This Is the Thread Where I Say part 17: Intelligence Is The Best Revenge

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 16 August 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago)

YAY! I was listening to "Punk Rock Girl" this morning and I realized that it's the BEST SONG EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.

― na (Nick A.), Monday, 16 August 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago)

EAT FUDGE BANANA SWIRL!

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Mm, when these threads start afresh it's like opening up a brand new diary or notepad full of virgin white paper. I always leave the first page blank though so maybe I shouldn't post until a scroll's worth of screen has been filled...

― na (Nick A.), Monday, 16 August 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago)

I saw the Punk Rock Girl from the video about a month or so ago. That was...weird.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:00 (twenty years ago)

Care to elaborate?

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 15:02 (twenty years ago)

the girl, who plays the Punk Rock Girl, I saw her at a Battles show. She sorta looked the same, sans mohawk.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Someone on this thread has a hot ass. Let's guess who.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:03 (twenty years ago)

It's Huck!

Actually, I have a hard ass, having just scored my first verterbrate-on-vertebrate kill. I'm like, a mouse assassin. It's a job, don't take it personally.

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 15:14 (twenty years ago)

I was listening to Big Lizard in My Backyard the other day. A perfect album, I think.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago)

I downloaded Punk Rock Girl and Instant Club Hit this morning. I also want to find Bitchin' Camaro. Do they have a greatest hits album?

― na (Nick A.), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:16 (twenty years ago)

rodney anonymous was in love with one of my friends. he would leave her messages all the time in his horrible nasal boston accent: "hi, [name withheld], it's raaaahdney. cahl me."

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:17 (twenty years ago)

heh. they also played a TMBG vid on VH1 Classic's Alternative show last night.

i really need to start taping it.

also, i just made another $41 bucks from selling film books! the sale continues!

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:18 (twenty years ago)

they were from Philly, not Boston!

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:19 (twenty years ago)

well, he was living in boston at the time and sure sounded like it.

Nick, What made you think of this thread title? That Elle magazine I was reading this weekend?

― Harold Media (kenan), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Sarah! It's from "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen, which, as I said above, I was listening to this morning!

― na (Nick A.), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I was in the Hamptons this past weekend. I did not see P. Diddy. I am disappointed.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:24 (twenty years ago)

You should ask for your money back.

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 15:27 (twenty years ago)

Did Lizzie run over you with her SUV at least?

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Most importantly though, did you get a sunburn on your ass?

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 15:30 (twenty years ago)

http://members.aol.com/JacMan/puffmase.gif

No, she didn't run me over. I never left the house anyways. I thought maybe P. Didds would cruise by on his yacht or something with mad dancing bitches on the bow and some cristal.

And no, not on the ass but on my bacl.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:31 (twenty years ago)

"Bacl" sounds like slang. Like schizzle my nizzle, but different. We should totally start saying it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 16 August 2004 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Okay.

God I hate children. Well, I don't, but the one who's been in our office all day today (who I complained about on the other thread) has been really making me Barry today. I gave her a simple job to do (on her request) and when I went back for it, she'd abandoned it on the floor and said "I gave up". Little fucking bitch (and I don't care if I should be more understanding, I need to vent at her selfish, self-obsessed, attention-seeking EVILTUDE. Aaaargh.

Thanks for listening. Peas out.

Just remembered that a good many of the paper delivery technicians are retirees. So maybe my insurrection will have to be over before 4 p.m., or whenever the Liver & Onions Blue Plate at Denny's starts.

I know the question was asked on the last thread, but:

I had the best weekend in months. One of my oldest and best friends gets married next month, and this was his stag weekend. Started Friday after work - the upstairs room of a pub, complete with pool tables, booked for the evening, which was great. Then all day Saturday at the best man's home, including playing a game of Triv with questions written by me to suit that kind of group - so that was really very difficult questions on art, literature, comics, music, movies and TV. Even with this bunch of people it took quite a long time to finish - it stayed very close. And we watched Match Of The Day, the classic football show back after the TV rights were with another channel for three years, which made me very happy. I saw some people I don't see nearly often enough and had a great time. I left on Saturday night, as I can't take too many risks, what with having missed so much work time that my job could be in danger, but I'd imagine they were all pretty tired on Sunday anyway.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 16 August 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad you had a good time, Martin. You deserve it.

― Huck, Monday, 16 August 2004 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Rock on, Martin.

say, does anybody want some MST3K tapes?

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Monday, 16 August 2004 19:01 (twenty years ago)

So I made it to LA, and on the first day I was here the Lyndon LaRouche supporters on Larchmont took a dollar from the wallet sitting in front of me at the Farmer's Market and said that this was my 'expected contribution.' Later, I was walking up by Paramount and Desilu trying to get a feel for the neighborhood and some asshole in a Maserati pulled out of the lot and almost ran me down. I gave him the finger, and a little Mexican guy to my left told me that it was Bronson Pinchot. I dunno if I believe him.

Anyway, I've got a nice apartment, no fridge or bed, and jacksh!t to do until my car arrives via transport in a day or two. I'm at the Wilshire library, trying to find a cheap mattress (hard as crap!) and used fridge (harder!) and checking in to realize that I don't recognize a single thread around these parts. Nevertheless, I'm here and bored and will drop my phone number to anybody who's in the area and sends me an email.

This place is incredibly overwhelming.

― x j e r e m y i n l a x (x Jeremy), Monday, 16 August 2004 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Did you check craigslist?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 16 August 2004 20:02 (twenty years ago)

Also, I just emailed you.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 16 August 2004 20:03 (twenty years ago)

Are they official tapes or just ones recorded off the tv?

Well, that job thing was fun.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 16 August 2004 20:06 (twenty years ago)

― na (Nick A.), Monday, 16 August 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago)

A part-time job.

And, no.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 16 August 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago)

alright! juts spent the majority of the last 4.5 hours going thru my books to sell! and i'm not even finished!

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:15 (twenty years ago)

Does it matter at all that I don't WANT to dress like Minnie Pearl?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:18 (twenty years ago)

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago)

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:22 (twenty years ago)

There are some things I'd rather not contemplate.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:23 (twenty years ago)

As such, you'll excuse me, won't you, to go scoop out my brain?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago)

I got really irate today because in the "lifestyles/entertainment" section of the local newspaper I saw this little article about craigslist and I thought, "Geez, what a waste of ink and paper! Why TF is the local newspaper printing an article about craigslist when WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A LOCAL VERSION?!?!" I mean, it's not like Google or Mapquest or Amazon or anything -- it's VERY location-specific and you can't do jack shit on that site unless you've got a local version, excepting occasions when you're planning on actually moving to a locale that actually HAS a local craigslist.

So... yeah. At least I didn't automatically throw the whole periodical in the trash, which is what I did with the latest Good Housekeeping magazine because they were touting LASIK surgery to people in their forties WHO'VE HAD PERFECT VISION ALL THEIR FUCKING LIVES who, because they're getting older and their vision is therefore worsening, just because getting eyeglasses is supposed to be "inconvenient". I'll tell you what's fucking inconvenient, Good Housekeeping -- "inconvenience" is having to be saddled with eyeglasses when you're not even old enough to have lost any baby teeth because otherwise your vision is fucked up, thus designating you as the butt of every tired anti-eyeglass wearer joke ever rehashed from fucking pre-k onward! People who are in their forties who are JUST NOW getting eyeglasses for the first time and complaining about how "inconvenient" it is SHOULD JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP because they DO NOT KNOW what "inconvenience" is! Grrr!

Okay, obv I have some more issues to bring to the table.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:28 (twenty years ago)

(Oh yeah, I'm not reading any more issues of Good Housekeeping. Ever. Ever ever ever. Ever.)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:28 (twenty years ago)

It's the women's magazine of the devil, Dee.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:31 (twenty years ago)

(And when I finished reading the article, I suddenly regretted getting LASIK, because I felt like I betrayed my eyeglasses-wearing brethren or something, and because I felt like I was suddenly being used as a walking advertisement for a procedure that I realize is supposed to be the domain of the vain. Like, I'd have loved to have worn contacts sometime during my vision correction-needing era, but my eyes were so tiny and my prescription so strong that contacts would've left me feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Argh. If I could just strangle every single selfish fortysomething who finds themselves suddenly needing eyeglasses for the first time, who then go and complain about it, I SO would.)

luna, I can completely agree with you there, now. I used to love reading it several years back, when it wasn't as dumbed down as it is today, when articles were lengthier and the font size was smaller. Plus, I would always read it for the Heloise and Joy Behar columns, and now the Heloise column is too short to bother with and I think they dropped Joy Behar entirely, so, yeah. Need to find a new, more age-appropriate publication to sub to now.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:37 (twenty years ago)

I like Jane, but it can be a little... glossy.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 04:54 (twenty years ago)

I can deal with glossy! Glossy is okay!

It's just the "audience at the Oprah show" mentality that I've developed an allergy toward.

So... Jane. Will have to pick up an issue ASAP. Thanks. :)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:02 (twenty years ago)

It's more of a grown up seventeen, I think - still kinda fun, but not quite as hardcore as Cosmo.

Baby steps.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:07 (twenty years ago)

See, I actually liked Seventeen at one time -- when I was eleven, sure, but it was actually once in my "likes" list.

You make copious amounts of sense, sweetie.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:15 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:16 (twenty years ago)

I think Dee should have a regular thread where she violently abuses people and things who annoy her. It's fantastic!

hey martin, glad to hear you're doing better!

luna, i should mail you some copies of 'more' magazine. it's targeted at teenage girls, but it's saucy as well-- it's where all my friends learned about sex. i think it's the perfect balance for a crappy mag: up to the minute fashion stuff, new beauty and makeup things, cool accessories, a bit of celeb gossip, a bit of health and fitness, loads of sex, and some other stuff too. nothing too long, and it comes out every two weeks. i LOVE more magazine. (people here laugh at me for buying it, but then read it whenever they're at my place)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Last night in Bad Girls, Buxton (THE NONCE!) read 'More' magazine.

JSL!

Last magazines I bought = Wallpaper* and Edge. Wallpaper* has a v good section on bookshelves and I am SO intending on copying one of their paintings when I can be arsed.

Punk Rock Girl

One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there
And she almost knocked me dead
Punk rock girl please look at me
Punk rock girl what do you see?
Let's travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl

I tapped her on the shoulder
And said do you have a beau?
She looked at me and smiled
And said she did not know
Punk rock girl give me a chance
Punk rock girl let's go slamdance
We'll dress like Minnie Pearl
Just you and me punk rock girl

We went to the Phillie Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "Well no
We only have it iced"
So we jumped up on the table
And shouted "anarchy"
And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was "California Dreamin'"
So we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

She took me to her parents
For a Sunday meal
Her father took one look at me
And he began to squeal
Punk rock girl it makes no sense
Punk rock girl your dad is the Vice President
Rich as the Duke of Earl
Yeah you're for me punk rock girl

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us
To a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said "He don't work here"
We said "If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'"

We got into a car
Away we started rollin'
I said "How much you pay for this?"
She said "Nothing man, it's stolen"
Punk rock girl you look so wild
Punk rock girl let's have a child
We'll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eating fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We'll travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl

Ha ha, it never dawned on me that the "On such a winter's day" line was a quote from "California Dreamin'." I just thought it was more wacky lyrics.

― na (Nick A.), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 13:38 (twenty years ago)

I bet it's not as good as Wood Beez by Scritti Politti.

Do More still do 'position of the fortnight' colette? I remember thinking when I still read it that they were surely going to run out of positions eventually...

I too learned a lot about sex from its shiny pages. Cannot stomach any magazines nowadays though as all full of advertising and edvertising for things I either don't want or can't afford or both.

Wayne Brady put in a cameo appearance in my dream last night. for some reason, he had this jheri-curl hair thing going, looking a lot like Rocky Maivia/The Rock did when he first showed up in the WWF in 1996. Kinda this pineapple-head look.

i remember yelling after him, "hey, where ya goin', you jheri-curl wayne brady motherfucker?" as he wandered away.

i don't know why he was there.

My sister is in town, which is stupid, because I spent most of the weekend hanging out and drinking beer (and I was also working, covering a minor, but surprisingly terrific, music festival, I love drinking beer on the job, but not getting ripped, because that makes the work part of it hard, but getting good and loose makes it easy. I should see if they'll let me drink beer at my desk, maybe I can draw up a pie chart showing how much better my work will be if I'm inured against giving a shit) and now that's pretty much all she wants to do.
"Sis, that's so two days ago."
And she wants me to move to Vancouver.
I don't want to move to Vancouver.

