I started seeing these in the lineup. I avoided them at first. Then I noticed "foamy". Could they be related to an infrequent visitor, somehow? I didn't think so. Only one way to be sure. Nope. But a few reminded me of my early years, my mom, and... So, I decided to present a few.
I don't remember all, but when my mother was in for back surgery, I... was probably a pest. Especially with her initial allergic reaction to the pain pills. She was tripping balls, in the worst way, and I was a smaller me, even then. Tripping balls really bad meets tripping balls to the e.
After she was released, she had to recover mind, memory, and more. I helped?
Ah, but I sure liked some of her friends.
Anyway, good night.
My favorite Foamy episode is still:

Because of my love for both music and record stores, and my feelings towards "hipsters" (an opinion shared by my son).
And, if I ever owned my own little retail shop, I would so want that cash register.
Should have known you'd already be a fan, or at least aware.
ReplyDeleteAs to hipsters, lack of proximity, on my part, means indifference. I think the locals foolishly see me as one. Philistines! Which was, and initially, a perjorative against Jews, considered hicks of their earlier days, in Israel, if rightly so... if, beyond, nothing to be ashamed of as sophistication and "civilization" are more commonly actually evils of the worst sorts. /rant Though, in this case, is a failing of that nature.
I did know a... near hipster. Too considered, and with too good of ears... when I knew him. He tried for theoretical physics. He didn't fail, the programs now are socially based. If you aren't in... deepstate hipster, hard left... you don't get shared the quiz and test answers, nor are you told what to ask and answer in your thesis or whatnot, and how.
I think he has slid as far into hipsterville as an actually curious, conscious, intelligent, skeptical, near male can. He, mostly, just surrendered to the seemingly inescapable realities of his gen. I helped him dump plans on an empty doctorate (in applied physics... yes, empty). I helped him doubt the sewage that is modern feminism, I brought him to question... everything.
I think he still does. But he realizes his gen is socially, not meritoriously, aligned. They want bricks in a wall. Wealth victomhood, and station trump intellectual capacity, or women wouldn't represent half of physics theory grads. Surrendered, he did. But! He does know better... now. Once the truth is seen, it can't be denied without worse than lip-service denial. It's a type of living death.
