i haven't washed my car in a year. it's covered with grime and bird shit and the hood has some unknown substances on it that could be spilled soda or grease of some kind. the interior of my car is covered with receipts, random pieces of paper, old paycheck stubs, record store bags, and empty bottles of water. the trunk has cleaning supplies, some of which have spilled out onto the carpet, leaving garish blue stains. the gas tank door won't stay closed and every time my car hits a substantial bump--a fair common occurrence on los angeles streets--it pops open, leading to lots of other drivers pointing it out to me. i don't bother to pull over because i know it'll happen again.

laundry covers my bedroom floor. i don't know if it's clean or dirty, it's probably both, so i'll just rewash it all again.

not washing your car is apparently a crime against nature when your neighbors have a bmw SUV and a mercedes coupe in their driveway

once i opened a drawer in the kitchen that i hadn't opened for months, and there was a bag of potatoes in there, and they were liquid, and a cloud of flying insects from another fucking planet flew out of there. also in that kitchen, the stovetop was covered in a BLANKET of dead gnats. i mean a blanket. not 10 gnats, not 50 gnats. i don't know why i am saying this like i should be boasting. it is horrifying.

Not washed car, uh, ever. Not washing your jeans for a year is fairly regular behavior amongst raw denim snobs, Vahid!

after living with a really dirty person once (same pile of laundry was in the same place when i moved in and out (and when i went back to visit 3 months after moving out), dog hair tumbleweeds all over the place, 3 cats confined to basement covered it with shit and piss which was never cleaned, other half of basement suffered from sump pump floods which were never cleaned up after, etc.) i can't really let my place get too dirty. i'm not a clean freak, but i'm getting to the stage where i even notice when i should be dusting, mopping the bedroom floor, etc, though sometimes i don't see the point because as soon as i sweep the floor, it's dusty again.

when i had a car, though, i never washed it because 7-8 months of the year, it was covered in snow and salt so there was no point. in the summer, i let the occasional rain shower take care of it.

sometimes i leave food in the fridge for months at a time and find it later and get really grossed out. i've lost a lot of dishes that way.

i used to sweep kitchen floor a ton but since i don't cook much these days, it's not as immediately necessary (or maybe it is and i really am a dirtbag!). the floor that bothers me most is the bedroom, though. hardwood + i have a few rugs, but the fuzz from jon's rug travels in as well as random dust and i feel like it's ALWAYS in need of a sweeping. i'm not amish so i don't really like to clean that frequently. maybe i should get one really large rug so i don't notice as much?

winter of '00 i was living in a 250 sq ft space that was mostly bathroom and kitchen, while dating a girl who had a nebulous 'adult entertainment' job at a gentleman's club (later leading into adult films shortly after we broke it off) that amounted to her watching guys jerk off in front of her in plush rooms. she'd come over a couple nights a week and we'd both eat mcdonald's and watch shitty movies. i didn't wash my clothes because there was no laundry on the premises and no laundromat within walking distance and my previous car was fucked up and i didn't like to drive it. my neighbor, i found out later, thought i was a white supremacist because i never left my apartment and i had a shaved head. the album i played the most those few months was probably wu-tang's '36 chambers' so i'm not sure how that played into the equation, maybe it was my sort-of gf rolling up in her shitty truck blasting david allen coe's more "underground recordings"?

I like yr attitude, Vahid! How are the LVCs btw? I was thinking about a pair, but the Japanese seem to be kicking everyone's ass on the denim front these days.

ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Saturday, 23 September 2006 06:17 (seventeen years ago) link

they are gorgeous. the denim is just ... insane. so much texture, such a gorgeous indigo.

thing is they are shrink-to-fit, but i bought them fairly tight because all of my other raw jeans have stretched about two or three inches. i wonder if i should have bought them too big and done a cold soak to shrink them ... i don't know, i guess i just chickened out on the idea of buying these huge jeans and spending all that time crouched in the bathtub waiting for them to dry on my legs and shrink to the perfect fit.

problem is, if these DON'T stretch, i am going to be the owner of some tight-ass jeans.

what would be ideal is if they stretched a bit, but not too much. then i'll just wear them unwashed FOREVER.

the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Saturday, 23 September 2006 06:23 (seventeen years ago) link

the LVCs seemed like a good alternative to japanese jeans, they are priced about a bill cheaper. i can justify paying $150 for a good super-classic pair of jeans that i can wear for a few years straight but when i catch myself looking at any item of clothing that costs $200 and over and isn't a suit i start to wonder at my priorities in life.

and if it will wreck my dirtbag image

the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Saturday, 23 September 2006 06:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd bet the LVCs should stretch out fine, but if not, can always soak the waist and stretch them some yourself. There are some nice brands of Japanese jeans for around $200ish a pair, but I know what you mean about the price..I justified the cost of my Eternals and Samurais by the fact they should last quite a long time.

Despite the cost, the way these are worn is in keeping with the dirtbag thing, I say. If they were some sort of designer predistressed denim, I would turn in my dirtbag card though!

a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Saturday, 23 September 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

A few months ago, because I was too lazy to get dressed and get my key and go to the bathroom on the floor, I took a poo into a garbage bag. Then I threw the garbage back down the chute, my floormates none the wiser.

Well, yesterday at 11:30 at night I had a similar problem. I had a stomach ache and I really didn't feel like getting dressed and fumbling around with my wallet, so I shat into another garbage bag.

Here's the twist.

The chute is completely blocked up. It's filled with trash, nothing can enter it, it's completely full. There's even a sign on it saying "DO NOT OPEN."

So, here I am with a bag of shit in my room. I put it in a suitcase in my closet. My room doesn't smell at all, but the closet is pretty stinky. This is awful and humiliating.

Hopefully the garbage chute will be cleared up tomorrow (I think tomorrow's a trash day)... Will my suitcase forever smell like poo? Or is the fact that it's in a garbage bag preventing that from happening?

I get all nervous when people come into my room. It's like the tell-tale heart.

my story is that i was 18, it was summer, and i decided to try to swim out to a kelp bed and realized i'd swum out past my limit.

WAAAAAAAAAY past my limit.

i started swimming in but there was a rip current and i ended up fighting the current for what seemed like an hour (probably more like 20 minutes) and eventually i stopped paying attention to what i was doing and when i finally ended up in the surf i was so exhausted that i got pounded and swallowed a ton of saltwater.

i walked off the beach and climbed into my car. it was a really hot day and i just sat there in the leather seats of my burgundy cressida, soaking up the warmth and burping a bit.

then i started the car and drove to the end of the street, turned on the coast hwy and drove for about five minutes. at the end of my street i pulled up on a traffic light and a sherriff rolled up next to my. i looked over at him, smiled, turned back to the wheel and puked a gallon of dirty saltwater all over my chest and lap and steering wheel.

the light turned green and i got home (he didn't follow me)

I own two pair of shoes (Adidas sneakers for work, Adidas shelltoes for everything else), haven't shaved in six weeks, don't own a suit or any kind of dress clothes, and haven't washed my truck in two years. There's also a bit of a cave-in on the right side where I backed into it with a forklift.

I am however, fastidious about washing clothes and keeping things clean. Jeans get no more than two wears between washing - I don't even know how you can live with more than that.

i have a bridge story too. cant remember if it was brooklyn or manhattan bridge, but had a date with a cute girl at petit abeille. after several belgian beers we went to apt, where cranberry vodkas were free for some reason. after too many of those i started stumbling, falling into snowbanks. during cab ride back to brooklyn, exactly over the bridge, i roll down the window and spray the entire outside back of the car, including 1/3 of puke which the wind blew back inside.

jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

here's a decent enough story i guess. i regularly find things on the ground and pick them up and bring them home. in college i had a lil' girl's jelly shoe i found on the street (reversed my car to pick it up) and put it on the TV for a year or more.

a couple of years ago found a bunch of photos in a cement block. opened them up, rather sticky and marveled at how weird they were. some were black and white of mexican families on horseback from the 40s. most were of a gay latin couple from the late 70s and early 80s. gigantic mustaches and mexifros. i took them home, put them in an envelope because they were sorta sticky and hid them in my closet. one day the wife was looking for something in the closet and found them and freaked the fuck out thinking i had a secret latin lover. why else would i hide these photos from her.

