, such firm and decisive yet funny action might even be required :)

OK, I will fix the timeline for you and add relevant details:

1993: Bang cute punk-rock boy with pink hair in filthy club restroom.
1994: Move to Oakland with cute punk-rock boy with pink hair.
Later 1994: Oops LOL brain tumor makes me ineligible for birth control pill. Luckily it also makes me infertile.
1995: Marry cute punk-rock boy with pink hair.
Later 1995: Decide to have a baby with cute punk-rock boy with pink hair. Start taking miserable drugs to combat tumor.
1997: Give up miserable drugs. Finally conceive first child.
1999: Motel 6, Tempe AZ. Hey, good news! I'm still not really infertile!
2000: Cute punk-rock boy with pink hair has transformed into fat unemployed asshole in sweatpants. Deploy divorce, get IUD
2002: Meet nerdy programmer boy. Oops, holy shit, I guess I'm REALLY not infertile! Wanna get married?
2003: Pregnant wedding followed by birth of Little Orange.

You know the rest.

2000: Cute punk-rock boy with pink hair has transformed into fat unemployed asshole in sweatpants.

And that's what happened to the punk movement, boys and girls.  Just like the hippies, only they became insurance salesmen.

Kind of makes up for it.   :lol:

Makes up for what?

Dok,
Dense.

Having those bastards spagging up our clubs with their punk rock all those years.

Ah.  It all becomes clear.


Sorry to make you go through all that.

As I recall, 80s punk mostly sucked.  Technical skill on instruments was disdained, and hoarsely screaming into the mike was what passed for singing.

Several things happened simultaneously right there.

I was apologizing to Nigel for repeating her history, but I thought your zinger was worth it.

Then, I realized you said "punk rock --> insurance" which made me laugh on a very personal level.


Finally, as someone once said, 90% of everything is crap.  I admit punk was part of this.

However, some real gems were buried in that crap, and I hold them dear.

Minutemen
Husker Du
Wire
Gang of Four
Buzzcocks



For example.

Theodore Sturgeon.  Also, I did say "most".  There was some good stuff.

:lulz:

Isn't that what happens to most movements?

The youngsters think they are onto something hip, new, and awesome, possibly even world changing, and the previous generation just doesn't get it.  Then it turns out for ~90% it's just a phase.  They grow out of it and become overweight productive members of society.  What's left just cling onto glory days, dreaming about how awesome they used to be.  Life being the cruel mistress that she is makes these people overweight too.

I think another part of it is that they get so occupied with 'fighting the man' that they stumble when they find that they have been handed the reigns and are now 'the man'....
'oh, fuck!  what do i do now?  shit.... what did my folks do?  i'll do that.   just not as well.'
