Imagine: it's 100+ degrees out, all those dudes in suits are sweating their balls off.

And you're nice and comfortable in your air conditioned barrel.

I saw someone at the airport yesterday walking around in an inflatable unicorn suit. Was thinking to myself, not that's a way to keep cool and keep people out of your personal space at the same time.

Apparently this was a punishment for drunkards in parts of Europe and supposedly some parts of the US.

I was fucking so wrong when i said that the 1990's were about as good as it gets for fashion.

It was actually the 1490's

The only issue I see is I can't use my phone wearing a barrel.
