oh, totally. Some of the most interesting and exotic people I ever met were the bohemian drunks of London's Soho. If one of them decided to be disgustingly rude to you, it meant that you'd been (grudgingly) accepted amongst their company. Probably one of the few places on the planet where one would grin inwardly as someone told you to 'f*** off, you boring c***!!'  
I miss them thar days.... |

"I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!
I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelope. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I've got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!
I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up, you can’t dumb me down because I’m tireless and I’m wireless, I’m an alpha male on beta-blockers.
I’m a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built-to-last! I’m a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pretty maturely post-traumatic and I’ve got a love-child that sends me hate mail.
But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing-- a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.
I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore--no soft - potential abuse -.
I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical miracle. I’ve been pre-washed, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband capacity.
I’m a rude dude, but I’m the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I’ve got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don’t snooze, so I don’t lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I’m hangin in, there ain’t no doubt and I’m hangin tough, over and out !" |

Just figuring out where people stand on very important issues regarding design, the future, planet, no big deal, don't worry.
How 'bout that zennith event scenario? Theory? Do I get a Noble Prize?
like blowing a bubble, and then popping it. eh, probally already thought of, but it might explain gravity. Whoops, I'm thinking out loud again. 
String theory.
Science is cool. It's all cool |
Eureka ! Maybe if you blow enough bubbles, you will have proved a point. |

George Carlin Talks About "Stuff"
The meaning of life hey? "Trying to find a place for your stuff".
Ya, I got a lot of schtuff am trying to figure out where to put it ya.
"A pile of stuff with a cover on it"
"Everyone got's their own pile of schtuff".
I guess the supply lines are really getting harder to maintain, with so much schtuff going around.....
So tell me, is this what this George Carlin all about ? --->> "is there more rape at the equator or at the North Pole?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3av_qRR_DWc&NR=1
Come on man, what type of freaky humor is this?
Some people are stupid, ya, right. Don't have to go very far in these videos to see that.
Got another good one for us ?
Take care ya, be careful with your stuff. Someone might want it too.
Have a nice day. Am make sure you have a good one before ya get where it's pretty hot. |

Bwwwwwaaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa
You can't handle Carl Sagan quote's either.
Like this one:
"Stupid is as stupid does"
Ohhh, that's another form following function, and I might add, on topic.
I'm want to be a shrimp boat captain.

Hey, guess what - was just thinking that. Stupid jokes follow stupid thinking. Eureka. We are on to something. The form of the jokes follows the function of the thinking. Or is it the function of the thinking follows into the form of the jokes? It is as you said, "stupid is as stupid does". I guess we have just dis-proved FFF. Or is that the big F word follows the "F" mind, which functions to "F" everything. We have now three F's all in one! Or is it the Freaken F mind produces it's own F function. F mind = F function = F form. We now have a rule of thumb.
Hey Captain Hook, I hope you bring home a lot of shrimp with you in your boat. And make sure they are nice and fried before you serve 'em. Don't even need to add any oil in the frying pan down there.... just some "rock and roll", a little "soul" and you have a pretty hot bunch in your ship.
Avoir un beau jour. |

I discovered a prime example of Function following Form: the O2 Center in the UK: adaptive re-use at its finest!