― Huck, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 14:42 (twenty years ago)

And, on the weekend, I lent $20 to a guy who has long been the only other comedian-wannabe in town with any kind of drive to actually do it, instead of just waiting for someone else to do shit and piggy-backing on that. So I was like, hey, maybe if I lend him $20, he'll call me and we can start working on some shit, and maybe even I'll have an actual friend in town.
Then last night, I was thinking about it, and now that he owes me money, he's probably LESS likely to call me. I'm such a sad, lonely, rube.
But! I'm halfway through a comedy bit about how you should never lend money to him. So that'll burn his fucking ass like his name was Luna!

It's a gorgeous day in NYC and I'm bored out of my soft skull. Cubicle life really is a quick way to an early grave. It sucks bag after bulbous bag of droopy dicks.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

the new Hives record opens with this killer 1978 guitar sound. like a hyperstrummed, distorted guitar fed thru a set of chorus, flanger, and phaser pedals.

also, the Paybacks have a new disc out, with a new guitarist. some good stuff, but nothing quite hits the peak of "If I Fell" offa the first one.

Damn, I'm no longer feeling quite so good - it was hard to go to work today, and I'm getting these weird little depressive symptoms, as if I have an uncomfortably tight collar all the time, even when there is nothing near my neck. Still, I did get in to work again, so I guess nothing is badly wrong.

I'm excited about seeing Pink's kitties. :-D

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:10 (twenty years ago)

I totally saw a T in place of K and came THiS CLOsE to flipping my lid.

― Huck, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:19 (twenty years ago)

Why, who is Pint and what is so exciting about her kitties?

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:22 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, this whole going out with Nick thing is a scam.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Is that you, Nick?

― Huck, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago)

Are you there, Nick?

― It's Me, Margaret, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:38 (twenty years ago)

YERSH. Who else would rename themselves after a lyric from, uh, PUNK ROCK GIRL?

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. Nick, I don't even know you any more. You keep changing your user name. Where is my boyfriend??!

x-post - oh yeah

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:44 (twenty years ago)

I'm going all Judy Blume all the time.

― Super Fudge, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:48 (twenty years ago)

I work part time, remember? So yeah.

I just put, like, 90 CDs on Amazon.com. It was data-entry-iffic!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 20:32 (twenty years ago)

I want to sell more stuff through ebay. This house is full of crap, but I'm having trouble thinking of appropriate stuff. And I can't sell Sarah's stuff :) Any suggestions - perhaps unlikely things? Can you sell kitchenware on ebay, say?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 21:10 (twenty years ago)

you can sell just about anything but your own blood.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Okay, this is lame and whiny, I know, but I'm sad cos my best mate doesn't seem interested in going to see AFC Wimbledon with me any more. The main reason this saddens me is because I'm constantly asking him if he wants to come, both eager and kinda resigned, and he hasn't said yes since January.

He's also got a new job which means he can't predict from day to day if he'll be free any evening, which means one of my favourite ways to relax, going over to his to play computer games, just doesn't seem to happen any more.

Anyway, I've used up my moaning ration for today. Hope you're all good!

x-post - I tried to give my blood away last week. I was too late :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago)

You had run out?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 22:20 (twenty years ago)

ah, i love this thread. i'm princess crabbypants this morning, things keep breaking and people keep being jackasses today, and it's only 11:30. i'm sick of it. but i managed to crack a smile for the first time today here. thanks!

(think it was the 'all judy blume, all the time', by the way)

luna, if you really want me to send you some goodies from england, i'll be happy to do so...just email me your addy, and i'll send you the last few issues. anything else you crave from england?

archel, yes, they still do position of the fortnight. we were figuring it out last week that they probably repeat about every two years, since it's probably losely based on the kama sutra, and it comes out every two weeks, and according to my sources, there's 64 positions or so...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:27 (twenty years ago)

I dl the new Black Keys album last night. So far so good.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 11:53 (twenty years ago)

I only managed to listen to the first three songs, but the second one, near the end, where the guitar just explodes, I nearly crapped my pants!

― Freckle Juice, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago)

I love it, I think it may be better than The Big Come Up and Thickfreakness.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

So far it definitely has more of what I loved about TBCU that Thickfreakness lacked.
The K-OS album, not that anyone's interested, he's a Canadian Granola Rapper, is pretty tasty too.

― Otherwise Known As Sheila The Great, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:45 (twenty years ago)

in a better mood now. booze in the middle of the workday is never a bad thing. especially when work pays for it. yay for leaving dos! (boo for good friend at work leaving, though)

We can go together, hand in hand, if you'd like.

Also, I'm totally all for a thread where Dee lashes out.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago)

So, this guy, I guess he's a majoy player in the cdn rock-crit game or something keeps emailing me stuff with his name in the subject line and then the email itself is just like some music-industry thing that anybody who pays attention knew about three weeks ago.
It's a bulk mailout he does, and I've asked to be removed from his list twice. I didn't know at first how I even got on it. Until I noticed I always start getting his spam again after I get a bulk email from some publicist who forgets to make their mail-out list "undisclosed". So this guy is poaching.
SO. I first wrote him yet another little thing saying, "You know, this is pretty ridiculous that you keep sending this stuff to me when I've asked you to stop."
And then before I sent that, I decided to have a little fun.
Now, everytime I get something from him, I'm going to dig out a story I wrote months ago and send it back to him with my name in the subject line. Fuck him. Ha ha ha.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 14:18 (twenty years ago)

as long as our hands in hand don't get ground by the grindstone. ewww. gross mental picture.

Well, fun time is over for me today. Got to go down to the morgue and dig out a bunch of stuff from the 50s.
But I have Friday off!

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 14:33 (twenty years ago)

Hey Guys,

I'm semi-back. When i pick up my computer at tonight I should be able to slowly get back to speed. (last few minutes of off period right now)

Please excuse me b/c i have to vent and my blog's not a good place for this.

I'm so fucking pissed at my ex-ex-boyfriend. We are completelly done now. After lowering the boom on me a few weeks ago, I begged and fought and hoped and finally admitted he didn't want me. He packed up my stuff for me and gave me my key.

We're trying to remain friendly b/c we "care" for each other. i'm trying b/c it's the adult healthy thing to do and also b/c i still love him. can't turn that off.

But i'm telling myself i shouldn't be friendly towards him. He broke up with me while i was in the hospital for a sucided attempt for fucks sake!

this is the 2nd time he's dumped b/c he cna't take the heat of working on a relationship. he said he need to work on himself CHICKSHIT MOTHERFUCKER.

i'm mostly angry at myself for being so fucking stupid that I got back with this useless asshat.

the world sucks. i hate it still and will hnever like it i've decided.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Sam, that sucks. We miss you around here, you should come back. Hugs for Sam.

I am completely in love with Yoplait Whips Yogurts.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:13 (twenty years ago)

dang, sam you totally don't need that. hugs for you and a kick in the teeth for the jerk that obviously isn't good enough for you.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:17 (twenty years ago)

Sam, that's terrible. But I'm glad you're back, you're one of my favorite posters. Mwah!

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm emailing you, colette - PLEASE tell me what I can send you from here.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Sam, I'm so sorry this has happened - what a fucknut. I can say he's not good enough for you, and that I'd like to kick him square in the nuts, but while I mean that sincerely, it doesn't make the hurt stop. I'm here for you, chica, if you need me. Anytime.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

luna, actually, i'm running out of my favorite gum, and won't be back till christmas...so any packs of extra polar ice would be welcome! i'll reply with my address. might not send it out till next week, because i think another issue comes out soon and i'll include that as well.

god, just when i was feeling happier, got an IM from the first guy that bruised my heart a few years ago, and he's breaking up with his girlfriend and moving to england.

so didn't need this today.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:46 (twenty years ago)

OMG, newspapers from 50 years ago are so funny.

he's coming to stay in windsor. and wants to hang out.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:52 (twenty years ago)

and chicago was a big city, but when i went back for xmas, i of course ran into him.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:52 (twenty years ago)

HE'S GOING TO STAY IN WINDSOR WITH THE QUEEN OMG WTF??!?

(sorry, you're probably not in the mood for this. Can you not tell him you're not ready to hang out with him? Or are you less certain what you want from him?)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:53 (twenty years ago)

I live in a pretty small city and I manage to avoid most people. Except when I leave my house.
I mean to say, um. I do see people that I know. People I don't want to see. So I just walk on by. Cuz I'm a cold-hearted mouse-killer.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:55 (twenty years ago)

it'll be ok, it's just that after dealing with my other major ex this week, i didn't expect him to just pop up out of nowhere....

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:55 (twenty years ago)

last night was the Shopping Cart Races in ann arbor. The Rain held off until just before the race began, so we still had a few hundred people wandering around main street around midnight. lotsa crusty punks.

why do all crusty punks have dogs, anyway? whenever you see a pack of crusties, there will always be at least one dog in the mix.

unfortunately, the civil war jug band of crusties from last year was not in attendance, but we did have a three piece of trumpet, accordian & baritone saxophone...

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:05 (twenty years ago)

Sigh. I seem to be annoying everyone today and I'm not even trying to be irritating.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:07 (twenty years ago)

thanks for the hating support. what sucks is i'm tyring to make myself angry, to tell myself he isn't worth feeling bad about losing. . .but it's really hard to. i still love him.

collette, let's just start gunning 'em down.

― Miss MIsery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago)

Sam, I really feel for you. After being together with my wife for 23 years, at the height of my depression exactly three years ago (I am good at forgetting bad dates, but I'm within two days) I tried to kill myself. I almost succeeded. I was unconscious for 36 hours, and they suspected I might have brain damage. When I came round, finally, there was my wife - to tell me she was leaving me. So I know how you feel. As others have said, you know where I am, and you know I care.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Chris V, I love those whips too. Yum! But I try to make myself buy nonfat yogurt. Today I had ORGANIC yogurt, or something... I think this company is nicer to the cows??

Hey, Sam. I'm glad your back, even if it's only SEMI-back. Keep telling yourself -fish in the sea, fish in the sea... You are a free woman now. Get dressed up and go out with some friends so you can not think about this guy for a little bit. By the way, I was going through a button tin the other day and found the hankerchief you put in the 20 things swap. Remember? I really like it.

Everyone, should I buy this purse?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Why can't I get images to show any more?
here is the purse

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:30 (twenty years ago)

NO!
Let me try that again
here?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Yes, Sarah, you only have like 9,000 purses. You need more.

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 17:41 (twenty years ago)

It's true. Buy it.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 18:17 (twenty years ago)

Luna is so wise.

I just checked the users page for the first time in a REALLY long time and I'm 125. That's kind of sad.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 18:47 (twenty years ago)

I just spent most of the day in the morgue digging out cool shit from 49 yrs ago. The 50s were so stupid.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 18:53 (twenty years ago)

Though I kept thinking I should be pulling out stuff for Cas.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 18:54 (twenty years ago)

okay, i've finally spammed a few dozen cowrkers about my moving sale on saturday. i feel so dirty.

then again, i don't think that most of them know that i'm leaving town. i just said, "I'm moving to a new house soon, and..."

we'll see if that works.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:36 (twenty years ago)

I can't wait until I move, which looks like it won't be until next spring.
I'll be like, "Yyyy-eah, I won't be coming into work next Monday. Or the day after that."

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:42 (twenty years ago)

"or really... ever again."

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I think I'll just leave them to wonder if maybe something horrible has happened to me, and then they'll all feel really terrible that they don't know anything about me, like that there wouldn't even be anyone they could call to see if I was okay. That would crack me the fuck up.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:47 (twenty years ago)

But how would you know?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:49 (twenty years ago)

But how would they know?

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:50 (twenty years ago)

This is where Huck comes to the realization that his inability to logically think things through might be one of the reasons he keeps having to put off his escape by a few more months.

― Huck, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:51 (twenty years ago)

Ok give me their number and when you move, I'll start calling every day, increasingly more frantic. That way, they'll know, AND I can gauge their reactions.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:03 (twenty years ago)

I should just post the number here, and then all the TITTYWISERS can call, and they'll be all like "Oh, we had no idea how important and beloved Huck was. We can't believe we wasted the opportunity to get to know and befriend such a standard-bearer of the excellence of the human race. Our lives have been a sham. If only we'd given him a modicum of dignity."

Yes, verbatim.

Huck: So there is this new history of Sask book I saw in Powells, and it's got, like, recent history! Post-1950s stuff! So I was all drooling over it but then I realized it was $30.

So if you see the guy who wrote it, can you ask him to send me a comp? I'll send him a copy of Sask in return or whatever. It's a small province, I'm sure you'll run into him eventually.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 22:37 (twenty years ago)

Casuistry, chances are I know him already, or know one of his frequent collaborators, if it's the guy I'm thinking of. If it's about the recent lake thing, YOU DON'T WANT IT.

