This place is definitely different. There’s no interaction, and that’s what I liked. A lot of the people who were here when I showed up a few months ago seem to have left. It feels abandoned, to some degree.
I’ve got no problem with Che or the content, I guess, it’s just that he doesn’t interact so it feels like a robot is posting stuff. Plus, it’s just not as active as it used to be.
It makes me feel bad, really, that I didn’t start to comment or get involved until around the time Helen handed things over to Che. I admired (and still admire) the community (from afar. I lurked here for at least a year before I joined) and giggled while making weird faces at some beautiful whimsicle fuckery, and marveled the amazing things this community of fat, jealous, and occasionally drunk losers does for equally amazing people in need. I really would love for Che to get involved and interact with us.
I think a lot of the wittier posters don’t hang around so much. Not so many funny comments as before. People seem to like to be mean rather than clever. I miss clever personally.
You know, quite frankly, I think it might be quite nice to be as innocent and clean-minded as the people who can look at those things and honestly NOT see a dick.
Unbelievably, it took about 3 seconds for me to figure out why the pearl was on Regretsy. So I’m not an absolute perv! But now I’m worrying if I have AD
Colon cleanse, tons of “long term storage” freeze dried food, spider-embedded-in-plastic jewelry, and rusted pipe decor. Ready for Armageddon, I guess?
My college dorm bathrooms had pipes like that to hold toilet paper. It was mounted below waist height so it looked like a creepy rusty painted steel penis coming through a hole in the wall.

Ebay always gets the good stuff. Never Etsy.
January 15, 2013 at 1:13 pm
It’s a good look if you own it though. You can’t let fashion accessories intimidate you.
January 15, 2013 at 2:06 pm
The seller doesn’t specify the size – I bet they’re less impressive in real ilfe.
January 15, 2013 at 5:30 pm
From the listing:
THE PEARL MEASURES 7/8″ TOTAL PENDANT MEASURES JUST UNDER 1.25″
Geez, it’s almost a whole inch! That’s not impressive?

For $58 those “tie-backs” better come with a tetanus shot.
As for you, Mr. Penis Pearl Necklace, well I’m not even going near you until they invent a gonorrhea shot.
Shipping is extra!!

How do you “hand-make” radiator pipe?
January 15, 2013 at 1:29 pm
You’re just confused. It’s the rusty patina that’s handmade!
Or maybe I’m confused…and that’s what makes it vintage??
January 15, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Steampunk.
January 15, 2013 at 1:34 pm
Steampipe. They were close.
January 15, 2013 at 8:40 pm
Radiator? I never even met ‘er!

rust stains on the drapes. how Hobo wedding chic.

Somewhere out there is an unfortunate oyster who wants to have a word with someone.
I’m glad it’s not me.

Just being honest, anonymous downthumber.
January 15, 2013 at 4:52 pm
Ehh, I thumbed you back up.
Some things have to stay the same.
January 15, 2013 at 8:28 pm
Just knowing Helen was watching, calculating, pondering the right moment to bust chops, really shored up my insecurity.
January 16, 2013 at 6:57 am
*sigh*
I don’t even feel like getting a room now.
January 16, 2013 at 9:34 am
I’m just gonna get a big bag of chips and crawl inside it. *double-sigh*
January 16, 2013 at 11:17 am
Scoot over! I’m joining you.
*3xsigh*
January 15, 2013 at 2:00 pm
There’s still interaction, who else but Che would be thumbs downing you?
January 15, 2013 at 2:04 pm

As long as Matt & Zippy remain, I’ll keep coming back.
January 15, 2013 at 8:03 pm
Agreed

And Melagrana. And LeeLoo.

“People seem to like to be mean rather than clever.”
I guess this is the primary reason at least one person (hm… le moi) hasn’t been visiting as often as before.
January 15, 2013 at 10:31 pm
I’ll just leave this here.
January 15, 2013 at 2:09 pm
Well some of us came late to the party! I did show up with litre of rum and an enquiring mind, ‘tho.
January 15, 2013 at 9:35 pm
I am late also, but I have 2 bottles of wine.

When mother of pearl leads to the father of pearl necklaces
January 15, 2013 at 1:58 pm
NO NO NO
It’s a PEARL NECKLACE, earrings are just an incidental dependent on pressure & angle of application.
Kids today!

Ironically, it’s the second one that’ll stain your soft furnishings!
January 15, 2013 at 2:29 pm
The seller of the pearl-nis has the ebay name “oldcrapola”. Really.

sorry, but after goatse and this site, mind has been permanently corrupted. Some things just can’t be unseen.

Thoughts wandered before the second “D” ?
January 15, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Mmm I like it free form!

What decorating motif can incorporate rusty metal and not get the placed condemned by the local code enforcement officer?
January 15, 2013 at 9:14 pm
Rusted pipe’s store is worth a look. I’ve never seen such fuckery.

HOW DID YOU GET IN MY BEDROOM?!
January 15, 2013 at 10:46 pm
I’ve had a few pearl necklaces in my time but never one quite like that.
January 16, 2013 at 12:07 am
WHY DO YOU SHOW US THESE THINGS AFTER THEY’VE BEEN BOUGHT?
Now I’m heartbroken and putting the J in FJL.

“Tsk. Pee-neece. It’s posh for knob.”

How can a recycled Rusted Pipe be a
“A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging”?
