Elbows Are Sharper Than Knives

I bought these yesterday...




So majority of my time was spent smiling stupidly at stuff white people like because so much of it is true & oh so predictable, it's laughable.

For instance, 117 - Premium Juice: The ideal white-person juice costs between $3 & $6, contains a blend of organic fruit, & is infused with some sort of vitamin or medicinal herb. There are some instances where the juice is simply that of a single fruit, but in those cases it must be a fruit that seems difficult to juice - pomegranate, for example.
I find this funny because it's so relatable. In my fridge at the moment there are about 5 bottles of pomegranate tea & the spectacular apple juice that I had mentioned in a previous entry. I love it.

I also enjoyed 84 - T-shirts: The T-shirt is one of the most complex & expressive items in their entire wardrobe. T-shirts fall into 3 categories: vintage, new, & unacceptable. Within each category lies another, more precise subset of rules & rankings. This is complicated, make no mistake.
The most prized t-shirt category is vintage. Ownership of an original vintage t-shirt from the 70s or 80s is a very powerful social status symbol. The ideal shirt will have a funny logo, a year attached to it, & it will be as thin as rice paper. In the event that 2 white people have shirts that meet this criteria, the superior ranking is given to the person who paid the least for the shirt.


The nose-picking book is not as exciting as I though it might have been.
& the Bob Dylan bio is jam-packed with heaps of awesome photos - 200 to be exact.
