Oh man, that is just so cool. Do you still have a Humbolt County t-shirt from the 70s? You know, like the ones with the faded looking material and dark collars? I think it would be so cool to have an authentic vintage Humbolt County t-shirt from the 70s. If I had one, I would wear it while riding my fixie to my favorite independent coffee roaster where I would read my favorite South American author. That would be so cool. |
Humboldt, with a d. And you're off by a decade. Humboldt County wasn't cool in the 70s. I was going to forestry school and the place was going through the somewhat difficult transition between loggers and hippies/lesbians/pot growers. It was an interesting place to be then. That fixie/coffee shit didn't exist then.
I did wear flannel shirts, but that was before grunge made that cool.
And as long as you don't have snow you should read Fup.
And this:

The 70s was when Humboldt closed its nuke; as far back as the 50s Humboldt County was involved in anti-nuke activism.
The Masshole seems to suffer a strange and misplaced ressentiment, which perhaps he would be good enough to coherently explain. |

GUFFAW!!!
Nicely done. Nicely done.
The only book I'm wanting right about now is one on snow dances that work. Single book. Feh. Like recommending a single ski or a single drink. Can't be done. Shouldn't be done. I would prefer a thread that it is worthless without pictures.

What da ya mean it can't be done? Lots of people just did it! Not everyone is playing by those rules anyway and it doesn't really matter. That you find this thread worthless and yet keep posting in it WITH PICTURES confounds me.
Anyway back on topic, here's another one: Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coutzee |

My cat celebrated today by finally getting her claws into a few books from a complete set of illustrated Dickens that were handed down from my dad to myself. Books are circa 1900 that he got passed on to him. Stoopid cat. Gotta keep that room under lock and key. |

Not pretentious. Just practical. And many sections can be read over and over again without boredom.
