OMG BEST MOVIE EVER

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 August 2006 14:49 (eighteen years ago)

National Archives -- Like the Library of Congress, this collection of our nation’s history is most often used as a setting for research. In JFK, Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) searched its corridors in vain for clues to the Kennedy assassination. Look for the National Archives in All the President’s Men, Eraser, JFK, Protocol, Shadow Conspiracy, and True Colors.

secret home fries magic:

1. peel and chop potatoes into home fry size. This is precisely the same size as 1/3rd of your pinky finger.
2. toss in bowl with olive oil and seasonings (salt and black pepper, perhaps some old bay, perhaps some garlic powder, whatever) until all chunks have been resolutely tossed with true conviction.
3. dump 100% of bowl contents into cast iron frying pan at medium high. medium high is the exact temperature at which oil is burblin' burblin' but not yet spittin' spittin'. use an implement other than your hand or a knife to push fries around until each is approximately 50% immersed in oil.
4. Let the burblin' continue unmolested for a number of minutes between 9 and 11.
5. Go back in time at least 15-20 minutes and tune the oven to a frequency of 275 fahrenheits.
6. Return to the present time and use fireproof mitten to place entire cast iron pan and its contents into oven. top shelf is where it's at.
7. Like a half hour will pass. check and make sure oil keeps burblin, and that the tops of the fries are becoming the umber that isn't burnt.
8. When you are happy, turn off the oven. Remove pan from oven. Remove contents of pan, put on bowl or plate. Eat contents of bowl or plate. Use a fork.

Tombot, that's how I do home fried potatoes do, sorta. Okay not really. I chop em up, boil until they're soft and then I pan sear (ha!) them until they are crispy.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

I, too, could support that.

Give me twice baked any day. Not so much of a mashed fan, but a good roasted is awesome.

Tom, I am making that homefries recipe this weekend. For sure.

― Esquire, Bitch. (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 28 August 2006 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

Secret home fries magic is to use last night's chips, preferably from a chip shop that fries in beef dripping, chop up with scissors, fry up with onions and a little chilli in some bacon dripping.

Last night, KG hit the hay way early and I was left w/Aussie and In-Laws. Aussie's train left Union Station this morning @ 3 am, so K's Dad offered to drive her there. Aussie said thanks, but she'd planned to take the bus downtown to say goodbye to her friend at the youth hostel (11th & K or something?) and then see a movie (at 11 at night???) and then walk all the way to Union Station (at 2 am) with two giant backpacks and another huge bag of clothes. Aussie is like 18 years old, too.

What followed was this gigantically awkward moment: K's dad trying not to fly into a rage and tell her that this was a dumbass idea, and gently persuading her that he should let him drive her there. I believe the phrase, "Well if you want to be stupid, go right ahead," was used at least twice. So Aussie took bus downtown at 10, K's dad drove to youth hostel at 2, called her cell phone, she said she'd be right down. Pulls up to the curb ten minutes later in a cab.

She did leave us a bottle of wine, though. Kate's dad is a saint, too.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

wait I didn't hear about the cab part! What was she doing in cab? Why didn't she just take said cab to station?

She left her bags in the back of your parents rental so she wouldn't have to carry them around. Seriously, up until that point last night I thought, "Wow, this kid is great travelling around like this."

Hey Forgot My Pencil, I am sure your curiosity about me directing you here was assuaged once you read Tombot’s fucking classic secret home fries magic. Your tuna mornay recipe sprung immediately to mind, with its “essence of pirate” and “stir in tomato paste ‘til you feel like getting’ nasty”. Your recipe requires time travel too, in the form of your favourite spirals already being boiled DA DAAAH. Methinks Tombot’s recipe might have to join yours in my cookbook. Amusing recipes always up the cooking fun factor.

I hope everyone had a good Labor Day. The wife and I saw out the day with a nice meal of a home-grilled tri tip, asparagus, zucchini, and squash, and a couple bottles of wine with another couple. We then went out and met another couple for a drink. On the way to the car, I attempted to slide down a handrail, but, being as I was drunk, I fell backwards and split my head open on the concrete stairs. 8 stiches and a seriously wounded pride later, my wife says "You know, when I said you were a catch the other day, I meant it. You're a twelve year old, but I meant it."

Don't slide down handrails drunk. Not good.

uh lesse...appetizers were heirloom tomatoes w/fresh mozarella and sea salt, and a crab soup (which was the only disappointment of the evening - my mom could have made that, and better), entrees were maine diver scallops w/pickled wax beans (surprisingly awesome), wild mushrooms, and a sweet corn confit, and a sockeye salmon (spiced with god's sweat or something - REALLY good) w/lobster, potatoes, greens and a super delicious creamish sauce. desserts were a peach galette w/orange ice cream that we melted over the hot peaches, and a bread pudding that was made from croissants and had chunks of melted bitter chocolate and was king of all bread puddings past present and future. wine was good and cheapish beaujolais and since desserts came out a little late, they brought us free port and some sweet white dessert wine, both matched to the desserts.

our waiter was great and totally didn't even give us snoot for going w/the prix fixe thing.

Mary for your birthday I wrote you a song about Paul Allen. It's called "Paul Allen."

Paul Allen!

Paul Allen was born into a modest Jewish family in Seattle in 1953!

