things to do in Denver when you're dead, 60

Origami. If only because it gives you an excuse to sit around buck naked under a nice silk kimono.

Plus, swans!

Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu!

    Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.

  2. lilida says:

    Do you mean cranes?

  3. bastiches says:

    Kimono literally means ‘wear thing.’ Not so exotic is now, huh?

  4. Jeff G. says:

    Cranes, swans, whathaveyou.

    I’ll figure it out when I’m dead. And own a kimono.

  5. lilida says:

    I’ve made hundreds of cranes. It was an art form my mother taught me. I also own a kimono. And I still haven’t figured it out.

  6. Cowboy says:

    Paper, check.
    Honey Badger Origami instructions, check.

    . . . kimono? Is this part necessary? It seems the transition from hair shirt to silk out to be slower.

  7. LBascom says:

    Origami is a fun word to say. I think that’s the only reason to take it up, besides being dead. It’s so you can say “yeah, I do Origami.”

  8. mojo says:

    Gozaimas!

    Do newspaper hats count?

  10. LBascom says:

    Once I was at Bennihanas and commented on the napkins, and the waitress brought me some eel sushi.

    I think I said it wrong.

    YOU BUY WADDED UP PAPER NOW!!!

  12. Here at the Buffalo airport tanning parlor and live bait emporium, there’s a tiny asian lady in unreal platform heels and jeans so tight they have zippers all the way up the legs. Sounds better than it is, actually. She’s with a guy who looks like that guy who played the crazy subway ghost in ghost. You know, John Smallberries

  13. I also own a kimono. And I still haven’t figured it out.

    I think it requires two people. Had to wear one once for a show cause they wanted to be as authentic as possible. but they cheated on the obis cause they didn’t want to spend all day dressing everyone. so the obi snapped on or had a hook and eye scheme of some sort.

    At DIA, when dealing with the employees earning $9HR, I always pay for my coffee etc with one dollar bill origami and the rest in exact change… leaving a dime for a tip
    The leftover hate from the Bush years is palpable.

    lilida –

    I used to own a kimono, but I gave it to some girl that I wanted to multi-task with.

    That wasn’t you, was it? I hate to be forward, but there is still a very large grey area in my life. It seems to stretch for about twenty years.

    Who knows? Maybe you’re not even a girl. That shit happens sometimes when you’re on the web…

    And just out of curiosity, is it Lilly – Dah, or Lye-Lee-Dah? Or maybe Lye-Lye-Dah? Or maybe Lee-Lee-Dah? Lee-Lye-Dah?

    Gosh, Beav! Those flashbacks are so unprofessional. I was wondering where all that smoke was coming from, and after a dilligent search, it is apparently coming out of my ears.

  16. zino3 says:

    “YOU BUY WADDED UP PAPER NOW!!!”

    As the ad says – “Priceless!”

  17. lilida says:

    zino3 — I wasn’t that girl. Mine came from my mother. It really does take at least two people to put a kimono on, and mom always helps me. And there is a proper way to wear the obi — too low and you could be seen as “trashy.” So many things to consider when putting a kimono on. BTW, lilida is a combination of my first and last name.
