i had a dude walk up to me and say "never just take unsolicited advice"

possibly the best advice i ever got. total mindfuck though

A group of us in NYC and dude rolled up with a rope and declared, "Never leave the house without some rope" and then went on his way.

Could've been a firefighter. They'll tear your ass apart in the fire academy if you don't have your rope on you, at all times. Now that I think about it, you wouldn't believe the stuff I keep in my car at all times now.

They must have felt so vindicated by Boondock Saints.

Thats fucking amazing.

That's the IRL / performance art equivalent of "ceci n'est pas une pipe."

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I had forgotten about that painting. Lol thanks for reminding me, that's a great comparison.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Uh, this is not a reminder to stare at art.

Please do not stare at art.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Art get very nervous when you stare at them.

Welp, that was unintentional, but... apparently our shadow person here... yep, meet Arthur everyone.

Don't be shy.

... he would not like that, if you were shy...

EDIT: Wow, I thought this comment was in another thread.

... I'm leaving this here for additional absurdity.

EDIT 2:

I found Arthur

So do you follow his unsolicited advice of not following his advice? Or do you not follow it, by following it?
