It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in Hastings that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

*meowr...SPARRRRRRRRRRRRRTA*

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

That is the picture of the day.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

A common scene in Hastings... it almost makes me feel nostalgic.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

(I took ballet in a studio very close to that building, so that might explain the nostalgia.)

You do often see Lu Stoffel lurking behind the courthouse while Mr. Veith stands guard against the unwashed Cottage Grove horde, it's true.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

"The Call of Stoffel," by H. P. Perry.

lol at that imagery... I was thinking about Mr. Clymer for some reason the other day. "The class of 1990 has class..." Did he recycle that speech for every graduation? I know my class had a (deserved) reputation and they were just as happy to see us go...

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

that is the picture of the universe

i always kind of liked how cowtown was actually on the other side of the tracks

― river wolf, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)

I always wanted to see actual cows there. I was always disappointed.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

I like how there are a bunch of awesome houses down there that no one ever sees!

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, who's river wolf again?

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)

And the Hastings marina is down there!

And the Hastings marina is down there!

The Hasting mafia. Tony "Hotdish" Sneffelson and his consigliere "Big Ed" Bjaaland.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:31 (eighteen years ago)

river wolf is a man whose blood runs true blue with the hopes and dreams of HSTNGS.

That's all I'm allowed to say.

Sorry about freaking out on the old one. Hit my limit, I think.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:32 (eighteen years ago)

John, after you and Calcedonia left the Happy Gn0me on Sunday, homeslice and I got cut off, and they called a cab.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Hastings Mafia is not centered at the Marina.

Hope you are feeling better John. Or at least you're not about to be attacked by a giant baby.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:34 (eighteen years ago)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Cucumber gin and tonics.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Also, FB is soon to be remanded to 7th grade for remedial typing lesssons. ;)

(Maybe I'm the only one who ever had Mrs. Str4nd, with her terrifying pants, but let me tell you - that would be a serious threat!)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:36 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, you added cucumbers to your gin and tonics?

HOLY SHIT the cucumber G&T's were great. Cucumber infused gin, yes?

How long did it take to get cut off?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry, FB, I was making fun of your typing of "Caledonia." You just have an extra letter. (I told you I was tired and cranky today!)

Gin WITH cucumber already in it? What will they think of next?!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:42 (eighteen years ago)

My favorite bit in this story:

He said Id had issued physical dongles

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

It is a fine, smooth gin. The cucumber garnish made the drink perfect.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:44 (eighteen years ago)

Huh. It sounds crazy. But then again, I don't like gin, so maybe I'd like it that way. Is there a brand name?

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:47 (eighteen years ago)

My God, that sounds like heaven!

Muddy Pig is better except for all the trannies????? Wow MN has changed.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:50 (eighteen years ago)

The trannies are fine, it's the Persian ninjas that keep messing the place up.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 20:06 (eighteen years ago)

My ex is a ninja now?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

We will put her name to the test.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, btw, the cucumber gin brand name is Hendrick's.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks FB for the brand name.

I'm not sure you should be testing out ninjas in any way, regardless of whose ex they are.

Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."

― HI DERE, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

That was in my Strib email this morning and I didn't read it because it sounded too nasty. I was so right... who would do that to anyone, much less a 17 year old girl?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:10 (eighteen years ago)

Hmm, charming.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

I can't really say the slanderous thing that popped into my head when I read this story.

I...Wow.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, did it have to do with a creepy late 80s film starring Glenn Close?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:25 (eighteen years ago)

Sort of. It was more closely related to recent altercations I may have had ON THIS VERY THREAD.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

Well, as long as Michael Douglas wasn't involved, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, you were clearly on my mind yesterday, as you guest-starred in this weird dream I had last night. We were in the same class, which I guess was English (Mr. Schultz also showed up!), but on competing teams to do some kind of weird project that involved putting all these different words together (some kind of combination of SAT analogies and the concept maps that my physiology prof. is obsessed with).

B3tsy Lundst3n also made a guest appearance!

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I meant to say I got your message last night! Thanks for calling!

Also my cell phone has been missing for weeks now so don't try to call me on it.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

It is always fun to leave an incoherent message on your answering machine.

Thanks for the warning about your cell phone; since I usually make long distance call's from A's cell phone (because I'm cheap and it's free), I wouldn't probably try to call your cell. Cell to cell calls have weird lag times (and it totally screwed up my joke the last time I called FB).

I also assume that no one else even checks their cell phone if they have a land line, because I generally don't...

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

Also my cell phone has been missing for weeks now so don't try to call me on it.

Damn, I knew I shouldn't have left my social security #, address, and credit card # on your voice mail.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 15 March 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

I think we've all made that mistake, FB. I'm sure it will All Turn Out Okay.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

I just used that info to order a 72" LCD television, so it looks like it will All Turn Out Okay for me!

― HI DERE, Friday, 16 March 2007 12:09 (eighteen years ago)

It's nice to have friends to lend you a helping hand.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 16 March 2007 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

BTW, I am on spring break now, so be jealous. Or don't: it mostly means the bathrooms might finally get cleaned at my house. I AM going out with some friends tonight, in what looks to be come our annual "let's go drinking and dancing" night.

OMG that page loaded so slowly, I was looking at the place where I knew a photo was going to be praying PLAESE GOD LET IT BE A PIC OF THE DOG HEAD.

― nickalicious, Friday, 16 March 2007 20:29 (eighteen years ago)

So I posted a picture of "Touchdown Jesus" to the library thread (the image on the outside of the Notre Dame library). Here's what I did not put on that thread:

I used to study on the theology floor at the ND library because it was quiet. One day I sat down at a desk and found this inscription, "How is Notre Dame like a woman? When you get in you're so happy, then 9 months later you're sorry you came."

(I don't know why, but that still makes me laugh.)

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU ASK FOR HELP BEFORE 90% OF THE OFFICE LEFT TO BEAT THE WEATHER??????????

I'm impressed you stayed that late! we shut down at 3.

― jessie monster, Saturday, 17 March 2007 00:05 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, the managers of the people who were requesting our help also "shut down" at 3. Being diligent and dutiful sucks sometimes.

― HI DERE, Saturday, 17 March 2007 00:28 (eighteen years ago)

Jessie is Boston now? Or just that the blizzard is that big?

YAY I AM SMUG AND IN WARM WEATHER

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 17 March 2007 00:51 (eighteen years ago)

I'm just smug. Which is awesome, by the way.

WORD TO MY SMUGGAS

― HI DERE, Saturday, 17 March 2007 01:30 (eighteen years ago)

Yay you got home okay!

(Obv. I did, too, despite nonsense with friends. Completely silly evening; I swear the band reminded me of my brother circa 1986. Van Halen songs, Iron Maiden, Leonard Skynard... I heard "Brown-Eyed Girl" for the first time since about 1990. Completely bizarre. And now I reek of cigarette smoke and I'm going to bed. Probably better change first.)

Hey, I was out on FRIDAY night; I didn't think you meant me!

GUYS I HAS A NEW PHONE

IT IS DEAD SEXY

― HI DERE, Monday, 19 March 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, I used to pretend that the water was full of piranhas, which involved a lot of running in and out of the water, screaming. That, and telling other kids that scientists had mistakenly let piranhas loose in the lake.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

I BET ITS NOT AN IPHONE

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

FB, once again you unnerve me with our childhood similarities. That's just freaky.

Thanks for linking to the drinking thread, btw. I'll bookmark the damn thing.

Dan, I'm envying your new phone if it is "dead sexy." If I had infinite funds, I'd buy A. an iPhone because he seems to want one. All this technology lust is a bit beyond me, though.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, FB - were your childhood piranha games inspired by early viewing of the 1978 film? (I love the ending. "Let's POLLUTE THEM TO DEATH!" Yeah, that'll work...)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

That is correct!

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

I still probably couldn't make it all the way through that movie. The sequel also has some classic aspects (also James Cameron's directorial debut, I believe...).

― Sara R-C, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:57 (eighteen years ago)

And note that both Joe Dante and John Sayles worked on the original.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'm noting it! (God Ned, you're so demanding.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 19 March 2007 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

I can never watch that movie again. My memory of Piranha is so tangled in the warp and woof of my childhood fantasies. It would be a tragic disappointment, I'm sure.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 19 March 2007 21:08 (eighteen years ago)

I saw the ending again one night on tv and I made A. watch it. He was completely baffled as to why I found it so scary as a kid.* It's pretty silly.

*This is why I'm never going to make him watch the original of The Blob. I spent way too much time watching stuff that scared the hell out of me... none of which was all that scary.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 19 March 2007 21:11 (eighteen years ago)

Never read it, but I remember liking the movie. Darryl Hannah was hot.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 19 March 2007 21:30 (eighteen years ago)

Quick summary of the series: first book - really not bad, some interesting stuff

Following books - devolve into a lot less story with a lot more sex scenes.

I think there actually is a leather thong included in some of the day to day details Auel relates, but if I'm recalling correctly, it's a prehistoric sanitary pad.

Brits and Yanks are very different: link

A man has been taken from police custody after three men armed with knives attacked a security van outside a magistrates court.

Police said Aaron Williams was heard shouting "Don't let them take me" as three men dragged him from the GSL security van outside the Salford court.

The driver was punched in the face during the incident.

Police said they have not ruled out the possibility that Mr Williams was taken against his will.

The 21-year-old from Lower Broughton, was due before magistrates after being arrested for not appearing in court.

He was detained for failing to appear on a theft charge and was being transferred from Swinton police station to court following his arrest on Wednesday.

Greater Manchester Police said they were alerted to reports that three men armed with kitchen knives had attacked the security van just after 0750 GMT.

They said he was "dragged and bundled" into a stolen car, which was later found abandoned.

Services company GSL, which was responsible for the transfer, described the escape as a "very serious incident".

It said the van was waiting to go through a barrier to enter the court's secure car park when it was targeted.

The men slashed the van's front tyre, before punching the driver and threatening a female security officer.

"Our prisoner custody officers have been threatened with violence and one has received injuries which we think are as a result of being punched," a spokesman said.

"This is a very unusual incident. When this level of extreme violence is offered or used there is very little that we can do."

I was thinking about posting here about the huge used booksale coming up in Northfield at the end of April, but for the moment I'll just put the bug in your ears. (That sounds awful, doesn't it.) It's the biggest used booksale in MN, it happens every year, and it is awesome. It always starts on a Tuesday night - I think the 24th this year. I won't make it that night (because I have class and lab) but you guys should seriously think about it.

The 1990 black hole eventually spit you out in boston. I have no idea where the wormhole of rock will lead you.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 20:50 (eighteen years ago)

1990. No, I don't remember that at all. Did something funny happen that year? Um, I think I graduated from high school or something... that's all I've got.

(Okay, actually, I was just brought up agains the Stuff You Don't Remember yesterday again when a former slightly-more-than-a-friend guy from my first term at Olaf mentioned pictures he took of me with apples. Huh? I posed for a picture with an apple? Like... the fruit? A computer? I'm waiting to hear back to find out what the hell he's talking about. 1991. So much to answer for...)

ROADHOUSE was awful (very funny with the Rifftrax, though).

Capes are trouble in some circumstances (as per The Incredibles), and I don't want to know what other circumstance you'd wear one in.

You can mail me stuff if you want, but don't feel obligated to do that.

I think 6 different friends called me this morning with different plans for stuff they want me to do - some social, some having to do with local politics stuff. It was the weirdest morning ever. Every time I hung up, the phone rang again. (But it's nice to be wanted... I guess.)

I am still trying to come up with a new recipe for the drinking thread. For science, you know.

stay golden,

― ghost rider, Monday, 2 April 2007 05:22 (eighteen years ago)

I think that is a favorite movie of a frequent poster to this thread.

Are you a Minnesotan, ghost rider?

In other news, there's now a Rifftrax available for the Lost Season 1 Pilot Episode. I'm so irrationally excited about this.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

Awesome! (But not from Hastings, I assume... perhaps from someplace saner?)

miller's xing, yes.

Sara, what are your favorite rifftrax?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

from mpls proper -- as a city kid my knowledge of hastings is limited primarily to stories from this thread and its frequent posters.

― ghost rider, Monday, 2 April 2007 15:38 (eighteen years ago)

I have yet to make it through Miller's Crossing.

Favorite Rifftrax: I've watched two, and Roadhouse was much better than Firewall because it was a much worse film (which only makes sense in the land of MST3K/Rifftrax, but there it is). A. has also downloaded Rifftrax for The Matrix and X-Men, but we haven't gotten around to them yet.

ghost rider - welcome to Hastings thread; I promise to stop the others from tossing you into the Mississippi if it's at all possible.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 17:32 (eighteen years ago)

I blame A. Probably he was worried that you guys would insist on going on the Tower of Terror multiple times in a row and that he'd get yakked on.

Perhaps you could come with us next time. (But no getting into wrestling matches with Mickey Mouse.)

xpost to John:

1. I think I knew that (in fact, I think we watched part of it at K4t3's house a long time ago, but all wound up on the trampoline instead of finishing it... not entirely sure)

2. Rifftrax = MST3K-like riffing on movies, only without the frame story or the puppets. www.Rifftrax.com - just go look. Some fun things on there.

3. Yes.

ghost rider - why were you fighting about the movie?

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

oh i just mentioned that i watched it last night on NOIZE MOVIES thread, morbius made one of his typical dismissive "this old thing is better because i'm a cranky old man boxcar" cracks.

