What Townie Learned This Year


This post is strictly the images of my 2008. Some aren't remarkable to you, but they were to me, and in some way I "learned" something from them.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!


The Food:

1. I made this. Had to take a picture before it was devoured t-rex style. Hot chicks be advised: you could be eating this every morning. (well, probably not, but you could)
2. Nachos con chili at Applebee's. Looks more like a battlescene in a sci-fi movie up close.
3. Deep dish pizza from Giardano's in Chicago. One reason I absolutely couldn't live in the Second-City.

The Outfits:

1. Some guy sporting super-sweet cut-off, white jean shorts in the middle of a snow storm at Park Ave. Pizza in Woonsocket. Could've been the delivery guy, or I may just be assuming anybody that wears cut-off jean shorts is a delivery guy. Notice the "at-the-hips" phone angle to keep me incognito.
2. Dude or Dudette? That's the question. Ultimately, this mulleted trani-lookalike with an awesome purple shirt was a duderino. Nice threads, bro. This was taken at the Woonsocket-Hendricken boy's basketball state final.
3. My boy Elliot trying on the ugliest stuff imaginable at the Adidas outlet. Of course, you wouldn't know that was the Adidas store because it looks like the shirt is from the wardrobe of Pootie Tang.
4. If you want to see awesome threads, I suggest rest stops. This one is particularly awesome. So awesome I risked taking a close-up.

Memorable moments

1. Partiots versus Cardinals. This is the eulog on the jumbotron that is supposedly keeping us warm.
2. Turtle racing in Chicago. I don't remember the bar's name, (Joe's?? Double J's salloon? I don't know, it was something divey) but it was a dive and seeing Yolanda being called the slowest fucking turtle in the world repeatedly by 200 people, ultimately, made my year.
3. High school basketball game in the TD Banknorth Garden. That's the parquet floor. That's where I watched a bunch of a games. If it's not in the Garden then it's creepy to watch a high school girl's basketball game. No matter if it's your job or not. It's not natural.


The Otherly:



1. While waiting in line for a NOFX show, multiple marching bands take over Providence's downtown, stalling traffic and not ending up in handcuffs. They were also led by people in outrageously awesome costumes and terrible white people dancing.
2. This is a tricked out 83 Whatever with everything tacky glued to it. We found it outside a Chili's. How ironic.
3. "Crush the Germans with your mind" is the best poster I've ever seen. I found it on somebody's desk at the Standard Times.



4. Public pornography inside a Providence bar's bathroom. I got the same kind of stuff in my bathroom, but it's called Playboy.
5. One of my friends saw a toilet in the alley of two apartment houses near Providence College and decided he needed to pee sitting down. There's no shame in that, though.
6. I don't know why, but this is my favorite picture. Two of my goofy friends are trying to buy drinks with this extra-oversized $100 bill. I don't know if they had real money on them.