Also, at 8 p.m. MDT, I'm on air live, in case anyone wants to, you know, check me out.
www. c j t r .ca

new exciting stuff tonight and old stuff. and stuff stuff. just had dinner with my family. my sister's in town, so like now we have all hang out all the goddamn time.

I hope you emailed me the name of the book or something, Cas.

― Huck, Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Grr... the homeboy with my Toyota on the back of his cargo truck called me and told me that it was ready for delivery. Unfortunately he called from a payphone, and didn't leave a number. So here I am, typing from the library down the street and hoping he'll call me back soon.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago)

Okay, so I just went back to see if I skipped out on reading anything in the process of posting the above posts to this thread, and strangely enough I hadn't. I guess I was just so steamed then that I couldn't even think to respond to anything. Hm. Thank you guys for indulging me there and for actually ENCOURAGING that behavior. A whole THREAD of that sort of thing? Gee. How about I do that the next time something really ticks me off? Sound good to you guys?

Sam, I'm terribly sorry that your ex was being such an ass. If he'd really cared for you, he would've stuck with you throughout your incredibly difficult period of time. I mean, it sounds like your demons are pretty much under control at this time, so you were obv not going to stay down FOREVER. Oh yeah, and we all missed you.

Thanks to Julia, I'm getting more and more into this group called Metric. VERY good stuff, IMHO. I played this CD of their music while I was bathing my little (er, as "little" as 32 lbs of pure love can be) puppy (er, as much of a "puppy" as a seven-year-old can be) and it actually made the whole bathing process enjoyable. I think she (my puppy, just to be clear) even enjoyed listening to it. So yay for "new to me" music!

Take care, all.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

I would buy your dummy in a perfect world. I barely get a chance to hang out with my ukulele, though. ANd I'm working on the paypal shizzat right now.

― Huck, Thursday, 19 August 2004 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I totally kicked ass on the radio tonight. I wound up sticking around for a second hour I was so hot. Though I think I'm getting sick of my theme.

it might be too late, but just wanted to say to sarah that there are NEVER too many purses (or shoes), so buy, buy, buy! if/when you finally find 'the perfect bag', you have to start looking for its replacement, since it will eventually wear out and won't last forever.

this is why i have a suitcase full of bags at my flat.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:06 (twenty years ago)

I don't know why I came to work today. I hate everyone and my brain is full of mucus. Lucky I'm not doing brain surgery or anything. Supposedly I am going to see an outdoor production of Twelfth Night later, but the weather is hardly promising and I don't suppose it's good for a cold to sit on the ground for two hours being rained on. Grr.

Why is it important to have obscure likes?

I was reading the bumsex euphemism thread and then the Smiths came on on a mix I'm listening to and now I keep hearing it as "if it's not love than it's the bum, the bum, the bum, the bum, (etc) that will keep us together..."

I should set up a paypal account. I might like that Wallace and Gromit set, depending on the price...

I got to snuggle with a sweet little cat Sunday night. She nuzzled her head against my cheek and kept pushing against my hand with the side of her head while purring so loudly that I couldn't hear the tv. I wanted to cry it was so nice.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Cats, well, all of the cats I've had, are pretty warm & inviting like that. It was really a great help for me in different times of depression, because the cat seems to know you are down and seems to try even harder to cheer you up, rubbing up against your legs, purring, or sitting in your lap.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:33 (twenty years ago)

and throwing up on the rug.

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:34 (twenty years ago)

This cat isn't especially known for her snuggliness either. She must've really been aware of how sad I was at the time. We were passing around high school yearbooks and I'd been looking at my grade 10 one which contains pictures of 3 kids I knew that died. Two of the cats that live where I was came to see me but the older orange one snuggled with me the most. She had bad breath but it was ok.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago)

I love it when Sarah gets sassy.

My ass is fine, since you asked - although (Kim was right), sort of itchy. THAT'S attractive.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Sorry for all the yelling. But seriously, WHAT IS UP? How come I can't do the good ol' ... any more?

I need a pug.

Whoa. You're right about that. Aw. (xp)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 19 August 2004 19:49 (twenty years ago)

Dee & I should form a gang. (re: the sass)

I know, I must confess, I do love me a good pug. When I found out our downstairs neighbors are moving out at the end of the month, I was heartbroken, but only because I won't be able to play with their pug any more.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 19 August 2004 19:58 (twenty years ago)

At the music festival I covered last weekend, some people brought a tiny little pug who kept getting completely knackered by his leash. It was hilarious.

― Huck, Thursday, 19 August 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago)

teh sassy pugs

― kephm, Thursday, 19 August 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago)

My best friend has one - his name is Boomer and I could eat him up.

I haven't... mainly because I'm not sure what kind of wine goes with pug.

And they live in N. Carolina... well, and I don't eat dog.

but um yeah, he's cute.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago)

you do eat cat though

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 19 August 2004 20:08 (twenty years ago)

Huck: I turned your show off during the last song. Why didn't you mention there was another hour coming? Oh well.

Bryan: Come visit my cat, she is friendly to the max.

Okay okay, I surrender.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 19 August 2004 20:30 (twenty years ago)

If by fuck off, I mean no...

Jeannie, I think we have some business to attend to.

Sorry, Casuistry, I didn't know there was going to be another hour. The next guy didn't show up, I let the automation play for one song while I attended to some business, then I jumped back in the booth. I'm sure I lost everyone but the lazy fucks who can't get up to turn their radio off as fast as they can.
What was my last song (of the first hour) that made you shut it off? Oh, K-os. You don't like the hip hop? Did you hear the Swedish guy, St. Thomas?

Anyway, I just read the first 5/6s of the most awesome comic book ever. It's called DC: The New Frontier, and it basically puts all classic DC characters into the historical context of their actual first appearances (i.e., dealing with HUAC, Korean War, Civil Rights Movement, Space Race, B-Movies, etc.). It's most beautifully written and arted by Mr. Darwin Cooke, and more than a little expensive.

― Huck, Friday, 20 August 2004 02:05 (twenty years ago)

It was fine, I just wanted to get away from the computer. But I would have stayed, etc.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 August 2004 05:06 (twenty years ago)

Why is it important to have obscure likes?

I think I view it as a way of fitting in better around here. I suppose. Because so many people are able to go off about all sorts of different things and I'm just perpetually in awe of how many non-mainstream things people go on about. And I can't do that. Unless I'm talking about certain New Wave songs I'd listen to if I were actually in the mood for New Wave, but fuck, that's another one of those old, completely non-age appropriate things and I'm sure at least thousands of other individuals have already dissected the tracks in question anyway.

Oh damn. Gotta keep the demons away from here, gotta keep the demons away from here, gotta keep the demons away from here....

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 20 August 2004 05:38 (twenty years ago)

Listening to this Killers album - Hot Fuss and it made me think that Dee would like it much.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 20 August 2004 10:52 (twenty years ago)

I also had one of the strangest dreams of recent memory last night. Probably due to the whiskey I started drinking at 3pm. I dreamt that I was the rhythm guitarist for Metallica. James handed me this guitar that was shaped like a bat. I rocked the concert which only lasted like two seconds. I remember being nervous to go on stage because I had to climb up a ladder 200 feet to get to the stage. After the concert we went backstage and ate fresh fruit. Then I took a dump on a groupie. Weird.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 20 August 2004 11:10 (twenty years ago)

Haha. Matt dreamt that I drowned last night :(
Oh I've just realised that it was probably because we'd just seen Twelfth Night.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 August 2004 11:16 (twenty years ago)

I saw Jeff Tweedy at the Black Dice/Animal Collective show last night. He looked like a little gnome.

hee hee. I can't find a pic of Fogerty's guitar from this album... I wonder how that bit of iconography worked its way into your head.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Friday, 20 August 2004 13:46 (twenty years ago)

I posted this on the celebrity dreams thread, but the other night I had a dream that I sang the Iggy Pop/Kate Pierson song "Candy" with the B-52's at a charity celebrity basketball tournament in a high school gym. I sang the Iggy Pop parts.

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Friday, 20 August 2004 13:49 (twenty years ago)

I just ate a Hostess Chocolate cupcake. I thought I would go straight to hell, but I'm still sitting at my desk. Oh wait, that IS hell.

I think I might be the Baddest Bitch today and work on writing a novel at work. But first, I have to find 700 small fans and 900 shower cadies for the government.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:01 (twenty years ago)

im not doing any work today as I am the head mf in charge. Im reading "Positively Fifth Street" by James McManus.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago)

and i have no idea how the bat guitar worked its way into my dream.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago)

But it wasn't a baseball bat it was a flying bat.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:07 (twenty years ago)

but baseball bats can't fly! HOW CAN THIS BE

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 21 August 2004 17:39 (twenty years ago)

hey, i sold the semi-possessed dummy for $10!

also, a buddy of mine came over to visit and stayed to help. he's currently chatting with some hippie chick on my porch.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Saturday, 21 August 2004 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Old people...they're so old and near death. I spent all day yesterday in either in my brother's car driving (mostly me driving) or visiting with my 89 yr-old g-paw. He broke his foot last week so he can't stand up and his wife is on oxygen, so she can't really do anything, so we all played cards and aired grievances. And then I went out bought groceries for them.
I don't know if it's the driving or the bizaritude of spending time with insanely old people, but I always think of great ideas for stories on my way home from these increasingly frequent visits. Maybe it's Jesus (whose friends paraded past my window this morning singing "sweet" gospel music) releasing me from all my sketchy past, thus allowing my eternal soul the ease to be creative again.
Talked with brother about the idea of providence too.

― Huck, Saturday, 21 August 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago)

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:46 (twenty years ago)

Small dilemma here about my Saturday night. On the one hand I rather like a certain local band which is playing tonight. On the other hand I don't want to spend an evening in a club smaller than my living room with the local scenesters that are bound to turn out to see this band -- most notably a guy I was infatuated with a year or two ago, who tried to sell me on this local band.

So what do you, kind readers, recommend that I do with this evening?

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Right, now it's too late to get to the club in time to see the opening band. So I think I'll go to that second-hand bookstore near Dupont Circle.

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 21 August 2004 23:26 (twenty years ago)

Aw man, j.lu, I would've suggested you go to the club and enjoy the gig anyway, taking in the music and ignoring the ex-crush. Oh well. Here's to discovering that someone's so taken by you at the bookstore that they drop a stack of books.

I LOVE elderly people. I love spending time with them, reading letters for them, fixing them dinner, setting up their medication, listening to them as they tell all sorts of stories. It's little children that I have an allergy towards. Little screaming, scampering, hyper little children. Um, so, yeah.

But I just attended a comfortably casual baby shower for one of my cousins and her husband, both of whom are awesome people, both of whom are actually professionals in their mid 30s, so at the moment I'm sunshiney toward little babies and their parents.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 22 August 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago)

and they're having ANOTHER party in our house. i'm too fuckin' tired for this shit. i don't CARE that there might be attractive chicks here. they're usually all taken and i hate parties where i don't know anybody.

oooh, the olympic track & field chicks all have on hot pants. damn baby, shake it. yeah, shake it like that.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Sunday, 22 August 2004 04:05 (twenty years ago)

holy shit, they're totally playing Jivebunny & the Mixmaster's "Swing the Mood" at the party downstairs. i haven't heard this song in 14 years or so.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Sunday, 22 August 2004 04:31 (twenty years ago)

and now it's some medley goign from "It's a Sin" to "True Faith" thru several songs to Phil Collins' "You Can't Hurry Love"

i wish they'd leave

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:36 (twenty years ago)

Listening to this Killers album - Hot Fuss and it made me think that Dee would like it much.

You know, I'd been wanting to give that album a try based on the fact that I (a.) quite like "Somebody Told Me" and (b.) am biased by the fact that the band is comprised of four Vegas boys, but I wasn't sure if the rest of the album would live up to my expectations or if some component of the band's sound would end up grating on my nerves after listening to one entire album of their music. So you think I would really like it? Pretty cool.

(Also, your Metallica dream is fairly... uh... strange.)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 22 August 2004 08:17 (twenty years ago)

BLANKET FORT!!!

haha - I am SO building a blanket fort.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:28 (twenty years ago)

I managed to get a smidge hungover on a few glasses of wine! Crazy. Also, bleary.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:24 (twenty years ago)

yuck. that's the worst. hangovers are bad enough, hangovers that you didn't even earn are TERRIBLE. and mysterious.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:36 (twenty years ago)

Red wine?

― Huck, Monday, 23 August 2004 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Blanket fort=awesome
Yesterday I had three glasses of red wine and then I went canoeing for the first time. (I wasn't alone, don't worry)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:40 (twenty years ago)

I get those mystery hangovers quite often. I always blame it on 'something I ate' rather than admit that I might be becoming a lightweight. But then it's not consistent - sometimes I can drink a lot and not be affected at all.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:41 (twenty years ago)

And it's raining, too, which makes me feel extra silly for being dehydrated.