Paul Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks!

Paul Allen helped Bill Gates buy QDOS for fifty thousand dollars back in 1980!

Paul Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and got a bone marrow transplant and some radiation!

Paul Allen founded the Experience Music Project!

Paul Allen's house is seventy thousand square feet on six acres of Mercer Island!

Paul Allen funded a two-year lawsuit to get Jimi Hendrix's family the rights back to Jimi's music!

Paul Allen was the sole investor in the first privately funded effort to successfully put a civilian in space; that means Paul Allen won the Ansari X-Prize!

Paul Allen owns the Portland Trail Blazers!

Paul Allen has a fly named after him for his contributions to Dipterology: Eristalis Alleni, Paul Allen's Flower Fly!

Paul Allen's biggest yacht is the Octopus, the fourth biggest yacht in the world!

Paul Allen dated Miss USA 1985, Laura Harring, who was in Mulholland Drive, a film by David Lynch!

Paul Allen owns the Sporting News!

Paul Allen's other two yachts are named Tatoosh and Méduse!

Paul Allen!

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:16 (eighteen years ago)

That song is awesome. What is the tune? Will you sing it for us tonight?

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

Also: Paul Allen is the name of Jared Leto's character in American Psycho. This is NOT the same name the character has in the book, however.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago)

I think Seattle's mayor & cronies cut some kind of deal with him to get him to buy the Seahawks so they wouldn't lose the team to LA. Like "turn south lake union into a biotech yuppie playground or whatever you want, just get us our football team"

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:26 (eighteen years ago)

Happy Birthday, Mary! I'm going to have to bail on tonight, though. I'm still getting over whatever sickness Kate had last week and my cough makes me sound 87 years old.

update for PLSMIFF

1. using Sap made Red Horn look like a pushover. Yangus did like 1183 to him in one hit & he wasn't even fully psyched! Bonus, using Gold Rush on him netted me 400G, wasn't expecting that. After Red bit it Blue was a complete non-issue. If I were him I would've fled, but I guess that's just not in the Boss Monster Handbook.

2. The duelling siblings made up after the rescue and then went on to open up the doors with the burning handles together. Inside was a crystal ball that played back a scratchy hologram of the Original Golding explaining how as long as his bloodline carries on the world will remain safe. In zero surprise territory, Original Golding looks just like a statue in Baccarat. Siblings make the point that the bloodline ended when their adoptive father died. Blah blah blah, go back to town, Casino is reopened, the party receives 600 tokens to gamble with which I proceeded to fritter away in about 20 minutes of slots and roulette. Seriously, what a scam.

3. Went back to the regular storyline and travelled to the snowy north. Lots of snow, complaints about how cold it is from everyone, then an avalanche buries the party except for Trode + Medea. Wake up in a house belonging to a babushka named Marta who gives us tea. Marta sends us to the main village down the road (Orkutsk) with a bag of herbs for a man named Marek.

4. Arrived Orkutsk, Marek is out cultivating and gathering herbs in a cave to the northwest, nobody has seen a big black dog carrying a sceptre but there have been reports of increased wolf activity.

5. Arrived cave, find Marek trapped behind giant falled icicles and freezing to death. Send pet rat through icicles to go 'round the other side and cause another icicle to drop from the ceiling creating an ice bridge, help Marek by giving him bag of herbs from Marta who as it turns out is his estranged mother. Leave cave.

6. Wolves ("hellhounds") outside waiting on you. Unremarkable combat ensues. Then a voice is heard saying that Marek is not the one they want. Remaining wolves retreat.

7. Return to Orkutsk, Marek admits that 1. he is descended from one of the seven stages, but is not the chosen heir, so it must be his mother, who lives in the mountains alone because part of the traditional duties as an heir is to guard their ancestors' little cave temple behind her house.

8. Zoom to house to find wolves have taken over. Kill a bunch of wolves in the house, no sign of Marta. Go to cave temple, find Marta and her St. Bernard, Boris, hanging out inside a magical circle of protection. Everything is fine until you finish talking to Marta about meeting Marek, at which point Marta's house is set on fire and it turns out the dog w/ the sceptre is waiting outside with Marek as a hostage.

9. Marta sacrifices herself to save her son's life. Sad. Evil Dog Formerly Known As Leopold grows wings and flies off to the east. Marek and Boris are grief-stricken. You on the other hand have to chase after a flying dog, so what better to do than read the writing carved into the temple stones, which happen to tell you all about the God-bird Empyrea, who helped the Seven Sages the first time around, hey, might help you out too.

10. Sail around world looking for inaccessible secret island that is supposedly home to God-bird. Finally hear from a musclebound shirtless luchador that ye olde infamous pirate Captain Crow supposedly had an illuminated map showing a mysterious secret island, and from some other dork that there is a cave under a bridge accessible if you sail down some river blah blah blah it might be Captain Crow's old hideout whaddaya think.

That's all you missed! Oh and I found the cave but haven't explored it much.

Alexandria is really getting to be the place to be, isn't it? (not really) I almost had my mom take me to bday dinner at Restaurant Eve (parent of the new fishy) but I looked at their menu and realized it's not really my kind of place.

And for chrissake I just altered my usual route from office to kitchen (and back again) so that I wouldn't have to pass by the office of She Who Invites Herself to Meetings.

