Skintight Catsuit

[wagegoth]

Jester, I love it. Sounds like SF with sweaty weather and more booze.

LA is plastic. SF is weird. At the recent SF Marathon (not the Bay to Breakers, which is a party disguised as a run) there was a drink station staffed by people in devil costumes handing out beer, and more than one runner in full drag, with make-up and nails done.

I love this place. When I move to Canada, I'll have to move to Vancouver.

Queen West in Toronto is pretty cool, too. When I lived in Toronto I used to hang out there all the time, for shopping, getting my dreads and tattoos done, checking out the fetish and alternative nightclub scene.

It's weird though--on Saturday night it's normal to see middle aged men wearing nothing but a series of leather straps being lead around the streets by leashes. But go up or down a block and its all money and poseurs (traditional club scene). Queen West is like an oasis of cool in uptight corporate T dot.

(Yeah, I love a good pun. What of it?!)


Regarding your entire post Jester, you NEED to work for the Key West travel and tourist bureau. Or rather, THEY need YOU. Honestly, reading your post I almost booked a flight. Would have, if I had a dime to my name. You make it sound like so much FUN!!

hell i almost did too and i hate florida

oh and GK who said you have to shave your legs to wear a skirt (glaces down at her hairylegs and shurgs)

Where a guy voting on election day in a full court jester costume barely gets noticed.

That was you, wasn't it?

[Simply Amazed]

God if only such a thing exisited as the TMI Emergency Stop Cabinet. When activated it would release a high pitched tone that not only stops the person from speaking furthur but also erases all memory of the past 10 seconds.

Heh, had a TMI incident one time working in the emergency room. Had a rather large fellow ( I'm a rather large fellow myself and my thoughts were "damn, that's a rather large fellow ) come up to my desk. There was a huge line of people around and behind him.

When I asked him why he was there he proceeds to hike his shirt up andstarted to lower his pants.

I threw my hands up and said rather loudly "No sir! No need for that. I have EARS. Now, what brings you here today?"

Once the brain bleach took effect there were quite a few chuckles from the crowd and the guy seemed to get that stripping wasn't a good idea and proceeded to tell me about his horrible rash that you couldn't pay me to see.

Are you sure they weren't wearing leather Utilikilts?

[Kara]

Over the last 2 days I have seen 4 guys wearing leather miniskirts. Always at night and always around a 7/11.

Maybe they're in a Scottish biker gang.

Then I glanced back a few seconds later and I seriously had typed in "Asshat" for his last name instead.

*snicker* That's hilarious.

Please do not elaborate on the details of whatever routine structural maintenance is being performed on your south regional girl tunnels. Or indeed any other plans you have made for your cootie terminal station.

"South regional girl tunnles" and "cootie terminal station." I'm definitely going to remember those

SC: "Yeah I just bought a <Kara's company> phone and its been charging overnight. But its still not working."
Me: "Alright, have you tried calling <Kara's company>?"
SC: "No."
Me: "....."
SC: "....."

Ah, but let's find out what happens after the call. He calls up his local authorized dealer, they tell him to call a corporate store. He calls a corporate store, they tell him to dial customer care. He dials the 800 # for new activations, completely ignores the automated system telling him to press 3 for existing customers that have questions/need help with their existing account, gets transferred to customer care by sales, mutters something incomprehensible thanks to all the pork rinds he's eating when the voice-response system asks him what he needs, probably winds up somewhere that can't possibly help him like Financial Care or Consumer Credit, gets transferred to customer care, talks to someone in General customer care who tells him he needs a new battery/phone, is okay with that until he finds out he has to pay a small shipping fee (but no cost for the equipment), says he's tired of all the runaround and wants to cancel, then I get the call and he tells me that all he needed was help with his phone and no one he called, starting with the first asshole, wanted to help him and he's going to go to a company that knows how to take care of their customers.

Caller gave me his last name. I typed it in and went about my merry way in the script. Then I glanced back a few seconds later and I seriously had typed in "Asshat" for his last name instead. Thank God I double check everything when I take calls. Still, this is a bad sign. I'm mocking callers subconsciously now.

[Reyneth]

THAT is fantastic. And very true!

If I had a blog that is. lol

I've been to San Fran. Twice. Hate to tell you this, but KW has SF beat for The Weirdness Factor hands, feet, and other random limbs DOWN. Heck, I would even put Provincetown up against SF. Most of the Frisco Weirdness left years if not decades ago.

Just one fellow's opinion, mind you. As always, I reserve the right to completely, horribly, and 100% wrong.

That was you, wasn't it?

Me? In a jester costume, voting?

OF COURSE! Hell, I posted pictures of it here on CS.com! For a while one of those pictures was my avatar, for goodness sake!

[Gravekeeper]

See, as long as it stays in your fingers, it's fine. Your mouth is gonna need an extra filter now though...

One day it'll probably happen and that'll be the day I get fired. But don't worry I'll grab the audio before I leave. =p

I would just have to go up to them and talk to them! Yes, I'm a bit weird, but I would find that highly amusing.

In both cases they appeared to be rather happy couples, I didn't want to intrude.

Where men are men, and sometimes women as well. Where by and large, women are bi and large.

Hah. ^^

Were they something like this? They're urban kilts, sorta a fashion trend especially in the punk rock scene. I tend to see guys wearing them around here and there.

No no, I've seen the punk rock leather kilts here and there in Van. No, these were miniskirts in the "Oh god I can see your ballsack" length sense.

oh and GK who said you have to shave your legs to wear a skirt

Well if I'm going to be thrown in a miniskirt, I want to at least look pretty. When cross dressing victory is measured in how long you can get another man to stare at your ass until he realizes the cold terrible truth and his scrotum retracts into his abdomen like a turtle thats been poked with a stick.

Not that I would know of course...

Well in that case, when ever you feel the need to 'feel like a woman' give me a call, for all my butch ways im a wiz at the crossdressing and make up of men... ask my brother (muahahahaha he hates when i make him put on dresses) and im quiet hand with needle too for those needed ajustments!

[Gravekeeper]

My brain went 6 ways of abject terror when I hit that line. I'm not sure what you're referring too but thats ok because my imagination has already horrified me far beyond whatever the actual truth of that statement is. ><

Is there some special prize being given out for the person who lives in the weirdest spot? Is there a cash award I didn't know about?

This is about the third post in this thread where you've beaten us over the head with the fact that where you live is really weird. I think we got it about 3 posts ago!! Key West is weird.

I'm sure there are a lot of places that are filled with pretty weird people, and I doubt any particular city has the market cornered on weird, though.
People being what they are, weirdness knows no limits or geographical boundaries.

Let us Canadians have our Vancouver weirdness and be proud of it, damn it!!