OK, FB and HI DERE, which of the following two events were each of you part of:

A) Karkov w/flat mello yello
B) Karkov w/ candy cane

Also, which one is linked with each of the following:

1) Pants removal at Rocky Horror
2) My attempt to puke by opening the car door and leaning out while driving on 94
3) The stealing of the light globe

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

Good news on the video content. Modern camera-phones + video capability + my idiocy + youtube = me nervous.

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:15 (eighteen years ago)

A = 1, 2 & 3

B just wasn't as dramatic.

I like how you implied each one of us.

P.S. One of us (neither you nor I, John) removed his pants after Rocky, not at.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:19 (eighteen years ago)

Maybey I got this mixed up. Dan, were you there for flat Mello Yello or candy cane night?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

whoa extemporaneous y

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

WAIT WAIT sara were you involved in one of those too?

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

I am so confused about whose pants were removed. (I know they were not mine!)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, I thought the candy cane thing was a metaphor.

I was absolutely not involved in any of that.

Uh, that I remember.

WHY DO I REMEMBER DANS CAR BEING PARKED IN FRONT OF SARAS HOUSE AND HIM BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE IT THEN WTF?

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:25 (eighteen years ago)

THAT WAS MY HOUSE MY MOM GOT HIM A PUKE BUCKET AND A WARM DAMP TOWEL FOR HIS PUKE DRIBBLINGS

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

!!!! You guys crack me up.

Here's something I remember, though: finding munchies for John and FB in my kitchen, which, by the way, was quite a feat since there was never any food at my house.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:28 (eighteen years ago)

No idea how to interpret this. (Do I want to know?)

Best band name ever.

HAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD TIMES

I miss being a freshman in college. ;_;

This is also bringing to mind a memorable New Year's Eve that involved threatening someone while being in what to all intents and purposes was a catatonic state and then puking electric green at a gas station. YAY 1995

beartrap: nick i kiss u

― HI DERE, Monday, 2 April 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

Sometimes I miss being in college and sometimes not. (And then I think, crap, I AM in college again, but I could never handle a dorm now. OLD!)

Someday I hope to see Dan puke electric green.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN

― HI DERE, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, you hurt me in my heart.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:10 (eighteen years ago)

This reminds me, John - while at Carleton, were you aware of a crazy townie named 4ndr3w B3rglund? I think he went to Olaf, and maybe that's why he was constantly sending letters (mostly pro-life or anti-gay) to the Manitou Messenger, but he might have sent them to the Carleton paper, too. Also, he continues to send them to the Northfield News - and for all I know, the Mess and the Carleton paper.

Last week he wrote one to the Northfield News where he talks about not wanting "uppity college students" to live together in his neighborhood. I can't figure out if he's trying to parody himself or what. I suspect not.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:10 (eighteen years ago)

Who uses "uppity" without irony any more?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

I have missed the vom.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

He might be trying to be ironic; I have no idea. His past history as a wacko letter writer makes his current letter incomprehensible. I seriously can't tell if he's a landlord or a member of a group who doesn't want college students living in their neighborhood. I would say the former if I hadn't been exposed to this guy's "logic" before. It's just really weird.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

Ned, don't feel bad; I missed most of the vomiting, too.

And now Dan refuses to indulge me by puking electric green again! Oh, it is bitter.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:32 (eighteen years ago)

(I mean, really; I'd totally drive him home and everything.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:32 (eighteen years ago)

WHO OTHER THAN SARA WAS INVOLVED WITH THE GOLF COURSE DESTRUCTION EVENING OF ELECTROCUTION DRUNKY GLAMOUR?

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:33 (eighteen years ago)

I was not there! Ha!

― HI DERE, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

I missed almost none of the vomiting.

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

WHO WAS THERE FOR THE RACIST PARK RANGER?

― HI DERE, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

Not me.

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

Who was there for the naked trampolining?

The rest of you really would like to imagine that that is something I made up. But it is not.

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

I do not remember any electrocution.

Racist park ranger?

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

I was absolutely not there for naked trampolining; you'd all have been blinded by sunlight on clown white, so just be grateful.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

I remember someone with their arms plunged into the electrical service pulling wires in a shower of sparks. Then the sprinklers all went off simultaneously and perpetrators were chased by security in golf carts.

― John Justen, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

Hahahahaha John I have already told ILX all about the naked trampolining!

― HI DERE, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

Oh my.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:40 (eighteen years ago)

John, that sounds like a confused 4th of July memory.

And we all KNOW about the naked trampolining. Some of us just didn't indulge. You crazy kids.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

I was there for
a) golf course shenanigans
b) racist park ranger
c) naked trampolining

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

You're losing your edge.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 2 April 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

Poor Biz. He's never been the same since.

Still not as classic as the Sara goes out on an ill-advised date only to come home to find FB and K8 attempting to microwave a calculator... seriously, I could have happily strangled all of you that night. (And then offed myself; that wasn't a good date.)

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 00:32 (eighteen years ago)

(And by "all of you," I mean FB, K8 and John - Dan was in Germany. 1991.)

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 00:33 (eighteen years ago)

ALL THE GOOD STUFF HAPPENS WHEN I'M NOT THERE

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 03:20 (eighteen years ago)

Well, what do you expect when you MOVE AWAY?

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 03:38 (eighteen years ago)

The more I think about this, the more I think golf course/sparks/ball cleaner night was the same as the calculator/disastrous date night.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 03:46 (eighteen years ago)

Did anyone stick their head in the microwave?

― John Justen, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 05:48 (eighteen years ago)

Not that I know of, but I probably would have liked them to have at the time.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:16 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, you don't remember the time F4r4h stuck her head in your parents microwave? The microwave wouldn't turn off, even with the door open. It was mounted in the cabinetry so it had to be removed to unplug it. Why she stuck her head in, to this day, I don't know. I know only that I paused, thinking, "Should I really bother," before I pulled her noggin out of the microwave.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

I remember you telling me that story! LOLOL wau

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

I think she was looking around in there to find a way to shut it off. (?)

Who knows. I mean, one cannot help but know that that is a bad idea, but on top of that, we were all fussing over how dangerous this was right before she popped her dome in.

Why was my house the nexus of insane microwave behavior anyway? That's what I want to know.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:23 (eighteen years ago)

And I know I shouldn't feel nostalgic for that era, but the microwave stories do make me almost miss it. (Which is just WRONG.)

EL FB, PLZ TO REPOST INSANE BUS STORY THAT WAS LOST IN THE SANDBOX CRASH

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 20:43 (eighteen years ago)

Really curious as to what you're referring to.

Also trying to figure out if I've blocked out lots of stuff or if I just wasn't there because I was too boring. I was such a virtuous youth. (FB and John wouldn't dare contradict me, I'm sure.)

See, that is funny, but I swear that is how I felt after staying home with the kids for 8 years. When 4lex was little I managed to get to a movie with a friend one afternoon. The price took me by surprise and then the fact that they had actual commercials (instead of just previews) before the movie.

Hopefully I'm not quite as far behind as the cartoon woman, though.

Also, should not have clicked on John's thread about ILX threads (meta) because before that I had no idea what Tuomassundae.jpg referred to. I was so innocent then.

Also, Caledonia, if you are around, can you tell me if you think that my problem with not being able to send email through Lotus has to do with me using a Mac instead of a PC? (Realize you're not a computer expert, but thought you might have insight into Lotus.)

Let's see, there are a couple of women in my class who are single, and also my friend Gr3tch3n - but she's my age, you know.

I would so write you a note to get you out of work. "FB has a dentist's appointment and I will pick him up an hour early from work." As long as I don't have to try to get you to do homework, it's all good.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:54 (eighteen years ago)

So I overheard the following conversation in the smoking lounge:

“…so I called up my aunt who works in rehab and I said, ‘do you know what “half-chopped” means,’ and she said it means either half-baked or half-stoned on cocaine.”

“No.”

“Yeah, Jenny has her wrapped around her finger. My sister is a really sweet one, but she will believe anything. So I called her up and left a message, “When Jenny said she was ‘half-chopped’ it means she is either on pot or on cocaine. Bu-bye.”

Laughter. “Did you really say ‘bu-bye’?”

“Yeah.”

Laughter

“There’s no way Jenny was on cocaine. Baked maybe, but not cocaine. You know. I can see maybe baked.”

“What does baked mean?”

“Stoned. On pot.”

“Oh, OK.”

“She’s really obese. If she were on the hard stuff, there would be changes. You could tell.”

“Yeah her teeth would fall out.”

“Yeah.”

“But not on pot.”

“I’ll be like, have you seen any weight loss?”

Laughter.

FB, you make me sad that I rarely overhear crazy conversations anymore.

I think the one that almost killed me was once when we were at the Tavern and we heard some woman going about how great The Bridges of Madison County was. For like, an hour.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

Well, I'm tired, and in an even worse mood than I was yesterday, but in general I think the car is being towed as we speak, so good? I guess?

By the way, when designing my vehicle, they apparently decided that putting the fuel pump INSIDE the gas tank was a good idea. Awesome. THX DETROIT YOU FUCKS.

― John Justen, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry to hear about your car, John. I hope things improve.

I hope John didn't have to hitchhike home.

It has come to my attention that a lot of people who were not raised Catholic are unaware of the awesomeness of hot cross buns (some don't even know what they are!). You can probably get some if you go to a bakery before Sunday. DO IT if you get a chance. YUUUUUUMMMMMM.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 04:39 (eighteen years ago)

I'm serious about the hot cross buns.

Also for some reason thinking about "Meeting of the Minds" and "The Yesterday Show."

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

Meeting of the Minds. Sara, who were you? I was Voltaire.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

Charlotte Bronte! I must have been inspired by reading Jane Eyre earlier in the year. Or something.

Voltaire. That's so perfect. I don't suppose you sang anything from the musical version of Candide...

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

I was Nero!

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

Nero?! Seriously, you are priceless. I didn't know you could fiddle.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

Dan did a good job of defending himself as Nero. "Historical inaccuracies."

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

I would pay a lot for that videotape.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

"It's true! I didn't fiddle while Rome burned, I think I was too busy stuffing my pie hole and fucking someone."

-- Nero

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

I'm just trying to imagine the look on Mr. K's face if you had blurted out those exact words.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

Of course I will always remember him worrying aloud that there were not enough babies being born in the US and that hostile countries were reproducing much faster, and what a problem this would be in a war. So reproduce away, I guess. Your babies = CANNON FODDER. That was not his most inspired moment.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

P3t3 Br3mm3r and I were at each other's throats as Martin Luther and Voltaire.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

If I can find it, I will scan and post an essay I wrote about finding proof of God in creation. A+ from Mr. K.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

This was pre-atheist days, wasn't it.

Or were you trying to out-cynical everyone else in the school?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

My brother has a really awesome story about how Mr K spent 15 yelling at his class that the next person who pronounced the country "Niger" as "nigger" was going to be expelled and then damned to eternal torment.

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

Priceless geographical, academic and theological advice.

Wow.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

I will never teach high school.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

Middle school would be worse.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:50 (eighteen years ago)

Is it ok to love this thread? it makes my day.

― aimurchie, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

Definitely okay!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

Just don't start thinking, "hey, Hastings sounds cool; I'll visit" because you'll probably be disappointed.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:09 (eighteen years ago)

"probably"

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:10 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah, it can be kind of a dangerous place, too. For a "safe, little town."

Seriously, my mother was worrying at me about "the things kids get into these days, I worry about your kids growing up now," etc. Until I started reminding her about Russian Roulette, deliberate "accidental" electrocutions, etc.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

(Not to worry, airmurchie; the Hastings thread is pretty safe.)

(Mostly.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:13 (eighteen years ago)

You forgot various train mishaps, drunk driving incidents, snowmobile incidents, teachers fucking students, etc etc etc.

OMG DID I EVER ACTUALLY TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT HOW THE MALE SPANISH TEACHER ALL BUT ASKED ME OUT SENIOR YEAR?????????? That was.... odd!

HIM: Hey, you're so good at languages, maybe we could get together before or after school and do some extra Spanish study over coffee...?
ME: (out loud) No thanks.
ME: (to myself) WTF I AM NOT GAY, WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I AM GAY

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, I never thought you were gay, EVER. (Does that make you feel better?)

Also, ROFL. And I'm sorry for laughing at that. Really.

H34th3r and I were in the same Spanish class for a semester and - like everyone on earth - he didn't realize we were sisters. He mixed up our grades. (Me: Why does H. have an A and I have a B+.... oh wait....)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:19 (eighteen years ago)

I was also part of FB's "meeting of teh minds" group. Should I tell/remind you who I was, or just let Sara guess?

― John Justen, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was pretty funny myself! I mean, dude was probably what, 25? 26? at the time, so going after an 18-year-old wouldn't necessarily have been unforgivable in the abstract, but DUDE WHY ME, I AM NOT ON YR TEAM, SRSLY

SNAP: I remember Mike was Poe. You were someone gruesome but I can't remember who.