I don't think I can actually fire this person :(

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

I mean she would totally sue me and HR would make me take her back ;_;

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 18:08 (eighteen years ago)

why?

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

you can gather enough undeniable shit in a week to fire anyone as long as you're not the ONLY person in the office who hates her. Additionally all it takes is one HR complaint about anything and you can get said person removed from the office for a little while. It's great, Lockheed treats everybody like they're five years old.

Actually my plan might be to lay her off. Less mess that way.

Oh my god it is truly tempting to tell IHML she needs to go to a Stephen X meeting. The fact that completely didn't belong there would not in the least bit prevent her from hijacking the meeting and somehow making it all about HER. Or her kids. Or parents. Or whatever.

Hahahah oh my god I am going to off myself.

Today I had to complete two corporate trainings: "Managing Troubled Employees" and "Managing Troubling Situations." According to these trainings, the fact that I just said I was going to off myself means all of you should immediately call 911, Legal, Security, HR, and Labor Relations. In that order.

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

Jeez. I'd call 911 & Security first. The rest of those paper pushers can wait.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

Note that Mr. Que, who actually once had to deal with a very Troubled Employee in a very Troubling Situation, managed to do just fine without having to waste an hour on stupid training.

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

Also: this training also sagely advised me that, should a Troubled Employee brandish a weapon, I should "stay at arm's length."

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:32 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, though. I fear leaving work...I fear Teddy Ruxpin might be around the corner, waiting with Bear Sauce.

One of his trademarks of production is that he refers to different takes as "Takey-poohs", which greatly irritated the members of the band Yes when he worked with them on their 1978 album Tormato.

I had a freelance project due (moving content from association website to new information architecture.. snooz..) and it was due yesterday, so stayed up really late tues night, and wasn't done, and sent myself the wrong file @ work so couldn't do anything more until I got home yesterday evening, and it took forever. (whether or not I pick up more work for the same project is contingent on my not screwing up this initial chunk of work.. so.. had to get it done!) sorry!

haha kate we're the opening band. the others - arbouretum and evangelicals - are supposed to be goodish, though i've never listened to em. pete likes arbouretum and i'll totally defer to him there, and pfork loves evangelicals but i'm not sure i'll defer to them quite so readily.

― Lazy Comet (plsmith), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

(before anyone asks there are no awesome face shots of Carson Palmer or Brett Favre on the web, anywhere, today, so they are disqualified from the competition)

xpost no those are all QBs, not all Colts

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

OK I think I pick the hairy guy. Who is that?

WAIT BRETT FAVRE IS A COLT? SO CONFUSED!

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

Hairy Guy is Jake "Weed Jesus" Plummer

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Oh whoops OK I was a little confused that I chose some sort of white supremacist team. Who does the hairy one play for?

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

i like the jeopardy guy he seems smart

― ZR (teenagequiet), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I like the bald guy. He seems so not football.

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

I pick Eli Manning. He looks the most indie. Are he and Peyton brothers?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

I like sports teams named after mythical creatures. Any I can support?

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

Is "Chad Pennington" just about the least NFL name ever? It sounds like somebody who'd hit into your foursome at the yacht club's Summer Scramble.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

Hair Guy plays for Denver!
Eli Manning is Peyton's brother! Also, kudos, he is my pick too!
Brian, you should root for the Giants! You might prefer the Titans, since technically gigantism is a real disorder and not mythical though.
Chad Pennington sounds more like a character from the OC!
I don't know what's going on in that Matt Hasselbeck/Jeopardy pic!

OH HE'S FLIPPING A COIN ALLY!

― Lazy Comet (plsmith), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

Dude. Not cheering for the Colts based on what happened 23 years ago is like not cheering for the Ravens based upon what happened 8 years ago.

Baltimore has a new team, and that team will be kicking much ass this year. Cheer for the Ravens. Ray Lewis is the best dancer in the history of the NFL, including Icky Woods and Deon Sanders.

― Lazy Comet (plsmith), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, that's pretty cute. I like that!

I've given up my grudge against Jake Plummer so it's cool to pick him now.

Uh dude the Ravens are douchebags.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

I go to a crappy meeting come back and this thread gets full of awesomeness.

Missing the word "into" makes this a fascinating sentence.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 September 2006 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

Ally, I propose a bet.

The Steelers and the Rayvens play twice - 11/26 and 12/24.
Whichever team wins more, that person wins. In the event of a tie, the combined score of both games will serve as the tiebreaker.

Stake: One sixer of local brew to the winner. Iron City v. Natty Boh

― Esquire, Bitch. (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 7 September 2006 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

You know Chad wouldn't be the most considerate foursome addition. It's all about him.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 7 September 2006 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

Pretty sad that someone on the WEST coast posts - from work - first on an EAST coast related board, people.

But, taking into account the football game and the FAs show, I understand if you all are a little behind.

Fair enough.

I can't even put on pants w/out like three cups of beautiful, beautiful coffee.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:10 (eighteen years ago)

Dude now that you mention it I don't know how I do that at all

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:12 (eighteen years ago)

Bullshit. I've seen you with pants.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

Andy I cannot in good faith take you up on a bet that stupid, for the same reason I do not go around kicking homeless people or spitting on pidgeons. It's just not fair. I'm going to win that bet. Pick someone else the Ravens play that would be a better bet for you and I'll go in on it. Like the Browns.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

Going to the Ravens website is educational though! I just learned all about the before unknown to me "flexible scheduling" of 2006!