It was white wine. Red wine tends to give people in my family migraines, so I tend to avoid it (though it is good).

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:48 (twenty years ago)

Two-buck-Chuck, to be specific.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago)

you people drink too much. these "mystery hangovers" you speak of are called "headaches". you can get them without drinking¡

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago)

Wine gives me a headache and I only tend to drink red wine, so maybe I should try white. Or just not drink wine...

I hate the folks here today. I know, big surprise. During my morning break, this guy who I tend to disagree with on just about every subject told another cat-killing story. He loves to tell stories about killing or eating cats. This one was about a kitten he shot three times to make sure it was dead. HE adopted the kitten from a shelter for his family, but then discovered it had fleas. So, of course, he pulled out his gun and shot it repeatedly until it was dead.
Then this other lady was like, "Yeah, sorry, Sarah, but I hate hate hate cats too. My husband has shot so many cats for me, the barrel gets hot on his gun."

Lovely. And what time is it? Before 11am?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Is that it's real name?
Back during my wino days in the mid-90s, when I was a vagabond, I used to drink this stuff called Rotting Red though I occasionally dipped into ye olde Thunderbird, for historic purposes. During one afternoon drunk-up with my old wino pal Danny, during which we hung out downtown, drinking from paper bags (best time I've ever had in Gi-Town), I applied for a job at a comic store. Bottle under my arm. I didn't get it, but had fun.

― Huck, Monday, 23 August 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago)

what? they actually shoot kittens? oh my god, no wonder you hate them!?! bad people! very bad people! if you don't like kittens, don't have one!

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago)

HOly fuck, Sarah. Those people need to be put down.

― Huck, Monday, 23 August 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago)

ok, so you have me and huck as your army, let's beat these people down. actually, let's tie them in a burlap sack and toss them in the river.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago)

My god Sarah! Round my way the neighbours would have the RSPCA out if you let your cat's claws grow too long, let alone SHOT it. What animal cruelty laws are there there?

xpost: yeah!

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:58 (twenty years ago)

Sarah, do you not have any animal protection agencies you can report these people to?

x-post frenzy!

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 23 August 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Sarah, can you slip rat poison in their drinks at work? No one would ever know...
Perhaps you could contact the shelter and talk to them about this man, so that he can't adopt any more animals from there. I don't know if this works, btw.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 23 August 2004 15:17 (twenty years ago)

It's kind of depressing, but I don't know who would care. And I think he adopted that cat a few years ago, not this past weekend or anything. I don't get it. This other woman in the office who is my age said to me privately on Friday, "Thank god we have (name deleted) here in our office to stand up for us." And I'm thinking, WTF?! IS everyone crazy?! (She was talking about cat-shootin' guy) This is the same guy who on Friday said that the Jews control all money and all media in the entire world and we should fear them. And, of course, that they brought the Hollocaust on themselves. AWEsome! (/sarcasm)

How am I supposed to get any work done after getting all worked up?

Sorry for killing the thread. Nick, you need to get back on here and help me make other folks post!

I've decided I want to have a birthday party. This woman in my office just turned 30 and was upset that people remembered it was her birthday. She didn't celebrate at all, just wanted the day to be over. I thought that was kind of depressing. I hope I never dread my birthday. Oh, let's face it, I'm too selfish for that to ever happen. :-D

I haven't done much work today.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 23 August 2004 18:47 (twenty years ago)

Hip hop kids are so funny.
I just got off the phone with a guy from a local crew and he was all "Thanks, Mr. M__" and all that, I said, "Hey, Mr. M___ is my dad. Just call me Mr."

ANother local hip hop kid always calls me "playa", which is my dad, as well.

Late...early...um, what?

I am sleepy and drugged but can't sleep and so am posting increasingly boring stuff to try to stupify myself into some sort of state of slumber. And that was...onomatopeia? Is that what it's called?

I even have boring movies to watch, but I just get bored with them and turn them off. I should try to go to bed again...

xp, dude, I have no fucking idea what smarts are either. branedead.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:07 (twenty years ago)

Onomatopoeia is what happens when a word imitates a sound it's describing. For example: splosh, squish, shriek, hiss, bing, bang, plop, fizz, zip... I'll stop there.

I think what you're getting at is... shit, I have zero smarts left. Run completely out of them. I think... oh wait, I think it's "alliteration" that you were doing... ? Damn. My brain (or "brane" as all the young kids are spelling it these days) hurts.

I'd try to recommend something, but, you know, same position. Except I took half a Vicodin earlier (really severe pain that's now gone bye-bye), hence I *should* be sawing a million logs in bed.

Grah. I'll only get maybe an hour and a half of sleep, but still, I should head on out. Oh yeah, "grah" is supposed to be onomatopoeic.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:15 (twenty years ago)

See what I said about branedeath at 5 AM? There you go. Not that I actually know stuff during more normal hours, mind you...

xp Hi Pink!! How has everything been?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:16 (twenty years ago)

Hey pink! Apparently I'm the most handsome ILXor :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:17 (twenty years ago)

Hi Julia! Things have been great! I love my new house & I love my new kitties. Life is pretty perfect all in all! How about you?
According to who Mark?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:18 (twenty years ago)

A secret admirer!

Hi Pink, glad everything's going so well, give your kitties a big kiss from me! Will you be able to put any pictures of them and the house online?

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:20 (twenty years ago)

I've got loads of pics of the kitties but I haven't got them developed (yeah i know, digital cam is broken at the mo!) so we took some polaroids last night, but i forget them, duh! I'll bring them in tomorrow, so ppl can see how cwute they are! I apologise in advance to anyone that will take offence to me speaking about my little kitties! They loved to be snuggled archel, so when you come round you can give them big hugs yourself!! Bryan, hope you are ok petal, come round & play with my kitties, they'd love that!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 09:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm keener to see pics of the house, actually - will you be posting some?

Oh, that kitty's just sleepy. Either that, or he's a pirate.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:07 (twenty years ago)

haha, i like the idea of a pirate kitty! Oh & well done on the job front Nichole!!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:09 (twenty years ago)

It's raining somewhat hard over here. Which is kinda ok but it doesn't really motivate me to get my up and going up and going. Does anyone have a ridiculously twee umbrella I could borrow? A Sanrio product or something?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:01 (twenty years ago)

It's raining here too. I don't have an umbrella.
It's been shitty and cold and rainy for the last few days. My apartment is really cold, and I plan on keeping it that way. If the mice are coming in because it's cold outside, I'll just have to make it cold inside too.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I was about half-way to the el stop this morning when it started pouring down rain. I didn't bring an umbrella. I was drenched. Then for a while I felt like a wet dog, but I took off my sweater so now I'm just a little damp and slicked back looking.

I went back out during my morning break for a quick walk. The rain had stopped for a while but it was really sleepy out. I belong in bed or on the couch.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:06 (twenty years ago)

Is it raining EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD?

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

It's certainly pissing it down like an incontinent elephant here. No, i tell a lie, it's just stopped. *prays will hold off until safely on bus*

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:11 (twenty years ago)

It's just like that Madonna video!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:12 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if that's the first time Madonna's been compared to an incontinent elephant? (I doubt it)

I'm at home barfing my brains out for the second day in a row and today would be my 8th wedding anniversary if... well, you know. That makes me sort of sad. Between the barfing, anyway.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Happy non-anniversary, Luna! My sister recently didn't celebrate what would have her 10th.
Good luck with the puking, try to save a few brains, since there's none to spare on this thread.

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:40 (twenty years ago)

Luna, Feel better! (in more ways than one)

A lady at my work told me today that her anniversary was Sunday to her husband (they've been married a long time). Anyway, he was supposed to get home from a trip that morning, but he never showed up and didn't call. He came home late Monday night and said he went to their son's house instead. So, you're better off I guess.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Yeesh.

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Sorry you're a barfing divorcee, Luna. Hugs for you. Um, just don't puke on me k thx bye.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Oh sure, Je4nne, you're all, winky-flirty when she's not pukey, but now that she needs someone to hold her hair back, where are you? WHERE ARE YOU?

(just kidding, I love you, but not like that)

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 20:13 (twenty years ago)

tonight at Spaceland, The Barfing Divorcees, with Melgaldos opening. Tix are $7.

also, je4nne, huck is jealous cuz he wants you to hold his hair back. or his backhair, even. "grab hold, we'll go for a ride! a magical ride, on a Reading Rainbow!"

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 20:18 (twenty years ago)

what if the book slammed shut and all the little boys and girls were trapped forever in a mystical land of dragons and ogres (almost spelt orgies!)? that would suck for them, but it might make for a good after-school special on the dangers of reading.

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 20:21 (twenty years ago)

nah, they wouldn't be trapped. the book covers would slam shit, crushing all the children in its maw. the lucky ones would only lose an arm or a leg, but the others would be flattened, their skulls exploding like a underripe cantaloupe under a steamroller, grey brain matter and dark crimsom blood covering the camera lens.

Anyway, the moral is clear, kids. Stay away from books. Nothing good has ever come from them.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 01:54 (twenty years ago)

Oh, so I got the most awesome book at the library today, that might render the Richard Belzer book currently en route to me redundant. It's called Winning With One-Liners, and it boast "3,400 hilarious laugh lines to tick your funny bone & spice up your speeches."

"No man is an island. But (large celebrity) comes pretty close." Ha!
"Did you ever buy a cured ham and wonder what it had?" Because it's been cured!
Only 3,398 left! Get 'em while they're hot!

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago)

Very good indeed thanks for asking. Wish I was at home with my boy & my kitties, but apart from that all is good. What about you huh?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:52 (twenty years ago)

I am awesome. Probably moving again, which means Huck: 3; Mice: EVERYTHING ELSE. Because I realized that my apt. isn't really that great and doesn't merit my continued assault on the rodentia. Also, my landlord is a dick, who wants me to not tell anyone else in the building that I have mice. "DOn't want to cause mass panic, eh?"
More like, "Don't want to solve the problem, eh?"
Because I'm on the third floor, and I know the difference between mice and bats. So if I have mice, then probably everybody below me does too. But they're mostly social-assistance receivers, single mothers, and just general morons, who probably feel like they don't dare ask for anything from the landlord.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha, Canadians say "eh."

― n.a. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:57 (twenty years ago)

No, this is where you orgnanize the apartment to make the world a better place for your fellow mouseketeers. First you'll try attacking the problem on your own, then you and a neighbor will get some cats, who will have some comic (and cuddly!) interludes. More and more tenants will join in the fight. But the mice will thrive on. Then when things look their bleakest, someone will see a mouse that looks like your landlord, and that will make you realize that you need to fight the REAL enemy. So then you put the cats through law school and sue the cojones off your landlord. You end the day by empowering everyone and feeling smug satisfaction as the credits roll.

But then, at the very end, you see a cockroach, leaving room for a sequel.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:25 (twenty years ago)

Oh that's sounds pretty awful, but hell you gotta move dude, eh?!

So there's a job in cal gar y that I'm thinking of applying for, even though I hate that city. I lived there once.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:59 (twenty years ago)

I am bored to tears, and a bit frustrated, but mostly bored.

So, this co-worker of mine makes a lot more money than me, but lately I've had to do more and more of her work. This one rep called in just now and I said, "Ok, that's so-and-so's job, I'll just transfer you to her and..." and he said, "No! Don't! She's always too busy, so I want you to do it!" Grrr.. So I just sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring? I don't think so. Maybe I'm just more polite on the phone. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I need to try to be more bitchy.

Ok, end rant.

I'm excited about band practice tonight. I'll just think about that.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Huck, if I could find the lyrics to Caligari's Mirror, I would post them. But I can't.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago)

Caligari's mirror.

What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Who do you see in Caligari's mirror?
How do you like those pranksters' cheats so early in the morning?
Hey! hey! Boozie sailors!
Missed the boat,
what to do?!
Hey! hey! Boozie sailors!
Missed the boat,
what to do?!
Hey! hey! Woozie sailors!
What a mess,
tie `em down!

Walked around,
took a bus
Took a bus,
walked around
Took a bus,
walked around
Walked around,
took a bus

What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Who do you see in Caligari's mirror?
Why do you like those pranksters' cheats so early in the morning?
Hey! hey! Boozie sailors!
Missed the boat,
what to do?!
Hey! hey! Woozie sailors!
What a mess,
tie `em down!
Hey! hey! Oozie sailors!
Up she rises,
out the door!

