Like a super-villain, I’ve been putting together a group of weirdos. Weirdo guitar pedals…. anyways, I found this one company that only makes weird shit..
This pedal is so goddamn weird, if it was a movie scene, it would be Micheal Keaton in the original Batman, trying to “out-act” Jack Nicholson.
“you want to get nuts???? come on,,, let’s get nuts.”
Too weird, and expensive. Unusable. So I wrote the company a very friendly email,
“hey guys,, can I uh, can I exchange this??? it’s too goddamn weird”.
The rep writes back.
“he/him” The guy has his pronouns in his email signature.
I felt a moment of twinge in seeing this.. I had to think about it.
I come from the old way, I realize that. And this is a company of creative weirdos making weirdo shit. I’m a weirdo too and I also see it’s just a company trying to be “cool”, however evolving that word is.
I work construction.
If I put “he/him” in my email signature, people would think I was trying to be cute. (I probably would be).
I love guitar pedals, I love companies that make weird music stuff. SO after about 30 seconds of thinking about it,,,, “you cool ,Tyler” no hate or mockery coming from over here. Your customer service was awesome and your company makes dope shit. I see the signal you’re putting out into the world and I’m not going to be hung up on the fact that you publicly declare your pronouns. Not even going to mock you.
Keep on being you, and making weird shit that I enjoy.

you work for a cool company and I’m just jealous
