...you can't expect to get past my secretary.

...is gonna have to step up their game.

..and I *still* can't get a table at Dorsia!

and art are an important part of one's life--not everything should be North Korean in drudgery, greyness and misery.

But this? This is fucking OBSCENE. One of those cards could feed how many kids for a month?

What a waste. A hideous, offensive waste.

Worst crime? They're UGLY. What pompous ASTRUM thought up that lousy idea? It's as stupid as the "diamond encrusted" underwear they come out with to tout that lingerie show--but at least that stupid excess works to create jobs and commerce. These stupid cards have a VERY small market. Big fail, as the kids say!

Just when I thought demolishing a $12M house because you could was, along comes this. Not only does it say "Hey look at me I have a better job than you! Ha ha!", it says "I'm a pompous asshole who doesn't give a fuck" on top of that!

Oh, you are one of those who jump to conclusions because it is more fun to follow the mob than search for the facts:

I work for an engineerig firm and I know it's entirely possible to bring a house up to code without demolishing it completely - which could have been easily done But we'll save that for another debate.

I won't say that it's not possible but I will say that it is possible to fix the foundation for far less than the cost of tearing it down and rebuilding from scratch. Because not only do you have to pay all the demolition fees (including the plans for demolition) you also have to pay for all the designing and rebuilding on top of the construction costs, and those add up.

is edible gold foil.

Listen to this hilarious bit.

Love David Cross, though! Mr. Show is the true way!

If so, I'll take two.

Hey, even the little guys forget their keys sometimes!

Why don't we just shoot as many stacks of hundred dollar bills as we can straight at the sun. Does anyone know how many pallets of hundred dollar bills we can lift in a Saturn V?

What better way to rub our faces in it?

And here you thought the business card scene was over the top.

n/t

How common and vulgar-- the typeface looks like Lucida Sans Unicode.

I suppose the person who would want these 'things' also have a fleet of black Mercedes limousines, like every other Russian gangster on the planet.

phone apps that send virtual "business cards"? Actual business cards are so last century.

Card...$1500
Lunch $8

It took me a while to remember his name-Benny Ray.

I didn't think that was wretched excess. I still don't.

Because Benny would get up each morning and load up his red pick-up truck with tires. A good 6 feet above the cab roof and distribute them to gas stations and other vendors.

He was in his late 70's early 80's. I, in the past 30 years, only have seen one pick-up stacked as high as Benny's who did it, most of the time, alone.

Some people deserve a little luxury ...like Benny who financed his nephew's (???) record. That is how I met one of the hardest working and joyful people I have ever met.

I'd even take extras.

So this is to give other people this - are they just all fellow rich people, for whom it doesn't mean anything to the recipient in terms of its value?
