Heterochromia is in reference to [Bowie's] eyes, which I have to say are stunning. One [hazel], one blue. It's a mutation. It's a very groovy mutation.

 

Imagine Patrick Stewart delivering those lines... and suddenly they become a bit creepy.

Especially if he puts Bowie in drag going to the bathroom on a cake.

Holy shit, his eyes are different! I never noticed that before.

Seriously?

No, WRONG.

He was punched in the face as a teenager in a fight over a girl.

Had something weird happen to me tonight.   I am 37 years old.   The photo in my Avatar was taken some years ago.   I went out to dinner with my parents tonight.   I ordered a drink.   The waitress carded me.     Is there anyone here  that would confuse someone who is 37, with someone who is less than 21?    Would you question that person in my avatar is over 21 years of age? I've aged since that photo!    

 She might have been flirting with you, Warb!  Did you get her number?

I demand an updated photo for a fair assessment of the situation.

Hope all goes well DAYV.

Just heard it is illegal to smoke tobacco in Amsterdam coffee shops.

no, it was not flirting.   her manner in asking to see my license was strictly a professional one. 

no, I did not get her number

perhaps someday I'll do a photo update.   We'll see.

PARDON ME SIR

So yesterday I was standing in line at the grocery store. I'm like fourth in line behind three people who are buying groceries for their entire village, apparently. And the store manager, or line runner, or needless meddler, or whatever he is, motions me over to the 15 item or less lane, which is currently empty. Now keep in mind, I've got exactly thirty-two items, thirty-seven if you consider my six-pack of Milwaukee's Best as six items instead of one. But anyway.

At first I stand in my current line, knowing that I would be violating the sacred 15 item rule. But Frowny McFrownster keeps waving me over, while getting more and more grumpy about it. So finally I consent, and head over to the lane. And of course, I get there right ahead of four other people, all who have three or less items. Now, in a normal situation, I'd just let them go ahead of me, but I had already put down my Wheaties Box on the conveyor, and it was a little stuck to some gum residue or something. And frankly, I haven't worked out in like forever, and I was too weak to get it up off the conveyor. Believe me, I tried.

Naturally, all these people behind me are staring death rays through the back of my head, and the store guy is not any happier, because I'm still trying to mess with the Wheaties, and I still have thirty-one (thirty-six?) items to unload. And I'm trying to figure out what my next move should be, when suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Pardon me sir," I hear from behind me. I turn around, and it's the pharmacist. "Sir, you left your condoms on the counter." And of course, she says it in the loudest voice possible, and holds out the box so everyone can see that they are extra small.

What she doesn't say is that I was buying them for my uncle, who is too busy to get them himself (and believe me, I told her all about it when I bought them).

Some people. Sheesh.

IT'S ALWAYS FRY DAY.

"Pardon Me Sir" deserves to be an OT.COM meme.

It should be used whenever we post a response that is blatantly obvious but rather tactless.

Pardon me, sir, but are you saying...you want a piece of me?

Only if it's your POTC.

I still really like how OT.com memes are hand picked to be memes and become memes based on the whim of a few people, even though the majority of the members on the site never use them, don't know where they came from, and have no idea what they mean.

I still really do think we're missing the point.

Kind of like Snakes on a Plane being made with the intention of becoming a cult hit...
