AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GO ALL THE WAY FROM P TO L!!!

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

i don't live in chicago anymore.


when does that new nintendo come out?

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

Now if that title doesn't make you want to click then I don't know what would.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

New nintendo and apple products to be announced MAY 9TH.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

:D

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Juneish? For new Nintendo? I might be making this up completely and utterly?

You know, the guy that used Pete's bathroom didn't even actually look like Fabio, when I think about it. In any way.

xpost OH Mayish, I was not far off.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

well I mean the nintendo is already announced but the serious press coverage and meaty details are going to start spilling that day in earnest. This Apple thing, whatever it is, I just now found out about.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

It probably sucks, it's Apple. I'm gonna get that kind of commentary in while I can, before they unban Jon :D

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

June is the DS Lite. I think gbx is talking about the WII. That is coming out in Q4 2006, which is code for the week after Thanksgiving.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

that nintendo might be my First Ever video game box. if it's only $99.

xp thought he was unbanned already?

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

O RLY? Whoops. I was just kidding, about the sucking.

I don't want a DS Lite cos they are white.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

things I am really anticipating this year in no particular order:

  • Star Wars theatrical editions on DVD

  • my Master's Degree

  • A new computer of some sort

  • the Wii


    • Hi I'm boring, and your name is?

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

    Who banned Jon?

    my brother is making me listen to gnarls barkley and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

    ― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

    "Star Wars theatrical editions" sounds funny to me, like it's some super special new edition that's like extra melodramatic, or like some high school satirical production or something.

    Am I ever going to get the answer as to why you need a new computer?

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

    because I broke my old one and yours is dirty.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

    but mostly because Josh has like 3 new computers.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

    it's NOT FAIR.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

    new computer >>>>> old computer


    simple math.

    ― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

    Old computer is actually pretty new though, is the thing that is making me curious as to why he's so darned insistant on a new one THIS YEAR instead of next year or something. Also Josh's limbs go numb on a regular basis and he's full of cholesterol and I don't see anyone doing THAT.

    Actually I wouldn't really mind had we not got JACKED on DC taxes this year.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

    ally, congratulations on your superior brain use (i.e. remembering) skills.

    ― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

    is it worth getting a new iMac if i just incurred a bunch of student debt and already have a functional 3 yr old powerbook?


    probably not, huh.

    ― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

    I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a new computer every year. You can just collect them like some mad scientist.

    ― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

    xpost No see that's my theory about getting a new computer right now too. If I knew what exactly he wanted it for besides "Josh has one" I'd be maybe a little more acquiescent about the idea, but really the tax thing + wedding + upcoming travel + Nintendo products = computer doesn't seem prioritized to me. BUT I AM A GURLZ.

    ZR, do you remember the guy we are talking about tho? He didn't even have long hair, IIRC.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

    When you describe Josh in terms of his gadget fascination and health problems he sounds like he must be a huge fatty who never leaves the house. Poor guy.

    If you describe Luke in terms of anything that has to do with Luke, you'd assume the same thing. What up with ppl you know.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

    You know if you change your name to Big Loud Ape Mountain I can just refer to you as BLAM all the time.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

    consider it done, your Allyzayness

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

    No I think describing Luke in terms of the things he does you would get more of a picture like oh well shit basically pick any of the red meat regulars and that's basically Luke anyway.

    yeah ally i don't really remember that dude. i was trying to recall what we decided the new thread should be, got stuck on "charo is eating my leftovers" or something, and gave up.

    ― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

    He did have greasy longish hair, not fabio long at all but down to the collar all around. parted in the middle for extra douchiness. He was sitting with the woman who was trying to offset her strong-jawed horseyness by dressing not very differently than that 40something from the Tonga Room in her pajamas.

    DE boozemporia aren't state-run. However, we did just recently start selling booze on Sundays.

    TAKE THAT JESUS.

    the bosstrons of lockheed have informed me that today is Gordon Biersch day. dud or free beer?

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

    I guess Gordon Biersch is no worse than any place else. Wait, I'm totally making that up, GB is terrible.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

    But the beer is good and will get your husband DRUNK.

    Isn't that what we all want?

    ― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

    the beer isn't particularly great IMO

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

    There is Le Bar, the Library Lounge, a few other places a bit to the west. This www.readexpress.com map thing is fucking brilliant.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

    go to gordon biersch. it's free.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

    does anybody else stop working soon and want to meet up?

