Bouncer for an upscale outdoors clothing store in soho: yeah, when you have $1200 jackets like some of these places do, I guess paying a bouncer is worth it. This store was the funniest piece of pretentious crap I've ever been in. Hands down.
Every last piece of clothing had some inscription on it like "Team Leader, North Pole Expedition, 2003." On my way out I told the bouncer what I thought of it. And you know what? He lost his composure and burst out laughing.
"I know exactly what you're talking about man," he said. We had a good laugh together about whether or not they were planning to open North and South pole locations...so you could buy this stuff after, you know, you had actually done what it proclaimed to the world you had.
