Standing people

This morning there appear to be lots of people standing on corners for no reason. Just standing.

Perhaps awaiting a lift. But I suspect a concerted campaign of corner standing for a much more sinister purpose than any I can imagine right now. When the shit goes down at least we’ll have a record of when it all began.

Also this morning I came up with a quite fantastic business idea that would make me rich in this C.E.E and it involved an animal on the brink of extinction. However I have forgotten exactly which animal and in which way it would be deployed in order to make my fortune.

That said I know for a fact that having the animal stand on a corner with the corner standing people was not it.

    It’s probably some a fucking flash mob. Which I thought were great for 5 about minutes. Or maybe there was just 3 good ones and 398 stupid annoying ones.

  5. Sounds like a Dublin version of ‘The Wire’.
    We could call it ‘Da Wuyar’.

    noticed standing people too. thought might be alien invasion along bodysnatcher lines, but realised a. aliens only ever land in america, and b. any species clever enough to invent space travel sure as fuck aren’t going to be stupid enough to invade this country

    I particularly dislike people standing in your way as you try to walk.

    Anyone know where I can get tickets to The Specials? They sold out at ticket master this morning. There used to be a place in town called Radio City (I think) Would you know of anything similar??

    *Sorry for the blog missuse*

    There’s one round here who leans on a brush. Never brushes anything, just leans.

    Specialist art, brush leaning, Magoo.

    You don’t just start in by leaning on a brush, you have to build up to it.

    You need an animal with three legs for any decent corner

    You thought of this this morning and it’s still morning.

    There were less of them standing a while ago. But not enough less to make me think there wasn’t something going on.

    Nonny – a while ago I found a message board/forum for people to sell/exchange concert tickets. Can’t remember the name though, something to do with not being a tout. Not much help but you can Google.

    Yeah, I remember thinking ‘Don’t forget this now’. At least I remember thinking not to forget it.

    The animal of which you speak of which is on the brink of extinction is Fianna Fail. The manner in which you can make some money from them? Take, for example, Beverly Cheesy Grin, put her in a wheelie bin, construct a structure above the wheelie bin, similar to the one in Slumdog Millionaire where the kid jumps into the shit, and charge people for shitting on her. A euro a pop would be reasonable and would make a fortune. Then take another animal from the Fianna Fail Zoo; say, Dermot Ahearne. Deploy him to the O’Connell Street with a sign around his neck stating “god is a cunt”. Charge him up under blaspemy laws, try him in a non-jury court with just the word of a a pig or piglet needed to prove his guilt. Take the 100k fine and give it to Jack O’Connor. You know he’ll spend it wisely…..

    Thank you.

    Zombies. I’ve seen “Shaun of the Dead,” I’m prepared, the Spouse Sparrow’s Enfield and ammo are all ready. Of course I live in the ghetto, so it’s hard to say who’s a zombie and who’s not, but better safe than sorry.

    Also this morning I came up with a quite fantastic business idea that would make me rich in this C.E.E and it involved an animal on the brink of extinction.

    Just a guess, but it was probably Polar Bear Spice burgers.

  18. Twenty Major says:

    Itchy, I like that idea.

    FS – still can’t remember but now it doesn’t matter anymore. It couldn’t possibly have been better than polar bear spiceburgers.

    Was it the hedgehog used in some kind of velcro manner?

  20. Invaderjim says:

    The ticket website your thinking of could be http://www.toutless.com

  21. Twenty Major says:

    That’s the one.

    Missed the mention of Flash Mobs up above. Those things really annoy me.

    I have run out of ciggies. What a disaster.

    Nah, they’re like cockroaches.

  24. Holemaster says:

    Was it Animal from The Muppets?

    Now that you tipped off the government about people standing around on corners, taxes will have to be raised to pay for corner covers to protect them from the elements. The government will no doubt put covers over the corners to keep the sun from burning the people in the summer and to keep the snow and sleet off them in the winter. Oh! I forgot, you don’t have sun. Well…at least it will keep them dry. Benches, why not install benches so that they can sit.
