Saw a bilingual Canadian sign that read NO LOITERING/FLÂNAGE INTERDIT and I'm losing it over "flânage." Flânage? Like flâneur?? They made it illegal to be a cool 19th century guy???

DETACHED OBSERVATION OF SOCIETY FORBIDDEN

back at it with whatever it is you would call this, but this time it’s Les Mis flavored !!

Imagine you invite your roommate to hang out with you and your lefty anarchist friends and everyone’s having a great time until roommate starts talking how cool Bill Clinton was and how awesome the American military industrial complex is and how great it is that the American military is present in every country and now you’re the guy who brought the neoliberal to the anarchist meeting and also this guy has never once paid you rent.

Hi my name is Marius Georges Pontmercy Bonaparte and I have bicorne hat-shaped hair (that’s how I got my name) the same color as my dad's and golden eyes like the center of the Star of the Légion d’honneur and a lot of people tell me I look like Napoleon (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da heck out of here!). I’m not related to the emperor but I wish I was because he’s a major Great Man of Perfection. I’m a baron but my grandpa doesn't know. I have nice neat calling cards. I’m also a soldier, and I fought in the Battle of Jena-Auerstädt and go to law school where I’m in the first year (I’m seventeen). I’m a Bonapartist (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love the empire and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black silk jacket with weeping willows imprinted on them and a bicorne hat with an army cockade, and a calf length gray greatcoat. I was wearing a red sash under my coat, red carnations in my button holes, and carried several eagles with me. I was walking outside the law school. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of ultra-royalists stared at me. I put up my photo of Corsica at them.
