Hello all. FB TO MAKE MORE FANCY PICTURE-TIME FUN, AS I AM INEPT.

― John Justen, All Dude Dual Groom Swordfight Revue (johnjusten), Saturday, 2 September 2006 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

You need to add the links and cat.
Listen to W.U.C. and I'll burn you Photoshop.
I piss in your pants now.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Monday, 4 September 2006 10:45 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, pretty fresh thread. How will you be ~~defiled~~ written upon?

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

I spent yesterday with the dawning realization that now that the clambake is over, I am going to have to actually study something again. I may need to drive to St. Kate's this afternoon to get something from the bookstore. This is making me slightly crabby.

On the other hand, they totaled our car (which we will still have), so we did okay with the hailstorm (unexpected money, v. weird). Also, I'll be the person driving the used (but newer) car very soon. AND we will be getting our roof replaced (so it will no longer be shit brown) and other exterior stuff done.

I still don't want to drive to St. Paul today, though.

I've gone video game craazy.

I bought a Shadow the Hedgehog PS2 controller for like 35 bucks shipped.

I've never played that game, and I don't own a PS2.

Hopefully the new PS2-USB adapter I ordered doesn't have LAG issues like the POS one i have now.
Because the all trigger-feeling L2 and R2 buttons on that controller will go to waste on the PS1.
It DOES have a more comfortable design and better D-pad, though.

I TRIED to get Incredible Crisis back today. No one was home at my sister's house.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 04:39 (eighteen years ago)

So what hijinks did you all get up to on this weekend, then? Is Dan unscathed?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 04:42 (eighteen years ago)

The clambake was tasty. We were at the country club well past the point where they had torn down the room around us.

Went back to my house for cocktails. Dan and Jo31 rocked it until a quarter 'till 4 in the morning.

We didn't share as many emberassing stories about Dan as usual, but otherwise a very satisfying evening.

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

FB's description is quite accurate. The clambake was very fun; I think the staff was trying to get rid of us by putting cookies out (although you'd think it would work better to take something away...).

FB's house is adorable. A. and I left at 1 am because we are old (although technically he is a bit younger than Dan, John, and FB).

There are embarrassing stories to be told about Dan? The rest of us, sure...

J031 is fabulous (I expected her to be taller for some reason), Dan looks almost exactly like I remember him, and I still want to know why I'm the only one with threads of grey in my hair.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 13:11 (eighteen years ago)

Because you have sweet little children that unaccountably look to you as a source of sustenance, and therefore are jealous of your time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, do your children eat you? Does that cause grey hair?

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

J. does like to gnaw on things, but thankfully I am not really one of them. I'm beginning to suspect my grey hairs are due to my earlier life. Accept partial blame, Dan, or at least buy me some dye.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

I have grey hairs...mostly in my beard though, which is easy to conceal, other than the fact that I am LAZY.

― John Justen, All Dude Dual Groom Swordfight Revue (johnjusten), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

Are you saying you are too lazy to shave or too lazy to dye your beard?

So confused now.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:08 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, do your children eat you? Does that cause grey hair?

I hope you sung this to the tune of Yentl's "Papa Can You Hear Me?"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:14 (eighteen years ago)

The day I get grey pubes = the day I remove all the hair from my body.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

The day Dan shaves off his eyebrows is the day I know too much about his pubic region.

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Amen to that.

Perhaps this is where John's suicide cult comes back into play.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

The day Dan shaves off his eyebrows is the day I know too much about his pubic region.

Especially if he invites you to watch. Or worse, help.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

YOU CAN NEVER KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT MY PUBIC REGION

For example, today it is spry.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

It is awfully early in the thread for me to be pleading for brain bleach, isn't it?

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

Yesterday it was slightly chafed and musty thanks to travel wear-and-tear.

― The Evilest Bastard Out There (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps this is where John's suicide cult comes back into play.

Like if the Ozbourne's discover some of John's overwrought middle-school poetry about full-body waxing and the school councelor calls John into his office to meet with the police, and John's like, what the hell is wrong with you people, I'm 33-years-old?

