Singles Wallpaper

Soo...Couldn't you just put up a picture of your friends?

Wouldn't you get jealous that they never grow old or look rough in the morning?

"Couldn't you just put up a picture of your friends?"

What friends?

And what if your friends are all ugly? Or in your head?

If I ever get this lonely please shoot me.

And just to head things off, only AFTER I get lonely enough to purchase this - not a second before.

Even if you did have to sink to this level in order to achieve friends... would you really want friends that boring? That all they do is sit there and stare at you!!!

:gulp:

Why did they think we'd want pics of people we don't know of on our walls? Why not just wallpaper the walls with your fave celeb?

I don't think I'd want wall-friends that look like they were cut n' pasted out of a magazine. I'd like my wall-friends to have more character.

It would give new meaning to being a wallflower.

I think some male singles already do something like this with Playboy centerfolds...

Hey Charybdis, I'm including a little blurb about singles wallpaper in my book, and your one-liner is way better than the lame thing I came up with. Can I steal it? In return it'll get you an official acknowledgment at the front of the book!

Hot Damn! Of course you can. You hear that people? I'm gonna be FAMOUS!!! Bask in my reflected glory. :lol:

I had a cousin who bought several of the door-sized posters of The Beatles (many years ago, but you knew that), and pasted them over a full wall in her bedroom. Those posters are worth a lotta money now, unpasted of course. One favor, please, Alex... do not use any Stephenisms in your book...it just wouldn't be right. Wanker-Free reading, that's my motto. Actually, my motto is "Hold the Pickle, hold the lettuce", but I don't get out much

Can you imagine inviting a girl over to your apartment and her seeing this wallpaper on your walls? The chick straddling the chair, the dude with the record player. I think there's few ways to freak her out quicker.

I think what they mean by Singles Wallpaper is that if you get this you'll STAY single.

Thanks, Charybdis. As for Stephenisms, none that I'm aware of have yet made their way into the book.

The Words of Raoul are for all the world to be sharing, you know? But, I do not think a book is the place for Raoul's Words... I am now thinking a great, large statue of Raoul, no? The Raoul Channel. Raoul Today magazine. Free tatoos of Raoul on the bottoms of all the beautiful women at the beaches... Radio Raoul... don't stop me now, Okay? Ha ha ha. Rrrraoul

All I can think of when I see this is that you'd turn a corner and be startled by these life-sized pictures in the semi-darkness on a regular basis. It's bad enough to be living alone without momentary adrenalin rushes when you think someone's broken into your house.

LaMa sez:
"I think some male singles already do something like this with Playboy centerfolds..."

Ah, yes, this practice of plastering imaginary friends and lovers on the walls is well known to anyone who has ever visited a male dormitory.

Raoul, you cannot, must not, allow them to publish a magazine in your honour. Young girls would be swooning at the newsstands at the mere sight of your sheer masculinity...and I'm afraid that no woman would be satisfied with another man after a look at you. For the good of the planet, please resist.

re: startlement: Spot on! I worked in an office where someone had installed a couple of "standees" (technical term for those lifesize promotional cutouts) sitting at one of the break room tables. They startled me every day for a week or two, and then just on Mondays.

Um...isn't this the same sort of self-congratulatory concept used by Robert DeNiro in "The King of Comedy"? Well, I guess I have just posted nothing new since the self-handshake has already been mentioned.

I think maybe this is more of a cleverly conceived pre-psych analysis tool developed to flag potential delusions-of-grandeur cases. I mean, if you're going to the lengths to make yourself feel wanted and popular, maybe you already are predisposed to be like that, and the world hasn't caught up with it yet?

Predisposed to be wanted and popular?

Well, that's going to be scuppered by having this sort of shite on your walls, isn't it?
Jeeez, that would terrify me.

i can think of nothing more terrifying then having some faces constantly learing at me out of the walls, it would eventually push me over the edge and aid my mental breakdown

The fact that those wallpapers are always there and spying on you just freak me out.

Great thanks for this post, will check for site updates.

It'll be quite scary especially when someone is staring at ya all the time :D

It'll be quite scary especially someone is staring at u all the time. :D

Hot Damn! Of course you can. You hear that people? I'm gonna be FAMOUS!!! Bask in my reflected glory
