Alcohol Free Saturday Night - w4m - 31


I never trust people who like to tell everyone how they "don't need alcohol to have fun," daring anyone to challenge them so they can implying you are an alcoholic. Beneath their sanctimonious veneers, I feel that they are sad, bitter creatures. Plus, when you post an ad looking for non-drinking company, you are likely to spend your evening pursuing this guy's sober idea of fun: a two-person costume party.

The look of desperation in his eyes says it all.

Jordache suitcase - $20


I'm guessing that this picture represents the apex of computer-developed art and design around the time Jordache suitcases were actually sold. Then again, that timeframe may be too generous. At any rate, the real questions we should be asking are:
  1. Does his cyborg arm allow the bartender a greater virtuosity in drink-mixing, or does it only make him more prone to showing off so-called "flair" techniques?
  2. Is the patron at center preparing to launch into a full front bend/ass popping or some other equally-alluring dance move?
  3. What exactly is Jordache's position in the market for nostalgia -- antique, collectible, retro, kitsch, or trash?
Discuss.