And Dan issues a public statement about his grey pubes and the whole dirty affair is overplayed and overanalized on 24-hour news channels until another missing white girl story gets refreshed?

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

For example, today it is spry.

Sometimes it is wry, other times it is fly. On bad days, it makes the saints cry.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

It is ALWAYS fly!

Sometimes it is drab. On bad days it is full of...

crab?

GUACAMOLE

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

I like guacamole, but not that much.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, that's not Guacamole. That's discharge.

― John Justen, All Dude Dual Groom Swordfight Revue (johnjusten), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

"Is guac supposed to get fuzzy after a while?"

*cough* "Erm...have a koala taco."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, brain bleach. Now. I don't care how early it is.

This puts hot butter in a new light.

Or under a very dark cloud.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

A part of me would be psyched to have a venereal disease that caused my junk to generate guacamole, I have to admit.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

"It's called WHAT?"

"Guacahhrea."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

"Spicy!"

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

Six months later, at Taco Bell:

"Wow, these new guacahhrea taquito grandes are the best ever! How'd you think of the idea?"

"It came to me in more than one way."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

Otherwise known as the "snack".

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

As in, "Man, I caught a bad case of the snack in Tijuana."

Dan will now refer to his junk as the "snack pack".

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, I don't know if it's the shape or color of your testicles that I find most disturbing. OK, it's the packaging.

It is certainly too bad that my anat and phys class won't hit the reproductive anatomy unit until the end of the semester.

Or wait, maybe that gives Dan adequate time to be our model for a day. (I don't think anyone would come at you with a scalpel...)

HOW DO I CUM SCALPEL?

Not a turn-on for most, but I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 20:09 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, I think I found the lady for you:

Wait, are you sure this person is right for Dan?

(Also, that pink belt really makes the outfit.)

I dropped her off and left in tears. I still hate crying in public. Christ.

But if you tell her that she'll cry some more. Oh wait.

(More seriously -- it's just the joys of motherhood. Next year when she's at senior prom you'll feel that special glow.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

It is just crazy to me that I've been dying to get her to preschool and then I drop her off and immediately burst into tears. Idiocy.

Tonight is my first class as well, so possibly I am overwrought.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

If you need someone to take her to the prom, I'll offer my services...as long as she pushes the wheelchair and makes sure I have a fresh oxygen tank.

Yes, I went to the prom twice. It was more fun my junior year (well, I did have fun with everyone but my date my senior year).

I do have one friend who seems to lust after really old guys (like the crazy king in the Lord of the Rings movies). However, I think that to most women's eyes, John is still an improvement over that, as are the rest of you.

Hey, this has absolutely nothing to do with Hastings (except it's my hometown) but what's the name of that company that publishes those sort of small-sized nichey arty books?

I had to hang out with The Crazy Family this afternoon (not mine, but parents of friends of Alex's). At one point the Father Guy (who I will not name here) asked me seriously if I thought that people without children should be allowed to vote.

This is why I am wary of meeting new people.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:41 (eighteen years ago)

Just tell him from me that I feel the same about people with children. When the outrage dies down, kindly add that I meant that as a joke, in the same way that he was joking. Surely. (As confusion settles on him, steal his wallet.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:01 (eighteen years ago)

That is my problem; when someone says something that is completely outlandish (and sometimes when what they say is pretty innocuous), my brain sometimes starts going down three different paths. In this case, there was the impassioned harangue fighting it out with the reasonable explanation - both competing with my desperate urge to pull out a cell phone and immediately begin calling childless friends to facetiously urge them to get pregnant or adopt a baby before November.

As for the wallet thing, you shouldn't believe everything Dan tells you about me.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:22 (eighteen years ago)

He tells me you are a sweet and trusting innocent. So he's lying?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:26 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe Dan doesn't remember who I am. He seemed to recognize me this weekend, though.

OMG, am I my own evil twin?

Like rocking out at the DEVO concert? Oh yeah. At the Oneida Casino in Green Bay. Only a 4 1/2 hour drive each way.

Devo was solid. No heart-attacks. If you've ever seen a DEVO concert video, you have a pretty good idea what they performed. Older stuff. They got Whip It out of the way early in the set and finished up with Come Back Jonee.