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

    i sorta hated GB the one time i've been there but that was probably due to company more than it was the establishment. free beer = automatic non-dud.

    ― Zart Robotron (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

    No, not particularly great. But not terrible! And they have outside seating and its nice outside.

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

    it's not actually free half the time and I'm not particularly interested in going and listening to people talk shop after managing to successfully avoid doing any real work for 7 hours today. Apparently the oversight/support group people have been over there since 2:30 so I'm like oh fuck you.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

    One of the GOGs sez:

    When I'm asked to meet friends after work downtown or pick a spot for cocktails near McPherson Square, I've been turning to the underutilized bar at Ceiba, which boasts cocktails from South America and the Caribbean at surprisingly affordable prices.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

    alright bros, i'm outski. i'd come get drinks but i must frenziedly clean my room cuz a's got some bizarre hangup about actaully being able to see the floor when she walks in, and then we're going to a party. have xxxcellent weekends.

    ― Zart Robotron (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

    I believe you mean MEXXXXCELLENT weekend!!! Have fun at yr party

    we were downtown again this afternoon and saw TWO MORE Lamers buses.
    OK, right, 33 down is six letters, clue is "DC tourists",
    http://www.golamers.com/images/coach_bus.jpg
    wtf.
    Anyway the Sugimoto is a can't miss, they didn't have as much of his color work as I was hoping for but the oceans/movie theaters/buddhas are totally sweet. Also, de Kooning has not aged well at all. Jesus.

    Also, BARBARO, THE PERFECT BEAST. Apparently we have a friend who unbeknownst to us is a huge horse fan and has picked the last 4 Derby winners! Wow. Hopefully we can get her to join us in the Preakness infield.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Saturday, 6 May 2006 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

    And when I say the Sugimoto buddhas are totally sweet I mean "completely disorienting."

    HI DERE I AM BACK!

    Thanks to Ally and Tom and Mr. Noodles for negotiating my return to ILE. Though a bit surprised over how agitated I was at being in communicado, for, like, two whole days, at least I got to keep up.

    So, if anyone wants an herb handoff tomorrow at the museum (I WILL BE DERE AT NOON), let me know. BTW herbs available tomorrow = thyme, tarragon, and/or parsely. Later in the gardening season there will be sage, spearamint, cilantro, swiss chard, hot peppers (jalapeno and serrano), tomatoes, and, uh maybe some other stuff (sugar snap peas? cucumbers?).

    And hey is Preakness really going down? 'Cause if tickets can be had I am totally in (and can shepard people in my car, too!)

    Speaking of sheparding, I went to the MD Sheep and Wool Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds today. It was. . . uh, I don't know how even to describe. Lamb sausage was awesome, though!

    ― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 7 May 2006 01:00 (nineteen years ago)

    A) This is Ally, not Tom.
    B) Preakness is going down, we have some NON-ILX FRIENDS (OH NOES) who are dedicated to going, so any ILX FRIENDS (OH NOES) who want to come we should organize this.
    C) HERB HANDOFF AWESOME??????? One day I will repay herbs and shrimps and etc with a big feasts for ppls.
    D) Oh that means we will be at the building museum tomorrow, if we ever finish watching Man on the Moon.
    E) HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!!!!!

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Sunday, 7 May 2006 03:18 (nineteen years ago)

    ― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Sunday, 7 May 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

    I saw the Lamers buses out in Fairfax county today! two of them! I went to Super H Mart and had a fantastic salad with sashimi in it at the cafe, and got loads of fresh veggies, and then some evangelical Korean woman tried to convert me and wanted me to pray with her, standing right there in the dried seaweed aisle. I was like.. ma'am, it's not that I'm ashamed of what people think, the reason I'm not going to pray with you is because I say no! and that's the reason! arrrgh. you would think I'd have run into more evangelicals in small town USA but no, the first time I encounter this particular mindset is in massive korean suburban supermarket

    it was sort of terrifying, and then I got "days of swine and roses" in my head and couldn't get rid of it for a while..

    Hey everyone, thanks for the cultural Sunday. Btw, the Streets album is really good. Re Preakness, are we aware that it costs $45 to stand in the infield? All the other tickets, are of course, sold out. I remembered the album I forget to remember to get at Olsson's: Scott Walker. I think it is out now.

