Although apparently, drinking to the point of passing out at my office Christmas party helped rather than hindered my contract renewal. <3 the scots.

Are you. . . sleeping in the middle of the club?

you do look more serene than yr typical passed-out drunk. i would definitely hire someone who could handle their excesses so nimbly.

also ... kilts!

(xxxpost) you look like you're about to fall off that chair...

pre-show drinking

No chair-falling off thankfully, although apparently I was like that for about three hours which would explain why I can remember so little of the party. Also, to contexualise, I had been awake since 330am that day, the CEO had bought 270 big bottles of vodka for 160 people, on top of a standard full bar, and it was being drunk out of an ice sculpture.

GUY IN HAT LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU

Hahahahahaha, no. Just that RS has left ILX for good or so he says.

You tell that motherfucker if he has beef with me he can take it to The Church

I don't think he has beef with anyone! He said it was just too much of a time suck and needed a hiatus or something like that.

This is what my gingerbread edifice looked like for xmas:

http://i41.tinypic.com/v2s212.jpg
http://i39.tinypic.com/2wbw68h.jpg

My gf's family has a huge gingerbread house competition every year. I'm horrible with crafty things like that, so that was actually the best one I've ever made. Too bad my entire gf's family is like Bob Vila, because every year I lose to stuff like this (made by her brother):

http://i42.tinypic.com/zlz2o1.jpg

That's a replica of Ted Drewes in St. Louis, one of the true Legends of America.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2vazcit.jpg

ZS, yours is way better than her brother's! You wuz robbed.

That's nice of you to say. :) But seriously, her brother's was so detailed that you could look inside of it and see the ice cream maker, refrigerator, everything. I think it literally included a kitchen sink. Besides, I didn't just finish below his Ted Drewes. I think I ended up in a distant 6th place or something. I have pictures of everyone else's creations (giant Disney castle, awesome White House with UFO hovering above and blasting it with laser, lighthouse on an island with incredibly realistic ocean waves crashing into rocks, and so on), but I would end up derailing this thread.

wtf wow

hey max is the girl in the back your gf? if so, good job.

who are these people that have time to make these gingerbread houses?!

i guess they are probably not posting on internet message boards, huh.

god it is so gross when ppl say "good job" in that context

yeah it is a little gross

awesome White House with UFO hovering above and blasting it with laser!!!!!!!!!

show us the pics z s

you could look inside of it and see the ice cream maker, refrigerator, everything. I think it literally included a kitchen sink

Oh. OK, you probably wuzn't robbed after all, then :)

or make a separate thread (1p3?!)

But yeh, fuck derailing the thread. Bring on gingerbread UFO action.

Actually there has been some debate about the time factor. The competition is 5 years old, and I've been there for the last 4. When they first started, they were really fun, one night affairs. We'd have xmas dinner at around 5pm, then we'd get crunked and make gingerbread edifices until midnight or so. It was awesome. Then, things got more complicated. Gradually, people started to build larger creations and spent way more time on it. It turned into a two day competition, and then this year most of the winners spent the better part of 3 full days on it (seriously). This year, everyone was using power tools, myself included.

After this year's competition, we're considering going back to a one night format again. This year my gf and I drove 14 hours to St. Louis, spent most of our time either making gingerbread houses or watching others do so, and then drove back to New York. It really dominated everything.

Alright, pictures forthcoming. Actually, I only need to post 5 pictures or so.

This was an impressive first year entry from our friend Ed. Guess the building!

http://i40.tinypic.com/156cm6h.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/fenebs.jpg

This was a (I thought) really cool modernist building from family friend Kevin:

http://i42.tinypic.com/287g29g.jpg

Every year, her mom's side of the family comes and votes on everyone's entries. It's like a family reunion every year, with about 60 people voting. It's a blind vote, meaning that no one's names are on there, just a number. Predictably, no one over the age of 40 liked this one AT ALL.

i have been to the inedible version of this building.
creative gingerbread christmas sounds good to me, but maybe that's the grass being greener. it seems like a retreat or something though, like a teambuilding weekend for the family. isn't it a swedish thing?

