no pic/cam info but pretty fuckin sweet.

ah just found it
thanks Cale

they’re called garters… duh.

should all get in a bus and drive it off a cliff. ive had it with your stupid irony bullshit.

Don’t worry about the poor people that your country is killing half way round the planet, you guys like totally enjoy your awesome party. Geez, a shooter kills 30 at virginia tech and we aren’t lucky enough to get a shooter to walk in on this party…some things just don’t seem fair. But hey, have like a totally awesome time while people are being killed by the government that you wankers put into power. But hey, thats like totally okay, cause as long as you guys are having like such a totally awesome time, you totally don’t need to care.

I knew BYT was the reason we’re at war. I knew it.

jason, you never told us about your semi-bisexual public escapades. when did that happen?

don’t you remember the richmond IRL race?

“If you are not part of the solution, then are part of the problem.”

This sounds a lot like “if you’re not with us, you’re against us.” What’s up George Bush?

“But it doesn’t seem to me that someone who was against the war would be dancing around in their underwear…”

Since when/why/how…

1. does dancing around in one’s underwear = not anti (i.e. pro) war
2. are dancing around in one’s underwear and being anti war mutually exclusive
??!!

And unless I’ve accidentally clicked on brightestyoungthings’proandantiwareffortsandopinionsand lives.com, this website isn’t going to show me what the underwear party goers did with their day/life/work/personal time or where their affiliations lie…(and I highly doubt they spent that entire time buying underwear. Most people already have underwear, unless this was the first and only occasion they needed some. And that’s a little stank, even for me:) I come to this website for shits and giggles, jeez!

p.s. “abscond yourself “??? awesome grammar. The “yourself” is implied, but nice unnecessary vocab “aggrandizement,” you sound very “smart”.

i must have accidentally deleted:
“in my head”
after typing psycho killer

in short, that’s what i meant

“But it doesn’t seem to me that someone who was against the war would be dancing around in their underwear, or maintaining a website that condones such actions. If you were that concerned you would be maintaining an anti-war website, such as http://www.antiwar.com, but of course you are not.”

you are 100% correct when you state that it doesn’t seem to YOU that blah, blah, blah. who are you to state what these people should be doing with their personal time? you sound just like the right-wing moral majority when you attempt to define what people should be doing after working 40+ hours in whatever professional arena they are a part of. perhaps no one is interested in waving a banner stating what they are doing to end the war. it seems as though you take comfort in running around saying “hey, look at me! look at what i’m doing to end the war! check out these websites i’ve found!” some are more interested in DOING rather than talking. sounds like you’re more interested in showing everyone how involved you are rather than taking personal comfort in whatever changes your efforts bring about, mr./ms. show-off.

personally, i have zero interest in coming to a website dedicated to socializing and going on a rant about ending the war. i’m no glory hog and i take solace in knowing what i do professionally, politically and the like. unlike yourself who insists that everyone wear their convictions on their sleeve, like a bunch of glory hogs, and run around patting themselves on the back. which, i assume, someone like you, who posts political commentary on social blogs, would do.

just rest assured that not everyone here is a college freshman who’s just come home from winter break and stands on a soapbox spewing a bunch of freshly learned political “mumbo jumbo.”

“I doubt very much you have any serious political affiliations, you are obviously too busy underwear shopping.”

essentially you’re stating 1 + 1 = 5. how do you equate someone partying in their underwear 1 night a year with their political affiliations? is george bush’s cowboy boot and hat party worthy of higher standards?? excuse me, mr./ms. moral majority, but how someone chooses to spend their free time bears very little weight on their political and social contributions. did you think about the amount of political figures, both democratic AND republican, male and female, black and white, that partake in all sorts of coked up, alcohol fueled, amphetamine driven, sexed up debauchery in their free time? some of our greatest leaders have had all sorts of infidelities. some have been made public. some have not. all i’m saying is that you have NO IDEA what the people on this site are doing to end the war, make social change, or otherwise. and the fact that they choose to go to an underwear party gives you NO insight to what they’re doing.