-18C (0 F):
The temperature that freezers should be running at. Freezing does not destroy bacteria, pathogens or their toxins and spores. In a freezer bacteria are merely in a state of suspended animation or a hibernation state. They will not multiply, but nor will they die.
65C (149F):
Most bacteria will start to die at this temperature
70C (158F):
The internal temperature of jeans should reach this to ensure any bacteria has been destroyed.

I dunno what you are wearing, Shasta, but any of the current [blah blah blah] quality Japanese brands. Dior Homme isn't bought for the denim, which is okay but nothing great, but for the cut/style. I'd be curious to hear more about whatever this secret [blah blah blah] stuff is, though I have a hard time buying that it can make the high end Japanese denim seem inexpensive, as already that hits 500 and up easily.

I know about Self Edge, they and BiG are great and I'm happy to see such stores hit the US. They are still overpriced though, compared to buying from Japan if you can. For 500+, I was mainly referring to pairs that are pure veg indigo, and often limited runs or something like 45 RPM's Jomons, not what I've paid for jeans like Canes/Samurais! I'd def be interested, next time I'm in Cali, Shasta, and would love to see [blah blah blah] put out and market something that can compete with the best of Japan.

ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 05:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd recommend avoiding Evisu, LF, they do put out some quality denim, but the painted on birds kind of shit all over it. Also, there are better buys to be had for what they cost now. PBJ XX-005s would be one good option for you, though they will be > $175 by a bit unless you know someone in Japan who can help you out, in which case they should be ~$170ish shipped.

i'm not a japanese denim snob, but:

i'm pretty stoked on the Levi's Capital E Stacked Skinny's. really nice wash, slim (i bought them a size up so they weren't tights), and really long so they bunch up.

also, i know shasta thinks they're poorly made, but APCs make nice low end/high end jeans.

Well, apologies for it, but I didn't intend to totally derail thread! LF, Samurai and Iron Heart in particular sell a lot of jeans that are heavier fabric, but I live in a desert and can manage it year round, ymmv, however. Most JP denim is more in the ~14 oz range, and I think the LVC stuff is a little lighter even, though I can't remember off the top of my head. LVC '47s you can get for $175 online from Levi's.

japanese denim freaks (allah & shasta): you guys are out of your mind. i saw a pair of PRPS the other day and they were no better or worse than any other jeans i see out there. i like jeans that look good and fit well. if they cost a bit more money than i'm happy to buy them, but i'm not gonna buy a pair just because it came from japan. as far as "quality" i've never had a pair of jeans fall apart on me. i think you guys are being sold on hype.

HUNTA-V (vahid), Saturday, 18 November 2006 04:13 (seventeen years ago) link

one of the things i never understood about hi-fashion clothes. if your pants are so damn nice, why do they come in S, M, L and XL instead of a range of waists and inseams?

HUNTA-V (vahid), Saturday, 18 November 2006 04:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't really like PRPS. You're mad if you can't tell the difference between a pair of cheap jeans and a pair made with superior dyes, fabric, etc, be it made in Japan, the US, or anywhere else, Jaxon. It's nothing to do with "Made in Japan" in and of itself, merely that a number of small Japanese brands are fanatics about the quality of their product in a way that most others producers of jeans today are not. Price in general is a bad indicator of what you're getting with jeans though, as all sorts of "fashionable" jeans of dubious quality are sold for rediculous amounts. Fact that people pay so much more for shitty washes and distressing is crazy. To get into all the details like ring ring vs open end, hank/rope dyeing, number of dips of indigo, etc would be a really, really long post.

