Comments on: Frugality! http://blog.mcgladdery.org/2010/01/426/ Feeding Kevin's Ego Since 2005 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:01:41 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Kevin http://blog.mcgladdery.org/2010/01/426/comment-page-1/#comment-858 Kevin Thu, 14 Jan 2010 08:21:30 +0000 http://blog.mcgladdery.org/?p=426#comment-858 Kev: I apologize for misleading you. I am not frugal at all, mostly due to my expensive and fickle tastes. For example, I refuse to use a GPS device more than once. After a trip in the car, I discard the GPS device I was using, and unbox a new one I had waiting in the trunk. I like them fresh, you see. It's hard to be frugal with tastes like that. Walter: I believe you're correct. If I recall correctly, I don't think there was much of anything they could do for SARS. I was about to make a "Velveteen Rabbit" reference in my reply to you, but upon further investigation it appears that the velveteen rabbit was <em>not</em> burned at the end of that book as I had thought. I'm actually glad. I always thought it wasn't appropriate to end a children's book by setting the protagonist on fire. Kev: I apologize for misleading you.

From the title, I thought it was going to be about one of my favorite topics -- frugality. Instead, frugality is used as a segue into ideas for retro hipness. But fine. I'll play your game. While everyone else embraces the 80s and waits for it to be cool again, I'll embrace the 90s. Yep. I'm one step ahead of you. Goodbye shaving my entire face, hello soul patch. Goodbye regular wallet with nothing attached to it, hello metal chain that will attach my wallet to my pants. Goodbye regular attire, hello Doc Martins and flannel shirts. In related news: Goodbye girls being attracted to me, hello life of loneliness. This post made me sad. From the title, I thought it was going to be about one of my favorite topics — frugality.

Jason: Your proposal is interesting. I will investigate further. Jenny: I'm glad someone else thinks SARS is due for a comeback. Maybe you could combine the two and get Swine SARS. THAT should keep you for awhile. Angi: Not to be rude, but it’s pretty safe to just throw most of that away.

Darn. Guess I better put away my tapered acid washed jeans, L.A. Gear hi-tops and neon green scrunchie. “Remember, 80’s cartoons are hip. 80’s clothing isn’t, yet.”
