Case Study #3: douchebags(1of10)(the gator)

as some of you may have noticed beanpoutine has been suffering from a severe lack of interestingness lately. stupid posts. retard observations. but its all about to change.

I have been working in the feild of douchebag studies for several years now. accumulating info and pictures in order to finish my final paper. the feild is not as simple as one would assume, as there are many nuances/subcategories to take into consideration when going about unearthing the truth behind the douche. many research trips to woodbridge and covert operations inside the guv and tonic have given me a better understanding of the douchebags in their natural habitat. the thematic continuity of this study will become clearer as the weeks pass by.

here is part 1 of a 10 part series. (thanks cmast for all the background stuffs)

this post is dedicated to one of the most fascinating douches of all: they call him "the gator". now internet famous his steely stare and massize bis and tris can be mesmerizing. i think hes as good a place to start as any. not the doucheyest of the douches. but close.



they call him the gator cause of the skin. and the orange.

the expected greeting

something has happened at work. i work for a big company. many boring faces and dull characters i see very often. i have recently greeted myself into an awkward situation that some of you might be familiar with: the expected hello. About a week ago I said hi to this guy i sometimes see around, not knowing really who he was or ever talking to him or nutthn. Now everytime I see him I have to say hi cause of that first time. you may be thinking...ooo big deal you anti-social weiner. but when you see the person like 10 times in a day..and have nothing at all to ever talk about its a big deal. its fucked. its like i have signed some terrible awkward contract with dullness. I have gone so far as to not walk in areas where he usually congregates. sigh. me="hey" him="hey"*10 times a day=annoying. fack.like i cant just stop saying hi to him cause he will recognize that and it will be so much worse from then on. we will both remember that period when we said hey to each other and the unspoken awkwardness will be ,,,bad..,.., fack

i have learned a valuable lesson. never be friendly.

any tips or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I am a lvl 8 warrior seeking my adventuring companion for game play and fornication. I partake in only adventure/fantasy role play, no creepy goth stuff, it’s too weird. Only sanctioned spells allowed, costume dress optional but preferred. I have the body of a wandering Norwegian brawler and short brown hair. Please be quite buxom and imaginative for play and enjoy fantasy role play aesthetics. Please send pics, leves, preferred adventure type and spell list. We could go get dinner (under $20), and watch a movie. Also I’m allergic to cats.

bimonthly blog update#1

hey folks

here giving you the bi-monthly roundup on all the happenings in the beanpoutine universe. the past 2 weeks have had their highs(look at that horse!), and lows(ravers), but something unforeseen has occurred that might threaten all that is beanpoutine. the blog has lost over half of its readers as a result of an inadvertent slight of my huge wiccan fanbase. apparently most of my readers have flipped over to http://www.witchway.net/forum.html (wiccan chat forum)because of lack of wiccan related posts. whowoulda thunk it. anywho. with death near beanpoutine needs your help. spread the word of the beanpoutine and you will be rewarded with continued excellence in:
-tranny fights
-nonsensical recipes
-valuable goth coverage
-videos of tardbags on the home shopping network
-and occasionally indepth research(floating island thingies)
AND more wiccan related info(giving into wiccan pressure)(and fear of spells n such)(<--lame)

THAT IS ALL

MAN(and women) MADE ISLANDS

We live in houses which reside in countries. Are there any other options you ask? Fuck yea. The internet has opened my eyes to whole new possibilities for living; specifically on a man made island. Im not talking bout houseboats, which are cool in their own right. but self built islands. I have never thought of myself as being an adventurous person. Actually I would consider myself fairly boring. Maybe even half-tarded and useless. But there are people out there that achieve crazy great empowering things when it comes to where they do their liv'n.
The previously mentionned woodland home is a perfect example of someone on their own punching off the grid and living in soemthing they built themselves (not to mention kinda cool looking.)


