the birth and death of a stupid idea in 10 minutes.

YAY SEAN HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!
aerinly
(3:57:25 PM):
i like to compare quality of life if you're poor now vs. if you were poor in say 1905
aerinly (3:57:32 PM): like, all the chemicals in the cheap food!
aerinly (3:57:44 PM): in 1905, you would eat a potato and be happy
aerinly (3:57:54 PM): and not get prostate cancer from it
aerinly (3:58:13 PM): maybe 19th century would be better
aerinly (3:58:39 PM): i was going to do this diet where i only consumed things that were available to people up until 1900
aerinly (3:58:48 PM): but then i learned that there was already all this shit out there
aerinly (3:58:53 PM): so i need to go earlier.
aerinly (3:58:57 PM): do you want to do it?
aerinly (3:59:25 PM): it can be global; anything that was available to the world before 1850.
Super Nuge (4:00:21 PM): i came to new york to eat cheap processed food
Super Nuge (4:00:42 PM): even the medicis couldn't get pizza at 3am with garlic knots
aerinly (4:01:12 PM): fine, have your heart attack
aerinly (4:01:22 PM): see who's there scraping your cheese face off the pavement
Super Nuge (4:01:49 PM): well i think you should have to adhere to the medicine of the era too
aerinly (4:01:52 PM): and hauling you to st. vincent's where your red blood cells have been replaced with MSG and styrofoam.
Super Nuge (4:02:25 PM): so have fun getting gout and polio
aerinly (4:03:50 PM): we'll see who lasts the year
Super Nuge (4:05:11 PM): i'm going to live off a diet of free wine and falafel actually
aerinly (4:06:03 PM): oh shit.. you already won
aerinly (4:06:10 PM): that's good cause i don't cook
Super Nuge (4:06:27 PM): i find that surprising that you don't cook
aerinly (4:06:30 PM): and i just remembered that stuff didn't come pre-packaged.
Super Nuge (4:06:33 PM): its the one thing you don't do
aerinly (4:06:40 PM): i hope you're being sarcastic

(I don't really think anyone was "happy" to eat a potato in 1905 and I certainly know very little about how red blood cells would be replaced with styrofoam or how that is even relevant- Ed. note).

Oh yeah? Well, shit's OFF...THE...HOOK out here, you guys are missing all sorts of fun. Last night I went to Alex's Bar and stood in one place for three hours. Bet you guys wish you hadn't left, huh?

Why did you cut off the part of the conversation about how beautiful the weather was and the fact that Joanna Newsom was giving free massages to anyone sporting a moustache?

blue lanugo said...

Oh and also when you were sick they stuck leeches on you.

Isn't everyone that ate taters in 1905 dead?

Rita said...

actually Tor, my 110 year old great great grandfather Malachy O'Connell is still alive and kicking. he says he was very happy to eat potatoes...

Escher Dashiki said...

hahahha, why does it matter if anyone that ate potatoes in 1905 is still alive???
This post has taken a turn for the strange...
Tom- get your fucking ass out here for the goddamn last time!

Rita said...

pappy o'connell thinks it matters!

Leviathan Bruddas said...

what is this pappy o'connell thing? it's freaking me out.

Escher Dashiki said...

ha, Rita, Leviathan Brudda is an O'Connell (but he's half oriental). He lives above a liquor store on 1st ave, the same one he works in. GREATEST commute in the city!

Sean- What's the rent on your couch 3 nights a week for one hour each session?

MOTH BALLZ.

Rita said...

"oriental" erin? that's offensive to rugs everywhere. also, my great grandfathers name was actually milton dorsey and he's been dead since before i was born but i was trying to make a point and i didn't think his name was irish enough. i was also toying around with the name lochlann o'shea....