There is a big fat freelance cheque for me IN THE OFFICE!!!
I have been living on my credit card for the last two days (boo hoo, whatever, it's my own fault) and really, really would love to have my money.
Problem: The cheque is not in my hands, nor even in my mailbunk. It's in a stack on the boss's desk. Oh, it's all signed and ready to go, it's just that they get delivered to the boss first so that he can, I guess check them against his records. However, he's not here right now. I know he was around earlier this afternoon, but haven't seen him for a while. His computer terminal is shut down. I "clocked off" 12 minutes ago. How long should I wait? Should I just snatch and run? I do have an appointment in 45 minutes to look at a new apt. Jesus fucking murphy. I guess I can get by another 18 hours.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:31 (twenty years ago)

Take it.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:33 (twenty years ago)

It's just, would that be, y'know, theft? I mean, it's mine, it's got my name on it, but it's not yet in my possession. I mean, if it had been a mail bundle I had picked up from accounting, I could take it, but it's in his possession. 9/10ths and all that. Plus, witnesses. What if someone says "Hey, what are doing in the boss's office?"
Should I say "vacuuming" and then go "wooooo woooo woooo"?

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Mostly I'm worried about getting caught.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:36 (twenty years ago)

But it's MY money!

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:36 (twenty years ago)

It'll be there tomorrow. If you take it now, you'll just spend it on comic books and pixiestix.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:37 (twenty years ago)

I could just easily spend it on those tomorrow as well, I don't see your point.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:37 (twenty years ago)

You have enough in your pocket to everything you need to do tonight, now get out of here and find that apt.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:38 (twenty years ago)

What are you, my mom?

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:38 (twenty years ago)

That depends, did your mom ever put her foot up your ass?

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:39 (twenty years ago)

What are you asking me for? You were there.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:39 (twenty years ago)

Huck is right, Huck. You should wait until tomorrow.

― n.a. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Just take it. It's your check, it's your money, take it. Make a photocopy of it and leave it for your boss.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Ow. Brain hurt. Brain hurt bad. Cramped. Got used to no thinking.

Huck, me say n.a. also right and you should wait to take check, then ask politely to boss why check arrive to you late.

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 21:55 (twenty years ago)

Huck, have you gone mad my dear? Oh & did you snatch the cheque or what?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 07:32 (twenty years ago)

Sorry Kingfish babe, I have central air, but your wit (or "wit") and humor (or "humor") could certainly be helpful to me at this present moment. The demons are haunting me again. This is something I've expressed sorta privately -- it's the one bit I consider most "public":

I also can't fit in with the so-called "misfits", the people who admit to being geeks and nerds and outsiders. They have so much more life experience than what I have and I constantly feel like I can't measure up. I've never been hit on by anyone. I don't know what having sex is like. I've never taken illegal drugs. I don't drink. I don't frequent clubs or bars or go to tons of gigs in small clubs or even frequent coffee bars with open mike nights or anything like that. My pop culture knowledge is expanding, but I still feel inferior on that front. My politics and lifestyle habits are at complete odds. I'm not "alternative" in any way. I am Middle America, straitlaced and unfun and it's really hard for me to NOT be that way.

And that is part of the reason why the demons are upon me and I could really use a really good laugh. Or something.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 26 August 2004 07:35 (twenty years ago)

Except I'm exhausted right now so I'll have to take the demons to bed with me. Good (?) night.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 26 August 2004 07:36 (twenty years ago)

hey dee, I know you don't believe it, but you are fine just the way you are. Just because someone has taken illegal drugs, had sex or knows about music, does that make them a better person? Of course not. You are filled with an endearing compassion, which always makes me keen to read your posts. I wish you could see the potential in you that I can see. *hugs* I'm here if you fancy a chat chica. xxx

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 07:43 (twenty years ago)

Damnit, missed you. Good night & god bless!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 07:43 (twenty years ago)

Any TITTWISers about?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago)

We're all here. The cheque was, sure enough, in my mail bunk this morning. I didn't really have any need for it last night anyway. It rained something awful, but there was really cool lightning during my radio show. Afterwards though I had to walk 35 minutes through a torrential downpour. Seriously, I was drenched through by the time I walked to the edge of the parking lot. I was totally not dressed for it either, though luckily I had a windbreaker, which I used to cover the knapsack full of CDs I had just played. So they made it through okay, I don't think my shoes will ever dry though.
Also, I looked at the most gorgeous apt. yesterday afternoon. It's a little more than I wanted to pay, but it has a fireplace and a balcony and gorgeous oak doorways, and it's in a building where I've gotten lucky in the past on several isolated incidents.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Goddamm, these Americans are lazy-ass mofos. WAKE UP! :)

How's it going, Pinx?

xpost: obviously Huck is excluded from the above statement, as he is not American. Morning Huck. Ooh fireplace. Ooh balcony. Get in!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Boo for getting wet, yay for the cds! Get that app huck it sounds lubberly!
Hey arch! It's going very well indeed thanks for asking. I gotta take my kitties for their vaccinations on sat, which I'm not looking forward to, but they gotta have them. How's you & yours?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:38 (twenty years ago)

Dee, hope your demons have retreated somewhat today. I really second what Pink said. Being sexually active or au fait with pop culture or whatever is NOT what amounts to being a great, interesting, unique person. But I know you know that.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Morning, Archel.
I'm so in love with this apt. My biggest concern is that I won't want to leave, and I'll stay in town with my crappy go-nowhere job and my crappy go-nowhere life, just because I hate to give up my sweet apt.
And the woman who's living there now, she'd probably go for me. I'm such a nerd. The guy who was showing me the place is all talking about the bathroom and stuff, and I'm looking through her bookcases. Lotsa Russians, some Harry Crewes, Rushdie. Also, a decent, though not Hucktacular CD collection.
I'm not sure what she looks like though, but I figure what the hell, I know where she lives, I might as well ask her out.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago)

Do it huck, although, you may well freak her out! But hey, i say do it!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago)

Aw punctured wee kitties :(

I am well, kind of jittery from too much coffee though! Looking forward to the long weekend (Matt is off Sat and Sun woo).

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:45 (twenty years ago)

Did you go camping archel?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:46 (twenty years ago)

Not yet! In two weeks.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:50 (twenty years ago)

whereabouts are you going?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Foxhole Bottom (!) which is pretty near here, towards Eastbourne. It's just a base for going for some walks and stuff really.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:52 (twenty years ago)

sounds lovely, just for the w/e?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:01 (twenty years ago)

Hi. I'm here, just don't have much to say. BUT THAT'S NEVER STOPPED ME BEFORE!

This coming weekend will be our last weekend without house guests for the next month or so.

― n.a. (Nick A.), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:03 (twenty years ago)

time to break out the fabio records and turn the phone off dude

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:04 (twenty years ago)

I just wrote a hate-filled email to someone. The hate wasn't directed at them, and in fact, I think she'll appreciate it, but I was not aware I was still so angry and resentful. It's kinda fun.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:06 (twenty years ago)

We both have three days off plus the weekend, which is probably the longest time we'll have together for a while (Matt is even working over Christmas grr. Although secretly I don't mind because it means that there's no way we'll be able to go and spend Xmas with his parents and the time we do have we can just have to ourselves.)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Huck, welcome to my world!

I may be going to Texarkana for Christmas. I've never been in the States at Xmas and I have to say the thought excites me, even windswept Arkansas farmland. I also am really curious to see the place where Sarah spent so much of her childhood. It sends little shivers up my spine. I do hope it turns out to be feasible.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:14 (twenty years ago)

Holy shit, the next TTITWIS thread will be titled "Joey, I'm not angry anymore" because JOEY BY CONCRETE BLONDE IS BRINGING TEARS TO MY FUCKING EYES FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. Johnette, what the fuck are you doing to me?!?!

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:20 (twenty years ago)

Arrrgh, well that's the healthy eating kick out the window, having just been given a plateful of Pringles and a Cadburys mini-roll :/

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:24 (twenty years ago)

I had deep fried breadcrumb coated chicken for lunch. Will I go to hell?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Je4nne, you old softy.

I was just reading a very bland (and frequently inaccurate) article on Jerry Seinfeld which quotes him telling Entertainment Weekly (yeah, great article, bub) "Never have anything to fall back on."

These words will haunt me all day until I forget them.
I also watched my first complete episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm last night. The one where he opens a restaurant. I laughed out loud lots.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:27 (twenty years ago)

Blimey, that's such an odd feeling when that happens. It actually does happen to me so much though. Just odd songs on the radio that don't really hold any significance for me.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Jeanne, I can turns those tears around. That song always reminds me of an episode of 90210 when Brandon made sweet sweet sideburned love to his psychopath girlfriend on the side of the road.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Those damn cancer adverts on telly make me blub like a two-year-old. I hate the way they make me feel.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:31 (twenty years ago)

i heard that song in a shop a few weeks ago and it reminded me of a certain ilxor! and then the next day i saw that concrete blonde were playign two shows down the steet, but i didnt go

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:32 (twenty years ago)

song also reminds me of ben and jerrys ice cream

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:33 (twenty years ago)

I watched the first season of the Office last night. Of my episode 4, the training episode was pure comedy gold. "every breath you take."

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Charity adverts always get me too. Mostly rspca ones although the cancer ones do an adequate job too. I think you should be able to switch off the adverts that don't apply to you. i.e. I dont want to see wheezing/coughing/dying ppl who are smokers. i don't smoke, so i think i should be able to tick a box so that i dont have to see that.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I don't want to see ANY adverts. Luckily I don't have to any more :)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:35 (twenty years ago)

um , ever hear of a remote?
xpost

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:36 (twenty years ago)

Ah but i saw that glint in your eye when you were at my house Archel!
;-)
Well of course there's the remote, but that's not my point, just nod, ok?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Actually it would be pretty good if you could tick an opt-out box for adverts, and instead pay a bit more money for your licence fee (only not to the BBC obviously. Hm, actually that wouldn't really work would it? Oh well.)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:38 (twenty years ago)

It's true Pink! TV tourism is great :)
I like to think of it as more like rubbernecking at accident scenes, actually. Horror but fascination.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:39 (twenty years ago)

I'm immune to such things because I am mean and petty.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:40 (twenty years ago)

what is rspca?

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:42 (twenty years ago)

huck -did you take the check last night?

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago)

If you paid extra ca$$$h to opt out of ads, it would have to drip down to the advertisers themselves. So you might as well buy the bloody things their advertising rather than paying to not buy them!!

x-post - Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Aww I don't believe that huck. you probably wont have seen the rspca ad where the drunk guy has thrown a kitten against the wall & killed it. that ad absolutely kills me.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals. I never know what the difference is between a merely National society and a Royal one.

xxxpost,

No, I didn't take it.
And neither did I.
BUt it was in my mailbunk this morning, and the biweekly paycheques came out today too. As the boss handed me mine I said "oh, thanks."
But really, he should be thanking me.

I just got a mass email from an aunt I'm not terribly close with informing everyone that her dog has died. "Now Grandma and Grandpa have company in Heaven."
FUCK YOU.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago)

Mark, you idiot. They're, not "their". Repeat 100 times.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:46 (twenty years ago)

maybe the kitties are protected by the royal airforce?

(i just typed oral instead of royal!!!, whooo mind in the gutter)

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Yeah but you can't buy cancer can you? Um... or something.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:48 (twenty years ago)

i also reckon some of the cancer victims in those ads maybe suffering from asbestos related cancers.

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago)

i'd like to think the kitties are protected by the air force.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:50 (twenty years ago)

Aww I don't believe that huck. you probably wont have seen the rspca ad where the drunk guy has thrown a kitten against the wall & killed it. that ad
absolutely kills me.

Are you just making that up? That's insane if it's true.
Actually, I am quite sensitive, and maybe a little bit of a crybaby.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:50 (twenty years ago)

Oh that would be cool kephm! I do like the idea that if someone's throwing a kitten at a wall in your vicinity, one or other of her majesty's forces would immediately be on the scene.

xpost

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:50 (twenty years ago)

I would be upset by that stuff in real life but the adverts are just manipulative and leave me cold (admittedly I ditched the TV before these RSPCA ones, by the sound of it.)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:51 (twenty years ago)

i am a fellow ditcher of the television, so i have nothing to talk about with my coworkers since all they discuss is reality shows and none of them like COPS, so boo on them

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago)

I watch and love TV, but I never talk about it with coworkers, since I don't talk with them at all. Every now and then I'll say something, but it's usually hilarious to me and mystifying to them.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago)

Of course they are not real (the adverts I mean) just simulation. No actual kitties are thrown against a wall! I can always switch off (mentall i mean) from all of the smoking & the cancer adverts, but I can never ignore the animal ones. I guess it's good that we've all got particular causes that move us, mine just happens to be animal charities. Not saying they are more important over other charities, just that that's the way I tend to lean.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago)

Having just read the 'waht were you doing when the WTC was attacked?' thread (and the government 'preparing for an emergency' shit) I've started thinking about what it will be like if there is another major terrorist attack or something, not having a television. It seemed so central to most of those accounts of 9/11 including mine. How can I 'get in, stay in, tune in' if I've got nothing to tune in to? Will everything feel weirdly less real if I'm not watching it on TV?

