Shame On [Company]

Lately I’ve been seeing groups of men standing around vinyl signs in various locations across Tulsa. The sign is always the same, reading “Shame On [company/organization]” in large red lettering and “Labor Dispute” in small black letters in all four corners of the sign. The sign is about 15 feet long and is stretched across PVC piping. I’m not sure if it’s the same men every time, but at the very least they must be working together. The signs are too similar for them not be somehow related. I’ve seen them at three different locations, each time shaming a different organization.

This makes me wonder (but not enough to stop and converse), is this some sort of scam these men are running? Perhaps they feel genuinely cheated by these companies, but if that’s the case, the sheer number of organizations which they are shaming makes me think that their work must be sub par at best.

Have you seen these signs around town? What’s the deal? Please enlighten me.

Q-Tip – The Renaissance

If you know me, you know I don’t listen to much rap or hip-hop. Blame it on my rocker upbringing, but it takes something special to pull my attention to such genres, to make me breathe and stop. This album has that something special. It’s such a vivrant thing. And if you’re looking for the opinion of someone much more into hip-hop than myself, DWayne agrees. Hell, even pitchfork agrees.

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk

If you aren’t a Palahniuk fan, chances are you can’t read. Though, I must admit I have to look up his last name every time I go to type it. Survivor presents the first person story of a celebrity religious leader, told via the little black box of a plane on its way to a watery grave. Chuck Palahniuk (sp?) on religion, sex, and murder. What’s not to like?

Thoughts… Questions

If I drank a Café Américano while wearing Crest White Stripes, which would win?

If I played your grandma in fantasy football would she beat me, too? Would she talk trash?

If I lived in a post apocalyptic world would I be as nice to other people as I am in Fallout 3?

Am I too old to play video games? If yes, you’re stupid head that’s stupid.

If I added nothing to this site for two weeks would you notice?