sometimes great inventions are result of dirt bag style like a few years ago I was eating a lot of rice and tended to get distracted about cooking so there was often delicious roasted rice very stuck at the bottom of the cooking pot, almost only removable by boiling watrer in it again, and since I had only one pot to cook and to heat up water for my tea at one point dirt bag style kicked in and I used the same water. That's how Genmaicha (Popped-Rice tea) got invented again (i bet that's how it got invented in the first place)

moonship journey to baja, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Also called “Ginger Cedar” for its highly unusual, spicy odor, Port Orford cedar is found only in the tangled knot of coastal mountains in northern California and southern Oregon known as the Klamath-Siskiyou region. Its soothing odor is extremely evocative and was said to have strongly affected 19th century seamen who sailed schooners made from the fresh wood - “the odor grew and grew on them till they were almost mad with it” (Donald Peattie). I hope it doesn’t drive you mad! While many soaps claim to be “cedar” scented, this soap is the only one you will find with the distinct smell of Port Orford Cedar and the distinct feeling of the gorgeous, rugged country of the Klamath region in which it grows.

moonship journey to baja, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

California’s Sierra is perhaps the most widely loved and jealously guarded mountain range in North America. Its deep heart of wilderness has has been the fuel of inspiration for generations of wilderness activists including such greats as John Muir and David Brower. This soap smells like the Sierra because it is made from the spicy smelling leaves of Incense Cedar, which blanket its western flanks. This is the real smell of warm summer evenings in the meadows along the Tuolumne river, or of stumbling out of your sleeping bag in the middle of the night, with the impossibly cold, wood-smoke Sierra air lighting up your senses.

Man, one time outside the co-op across from my house, I found this 8-pack of designer canned soups. Turducken, quail,, all kinds of great stuff! I didn't have any food at the time (which was why I was looking outside the co-op: food was left in the parking lt & by the dumpster a lot), so I was K-EXCITED. But when I got home & saw them in the light I discovered they were designer dog foods.

one month passes...

Oh, I'm Dirty Dan, the world's dirtiest man,
I never have taken a shower.
I can't see my shirt--it's so covered with dirt,
And my ears have enough to grow flowers.

But the water is either a little too hot,
Or else it's a little too cold.
I'm musty and dusty and patchy and scratchy
And mangy and covered with mold.
But the water is always a little too hot,
Or else it's a little too cold.

I live in a pen with five hogs and a hen
And three squizzly lizards who creep in
My bed, and they itch as I squirm, and I twitch
In the cruddy old sheets that I sleep in.

In you looked down my throat with a flashlight, you'd note
That my insides are coated with rust.
I creak when I walk and I squeak when I talk,
And each time I sneeze I blow dust.

The thought of a towel and soap makes me howl,
And when people have something to tell me
They don't come and tell it--they stand back and yell it.
I think they're afraid they might smell me.

The bedbugs that leap on me sing me to sleep,
And the garbage flies buzz me awake.
They're the best friends I've found and I fear they might drown
So I never go too near a lake.

Each evening at nine I sit down to dine
With the termites who live in my chair,
And I joke with the bats and have intimate chats
With the cooties who crawl in my hair.

I'd brighten my life if I just found a wife,
But I fear that will never be
Until I can find a girl, gentle and kind,
With a beautiful face and a sensitive mind,
Who sparkles and twinkles and glistens and shines--
And who's almost as dirty as me.

dell, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link

dude this is basically true about everybody

yeah, but there are those exceptions-- not even classic type-A personalities, but more just people who are on some self-ordained mission in life, and who get their shit accomplished lickety-split.

i am in that subset of people who would never be bored when they retire...like i can always find something to do, but one of the problems is that i tend to gravitate towards least path of resistance stuff. so i genuinely enjoy and appreciate my "free time", but not much of it is spent doing things of consequence that would be fulfilling in some long-term sense (creative pursuits, other stuff that i know would be valuable as far as lol "personal growth"). i've regressed to being 19 years-old or thereabouts.

i am going to hang out this evening with a friend who is ex-military, and he does stuff like exercise in a gym everyday, even when he is traveling. i find that part of him to be completely intimidating.

dell, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

How long has he been ex-, though? I used to know someone who said that for months after his discharge it didn't occur to him NOT to get up at 7am for a 6-mile formation run and some push-ups, but I can testify that he shook off the straight-lacing eventually.

