As long as it's not something about tattoos.

Tattoos (as worn nowadays, even by grannies and toddlers) play their own unique but related part in western decline.

Anything about the Kiel mutiny anniversary?

She didn't even comment on the PD expulsion from firebox for its radical commemoration - again.

 

[rekil]

Ah no.

 

[U N Arrator]

Do your trousers not have any colour then? Don't tell me, you wear white linen ones.

Coloured as in rust-orange, green or red is what I meant.

 

[TruXta]

Just a nose piercing and a silly hat.

I know. /off to kill myself.

Tranlation: 'I (TruXta) have my hair going in all different directions and wear coloured jeans with a twisted baggy arse and drainpipe legs.'

translation: 'i (lletsa) cut my hair with one of those comb/razor contraptions i bought out of the paper and wear beige grandad trousers with an elasticated waist.'

You wear red trousers? Off with your prick.

I've got a nose piercing too, but use a more discreet stud these days.

If I need discretion I just remove it all together. It comes off quite easily, also a plus when playing footie.

At least delroy's cockman is off the page.

I actually look about 29, but like 29 year-olds used to before people became clones of media clones.

Not me, you fool-you.

 

[TruXta]

Not me, you fool-you.

In that case the answer is no. My trousers are generally blue or black.

 

[butchersapron]

Why?

knee breeches and a macaroni hat?

 

[DotCommunist]

I think the thing up the gentlemns rusty sherriffs badge is called a drilldo.

 

[TruXta]

Why?

I dunno. I just don't feel right in blue or green trousers. I've had the odd brown ones. Why? Don't tell me you're a white linen man.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

I've got little ball stud thing on a wire. Wear it all the time and looks good (the other Hurrah likes it anyway). Didn't want something too big like I used to wear.

LLETSA will disagree.

It appears to come with a lletsa attachment.

Isn't it inevitable, in a time of working class defeat, that people become obsessed with apolitical cultural markers, like personal appearance and trouser colour? Given that there's no clear-cut political alternative it's hardly surprising.

Is this what people looked like round your way before they became clones of media clones? No wonder you say you speak like somebody from four hundred years ago.

This is political as it gets. Can you imagine a revolution led by people with their hair going in different directions and their trouser arses facing the wrong way?

Isn't it inevitable, given the modern mass-produced clothing industry, that at many revolutionaries will end up looking like freaks, or fashion victims?

What's the correct workers' attire look like these days then?

 

[butchersapron]

Dear Americans: I understand why some of you don't want to vote. But on behalf of those to whom the outcome matters who can't, please do.

All amercians vote Obama. All Americans that this journo has ever met anyway. The outcome is both key and irrelevant in this post. At least there's no demand to vote lib-dem this time.

pre beau brummell, yeh. or was the media invented ten years ago?

That's because the revolutionaries don't realise they've been bought and repackaged by capitalism.

 

[TruXta]

Keep up

Phwoar.
