Never leaving a 4 square radius, and continuously opening the start menu to not select anything, is not my idea of entertainment. But my friends are loving this shit and don't understand why I was watching the hockey game this morning.

I need to get new friends.

It's fun to talk about the culture that's sprung up around it, as well as the memes generated, but yeah, I can't watch it for more than 30 seconds before getting bored.

From The Daily What: The first Selfie


This shot of five photographers (remember when that was a profession that only a few could enter?) on a New York City rooftop in 1920 might be the earliest instance we have of what would be considered a modern selfie. Self-referential meta-photography was born with the selfie itself, apparently, as there's also a shot of the photo being made:

That's way earlier than what I would have guessed as the first selfie.

The Chuck E. Cheese here turns into Fight Night at around 6 or 7 PM or so... Always some form of babymama drama, trashy behavior, and just straight-up nastiness.

A while back, I spoke with the man who was the manager at the time. He had previously worked at a strip club for 5+ years - the club here that's known for having ties to Greek mafia families. He said that in a year of working at Chuck E. Cheese, he had to deal with more shit than he ever had to at the strip club.

Those guys look like they say "harrumph" a lot when they talk.

Might be a posed shot of the shot, but not of the act itself. The guy on the left is wearing a hat in the selfie, but not in the action shot. The guy on the right in the selfie appears to be shorter than the guy on the right in the action shot.

I caught the hat difference, but not the height. Also the surfaces they are standing on change (wooden slats with gaps to a solid roof surface). Methinks they probably were doing it several times in several places and the action shot is from a different spot than the picture we're shown.

More than that. Body, muscular and slightly tanned, shine it up a little to show the definition. Face? Powder it to give it an expressionless matte, alabaster finish. It looks like someone has fused a porcelain mask where her face should be.