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:14 (twenty years ago)

I couldn't watch that.

Archel, Have you ever had the reduced fat pringles? I think they're really good. In fact, I want some now, but I'll just have to wait and have my soup later to satisfy my salt craving.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:18 (twenty years ago)

Well, it could be worse, you could work in a newsroom where they have a minimum of three TVs going all day long when something major happens, and you've got to sit there and compilie Bridge Tournament listings in the face of this.
THe worst, for me, I think was during the Shock and Awe Campaign, during the first few days of the way in March/03. Where the images were just replayed and replayed and then I couldn't get them out of my head.
During the WTC attacks, at least, I was compelled to watch out of a "what in holy hell is going on?" curiosity and concern. During the S&A, you knew what was going on and you knew what it was about.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:20 (twenty years ago)

I suspect that low-fat Pringles still wouldn't really qualify as 'healthy eating' Sarah :) But I will look out for them anyway, for when that craving hits...

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

Hey, speaking of Pringles, I think I saw an ad last night for Pringles with trivia questions printed on them. Like right on the chips. Was I hallucinating? I really hope so.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

And also with 9/11 you COULD be like screaming 'oh my god!' but when it's just plain old bloody warfare, nobody expects you to bat an eyelid really. Yeah on the whole I prefer no TV to too many.

xpost: wow, I hope you WEREN'T Huck. That would be so cool!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:24 (twenty years ago)

Will everything feel weirdly less real if I'm not watching it on TV?

Yes, it will, i still havent seen the full television footage myself, but on sept 11 i did plug the black and white tv in and managed to get the spanish station which actually showed bodies falling and landing

― kephm, Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:25 (twenty years ago)

omg

Huck, please start a new thread for the text-pringles. THEY ARE THE NEW INTERNET!

― n.a. (Nick A.), Thursday, 26 August 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago)

My friend got some, and read the riddles to me. The cashier said, "They have text on them, so don't be alarmed, because they look all musty." She then repeated this several times. This was at the store where everything costs a dollar. My friend ate about 20 Pringles before tossing them, and later reported that he really only needed 5.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 26 August 2004 16:32 (twenty years ago)

I am craving Pringles. And now I have a glut of money. All for Pringles.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 16:43 (twenty years ago)

I had a mozzarella, red pepper, and tomato sandwhich from the C0rner Bak3ry for lunch. Ick! Why did I do that?! It was just fine for most of the first half of the sandwhich, but when I started onto the second half, I suddenly felt really gross and threw the rest away. And I don't eat those chips anyway. I ate the little pickle slice though.

I wish I could go get a drink and go walk off this grossness.

In other news, I'm glad the throwing up is over with, luna.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:18 (twenty years ago)

You should have thrown your tomatoes at someone random, claiming "But it's all the rage in Spain today!"
Does anyone else feel really ill when they get the glaucoma dye put in their eyes? Or is it just me?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Hmm... You could feel sick because you're sight is messed up for a little while, thus making you dizzy.

Last time I went to get my eyes checked, the op couldn't get the drops in my eyes. It ended up being really embarassing. He tried holding both my eyelids up with his hands to drop in the solution, but my eyes kept shutting before he could. He started off being soothing about it, then joking around, and then finally he said, "I'm sorry. But we just won't be able to do this portion of the exam."

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:27 (twenty years ago)

I have a growing pimple directly above my right eyebrow. It's one of those big fat ones that looks more like a welt than a proper pimple. I believe it's the result of stress. The stress of being really unhappy with my life and seeing a few options and being really afraid to take a chance.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Or using pure virgin olive oil instead of mousse.

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I had resisted reading that thread!

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Until I came around and forced you to do it?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Is it redundant to call her a skank these days?

Hey, look, I am posting from HOME! Dial-up kind of sucks (especially when I can surf all day for FREE at work, suckers) but I had to try out my shiny new Firefox. It seems ok. I like the logo and it's pretty fast and stuff, but I have yet to experiment with this so-called tabbed browsing fannydangle. I also have a lovely new Office 2000 suite to play with (or at least to help me get this shitty proofreading job done over the weekend).

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:55 (twenty years ago)

is a fannydangle the same thing in the UK as it is here?

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:57 (twenty years ago)

I suspect not. Is it to do with ass there?

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 18:57 (twenty years ago)

(I was just joking around. I know the difference between US fanny and UK fanny)

― Huck, Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:01 (twenty years ago)

I just wanted to say 'ass'.

'fannydangle' has nothing to do with even the UK meaning of 'fanny' though, as far as I know. I think it just means fiddle/fancy schmancy stuff etc.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, tabs. Pretty.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 19:08 (twenty years ago)

i quit my job today!

well, i actually gave them a week's notice, but HR policy is to just pay you out for your last week and not have you come in. I think. So i don't have to go in anymore!

sucks that i won't be able to work the overtime, but this does free up my days to pack & jobhunt...

my final email to my department was a thank you with a link to the CorporateWatch.org page about the company we subcontract the cafe to, and then a link to a local voter registration site. Hopefully those will do good things.

also, i actually ended my email with "Smell ya later!"

Nope we have nothing, nowt, nada. Guy Fawkes is just fireworks in the air. bah! I want thanksgiving, but maybe that is just for the pumpkin pie!

Okay, folks, I have one for the books: on the subway this morning, I was seated across from a big dude with bitch tits who had his shirt unbuttoned on the top so you could see his chest hair. He was hunched forward or something because I swear to God, he had unmistakable cleavage. (I thought at first it was the lighting or something, but it wasn't.) The combo of the bitch tit cleave + chest hair = a no-nonsense image of a pussy. I stared at it for the entire ride to 42nd St. Fascinating.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 27 August 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Haha. But did you have the urge to touch it?

I just had a cheeseburger w/ fries for lunch and completely the crossword and made more headway on the cryptic crossword than I have in 2 years! Hooray, I'm smart again!

― Huck, Friday, 27 August 2004 16:59 (twenty years ago)

I just had a burger and a baked potato. I looked at the split open potato and (no joke) exclaimed, "Hey, it looks like a vagina." My friend agreed. Whee!

Oo, let me know if you need help with the cryptic. Although Archel is probably better at them than me by a long shot.

Je4nne, where is your stills interview?

― kephm (kephm), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:27 (twenty years ago)

Well, I left the paper in the cafeteria and getting help is no fun. Unless it's real time. When I was in school there used to be a bunch of us who would sit in the campus bar all afternoon drinking coffee and doing crossword puzzles and bitching about stuff. We were like retired people.

On Vee H One.com Do a search and you'll find it I'm sure.

One of my "other" bands played a show in Seattle last night, and I did crossword puzzles all the way up. NYTimes ones, though, which for the most part were pretty easy. I also did one on the way back down using a flashlight. I am an eight-letter word for "X?" ending in "E".

Also Huck, congrats on the apartment. I am so there! If, you know, if I figure out how to get there affordably and all that.

I would like to say something positive:

I just had a nice chicken caesar salad, followed by some good butter pecan ice cream.

Holy crap! The worst service in the whole world! I had to almost grab the waitress to get her attention, and then she completely avoided me the rest of the night! Complete opposite of the last time (wasn't the same waitress).
The comedians weren't so hot either. Sometimes I really hate this part of the world. So many of the road comics here practice what I'm trying to figure out a term for...something like the politics of exclusion. Where the bulk of their routine is basically, "hey, this group of people are different and therefore bad!"
And the "headliner" (out of two acts) did a very long bit about how the governor of California might say "gubernatorial."

― Huck, Sunday, 29 August 2004 05:20 (twenty years ago)

you should do a bit about these comedians you speak of.
then point out how different and therefore bad they are.

That fuckface from B!11b0@rd has spammed me TWICE (as it's Sunday). What an unreconstructed maroon! I'm this close to hitting "Send" on a very sarcastic and evil reply. As there likely aren't any levelheaded TITWISers around to convince me that insulting the "top guy" in an industry I absolutely loathe is maybe not such a hot idea, I will proceed with reckless spite.

Also, Ike & Tina's "Louie Louie" beats all.

― Huck, Sunday, 29 August 2004 19:45 (twenty years ago)

Okay, final draft. Last chance to talk me out of it.

Dear sir,

I don't know you. I have never been asked if I wanted to receive your transmissions. In fact, I have twice asked to be removed from your mailing list. It seems that you cull addresses from bulk mailouts by legitimate publicists, essentially poaching email addresses. This is, at best, tacky, and at worst, spamming.
Please show some decorum and make with the cutting it out.

Yours,

― Huck, Sunday, 29 August 2004 19:59 (twenty years ago)

Not even Ike's finest moment! Do you know 'Ho Ho'? One of my best friends claims it is a panacea.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 29 August 2004 20:26 (twenty years ago)

Don't know that one. And I merely meant that I & T's "Louie Louie" beats all other versions of that song. I'm listening (over and over again, for some reason) to Get It On, and my copy has no credits or even a date (the CD was released by Point Productions, licensend from Saja Music, in 1991), but I'm guessing it's latter-days material, as there are some reworkings of well-known songs, and a heavy electro-squeal synth going on throughout, and a puzzling version of A. Cooper's "Only Women Bleed" (sung here as "only we women bleed") and "Drift Away" (izzat Doobie Bros? "Give me the beat boys, free my soul" did kid rock do that recently? anyway, not even a very good or interesting song).

― Huck, Sunday, 29 August 2004 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Drift Away is a lovely record, in the original by Dobie Gray.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 29 August 2004 21:07 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha! I remember that one now! You're right, of course. My unfortunate Doobie Brothers exp. has tainted the song for me though.
Listening to this record for the umpteenth time this afternoon, part of me suspects that there's something not on the up&up about it. Ike's spoken parts on "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" are just too creepy.

― Huck, Sunday, 29 August 2004 21:34 (twenty years ago)

This thread is like my own personal blog!
I found a five dollar bill in the gutter this afternoon! Five whole dollars! This is awesome because I had almost run out of cash, and was anticipating having to visit a bank machine sometime between now and work tomorrow so that I can buy coffee, but bank machines only let you take out twenties, and I usually get a few at a time, and then I have all this cash whispering to me to spend it.
The gutter is my new bank machine. Best part, no service fees!
If I can only figure out how to pay my phone bill through the gutter, I'll be set.

I was thinking this morning while listening to "I Wanna Get Freaky With You" about a night I was visiting my best friend while he was in college. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of him banging his gf and singing this song to her in his best sexxxy drunk voice. He was trying to get all soulful on her and shit. Too bad he was about a 5'7 redheaded drunken irishman with no shoulders and one hair on his chest. "Oh my do...you you you you you." I remember telling him the next day that I heard him. He was all "fuck that shit man, I hate that fuckin song."

aw, you don't gotta be hiphop to beatboxing. beatboxing is in everyone, just like Elvis. Beatboxing comes from within. You must summon it from yourself to defeat your enemies.

He's driving a car.

I decided not to apply for a job yesterday. The one in Caligulary. Because I might get it. And I hate Calgary. And I'm not so fond of ent-j'lism. If I got this job it would take me further away from what I want to be doing. Plus, I just landed that sweet apt.

But I'm sure you'll get the job, Nick. I bat-lieve in you. Your super friends are all behind you.

Yes, Casiustry, because it's so easy. It's hard to feel superior to the plebs who do the Word Jumble when it's the same bloody thing.

On the bus to work this morning, the Oracle of the #6 Parkview addressed me from across the aisle. I had just settled in to my seat, pulled out the really fantastic forthcoming book The Ballad of the Whisky Robber by Julian Rubinstein, when this grizzled dude, with whom I had NOT made eye contact, turns and says to me "You think today sucks? Wait until tomorrow."

― Huck, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago)

You think that's bad? My horoscope in the back of Vogue said Jupiter is about to leave my sign and thusly my run of luck will be out of my planet sign or whatever for TWELVE MORE YEARS! I mean, WTF?! So then it says I should live it up now while I can, basically, because I guess my life will really start sucking soon. And it's my birthday horoscope!

You can be cool and have babies too! In fact, it might make you cooler. You're just scared because you're being reminded that you're getting older... ;)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Really, well it is a great name! My molly has just the same characteristics of her mum.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:18 (twenty years ago)

i know people can be cool with babies, and it didn't actually make me feel old (she's several years older than me), it was just odd, that's all. i'm sure it'll be great.

was surprised that they don't do baby showers here. how do new moms load up on all the baby crap that they need?

