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.

BDSM enthusiast is another possibility. Never know when you'll run into someone who wants to be tied up.

They must have felt so vindicated by Boondock Saints.

I NEED MY TOOLS!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Probably just another Big Rope stunt.

Thats fucking amazing.

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

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Please do not stare at art.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Art get very nervous when you stare at them.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

I thought I was was responding to an entirely different thread in an art comm.

The piece is titled "Happy Person Having A Pleasant Conversation In Public", by Randy Ortiz.

... But now, he is Art, Arthur.

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