You know, if I’m walking around work all morning with my **back pocket sticking inside out** , could you please fucking tell me? I do not enjoy looking like a SMACKED ASS all day. Same goes for my shirt collar not being buttoned - I sometimes forget in the morning rush, so no, it’s not a fashion statement. (And any purient comments about asses and smacking them will involve me smacking your ass.) Esprix ---

What’s a “smacked ass”? I can’t really imagine it from the context of your post. FWIW, I always tell people if their tags are poking out of their shirts, if thats any consolation. ---

Fuck, I must look like smashed rotting maggot filled ass in that case. I wear ripped pants and NBA jerseys to work half the time. ---

I had a nice man on the Coaster this morning tell me that a bird had crapped on my shoulder. Not something I really wanted to hear but it was important information none the less. 🙂 P.S. Sorry about your ass **Esprix**. ---

Ah, I understand. Well: “Your pocket is hanging out, your hair is sticking up, and you have a piece of food on your face. It’s a chicken wing. It’s been there for three days.” Better? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Blonde \* > **Band name! Odd, I haven’t heard that expression either…** Neither me, but everyone around me is going to be hearing it until I get tired of it. I had to tell a friend about her dragon breath once, **Esprix** , and she ended up _thanking_ me… so know that I can be counted upon to always let you (gently) know of your smack-assedness. ---

What sort of folks do you work with, **Esprix**? Nobody playing the “My gaze is not now, nor has it _ever_ been, directed at **Esprix** ’s round, firm, and usually sensibly-dressed bottom. No sir, most assuredly _not_,” game, I hope? ---