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

This is a bet about the best kind of stupidity: home town love.

Take me up on it, Ally. Give me a reason to scream at the television when I figure out that the damn West Coast channels aren't carrying either game.

And, in the end, its not like Boh or IC are Samuel Smith's and cost like $10/sixer.

― Esquire, Bitch. (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago)

It goes against my religion to take up bets like that. I'm also not really a big fan of Iron City.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:31 (eighteen years ago)

Kate made me drink Iron City Light first time we went to Pbugh. It tasted like Mountain Dew.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:36 (eighteen years ago)

Oh no. You misundaztood. Whoever wins gets to make the other person drink the hometown brew. I assumed that you were not a fan of Iron City.

Oh that's pretty good Andy. That's menacing.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

Damnit, Ally. I need ACTION. ACTION to make things interesting.

Also, Boh, love it as I do, is ass. In the broad scheme of the beer spectrum, it is smack dab in between toilet water (Oly Ice) and frat basement wash-off (Golden Anniversary Ice). In a pinch, or on a hot day, an ice cold Boh would be a good thing. But, given any choice in the matter, I would look askance at drinking on.

ZR, feel free to begin not associating with me.

No, I just think it's kinda silly for people who are from Baltimore to root for the Cleveland Browns in disguise. I mean that's like saying every person from the DC area should be Nats fans out of the blue.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, GoodGodHolyShitBagofDemonsBeGONE!!!

DC is not Baltimore, Baltimore is not DC. I never was a Redskins fan, and I never will be a Redskins fan.

Unlike many current members of Raven nation, I actually saw the Colts at Memorial Stadium when they were still the Baltimore Colts. Then - they weren't. I cheer for BALTIMORE football teams.

Also - The Ravens do not equate with the Nats. The Ravens have won a Super Bowl. The Nats have won nada.

Also - Cleveland has a team again. They are the Browns.

I'm just sayin'. If the Giants left NY tomorrow (which, uh, they kind of did anyway despite the name) I wouldn't suddenly become a goddamned Jets fan. Your team sucks. They wear terrible shit, some of the worst in the league. Their owner is the second worst asshole in the league. Still, at least you're not a Cardinals fan so we can compromise on that. That would actually be the worst.

xpost you can go to Wikipedia if you want, but it seems like a lot of effort, I mean you don't need to know the team's entire life cycle history and all players ever been on it. The game is Sunday night!

My team does not suck. They actually have an offense this year, have consistently been one of the best defenses in the league (except last year), and won the Super Bowl in 2001.

You make my point for me - The Giants are to the Ravens as the Jets are to the Redskins. Same general metro area, totally different fan base. I didn't have a team for 15 years b/c there wasn't one in Baltimore.

ZR I basically couldn't give a shit about sports until I met Cool With Blue N White and I do tend to think that finding football interesting has improved my outlook on a few things. For one thing, the NFL is like one of the last things in America that resists getting dumber every year. The guys who make a living talking about it are generally - GENERALLY - not stupid, and if they are, they get called out on it every time, which is amazing and rare.

Pick my football team for me. I was raised a Redskins supporter, but they don't do a lot for me, and Joe Gibbs was mean to me and my friend once, so I am in the market for an exciting, fashionable football team, especially since since the free cable station now plays baseball and forgets about soccer and the people on the Liverpool thread only talk about transfers and never anything interesting.

Mary, I suggest three things when choosing a football team -
1. A geographic location that allows you to watch the games easily. Living on the East Coast and backing a West Coast team doesn't really work, time wise.
2. A city/area which you can at least somewhat relate to.
3. At least one player you love on that team.

So what is an "exciting" position in football? Other than QB, I mean. I want to pick a favorite Colt who actually does something exciting on a fairly regular basis.

Okay, I just looked at Wiki for an "outfit" browse. Q, you have done well, the Colts logo is awesome. I would join you if I didn't feel completely lookwarm about Indianopolis.

I am sort of liking either Buffalo or Pittsburgh. But the Buffalo logo is kind of dirt though pleasingly old-skool and the Pittsburg redesign is majorly corporate. So now I will have to resort to my fallback, cited number #3 by Andy, and shop for hot players.

the most exciting position in football is centerfield, John Madden will tell you

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

oh, I just realized the Pats were the Patiots--now way could I root for a team with a name as lame as the Patriots, and that does not even rate a specific geographical base (apologies if this is your team) though I would be willing to reconsider if the hotness clause worked in their favor.

Ally, the Giants logo did look great, but I never identified with NY teams when I lived there, it seems a bit strange to start now. But you are right, the logo is totally something that I could wear proudly.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

OK maybe I'll have two horse-related teams and two favorite QBs. Hairy guy, whose name I've already forgotten, and the Colts' backup QB, whose name I've also forgotton. I'm gonna write this stuff on my hand for Sunday.

― quincie (quincie), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

Tom Brady flat out looks like a Capitool. I warmed to him a little after his appearance on The Family Guy, but he still basically irritates me a lot.

I like that a last name like Vinatieri didn't tip you off to the guidoness!!