Her dad's lighthouse:

http://i42.tinypic.com/wul3xz.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/2wp582p.jpg

yeah this reminds me of how i bought this puzzle for my family to do together but then realized i didn't have a gift for my weird aunt so i gave it to her thinking she'd be like 'ok let's all do puzzle together now!' but she instead said 'oh this is great! i love doing puzzles!' and put it down and we never did the puzzle and i was sad.

xpost

Her mom's entry. This picture needs a soda can or something in it to indicate the scale. It was over 2 feet tall.

http://i40.tinypic.com/160a3k3.jpg

the guess the building is the parthenon, no?

ha i love that castle's eyes & tongue

pantheon, right?

Her entire family got all butthurt over this next one, on my behalf. There is an unwritten rule that all contestants follow, which is that you don't copy someone else's idea, and you try not to duplicate ideas that have been done in past years. Everyone intuitively follows the rule. This year, 2 little kids showed up, and they saw someone doing a White House, and they were all like "oh crap, we were going to do a White House. Guess we'll have to do something else", without anyone even saying anything to them.

Well, THIS GUY shows up to the party, someone's godfather, and he does the exact opposite. He looked at my bridge for awhile, and then he said something like "I was going to do something else, but I think I'll do a bridge instead!" Then he made a bridge that looked a lot like mine. And of course, he did a better job of it. He ended up winning some sort of award for it.

http://i41.tinypic.com/t5kcn7.jpg

He still paid the cost, though. After he left, everyone was like "what a fucking asshole"

Pantheon, yep

if you want to get all technical with spelling and not confusing it with something in greece then I suppose so.

sorry!, i kinda expected it was a mix up. correctly identifying the building was the only consolation against not having had quite as creative a christmas as all z s' family, building delicious miniature civilisations. did you get all godzilla before you ate them?

Last one.

**********END OF TEMPORARY THREAD DERAILMENT**************
**********YOU DON'T HAVE TO AVERT YR EYEZ ANYMORE************

OK, that last one is AWESOME. I love it. What was the laser in its unanimated form?

(Not that the others aren't also awesome. I mean, the whole thing is MAD and CRAZY but also WONDERFUL.)

You know, I'm not even sure. I have a vague memory of a few fat pretzel sticks bundled together and then coated in icing, but I'm not sure. One rule is that everything has be edible, but when her mom makes the icing, it's so thick that it works as glue.

Oh right because hell is such a serious topic around here. My bad.

I probably am going to hell, after the night before that photo was taken. I was so hungover that I don't think I finished that cigarette I'm holding.

I'm looking forward to hell, all my friends will be there. And Laurel will be dressed in green.

Apparently it's drunk.

Sorry! I think it had something to do with keeping one corner out of the cat's reach.

no nood to say sorry, just photoshop it straight and re-post :)

You photoshop it straight, you're the one it's bothering. I can't even see it from where I'm sitting and anyway I have enough Prosecco not to care.

alright, i was only joking :-/

laurel you look straight beautiful

Laurel I love your dress.

i actually meant to type 'straight up beautiful' but you get it

and, the maximum hard that ZS obtains given its constraint is 1.

Aw thanks, girls. I was feeling bad about my weight before Christmas and thinking, "God all those photos look swollen and that dress is a sack", but even I can't deny the color is inherently cheering. And by the third or fourth glass of Prosecco, I didn't care about the blinds at all!

you look gorgeous, and well-accessorized, Laurel!

I'm a New York City "young professional" (please kill me). What did you expect, some 400 lb sweaty dude with a ratty, 1990s Neon Evangelion t-shirt?

Put the pic up again, burt. I missed it.

try to get your soiled underwear canopy into the frame if possible as well.

the reason I don't leave it up too long is because I like having the freedom to say bizarre funny shit, and there may be a time when I have to keep my public persona under wraps ;_;

I promise not to photoshop soiled undies on yr head, burt.

