I'll admit to "down twinkling" in 1996-1997 but sometime during hour three of a random consensus meeting about NW old growth logging, I decided my time would be better spent finishing up that Computer Science degree.

My gratefulness for the servings of unending comedy is only embittered by the side of #weepforthefuture

In Occupy's defense though, she also shouldn't have jacked their video and put it under her own account.

Not to get all technical, but "rat poison" is two words.
5
I'm ready for the folks behind Spinal Tap to take on 'OCCUPY' and **twinkles**.
Portlandia too.

(Insert "wrap it up" gesture here.)

Maybe Twinkle-Man can parly this onto Letterman.

What's the signal for "douchebag"?

Oh man. In the late 90s I used to have to bake vegan apple crumble to get my lame ass roommates to attend our weekly house meetings (which mostly consisted of me trying to get them to pay for utilities) and could have used some down twinkling back then.

I can't imagine anything more terrible than a procedural meeting with housemates. I'm so glad I'm an adult.

Cat and Beard -- I found the fuse box helps get your lame ass roommates to pay for utilities and disabling the hot water heater will get your lazy assed overdependent psycho bitch girl friend to move out or at least join a health club.

This is tip number 156 from the Portland Guide to Passive Aggressive Living.

Yes, this whole thing reminds me of houses I lived in with other people in the '90's. Minus the whole hand-gestures-in-lieu-of-just-talking part. It would have been surreal in a room with maybe seven people tops in it.

But above all else, those pained, earnest attempts at clear communication and mutual respect undone -as always- by the loudest and craziest among us still taking up all the airspace, and the rest of us acceding to their bullshit because we want to be tolerant of others, or secretly hope that if we give them everything they want, they'll shut up.

I'M MOST AMUSED BY SOME RANDOM PERSON STEALING CONTENT AND SELLING IT ON CAFEPRESS. *UPTWINKLES*

I'm still not sure what's wrong with just using the good old-fashioned, time-tested raised middle finger.

Mystery ruined, thanks again Blogtown!

Also, someone (not me) needs to write lyrics for "Down Twinkles Man" (to the tune of "Downpressor Man," of course!)...

Now that I'm learning so much about the "consensus method", I'm starting to see the value of good old fashioned hierarchy.
18
Ok, what in the fuck is this "down twinkle shit"???
19
Thanks for the laughs you guys! Now I remember why I lived alone for the majority of my 20s!

It's like they had a consensus meeting on the subject of "how not to ever, ever be taken seriously by anyone."
21
Instead of using them for hand gestures, this guy should put his hands on a steak sandwich
22
You mean "its" instead of "it's" as in "its growing popularity..."

Learn grammar, please!

Please wait...
