    I got new socks.

    The Sebastian dude is witty but it's hard to take advise on whoring from a man who paints his nails red. I mean, if he was a real man, he'd paint them black.

        I tried to read dandy in the underworld, on the recommendation of another SZer (who I think got it from you, snafu)
        I have rarely read such inane drivel, I hated it so much I think I threw it in the garbage, which I almost never do with books. I guess that means I'm not sexy or something according to his worldview. thank god for that

          I think he was a character you either loved or hated.
          He never proclaimed he was an artist or a writer "because i'm no good".
          He never did anything to make money or critical success from my perspective it was all pretty much self indulgence.

          Maybe he is too English for you ;) , but saying that another french member on here very much liked it.
          .

            I think I can stomach a fair dose of englishness, but I can't find it in myself to have a soft spot for wankers. I mean, I don't mind that he exists, I can even stomach a short video, but waste time reading a whole book? I don't have the time. also it was very poorly written, too overwrought.

                i'd totally agree it builds your self-respect to solve problems yourself, so yeah, duct tape is seriously one of the best things i own, and my toolbox is another.

                but i second that about the rifle. it might actually be very effective for those problems i can't fix with the tape or the toolbox.

                  et cetera

                  BUT, again, in a well-written, humorous way that I found very enjoyable to read. buzzfeed lists are crap, this is fun. maybe there’s an english version already; the book launched in 2007.

                    These kinds of lists are embarassing. I cringe when i see all this shit about using straight razers and owning some heritage workboots.