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

I had a weird conversation with Mr. W4rr3n the night of the Thespian banquet my senior year, where he was like, "wow, that is the perfect dress for you..." I don't think he thought I was gay.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

I think John was... oh crap, I have no idea. Van Gogh?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

(M3liss4 was Van Gogh when her class did "Meeting of the Minds." If I'm remembering right, she staged a hissy fit and stormed off the set.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Hahaha, Mr. W4rr3n also allowed himself to be coerced by a bunch of 16-year-olds (including my at-the-time GIRLFRIEND) into taking off his shirt in the robe room and proving the existence/non-existence of his back hair. DIRTY OLD MAN

I'm going to assume John was Dorothy Parker.

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, maybe he didn't think you were gay, but it was WISHFUL THINKING on his part.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:25 (eighteen years ago)

HEY MY CAR SUCKS TO THE TUNE OF $603.48 IN UNEXPECTED OUTFLOW GDMN MOTHERFUCKING BITCHASS FUCK.

― John Justen, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

John as Dorothy Parker. lolz (Sorry, John.)

Also laughing at Mr. W4rr3n story. I don't want to think about his back hair or lack thereof. It was bad enough that Mr... crap, the guy who subbed for Mrs. C00per when she was on maternity leave - never wore and undershirt. He was DISTURBING.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

Ugggggg, money, so sorry John. (Didn't you have car trouble right before Xmas, too? Your car has a holiday curse, clearly.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

HUNTER S THOMPSON

Also Sara I will remind you again... SANDB3RG

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

Mr. WHatshisfuckingname for the Dale Warland Singers?

― John Justen, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

Thank you, Dan. It's like I don't *want* to remember his name...

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

I refuse to googleproof "Dale Warland Singers".

― John Justen, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, he sang with DWS? But he sucked!

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

I think it was during my freshman year that a bunch of my older friends went on choir tour with Mr. W4rren chaperoning and he caught them watching some porn movie about a "Mrs. Barrington."

Cut to Sno Week and someone decorated the window outside the choir room with a graphic of a woman on skis and the words "Mrs. Barrington WANTS YOU!" That cracked me up every time I saw it.

Mr. S4ndb3rg taught at Olaf for a while, I think. But at least the music dept. there had the sense to not hire him permanently. (But imagine my horror at randomly seeing him on campus...)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

That was like a ray of sunshine into my cloudy day!

Wait, so was John really Hunter S. Thompson, or do we get to keep guessing?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

Like, he really really really sucked to the point where 60% of the tenors in the various choirs were better than him, and a good 75% of those tenors were baritones!

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

I don't approve of DALE WARLAND SINGERS ANAL PENETRATION because I would probably audition for them if I moved back to the Twin Cities and, well, NO THANK YOU

― HI DERE, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know if I remember his singing, but I thought his teaching was lame and his warm-ups were designed to humiliate people.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

Really, there's only so far any of us will go to cheer you up, John.

It's a point of pride that I've never used anything other than paint and picture manager to manipulate images. Well not really pride, but laziness and the lack of the appropriate skill-set.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 6 April 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't really know what to say, except, "wow, congratulations!"

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

Did I mention that after seeing "Grindhouse", I will not be bothering with any further films this year, because it is patently obvious that it will be the best thing released from here on out forever?

Also, Tarantino half clearly the better half, no matter what some idiots think.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

Plus no literal disrespect intended towards friends and family...

I always take this is a given with you guys. Also because merciless teasing is my way of showing affection. (Well aware that people do not always get this, but I'm pretty sure you guys do.)

The first person to become a parent in the class of 1990 got pregnant when we were in 8th grade.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

Also, Tarantino half clearly the better half, no matter what some idiots think.

I hate how we never really know what John thinks about anything.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:19 (eighteen years ago)

Who was the first person in the class of '91 to get pregnant? L34h? C4rly?

(John, as much as I love Rosario Dawson and the lesbian lawyer from the movie version of "Rent", I can't fathom sitting through 40 minutes of uninterrupted Tarantino dialogue regardless of how awesome the subsequent car chase is; let's not forget that his addition to "Sin City" was beyond worthless and hideously misplaced compared to the rest of the movie.)

― HI DERE, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

It's possibly the best writing he's ever done, and this is coming from someone who went in expecting the Rodriguez stuff to be far superior.

Also, fake trailers UNIVERSALLY AWESOME, Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" in particular.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

L34h, I believe.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Wow, your class was way behind mine. Remember, Chr1s H. was pregnant with #3 when my glass graduated. (Honestly, I can't imagine how she even finished.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

L34h's daughter must be in high school now... whoa.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, a SENIOR in high school!

― HI DERE, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

No, I think a junior (am I remembering spring of 1990 incorrectly? It's 2007 now, right? And she could have held her back until she was 6 to start kindergarten...)...

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

Jeff must be too involved in another thread to make a "next year John can date her" reference.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

What do you mean "next year"? I'm surprised you haven't broken up already!

Sara yr right, that means C4rly's kid may be older.

― HI DERE, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, so C4rly first then? (I only knew her to say "hi" to in the hallway. Wait, isn't there a yearbook supplement picture of her at prom while she was pregnant? This wouldn't have been so obvious if someone hadn't decided to put a strange caption on that. At any rate, which yearbook supplement that was could clarify.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

I have the *clearest* memory of sitting with Chr1s H. in gym class when she was pregnant and I was on crutches. She was tut-tutting about C1ndy using birth control after having a baby. (Chr1s H. took some parts of Catholic doctrine way more seriously than she should have, considering how she was MISSING THE MAIN POINTS.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

I'm trying to remember when L34h disappeared to arts high, which would help me nail this important point down.

Also, I think I just inadvertantly called Ned an idiot. I should spell out my grndhs point more clearly, because I'm scared/bored to death by the actual grindhouse thread. Rodriguez is either doing a farce (ala Airplane), or a direct tribute (ala later comedy zombie movies from the early 80's). Tarantino is executing a brilliant satire that stays completely within the grindhouse style, somehow doing a comment and a tribute simultaneously, and in my opinion, perfectly.

― John Justen, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, L34h was in Les Sylphides with me during my junior year, but she wasn't in the weird modern ballet (complete with unitards) that we did my senior year, so she left for the arts school for the 1989-1990 school year.

(Also M4ur33n St41g3r left that year to do dance and would come back occasionally to our class and was suddenly WAY better than me... which was annoying because before that the two of us usually got the biggest parts. I was so jealous.)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

Apropos of both nothing and everything, my divorcing friends' son is named Quentin after Quentin Tarantino.

John, FB, remember when we went out to dinner with my parents while John was still dating 4l1 and she ordered many glasses of wine on their dime, then told them she was 19?

Good lord, what have I been missing here. Anyway, Grindhouse is great, Tarantino's half is great when it gets there (it takes too LONG to get there, sorry John) and the thread isn't scary but Morbius is curious/obvious.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:37 (eighteen years ago)

So yes, Dan, the uninterrupted dialogue flow will have you pounding a few walls at points. But the car chase itself is great.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

I want to go to new movies. ENVYING.

Also want to add more to the "adorable parent thread," but am fearful that if I start I'll just keep writing forever because... J4ne. Just too many stories.

Haha, Dan, I forgot about that.

BACONTRAP

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 9 April 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

BACONTRAP?

(I think I caught this while skimming the DC thread and I have to tell you that I think that, for men at least, bacon would be too salty. Also, did I tell you that I was explaining C3l3n4's bleach theory to a lesbian friend of mine and she thoughtfully said, "I always thought it tasted like salty mushrooms" in this really deadpan way. This is the kind of conversation you miss when you do not meet me after my classes!)

Helpful information from my sociology book:

This theme of conflict is clear among one recent U.S. countercultural group - punkers. Some punkers are just part-timers who dye their hair purple and listen to death rock but nevertheless manage to go to school or hold a job. Hardcore punkers, however, angrily reject straight society... (Brinkerhoff, p. 44)

I can't answer that unless you say whether you are or are NOT a punker. (xpost, dammit)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

Actually, if you'd ever seen me see a movie - any movie - with zombies in it, you'd remember. I CANNOT watch them; they freak me out so much. I saw half Night of the Comet at a Loony party at MJ's house (probably the last time I was there before it burnt down).

I'm 35 now, so maybe I can handle the zombie movies. I want to see Shaun of the Dead and I need to work up to it.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:37 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, you have to see Shawn of the Dead.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, Kali likes zombie flicks probably about as much as you do, and she loved shaun of the dead.

FB, we might as well give it up. (Or possibly I'll write some more later; I'm trying to study here. FAILING, but I have to TRY.)

Okay, John, I'm getting your point re: Shaun of the Dead, but so far as I know Kali doesn't live with a cemetery in her backyard. (Also, I'm clearly wimpier than Kali, it's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. And CEMETERY.)

Sara, see Shawn. I promise you will not be frightened. The zombies do not come from cemeteries.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

All right, maybe I'll stop inching it down my Netflix queue. But promising I won't be frightened by something with zombies in it is completely wrong-headed.

None of you were around the night I decided to rent Cujo, were you? Same kind of thing. (If you were there, you would have seen me standing nervously behind the couch for most of the movie. Also, I have yet to see anything past the first hour of Peter Jackson's King Kong.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

You may run into a few problems, but the zombies really are silly. Of course, part of the joke is that zombies are inherently silly.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

You may run into a few problems

(like never sleeping again)

part of the joke is that zombies are inherently silly.

The worst part is agreeing with this intellectually, but knowing it will affect me anyway.

I'm sure I told you about the time C4th13, in casual conversation, informed me that, scientifically speaking, zombies were more likely than dinosaurs. Kind of overlooking a few minor points, like dinosaurs actually having existed... oh, who am I kidding, dinosaur movies scare me, too. I should really toughen up.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Definitely. But actually, that is kind of a cute zombie.

Anyway, yes, Shaun of the Dead.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, are these old-fashioned shambling zombies in this movie, or are they the modern, fast-moving kind? Because I don't care how funny the movie is; if the zombies move fast, I'll never recover.

John, you look kind of girly when you carry a purse. Stop it.

John J., if that phone were a cigarette, you know you would. and I'm not entirely convinced about the phone.

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)

All men end up carrying a purse for someone at some point in their lives, and all men learn that the only proper technique is to carry it like a football.

btw, the website says that the bag features "hand-embroidered sperm". WELL THANK GOODNESS.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, given that some of J031's purses are the size of Lesotho, I can't really carry all of them like a football.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, thanks for that btw.

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

I'm kind of trying not to 1. imagine some poor woman going blind sewing on sperm beads BY HAND and 2. imagine Dan carrying J031's purse AT ALL.

well at least it was purposeful

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 11 April 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

Also John, everyone knows that you would smoke cigarettes with hand-tossed sperm on them, so stop fronting on the "ew hand-embroidered sperm" tip.

SNAP: Sara, the red psuedocrocodile one gets me the most looks!

I think, for the first time in a long time, John is starting to feel well.

Janis is the lead, so I looking forward to the experience, just as I looked forward to Shocker.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:06 (eighteen years ago)

an Ayn Rand play

I don't see why we never put something like this on in high school.

Also VF = you want to avoid 4th of July weekend, weekends where kids are going after prom, the day that kids go with their physics classes... and maybe weekends in general. (I've always thought less crowded = more fun, but YMMV).

SF = you're limited to the two weeks it happens.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

I caught a late bus this morning and missed my transfer. At the point of transfer, the driver didn't unlock the back exit. I shouted for him to let me off and dropped me off half a block from my stop. Throughout the episode, some blue-hair staring at me like I'd peed in her handbag. I was all grumbley and screw stupid Friday the thirteenth, and then on top of it some people at the intersection rolled down their windows and started yelling at me. I tried to ignore them, but they wouldn't relent. It was an older hippie couple that I know from my bus route. They drove me to work and we discussed their plans for a rain garden and cracked jokes about bat guano as an alternative energy source. I got to work 5 minutes early.

Dear hippies,

Many of your kind are gracious, intelligent and entertaining. I will try to be less disparaging.

Love,
FB

Dear Serendipity,

You are awesome.

Sincerely,
FB

PS We used to belong to a community organic farm down here and I swear everyone else in it were hippies. We didn't fit in very well, but some hippies really know how to cook. Re-hashing Vietnam got a little old, though. And I almost started hated acoustic guitars.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

(good thing you didn't start those hated acoustic guitars tho, you can almost never get them to stop)

― HI DERE, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:11 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, HIPPIES LOVE DISNEY WORLD SHOCKER: FILM AT 11!!!

(also Rock 'N Roller coaster, you have to go go GO to MGM Studios asap - it's the only coaster I've ever been on that begins by going from full stop to 60 miles an hour in the first 2 seconds. Serious ADRENALINE...)

Just had to get that off my chest.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

I might consider becoming a hippy if I could drive a VW bus, though. I like how they look like a giant brick driving around.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

All of the baby-boomer hippie types I know are wonderful people. Other than a few insufferable hippie types I knew in college and shortly thereafter, I have rarely encountered an irritating specimen.

Gen X hippie hatred mostly posturing, news at 11.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Hahah, Sara, my parents have always driven VW buses, from the old two-tones to the modern (and less bricklike) models. When we had a Vanagon and a 240 Volvo, we called them Big Box and Little Box.

― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

I am undisturbed by hippies, but don't believe that they shop at Talbots, drive Passats, or that they are bothered if they go for a week without shaving their legs. My efforts to become a hippy failed long ago.

I do hate to disappoint Dan, however.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, I had a friend with a VW bus, probably a late 70s or early 80s model. It was hilarious every time he drove me anywhere.