8)

I also promise.

*fingers crossed behind the back*

8(

It's going to be tough not to draw on the resources of my soiled undies image collection, but I will show some restraint.

I'm sure I"ll be fine, but even when I applied for normal jobs, every single thing I had a presence on the internet got an abnormally extra few dozen hits

(and of course never got any of those jobs ;_; )

I am actually quite surprised to learn that yr real name is burt stanton.

Yeah, that's true.

Just think of the possibilities, Burt, if you changed your ILX username to something that didn't have your actual name in it. The sky's the limit...

you guys are fuckin' retarded.

lolz

this is like an unfunny scene in a contemporary update of a mid-90s style stoner comedy

I guess I expected, like a Unabomber beard or something, but I guess beards are too hip these days for the genuine misanthrope to wear one.

The shock is, perhaps, that you could be considered actually fairly conventionally attractive. From the amount that you externalise your own self loathing onto other people and youth cultures in general, I was expecting you to look like, well, Dom P or something.

they're all just jokes; I live in North Brooklyn. All my friends are graphic designers. I drink PBR. My sexual popularity is also a joke. You think girls are lining up to get with a dude who's favorite hobby is translating Hellenistic Ancient Greek literature?

I mean, girls are nice to me, but that doesn't and shouldn't always equate to BoiIiNG

feeling like an alienated weirdo, that's true though. American culture = the businessman shark. There ain't no love for ideas for the ideas. That's for those sissy Frenchmen

Ha ha ha, I just realised that's the most backhanded compliment I've ever given anyone. I mean, I was gonna GIS Slavoj Zizek or something.

In my limited experience, as a girl, lack of "lining up to get with a dude" has very little to do with esoteric hobbies (which quite a few women would actually find a turn on) and more to do with attitude and personality. But hey, this is a total derailment.

...but hey, the day that anyone takes romantic advice from me is the day that they really should just go out and jump off a bridge. ha ha.

That was self-deprecating humor. I thought you Brits liked that shit

PS i'm a fender jazz man myself :-(

fender jazz never a good look

weird face sorry

Nah, that's the face of a bass player looking at his/her bandmates and thinking "What the fuck are they doing over there?"

Usually in the fifth bar of a four-bar guitar solo.

I do take issue with the fender jazz put-downs.

xp i dont know whether to defend the jazz or hit on roxymuzak

both are pretty pointless so

What?
how can this not look good?

i played a fender jazz TEN YEARS AGO

condescension not a good look either btw

OU? A&M? Be more specific, goddamnit!

xp

"the other team" = "the lesbian team"..................................................................

i'm sorry, will try again!

Srlsy, this is the best photo taken of me in the past two years and it's all because of the fender jazzzzzz.

vox, ampeg, deville?

that's just like us!

no one on the corner has swagger like yall

pp u mad stylin on your band mates

hes right you know pp

good job matchin ur outfit to ur guitar

brown jacket + black tie = underrated combo, has to be the right brown tho

basses just look cooler imo

theyre just so huge

the way they balance the body is so cool

^have thought this since i first saw paul mcC when i was age 6

not_goodwin tbh i am feeling froggy as hell today, but i never really take kindly to dudes telling me shit about a bass, really

Fuck a dude telling shit about a bass.

thank u lib

They have four strings! Didja know that?!!??

XD @ all yall

Since this is kind of WDYBLL here is mine:

i don't know whether to defend the j-bass or hit on libcrypt's bass.

i never really take kindly to dudes telling me shit about a bass, really

I'm sure it pushed your buttons to be told "you'll learn" -- which is fair enough, it was condescending -- but I wouldn't make a habit of saying things like "fender jazz never a good look", either.

hey it can't be 1997 forever pal

i didnt say it was never a good sound

"there was a time"

i mean gtfo the j bass's dick yall, everyone knows its a classic but its like not everyone wears chuck taylors you know

1997, really? When I think of the Jazz, I think of the seventies.