    ― Mary (Mary), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

    That was a truly enjoyable Sunday afternoon! Special thanks to Brian for patiently answering my utterly uninformed architecture questions and StephenX for making objects in the gift shop extra entertaining.

    whoa go away for three days and will smith is done. did i mention that on our return from honeymooning two weeks ago we walked past fabio himself in a strangely deserted jfk terminal nine? he is so dreamy.

    ps anyone going to mogwai on weds?

    Mookie I was wondering as to your whereabouts because there was talk (or at least I talked) of BIG HUNT on THURSDAY. If I remember correctly you are a fan of the BIG HUNT, yes? Please tell me about the BIG HUNT.

    ― quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

    The BIG HUNT has a pretty good beer selection! And some decent junkfood on the menu. When it is toilet time, go to the unisex one in the back on the side of the main entrance, because last time we were there Ally caught some dude totally yanking his peter in the ladies' on the other side.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

    So are others up for Thursday? Where is The Big Ape? Done with exams yet?

    ― quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

    It's hard to keep up with you guys too! I think it's cause your on the east coast.

    I want a non-regional chat thread. A new one.

    ― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

    BLAM be out for Thursday. I have an exam the following day. The Big Hunt officially gets my approval, however. They have a good selection of brews.

    As a future proposition, anyone up for watching the Champions League Final on Wednesday afternoon? I was thinking Lucky Bar, and I can totally hold down a table or two from 12:30 on.

    Hunan is pretty awesome, though the mystery dumpling plate still kinda freaks me. Or, I mean, would freak me if I was a vegetarian, knowing full well there were veggie dumplings in that mix, but thrown in with IDENTICAL LOOKING pork and chicken dumplings. Why don't they separate them? It's a mystery. Hence the nickname, mystery dumpling plate.

Just cold or just rainy would be one thing! I know it's not very bro but most bros don't wear skirts to work every day and freeze their ass off if the weather is unpleasant, y'know.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

    The Bar is not until August, and it is not being given by Catholic University. Ergo, not a law school final for me.

    The Bar is also a whole other animal - finals are "What is the law? Is it THIS or THAT?" Lots of bandying back and forth of caselaw, statutes, etc. The Bar simply asks "What is the law in this jurisdiction?" so, its black letter law as opposed to all this hypothetical bullshit.

    I am taking the CA bar.

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

    i recommend an old-school board, instead of the longboard.

    ― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

    Yeah, why the interest in longboard in particular?

    ― quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

    I want to do the cruisin' down the street thing. I suppose any board would be better than the one I have now - which is none.

    Pete - do m&d still have my old Jeff Kendall at the house? That would suffice for more than the time being.

    Regardless, I miss skating. It was so fun.

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

    hmm - i bet they do. you might have to get some new trucks, but i bet it's still in good order.

    the problem i have with longboards is threefold (being TOTALLY frank):

    1)utility - if you ever DO want to do tricks, you wont be able to on a longboard
    2)aesthetics - i think people on longboards look pretty stupid
    3)convenience - youll definitely have to carry the board sometimes; carrying a longboard is way more trouble, and i think people carrying longboards look REALLY stupid

    ― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

    I got a haircut yesterday! Inspired by Mary, I asked him to make it more electroclash, and we decided that future haircuts will also be inspired by musical movements. I think next up will be noize, which will involve chunks of hair being cut out at random intervals. Then we will move on to what Greggggggg (my stylist) describes as "indie rock" hair, which will involve going shorter??? (I'm not sure this is the only "indie rock" option?). But we need more suggestions! Help me pimp my hair!

    Anyhow, I would wait until you evaluate my hair tomorrow (BIG HUNT BIG HUNT) before you decide if it is worth $60. When I first started going to Greggggg, his rate was $35. He does give me free trims in between actual haircuts, though. But geez, sixty bucks??? What am I, some sort of yuppie (don't answer that).

    "The next day, the X-Men and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard were teleported to the Blue Area of the moon where they would do battle, with the victors deciding the fate of Phoenix. The Imperial Guard was able to defeat all of the X-Men, leaving Cyclops and Phoenix alone to make a final stand against them. When a stray bolt of energy hit Cyclops, Jean Grey's panic overrode the psychic circuit-breakers Xavier had placed within her mind and the full might of Phoenix's powers were once more unleashed. At this point, Lilandra abandoned the delicate approach and ordered Plan Omega, which would consist of destroying the whole Solar system in hopes of eliminating Dark Phoenix in the process.