(Also, this guy is just hilarious - insanely brilliant but utterly clueless, plus he's nearly 7 feet tall.)

Do your parents still drive VW buses? I haven't seen one in YEARS!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:32 (eighteen years ago)

I will only add that there are people who exhibit qualities that are reminiscent of hippiedom that are not trying to adopt a lifestyle or affect a pose. These people can be as cool as the old hippies.

You guys know my mom went to Kent State, right?

― HI DERE, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't know that!

Your mom is like the anti-hippy, though. (Seriously, I always think of her as ELEGANT.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

Also, Dan, I told the story about your Dad and his orange juice last night. I can't remember why I did this.

Furthermore, every time I reload this thread, the first thing I see now is that hippy girl with dreadlocks and dog. It is a little scary!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

Kent State?!?! What year?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

The things Dan has been keeping from us all these years...

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

Did anyone ever decipher whether the apocryphal "D4v3 M4tts0n got shot at Kent State" story was a bunch of bullshit or not?

― John Justen, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, no, he supposedly got shot at Texas A&M by the belltower shooter. My bad.

― John Justen, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

How did I miss that story?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

I am thinking of the same D4v3 M4tts0n, right? (Kind of a jerk, directed high school musicals, had a super nice wife who taught English, too...?)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:52 (eighteen years ago)

That's the one, supposedly shot through the left wrist, played dead.

I'm guessing he was just drunk enough to not know where he was at the time.

― John Justen, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

Hey, by the way D4v3 M4tts0n, wherever you are, I still hate your ass.

― John Justen, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

Where did you hear that story? Your interpretation could be right. Assuming he didn't imagine the whole thing.

The great thing about Mr. M4tts0n is that everyone could have their own reason for hating him.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, the night of the Thespian banquet my senior year, he had the nerve to come up to me and tell me that he had wanted me to be more involved in West Side Story than I had been. Sorry, I wasn't interested in begging to be stage manager. IDIOT.

(Also, his casting decisions = seriously questionable.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

I am picking up my pool table tomorrow.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)

BTW, D4v3 M4tts0n, I also still kinda hate your ass.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

We're nearing unaminity on M4tts0n's ass.

When did you decide to get a pool table, FB?

My parents got one in the mid-90s, but since they moved they haven't set it back up. When I asked my mother about it, she said she wanted to put it back up because she "uses it to wrap Christmas gifts." Multiple use item!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

When did you decide to get a pool table, FB?

Approximately two hours ago.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

I thought he was mostly harmless but then again he cast me in good roles. I also thought it was funny that he had a Thermos(TM) full of vodka at every rehearsal. Oh yeah, also Sc0tt M0st as Bernardo = COMEDY GOLD. So, D4v3 M4tts0n, I don't really have anything against you *shrug*.

My mom was at KSU from '58-'61, then went back in '70 to finish her degree. At least, I think that was the chronology; I know she wasn't there when the shootings happened but she was there beforehand and she finished afterwards.

― HI DERE, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

Your mom was obviously in collusion with the Feds.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:51 (eighteen years ago)

Dan's mom's multiple secret identities should be looked into. That's all I'm saying.

Okay, I have to ask - where are you going to put a pool table FB?

Sc0tt M0st was just funny, all the time. I saw him at the 10 year reunion, and he was still pretty much the same. The vodka thing, though, I did not know about. (OR, I forgot it I guess.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:55 (eighteen years ago)

I remember M4tts0n casing M4r14 L4ng3nf3ld in big solo parts for Bye Bye Birdie and The Music Man. REALLY questionable choice.

Dude, I am too. The next hour and a half are going to take forever.

too true

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

I'm bored, too. J. is still sick, so I'm trying to keep my eye on her while reading homework stuff. It's not very exciting... but at least there hasn't been any vomiting in the last few hours.

Look on the bright side, Blaze; you may be bored, but you're not barfing.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

That goes for Ned and Caledonia, too. (At least I hope no one is barfing.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

But if I was throwing up I could go home NOW

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

I hate the word barf with a undying passion. But not nearly as much as I hate the word "jacuzzi" (shudder)

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm, I was just going for the alliterative effect.

Don't start throwing up just to go home; it will ruin the rest of your weekend.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

Tonight I see JAPANOISE FREAKOS:

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music/amt.jpg

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

I just viewed all the same pics FB

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

are they a band, ned?

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

Whoa Ned.

Okay, so now I'm driving myself nuts trying to think of some word that I can't stand because I know that there are some, but I can't think what they are!!!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

I wan't "Japanoise Freakos" to be not only a band, but a modern art performance collective. Don't disappoint me Ned.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:43 (eighteen years ago)

Guy in first pic looks so despondent.

"Fuck those kids, fuck spring break, and fuck this job."

JAPANOISE FREAKOS

I am intrigued.

He's probably just realizing what a pain in the ass that [word Caledonia hates] will be to clean.

er, xpost

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

To explain -- that is the very great band Acid Mothers Temple:

http://www.acidmothers.com/

Seen them a number of times -- always put on a great show, and they start their American tour tonight in LA.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:47 (eighteen years ago)

And they play Minneapolis on May 6th so go see 'em. (Seriously, go -- they won't disappoint.)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:47 (eighteen years ago)

May 6th huh. Ned, can you babysit for me that night? ;)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

I will do so with my mind.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

TS: Babysitting - Ned's mind vs. random Carleton student

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

Sounds very atmospheric.

(AMT, not Ned's mind babysitting)

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

OK maybe both.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

I am now entertaining myself by listening to 30 second clips on items. (AMT, not Ned's mind, although if he'd be willign to put that out, I'd listen to that, too).

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

see also youtube

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

That should read "30 second clips on iTunes."

Curse you lame inability to type coherently!!!

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

I always forget youtube, which is really dumb since my kids are obsessed with watching old Weird Al Yankovic videos. And A. is fixated on some woman in a band called "Aqua" (I think...).

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:03 (eighteen years ago)

lol "Barbie Girl"

C4rniv4l cru1s3 lines is holding auditions today for bands to play crappy music on their boats. all of the singers are outside in the hall freaking the fuck out.

Almost every instrumentalist has passed the audtions. Yet I wonder, are the divas going down?

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

Pi!!!!

Caledonia, how can you ever be bored with such antics going on right outside your door?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

(Even if you're bored, less than a half hour now!)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

don't I know it. One girl just got through. She climbed her super tall boyfriend like a tree. I watched that through the window. that was er, cool, I guess.

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:33 (eighteen years ago)

like *he* was a tree, that is

― Caledonia, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

I hope that wasn't further commentary on Caledonia's job. If so, it looks like she could be attacked by catpeople in unitards. I just don't know that she would take a job like that.

Anyway, I saw an ad last night for the brief upcoming Dirty Dancing movie revival, May 1 and 2. Please, someone MUST take FB for his birthday. "Nobody puts J3ffy in the corner!"

After you shoot the rapper, he disappears and the screen goes red.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

To be fair, it's really "shoot 50 Cent" who essentially has made a career out of not knowing how to dodge bullets and has probably trademarked his name so that this scummy little ad couldn't use it.

Still kind of utterly reprehensible, tho. Also, YOU SHOT THE RAPPER.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

Oh irony.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:06 (eighteen years ago)

That makes a little more sense to me. These kids. Still has a creepy vibe.

Still trying to catch up on all the news about Virginia Tech.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

I caught part of Dateline last night (at least that was what I think it was) and they literally said something like, "join us as Massacre at Virginia Tech continues after this break." A. was completely horrified and literally said, "they gave it a TITLE?!" I kind of thought that after over a decade of tv exposure he'd have gotten over being shocked by the Horrible Reality As Shown on Television thing, but apparently not.

So, yeah, I'm following along w/ news articles and skimming ILX threads.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

Stick with the news, stay away from the ilx threads.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

Better advice has probably never been written, but you know, sometimes you just can't look away.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:34 (eighteen years ago)

I'm enjoying babbling about the 2nd Amendment, though!

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I'm treading pretty carefully on that thread, as I'm sure you guessed by now.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:35 (eighteen years ago)

I'm still laughing about Dan's subtle Dick Cheney reference from last night.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

Hahaha yeah, I did guess!

BTW, did you see my suggestion on the IMM poll thread? SELESKI PWNS

Okay, so I'm lifting this from gun control debate thread:

In all honesty, I think my mom would respond "Why not?"

-- John Justen,

Does anyone but me remember John's mom's story about the HSTNGS cop interviewing her about a dog that had been killed (in some disturbing way that I don't quite remember). The punchline of the story was this cop - who apparently didn't notice much - asking her, "well, Mrs. Justen, are there any open fields around here?"

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

So John's Mom >>>>> HSTNGS cops.

Okay, so last night our lab TA came up and told me that my lab group reminds her of Sex and the City. I'm not sure how to interpret that.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

I have logged onto myspace twice today and for once the "cool new people" have caught my eye. The first time because the third person was Dennis Kucinich, the second because the third person was Joe Biden. WTF.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

I remember the days when words like "cool", "new", and "people" had imbedded meaning.

Those were the days.

God I feel old now.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

From the Minnesota thread:

I don't know what happened to the Hastings thread, which I was going to post this on, BUT my band is playing at the UPTOWN BAR (3018 Hennepin Ave. South) this Friday. All current Minneapolitans are welcome. It's sort of a weird last-minute show, so we're on the bill with a hip-hop act and a laptop DJ (at least I think that's what they are). Anyway, my band is called CANASTA, and I think we're going to be on at like 10:30.

-- jaymc, Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:21 PM (6 minutes ago)

Hi Hastings! I went on a date with a girl from your town the other night. She was cool and I hope to have the pleasure of her company again sometime soon.

oh dude there's like a thousand of those in HSTNGS

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

Well, everyone knows HI DERE.

I have no idea who your date was... but that last name isn't uncommon in Hastings. Nowhere near as common as "B4u3r," though.

Myspace update: I just saw "Rudy" (as in Guiliani) as a "cool new person." Apparently the third space is now reserved for Presidential hopefuls or something.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

...and then Bill Richardson.

It's a sad commentary on my own life that I recognize all these people as candidates isn't it.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

Chris Dodd!

(I should add that "Rudy," "Bill," and "Chris" are just first names - I'm going by photos here. Maybe I need to add to my course load. Or possibly consider studying.)

Great Northfield, MN Book Raid

Tuesday, April 24 5 - 9 pm
Wed, Thurs & Fri 9 am - 9 pm (50% off day)
Saturday 9 am - 12:30 pm ($4 bag sale)
Saturday 1 - 3 pm (books are free)

This is in the Northfield Ice Arena, very easy to find (it's right off Hwy 3), it's the largest used book sale in MN, and it is great. I usually go to the first night and the last afternoon, but classes are in my way this year. (So I guess I'll go Wednesday morning). But it's usually AWESOME, and others should go - especially Tuesday night if you can.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

I talked to M4rk K. this morning and here are his Mr. M4tts0n insights:

1. he believes the Texas A & M story, as Mr. M did have scars on hand & wrists

2. it wasn't vodka in Mr. M's thermos, but in fact scotch or bourbon

That is all.

I'm not sure which of us you are addressing, but I'm pretty sure that as a team we could take you down without getting bitten.

That being said, I'll put you ahead of the tortoise in the cookie line as well.

But if you don't like chocolate chips, there's gonna be problems.

Hi guys. I haven't been around much today because I pretty much feel like ILX in general can go fuck itself. Nothing personal.

This might be solved by a cookie, though.

Fine, you can be in line for a cookie, too. Before the tortoise even.

See, at least none of us have staples on our heads.

xpost that is good.

― John Justen, Thursday, 19 April 2007 22:03 (eighteen years ago)

If you think my physiology test is good, you just go ahead and take it for me, Mister.

no, the not staples in head thing.

― John Justen, Thursday, 19 April 2007 22:05 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, but (and I know I'm not a veteran or anything), but for the first time I really feel like this is the worst it's ever been. Between lurker and the fact that mickey is given free reign without consequence and the noise board being no fun at all, I'm really only hanging on here for this and the DC thread.

Which I'd gladly/much rather engage in somewhere else.

heh. xpost. forgot the peeing thread, but it looks like we agree overall.

― John Justen, Thursday, 19 April 2007 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

Okay the pee-sitting down thing... completely on the too funny/TMI border. And lots of helpful information for mothers of little boys just getting into potty training!

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 19 April 2007 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

John, sorry I don't have better/comforting words (or even any actual cookies to hand to anyone today - but sometime I will, seriously, all of you).

Hang in, do something fun tonight, have a drink, and stay off the threads with the Krazy People.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 19 April 2007 22:19 (eighteen years ago)

It's hard for me to say "worst it's ever been" because I've been here so long that to most people who don't actually engage with me, I'm a hopeless charicature who is either ignorable or a big massive target, and it's been that way since about... 2004?

Okay I am depressing cat right now, sorry; work has been completely sucking this week. Bottom line is the folks I interact with the most are on the threads I listed (or are people I've interacted with for years online and you guys have bonded with/positively interacted with almost all of them).

I kind of wish I hadn't given up my position as an ILE moderator because the shit with Mickey would have been nipped in the bud a long time ago.

― HI DERE, Friday, 20 April 2007 00:11 (eighteen years ago)

Well, he's banned for three days now.

Haha I saw! lolz

― HI DERE, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:16 (eighteen years ago)

I'm certain the petulant shit fit he launches when he gets back will be ban suitable as well, so things are looking up.