“Get involved in doing the right thing, because dancing in your underwear while innocent people get killed in YOUR name is certainly not the right thing to be doing.”

again, mr./ms. moral majority, what gives you the right to set your standards upon others? as leftist as you try to come off, you sure subscribe to a lot of right-wing rhetoric when trying to get your point across.

to quote rob, “what’s up george bush?”

you’re no bother, we find you hilarious!
carry on my wayward son

Or maybe a certain someone realllllly wants to direct people to this particular site for some reason, and knew this was a high-traffic blog?

No I am not Serbian, but I come from a country with a similar religious conflict at its centre, which has thankfully found peace in recent years.
I am certainly not from antiwar.com, I would be more likely to advertise for Neil Young’s “Living with War” than a website.

oh, and maybe, just MAYBE some of the people at that party DO visit http://www.antiwar.com and similar sites regularly. my point is, you don’t know. no one knows what another does with his or her time in the confines of their home or office. out of the sellout crowd (i assume it was sold out. i wasn’t there), i’m sure you had to have more than just a couple of political activists in the bunch. just ’cause they’re in their skivvies is no reason to pass judgement.

hell, i thought a certain democratic president was a fine, upstanding, happily married, jazz loving american. who knew he was getting blowjobs from young interns in the oval office! hot damn!

also, who knew that a TWICE married, catholic, new jersey governor with kids was secretly riding the hershey highway (not that there’s anything wrong with that)?

just when you thought you had a person pegged….

“you seem an interesting if not a deranged individual.”

nice of you to notice. i did a rather lengthy bid here:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/medtour/elizabeths.html

hinkley and i were roommates. it was always “reagan” this and “jodie foster” that. sometimes it was “meese is a pig” boy, the stories he’d tell….

that’s waaay friggin’ nuts. why did he receive death threats for that movie? weird.

too many great scenes in that movie. my favorite being when travis (deniro) takes betsy (cybil shepherd) to see a “film”…hahaha. didn’t work out so well for him…hahaha. *sigh* long gone are the porno theaters of yesteryear. gone is a time when you take a nice girl to see a wholesome “film” surrounded by a bunch of guys in trench coats. yep, those were the days.

anyway, for those of you who have absolutely NO idea what we are talking about, john hinkley shot ronald reagan, and crippled ed meese, to gain the attention of jodie foster. he became obsessed with her after seeing her ‘taxi driver’ also starring deniro and shephard. you can see her here:

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Mptv/1380/2365_0011.jpg

hinkley beat the charge by being declared temporarily insane and was sentenced to st. elizabeth’s hospital. today he gets UNSUPERVISED visits with his family. i long for the day when i run into him and his family on the streets of DC. i’m going to say a few things to him that will certainly drive him back over the edge….hmm…maybe i can convince him to take out bush…

I forget what the death threats were about, but Scorsese was directly threatened that if he went to the Academy awards then he would be killed! How bizarre, but Scorsese went anyone, the tough little guy that he is.
I also love that scene when he takes Betsy to the porno theatre, I love his reaction when she flips out on him, “I don’t know much about movies”.
No shit Travis!

Its funny how Taxi driver writer Paul Schrader was inspired by the diary of would be assassin Arthur Bremer, then only for the film itself to go and inspire another would be assassin in Hinkley. The film was seemingly just to effective.
About him taking out bush…

Mission accomplished.

Come on Cale, don’t you know who I am. And just so everyone knows, Cale was the only gay Republican at Wake Forest - howz that for a skeleton in his closet.

Cale I wanna pump your ass sooo hard like we use to do when I was your roomie at Wake Forest. Don’t get all shy on me now, you know I love it when you bring out Captain Pecker the Party Wrecker. I promise I will give you a reach around. Meet you tonight at the R’n'R hotel 9.00p.m. I will be wearing an anti-war.com t-shirt.

This makes me totally embrace my bourgeoise destiny.
