Trilobite Minions at the Montreal Pop Festival Esprit d'Escalier.

I was at the park chalet and for some reason, I wanted to go to the Montreal Pop Festival. I was not quite sure if it existed or why I would want to go. I considered putting together a flyer which listed the bands: Cornershop, the Streets, Flaming Lips. Perhaps they would show and I would be able to rock out.
Showed the ornate Octupus/Squid stairwell and she thought it was a Trilobite. I bet they wanted to use that word all day. We discussed the merits of the word minion.
At this point although I met with represenatives from the Oakland Raiders, I do not think I will be playing with them come the fall but stranger things have happened.
People in France have a phrase: "Spirit of the Stairway". In French: Esprit d'Escalier.. It means that moment when you find the answer, but it's too late. Say you're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party? As you start down the stairway, then - magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put-down. That's the Spirit of the Stairway. The trouble is, even the French don't have a phrase for the stupid things you actually do say under pressure. Those stupid, desperate things you actually think or do. Sent at 5:26 PM on Wednesday |