― John Justen, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:18 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, sorry work has been sucking for you this week. It seems to be going around, actually. But yay on the banning of someone who seems determined to go out of their way to not get along.

Now, time to start this test.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 20 April 2007 02:38 (eighteen years ago)

When this physiology class is over, it's going to be time for some serious drinking. AAAAAARGH SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE someone else choose a setting for FB's story. I'll play later this afternoon. Right now... LUNCH.

Which one of you jerks is going to lend me a cigarette. SERIOUSLY.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 20 April 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

Fine, will you give me cigarettes if I'm nice to you?

― Sara R-C, Friday, 20 April 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's a really bad idea.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 20 April 2007 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

Yes it is SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT THEN?

(It is a sad commentary on this class that several of us non smoking nursing majors want to go outside before class and smoke. NURSING MAJORS PEOPLE!!!)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 20 April 2007 18:10 (eighteen years ago)

(Yes, yes, you're right, I know. I will try to calm down now. Thanks.)

I am holding one out to you now.

I am taking it and realizing that I don't have a lighter.

HAND ME AN ACETYLENE TORCH, PLEASE.

I have a damp book of matches and a cracked magnifying glass.

Important Limbo Study

Honestly, from reading this, the description of "limbo" sounds pretty good. I guess my kids are still doomed, though, since they aren't babies anymore.

hahahahahaha I love that we worked the "bitchin' in the oversized scooter" story into our joint novel. (Hey, we should do a team for NaNoWriMo next year, I might actually finish if a) someone else is depending on me, and b) I only have to write 16,667 words.)

― HI DERE, Saturday, 21 April 2007 02:48 (eighteen years ago)

When you're right you're right... and you're always right. About everything.

16,667 is about the number of words I managed in 2006, so I think I could do that. As long as there's no rule that it has to make sense.

― Sara R-C, Saturday, 21 April 2007 03:35 (eighteen years ago)

You have saved my grade! I was a bit unnerved by the re-run of yet another of R0bb1e's acquaintances asking if we were sisters - or in this case twins. (Actually I think this is kind of funny and so does she. At MJ's Xmas party last year we were like, "D34n has a TYPE!")

Yeah, there's no way I'm going to average 4 movies a week.

oh, congratulations on the addition to your family, FB!

― Caledonia, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

He should be grateful that I got him a school aged kid. Infants take up a lot of time (they sleep a lot, but they keep waking up). See how nice I am?

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

Also, it's not that easy to literally find a red-headed stepchild.

Why do I love this thread so much?
I called someone a " Silly McGoofsalot" just the other day.
It does tend to diffuse any insulting that was planned.

― aimurchie, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

Why do I love this thread so much?

I don't know, but if you're looking for mail order family members, I can't help you until my physiology class is over.

Also, I'm definitely going to call someone "Silly McGoofsalot" in lab tonight. You have vastly improved my evening plans.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

My new wife makes excellent bunt cake and she is a masseuse. I didn't even know I liked bunt cake. That is how awesome she is.

Plus my kids just built an addition on the house. They eat our recycling and they are only present when I want them to be cute or play catch.

If you are in the market for a new family, I can't recommend Sara's placement skills highly enough.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe she makes a good bunt cake, but how is her bundt cake?

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

Not to worry Dan; she also teaches spelling in her free time. I tried to cover all the bases.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

FB's going to be a lot less happy when he realizes that I registered him for accounting classes, though.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

roffle

they also make kori rotti, which sounds tasty.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:46 (eighteen years ago)

OK, I'm finished with you racists. I'm going to go home to my Bunt Wife and my Amish kids and be done with you.

Plus, I totally talked to the professor and i get to audit the accounting class, so :P

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:48 (eighteen years ago)

The Bunts are a matrilineal, so they insist on treating the word "wife" as a title. That is why it is capitalized. I just wanted to clear any confusion before you people embarrass yourselves again.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:50 (eighteen years ago)

Also, the word "society" is silent and is this is a conversational format. Just keeping it real.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:53 (eighteen years ago)

Furthermore, Bunt has several unique grammatical oddities such as the "balanced 'to be' rule". It is very complicated and I don't have time to go into it right now.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

Not so very psyched.

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

OK. OK. But think about it this way: what if it was a one on one meeting where he licked your eyeball for an hour?

This is much better.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

Very true. Very true. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

Also, if that were the case, he would most likely swallow my contact and then I wouldn't be able to see. Oh, actually this meeting seems better already!

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:54 (eighteen years ago)

I don't get how you are the one responsible for motivating the youth - at your school, I presume. (I mean, seriously, I wouldn't hesitate to let you babysite my kids, but I wouldn't expect you to MOTIVATE them.)

I went to the booksale this morning, spent $22 on a box of books (and 3 c.d.s).

Best moments: seeing a book called Small Animal Dermatology on the medical table (I'm going to guess that isn't going to sell). And I bought a copy of a book called The Evolution Book, which is for kids 10-14: someone had stuck it on the corner of the table labeled "Bible Study Aids." Good times.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 15:17 (eighteen years ago)

I knew a kid that caught "Bible Study AIDS" once.

As usual, I didn't WANT to know.

Yay, Ned is back! Sorry yr sick, though.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

Was Portland fun at least?

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

SEATTLE

(haha EMPHATIC CAT IS EMPHATIC)

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure he was in Portland. I saw him there just the other...

Oh, I've said too much.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

I was in both Portland and Seattle, you crazy peoples.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

You are very free with your travel favors, Mr Raggett.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

Fun? Y/N?

How sick are you? I promise I won't blame myself.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

Cold and cough with attendant goo.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

Very sorry to hear that; I hope you recover soon. Of course, that probably will just provoke you to go off traveling and get sick again, but you have only yourself to blame!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

(At least the trip was worth it, yes?)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, completely. Go here for more.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

DAN WINS REBUS DAY.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

I will check that thread out when I'm more able to make sense of things. (And I don't mean "never;" shut up you guys.)

I can't decide if I'm envious of Dan's win or horrified. Oh, the conflicting emotions.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

When in doubt, http://members.cox.net/brueger/images/puppies.jpg

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not going to enumerate the reasons, but I don't think that will work for me.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

I want to create a fake myspace profile with that pic: y/n

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sorry, my mind just went immediately back to the D4v1d L4rs0n thing.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

that was an xpost to dan, I have no idea who D4v1d is.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

Neither do I, to be honest.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

(Short version of the story: that is the name of some random guy who called me up out of the blue, apparently believing that I was a swinger. I had to disappoint him.)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

PS Caledonia, the bottom lady is Penny Marshall, as seen on tv's Laverne and Shirley. That's all I can really help you with here.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

I just learned the theory today. motivating techniques next week

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:31 (eighteen years ago)

can you give us a teeny tiny hint?

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:31 (eighteen years ago)

you said nothing . . . ?

You said nothing before crying "The old lady weeps joint joint bong"?

What are you, a fucking spy?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU TRIED TO COMMUNICATE THIS WAY WHILE DRUNK, DUDE.

sheep fuckers make man cry, granny fuckers make man cry, old creaky meniscus makes granny suck on a bong

Jeff, are you sure you really want to share this dark time in your life with all of us?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:49 (eighteen years ago)

You said nothing when granny, in tears, cut her knees open and hit the bong

oh, my god. In the middle of that mess is it really [mustard]-[tard] = must.

― Caledonia, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

the clue is transformers

Optimus Prime.

What is something that Optimus Prime says?

Technically, Hot Rod says this, but all transformers know it.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

The answer is more irritating than you would guess.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

argh

I am responsible for ordering dinner for people working late tonight. I did so through an online service that I've used multiple times. Tonight, because I ~~was concentrating on diabolical rebus nonsense~~ am a total feeb, I forgot to actually hit the "submit" button on the order, so it was never sent and I have 3 hungry guys sitting around waiting for food that will never come.

argh

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:40 (eighteen years ago)

Quick order some food before they go cannibal. Boston isn't quite the Andes, but hungry guys are scary.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:42 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, none of them are rugby players, are they?

THERE GOES MY CHANCE OF GETTING COMIX TONIGHT, BAH

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

Store not open late?

It seems like you are already working awfully late (again); I hope things calm down for you soon. So you can buy comix. And eat at home and stuff.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:46 (eighteen years ago)

Store closes at 7:00; food will not be delivered until 7:45 (but will probably arrive at 7:10).

The sad thing is that if I leave before 8:00, as I am planning to do, this will not actually be a late night for me. Basically, if I am out of here before they turn out the lights = I am leaving at my normal time.

Sorry about dinner, Dan.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:52 (eighteen years ago)

(xpost to Dan)

Uggggg, that sucks. And this is typical?

A. has seemed stressed about his job lately, and I'm stressed by school - I hope that we recognize each other after things settle down.

Clearly, you need a quieter job. Nearer to a comic book store. (Hey, there's a comic book store in Eagan... cough.)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:52 (eighteen years ago)

Unfortunately, Sara, there's also Eagan in Eagan.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:53 (eighteen years ago)

John, I don't know where you find some of these images. And I never, never want to play charades with any of you guys.

Also, yeah, I'm not a huge Eagan fan, but since my friends live there (the ones who own the comix shop), I do visit on occasion. Can't be helped.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

"I throw up..." ????

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

I throw up (Jesus Christ/crucifixion - Rhode Island????) Maya (Fleshlight???) AYYYYY! assholes?

SNAP: My typical schedule when I'm not doing a show is 9:30 - 7:30.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

I throw up (JC - Providence???) Maya sucks a dick?

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, that is crazy. (Plus all your other activities. When the hell do you sleep?)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:56 (eighteen years ago)

I throw up, Christ on a cross, except for Rhode Island New England (esp MA) sucks a dick?

SNAP: Hahahahahaha UH

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)

I'm baffled.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

I throw up in my mouth a little dicks?

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

That last pic doesn't fit at all.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

I threw up in my mouth a little bits?

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmmm, maybe C4rl3t0n needs a programmer type. Less money, awesome benefits (you put in 3% retirement, they match with 12%)... plus tuition discount for your imaginary kids... ummmm... probably shorter hours... ummmmm... and it's in scenic Minnesota!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

I MEAN THERE IS OBVIOUSLY MORE THAN ONE BIT IN THAT PICTURE MR. REBUS FACE

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

There is something utterly disturbing about the Maya-lips-Fonz sequence, srsly.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:02 (eighteen years ago)

I would consider that if I hadn't been told by my wife that moving to Minnesota would involve me getting repeatedly stabbed by her.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:02 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, the weather is horrible, I can't deny it.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:03 (eighteen years ago)

...but it... uh... builds character!

"Frostbite? You'll be a better person for it."

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:05 (eighteen years ago)

At one point she said she'd move for a fur coat but I think even that's off the table now.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

lol J031. I could make vast amounts of chocolate stuff and explain "Minnesota Nice" to her...

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:12 (eighteen years ago)

I was thinking rich little, not "bits".

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:17 (eighteen years ago)

So "I threw up in my mouth a little."

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:17 (eighteen years ago)

I liked "I threw up in my mouth a little dick", personally.

Well, not according to context.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

We'll see how long that lasts before it gets annoying.

Is a Dan still at work?

I don't think it can last long.

If it is any solace, tonight I will 1. walk 5 miles on treadmill and 2. study respiratory physiology.

I'm sure everyone else has better late night plans than that.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:35 (eighteen years ago)

Dan wins "single image rebus" communication competition.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

My plans for this evening:

1. go home
2. drink one(1) beer despite disapproving noises from spouse who thinks that drinking anything during the week is a sign of alcoholism
3. make half-assed attempt to memorize "The Pearl Fishers"
4. give up and watch Adult Swim even though the only things they show nowadays that are worth watching are repeats of Futurama and Family Guy that I've already seen a bazillion times
5. cry a little into my pillow
6. binge-eat saltines
7. cry a little more into my pillow
8. watch Inuyasha while pretending to be 11 with no responsibilities

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:39 (eighteen years ago)

I can't deny Dan's genius.

omg according to J031 even I am in trouble and I hardly ever drink.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:40 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, basically ever since she became A SERIOUS SINGER she's been all "BOO ALCOHOL (except wine with friends) (and sometimes large rum drinks) (yeah okay, there is no consistency in this stance, just let me cluck my tongue disapprovingly in this one case, all right???????????)"

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

It's kind of cute.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

You can always use FB and I as counter-examples. Or maybe not.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:45 (eighteen years ago)

A. thinks it is cute when I get all, "NO you can't have a STEAK for dinner the night before a marathon; you need CARBS." Whereas I would think that would come across as shrewish.

Also making a mental note that J031 likes rum drinks.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

I would not find anyone denying me booze or steaks at any unspecified time to be cute.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:47 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, that does include while driving, or during sex.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:47 (eighteen years ago)

STEAK SEX, WAU

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:48 (eighteen years ago)

MUST RESIST FURTHER JOKES...

Anyway, yeah, I think A. thinks it is some kind of protective thing (and actually, it is). But just wait until the kids are older and I can follow him in the car, yelling at him to run faster...

Go home as soon as you can guys and have fun. I must struggle with kids/homework/all the stuff I've been avoiding for the past hour and a half.

Thanx for the lolz.

This thread went from sex and filet mignon to Saltines in the space of an hour. I think there's a lesson in that.

