Working from home? Get a business bib. via core 77

  • I've always wondered if TV newscasters have something like this.
  • Jaded pixel blog server. Please use one of the hosted domains directly to reach the content hosted here. Back to previous page | jadedpixel.com Excellent link.
  • My mother once offerred to make the opposite of these for our parish priest -- two pant legs that could be attached to his vestments, get more ventilation going in the hot weather. Make it so that the priest didn't have to wear pants. It was a sweeter, more naive time.
  • Is this to keep me from spilling my "business" on my casual clothes?
  • This is unbelievably pitiful. How big of an ignoble turd of a man do you have to be to put on a fake suit for your webcam? Not even a WHOLE fake suit - a THIRD of a fake suit! You might as well be a head in a jar full of helium and sugar water. I'm rapidly coming around to the conclusion that, present company as always excepted, most of the people in this country have asses made completely of cheese.
  • asses made completely of cheese Cottage cheese? If so, then you gots that rite, Fesh.
  • Soft, pliable, spreadable cheese is what I was thinking, like neufchatel.
  • Don't they use the same sort of thing for funerals with half-hinged caskets? The bibs, I mean, not the ass-cheese
  • They do use something similar for the dead, with a pseudo-suit that closes in the back with velcro. I don't know how far down it extends, though. I suppose there are makes and models for all budgets.
  • If my survivors bury me in a half-suit with velcro attachments, I swear I will come back and haunt them mercilessly. Poltergeist will look like Pippi Longstocking until I get dug up and wrapped in a proper suit. And no cheap Montgomery Ward's shit! Or every smoky-hot goth girl between the ages of 19 and 35 in a five-mile radius is getting sucked right into the TV. You have been warned.
  • Seriously -- is the above link working for the rest of you? I just get the message I c/p'ed above.
  • Or every smoky-hot goth girl between the ages of 19 and 35 in a five-mile radius is getting sucked right into the TV. Man, talk about your desirable super-power right there. Fuck flying.
  • > Seriously -- is the above link working for the rest of you? yep, no problem. i guess there's a dns issue on your side? the pseudo-suit for dead folk is to avoid problems with rigor mortis, i think. if they bury/display your corpse in your own clothes, they'll have to cut quite a lot of it.
  • I was under the impression that the embalming process eliminated rigor...?
  • Weird. It's forwarding me to http://store.businessbib.net/ where I get the message. That's never happened here before.
  • Is this to keep me from spilling my "business" on my casual clothes? *Head assplodes*
  • MCT I get the same thing. I will try a proxy or something.
  • > Weird. It's forwarding me to http://store.businessbib.net/ where I get the message. this is where i'm forward to, but i can see the content. > I was under the impression that the embalming process eliminated rigor...? apparently not, but i've just read that rigor should subside after 36 hours, so scratch my comment about the half suits.
  • MCT try this link.
  • Fes, we'll do everything we can to make sure your corpose rots away in the finest threads possible. Because I am pretty sure you are serious about the goth-girl thing.
  • Blocked as "Proxy Avoidance: Internet Technology." I hear klaxons. I found it on quid's "via" link, though.
  • Im getting one, and wearing it to my company board meeting. Suggestions on what I should wear underneath are welcome. I'm thinking something spandex...
  • Red long johns all the way.
  • Red long johns with the ass flap open. The front buttons open with a big K painted on your chest in super hero style, and elf slipper foot wear.
  • This link worked for me Jesus, that's terrible! It would make an awesome haloween costume, though. Especially if you wore no pants. Umm, I don't know what you'd be exactly but it would be pretty great.
  • MonkeyFilter: You might as well be a head in a jar full of helium and sugar water MonkeyFilter: We'll do everything we can to make sure your corpose rots away in the finest threads possible. Where's Pete, dammit? This is right up his...alley. Oh, and tell him to pick up his laundry. There's at least 20 pairs of pants in the basket here.
  • The folks at JadedPixel.com need to fix their goddamn links or something. This site is down for me (getting the same message that MCT got...)
  • Fes, I've always thought that folks planning on an open casket should pick out their own clothes before The Big Day, or at least give their loved ones some ideas beforehand. We've got your (non-Velcro'd) back covered.
  • So I could go for, say, tinsel, Christmas lights, and firecrackers? I just want to be really, really dead when I get cremated, thanks. And still put on a bit of a show.
  • Renault, I figure if they're poking around under my skin after I'm dead, why not leave some little pockets of gunpowder around. A quarter pound near my "neufchatel" (see above) and everybody would have fun!
  • Morbid fact re cremation: If you've a pacemaker, they have to remove it first.
  • Not that you'll care.
  • I'm thinkin' that cremation is the only way some of you geeks are gonna get your ashes hauled. Yea, YOU! Freakazoid.
  • Bees is right ... I think I learned that from Six Feet Under.
