Sidecars & Bowler Hats, a shift in Shoe Shining, & the NFL goes for Pokes

ONCE UPON A TIME: London, 1900.

(thank you)

SHOEGOALS: Looks like it is time to update the passport. There are many reasons to visit Italy. Thanks to regular Dossier contributor Eric H, we now have one more. You gunning for me Eric? I got my eye parts on you.

AT FIRST I WAS ALL…I totally want to know and then all of a sudden I was barfing up bar snacks..

THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING’: This is not even close to surprising.

NIGHTMARE FUEL: Shudders. Rewinds. Shudders. Rewind. Shudders. Repeat.

TOTALY METAL:

(thank you)

SPEAKING OF THE ROCK AND ROLL: This is just the latest bad news for a band that has had its share of it lately. Might be time to call it a day? Editor’s Note: Damn. All the best to Brian Johnson and his ears. This is pre Mr. Johnson of course (Bon!), but here’s one spectacular way to spend 90 minutes if you’re a fan of riffs, sweat, and riff raff.

RESPECT: Bad. Ass. Also, that is impressive.

LIGHTNING ROUND: Two out of three ain’t bad. South Africa has some effed up road hazards. Just when I think I’ve lost faith in humanity, I’m reminded that there are some very inspirational people in this world. And I can think of one dude who is lucky his pal wasn’t carrying, because America.

\^^/

(this is mine)

AS IF THIS SUNDAY DOESN’T SUCK ENOUGH: This. Remind me, why do we do this still?

IT’S COMPLICATED: Yes, there is a reason why you might need these, but there is no reason to ever, ever use these in a situation that involves a line of people. I will cut you.

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY: This is not your grandfather’s corporate mindset.

AND THIS IS WHY…we don’t get better. Or something. But really. This is an eye opener.

NAILED IT!

(thank you)

WHAT IS A TEN LETTER WORD FOR STEALING? The drama level in this story is through the roof considering the context which makes it so dang juicy.

PERSPECTIVE: Because sometimes it is really satisfying to bask in the glory of other people’s poor decisions. Like this creative artist over here. Or Generalissimo Dumb Ass over here.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Not gonna lie. Part of this kills me just a little.

INCOMING!