Um, he's been out for...a dozen years, probably! He is a wonderful guy in countless respects, but he does still retain this edge which I'm pretty sure came from his military years, and which comes across as a rigidity in his personality that I sometimes find irritating. I could care less about his dedication to working out; I'm glad that he does something on a regular basis that obviously makes him feel good...but sometimes, agh, he can be a little frustrating.

Come to think of it, even before he went into the military, he had a weird side to him...like he would insist on playing an album side all the way through-- absolutely no skipping around tracks! But at the same time he was a "wild and crazy guy", like funny punk rock-ish haircut, uninibited as far as walking up to strangers and behaving like some mash of Jim Carrey/Robin Williams, etc.

A complex man!

NB, any complaints I have with him are probably due to me feeling like he harbors the notion that I am some loser because of my habitually dissolute lifestyle...

You can clean the outside area and just inside the ear canal with a q-tip but don't push it far into the ear canal or you could puncture your eardrum. I have a punctured eardrum (from something else) and believe me, it's not fun.

Agreed. You don't need to pee into a bowl full of water, you just need a rinse when you're done, basically. The different flushes for #1 and #2 people are onto something.

i got one of those bleach+blue tabs for my toilet bowl and then i was immediately afraid that my cat would drink the water. it says the water isnt harmful to pets on the thing, but how can it be effective at bleaching and also not harmful to a cat's innards? anyway, all my contribs to this thread would be pet-related and car-related, i keep my actual apartment pretty clean (except for waiting to clean up the hairballs)

You have a thing you put in your toilet?? Pretty sure that's the opposite of dirt bag!

My toilet bowl is full of black streaks/specks that I think are mildew?? Weirdly enough it's not showing any other signs of erm, use, it's perfectly clean and white otherwise, but the mildew colony is going to be drawing up a Declaration of the Rights of Spores any day now.

at any rate, i am keeping the toilet lid shut 24/7 now lest he poison himself. yeah, the toilet bowl drop-in thing was not meant to be dirt bag; as i said, i keep my apartment very clean. all my dirtbaggery is car-related, and a result of pet ownership (stuff like everything i wear being covered in cat hair)

I collect my beer empties b/c you get 3kc (about 15 cents) for each bottle you bring to the store and it's only 14kc for a beer. The only problem is that I'm lazy so the bottles collection always gets pretty big before I finally bring it to the store, so usually about half the bottles have horrible smelling mold residue at the bottom when I dump them out into the sink before putting them in a bag.

I am up to about seven years on this, but my house now has a lot of shelves in the closet I have been using as impromptu drawers

I have wrist braces on both arms (lol broken wrists) so I have been using mostly paper plates and doing a half-assed job of rinsing out glasses. Thinking of switching to red plastic cups that I have a surplus of. Clean laundry sitting in a stack because folding is difficult. Lawn unmowed. I've been using those wet hand wipes they have at bbq joints to wipe off my fingers.

I think I just kicked a couple condom wrappers under my bed instead of picking them up this morning. Kind of scared my stairs have cat hair tumbleweeds. Car smells vaguely of spilled Red Bull.

― ⚓ (gr8080), Saturday, October 8, 2011 7:36 PM (5 months ago)

cockroach situation in my place has been really, really good lately. very few sightings, considering they're everywhere on this island.

however, this morning, my only clean work clothes were a wrinkly disaster (via dirt bag style). so i got my iron and ironing board out, only to discover that four or five cockroaches were living INSIDE THE WATER TANK OF MY IRON (it is a translucent tank so i could see them). already late for work (via dirt bag style) and left with no other choice, i heated up the iron and decided to get the wrinkles out of my clothes as fast possible.

but the ~*STENCH*~ of hot, steamy, cockroach shit/piss/bodies/etc that blasted my face was one of the most horrific things i have ever experienced in my entire life (made worse by the fact that due to high winds lately, all my windows were closed for the first time in years).