    With events spiralling out of control, Xavier ordered the X-Men to subdue Jean to preempt Lilandra's emergency measure. The team battled her until she regained her senses. Running to a back alley on the moon, Phoenix activated a Kree weapon and disintegrated herself in front of a helpless Cyclops. He later deduced that Jean had planned her sacrifice from the moment they had landed on the moon."

    from the super-skrull wiki:

    Several years later, Kl'rt developed cancer. Maddened with pain, he attacked the Canadian physicist superhero Sasquatch, who converted him into a stream of dissociated particles and transmitted him into Earth's van Allen belts. Peculiarly, when he was subsequently freed by the Silver Surfer, the cancer had vanished. This was caused by a "chronal anomaly" in the van Allen belt, which regressed the pattern of Kl'rt's body to a time before he had been exposed to Skrull carcinogens.

    Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1

    "More Than You Bargained For"

    After breaking up their respective relationships, Peter Parker and Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat, think about their lives. Despite having saved the world several times, both feel lonely and misunderstood. Kitty daydreams about her long-running crush Peter. Finally, she musters the strength to telephone him and ask him out for a date. Peter is amazed, but gladly agrees.

    Eating in a food court, Kitty and Peter are immediately attracted to each other. They find many points in which they connect, both as a superhero and as a person. Peter tells Kitty he is solo because his girlfriends would always be in danger. Kitty replies that this would not apply for superheroines (like her), and Peter says she has a point.

    Suddenly, there is an explosion. Peter turns into Spider-Man and tells her to stand back, until Kitty points out she is a superhero herself. With good teamwork, they take out the culprit, namely the Shocker. Spidey swings away with Kitty, and both state how much they enjoyed the date. Suddenly the Blackbird of the X-Men appears to take Kitty home. But just before takeoff, Kitty and Peter share a deep, passionate kiss.

    The Annual finishes with Peter and Kitty returning home very happy. The last panels show them chatting in the Internet.

    For all interested, I took my final to what I feel was at least a passing level of success last night. So - SUCCESS!

    I then went to a party over on Capitol Hill. Party was alright, until some band came on the radio that, during that song, sounded like the Fake Accents. I proceeded to attempt to pimp out Pete's band's performance tonight at Galaxy Hut with a "Hey. If you like these guys, or this song, you all should come and check out my brother's band tomorrow night."

    Dude gets all up in my grizz(ill) about "Emo being dead" and everyone who does emo being a "Weezer doppleganger" (actual quote). I looked at him and I said "Do you play an instrument?" His response was "No, but that's irrelevant." "Okay. I just wanted to know exactly how far to take your critical comments as to the importance of emo in today's rock bands. Thanks." He looked at me and had no idea what to do except brood and act like a petulant child for the rest of the time I was there.

    Which was only about 45 minutes, as a classmate of mine and I decided that, without beer, this party was pretty goddamn lame. So we walked in the rain to the Pour House. Where I fell walking down the wet stairs. Twice. At this point, I was not drunk - it was totally the torrential downpours that caused my slip. Regardless of the cause, my left asscheek and rear thigh are SO sore this morning, it sucks. But that would be a fond memory of a drunken evening if

    I HADN'T FALLEN ASLEEP ON THE METRO!!!!! or passed out. But I wasn't that drunk...regardless .....I FELL ASLEEP ON THE METRO!!!!!

    So, I wake up in Vienna at 2:45. I miss the train back to the city, which would have carried my drunk ass home, so I had to call a Red Top cab from the Vienna Metro at 3am this morning and pay 25 dollars for a ride home. I made it home, walked the dog, and then passed out.

    I am making ribs, biscuits and cole slaw this afternoon and will probably take a nap prior to the FA's appearance at Galaxy Hut. I hope to see you all there.

    big unexpected bonus to having Ally's bday fall on Mother's Day this year is my Dad's usual phone call of "Hey Tom! This is your Dad, reminding you that today is Mother's Day!" immediately transitioned into "Let's sing Ally Happy Birthday together! Hold the phone up!" which while its own form of unique disaster was not as demoralizing as the norm, by a long shot.

    Good times at the Hut last night! Totally worth endless Metro-ing with the whole of the Law Enforcement Officers Association convention. With so many cops on board, why did I somehow feel LESS safe? Mr. Q and I debated whether or not off-duty cops outside their jurisdictions could carry arms on the DC metro.

