Are you sure that's the word you're looking for??
Oh, here I go, correcting terms of someone who commented two years ago...

One of my oldest friends is a Showbiz. He was always on his way to being a Showbiz growing up, and now he's graduated to "borrowing" money and possessions from me and moving to different states.

I know a guy like that. He's worked several construction jobs, used to have a shultzstaffen tattoo but didn't really know what it meant, once stole a Lotus and has broken up with one girlfriend about nine times.
They are now living together. I don't know, either.

Showbiz reminds me of every other Rock and Roll musician I grew up around. I remember falling asleep to covers of every Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, and Guns N' Roses song known among the Mulletkin. Corona and Budweiser may as well have fueled the amperage. A dream is a loud creature.
On topic: what the fuck is with him holding his gun hand around the wrist?? Straight up insecure, that symbolism.

Showbiz is the kind of guy who would procure only the largest revolver he could find. After breaking his wrist twice, and nose once, he now knows the proper grip to not ruin his own shit.

I don't know that he's pretending to hold a revolver...I think it's a pump-action shotgun. Notice how he shucks the used shell out with the sound ch and slides a new one in with the chk.

Showbiz is of low mind.
Showbiz and Beef came from the same Circumstances. But Showbiz didn't have a friend like Ray.
I can't see how having a friend like Ray would make you smarter. Except by comparison.
Beef may not be super high-class, but at least he can appreciate some brie.
Mmwatcha say...
But Ray drinks it all, he sees the big picture. Showbiz is small-time. He would probably want Al Pacino to pay him back for those peanuts.
Showbiz is of Mariana Trench mind.
But that would make him deep.
That play on words just rendered me sterile.
I'm sure you'll notice a...vas deferens...in your sex life.
Oh shit I had to read that three times before I understood the brilliance of your pun
Yet also hella far from bright.
Deep and low are much akin in literal meaning, much opposed in this context though.
You know how people talk about laughing so hard they cry?
I did not think that was possible until today.
Chubbied for making me cry at a funny thing.
Well, improving someone's mood can often be thought to be a plus. I suppose it is a shame that I don't really get the humour of it myself however.