Bow Wow Wow opened and sucked, but Annabella Lwin is hott (if shrill). BWW sounded better over by the slots. Up $4.00 at the casino! Got back in @ 3:00 this morning.

― Fluffy Bear is a man. Do not Shoot him. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

Oh Green Bay. That entire state is devoted to that city in the weirdest way. Last time I was in Green Bay we had to go to a train museum (A's family has a train obsession) and it was incredibly hot and kind of horrible.

Devo. Oh my. And...the flashbacks to 6th grade commence.

(Actually I'm a bit envious. But not of the driving time.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

For your Friday afternoon amusement (or not, probably depending on whether you have met me more than once in real life), I offer a short 6th grade Hastings memory:

We lived on 15th street, right next to 3r1k Kr4m3r. Neighborhood kids killed time on summer nights by playing "ditch." Even I played at times, despite my general incompetence at that game. Why? My 6th grade crush: K31th K4rp1nsk3.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

They're huge! Sorta.

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:55 (eighteen years ago)

They're huge! Sorta.

That was the best part about the concert. There were cultists, intergenerational fans and the merely curious. Sure, the biggest draw was probably nostalgia, but the enthusiasm and size of the crowd surprised me.

Oldsters and youngsters alike were freaking out during the General Boy intro film. During Jocko Homo, the cries of "We are Devo!" nearly drowned out the band.

― Fluffy Bear is a man. Do not Shoot him. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 8 September 2006 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

It sounds like you had fun, despite having to travel to Green Bay (I agree, M@tt, it's not that fun a place; personally I don't understand the attraction to trains, nor do I enjoy football).

Now that I think of it, that trip to Wisconsin last summer involved the worst meal I've eaten in a restaurant. I think this place basically took packaged food (like Stovetop Stuffing), added even more sodium, and served it up. Soooooo bad.

Of course, my familiarity with Devo pretty much begins and ends with "Whip It."

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 8 September 2006 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

Never been to Green Bay. I don't think the Oneida Casino counts. The drive is beutiful, though. We took back-roads on our way out and avoided most of 94 and a stretch of 29.

― Fluffy Bear is a man. Do not Shoot him. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 8 September 2006 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

Green Bay has a Pizza Hut. I swear to God, that was the highlight of the place for me. (Admittedly, our "vacation" itself was in Michicot, at a fairly decent resort... Green Bay was just a side trip. But if you're going that direction, keep going and see Door County because it's very pretty. And if you like a VERY quiet sort of vacation, Washington Island is idyllic.)

"Dear Cheese Fan:

Only 18 days until my new "Silent Nightclub" CD comes out...but you can pre-order it NOW at www.richardcheese.com. And also at richardcheese.com, this exciting new contest:

WIN A CHANCE TO GIVE BIRTH
TO RICHARD CHEESE'S
LUCKY 7/7/7 BABY!

Yes, July 7, 2007 is 7/7/7, the luckiest day of the century!

And, it can also be YOUR lucky day because
you might be
THE MOTHER OF RICHARD CHEESE'S BABY,
to be BORN ON 7/7/7!

Don't miss this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
for you and your uterus!

Here's how to enter:

1) Get impregnated by Richard Cheese on October 14th, 2006. (Conception date is based on a 28-day menstrual cycle. Contestants must adjust their conception date based on their own cycle; Richard Cheese and his assignees are not responsible for miscalculated ovulations.) If, due to high demand from other contestants, Richard Cheese is unavailable to "get busy" with you on October 14th, try to schedule him in for the day before or after. In vitro fertilization will not be allowed; only numerous trysts with Richard Cheese will be permitted.

2) Carry the baby for approximately 9 months. Make sure you don't smoke, drink, or do anything else you're not supposed to do, such as riding rollercoasters or dying your hair. Expectant mothers are required to constantly play Richard Cheese CDs to the developing fetus during the entire pregnancy. You may attend birthing classes at your discretion, but at no time is Richard Cheese required to attend the classes with you or sing the words "Breathe!" or "Push!" to you.