    Hightlight of the Hut (aside from the FAs, of course): blonde chick enlisting her friend to pass her card to Mr. Q all "you should give this girl a call sometime" WHILE I WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE! I think this just reinforces my creepy suspicion that Mr. Q and I look more like brother and sister than husband and wife.

    Happy happy birthday to Ally and happy mothers' day to all da mothers, particularly Mother Q., who is, all in all, pretty awesome.

    Oh and Tom: please to explain preparation of buffalo burgers--I bought some ground buff. at the market this a.m. After my disastrous buffalo chili experience I am a bit gun-shy on this. Is ponzu essential to maximal buffalo enjoyment or do I just have to grill it really rare or add fat somehow or what?

    ― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 14 May 2006 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

    Wait, how did you get to the market? We were just wondering--because the metro is totally fucked here, someone got hit by train apparently at like 10am. We didn't think to call you until we got home! We were like oh noes where is q did we miss her we should be able to see her if she's here and then were like oh duh, phones exist. Sorry :\

    Also re: buffalo burgers, ponzu is not essential but some kind of marinade addition really helps with keeping it from drying out. And yes, cook for much less than you'd do a regular burger, aim for a time that would make a regular burger much rarer than you'd like, and that will be when the buffalo is done. Tom suggests using a toothpick and inserting into center of patty. If toothpick comes out warm you're good. Not sure what this means but I guess it worked for him. I think he cooked them for maybe 10 minutes max total when he made them.

    OHHH and I found a rabbit guy, he said in like two weeks he'll have killed more bunnies for people to eat!

    happy birthday ally!

    what is ponzu? I had a buffalo burger today as well. (before I read this. it just seemed like a good idea.) I had no idea how to cook it plus was feeling lazy/slightly hung over so I just put it on the foreman grill randomly found in the cabinet, I have never used one before. pretty good.

    those law enforcement convention people are all over, I was trying to get on the mass ave/3rd st tunnel yesterday to 395 and there were cops everywhere. they all look exactly the same. khaki shorts, white sneakers, polo shirt, very short hair/near buzz cut. it was kind of scary.

    ― dar1a g (daria g), Sunday, 14 May 2006 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

    I drove to market (as is my lazy ass custom), noticed that there were a bunch of cops around, but thought "oh just here for the convention etc. etc." until I saw there was yellow police tape all over the north metro entrance. For some reason I figured there was some sort of emergency station closing for maintenence or something--bummer to hear that someone was hit.

    Honestly this weekend I wish I'd had a camera phone because I was rather amazed at the diversity of cop uniformage on display. Last night on the Metro there were at least three different fancy-dress uniforms in our car alone, and I saw another half a dozen or so different regular uniforms, including one rather unfortunate combination of brown pants with mustard stripes down the side, paired with lemon yellow safari-type shirt. Bad choice, copper dudes. I did not see a single chick in uniform, but plenty of wifey types wearing "support our law enforcement officers" T-shirts with eagles and american flags and crap on them. I think all of this would have made for great Post fashion column fodder.

    But yeah, lots and lots and lots of buzz cuts.

    dude, yeah they are. I was actually visiting my grandmother last month and we looked through some old photos of her husband, my grandfather, who was cop in Philly. He was either a stone, dead-eyed scary man in the pictures, or a smiling, laughing, joking around dude. My grandmother said "Well, he was a cop. They kind of know how to be intimidating."

    I saw some dudes in non-DC uniform today with ponchos on that had holes in the side for their GIANT guns. Maybe not Dirty Harry, but jeebus. And they were nice as can be when I asked them to stand to the right on the way down the escalator - FUCKING TOURIST COPS!

I now present the issue for public comment (particularly WHERE such a thing would happen). There must be someplace with killer happy hour specials (AHEM BRIAN) that we have not yet considered???

    ― quincie (quincie), Monday, 15 May 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

    Biddy Mulligan's
    - celtic music? Because the stuff makes me seize, I swear

    Big Hunt
    + better seating options in that other room???

    Porter's
    + we should investigate

    The Brickskeller
    NO! I pledge allegiance to Beeradiso on this one (too bad not so conveniently located--but such good beer! so reasonably priced on Tuesdays! good food!)

    Lindy's Red Lion
    + maybe not so many GW students in the summer?

    Science Club
    - i've already blown my portion of our tax return; cheapness is U&K

    Circle Bistro
    - see above

    Elephant & Castle

    we still do not have a place to live anywhere, let alone nyc, at the end of the month. but we may well have a party in the few short weekends that remain at which the guests can fite over our free bookcases if they want. you will be invited.