The woodland home is not nearly close to the extreme lengths that some people have gone to in order to live somewhere unique and autonomous.Lets move onto the topic at hand: floating island house things. Way down in Peru there is a man who under the influence of Ayahuasca(look it up) had images of a floating pyramid. So he started building the fucking thing. This pic is it in its early stages.
http://www.pyramidperu.com/
When finished its gonna be way way bigger and have a ton of features, such as a 500 person theatre a gym etc. This one project is very spiritually based according to my co-worker who went down and visited the guy. Shamanism n stuff propels his floating house thingy. cool shit.
The idea that someone could attempt such a monumentous task really struck a chord in my lazy ass. so I delved deeper into the world of insane people building floating houses. One of the best examples of such is a house floating off the coast of cancun..get this...on 300,000 pop bottles. Its got a couple of beachs, trees, a house, etc etc. Heres a pic:
http://www.geocities.com/spiral_island/pics.html
Thats a floating island people. FLOATING. Apparently the trees have started rooting so its kinda stationary for now.
The grandness of such projects makes me feel bad bout my inability to put away clothing in my room let alone building something so fucky. If your house reflects who you are. these poeple are whimsical fairytale japanese cartoon islands whereas I am a messy boring normal run of the mill bad art collecting..damn...where was i going with this.
anywho, ontyo paddy bates. ..hes a whole nother thing. He made a fucking floating country. He named it Sealand. built on an old ww2 base of some sort, he successfully (kinda) proclaimed it as a new nation in 1967 with its own postage, money, sports teams and so on. The story of sealand is much too complicated to outline here but you can read about it on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand The micronation has been throu alot inits breif history. war, government in exile, fire, porn hosting. But heres the capper. Its now up for sale for like over 50 million pounds. Thats right...you can buy a nation if you have the money.

There are several more examples of similar undertakings on the net. Some peoples in italy tried a sealandesque proclamation of independence years ago. all very itneresting stories.
In the end, floating your house is a dream saved only for the crazies out there. For the rest of us i suppose a dingy or waterwings will do. (great conclusion beanpoutine! A+ for effort)

Concert Review #1: Justice

so im staring at the wall in my room eating grapes last night when my roomie shrieks something fierce. free concert, open bar,at the great hall........ Justice. 15 minutes to roll grapes off belly and get ready. (stef is king. was working door)
To tell you the truth I didnt really know too much bout the Justice cept from their catchy summer singles. something bout being my friend. another one bout spelling. What I did know is that they apparently put on a good show and were a huge act to be playing such a small venue as the Great Hall. I quickly called up the biggest justice fan i knew (dougal in a kickass mc hammer tshirt) and was out the door.
the place was busyish when I got there with roomie and friends in tow. apparently it was some kinda free ticket giveaway by rogers or cibc or something, although the corporateness was kept to a minimum thankfully. the place quickly filled up by the time Justice came on sporting their dads old leather jackets. with it being an open bar and all a lot of the night was a pretty big blur.
i dunno if it was the crowd but the early parts of their set seemed a bit less a performance and more a lazy dj set where busy p and the justice guys would trade off djing while the tohers were prolly banging some leotarded american apparal add backstage.
but as the night ticked past 12 the energy and drunkeness int he great hall started to escalate to nutty levels ...and so did the justice showmanship that i had heard so much about. round 1 the shit really "went off." people jumped on stage, my roomie started grindn up on some guy in a tacky red tie, and the music really started to impress. they would mix in some hard house stuff with oldies like the ronettes-be my baby, which was kinda fun to listen to. the crowd went nuts when they played that friends song. fun times. the night was kinda like a gradual crescendo with the last bit showing me why they really were so big.
anywho. this review is a little long winded for a night i dont remember much of. but it was a fun night all in all. these dj guys do it like every other day which is fucking incredible. i wonder if it takes some of the fun out of it for them. maybe thats why they agree to do more intimate shows like this..or maybe rogers paid them a buncho money. who knows.
thanks stef for the hook up and getting us by the doorpeoples. fucking open bar!