3) Deliver the baby on July 7, 2007 in a Las Vegas hospital. Richard Cheese may or may not be there at the birth, depending on how many other mothers/babies he has impregnated/fathered during this contest. Baby can be boy or girl. Please be sure to specify "innie" belly button.

4) Name the baby one of the following:

"Lucky"
*

"Jackpot"
*

"Yo"
*

"Bellagio"

or, if it's twins:
*

"Ace" and "King"

5) Raise the baby yourself. Richard Cheese is not obligated to participate in the rearing of the baby, and will not be responsible for diaper changing, stuffed animal expenditures, assembly of swingsets, child support, college tuition, or teaching the kid how to drive. However, if this lucky baby wins the lottery during its lifetime, Richard Cheese is entitled to half the money!

GOOD LUCK . . . AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Additional Rules: Contest is open to 18-year-old females, the hotter the better. Contestants may be subjected to an extensive pre-interview and audition process, including but not limited to several "rehearsals" with Richard Cheese at his sole discretion. Any difficulty or failure by Richard Cheese to consummate with contestants will not reflect poorly on Richard Cheese's virility. Contestants may be asked to wait fifteen minutes or perform arousing monologues. Unauthorized use of Richard Cheese's sperm is prohibited; only official Richard Cheese sperm, subject to verification by a panel of Swedish experts, may be used, while supplies last. You may not claim that your baby is Richard Cheese's baby unless you have indeed been impregnated by Richard Cheese during the course of this contest (see Rule #6 of "Win A Chance To Stalk Richard Cheese" Contest at richardcheese.com). Judges and obstetricians decisions are final. Late or early births WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. If you have the baby on July 6 or July 8, sorry, tough luck, you can't win 'em all, gamete over. For babies born on dates other than 7/7/7, Richard Cheese should be referred to only as "Uncle Richard." Immaculate conceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. No purchase necessary. Based on Richard Cheese's published sperm count and projected stamina, only 126 potential mothers may enter the contest. Entry deadline is October 14, 2006, but additional entries may occur repeatedly if Richard "digs" you. No refunds, exchanges, or returns.

REMEMBER,
YOU GOTTA BE
IN IT TO WIN IT!

My only grammar advice: avoid dangling participles.

I suppose I should know who Richard Cheese is. But since I am not (plus I am apparently far too old for him), I'm not remotely interested in carrying his baby. Still, I like the idea of having a baby on 7/7/07 and I think the rest of you should get right on that. I promise to knit cute baby booties for babies born that day to anyone I know.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Sunday, 10 September 2006 02:46 (eighteen years ago)

Richard Cheese is a lounge singer who does rock, pop, and metal songs with a jazz Trio/big band.

I focus on conversational english, so while I encourage good grammar, but one MUST understand that using perfect grammar at all times can CONFUSE the listener and that's the last thing a non-native spaker needs.

I shouldn't have offered three free trial lessons.
Two would have been sufficient.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Sunday, 10 September 2006 04:30 (eighteen years ago)

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

On the brighter side, A. ran in the Defeat of Jesse James Days 5K yesterday and came in first in his age group and I think 22nd overall (out of about 400). ("And I didn't even throw up!" - that is a direct quote.)

"Bar" = former First Lady Barbara Bush. I can't imagine Suzy's sister desiring that comparison. Of course, I've been wrong before...

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 11 September 2006 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

"Defeat of Jesse James Days"?
Did the namers realise he was shot in the back by a friend(for money) in his family's home while hanging a picture?

Im no Lennon fan, but I wouldn't have kids race at my celebration of his defeat.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Monday, 11 September 2006 14:34 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, that is just Northfield's crazy celebration of the time that Jesse James did not manage to rob the local bank. The celebration features several re-enactments of the events; it is pretty silly.

I wouldn't let my kids race, either, since they are too young (and likely uninterested); I did let my husband race, though. Sorry to be confusing there.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 11 September 2006 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

The Gzeus was clearly affected by that one Brady Bunch episode...

Ned, they met in Florida as both were borrowing parent/sibling apartments near each other. He is from Detroit.