    Penn Ave SE by day is a pleasing, if mild, mix of Parisian (well, ok, not architecturally) and raffish. By night it is excellent for encountering the North American Frattus Boyus, which flies here from all over the country, but there are few other attractions. The block or two just to the East of Hart SOB/Scotus, East Capitol St, and Lincoln Park can be very nice in late afternoon, and early evening, but the spooky desertion of residential streets cuts both ways after dark. Nice to have a friend there with a house/backyard/alley.

    I believe P. Kennedy spent his fateful evening at the Hawk 'n Dove, which has lots less personality than the Tune Inn.

    Go back? he thought. No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go
    forward? Only thing to do! On we go! So up he got, and trotted along
    with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the
    wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.

    You just missed us, dar1a! (Us = Brian and me). We left soussi just before 8 for more "research" regarding Tuesday night FAP sites (results will be published later--all I will say now is that Amsterdam Falafel did not disappoint!).

    B. helped de-uglify my resume and today I am playing hooky to apply for some jobbies! Maybe I can get ILX to write my cover letters, too?

    "Today, though the two are still tireless explorers, ready to brave the icy stares of locals crowding Maryland's dive bars (the only place to find the state's signature "stuffed ham"). . .

    ― I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog (teenagequiet), Thursday, 18 May 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

    OK I'm not even sure a whole bunch of weed would make this appetizing:

    St. Mary's County Stuffed Ham is still a strictly local food - unknown outside of southern Maryland. Stuffed ham came about when some thrifty cook decided to stuff some greens in the cavity that was left when the ham bone was removed from a ham hock. The greens - usually kale - are chopped and mixed with spices, and then the stuffed ham is cooked. After it is cooked, when it is sliced, there is a center of greens in each slice

    Yeah I'm not so keen on ham either, and eat pretty much ANYTHING. I mean I'd take any number of innards over ham.

    No no no those are bunnies! Kiwis look like double amputees! What an odd animal. Someone post pic please; I don't know how and I don't want Ally to yell at me for doing it wrong.

    ― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

    Well if they aren't those bunnies I don't 'em. Particularly if a baby kiwi is NOT the one that is all stretched out. Cos that one is cuter than anything I've ever seen in my life.

    is there anything in particular you wanted to know about it? people
    make it for church suppers and the stuffing is greenish. it can be
    made in such a way that it is a bacteria risk, and a year or two ago
    the health department went around showing people how to make it in a
    safer way.

    ― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 19 May 2006 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

    ok well it started out innocuously annoying enough, just two dumbass German tourists standing on the way of the escalator. Who apparently could not understand any permeation of "Excuse me" "Pardon me" "MOVE YOUR BLEACHED BLONDE ASS" etc etc. OK whatever. But then at the top of the escalator they proceed to STOP AND TAKE OUT THEIR MAP AND DISCUSS THEIR NEXT MOVE (keep in mind it's like 9:15 right now, at Metrocenter). They are literally two inches from the top of the escalator. It is impossible to get past them. They kind of get crowded and tossed around so they move up slowly, being all like "Oh so sorry ha ha ha" to every dude who basically shoves them. Then this old black lady goes to pass and they just won't move, so she finally yells "PPL ARE TRYING TO GO TO WORK, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE" and they start saying some REALLY AWFUL RACIST SHIT IN GERMAN. I'm right behind them so I repeat "PPL ARE TRYING TO GO TO WORK, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE" except I also threw in "cunts" and said it to them in German and they get all horrified and start doing the "oh so sorry" act again. So I called them Nazis, asked them why they were nice to white ppl but rude to this poor old lady, and ended up SHOVING one of the bitches to the ground because they were all uppity about being told off about their racism.

    Then I bust out laughing and yelled "PLOTZ" at her which is the german command to tell a dog to sit and stay and then old lady and I "ran" out of the metro.

    This is officially the second time I've been involved in a physical confrontation on a form of public transport. I think maybe I should be worried a little.

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 19 May 2006 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

    I assume you and the old lady ran out of the station, carjacked a convertible, and went on a cross-country road trip fighting injustice and ugly shoes wherever you found them.

    ― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 19 May 2006 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

    Hi Mary! You've been so scarce this week :(

    Tonight will be halibut and six feet under. Tomorrow I need to build a deer fence and get my tomatoes and peppers in the ground. Also pick up dry cleaning and go to wedding.