Football does take a lot of intelligence, a lot of those guys have to remember hundreds and hundreds of plays, and several positions are basically required by coaches to put in full hour work days studying opposing teams!

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/sports/football/08jets.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Sunday games I am interested in include

1 pm Buffalo at New England
4:15 pm don't care about any of them
8:15 pm Indianopolis at New York Giants

I asked my mom who I should support and she said the Redskins and then told me a story about a team who ran away in the middle of the night--but I can't remember who she was talking about. She didn't understand my policy of team picking based on logos and colors--I must be adopted.

I read an article about Monday night football on ESPN and something but I didn't really understand.

Non sports note: Getting down to the boogie on Saturday night. Mousetrap at Black Cat. Can the Q(s) still go --I have a feeling this is one of those things that the mister, like talking in the morning, just doesn't do? Does anyone else want to come?

1. Based on their show and new songs at Iota, Junior Boys are my favorite band in the world right now
2. Just because it's cooler outside doesn't mean it's cool enough to wear a suit
3. WAY to hot wear a suit at Wonderland
4. Leaving voice mails on client's voice mail at 1am from job sites shows you're a dedicated worker who calls it like you see it
5. Don't confuse Cafe Citron and Citronelle
6. Boxed pasta + Trader Joe's Indian simmer sauces = teh awesome
7. Allen & Heath mixers are all that and more
8. For optimal nightlife experience, disco naps should not go past midnight
9. The incredibly high prices at Waterworks pay for great customer service

oops I just realized I'm out of town next week :\ so, uh:

1) two weeks from now!
2) I need a volunteer to water my garden once or twice late next week, and a volunteer to feed the kitties Thurs-Sun. These two ppl will be paid in beer and an appetizer of choice (at Muttly's during football perhaps???).

how I forgot I was going to be in a completely different country I dunno. Which reminds me I also have to ask around to see where I can watch footballs in Britains.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Sunday, 10 September 2006 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

We've got the garden covered, Ally (we meaning me and Monsieur Q)! I'm being assigned a new plot, btw. Not sure where yet. Maybe I'll lobby for lower garden. Last I looked you had a big-ass squash of some sort--did you pick it yet?

― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 10 September 2006 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

I think I've gotten the sickness that's been going around--does this include feeling nautious after eating? So I'm cool with no bar viewing and will try to watch game at home tonight--until I get annoyed with the commercials that is. Newspapers say this is Eli's make or break year, not to put any pressure on him or anything. Q, I think you should find a starting qb to admire, or else hope that some strange accident will befall whoevever starts for the Colts.

Congrats Q! I think you should stay with the Colts and have Peyton Manning as your fave QB. I'm not sure football is for me after all. Eli Manning was adorable, as was TIki Barber. That Shockey (sp?) person was terrifying. The commercials were kinda a pain, and it was difficult to see whether the men under the helmets were crush-worthy or not.

Was Tom Brady one of our cute qb choices, Ally? If not, why??

http://espn.go.com/i/magazine/new/hot_brady_2.jpg

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 11 September 2006 02:36 (eighteen years ago)

Tom Brady was one of the choices of QBs, though I think he is uncute. Shockey is an awful douchebag with a crying eagle screensaver for a tattoo. The referring in tonight's game was AWFUL ;_;

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (allyzay), Monday, 11 September 2006 02:42 (eighteen years ago)

Oh good, I'm glad you don't like Shockey. The announcers said that New York fans love love love him. Yeah, the first picture of Brady was sort of workaday, but I saw him in a little picture on my TV screen tonight and became intrigued, then saw he has a bunch of Justin Timberlake press shots, hm...

Yeah, sorry there were some weird ref calls (not that I understood any of them but I gathered from the announcers that some of them were not kosher). I kind of liked the Colts kicker with an Italianite name... I just checked their roster, I guess Adam Vinatieri isn't that Italian. My mom said that the Colts coach looked anorexic ha ha.

In the preinterview RF bragged to the interviewer that he had many shots in his arsenal or whatever. I don't remember the exact phrasing but he was gushing about himself. Pretty funny.

A., why do the players put on baseball caps when they are on the sidelines? Are they afraid of helmet hair?

Most of them usually don't, actually. I think the reason all the Giants were wearing those caps was because of 9/11 and they were being forced by the Maras to put on those FDNY/NYPD caps.

The calls last night were very, very bad in the "seems like they're making up a rule out of their ass" way that they pulled with the playoff game re: Colts/Steelers, and I said last night that I can't keep sitting there defending the refs as being not THAT favoritist towards Peyton when the last two Colts games I've seen featured egregiously awful calls and absolutely nothing called against the Colts. Q, I think we have lead you to root for a team that will be labelled as "cheaters" and "teacher's pets" yet again by midseason :\

Fulham has no tube and it and its approaches are a warren of narrow streets blocked with chelsea tractors and estate agents in minis. When I rowed at school from putney I spent far too much of my life in traffic jams round there.

Soho should be an easy run up the picadilly line. Lots of busses too.

