Your daily dose of Schandenfreude

Today as I made my way up towards 5th avenue after getting off the subway, I saw a VERY amusing sight.

An older man. He had a long, silky grey ponytail (hitting at the shoulder blades), a slate blue turtleneck, a black blazer, pristine slim-legged blue jeans, and black shoes. I tried not to giggle as he and his very blonde companion passed by, but I did have one thought:

"Hey buddy - 1991 called. It wants the outfit back."

Seriously. If anyone out there remembers what is possibly my favorite Kids in the Hall skit ("He's Hip! He's Cool! He's 45!"), this is That Guy.

Gentlemen, I plead from the bottom of my heart when I say: "Don't be That Guy."

schadenfreude is the best word ever. I learned it in Avenue Q - it's taking pleasure in the pain of others, Mr. Doughnut! ;D

Ok honestly I did take two semesters of German in college, so I know a little more than that. Anyone wanna fund my trip to Germany? Educational purposes honest ;-)

Sorry kid, if I had that kind of money to throw around I'd be on a jet to Tahiti right now.