    Sunday: farmer's market, Hirschhorn, friends over for dinner.

    Es tu?

    xpost to Stephen: I've not had bird problems with the tomatoes, only rat problems. I think it is better when you are surrounded by other people growing stuff because then you are not the sole target. But yeah, gun sounds like a good idea.

    Oh damn I probably missed you, Mary! But Wintergreen plaza has lots of stuff, including a Ten Ren (sp?) for teas. Further north there are two asian grocery stores, a crazy japanese snack store (I forget the name), and the wonderful Bob's Noodle (Tawainese) all in a group more or less at the intersection of 355 and I think Washington? And Pete is totally OTM about Joe's and A&J--I'm kinda meh on Vegetable Garden (although it is located next to Gregggggg at PR&Parners if you need a haircut) and I haven't been to the other two he mentioned.

    China Canteen on 355 just before Gude is great for Szechuan (as is Joe's), but I wouldn't recommend it unless one is in the company of a skilled translator or you will be eating egg rolls and hot and sour soup against your will. I also love Michael Noodle and the adjacent Asian grocer and bubble tea cafe in Travilah (sp?) Square on Darnestown road, less than a mile from the Shady Grove intersection. Also somewhere on Travilah road is Shanghai Cafe, which has great Shanghai (duh) specialties, including wonderful eggplant in garlic sauce.

    Great, now I'm starving! Seriously, if anyone finds themselves up that way during the week let me know and we can have totally worthwhile culinary adventures--it's one of the few things that makes working in the 'burbs tolerable!

    OK also this: SilverDocs preview party on Weds at Cue Bar (anyone been to this place AHEM BRIAN?) 6:30-9:00--trailers and "fabulous drink specials" promised. I feel that if I see some trailers I can make better decisions and actually make it out to more stuff this year.

    ― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 21 May 2006 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

    Thanks all. I went to Taiga Japanese bookstore, which was disappointingly meager--in the Talbott Center. Then I pulled into a plaza that had a Shiseido and looked promising, but it had nothing besides a Sam Woo Korean restaurant that looked good, so I pulled back out. I then went to the Ten Ren Tea, which was as fine as expected, though housed in a curious strip--which seemed to include a fetish store. Ten Ren Tea is surprisingly about half as cheap for bubble tea than the non chain places in Annandale. Then I went to Joe's Noodles, which was great--loved the pink walls. I wanted to go Aji Ichiban--probably the treats place you mention, but couldn't find it and headed back home. It was hard to drive the Pike and also scout for places at the same time. Mapquest made me do this confusing thing where I got onto 270 then took a couple rights and lefts and then ended up on the Pike--whereas I think I could have just stayed on 495 for a Pike exit? I want to further explore Rockville and Bethesda (has anyone been to Japanese grocer Daruma?) and Silver Spring. The places I saw in Rockville weren't half as bustling as the Annandale or Seven Corner Asian "Supernodes." Am I missing something, or is Rockville just a sleepier kind of place?

    ― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 21 May 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

    Q, Cue Bar is kind of a dressed up pool hall, but really only dressed up by pool hall standards (new, color coordinated). They have a big projection screen with some seats around it but if it gets a decent crowd it'll be hard to find a good place to watch. They also have a ping pong table.

    ― dar1a g (daria g), Sunday, 21 May 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

    The ping-pong table kind of curdled my goodwill toward Cue Bar--it made it seem a little too rec-room like, which is dangerous considering how close that place is to the Ellington.

    And let me assure you that nothing smells quite like old camping gear that's been in a basement for a couple of years--if Miss Havisham hiked, I think I know what her gaiters would smell like. Quincie, after an inventory I've discovered we still have urgent gear needs! Can I take you up on your kind offer and rummage through your equipment locker?

    ― Stephen X (Stephen X), Sunday, 21 May 2006 22:13 (nineteen years ago)

    hey baby--can i rummage through your equipment locker?

    ― mookieproof (mookieproof), Sunday, 21 May 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

    I love okonomiyaki. I know a couple restaurants in NY that serve it (including Hiroshima-style--with noodles inside) but I haven't seen it around here. If I had to take a guess, I would say the best bets would be Tako Grill in Bethesda (I just checked their menu and it's not on it, but maybe they make it) or Blue Ocean in Fairfax (can't find an on-line menu for them). Next time I'm near there I'll see if I can check their menu.

    ― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 21 May 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

    Can I take you up on your kind offer and rummage through your equipment locker?

    Of course! I have both internal and external frame backpacks, a pretty bomb-proof (or at least driving rain-proof) 2 (big)- to 3 (smaller)-person tent, reliable camp stove, H20 purifier, and probably some other stuff--oh yeah a -20 sleeping bag that may or may not be sufficient for Alaska (I tend to add 20 degrees to all of those temp. ratings, but this one earned Backpacker Mag's approval and has kept me warm in chilly Adirondack springs). I've not made good use of any of it for a couple of years, but it has been well stored and smells OK!

    I wanted to go Aji Ichiban--probably the treats place you mentioned

    Yep, that's the one. It is in a strip mall curiously oriented perpendicular to the Pike, so pretty much impossible to spot from the road. I'll draw you a map the next time I see you! They have at least a dozen varieties of salty plums, so I think it is worth the trip.

    Not that I like salty plums. I just like to know I have a broad choice should I decide I need some.

    Anyone else interested in doing Cue Bar on Wednesday in lieu of standing Tuesday??? I need to do some doc research!

    Daruma is teeny-tiny--I think your Japanese yen would be better served elsewhere.

    ― quincie (quincie), Monday, 22 May 2006 00:22 (nineteen years ago)

    There is a Japanese restaurant here on the Hill, I wonder if they have it. I should ask them.. I got a very good chirashi salad from there last week. But perhaps the way to go is to a Japanese grocery and find a mix? we should have a party and make lots of it. maybe I could also find different types of furikake seasoning & more styrofoam flavor snacks

    there is a Japanese/Filipino grocery right up the street from where you live, quincie, maybe they have okonomiyaki mix?

    Vegas is a shithole, in the middle of nowhere, that is trying extremely hard to be the best place on Earth. I maintain that they haven't succeeded, by a long shot, but I salute the hardworking people of Nevada for their efforts. I wish the Dancing Jackass had actually been there.

    Guys kept asking me to go to Caesar's Palace with them--wtf does that even mean? I maintain that Vegas kind of sucked but I'm not sure what I expected since I'm not so into naked tore up ladies and craps, you know?

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 22 May 2006 03:23 (nineteen years ago)

    Vegas is really close to lots of places I want to go, but I think I'd prefer Phoenix as a gateway. If I do ever go there, i think I'll stay out of town. Or maybe really far out of town.

    I was upset that Vegas seemed to be more Desert Disneyland than Leaving Las Vegas. There seemed to be some cool pockets here and there but the main part of the strip was horrible.

    The Elvis-A-Rama was really good but I hear they are closing it. I didn't make it but I heard the Liberace Museum was also worthy.

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

    The guidos part I can understand entirely, though.

    ― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

    That's basically all there is to it, guidos and douchebags and trash. Plus the constant sound of ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding and the inherent creepiness of old women gambling away the last of their money. I don't actually gamble nor do I have interest in watching Dirk Arthur pull tigers out of his ass so there's not much there for us to do. Though maybe Carrot Top and the tore up strippers who even looked bad in the photoshopped ad would've been worth $200 a head???

    ― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

    Maybe if we were there longer, and I had resigned myself to this idiocy, it would've been better. If you do go, which is highly unnecessary, do not stay at the Luxor or probably any of the themey looking ones. Luxor was crap, Excaliber was utterly terrifying inside, I refused to even set foot in NY NY, etc. MGM Grand was nice. Our friends all stayed at the Bellagio which they said was nice but it should be for that much money a room.

    Did anyone see Ice-T on Cribs? He was AWESOME. Apart from his being one of my favorite rappers ever, he had a soda machine and a snack machine in his house. The reason?

    OK how do I go about securing the letters that make up that sign? Seriously, at the very least I really, really want the retro "G" from the ghetto giant near my place--the building is being completely redone in the next year or so and surely they will not have use for the sign letters any more. So do I just chat up construction dudes or e-mail the vice president of giant or something?

    Round-the-clock watchfulness. When the Church of the Rapture took down their awesome heaven-and-hell sign, it was headed for the dumpster 'til some Saint-Exers jumped up from their tables and grabbed it.

    I love that GIANT FOOD sign. It makes me think they sell peas the size of basketballs.

    ― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

    Q, maybe get the name of the construction company (should be posted) and call and ask for the project manager and ask what they're planning on doing with the sign. Or you may have better luck when they're working - ask for the site superintendent.
