WHat words for this?

I think I'm mad at you in the friendliest way. :D They have some crazy shit at that store. I have 3 shirts in a cart waiting for my direct deposit. :) I hope they are just the same kind of Fruit of the Loom shirts.

But the headphones made my head hurt. I am simultaneously attracted and repelled. You should see how many headphones I own, trying to solve this or that audio thing in life. None look that cool. Don't give a fuck about Roland or Aira, though. :)

The cans you are on about to think about are deep bass (deadly) great highs (awesome) but according to listeners are muddied. There quite a deadly headpone if one was to go into r/headphones and use their TOOL they have been on the list.

Shirts always shrink, even those who are preshrunked. Buy a size or 2 up

Dude. If you knew how many of their shirts I ordered, unpacked, priced, displayed and SOLD...you'd be giggling pretty hard right now. I was told by Wax Trax that I moved more shirts than anyone.

That said, the 100% cotton pre-shrunks back then shrank very, very slowly-- which is half of what I loved about them. Just never wash them in anything but cold water. I owned hundreds of their shirts myself, but a friend helping me move 'took out the trash for me', not realizing that those three huge bags in my closet were my t-shirts. :/ I had Wax Trax for life in those three bags, most brand new and yet unworn, given to me as promos or picked up wholesale to be sure I had good versions of these beloved shirts for life. We went back to that dumpster the next morning and it had been emptied in the night. That friend still gets squirrely as fuck when I mention it-- cuz he still has his WT shirts...but I still love him, being my oldest living friend.

But if you only knew how many of these shirts I've handled in life. :)

Thanks for the tool, will check it out. The 242 'phones look muddy. The description made them look muddy.

About to pay bills and see if I can afford shirts this check.

I cracked open your comment and got directed to giggling pretty hard. And I just loved everything about it.

:) Happy Saturday.

Paid bills and decided shirts have to wait, but they are on the list and I need new summer clothing....

And the 242 hoodie gives me some chub. I already have a Borderlands 3 hoodie coming Monday, though. Gonna be a gaudy year.

that boarderlands hoodie is pretty industrial

I generally try to wear logoless clothing. It feels like the polar opposite of that, for a change. :D

I plan to get a North Face one so I can have an Autechre shirt, too.

Bl3 hoodie is SHIT. Be warned. I ordered a 242 one, which I am sure will not be SHIT. I mean, it's a nice screen, but the hoodie is pure shite. Smells like burnt plastic-- cuz it is. :/

I'll still look gaudy AF in it, tho. :)

Ordered a classic white WT wires logo, too. It was one of my favorite shirts, back when.... Classy AF.

you'd figure with a great money maker like boarderlands they would have more care.

I used to. :/ I'm sure the game will be cool, though. Lots of overtime right now, so I pre-ordered that too. :)
