She’s dating gay lumberjacks – there’s her problem in a nutshell.
Why does everyone hate on plaid shirts… i like plaid shirts and it seems a select few are ruining plaid shirts for everyone else and therefore me! Give me a name!! I’ll scare him so bad 3/4 of the plaid will run away and he’ll be left with a striped shirt!
I get more attention from ladies when I wear plaid shirts. But only in Halifax. It’s a thing here, I think.
oh give it a rest. cripes.
Hey, I’m wearing one now and heading to a bar! Maybe she’ll pick me up.
Here’s a little something for the OB.

I love my plaid shirts….they don’t make chicks come on to me tho, lol 😉
Is it possible that these people could be douchebags when they are not wearing plaid shirts and beards, or do you think it’s the plaid shirts and beards that ruin ’em?
Nature, not nurture.
And today’s Onion headline should have read:
“Nation Shocked – 20 Year Old Douche Was Once 14 Year Old Douche”
Typical modern woman, her brain says “no thanks” but, her vagina says “yes please”. Vagina wins, and all the guys she lets fuck her are douchebags cause SHE let them fuck her. Ain’t nobody givin up pussy if it’s thrown at them.
I like gay lumberjacks!
Oh, I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Paingirl,
I like that one. Awesome.
OB: Just wear a plaid shirt and treat her like shit while pounding back pitchers. She’ll be all over you.
Painey – F.T.W. ♥
OB, I believe it was Einstein , who said. ” doing the same thing over & over , & expecting different results is a form of insanity”
I may have credited the wrong person for that. But the quotes an accurate view IMO.
It was Einstein.
People are idiots most of the time. It’s easier to accept this at a young age. Ignore the idiots, and surround yourself with the rest.
Ho!s – you know the type. They’re always chasing trends.

my plaid shirt seems to have worked last night…hmmm.
We’re all happy for you Jhey.
Now, go do the fuckin’ dishes.
*The above line works best if you say it like Billy Batts in “Goodfellas”*
Plaid shirts are a thing only here!
There’s no variety offered at stores except for the freaking plaid variety!.. For years now!
Those douchebags you speak of are the same douchebags who didn’t wear plaid and beards 3 or 4 years ago before they somehow became fashionable only in Halifax!
Jhey: Congratulations on reducing yourself down to an article of clothing. Guess you can cross that one off your bucket list.
Now, go do the fuckin’ dishes like a man with healthy self esteem ya putz.
Stage Whisper
You mean elevating myself? Lol. I always do my own dishes, and can cook like a Frenchman! Recently restored a pre-WWII french cleaver – should buy me some big meat to cleave and feast like a king.
I only bought the damn plaid shirt for dirty work. Comes in handy, and I enjoy discovering the magical properties of plaid shirts around here.
What is this post about again? Are we ranting about hipsters again cause I’m a hipster today.
Haz, I beat you to it. LOL.
“Recently restored a pre-WWII french cleaver”
Couldn’t have needed much restoration. Like most french weapons – never been used and only dropped once.
Ba-Dum Bum Tsssshhhhhhh.
Sorry, an oldie but a goodie. Couldn’t resist.
Your passion for carbon steel shows much shibumi
Considering that the French are known for their COOKING (and love making?). Cleavers are for meat, not war. The carbon runs strong in me!
And I just bought another plaid shirt. I can’t wait to discover its mystical powers of persuasion.
Didn’t Clausewitz say “War is cooking by other means”?
Perhaps I haz a confused.
Juan, you know Italian tanks had nine gears, eight for reverse and one for forward in case the got attacked from the rear.
Einstein’s definition of insanity was repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different result each time.
So every time i run out of beer and check the fridge for more 3 times I must be off my rocker.
Daniel,
You’re just an optimist.
My plaid shirt failed me last night. The damn thing had no powers of persuasion. On a good note, I scored some old tools today to restore.
No more plaid shirts! The experiment is over.
Were you wearing the shirt when you scored the tools?
Rather than abandon this course of research perhaps you should broaden the parameters by which you define success.
Ivan,
Indeed, I was. The depth and complexity of plaid shirts is fascinating. Now to grow the beard, and the transformation is complete!
The thing with vintage tools though is that they don’t get fooled easily. They are straight up, no bullshit.
Yes you did Bro Tim… yes you did…. if this were real life we’d be enemies now, you and I…. *gives him the evil eye* but since it isn’t, it’s all good… you have good taste in comedy by the way.
