Weekend Flashback


Wood, hemp, chunks of metal and a rusty spring. Boy, I bet that makes a beautiful sound. There’s nothing like laying in bed on a summer night, listening to a bunch of shit banging around in a tree. If I wanted to hear bottle caps and car keys all night, I’d sleep in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.

    How can glass be “disgruntled”? Did it get laid off from its job as a bong, or what?

      If you were part of that fuckery, wouldn’t you be disgruntled?

          I’ve always wished to see something described as ‘gruntled,’ just once.

      I was wondering that myself… Regular glass is hard enough to work with, much less disgruntled.

      Disgruntled is to Upcycled at Etsy as distressed is to Shabby Chic at Target.

      I think they meant “distressed,” but it works out pretty much the same.

      (A bong at least has a wind-chime sound in its NAME; -this assortment of couch-lint probably goes:”clank-thud-Ting”

        I don’t know about you, but my windchimes go “Ting.”

        They also go “Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-ptang-zoom-fang-zowwwwzee,” but that’s another tale for another time.

    I Googled “disgruntled glass” on the off chance that it was something I didn’t know about but should. It wasn’t, but I did find this — it’s disgruntled and IN a glass. And maybe drinking it will take this macrame nightmare right out of my mind.

    Disgruntled Elf recipe
    serve in Highball Glass

    1 oz white rum
    1 oz triple sec
    1 oz gold tequila
    1 oz gin
    2 oz sour apple mix
    6 oz lemon-lime soda

    Pour in rum, triple sec, tequila, gin, and sour apple martini mix. Then fill with lemon-lime soda (ex: Sprite, 7Up, Slice, Sierra Mist, etc.)
