Speaking of curtains, I was at Bed, Bath & Beyond the other day and found a waste paper basket that looks like an exact twin of the headpiece your avatar is wearing. Is this a common pattern in commerce or just serendipitous happenstance?

Hire a hooker & pay her to listen. Get the satisfaction of kicking her out without sex when you're done. It's kind of like Burning the Temple.

If you clean thoroughly when you're done it doesn't matter. And why would you use light? That stuff is nasty.

Re: Ask Eric
A scathing review on Yelp is a badge of honor - they're usually so over the top they cross into comedy. Use the best lines in your advertising, in your sig-line, in marketing campaigns (not kidding, I know clubs that do this & it's brilliant).
Nothing pisses off an asshole more than you laughing at them, because they want to make you angry. You get angry, they win. You laugh, you win.

Re: Ask Eric
Dear Eric,
Having been mostly absent from eplaya for a while find that many of the posts and threads seem to be the same as when i was least a regular on here. can you suggest any good threads that are new and worth a read (maybe even a comment)?
I am particularly looking for infomation on things to look for and not actually find on playa this year, in my previous years i have succesfully not found You, Trilos camp and daft punk. I have it on good authority that infected mushroom will be there this year for to not find but it would be really good to not find some Big art and possibly a bar or 2.

Hey Eric,
When Schrödinger came up with his thought experiment, why do you think he chose a cat and not, say, a sloth?
I mean, a cat has 9 lives whereas a sloth has 1 life. Wouldn't a cat skew the experiment's results????