gotta buy a new iron after work.

thank god my clothes didn't retain the smell (i think).

the place i live in we had to wait extra days for the landlord to get cleaners in because of the state the previous inhabitants had left it in. notably they decided cleaning the bathtub was enough of a non starter that instead they put in a new one. mainly things were fixed by the time we got here however several weeks later i had cause to move the bed away from the wall to look for something, and discovered not just a patch of used condom wrappers but also used condoms, also a used tampon buried in several layers of toilet roll

You're not allowed to leave furniture behind. W/ my current property mgmt. company, if you do, you are charged a $200 clean-up fee (this company does do security deposits; companies that do would retain part of your deposit). In the past when I rented from individual slumlandlords who owned only a building or two, you could ask them if it was OK to leave furniture behind and they would probably say OK unless it was gross.

my doctor said the official rule is NEVER put ANYTHING in your ear INCLUDING q-tips (thats how i got too much wax plugging up my eardrum)

but if you HAVE to use q-tips, try and be conscious of how you use the q-tip: use it like a shovel, not a battering ram.

also, things like tiny screwdrivers, keys, paperclips are terrible ideas because of bacteria and chance of cutting something

one month passes...

Cleaned out my car last night in a mall parking garage while I was waiting to picuk someone up from work. I didn't want to put my trash in any of the plastic bags I had in there, since thy come in handy as trashcsn liners around the home, you know? So I just started marching handfuls of car detritus over to the trashcans near the entrance. At some point, a young couple posted up.at the trashcan I'd been dumping all this stuff in, and I caught myself mumbling under my breath about "stealing my trashcan. The robitussin I'd taken earlier in the evening no doubt played a role in all this.

Anyway, carrying armload after armload of car trash, including the contents of a bag of Bugles I had spilled all over the passenger side on New Years' Eve, struck me as pretty dirtbag. I was self-conscious about it, but I had to do this fuckin thing, you know? It had been one of the new years resolutions to get the interior clean,and so I madeprogress on that. But I was so stoked when I found this can on Pepsi Max that I dsnt even know I had.

i crashed at two friends apartment once like 7 years ago and when i took a shower in the morning i noticed all these pennies and nickles and dimes on the floor of the shower

i asked one of them why that was and he said that the other dude "falls asleep on the couch with his shirt off and all the spare change that falls out of his pockets sticks to his body and doesn't come off until he gets in the shower"

Let me...is anyone eating? You might want to put that down and swallow really well.

I just pulled the insoles out of my work sneakers and I don't wear socks, okay? I put the insoles in a bowl with hot water and ammonia and the ground-in skin just FLOATED OFF in rafts. It was amazing. I don't have time to wash the shoes themselves because I need them tomorrow, but I WILL SOON, because SATISFACTION!

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Monday, 10 March 2014 03:34 (ten years ago) link

not wearing socks with work sneakers is some dirtbag olympics-level training. kudos.

╲╱\/╲/\╱╲╱\/\ (gr8080), Saturday, 4 October 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link

i agree with that. i got these wool blend socks from costco i probably wear 3x or so. they never smell. i am a confirmed dirt bag though.

your gf is correct

⌘-B (mh), Saturday, 4 October 2014 17:10 (nine years ago) link

I've got a half-dozen of these, but I hadn't even considered wearing them twice before a wash, much less 4 or 5 times.

My parents visited last month and left a half a quart of ice cream in the chest freezer that happens to be in my garage. Now most of the time when I come and go that way I stop to eat some of it right out of the container using a giant screwdriver because I can't be bothered to bring a spoon down there.

I tore the crotch of my corduroys when I was at work a few weeks ago, so I went to the bathroom with a roll of duct tape, turned my pants inside out, and taped them back together. luckily my shift ended an hour later and I don't think anybody noticed.

on another occasion I forgot to wear my belt to work, so I looped a ziptie between two adjacent belt loops to keep my pants from falling down. I cut off and replaced the ziptie every time I went to the bathroom.