FWIW, I don't play a Jazz (I find it awkward and it's not really the sound I'm after), but there are shitloads of fine musicians who did and who looked great doing it -- way too many, on both counts, to make a glib comment about it.

well hush my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the jazz was my very first bass and i loved it then

however all this hagiography is kinda making me want to actually hate it tbh

the jazz was my very first bass and i loved it then

Why the "never a good look" comment, then? Or is this just a drunken chip-on-your-shoulder kind of thing?

itt captain save-a-Jbasses

uh kind of a joke? get over it imo?

didnt think there could be anything more boring than a bunch of internet nerds complimenting each others photos but i guess i was wrong

clearly u havent seen any number of excelsior threads

i am a bass player and my bass what i love is mad gay so w/e

can we call the february wdyll thread "i like your face but hate your bass?"

tbh you pushed my buttons with the i never really take kindly to dudes telling me shit about a bass line. I recently had to deal with a musician who was copping that attitude all the time. She was totally clueless, and was completely wrecking the whole thing, but if anyone tried to help her out, she would become enraged and say that dudes were trying to sabotage her because she was a woman. It was seriously psychotic, Marissa-level shit.

But that's not your fault and no doubt you've had to deal with loads of condescending dudes, etc.

no its not

and yeah i have

quit while you are behind xpost heh

thanks for equating me with some clueless broad you met the other day or whatever though

You're welcome. I'm sure you and she can have long and thoughtful conversations about how hard your lives are.

cool it, chuckles

all it takes is one (1) stfu to stop looking like an asshole

haha

guys can we just all stop arguing and agree that my bass which is a pbass "lyte" in "lipstick red" makes me more womanly and feeble than any other possible bass and just get on with it?

i am a uniter not a divider.

who even gives a shit besides butthurt j-bass owners upthread

excepting pp who understands what joeks are

hahaha what is great about this is that i did not bother to load the 8 bagazillion messages in the middle which are apparently also all about the bass controversy srsly tho dudes my bass it came with a lady style vagina so evryone is safe

you play the slant 6 bass lol

hahahahahaaaaaa

the worst thing about Canada is having to go to two different places for beer and candy :(

oh, mars bar :(

not eaten a mars bar for years, I think I would get higher off a mars bar than a line of cocaine

the worst thing about Canada Pennsylvania is having to go to two different places for beer and candy :(

i'm still sort of shocked that you can buy hard liquor from the supermarket/corner store.

(in the US, i mean)

not in rhode island! alas

the Penn beer laws are bizarre imo

who eats beer/candy at same time? seriously two of the nicest things in the world but a nasty mix.

They don't sell candy in the liquor store?

i'm still sort of shocked that you can buy hard liquor from the supermarket/corner store.

HUGE variations from state to state, sorry to say.

in nz, supermarkets and corner stores etc can only sell beer/wine/cider/etc. only specified 'liquor stores' can sell hard liquor (nz liquor stores are diff from american - they literally only sell liquour, maybe some chips and mixers, but that's it. and there isn't one on every street). alcohol can't be sold between 12-midnight and 7am. alcohol can't be sold on good friday or xmas day.

shocked also to find out recently good friday is not a big public holiday here - everything closes in nz (think it's illegal for retail stores to open without a special license, and bars have to close)

oh well the reason for that is--our president is a muslim

i will cry bitter tears the day i leave california because i like 24 hr access to hard booze

I'm guessing London has that but I drink mostly beer unless drugs are involved.

east coast liquor laws = might as well vote the Nazis in and be done with it

liquor stores are open on sundays in nyc now tho, right?

yah they have to close one day a week but each gets to pick its own

to each his own

to each his own, booze away

live and let booze

In Victoria you can only buy alcohol from alcohol shops and pubs/bars. None of this corner shop glory ;_;

(we are all about PROTECTING THE CHILDREN here)

weirdest thing in cali is how booze is also for sale in drug stores and i notice that the prices are usually pretty good but something about buying liquor from a drug store screams "wino" whereas hitting up the local ralph's at 3am for bourbon seems much more acceptable : /

not that i really need the convenience these days, but there was something so comforting when i lived across the bridge from Louisiana where you could get liquor, beer & wine 24 hours a day, in groceries, drug stores, gas stations, etc.