Milo sleeps in my bed now, but last night he got tired so he climbed up into the chair I was draped over and fell asleep on my chest which was super-cute, but I almost missed Keanu's first wave.

Sorry about your career doctor, but thanks for the laughs. Didn't Cap'n America also try to flush a joint down the toilet at the police station?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

Fluffy Bear, I'm disturbed by your apparent deep knowledge of this situation.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't even know that Captain America had a sidekick, FB.

― John Justen, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:31 (eighteen years ago)

Apparently not a very discreet one...

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, wait, didn't John LOSE a burrito a recently?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:38 (eighteen years ago)

He should see a doctor about that.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

umm . . . yeah. I, uh, found that burrito.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:55 (eighteen years ago)

What was John's burrito like?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:59 (eighteen years ago)

No Comment.

However, the burrito the doctor had is his pants is going on an interview and press junket. It's certainly getting its 15 minutes. Plus, it is finally being recognized for its astounding psychic abilites.

Here is a segment from its interview on THE VIEW, which will be airing tomorrow:

http://www.klorg.com/humor/burrito.jpg

― Caledonia, Thursday, 26 April 2007 20:11 (eighteen years ago)

I want to state categorically that I did not stick my burrito in the doctors pants.

That is all.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

John, what did you do with your burrito?

THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.

fucking fourth day in a row that something has come up which will keep me here until AT LEAST 8:00

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

ROADTRIP!

Plus I hear they have cigarette trees.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 26 April 2007 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

FB, you don't have a car AND you won't let me smoke. What fun is going on a road trip with you when I have to drive and I don't get to have any fun? Plus I don't care where I'm going, I'm going to change my socks.

Dan, I hope you get a break soon. Being overwhelmed constantly sucks. Any hope for a restful weekend?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

(I will have to find out if Dan's weekend will be restful later; now I must go off to physiology "lecture." I know yr all jealous.)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

Happy Friday, HSTNGS thread-dwellers!

I am in a good mood because:

1. no classes this weekend
2. we have a babysitter for tomorrow night
3. we will finally go out to celebrate my birthday (yeah, I know it was in February) - and we're going to Luci Ancora

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

A very happy unbirthday to you.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

Ha ha, thanks! It is ridiculous that it's taken us this long to organize this, especially since A.'s birthday is coming up in June. But finding a time and a babysitter has been unbelievably difficult lately.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

If any of you guys are in contact with people from the class of 1992, my sister is apparently in charge of planning the reunion; she's looking for addresses/contact info for people.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh, I don't think I can help her.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

Ha, me neither. I didn't know many people from that class, and the ones that I do know, she can easily find (I mean, how hard is it to find J3nny 3ck3s when my mother walks with her mother every day?).

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

Can your sister go back in time a year and plan a reunion for 1991?

― HI DERE, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

ugh

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

I suspect that her superpowers are still limited to "sneaking out of the house at night and letting someone [it used to be me] cover for her."

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

I want FB to plan your next class reunion, as I believe that it would be substantially new and different - and perhaps the envy of other years.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

omg you guys THE WEATHER WOW.

Also I am going to make a Tollhouse Pie. If the kids would stop fighting over (I kid you not) an empty box, this would be the perfect afternoon.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:50 (eighteen years ago)

I suppose King Solomon's solution would be rather ineffective here.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

No, it works perfectly with two kids; you divide them in half (split them up). I told 4l3x he could play LEGO Star Wars 2 for a while; J. is now playing with the empty box.

Of course, this solution is very temporary.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

The original King Solomon's solution wouldn't be temporary.

― John Justen, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:15 (eighteen years ago)

I was talking about the box. You people are messed up.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure there's ever a moment where you aren't talking about "the box".

― John Justen, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

You people are messed up.

Pot, kettle, etc...

You should just be impressed that a lapsed Catholic and an atheist even knew what you were talking about. Neither Catholics nor atheists are big on Bible reading, in my experience. (Which is weird with the Catholics, but seriously, it just doesn't seem to be part of the tradition.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

WHY THE FUCK AM I AT WORK

― HI DERE, Saturday, 28 April 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

Good question - and only YOU know the answer.

A. and Sc0tt P. just got back from a 15 mile run. There are all kinds of Saturday morning mental illness going on here.

PS Dan, don't you have rehearsal today?

― Sara R-C, Saturday, 28 April 2007 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

YES

― HI DERE, Saturday, 28 April 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

I hope you get a break soon, deX.

― Sara R-C, Saturday, 28 April 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

It is rainy and thundery and I don't want to study and also I hate women's clothing sizes. Grrrrrrr.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:13 (eighteen years ago)

I want this photo to be posted as often as possible, so that it may signal the coming of the end times.

It's rainy and thundery?

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

This is what I get for being in a windowless "office" at the moment.

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

Well, it is rainy and thundery HERE. I can't speak for West Saint Paul.

That picture is truly... you know what, there are no words. It should just speak for itself.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

This rain damn well better bring my irises up.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

I do look like a lesbian in that photo.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

HOTT!

DUDEZ I'M "MAKING IT" WITH A LESBIAN!

Bring on the lipstick types.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

FB PREFERS THE "FISH" TO THE "MEAT".

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

FB, maybe I should introduce you to my friend C4rr1e... she hasn't had a girlfriend in a while... ;)

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

COMFORTABLE SHOES.

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Oh wait, if you prefer the lipstick types, I'm afraid I'm all out of singles at the moment.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, lipstick lesbian matchmaker.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

Well Ned, everybody needs a hobby.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

However, if FB is starting to wear lipstick... I won't know what to do with that information.

Wait, maybe I should take him shopping with me?

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

I can't help but notice that FB isn't here to defend himself. He's probably out "doing it" with girls.

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

OHHHH SNAP!

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

He's not here because he's SHY.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

I'm taking hormone treatments in hope that one day I will be able to grow facial hair.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

Well, penciling it in isn't very convincing, I will say that.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

Quit gay-bashing FB. She tries as hard as she can.

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

I would NEVER gay bash FB. Just sayin' if you don't have facial hair, maybe you should just enjoy that fact!

Seriously, I need help dress shopping, and maybe FB can help.

I'm just bitter because he has a better figure than me.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

You guys are making me uncomfortable. I'm going to go find a safe place to be mustachioed.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

Aw, you know we love you, dearest FB. Don't go... :(

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:01 (eighteen years ago)

Way to go, Sara.

― John Justen, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:03 (eighteen years ago)

Oh sure, just because I don't ask YOUR advice on buying dresses, John.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:07 (eighteen years ago)

Tra la, it's May/ the lusty month of May...

(And not only that, tomorrow's J3ff's birthday!)

Yay, sunny May Day!

Loyalty day?!?!

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 13:16 (eighteen years ago)

I was rooting for "National K4li Motivates the Youth Day," but as usual the President took a different route. The disappointment has been crushing.

I don't think "Loyalty Day" fits in as well with "May Day" and "FB's Birthday." (happy birthday again, FB.)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

I know that it's a matter of little consequence, but seriously, May Day = LOYALTY DAY? C'mon, duder.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 13:30 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know, there's just something about reading through that announcement that grates. Maybe I'm reading more into it than I should, but just thinking about the American Revolution combined with the idea of "Loyalty Day" makes my head want to explode.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, I can't find your "how much do you make" poll, but I found this:

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:50 (eighteen years ago)

I am not giving FB birthday money, but I do feel like I owe him a drink since he inadvertently helped my test grade. 10/10 on that section!

Also, according to the helpful calendar my husband gave me for Xmas, there are 629 days left in the current presidential administration.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Wow, dudes, Jenna wants to be my friend!!!

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=179452761

She works as a model nothing big. I don't even know what that is, but it sounds impressive. I can't believe she noticed me. Do you think she's into me? Y/N

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

Should I comment her pics? What should I say? Nothing too raunchy lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

OMG, she has her own web cam can you believe it? I don't know that might make me jealous lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:18 (eighteen years ago)

Clearly, she's The One for you.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:44 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, so anyway -- Jeff drinks and thinks models fall in love with him. All is clear to me now.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

I'm confused about how all that wasn't clear to you before now. ;)

Hey, you grew up with the drunkard, it was more assumed knowledge to you all.

"grew up"

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

Also, it wasn't until recently that I learned that FB had an essay-writing drink when he was in college. Before that, all I had was my suspicions.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

"grew up"

Do you not remember your hedonistic youthful days of Hastings with glee.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

Oh sure, glee, hysteria, irony, all of that. I was just quibbling with the notion that we had grown up is all.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Now, who is coming with me to the Dairy Queen?

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

The reason we don't remember those days was because we were all hopped up on glee.

Hahahaha. That reminds me of one of my limericks.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

DO TELL.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

Someone's name rhymes with mascara. That's all I'm saying.

I think I got chastised for that one.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

Not as thoroughly as you should have been.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

And saying that my name rhymes with "mascara" is a bit of a stretch.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

Nope. That rhymes.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

Only the end of it rhymes.

Oh, all right, I'll admit it worked okay in a limerick. But I deny everything else associated with that particular poem.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, the name Sara rhymes with mascara.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah yeah, I've had too much sun this afternoon. Or at least that's my excuse.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

By the way, am I the only person on this thread who thinks of the book Firestarter every time I use a garbage disposal?

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

Never read it.

Pynchot, Dr. Herman Doctor at the Shop that watched Andy and Charlie McGee. "Pushed" by Andy and he committed suicide using a garbage disposal.

How does this happen?

FANTASTIC MARKETING IDEAS, PART ONE:

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Short version: as a side effect of being telekinetically "pushed" to do something else, some dude sticks his arm in a running garbage disposal. Yikes.

I re-read Firestarter and a bunch of other early Stephen King books when I was pregnant with J. and I couldn't sleep. The Dead Zone made me cry a LOT. (well, that book plus crazy HORMONES)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:34 (eighteen years ago)

John, I disagree that that is a "fantastic marketing idea." I think it's just a bit vague.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 19:34 (eighteen years ago)

hahaha. It's a great idea, but the sign-maker needs a new job.

John, I'm sorry; I had forgotten that you used to be a ballerina.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

Is that an ad for Russian brides?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:06 (eighteen years ago)

Why yes, yes it is. See, I knew that John was once a ballerina, but not that he was on the market as a Russian bride. He's really an interesting guy, isn't he.

Sara, you spelled "pointy" wrong.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

John, I still have my pointe shoes and they do make adequate weapons. I'm just laying out the facts here.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

Well of course they make good weapons. They're pointy.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

That, sir, is a falsehood. But believe what you will; just be on the lookout for flying pink shoes.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

Avoiding the use of the word in question is no substitute for good spelling skills, Sara.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

POINTE shoes is correct. "Pointy" shoes are something entirely different. But I forget that your French is limited to only a few words, and those would likely get you arrested in Paris if you uttered them in the street.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, Sara, it's spelled "pointy". "pointe" would be pronounced "point". You probably got confused because you associate the letter "e" with the "ee" sound, but a single "e" is not generally pronounced that way.

"Pointe" is not pronounced "pointy," but I don't expect you heathens to know that.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 21:10 (eighteen years ago)

If it would make you happy, "pointe" is Americanized to "point," as in "I'm going to take a point class tonight."

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

I don't recommend that any of you take a pointe/point class tonight, however.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

John, Sara's going to keep trying to cover her tracks with this made-up nonsense.

Sara, we're going to drop it. You spell pointy however you want.

First up, some phrases we use that are in fact road blocks to communication, and ways in which we can turn language in such a way as the child/student will take ownership of their feelings.

Slow Poke! = Hard to keep trying, isn't it?
Lazy! = How pleased are you?
Can't you do anything right? = Improving a little?
Just do it, don't think about being scared = Takes lots of courage
doen't it? Have a little?

More to come . . .

Here are some of the examples of ways in which adults need to state their own feelings and needs. This is modeling. Here are some examples.

"I want to keep my hair long. It's my hair isn't it?
PARENT MAY RESPOND: "It may be wrong, but I care about how others judge me on how my children look. That's not ideal but I'm human. I know better, but I have this uneasy feeling. Sorry!"

"Stephen takes piano lessons but avoids practicing"
RESPONSE: "I expect our son to get full value from the family expenditures."

Nick, 16, kicks a hole in the wall.
RESPONSE: "I care about the pain I see in that hole. I'm empathetic and I'm also frustrated. I expect us to take care of our enviroment, outside and inside."

NOTE: the word "you" is never used. . .

PARENT MAY RESPOND: "It may be wrong, but I care about how others judge me on how my children look. That's not ideal but I'm human. I know better, but I have this uneasy feeling. Sorry!"

If my dad had this to me when I was first wanting to grow it out, I would have asked if he had gone crazy.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 May 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

I know! AND it's completely inappropriate and out of place for me to talk like this to my kids in COLLEGE. They may be young, but dude, this is not the librarians place.

AND it is certainly not how I wish to talk.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 3 May 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

And yet you have learned well, in that you did not use the word 'you' in that previous post.

Caledonia has been trained to be my ideal babysitter!

(I might be lying; pretty much all I require is that they are still alive at the end of the evening and they haven't been given drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or allowed to watch scary movies).

Wait, is that how you are supposed to MOTIVATE the YOUTH?!

"I care about the pain I see in that hole" is the new ORLY

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, somehow coming from FB, that sounds dirty.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

FB stop coming over all dirty.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

I care about the pain I see in that hole, guys.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

EW!