They usually have a christening/naming party which is when ppl tend to give gifts. Although I alawys give gifts as soon as the baby is born.
Aww chris, keep trying!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:40 (twenty years ago)

Do you know for sure you're both capable, Chris? I don't think you're right, though - many people I know have taken quite a while before getting lucky. But my sample isn't huge.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:40 (twenty years ago)

Some ppl I knew were havign trouble & then they went on holiday & forgot all about it, got drunk & ended up pregnant. I know it's hard (ahem) but try to relax.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:41 (twenty years ago)

Well we haven't gone to see a doctor yet regarding it. From what we've read you should try for at least a year before seeing anyone. So another 6 months or so and then we'll see.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:42 (twenty years ago)

My friends went to see a doc at about 6 months & it must have put their minds at rest enough to conceive as they did straight away! It's worth paying a visit to your docs Chris, definitely.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:44 (twenty years ago)

I think the fact that both of us are heavy smokers and my wife has recently lost a bunch of weight and changed her eating habits has a lot to do with it. We'll see, according to the fertility calender tonight starts teh lovin.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 11:46 (twenty years ago)

haha, best of luck dude. I would suggest quitting smoking though, especially your good lady! (sorry i know)

We have a quit date all set up. Sept 19th.

Hi guys.

Doing quite well on the Guardian crossword today. Lots of photocopying I should be doing though grr.

My coworker has just spent about an hour locked in her office on the phone. Now she's gone downstairs looking tense, ignoring her phone ringing again as she left. It's been ringing and ringing ever since she left. Quite tempted to pick it up next time and say 'look she obviously doesn't want to talk to you so fuck off' but it would turn out to be her mum or the boss or something that one time, inevitably.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 12:57 (twenty years ago)

Works suXor the big fat one today!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:01 (twenty years ago)

yeah, the coworker said that they'd decided they would 'try' for a baby, but had only had the discussion as a vague thing, and hadn't made any effort, and thinks that the fact that they didn't really think about it or plan it or stress about it made it happen quickly...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Bingo, a friend of mine had a bitch of a time getting preggers. She and her husband read all about common problems with conceiving. She read somewhere that it might have to do with the acidity level in her hoo-ha. The solution was a nice baking soda and water douche before sexing. She figured, what the hell, it's worth a shot...and she got preggers.

So the Oracle was right. I woke up to a mouse in one of my traps in the kitchen. That makes it Huck: 4; Mice: 0. But it had been over a week with no mice, so I had been duped into thinking I'd licked 'em. But fuck, Sept. 1. I'm so glad I gave my notice. Also, my neck is a wrenched.
Then I get to work and there's a million messages on my phone, I'm a be busy today! And, I'm probably gonna have to skip my radio show tonight to cover a ¢h4®13y P®!d3 concert that I don't really want to go to, but I'm in need of money. And yesterday was the closing date on the job in Caligulary that I didn't want anyway, right? Fuck, what a mess of wasted opportunity my 20s have been. Only 2.75 more years before life gets good, right?

Velvet, I wish I had some tips for you, but, um, I don't.

― Huck, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Of course, prices may have changed but whatever. So then he says Install this too. I say, ok, I'll see if we can find an installer in your area and we'll need to give you a quote on that... and he says No, you will get it installed. I will pay up to $150 and it will be installed, ok? Ok? GRRR.

Grrrrrr. So, it turns out that everyone at work has conveniently forgotten that I'm only on a 30 hour contract (probably because I've been doing sodding overtime all summer), and they've all booked holiday/approved other people's holiday (expecting me to cover), at times when I'm not supposed to be working.

Only one more year... only one more year... well, if I can find a job when I get my masters that is :/

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Well, yeah I can not work. I mean, I don't think they can force me. I have sent a slightly sniffy email round reminding people what my hours are, and graciously offering to work a couple of Fridays (my usual day off) if they're desperate and can let me know in advance. BUT NOT ALL OF THEM you fuckers.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Because she probably will. We cancelled H4G4R once. Big mistake.

This is the state of journalism today: the advertising dept. has annexed my supply closet. I now have to find "somewhere else" to store shit.

I guess I can understand, some people are uncomfortable with really intimate things like that - nothing wrong with it, but my god, I, personally, will never understand it. I mean, I won't even date people who won't do it.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I can understand being uncomfortable, too. I have to feel a kind of closeness to the person before letting them go for it. Some women have body issues, that's all.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:38 (twenty years ago)

That's true. It could be any number of things. I sound awfully insensitive to it - I don't mean to.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:39 (twenty years ago)

(Whoa, that was NOT to make light of body issues. I realize I kind of made it look that way.) xpost

HOly fuck!
I just realized that in last week's movie guide, i accidentally gave Vanity Fair the blurb for Without a Paddle.

Smooth, Huck! Are you serious? A bunch of silly teenagers who don't read much (uh, except the movie guide) are going to show up to vanity fair. AWESOME.

I want to see Vanity Fair. I'll have my dad take me this weekend.

Hello, everyone! Special hellos to Pink, Archel, and both Chrises, just because I feel like it. :)

I just wandered over to the moderator requestion forum and saw a post were Dee got all angry and once again, it was the greatest thing.

Thanks. Seems like I should spend a lot of my energies getting angry so that I can be too tired ever to be sad again. Hey! What an idea! ;)

I am listening, BTW, to a DJ Tiesto mix of some kind that Dee will be interested to know uses the synth riff from "Save a Prayer" kind of sped up in it. Im not sure if this is a good thing or heresy.

Oh, it could hardly count as heresay when I can admit freely and without one ounce of shame that I actually prefer the DMC remix of "Save a Prayer" to the original song itself. Wait. Could the two remixes be one and the same? Hm. Point to ponder.

Oh, and I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BUSY I'VE BEEN RECENTLY. I'M THINKING I MIGHT NEED TO CUT BACK ON WORK HOURS SINCE SCHOOL SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE TIME-SAPPING FOR ME. OVER.

(Just to keep with the spirit of the last bit of this thread.)

(xpost -- damn, okay, missed you guys completely.)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:50 (twenty years ago)

Hi dee! *hugs* I hope you are well.

This thread is so funny cos me & james speak in trucker speak because we live in a village called 'over' over! hahah over!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:59 (twenty years ago)

(Oh never mind. Completely glossed over the "synth riff" bit of the post. Duh. Um, well, Jose Nuñez's "Air Race" was pretty genius and it used a sample from "My Own Way", so, um, yeah.)

(God, I'm geeking out on THIS THREAD TOO. *rolls eyes*)

(Now I feel the need to listen to the SAP remix and "Air Race". Damn.)

Pink! You are a doll. I'm doing fairly well, thanks. Actually pretty content in some pockets of my life, which is a blessing. I'm surprised to find there's actually a village *called* "Over"! Dude.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:01 (twenty years ago)

Oh yes it's a very real village! Oh & it's soooo pretty. How was your day dee?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:06 (twenty years ago)

I'm noticing! (Actually took the initiative and looked over the village website -- very pretty and charming and easy on the eyes.)

Have I mentioned before how much of a doll you are?

My day was... well, fairly packed with activity, but not from work. Actually, I'm noticing increased demands on my time and energy from school. I guess it's because I'm doing upper-level courses now. I did get a chance to unwind, though -- the US cable channel that's responsible for launching the original "Queer Eye" is now airing the UK version on Wednesday nights, so I got a chance to catch one of those while I ate dinner. Very good -- has a lot of the same effervescence of the original series. They did the ep with the Australian guy who wanted to propose to his South African girlfriend, whom he met on an Internet dating site -- too sweet!

How have you been? And how was your day?

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:14 (twenty years ago)

I am just sickeningly peachy thanks for asking!
Yesterday was ok, work was pretty crappy & in the evening I had a headache & was really tired. We watched 2 episodes of 24 (2nd series on dvd) & then I went to bed & read for a bit. so pretty non-eventful really. Today, well it's only 9.20am, so not really sure how today's gonna go yet! ;-)

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh & this evening some friends are coming round to look at the house & meet the kitties, so that should be fun. Even though we were gonna go to Rawganics (hip hop night) with Pharoahe Monche & Skinnyman. Ah well, nevermind.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:22 (twenty years ago)

Hehe I am so going to be spending today thinking of dirty puns involving Over. How near is it to actual Cambridge Pink?

Hi Dee btw! I want to borrow some of your righteous anger dude - I have to step down from the board of an arts organisation I'm on tonight and I feel really bad about letting them down but otoh they are crap. Need to be strong.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:23 (twenty years ago)

Morning archel! Over is about a 15 minute drive from the centre of cambridge, so we is proper country folx! haha, i love it, although being so far away from everything (including shops) is proving quite difficult to get used to!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:25 (twenty years ago)

Yeah... I was thinking about where I want to live the other day, and realising that although I want to be somewhere a lot quieter and country-ish, not having the late night Tespresso at the end of my street would be hard to get used to! What? Actually PLANNING our weekly shopping in advance?? Pah. And we don't drive either.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:28 (twenty years ago)

(To Pink:)

Yay for being sickeningly peachy! :)

I'm terribly sorry work was uncooperative with you, um, yesterday (always forget about those time zone differences!) and about your headache and I hope those are rare occurrences in your life. As for the uneventfulness -- well, sometimes that can be a good thing.

Good luck with the rest of your day, BTW!

(responding after reading the second post)

Aw, I'm sorry some of your plans fell through, though hopefully you guys can have your own little private hip-hop night at Chez Pink tonight! That would be pretty cool, wouldn't it be?

(To Archel:)

PLEASE feel free to take, borrow, or steal as much of the Righteous Anger as you need, hon. That must be a rather difficult thing to have to do, but hey, if you have to do it, you have to do it. Stay strong, hon! We'll be there with you in spirit, I know it!

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 2 September 2004 07:29 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I'm off for the night. It's 3:31 a.m. and any rational individual around here would've been off to sleep two hours ago. Oh well. Good luck with your days, everyone!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:01 (twenty years ago)

yes I'm ok now. I think a lot of low level anxiety just suddenly coalesced into one big wave. I will be glad to get the working day and this board meeting over with though.

Thanks guys x

Hope everyone is ok

I watched the second season of The Office last night. My god, the dance scene was priceless. "Flashdance and MC Hammer shit", I'm depressed that the Christmas special isn't out yet to wrap it up for me. And Brent showing his human side...nice touch.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:19 (twenty years ago)

Good luck, Archel.

I'm listening to the Raveonettes at my desk while trying to match up some locker specifications to something in one of our catalogs. The work is boring, but at least the Raveonettes are drowning out "Isn't She Lovely?" which is blaring from the lite radio broadcast in the office.

OMG I fucking hate it at work.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Aw Pink. Did you say your friend there was off on maternity leave? It's shitty when you've not got at least one nice person to share the moaning etc.

My poor little coworker Steve is getting it in the neck from EVERYONE right now. And he never stands up for himself or says that the reason he is making the odd mistake is because he has more work to do than is humanly possible. And because he is the most junior employee he has to run round after everyone. At the moment it's like a joke 'oh, Steve, he's so rubbish haha' but that can be really morale-sapping and almost like bullying eventually. Hope he'll be ok.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah she is. I don;t know whether I'm being overly sensitive or whether this situation is really fucking shit.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago)

I have people to moan to, but none of them are close friends. In 10 years working I've made like 2 close friends. WHY AM I SO HATED

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, Pink. :-( How's the settling in going?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 September 2004 12:55 (twenty years ago)

The only time I had work friends Mark was when we were the only young people in the office and were united by hating the job. Had nothing in common otherwise.

I have concluded that it's not really that likely you'll find good friends through work, unless you're either a) very lucky or b) are the sort of person who is very very outgoing, can get along with everyone, doesn't have strong opinions about anything, has no neuroses, and is able to leave office politics in the office.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:01 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, house is absolutely fantastic, i love it. now that i haven't got to focus on the houseie stuff, i gotta get back to my studies & work out how i'm gonna survive work! How are things going with the fake fictions?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Good! But I feel bad because I cancelled practice last night. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm having - uh - women's troubles. And I was feeling weird and out of it all yesterday. The thought of having practice, let alone doing anything that involved leaving the house, was not pleasant. But it sucks because that means we can't practice for another week because of visits from parents.

We have lots of new songs though and a few shows in the works (and a couple of small pix on our page!).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago)

aww, is it the usual monthly or summit more? (don't expect u to go into detail or anything haha! I hope you feel better anyway. have some ice cream & some tea.
I can't download from your site, but when you make a cd, purrlease may i have one?!!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:15 (twenty years ago)

The usual, pink. The lovely lovely usual. It just made me feel extra spacey this time, like I was high on pain killers. Which I guess doesn't sound half bad, but it's not the best state to be in, especially at work.

Sure, I need your new addy though. Please email it to me. I actually wrote you a card quite a while back but had lost it so I never got in the mail! I have good intentions though.