I was under the impression that the south-of-the-river Bodean's was in Clapham?? In any case, I can NOT say enough about Bodean's, at least the one in Soho. I was there for the 2003 (baseball) playoffs (Red Sox) and when the games went long, the owner, from Kansas City, gave us a bucket of 10 beers for 10 quid and said we could sit downstairs and he'd lock the outside doors and sit down there with us and put the game on the big plasma screen down there. CHA CHING. The two English guys who were in our "group", baseball fans inexplicably, were looking at me incredulously. "I mean, this kind of..

Hey you guys, readers both willful or inadvertent, I've left this form unfilled out for many months, owing to the fact that there has been little to say. But it's probably worth mentioning for those who follow such things that I will have a new book out in May of 2007, three novellas, entitled RIGHT LIVELIHOODS (Little, Brown & Co). The title does contain a pun. The stories included are two-thirds already published: "The Albertine Notes," from McSWEENEY's, "The Omega Force," from THE PARIS REVIEW, and "K&K," which will likely be forthcoming at some point. They all have to do with what Nabokov (in "Signs and Symbols") referred to as "referential mania," or the desire to impute meaning to things that don't necessarily deserve the effort.

Sad is not the word that describes how I felt when I saw Tom Cruise pretending to root, root, root for the hometeam with his kidnapped brainwash victim cold-sore lippy wifey. I was offended that they were defiling the great sport of football. Even if it was just a Skins-Vikes game.

Good Moody books:

Garden State
Ice Storm

So-so Moody book:

Ring of Brightest Angels

Not-so-good Moody book:

Purple America

Moody books I have not read and do not plan to read:

All the rest

Ally, I'm sure they're scared new coach'll spray food bits off his moustache at them while yelling, like all Midwest lamer douchebags who manage franchise restaurants seem to do. Maybe we can arrange spray-not-say in the direction of the Cruiser.

Will get real story about those Super Bowl tix off parent/sister - FWIR there is a bit more and a bit less to the thing.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Haven't read Garden State. It's somewhat redeemed by the fact that he thought of the Feelies while writing it. Thought the Ice Storm was boring. Mary, I still need to read The Verificationist.

It has one address with it and the t-mobile service gets my addresses via POP. Doesn't have the full corporate functionality. Mail + all the data I can eat costs me £12 unfortunately it is GPRS only in the UK as no network will invest in EDGE while they are pushing 3G. When I get outside the UK EDGE rocks (although I keep images off as I (or rather my work) is paying gold bars for kilobytes). I can't wait to be able to trade up for and HSDPA version.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

Tom you have, as long as I have known you, used your phone more as a battering ram/projectile missile than you have ever used it for text or for actually speaking with other human beings. A sidekick or blackberry is something I would theoretically use and not ever break. You really should consider more along these lines:

Just back from Nordstrom where I almost bought NAVY SHOES. Should I go back and get them next week? I don't own anything navy! Can you wear navy with brown? So clueless. . .

Anyhow, let us discuss over tofu.

― quincie (quincie), Friday, 15 September 2006 22:24 (eighteen years ago)

Navy w/ brown is at least better than navy w/ black.

Guys, in this time of DC crime crisis I would like to propose that the phrase "I was robbed by two men" join "UH" as part of our daily vocabulary. See following video:

(My mom doesn't get my fur-collared cardigan. Have I failed?)

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 17 September 2006 01:13 (eighteen years ago)

hey! hope the rest of the day went well. q I just checked my voicemail @ like 9:30 and realized you left me a message.. oops! didn't even hear the phone ring in that basement shop.

I'm so sorry I couldn't stick around. should have. you know I missed the stupid appointment anyways after making some very bad and time consuming decisions on how best to drive from takoma to 395 near springfield. story of my life.

It's a lovely cardigan though! My mom doesn't get a lot of the stuff I wear, but then she thinks wearing a giant oversized button down as a jacket all the time is a good fashion idea

― dar1a g (daria g), Sunday, 17 September 2006 01:40 (eighteen years ago)

I hope the shoe-shopping was successful, and that you'll all be scandalizing your colleagues with outrageous displays of toe cleavage.

I'm going to be making a visit to the Dupont farmer market Sunday; what should I expect to find there? Are they peaches there yet? And my beloved fava beans?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Sunday, 17 September 2006 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

There have been peaches for a while at just about every stall. Fava beans are out, or at least I didn't see them last time I was there.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Sunday, 17 September 2006 03:18 (eighteen years ago)

Just back from the farmer's market. Plenty of peaches (and apples!). The brief fava window has long been closed. Still tomatoes and corn to be had. Almost bought okra.

Also, if any of you plans to blow a tire in Silver Spring, Ken at Silver Spring Tire Co. at the corner of East-West Hwy and Georgia is awesome. I will returning for two new front tires as soon as I find myself with a mad cash surplus.

Dar1a I bought that houndstooth dress that was on the manaquin (sp?) at the bottom of the stairs at that underground vintage place. It is very, very short on me (I haven't displayed that much thigh in public in YEARS), but Mary said I must have it (also: only 35 bucks!) I hear you scored an awesome suit! Brian, we need posh happy hour recommendations wherein Mary, Dar1a, and I can debut our vintage purchases.

― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 17 September 2006 13:16 (eighteen years ago)

I suggest the good deals and delicious snacks at Taberna or the Round Robin Bar at the Willard for max clubby poshiness.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Sunday, 17 September 2006 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

Dammit, why is the universe trying to keep me from fava beans?

