If FL and ogged ever meet, inevitably they will have chosen, independently and by cruel chance, to wear the same shirt. I am conditonally future-perfectly embarrassed for the both of you.
Official Shirt of Unfogged Commenters, Female
Ah, the cult of Hipster-Doofus; I remember it well.
SB: Ogged only ever wears that shirt (in black), so Fontana can decide whether or not to embarass the both of them.
The North Face brand is a major inspiration for urban petty crime.
The North Face brand is the official brand of Unfogged.
Therefore Unfogged is a major inspiration for urban petty crime. What do I get for teasing out your implication?
The North Face brand is a major inspiration for urban petty crime.
Is this true? Like expensive sneakers?
Only officially. Unofficially Unfogged is involved in several outreach programs.
It always wierds me out when w-lfs-n's intentionally funny.
but have you adopted the official superhere underwear yet, labs?
Urban petty crime: yup.
During the last few years, police have reported scores of robberies and thefts involving North Face jackets, which cost about $200 but can be more expensive.
Yeah, there are always reports about kids boosting North Face. At least around here. It was Jordans when I was a kid.
"Superhere" underwear is underwear that has the superpower of being able to transport itself back to wherever this very sentence is uttered. Unfortunately they haven't figured out how to transport the wearer along with it. Or fortunately, depending on who was wearing it.
Therefore Unfogged is a major inspiration for urban petty crime. What do I get for teasing out your implication?
Nothing—you got it wrong. Unfogged are petty urban criminals, obv.
Some people, like Kriston, say "obv". Others, like Alameida, say "obvs". Someone should pay me to tease out the implications (for implications always want teasing out) sociological and linguistic of s-full versus s-less "obv".
My thought was that "superhere" underwear had a certain Heideggerian thrownness about them.
Unfortunately, Ben, the free market provides for competition in every endeavor, and the competition on price is such that I'm willing to do it for free. The sociological and and linguistic implications of this phenomenon are as follows: Who cares?
Pwn.
A super-spy is deep under cover, so deep he's about to covert some hot, hot ops with the wife of his arch-nemesis. There's just one problem – what if she finds the name printed indelibly on the label of his undies?
He doesn't panic. He knows what to do.
"'Superhere' underwear is underwear that has the superpower of being able to transport itself back to wherever this very sentence is uttered", he utters – and his erstwhile briefs of betrayal are gone in flash.
I am stupid. Someone else can point out why.
No, no. I think it's obvious, don't you?
I do very much like "erstwhile briefs of betrayal," though.
The super-spy just needs a friend, maybe a co-blogger, to utter the sentence at the appropriate time. But we don't know whether the superhere underwear only answers to its rightful owner, or to anyone.
The underwear will indeed serve two masters. However, the two of them must "prime" the underwear by simultaneously inserting two legs, one from each person.
This fantasy now disturbs me. Back to tighty-whities!
I've been trying to work up the mechanics of either
a) The super-spy has already uttered the appropriate phrase in the past, and merely willing that this be the moment for his underwear to loop back in time causes it to happen.
b) The super-spy, after deftly extracting himself from his arch-memesis' clutches in his subterannean torure chamber (perhaps cunningly concealed in an old Mineshaft), utters the magic phrase, instantly changing history, causing a paradox that destroy the universe.
doesn't that shirt make FL too hip to teach in the classroom? it seems there's a firm law against philosophy professors and fashion, however questionable.
You know, I think 18 demonstrates that we're looking at a case that continental philosophy handles better than analytic philosophy does. Anyway, I sort of had in mind that each particular piece of superhere underwear corresponds to one particular tokening of the sentence--so the first piece to be manufactured will, on an activation signal unknown, find itself in the East branch of the Milwaukee Public Library. For instance.
I actually would have thought that wearing superhere underwear would confer on the wearer protection from teleportation.
Deep front zip neck for ventilation during areorbic activity or warmer days
Or for showing off Labs' festoon of chest hair.
Oh my God, "areorbic" is in the original. That is awesome.
Areorbic activity, that's breastfeeding, right?
Areorbic activity refers to the lumpenproletariat's uprising.
I'd say 18 and 30 are not incompatible with one another.
Maybe superhere underwear prevents fallenness.
I am not certain that that is the term I want.
The term I want is "ropa vieja".
Or for showing off Labs' festoon of chest hair.
Wouldn't that be "superhairy" underwear?
I am so glad that a simple typo can create so much fun. But superhairy? Urgh.
And with that, I'm boarding a plane. Which means I'll be super-not-here.
I'm only putting this here so that the link to 39 actually goes to 39.
