Re: The official funny/fail/epic thread.
I got briefly into beatnik culture after reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road, several years ago. Even tried to get into jazz with only a modicum of success.
Recently, someone on FaceBook posted this 1950's photo of Cafe Bizarre, in NYC's Greenwich Village.
Check out what those hipsters are wearing!!!

Re: The official funny/fail/epic thread.
The Cafe Bizarre photo inspired me to do some Googling and I found this crazy recording by Ellie Girl and a band called the Seven Beats Sulks. It was recorded at Cafe Bizarre in 1959...

You can listen to more here:

I also came across this pre-hippie documentary short, about Greenwich Village made in 1960...

Re: The official funny/fail/epic thread.
I'm both highly intrigued and laughing my ass off that this is a thing:
https://www.booksbythefoot.com/
You literally just tell them how many feet of shelf space you want, pick a category (prices vary by category) and they send you books to fill the space. The idea is for home decorating, but one of the reading/writing groups I'm in has been buying big batches of them and then randomly pulling books from the group buy to read and finding some real treasures in among the usual garbage. I'm half tempted to buy a foot or two of the vintage stuff and see what I come up with.

Sounds like the plot intro for a horror movie.......guy eats fruit, turns into a zombie or whatever, you get the drift.....
Did this question come from something real?

Re: The official funny/fail/epic thread.
I saw a fruit tree in a cemetery and was thinking , um no fucking way would I eat that but then I thought , hmm why not ?