Looks like a gorgeous day out there--it deserves to be spent drinking outside. Hmm....

Congrats Ally and T-bo. Saw little Eli in the after-show talk--I thought at first he was a second-string announcer.

The Skins are biting it. I have given up due to too many damn commercials and the need to do homework plus their general suckiness.

Thank you Q for advising restraint for my purchases (and my wallet thanks you). I got caught up in the mad, heady Takoma Park vibe.

Does people want to do a New H street bar crawl? That martini lounge there might also be a possibility for poshy drinx.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

As long as I can wear my new dress! But what shoes to wear. . .

Thank you M for also for advising restraint, although I'm still a little wistful over that black dress that was cutting off blood supply to my brain.

I'm off to the NFL thread to ask some questions about "nickle defense," which Madden keeps yammering about.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:08 (eighteen years ago)

nickel defense is when, in a long-yardage situation, the defense uses five (5) defensive backs instead of the usual four (4)

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:09 (eighteen years ago)

Hi MK. Do they still away going for 2 points after a touchdown, as an alternative to the conversion thing that's not a field goal but looks like a field goal? I read about in a kids book at the library by my moms thinks they ended that.

Haha, I thought it was a little navy dress. Don't worry--I have a feeling we will be paying return visits to those meccas of sophisticted vintage.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:21 (eighteen years ago)

UGH please stop sucking, Redskins. I don' t really care that much but at least don't be shameful.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:25 (eighteen years ago)

Did they just give up another TD? I'm tempted to listen on the radio--maybe I should just for the fun of it?

B, what exciting dj-ish things are coming down the pike? The folks at the r and r seem to love vodka and Andy Rourke, in that order.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

exciting DJ things coming up:

I'm sure R&R will still be hard at work booking the least important members of the most important bands of 20 years ago. Other than that:

Scott Henry (BUZZ) plays R&R next Friday night

BLISS is next Saturday night on the Black Cat backstage.

Jeff Samuels (TECHNO) will be at the new after hours event at Duke's City on October 13th

That's really all that's on my radar right now. When will an acutal dance/DJ venue with a 250-500 person capacity open in DC (R&R hotel doesn't count until they install rear speakers, although I'm glad they repositioned their lighting).

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:48 (eighteen years ago)

R and R's dj space reminded me more of a high school dance than an actual club.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:55 (eighteen years ago)

p.s. these shoes, hot or not?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 00:56 (eighteen years ago)

I'm kind of enjoying reading the captions of the Spanish-language announcers while listening to the English-speaking dudes. It's like the U.N. with a lot less diplomacy.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 18 September 2006 01:03 (eighteen years ago)

God I hate the Cowboys. Actually I hate everything remotely associated with Dallas.

Mary I'm not sure I'm feeling those shoes, but maybe I would need to see them in person?

I will try to post pic of navy shoes I am contemplating.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 18 September 2006 01:42 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, you can still go for two points after a touchdown instead of kicking the one-point-thing-that-looks-like-a-field-goal. actually, it's only relatively recent thing that you could go for two at all in the pros--used to be just a college thing.

i am not qualified to comment on women's shoes, sorry. most things that aren't flip-flops look good to me.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

this sucks!! what a disaster

highlight for me so far was right after the 100 yard return, there's a penalty on dallas next offensive series, and Madden says.. "you see Parcells looking real unhappy right there? he's not just unhappy because of that penalty.. he's also unhappy because of that kickoff return for a touchdown." YA THINK?

it was grate

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:10 (eighteen years ago)

27-10? That actually not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, judging from the first 15 minutes of play. The cowboys qb was vaguely cute, I seem to recall. Oh, and what university is "The U," which one of the Redskin players claimed to have attended.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:24 (eighteen years ago)

i've heard utah referred to as THE U OF U...?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:26 (eighteen years ago)

That would make sense. My dyslexic brain came up with Oregon.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:31 (eighteen years ago)

"The U" sounds like an MTV reality series. Sometime in the past year or so, didn't a player identify himself by his nursery school? NFL players don't get many opportunities for satire.

Guys look, Ken was right. This is from the website

http://www.pinball.org/rules/jackbot.html

Being the resourceful and morally corrupt robot that you are, you can cheat at all of these games (or at least try), by repeatedly hitting the Extra Ball button during the game's title screen. The results vary from game to game. The quotes when the cheat succeeds are worth the price of admission. "LOOK--HALLEY'S COMET." "Where?" "FOUR ACES." "I saaaw thaaaat..."

See we didn't believe him at first and then we slowly became converts to the theory and then thank God when I got Casino Run I didn't get any bombs. Sweet!

How about just showing up at the office pretending I have an interview? How about that? How about at the HR guy's house? I'll bring a bottle of wine and have dinner with him and the fam.

Nice one, Q. Wear your houndstooth mini & knock em dead.

My problems with the fish and chips: place was all fancy. Loved the tin ceilings but the chandeliers were a bit over the top. The wooden booths were too heavy and upsale and substantial and the whole thing didn't fit in with the typical order at the counter scheme. I thought the cod (a bit blase) and the fries (too soft) were just adequate and they did not employ Britishers to call me love. For all the noise about the special tartar sauces I didn't notice anything wonderous. My friends got a curry sauce to dip the chips in though and that was awesome.

