Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Recently, I have gotten some flak for my choice to own and wear a shiny red polyester shirt with dragons on it. According to many, such attire is not fashionable for self-respecting individuals. Exhibits A, B, and C (thelast2 I've never shown before and just have to): Well, I am happy to say that my detractors were wrong. I had refrained from wearing the shirt for a while, but now, thanks to Samoa Joe, I can feel secure in my shirt choice once again: And if you disagree, he will choke you the fuck out. EDIT: Of note, I also own that same necklace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Occasionally. Right now I'm wearing bluejeans, a Grateful Dead T-Shirt, and a suit jacket. Aka I'm dressed like a mess, but all I did today was watch football and play Guitar Hero with friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 He's a big samoan wrestler with coolness alongside hot chicks which allows him to pull it off, he isn't a skinny white dork standing in line to meet a wrestler/dance show star or photo op with generic stank model.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 That dude just looks like Matt Young after he gets an Associate's in marketing and spends 12 years working as a car salesman and going to the beach on Thursdays, which are the only days he'll get off. He's celebrating a promotion to assistant floor manager (that's the only round he's ever bought), and he's wearing that shirt because he got it with his first paycheck so many years ago, after selling a Taurus with the odometer rolled back under 50,000 miles from 120,000 to a 19 year-old kid who reminded him of himself, before the idealism faded. Matt pulls the trigger with his toe two years after this picture is taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can offer real-world insight, as opposed to the convoluted stresses of academia. It's coming much better now. It's actually about that book I jizzed over this summer on the Super Secret Club For Jerks, Ian McEwan's Saturday, which is about a day in the life of a London brain surgeon on the day of anti-war in Iraq rally in '03. Crazy shit goes down when he gets in a car accident with a twitchy, mentally deficient thug, and his work comes home, so to speak. Chapter I: Mrs. Dalloway as an intertext for Saturday Chapter II: Saturday and the contemporary sublime So it's pretty much convoluted academia, but now convoluted academia with which I'm actually reasonably comfortable. I'll probably have to wait until mid-February to get that wrathful again. Also, on this thread, the photos of this Joe guy don't impress me terribly. 2GOLD's assessment is right on.