In Victoria you can only buy alcohol from alcohol shops and pubs/bars. None of this corner shop glory ;_;

Tru but we have 24-hour bottle shops and 3am pub closing and DRIVE THRU liquor which always struck me as hilarious. Esp because of the drivethru near my house, attached to the Dick Whittington pub.

Bottle shop is called Dick Liquor.

haha louisiana had drive-thru daiquiri bars. i guess since it had a styrofoam top it wasn't *technically* an open container...

but i think you could also get beers and shots to go, iirc. none of may be the case presently.

*styrofoam cup w/ top

the worst thing about Canada Canada-outside-Quebec is having to go to two different places for beer and candy :(

which i say while typing on a bilingual keyboard that doesn't exactly make / and [ easy to type. but beer, chips and candy in the same place and right around like every corner makes it all ok!

Dick Liquor ftw, not to mention the Dick Bar

Dick Whittington

^ wtf

Califonia has some of the laxer liquor laws in the country. Liquor stores in Washington are basically like NZ.

Oh, and in Washington, all liquor stores are owned by the state.

I hate Washington state liquor stores so much. I miss buying booze anywhere until 2am in Michigan.

As a native Washingtonian, going to SF and seeing hard liquor in every corner store and in supermarkets was an eye-opener for me.

My mum used to live in a "dry" county in NC; she had to hit a neighbor county's ABC store for booze.

I'm in a dry county. It SUCKS!!

sucks you dry! (sorry...)

the worst thing about Canada Canada-outside-Quebec-and-Newfoundland is having to go to two different places for beer and candy :)

yeah but then you have to be in Quebec or Newfoundland when you could, you know, be in Toronto :D

hey now

i will cry bitter tears the day i leave california because i like 24 hr access to hard booze

Actually you're locked out here from 2am-6am for all alcohol, unless you're talking about your liquor cabinet.

wow, i thought that was just bars! i guess i have purchased just under the wire a few times. i suppose this fact will make leaving easier....

i remember in rochester the liqour stores had to be closed 1 day/wk but i feel like in nyc that is not the case? pretty sure i've hit up my local one on every day of the week (the odds make it seem inevitable at this point).

i remember back in 83-84 in nyc when i worked at a supermarket that i would occasionally forget about the no sales of beer before noon on a sunday and the manager would have to run over and stop me before i finished ringing the stuff up. i'm curious if this happens out here in california in the middle of the night because people at the register usually aren't all that attentive but the bars are extremely hardcore about the 2am cutoff (in reality, like 1:30)

i would be willing to swear ive bought beer at 7-11 in LA at 3 or 4 am before

i guess i was BREAKING THE LAW

nz bars generally open till 3am, with a significant amount staying open till 6am

i once tried to buy beer in roch at like 11am... i was just doing a normal grocery run and had no idea you couldn't buy before 12. that was annoying.

nyc bars are open til 4, which is great, and also not great.

tell me more about washington's liquor store situation? how plentiful are the state stores? do you have to go way out of your way to buy booze?

still boggles me that sc lets you buy wine in a supermarket, but ny does not.

yeah, max, i'm thinking a lot of clerks are like, "why am i going to enforce this shit for $7/hr?"

Wot venue is?

tell me more about washington's liquor store situation? how plentiful are the state stores? do you have to go way out of your way to buy booze?

My small town (with a rather large university) has exactly one liquor store; over the border in Idaho there are two in a comparably sized town. I can buy beer and wine anywhere but liquor only at this one store and only until 7pm. It's not a major hassle but is annoying, as previously I lived in Michigan where pretty much any store can sell booze.
