Litiquette VI

[hotwords229_A]

Can’t call it Chipsters. I’ve trademarked that name for a wood chipper I’ve designed to specifically target the hipster problem. It’s designed to chip through flannel, Apple watches, ironic chain wallets, percolators, handlebar mustaches, skinny jeans, 1920s era hats, TOMS and MacBooks of any shape and size.

The best part is, you don’t have to remove the hipster before throwing it in the Chipster.

As long as it runs on gasoline and creates lots of carbon emissions. Otherwise, it sounds a little too efficient and green so you may have to throw yourself in it.

< Today, tell us the areas where you're determined or where you have self-discipline. What parts of your life are you in complete control?

I felt like this was a trick question. Do I try to be in control all the time? Absolutely. What am I actually in control of? Nothing.

Zero, zilch, nada.


Then I read Hotword's answer.

I'm stealing it.

When it comes to taking care of other's I am a freaking packhorse. A machine. I can carry loads that would down other's to their knees.

Doing things for me? Eh. I suck. It's kinda sad, really.

@Endless- I should’ve said wallet chains. Or chained wallets.

I’m loathed to post this, as the dipshit is making a mockery of boat shoes.

I’m disciplined about a few things:

Finances. I’ve got my shit together there.

Schooling. I can write papers or take tests or do anything related to that early without pressure.

Music. I practice for hours at a time, when I get the chance.

Work. I’ve always been able to do well where I work and in my field.

Everything comes back to tigers lately...

That photo is insane!!

Although, I used to wear my Caterpillar boots with khaki chinos.

I was not being ironic.

Well, I was being ironic by wearing 'Caterpillar' branded boots in Peoria, but not about work boots with chinos.

I wonder if I still have the chain for my old motorcycle wallet....

I've not seen pmanns shoe collection.

I had Vegemite and avocado toast for breakfast.

I haven't looked at today's question yet.

 

[LurkingPhoenix]

Yesterday we talked about vices. The things we cannot control in ourselves. The shitty green food is a vice I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Today, tell us the areas where you're determined or where you have self-discipline. What parts of your life are you in complete control?

I'm disciplined at work. I have a strong work ethic, mostly. I'm professional and very damned good at what I do.

The rest of my life? I'm a fucking walking disaster.

Forget the shoes, post your curmudgeonly feline.

I've learned that usually when you think you have something under control, some higher being or whatever comes along and smacks the shit out of you. Instead, I accept that I may not be able to control everything (or even some days most things), with the exception of how I choose to react.

Namaste, bitches. (And by bitches I mean that in a loving way.)

Today, tell us the areas where you're determined or where you have self-discipline. What parts of your life are you in complete control?

I'm disciplined in a few areas...

- My spending. I'm not a big spender and don't really enjoy making big purchases which has put me in a very comfortable financial state.

- My eating. Green foods are important, no matter what your 10 year old self thinks. So is drinking water.

- My job. I admittedly spend most of my day chatting, but I get my work done and I do it well. I was also told this week that I'm "the enforcer" of policy and procedure at work, so I guess I'm quite disciplined in following the rules.

Ahhh. I see.

The rules of masculine sartorial elegance are not exactly my forte, so someone correct me if wrong, but isn't it something of a ghastly faux pas to wear socks with boat shoes? At least if they're not no-show socks?

Unless you’re over the age of 70...

 

[Endless_Night]

Huh. Was this a what-am-I-good at question? I need a do over!

Financials.

Academics.

Difficult project? Check.

Difficult situation to be handled? *cracks knuckles*


Those would be in addition to the take-care-of-other-people thing.



Otherwise, I am pretty darn useless.

 

[Endless_Night]

Unless you’re over the age of 70...

Haha! I do believe anything over the age of 70 positively requires calf-high socks.

White socks, for sure. They’re made to be worn without socks. Absolutely. But if you had on something like navy chinos, you could wear navy socks with them.

NEVER WHITE SOCKS. He is the perfect candidate for my Chipster (patent pending, so don’t nix my idea, motherfuckers).

For the record, I am totally on board with the Chipster.

Heck, I might even be convinced to invest.

It’s a good investment. If we could get rid of the hipsters... this world would be a better place.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Hey cool cats and kittens...

So I realize disdain for hipsters is pretty irrational. Like, they don't really do anything to me personally, except annoy my eyeballs to no fucking end. While I don't fear them (because their weak little arms and skinny legs are of no threat), my irrational dislike of them is the inspiration for today's question.

What irrational fears do you have? Are there any things that you just can't stomach, even though the reality of what you fear is pretty much harmless? Fears don't always make sense. But for the people who have them, the feelings are as real as anything.

Man...I saw this pic last night and laughed so hard....then I came here this morning, and I swear I laughed even harder. Not even to be buried in. When my grandfather died, they showed him in a suit. No one had ever seen him in a suit. We had them change him to his bibs and flannel shirt. Farm boy proper. Fuck....I am laughing again...the shit people wear thinking it makes them cool. I can wear nothing and be way cooler.

What’s ironic is that they aren’t trying to be cool...they actually think they are being unique. Which of course is laughable.

I read this the other day and had a good laugh about the "hipster effect” : https://www.npr.org/2019/03/10/7020...ters-look-alike-by-mistaking-photo-as-himself

When my son was little, I had an irrational fear of him being abducted. As he’s gotten older, I don’t fear that as much.

I do have 2 other irrational fears though that I have had forever and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

I have a fear that when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night that a snake is going to come up through the pipes and bite me on the ass.

I also fear mayonnaise. Everything about it. The smell, the taste, the look of it. I go to great lengths to avoid contact with it at all costs. One time my coworkers thought it would be a hoot to cover every inch of my desk in mayonnaise packets.

 

[Cthulhu1138]

I am with LonelyWife in my disdain for mayonnaise (and avocados) and will go to great lengths to avoid it at all costs.

At restaurants, I claim an allergy.

I have several fears, including but not limited to:
getting severely injured on the way to work and my wife finding out about this place and my antics; a co-worker or my boss finding out how much of a pervert I am and it affecting my job; coming home some day to my find my hairy little princess cold and lifeless, knowing that I was not there when she passed.

As for irrational fears, when I was little I was always afraid of dropping things from high places.

As in, the camera around my neck would tumble off an observation tower to the ground when the strap broke, or somehow the keys in my pocket would suddenly leap out of said pocket and go right off the bridge on which I stood.


Late Entry:
I try to be as disciplined as I can about grammar at work, not to mention always having the cleanest, most squared away uniform, and 'encouraging' others to do the same.