My problem with Ilxors who venture to OT and don't call: innumerable.

I'd really like to see Borat so please let me know if this is going to happen (if you don't mind sitting by a girl who is shrieking embarassingly with laughter).

Seems like both would be overkill. Please advise.

honestly I don't know what is this thank-you note for interviews thing. maybe an e-mail. but either you come and do good work for them because they give you an offer or you don't because they don't, if somebody sent us a thankynote after an interview I'd be like whatevs, you sucked! or alternatively wtf weirdo don't thank us thank YOU for taking shift work

dance party is pleased to host special guest
DJ Ari Goldman (Manhunter/Ghostly International/Reach Up!)

"My goal is maximum body devastation. Taking you back
to the sleazy dance floors of years before.
Am I at the Music Box? Paradise Garage? The Warehouse?
Nope. This ain't a teleportation situation.
This is Ari G (real name: Ari Goldman) behind the
decks. When I'm not producing tracks or touring as 1/2
of Manhunter (Ghostly International, Muckamuck
Produce), there's a good chance I'm throwing down a
tight array of fist-pumpin' italo, relentless chicago
jack tracks/acid, blissed-out disco boogie, cosmic
slow burners, fierce techno workouts, etc. As a DJ,
I've burned minds from DC to NYC to Detroit to Philly
to more and more and more."

it's only a half an hour of goodness. start early on the cleaning and then, reward yourself with wholesome goodness.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

xp - yes, while that may be true, amanda has this hangup where she'd like for a) her side of the bed not to be covered in laundry (clean, mind you), books, and vacuum tubes when she comes over and b) her feet to be able to touch actual floor in my room. girls are crazy.

― mango selassie (teenagequiet), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

I fuckin love sleepin on vacuum tubes. Gives my dreams that 60's reverby tone I've been lookin for.

knock it if you must but you've got no idea how punchy and warm the experience of falling to your death only to suddenly realize you're in class naked and then your teacher turns into a lizard with your best friend's face can be.

i wasn't kidding, bro! solid state dreams=the worst

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

― mango selassie (teenagequiet), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

diplomatic plaque sounds like it would be on a wall hanging at Hunan!

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Thursday, 21 September 2006 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

"maintained operational sympathy during time of great turmoil but never being selfish"

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Thursday, 21 September 2006 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

dude I've had the sub-one-week-of-work bonus too. stick around for times of great turmoil with customer, that's when the iron is hot.

If I could buy forgiveness for the Great Cockup of scheduling fly-fishing outing with pops on same weekend as birthday parties, electric six concerts, etcetera, then I would buy that!

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Thursday, 21 September 2006 19:07 (eighteen years ago)

did you really get a plaque? That is awesome.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 21 September 2006 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

If they weren't so damn hard to eat these concord grapes would be the most delicious things ever. Puts those lame-ass supermarket grapes to shame, I tell ye.

Is SX older than us elders? Q, 2 buttons, moneybags.

This Paul & Joe blazer from Target is really nice, but why is it yellow?

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-3/qid=1158881732/ref=sr_1_3/601-3600720-4096147?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B000GD5ACO

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 September 2006 22:37 (eighteen years ago)

sx is crazy old. but you'd never know it if he weren't so wise.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 21 September 2006 22:38 (eighteen years ago)

Intriguing. All of the people who wrote comments about that blazer loved. Should I go ahead and get it, or is it a case of the emperor's new clothes?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 21 September 2006 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

you'd have to go to a store though.. it only comes in XS and XL on the website.. hey, what abt this
one?

I went to the target on rt 50 once and looked at the Paul and Joe stuff, some of it was neat.. though the skirts are insanely short, except a black silk wrap one that was v nice (except overpriced for what it was). I got this top in navy blue.

hay mark and pete and any other potentially interested parties: you wanna go see american hardcore when it finally comes out 'round these parts?

― mango selassie (teenagequiet), Friday, 22 September 2006 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

hells yeah of course bro. though a friend of mine saw it @ Silver Docs and said it wasn't that good, I'll go for footage alone.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 22 September 2006 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

Also we gotta see We Jam Econo sometime and bro out.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 22 September 2006 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i don't really care about listening to keith morris and his terrible dreds yammer on and on and on i just want to watch kids beat the shit out of each other to negative approach and bad brains and flipper

yes, econo jamming is another necessity

― mango selassie (teenagequiet), Friday, 22 September 2006 13:46 (eighteen years ago)

We gotta get on the ball, people.

I wanted that brown jacket, D, but they only had the teal one in my size when I went there, so I got that one, and then next time I was at the store, they had all manner of brown ones:/

I got the green kick-pleat houndstooth skirt, which my mom thought was way too short. Oops.

Yeah, they had a medium that fit at the store; so is it not hideous (the gold jacket)? I've gotten so used to shopping at Target, I now cringe when I am in greeted in regular stores. I'm much more at home shopping among the moms with babies in strollers.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 22 September 2006 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

Moms thinking skirts are too short=best reason to buy of course.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 22 September 2006 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

I was so delighted with how preppy it was that I neglected to notice that it failed to cover my thighs. Perhaps I was not the best person to advice Q on her minidress purchase after all :/

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 22 September 2006 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure it's all right! I like that skirt but feel like I can't wear as it looks ridiculously short on me
