How come there are no good music videos anymore? The weird conceptual stuff, like how California Love was set in thr Thunderdome.

You gotta get off the mainstream music for weird videos. I go down some YouTube rabbit holes for weird music videos once in a while and there is probably more weird stuff now because it is easier for bands to make indie videos.

Yeah the new MGMT video is a cool concept paying homage to other videos.

Spilling something on your shirt early in the day and then having to walk around with a stain for the rest of the day. It would be not too bad if the stain was in a somewhat not obvious spot but when it is in the middle of your chest it is a bad look.

Spare work clothes FTW.

I keep a few Flames jerseys at my office...

"Oh you're in Game Day mode huh?"

- "They must never know of the BBQ sauce stains on the shirt underneath this jersey..."

It's jarring to see them jump from adolescents with psychedelics-inspired videos to grown men that sound like Weezer with synths.

The crotch-blotch is worse IMO, whether you've spill your milk/cream/yoghurt (any color pants looks bad) or even something on dark pants. Having both shirt and pants... now that's obviously a messy eater.

yeah, I always have two sweaters around, because my office can get cold and also to hide any spills.

I have an oversized cardigan or vest at work for that reason too. Can hide spill stains on shirt and obscure views of spill stains on the crotch or use to keep warm when it's cold.

I think in a previous thread, I was surprised at how many posters thought it was absolutely bizarre to have any form of spare clothing at their office or vehicle in case of emergency situations like this.

It was particularly bad at my old office because I worked right by Holy Smoke BBQ and Rocky's Burger Bus, there was a Mary Brown's chicken...

Like...the sloppiest food on Earth.

Yep. Spare shirt or Flames jersey. Minimum.

I try and keep it clean at the Whistle.

Thing is, at my old office people came from all over the industrial part of the City...whereas half of the people at the Whistle are my clients.

I am the unofficial Local Accountant.
