I vote for Eric for Fashion Police! We need someone to let people know if what they're wearing is a fashion faux pas.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Hey, Mayor Shambala, how big of a jail do I get? Can I use the whole gypsum plant?

We can use a wing of the gypsum plant. All cells will have queen size beds!
That's what good Mayors do you know!

I just want to sit in the cafe and make remarks as cold and bitter as my coffee all fucking day.

Pretty much what I do in here, in fact.

Oh, honey. Try as you might you are such an undergrad in the Department of Bitterness. You need to belly up to the post-doc lounge.

When you feel up to it give me a call. I tutor.

Rates are reasonable.

I'd love to have you sit in my cafe fishy. although my coffee will never be bitter! and for you, coffee would be free! Plus you'd have your own booth/table/stool that you can snark and crank at! GREAT! A town character!!

Hmmm, which brings up the whole commerce/commodification issue... Though to be realistic we're going to have to be a commercial culture just to survive... No goods distributor is going to listen to some schpiel about a cashless gift economy....

Either way, busking should definitely be legal, even if you're just collecting swag and mini-bar liquor bottles in your guitar case.

well, I did volunteer to be the town stone cutter, although, village idiot might be more fitting.
And, in real life, I bear a striking resemblance to a famous deputy sheriff.