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

Who's this "all dirty" person?

A LITTLE DICK BON MOT

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

FB, you just need a little more confidence. Or maybe Viagra.

I care about the pain that Jeff sees in his hole.

I care about the Jeff John sees in that hole.

All dirty bastards.

*actually terrified now*

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

I care about the dirt Ned sees in all these bastards.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

Somehow that seems way less scary.

Also, multipass.

Oh yeah, just GUESS where I'm going on Satuday night to see the spring musical...

That's right: Hastings Senior High School and Detention Center, that's where.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:55 (eighteen years ago)

Nice. What's playing?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

Grease.

We're taking Alex and mom is watching J. (After our experience at Beauty and the Beast where she loudly whispered "my underwear is crawling up my butt" during a slow, romantic song, we've decided to leave her home for a while more.)

Oddly, the last time I saw a musical at HSHS&DT, I also saw Grease - that was when M3liss4 was in it, approximately 8,000 years ago.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

Actually, that is the best review of "Beauty and the Beast" I've ever read.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

J. has a way with words, it's true.

Hey, take a look at this! WIRED magazine has a gallery of The Lamest Technology Mascots Ever."
http://www.wired.com/culture/design/multimedia/2007/04/gallery_mascots?slide=12&slideView=4

My favorite, and the clear winner,is Glenda:

― Caledonia, Thursday, 3 May 2007 19:51 (eighteen years ago)

Glenda wins.

WTF is this supposed to be?

What is that, a mug of shaving creme?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

looks like the blob really likes it "coffee." (lousy drunk)

― Caledonia, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

Also, he is kinda shaped like an orthopedic pillow.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:01 (eighteen years ago)

This guy's cute:

http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2007/04/gallery_mascots/hexley.jpg

But he's no Glenda.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

there is nothing even close the glenda. It's a fabulous name for a faubulous fluffy bunny with a penchant for deep water diving.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:04 (eighteen years ago)

Will Glenda be the Satin/Satan Cat of 2007?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:40 (eighteen years ago)

I was kinda hopiong it would be Milla Jovovich.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

Life is full of this type of disappointment, isn't it.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:49 (eighteen years ago)

I'm trying to decide on my test taking strategy for this weekend.

1. the usual half-assed non-strategy
2. FB's have a drink (or two) while writing
3. memorizing and repeating one of Caledonia's mantras
4. other

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

I care about the pain I see in that hole.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:03 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, I can't explain until after I hand in the test, but I think I just got a huge coincidental vote for #3.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 3 May 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

I care about the hand I see in that test-hole.

― John Justen, Friday, 4 May 2007 02:33 (eighteen years ago)

It's yours, isn't it.

You should be so lucky.

― John Justen, Friday, 4 May 2007 03:03 (eighteen years ago)

Well then, it's almost unanymous.

Which doesn't make it any less... ew...

Oh, like that's going to help.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 4 May 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

What is this term "multipass"

― Caledonia, Friday, 4 May 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

My interpretation: it's meaningless ILX nonsense. But I've already admitted that I can't keep up with changing slang with no context, so don't take my word for anything related to this topic.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 4 May 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

Without reading that thread, is it worth adding the movie to my Netflix queue or no? (Also - Rifftrax with it - y/n?)

omg my kids AND my husband would love those waffles.

Thanx for movie advice, FB. I am totally going on a movie-watching bender after the 15th of this month. CANNOT WAIT.

― John Justen, Friday, 4 May 2007 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

AHEM.

It is really hard to do this without being able to make arrows with notes. But a simple form of current major HSTNGS thread posters might look like this:

Hastings ---- John ---- Caledonia
FB
HI DERE/Dan ----- Ned
Sara

John, FB, Dan and Sara are friends from Hastings; I have set Ned apart with Dan because we "met" Ned through Dan; I have set Caledonia with John because they are in a relationship. I don't have a good way to indicate "FB and Caledonia are also friends outside of ILX;" adding less frequent posters, like river wolf, would make completing the map harder.

My physiology concept maps look a lot like the last one John posted.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 4 May 2007 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

Damn formatting. "John, FB, HI DERE/Dan, and Sara" should all be in a neat vertical row.

I can count on you guys to enjoy my dimming eyesight to the hilt. THANKS.

BTW, Grease was good; giant cast, some very talented. Kind of inconsistent.

I saw Mr. Schultz and he looks EXACTLY the same as he did 15 years ago. Is he some kind of vampire or what?

― Sara R-C, Sunday, 6 May 2007 03:33 (eighteen years ago)

If I never see another concept map it will be too soon. I seriously think this prof is going to make us make a concept map of the entire glossary of our physiology book as a final test. Sooooooo annoying.

― Sara R-C, Monday, 7 May 2007 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

Birth -> Don't get it -> Wait. No that's not it. -> Still confused -> Death

GUYS THIS DUDE LOVED OUR OPERA

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 00:30 (eighteen years ago)

The same sort of excess characterized the entire production, which appeared to have been designed by a suburban high-school freshman with an overactive imagination.

This sounds awesome. I am so sad that I had to go to classes this weekend. Under other circumstances (like if somehow my kids could take care of themselves), I would have rented a van and dragged A. and anyone else willing to go with me off to Boston. It's clear the The Pearl Fishers could have been the finale to the greatest roadtrip ever.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 01:27 (eighteen years ago)

In a further sign I am becoming one of you all, I picked up the Blue Up?'s album Spoon Forkd Dish for a buck the other day. And it's a good little album.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 01:50 (eighteen years ago)

Why, yes it is!

Time to rummage through the stacks and find it now.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:15 (eighteen years ago)

Have you guys heard the new LCD Soundsystem? (I'm assuming yes.)

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:22 (eighteen years ago)

no.

― John Justen, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:22 (eighteen years ago)

Yes. It's superfun.

*scribbles down title*

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:37 (eighteen years ago)

"Someone Great" is an excellent, excellent song off the album Sound of Silver.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:44 (eighteen years ago)

I'm never smart enough to bring my multiple music scribblings with me when shopping for c.d.s.

I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to figure out via last.fm what NIN album you were listening to, Dan. Is Year Zero the new release? A's birthday is next month and I am short on ideas here...

PS I have GOT to stop looking at the "spiders versus snakes" thread. I already know spiders are scarier; I don't need it confirmed. And yet I keep reading it. Brrrrrr.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, Year Zero is the new one. It is totes awesomes.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 03:24 (eighteen years ago)

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

which is scarier: snakes or spiders?

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:33 (eighteen years ago)

This review is much more positive, but technical problems were once again noted.

The production boasts plenty of dancing and shadow puppetry, usually put to attractive and sometimes poetic ends, though it relies a bit too heavily on lofting its characters into the air on wires.

There seems to be some agreement about the wire work, however.

Also, now that this weekend's test is over, I can share at least part of the extra credit question, which I took as a vote for Caledonia's mantra method of motivation:

The planet Caledonia has an atmospheric pressure of 600 mm Hg. The air on the planet is made up of three gases: Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo...

I was like "K. has a comedy planet. THAT'S AWESOME!"

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

Which is really funny given the mythical status of her name. LOL aaaaaagh I am being annihilated ROFL.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:52 (eighteen years ago)

xpost to bitchy queen

It sounds like there were some technical glitches and a few quirks in the staging which amused the audience. I imagine the first reviewer responding to this slight embarrassment by clutching his pearls as his eyes rolled up into his head, which slowly revolved 360 degrees, and then he literally spat fire.

I imagine him clicking his tongue against his palate and fidgeting and generally ignoring his neighbors. Especially with the fire bit.

What with all of this fire breathing and clucking he couldn't really hear the singing.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

My prof just writes really weird tests. (xpost)

FB has caused me to combine "bitchy queen" with "girl from the Exorcist" in my mind. That would make anyone a bit cranky.

My God John, what you said to that complete fuckwit on the racist ILM thread was completely brilliant.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 10 May 2007 04:43 (eighteen years ago)

?????

(please tell me the discussion of the "There's a BLACK person who listens to NIRVANA?!" "Wait, that's impossible!" NYT article is not still carrying on...)

Go here:

Read through from the revive yesterday and roffle at John's conclusive genius.

Meantime, hi dere I went on hike. I should start a hiking thread, I think!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:50 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, that was all very amusing and brilliant. (Also, John claiming ILX is a Christian website... roffles... partly because, well, JOHN.) Ned, thanks a ton for linking that.

Also Ned, if you're reading this, could you tell me the title of the Swans album that was mentioned on the "Friday afternoon" thread last week - I couldn't find it by searching yesterday. (Alternatively, I can wait until the thread is revived).

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:07 (eighteen years ago)

OMG, I so fucking love that album. xpost

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

THANK YOU NED, that's exactly what it was.

Reading through that thread, I didn't know which of John's responses Dan was citing, or if it was all of them. Just spot on & brilliant.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

Even better than reading what john wrote to that dude, was watching and listening to his reaction upon clicking "submit response." He was giggling like a drunkin' school girl. Actually, giggling probably isn't the write word, but he was cracking himself up. It was most excellent.

By the way, if you didn't click on it, the "cancel my account" link was to the mod request board on the sandbox. I'm still imagining his reaction when it asked him to register in order to post.

As of 5 minutes ago, today magically turned into Friday. At this time tomorrow I will be under the influence or fishing or both. Or under the lake.

― crackaphone bro, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

omg, today's quote is really... interesting.

I'm pretty sure that the crazy right wing guy in my Japanese class who told me that he thought I should have "at least a dozen" children was quoting Isaiah. Dude had no idea that I WAS pregnant and could have easily leaned over and vomited on him at any moment. I really regret not doing that.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

FB, congratulations on learning to bend space/time. Can you do that for me please (but without the fishing)?

I just want to get to the post-physiology-class partying and somehow not go to the last class (and yet I magically want to understand whatever our prof is going to teach us). Is that so much to ask?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

I want to go fishing!

― Caledonia, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:54 (eighteen years ago)

You should go!

My whole perception of fishing was pretty well ruined by my father telling me that I should "pee off the side of the boat" when my family went fishing - this was when I was about 11. (Maybe he had not yet realized that I was a GIRL?)

Everyone else can enjoy it, though.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

So did you pee off the side of the boat or not?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:03 (eighteen years ago)

cuz of my lady parts, I tend to pee in the boat.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

Pfft. Cheap excuses.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

ew?

― HI DERE, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

pretty much.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

Now you can't come.

― crackaphone bro, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

NO Ned, I did not pee off the side of the boat. I'm kind of wishing Caledonia had been there with me, though, because it's clear that she knows how to get her point across.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:29 (eighteen years ago)

So sad, Cracka. I was going to borrow this dude's gear.

― Caledonia, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

OK, you can fish in my boat if you wear astronaut diapers. No rubber tubing or garbage bags, though.

Awesome photos; your wife looks fantastic in blue, Dan!

This seems to have had a slightly different, er... tone, than the last opera you did.

(btw, J. is begging me to put on the pictures of the "fancy women" again, by which I she means the opera photos).

Also, I can't keep up with reading DC thread, but this is 8080:

Don't sleep on Hastings folks' ability to fuck shit up, even from afar.

Did I tell you that I had dinner with M1ke D0nnd3l1ng3r and his wife this past weekend (both from Hastings, both now psychiatrists)? One of them mentioned that they ran across someone during med school who was studying Hastings as, like, an example of a screwed up place. So we're not the only ones who noticed...

(Also M1ke and J3n are expecting a baby in September. And we had hysterics about the Hastings-only phrase "Er Ted." Remember that?)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

I always thought it was "NUR TED", but I'm not a native speaker.

Past tense or intense?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

Super tense. That was probably the least fun meeting I've ever had.

ME: You all understand that shit should be working by Monday, right? That's our code freeze and that's also potentially the first time people outside of the department will be looking at this release?

THEM: But we won't be done with all of our defects if you keep assigning huge waves of them to us!

ME: Well yes, I know that; I can do math. My point is that maybe you should consider that you might need to do some serious work over the weekend in order to have any hope of getting this shit done.

THEM: But you keep giving us all of these defects!

ME: Yes I do, because half of your code doesn't work. This still doesn't mean that you shouldn't be expecting the next few days to suck ass because GUESS WHAT? That's the deadline and it's been the deadline since the project got pushed beack for two weeks.

THEM: But we can't guarantee we'll be done with these defects by Monday!

ME: Do I really have to EXPLICITLY say "Do whatever is humanly possible to fix this shit"?

THEM: How come no one found this shit earlier? How come QA doesn't have to kill themselves?

ME (internally): How come you delivered this shit to QA when cursory unit-testing would have found it? Also weren't you here for the 800 other releases we've done where QA killed themselves because we missed our estimates by orders of magnitude?

ME (externally): I understand exactly what you are saying but that does not change the fact that it is my job to ask you to do whatever is humanly possible to make this shit work by Monday. Sorry, but that's how it is.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 10 May 2007 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

argh also I just wrote a gigantic "ok boss, stomping out of the meeting and slamming the door was not really the move" email, expect me to be out of a job by tomorrow

― HI DERE, Thursday, 10 May 2007 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

yay, I'm not fired!

boo, my boss thinks I'm a paranoid nutso now

― HI DERE, Friday, 11 May 2007 00:11 (eighteen years ago)

Wow Dan Wow. Paranoid nutso? I don't think that would be part of my description of you.

