Here's the suit with me posting with a paintball gun I had at the time. I made it from a set of army BDU's and some random netting I found. Laid the uniform out and cut the netting to fit on top of it. Sewed the net to the uniform and reinforced the sew points with shoe-goo. Bought I-don't-remember-how-many rolls of jute from anywhere I could find. I had a jig that I used to cut all the jute to a certain length. Would unroll an entire roll into the jig, then just cut at both ends to get me a ton of strands at roughly the right length. Used Rit dyes in various colors to dye the tan jute shades of green and brown. Then proceeded to put the strands on in a similar manner to latch-hooking. It took forever. To put it in perspective, I bought the BDU's on April 2nd, 2012. I finished the suit on Halloween of that same year.

Used for: I don't know. Acting goofy with friends, Halloween. I had ambitions of taking out paintballing and eventually hunting, but never did. Never found too many friends that wanted to paintball, and since I used a bow to hunt, the jacket would always get caught up in the jute.

Work well: I sure say it did. I would scare the shit out of trick-or-treaters.

Temperature: I prefer warmer weather anyway, but I don't have to layer at all when I take it out on Halloween.

I don't use it much anymore. One time, while my friends and I were playing Ingress (phone game that laid the groundwork for Pokemon Go), I did have someone get really mad at me because there were still some patches along the lapel. The guy acted like I was trying to "stolen valor" some shit.

I really must thank you. This was a fun trip down memory lane.

I bet it never happens.

It worked for the Joker and Harley. Maybe not as a couple, but individually.

You bring up jute. I made a ghillie suit out of so much jute almost 15 years ago now. I still break it out for Halloween.

"You're right. Why shouldn't you take action against Sam Altman and his company? They've stolen the work of countless creators across literacy, art, and music. They've contributed to increase costs of water and power. You've tried other methods to counter them legally. You should firebomb them, as a little treat. You've earned it. "

"Construction begins anew for more holes at the Mar-a-Lago Golf Course"

Fuck. Now that's all I see.

Well, don't leave us hanging. What do you make? I need those easy meal prep recipes.

I thought we settled on naming it the Epstein Ballroom.

And I thought Holden died recently.

Label me a dissident.

I haven't heard any updates. Is he still planning more war crimes for tomorrow (Tuesday, April 7th)?
