What, pray, is a doorag?

My hats are off to you all. I have 6 bins of red ready to press and the people that I ordered the pump rebuild kit from said they might ship it today. Ordered a week ago, now coming cross country. Ever try to rent a food grade pump?

"The beard, being a half-mask, should be forbidden by the police - It is, moreover, as a sexual symbol in the middle of the face, obscene: that is why it pleases women." - Arthur Schopenhauer

That's how I read it first, but I see it's just another hat. Rules for women are different, anyway. No men in hats at table.

Of course, in Schopenhauer's day he would have been about the only man in Europe clean-shaven. Curmudgeon.

I also have no idea what a doorag is. I know it's some kind of hairstyle, but that's it. Or does it involve some kind of head covering also?

you people don't know what a doorag is? and here i thought new york was the center of the world.

I googled it. Seems to be a sort of tea-cosy worn as a hat. I am sure Nero looks wonderful in it (hedging bets because she says she looks like Katie Holmes ).

I just googled it too. I knew what it was on sight - I just didn't know it was called a doo rag.

The tourists must leave them at home when they visit.

It's more of a Jersey thing.

Yes, we like to match them with our dungarees and anoraks.

In Seattle we match them with our dungeness.

Doorag.

It's worn at night usually, although I've seen men wearing it during the day. keeps the hair smooth and even looking, prevents knots and napping.

To which of his shmattes does this refer?

My annoyance? The NRA is trumpeting the defeat of the bill to raise the minimum wage as a "victory for the industry." Fuck you. Very much.

They say that's it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
So as long as we're together baby
You better show some respect for me
So if you wanna doo rag all day woman
You gotta be a doo rag all night man

What idiot really thinks that painfully bad muzak and women who sound like their talking to 2 year olds as they tell you that your call will be answered as soon as possible is relaxing? It makes me grind my teeth. Really, how hard is it to put something like the Brandenburg concertos on a loop?

well now I'm on hold with a british help desk. At least the people are much politer and more understandable, but instead of hold music I just have a beep that repeats about every 4 seconds. It's better than muzak, but after 2 minutes of this I think I am experience some sort of cult mind control type of experiment.

Snap. I have to call a British help desk now. Hope I don't get the guy I had yesterday - ugly nasal South London accent.

In other news, I don't suppose my windows are going to blow in, but it is sufficiently annoying that it sounds like they are.

That's funny. I immediatly go to If a picture paints a thousand words....

What an ugly voice!

Now, everybody, shout it out!

"I would give eeeverything I own....."

The E train. This morning, specifically. Although it also generally sucks.

My parents are away so my brothers are house sitting the Cho home. I made plans to visit them this weekend to have some human and dog sibling time together. I was quite excited about this because it's a chance to relax and lay around the house wearing fat pants and eating/cooking whatever I like.

Unfortunately things have changed and now I'm having a "serenity now" moment because I found out that my brother's gf who NEVER shuts up will be staying with us this weekend too, and that I have to drive her to and from NY this weekend. So not only will I have to take her picky eating habits into account this weekend, but I will probably have to listen to her yap for hours on end. If I know what's good for me I'll spend as much time as possible at my grandparents place despite their neurotic poodle barking at me the entire time because at least I won't have to talk back to it.
