I loved it, really. I would have strung her out further if the shredder dude hadn't intervened. I mean, I was a little embarrassed for her, but y'know, I'm not the only old fat guy who practices there. Maybe she'll be a little less of an asshole to the next one.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Oh Corwood. Those hipsters, with their attitudes and complicated hair.
And their Zimas!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, she deserved something after actually thinking it was appropriate to snark on what you were wearing as if you, a musician, are too foolish to know some stupid rule about your own band's t-shirts. Also, BANTER!

I guess I get extra irritated by pretentious baby hipsters because I know plenty of people her age who don't make me feel like a lame creep for going to shows with them, so obviously it's possible for Kids Today not to be ignorant asshats.
I guess I also have to come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to be hip again.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's a mythic tale for the ages -- with, like, twenty different morals, all excellent and deeply needed. I just copied it and emailed it to Hec in his little no-b.org-access cubicle at work, because it's just too good to make him wait until tonight.

I'm still not clear on why she thought you were in GBV, Corwood. Do you look like somebody in the band? (I know what you look like, but not what they do.) What a weird leap to make. If you'd had a Stones shirt on would she have assumed you were one of the not-Mick/not-Keith members of the band? And she's clearly not in a band if she thinks you shouldn't wear your own shirt. It's called promotion. Advertising. Wear that Parks and Wildlife shirt, my friend! Too proud to pimp your own gig? Find a new line of work.
Did anyone send juliebird the Buffistarawk info?

As FAQWife just said to me, "I totally thought that dude was, like, immortal."
Which may well be the first time KS was referred to as a "dude".

Stockhausen died.
Is suddenly ashamed he didn't know he was still alive.
Corwood, that story is a thing of beauty. They should film it and show it every Xmas.
I'm still not clear on why she thought you were in GBV, Corwood.
My guess is that she didn't even know who GBV were and that she just assumed because he was wearing a t-shirt of band she didn't recognize the name of it must have been his band.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An easy mistake to make. If you're an idiot.