Chris V., I don't want to get your hopes up but I might might might be able to send you copies of the xmas episodes of the Office, at least as versions you can watch on your computer. anthony kyle monday sent them to us, I'm just not sure if I'm going to be able to copy and burn them for you, but I might. They're not DVDs, they're like .wmv files or something. If I can, I'll send them to you with a mix cd.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago)

Aww bless you! I know all about good intentions, I have them all the time! I just had a look at your website & clicked on one of the links & it tried to load 'gain' sofware on my machine, argh, best run my spybot stuff!! I'll email you! Hope you are feeling better, get yourself a box of chocs & a hot water bottle. I've got all of this to look forward to next week! grrr.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:28 (twenty years ago)

I need to get a drink or something, I have one of those weird 'lump in my throat' feelings for no reason at all.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:34 (twenty years ago)

Me too, Ned. But then again, I have this weird habit of forgetting to drink anything. So I don't even think of it until I find myself swallowing alot and hurting. I usually forget to drink anything with meals either, unless I'm in a restaurant and they do the thinking for me.

MORNING!
Overheard from the City Desk Phone, "What would you like to complain about, today's paper or yesterday's paper?"

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Or perchance tomorrow's?

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

wow, sarah, i can't imagine that! i drink water constantly while i'm at work (habit picked up when in one of the dry, air conditioned, no windows that open offices in a chicago highrise), which has the added bonus of lots of trips to the water cooler AND the bathroom.

i suggest this to everyone.

sorry to hear about your lump, ned...hopefully it isn't full of green goop!

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Hehe, no worries Colette. :-) It's more like a hiccup that's caught if anything. It'll go away!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:46 (twenty years ago)

I must drink like 40 gallons of water from the water cooler every day.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:51 (twenty years ago)

If most humans are 70% water, I must be at least like 86% water.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 13:57 (twenty years ago)

thanks nick thats very kind, im going to try to bitorrent them tonight. I'll let you know. Im still trying to get time to burn those mixes I promised everyone. Soon.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 2 September 2004 14:24 (twenty years ago)

morning campers.

(over)

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

No shouting this morning, luna? Too early? :-D

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:25 (twenty years ago)

It's never too early!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:26 (twenty years ago)

But no, I'm feeling not so much like a trucker this morning as I am someone who has pain in teh back, so I am whiny.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:27 (twenty years ago)

today we should talk like diner waitresses!

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Try falling on a garbage can like Homer.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Three legs over sleazy with sidecar of hot cum, hold the tomato!

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:33 (twenty years ago)

There may be something to that... although I admit that imitating cartoon characters hasn't gotten me very far in the past. You'd be surprised how much one of those anvils weighs.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:33 (twenty years ago)

and think of all the pickinicks you've ruined.

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Would you say you yare what you yare, Luna?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:36 (twenty years ago)

Not exactly... mostly I'd say things like 'um, I fink so Brain, but how are we going to get the teamsters into the tutus?"

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 September 2004 15:46 (twenty years ago)

I am crazy busy right now, but just wanted to say two things.

1. I'll be filling on the radio (www. c j t r .ca) tonight, two, maybe three hours starting at 8 p.m. MDT

2. Terry Gilliam is confirmed to make a movie here this fall.

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 19:43 (twenty years ago)

What movie?

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 19:59 (twenty years ago)

The new one.

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:04 (twenty years ago)

Regina is now destined to be struck by a freak two-year-long blizzard/tsunami.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:06 (twenty years ago)

... thanks.

TIDELAND (2002): MITCH CULLIN

Traces of Faulkner's A Rose for Emily and faint echoes of the horror film classic Psycho infuse this highly charged, eccentrically imaginative narrative by the author of Branches. The unusual tale comprises mainly dialogues between 11-year-old Jeliza-Rose and her four bodiless Barbie doll heads as she wanders about the isolated landscape of a house beside the railroad tracks in bleak rural Texas, interrupted periodically by the dynamite exploding in a nearby limestone quarry. Jeliza-Rose's mother is dead from a heroin overdose. The girl's father, 67-year-old Noah, a drug-addicted, has-been rock guitarist, leaves his wife's corpse on the bed in their sleazy L.A. apartment and takes his abused, disturbed daughter on a Greyhound bus to his long-dead mother's home. There Noah pins a map of Denmark on the wall and sits and stares trancelike for days on end. Jeliza-Rose soon encounters Dell, an eccentric neighbor woman who wears a beekeeper's veil and has a brain-damaged brother named Dickens. Precocious (and often pretentious) conversations between Jeliza-Rose and her Barbie heads (one is named Classique) serve to illumine the girl's disturbed state of mind and to further the surreal plot. As Jeliza-Rose's fantasy world collides with Dell's appalling secret, a grotesque history is revealed. This brutal portrait of a young girl's unbearable childhood requires immersion in her fevered imagination, and is relieved only at the end by Jeliza-Rose's brave effort to save herself from total breakdown.

We're also likely going to be standing in for Texas on the filmic adaptation of DC Comics' Preacher.

― Huck, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Hee-yaw.

I'd listen to the show but I have a show of my own tonight. Gabba gabba hey.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 September 2004 23:02 (twenty years ago)

plug it, dude. I'll switch between the two.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Um, it's my band playing at a local venue, though. But if you're in Portland!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 September 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Oh, sorry. Bit of a drive, that.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 23:56 (twenty years ago)

Has anyone got some speed or caffiene IVs or something? I'm totally falling asleep at my desk today :( This job gets worse by the minute.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:05 (twenty years ago)

Are you gonna be playing "Rev. Love Song"? Cuz I was planning on playing that. We should synch up!

Anyway, 31 mins.

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 00:26 (twenty years ago)

Also, my mom informed me that there's a pkg for me at their place from a "Joe Salmon, somewhere in Montana."
Dear, sweet mother.

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 00:27 (twenty years ago)

Joe, Jeremy, Montana, Michigan - fine lines, really

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:33 (twenty years ago)

Still, I love her. I'm making a big dinner for maw and paw on Sunday, as Saturday's their anniversary.
Also, talked my kid bro, who's in NYC (there's a thread) and he's coming home soon, so I'll have a friend in town! But he wants to move to Vancouver maybe. Where my lousy sister lives. He'll be sorry.

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Oh, well maybe I'll catch the beginning, then. But no, we don't go on until around 10:30 or so my time. And we weren't planning on playing that. Unless it gets requested.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:54 (twenty years ago)

I have a shiny new gmail account. will i get some invites?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 07:10 (twenty years ago)

3 DAYS AND I'M STILL NOT DONE SHIPPING EVERYTHING

FUCK THIS I'M GUNNA BURN THIS PILE

I LEAVE IN LESS THAN 10 HOURS

HOPE TA GOD

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Friday, 3 September 2004 07:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh good luck Mr Kingfish dude!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 07:32 (twenty years ago)

Good luck moving KF!

I feel like crap this morning. I did the thing, the leaving the board thing, and it was ok. Decision validated though when someone said 'oh but you're so good at looking after the door'. Which is exactly why it's time to move on - is there any point being a company director when your main input is selling tickets to the middle classes? No, that is NOT where I see my future lying somehow.

Was woken up by Matt coming in about 1am. £220 had gone missing from his account, it showed up as being withdrawn last night but he only took out £10. He's going to see his bank this morning, and hopefully it's just their error, but it's possible his card might have been cloned :(

Rent due and we can't pay it :(

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 07:59 (twenty years ago)

Aww archel that's awful. I can lend you some cash if you need it.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:01 (twenty years ago)

Sorry if that post offended you, I just meant that, well you know what i mean. I haven't got much, but if I can help you out, oh you know what i mean.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:02 (twenty years ago)

Aw, thank you Pink you're such a peach! I think we will be ok, we have a credit card with probably enough. It's just a bit scary.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:05 (twenty years ago)

Well like i said, i haven't got much, but i might be able to help you if you need it hon! Hope all works out for you! *hugs*

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:10 (twenty years ago)

Matt just phoned. The card *was* cloned - they withdrew another £130 this morning as soon as his pay went in. It's all cancelled now of course so at least we've found out sooner rather than later. And we will get the whole £350 back eventually. But it's a fucking horrible feeling, that someone can do that so easily.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:26 (twenty years ago)

OMG that's horrible! glad it's all sorted though. get thee to a pub to have a big glass of wine. or failing that, get yourself a big bar of chocolate.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:27 (twenty years ago)

Mmm chocolate. Good idea!

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:34 (twenty years ago)

I'm thinking I might have a housewarming party around halloween so we can have a spooky theme! what do you guys think?

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:56 (twenty years ago)

omg! How weird! I just found a Milky Way in my pigeon hole! (No rude jokes please...)

Secret admirer? Psychic friend who knew I was thinking about chocolate? Amazing telekinesis by Pinxor from Cambridge?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Ahem, well I thought you might appreciate it! ;-)

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 08:59 (twenty years ago)

Well, the chocolate is still a mystery, 4 hours later. Everyone I work with denies all knowledge. And yet... it must be someone who knows my name.

Or, a case of mistaken hole...

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 13:24 (twenty years ago)

ahem!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Sorry about the card troubles, Archel.

For once in my life, I DON'T want chocolate right now. I feel sick. I thought about staying home, but I'm managing ok at my desk, eating a fresh tomato with salt and working vvveeeeerrrrrryyyyyy ssssllllooowwwwlllllyyyy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 September 2004 13:32 (twenty years ago)

"Hi boss, sorry I'm late this morning. I got caught up in a vendetta. I was taking the law into my own hands and I missed the bus. Won't happen again."

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Morning sunshine!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 September 2004 13:52 (twenty years ago)

Hi Huck, can you vendett against the assholes who stole Matt's money please k thx bye.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 3 September 2004 13:54 (twenty years ago)

Okay.
Now that I've taken out the non-profit org. in the office building next to my apt. who hired a tree removal for 7 a.m.! (which is when the noise bylaw lifts, and I was already up, but FUCK!)

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 13:57 (twenty years ago)

My back feels a little better than it has this morning, so I'm in a slightly better mood than I have been this week. Or something.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Meanwhile, good morning (afternoon/evening) all you lovely people...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago)

What about me?

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 14:58 (twenty years ago)

Hi. I get off work at 4 today for the long weekend, wa-hay. But Sarah is sick and we'll be sleeping on an air mattress all weekend because Sarah's dad is going to be staying with us. Oh well. Oh and Sarah's birthday is on Monday and I still have a hell of a lot of shopping to do and I don't know when I'm going to do it.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 September 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Yeah, um... hi Huck.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm in a stink-raisin' mood today.

― Huck Mann, Bylaw Avenger, Friday, 3 September 2004 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Hi, everyone. Glad your back is a bit better, luna. I need a back massage. NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:09 (twenty years ago)

It may only be 9 am, but I could go for a burger right now.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:11 (twenty years ago)

WWWHHHAAAATTTTT???

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:12 (twenty years ago)

(awww, y'all are so cute)

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:13 (twenty years ago)

I don't so much want a hamburger, but I think I'll have some tea.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:20 (twenty years ago)

I am really fed up with people who constantly moan about the relationship they were just in. I know it hurts, I know your will to live has been sucked out through your earholes, I know that you're sad and you feel the world is ending; HOWEVER: we've all been there, it sucks, and it will hurt less as time passes. Can we please NOT GO INTO IT EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY PLEASE? K THX BYE.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I just made some tea!

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:26 (twenty years ago)

Best xpost ev-- well, best in a long while, anyways.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:28 (twenty years ago)

We had a really nice show last night. Now I don't feel like getting up and going to work. Bah.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:30 (twenty years ago)

Ok ok I give in, I'll make tea instead.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:30 (twenty years ago)

I might have a cheeseburger for lunch.

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 15:37 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go get a grilled cheese and french fries for lunch.

I think I'm getting Sarah's cold. My eyes are itchy and I keep sneezing. I thought I cut it off last night with a pre-emptive hot toddy, but apparently it didn't take.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago)

T-minus 5 minutes to lunchtime! I've got my cryptic crossword ready to go!

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 15:53 (twenty years ago)

You are the original wild man, Huck.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:55 (twenty years ago)

Don't feel too bad, Archel, I can't pay my rent, either.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Did I mention that I do the cryptic NAKED, with a girls water polo team?

― Huck, Friday, 3 September 2004 15:57 (twenty years ago)

We paid rent the other night and I just crossed my fingers that my direct deposit paycheck would come before they got around to cashing it. You know, the usual.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 September 2004 15:58 (twenty years ago)

Well, since the rent came out of my account, and I still haven't deposited the check you wrote me for your half of the rent, I think you're probably in the clear.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 September 2004 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Did I mention that I do the cryptic NAKED, with a girls water polo team?

In or out of the water?