Who would do such a thing?

I'm looking your way, Scurvy...

also also ALSO, I don't know if it was luck or what (it FEELS like luck), but I got 103/100 on the physiology test that I took last weekend (so I missed 2 points and got all 5 extra credit points about planet Caledonia). I am going to say that this is because of the motivation mantra. I think I owe K. a drink. (Also I'm totally repeating that insanity this weekend for the final).

― Sara R-C, Friday, 11 May 2007 03:55 (eighteen years ago)

My boss told me today that I was good at making people feel really, really stupid with cold, implacable logic. She said it was akin to having a lamp that normally glowed at 60W that flares supernova bright when provoked, leaving you blinking and blind and wondering what the hell just happened to you.

^_^

― HI DERE, Friday, 11 May 2007 04:13 (eighteen years ago)

Wow... I don't think I agree with that assessment.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 11 May 2007 04:18 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, I think you have the logic/brilliant piece but it's the other part... jeez.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 11 May 2007 04:20 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, this is really bothering me since I know how hard it is to be all sunny when you're completely stressed out (which you have been lately). I think my entire family was ready to run away from me earlier this week because I was such a crab. I'm just saying, she should take into account that you are (seemingly) under a vast amount of work stress lately (not to mention everything else).

Okay, I've said my piece (for tonight); I'm going to go do some serious pillow-worshipping.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 11 May 2007 04:22 (eighteen years ago)

Argh, I just took a huge nap. I hate being sick. The clinic here has NO appointments available and I'm not up to driving to Hastings or Red Wing at this point. It's probably just viral, but for god's sake, all I want is a strep test.

Dear NaNo Participant,

Greetings from the NaNoWriMo off-season, where we have many, many things to tell you!

SCRIPT FRENZY LAUNCHES!

Thanks to Earth's slouchy axis, NaNoWriMo's contingent of Australian and Kiwi authors get to take part in NaNoWriMo in the summer. It's always sounded so nice to us---warm weather, cold drinks, and a few pages of prose between laps in the pool---that we wanted to share the experience with the northern hemisphere.

Which is why we're proud to announce the birth of a second major event in the Office of Letters and Light family. Script Frenzy---in which first-time scriptwriters and old pros get together to write feature-length movies and plays in June---has launched.

Like NaNoWriMo, it's free to participate. And also like NaNoWriMo, we're going to spend a great, hilarious month pushing our creative limits, getting in over our heads, and churning out pages of brilliance and embarrassing drivel. In Script Frenzy, you can even write with a partner!

Do you love watching movies? Ever been moved by a play?

It's time you wrote one. Come join the Frenzy. You can even sign into the Script Frenzy site using your NaNoWriMo username!

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:18 (eighteen years ago)

I'm in under my nanowrimo username, Jeffrey Brian. Anybody want to write a screenplay? I'll set up a google document that we can all access. Or, we could write it on ilx. If we fail to complete it, who gives a shit?
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, that shit is fucked up. I can easily imagine you destroying egos with the cold brutality of logic. Glad to hear you are still employed.

Also, what is your favorite beer?
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:29 (eighteen years ago)

Blaze! How was fishing? Did you get sunburnt? Did you take Caledonia? Did anyone pee on you?

What do you want to write a screenplay about? (Dan had an interesting idea on the Stephen King thread about soul-sucking Mr. Misties. I almost wrote something based on that last night when I couldn't sleep. But not in screenplay form...)
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

The souls-sucking mr. misty is a fun idea. I don't want to lock the brain-storm stage until we see who is interested in contributing.

I caught two perch and a bass. Released them all. I think everybody caught 2-3 fish. The weather was beautiful even if the fishing was sub-par.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

I'll write about whatever you feel like writing about, dude. Maybe I can get A. to participate. He needs a project. (Because training for a marathon is just not enough.)

Fishing sounds like it was fun. Was it insanely windy? I keep imagining you in a boat that is being blown awaaaaaaaay.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

I'm going to try and do the screenplay, but I'm leaning towards doing something serious, whcih probably rules me out for the mister misty thing (unless I want to do two.)
― John Justen, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

Oh god, please don't write two. Your head will explode.
― Caledonia, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

...and no one wants to have to clean that up.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

exactly.
― Caledonia, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

I have no intention of doing a serious screenplay, so, for me, this is a better opportunity for a collaborative project than NaNoWriMo.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

It will be fun, regardless of DQ content.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

They are building new DQ by the planned parenthood clinic on ford parkway. Just thought it add some fodder for the creative fire.
― Caledonia, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

And by "by" I mean, "next to"
― Caledonia, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

Now there's a combo.

Caledonia, you should write, too.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

If they turn off the italics here, I will turn them back on.
― John Justen, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

They're kinda fancy.

Ned, you might want to wait until I turn on Bold, Strikethrough, and Underline.

heh.
― John Justen, Monday, 14 May 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

Italics makes me feel like everyone is just being REALLY emphatic.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

Italics make me feel like we're quoting an ongoing conversation that never took place.

YES TO CRAZY SCREENPLAYS
― HI DERE, Monday, 14 May 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

(xpost to Caledonia) Hastings thread = odd dream world?

Ooooh, like The Black Lodge in Twin Peaks. (damn, am I remembering that right?)

Also, YAY DAN!
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 20:43 (eighteen years ago)

OK, Dan, Sara, and Jeff are in on the crazy screenplay thus far. Sara, do you have a Google account?
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, can you think of a better communal format for crafting our screenplay? Google Documents is easy.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks admin (Ned?)
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:14 (eighteen years ago)

How are we structuring this? Are we going plot outline -> scene breakdown -> scene assignment -> write & compile -> PROFIT? Or are we just going Jeff writes until bored -> Sara writes until bored -> Dan writes until bored -> repeat? Or are we doing full-on word-by-word collaboration?

I've never done Google Documents but I'm fine with that as a medium; the other option would be emailing drafts around.
― HI DERE, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

omg italics are gone!!!!
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

(And don't thank Ned, thank all of us for being chatty fuxors so that Sara's broken post is now in the middle hidden link.)
― HI DERE, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

show all messages = ITALICS ARE BACK, YAY
― HI DERE, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

I'm at a total loss about what a Google account even IS, but I'm sure I can get one.

argh broken link. I BLAME MYSELF!!!
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah, and I think we should make FB decide on a structure since this is his idea...

(That being said, I've seen "chain stories" work, where one person takes a segment and then passes it on. But the group was huge and it wasn't in screenplay format. AND there was a pre-agreed upon mythology that had been built up. So really, a totally different thing.)
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know how we'll do this.

First I need to find some basic tutorial about writing a screenplay. Should we script for a movie or a play?

We should do a plot outline together, starting with a volley of emails about our subject and structure.

Once we have an outline, we should see whether it makes sense to assign scenes or write serially.

It might be easier to send it around in a serial fashion, roughly 1 person per scene, but you can pass it around quicker if you are at a loss, or you can write more if you do it within a certain time-frame?

What if we divide the movie into three major themes? Each of us will be responsible for those scenes which fit primarily into the theme assigned to us.

There's probably information on the website. Tips and tricks and whatnot. We have 17 days to figure it out.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

Screw the rules. We are writing as a three-person team.
1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a script of at least 20,000 words and verify this word count on ScriptFrenzy.org.

2) You may write individually or in teams of two. Writer teams will have a 20,000 total word goal for their single co-written script.

3) Script writing may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on June 1 and must cease no later than 11:59:59 PM on June 30, local time.

4) You may write either a screenplay or a stage play.

5) You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

FB, you and I can pretend to be the same person.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:40 (eighteen years ago)

So is it too early to panic about this?
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

Er, yes?
― HI DERE, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry, I'm still wrapping up my physiology final, most of which was written under the influence of a high fever. I'm not even sure I wrote about physiology and now I'm afraid to look.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

Our project is not to be taken very seriously, Sara. We can have fun as long as everybody participates enough to keep it rolling.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

On an unrelated note, does anyone know the plural for "Judas"?

OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT.

Okay, if this requires drinking out of dead animals, I think I have to consider that.

Also, who says I take physiology seriously? The class has been so entirely bizarre that the only thing missing has been you guys sitting in the back, making snarky comments and throwing spitballs.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

I think my prof is going to be very confused if I turn in 10 pages of poetry instead of stuff about action potentials or the sympathetic nervous system.
― Sara R-C, Monday, 14 May 2007 23:19 (eighteen years ago)

Wait wait. I thought we said that John was not allowed and that we would pretend that it was his decision. I can't keep up.
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

It's so confusing to try to ostracize John. But I blame John for that.

i just want you guys to know that I called someone a "Silly McGoofsalot" yesterday. Which brings us to three times of me using this phrase.
yesterday, I said "Oh, don't be such a Silly McGoofsalot!"
The first time was an accusation: "Stop being such a Silly McGoofsalot!"
The second time might have been a very fond and loving use: "Oh, you Silly McGoofsalot!"
I know that people don't really understand why I'm calling them Silly McGoofsalots.
I don't understand either.
― aimurchie, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

Some Silly McGoofsalots have plain bellies. Some Silly McGoofsalots have stars on thars. Some talk funny and walk funny and fall down funny because they've had too many restoratives. Some silly McGoofsalots think the rhythm method is birth control. There are all sort's of Silly McGoofsalots. What kind of Silly McGoofsalot are you?
― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 17 May 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

I hope not the kind that thinks the rhythm method is adequate birth control.

There is no such thing as "extra" booze.

"Extra" = in the eye of the beholder.

But, to clarify, I should have bought booze for myself this afternoon instead of just for gifts.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

Don't ask me why, but I distinctly remember looking at the HHS handbook and seeing that it is "o'er the line and through the net."
I wonder if they've changed the "V-I-C-T-O-R-R-Y" part; the handbook spelled "victory" that way deliberately, presumably to make it fit the music. In retrospect, it seems kind of telling.
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

(From memory; please forgive me for this. It is part of being the scrivener.)

I think you would like them. Of course, I think a lot of things, many of which are untrue.
― John Justen, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

I have not! I am intrigued, tho.
My Party Shuffle playlist currently looks like this:
Janet Jackson - "Together Again" (now playing)
Underworld - "Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You"
Mariah Carey - "Didn't Mean To Turn You On"
Eminem vs The Prodigy - "Breathe Without Me"
Underworld - "Two Months Off"
Chaki - "Sherman Oaks Breakdown"
Siouxsie & the Banshees - "Into the Light"
Siouxsie & the Banshees - "Kiss Them For Me (DaBlenda remix)"
The Cure - "Hot Hot Hot!!!" (as interpreted by string quartet)
Barbara Hendricks - "L'ombre descend des cieux" from "The Pearl Fishers"
Panacea - "Stormbringer"
Shy FX - "Intro"
Happy Mondays - "Loose Fit" (12" version)
The Cure - "Another Girl, Another Planet"
(some bullshit by Donizetti that I will be skipping)
Bill Hicks - "Chicks Dig Jerks"

Yeah, I was pondering that the other day; a big part of my problem is that until recently I haven't actually been acquiring music that we didn't all already have or know.
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 19:07 (eighteen years ago)

PS: Mariah shouldn't sing Cherelle/Robert Palmer songs, in case you were wondering.
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 19:08 (eighteen years ago)

It would be silly to try to get me to send any of you music; I'm light years behind. Dan even identified "Barbie Girl," the song A. loves from Aqua, only seconds after I mentioned it. (Also, he bought more Aqua stuff off of Ebay, including a VIDEO!)
Being so out of the loop makes me sad.
That being said, Dan has already inadvertently helped me with birthday shopping for A. by saying good things about the new NIN album.

Yeah, I probably can, but I just haven't figured out how to do it yet. (I'm notoriously clueless about computer stuff; I'll see if I can get A. to help me. AGAIN.)
I will continue to take notes and look at your last.fm profiles in wonder and befuddlement. Because someday I'm going to be able to listen to stuff other than "Peter, Paul,and Mommy" again...
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

Also, has anyone here ordered from CDconnection.com? That is where A. has found the Depeche Mode singles box sets that he still doesn't have (4,5, and 6). WTF, why didn't I order one of them from Amazon when I placed an order there YESTERDAY?!
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

Steps required to listen to last.fm radio:
1. Log in to last.fm
2. Select the profile of the person of your choice.
3. Scroll down to "Play (x name goes here)'s personal radio station".
4. Sit back and enjoy. Or not, depending on who it is.

Also, ILX being covered with sex threads today makes me want to die, and makes me feel like I did in between bouts of vomiting two nights ago.
Daer ILX,
YOU ARE ALL PASTY AND WEIRD AND SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHING ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF WITH ANY PARTS OF YOU EVER SO STOP.

Jeez John, when did you get so hyper sensitive?
I'll refrain from pointing out that even REALLY OLD PEOPLE have sex.

Oops.

Ha ha Dan.
If I went somewhere and I kept seeing people from my elementary school, I'd probably run away really fast. That's crazy.

Okay John, making my desktop machine crash as retaliation for reviving half of the old sex threads was way more of a dick move. (Yes, I'm blaming you because it's easier than blaming dodgy porn sites.)

John = Instant Scapegoat. "JUST ADD PROBLEM."

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Just close your eyes, click your heels together and chant, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home..." I think you'll remember us when you wake up, John.
