so you think you're cheap

because the wonderous and wacky world we live in is not surprising enough, here's some nuts (literally) to accompany the cherry-and-cream-on-top.

so there i am, walking towards my apartment when i see a couple walking in front of me stop - no, emergency brake - and stare. ok, so the new agey-foyer is decent, effectively misleading for the matchbox torture units within. i trot along, mind my own business, head up to buzz myself in, and but of course, why am i even surprised anymore by now?

there are five grown men - mainland chinese business goons sort, very uncle and everything - standing around in their matching top and bottom flannel pyjamas. two are meddling about near a power point. two more are standing around the fifth guy, who's sitting in a chair they must have brought down from their place, not that i see the chair because it and every part of this guy but his head, is covered in a big green plastic sheet. there is newspaper laid down under and all around the sitting guy. rightt. i see power point guy 1 and 2 shaking the non-life out of an electric razor. so it doesn't take a genius to realize... they're about to go off on a DIY haircut session! in the middle of my apartment foyer! at 8 at night.

it was quite a sight. picture it all dark outside. a minimalistic, primarily white foyer flooding in ample white light. and floor to ceiling glass doors seperating these madmen and everyone else outside watching. it must have looked like some primitive science experiment taking place in a life-size aquarium. maybe sitting guy lost a bet or something.

this is way more interesting than plodding through muddy gunk of global scepticism and a priori knowledge. ok, i'm just saying that cuz i'm allergic to exams. but still.

i wonder what sitting guy's hair looks like now. this would DEFINITELY qualify for rove's 'what the'!
