Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

don't hetero dudes fear the vadge in that "what is it/i don't have one/what does one do with that thing/" kind of way?

Hahahaha no. Not this one, at least.

so hott

I mean before hetero dudes ever experience one. Isn't it this special thing?

I have real problems putting feminist sensibilities to sleep, altho apparently I can kill off all the other decency and kindness sensors at a moment's notice, judging by my sense of humor and continued association with JW. But yes, I was in Seattle last week. It was...not New York. Pretty, though.

you score a wooden sword & the girls want you to show them how it works

It was...not New York.

Few places are.

I dunno... they don't actually know what to do with it, no, not even in this movie. (Well, it seems like McLovin has the best idea of all of them... or the worst.) They're virgins. They fear women, sure, but I think a virginal high school boy who is simultaneously fascinated and terrified by women falls outside the definition of "misogyny." It's more like, "boy."

what was misogynistic about superbad though? i guess if i let my feminist sensibilities take a nap it was also rather easy to do so for this movie b/c it's about high school boys. i don't expect high school boys to have a developed sense of the world yet (or of themselves). i also watched it & thought that how seth & evan interacted is probably how a lot of high school boys act around each other.

also: who is JW?

Do women fear the wooden sword? No, they want to know how it works. Beware the silver sword, though. And the magic sword? TAKE FUCKING COVER

also again: i missed you, laurel. i revived the sewing thread & missed you there too.

i just realized what an awful example the wooden sword is. thank you, chicago.

what if i were to sub WS with slingshot?

To appease your sense of analogy and my sense of Zelda, go with boomerang.

Nick was playing some PS2 game for a while in which the lead male had to get the princess to come with him everywhere, but she apparently had problems and would just wander off and he'd have to go find her and drag her hand to get her to come along.

Ico?

Yes! Think so!

Hah, I was only making Zelda joeks, don't mind me.

I dunno, I haven't seen the movie, but when I was the age that I imagine the lead characters being I had pretty much gotten over most of the severe awkwardness and insanity that you guys describe. I credit lots of girl friends (both platonic and not), my upbringing, and my already marginalized social status for this. Also, and this may not make much sense, but my extended international jaunt to Australia and New Zealand incited a bit of quick growing up for me, I think.

xpost: video games are going to reveal a treasure trove of this kind of stuff

Thank you, Kelsey, I missed me too. And JW is he of the noize bored.

Video games are not good social barometers.

I'm with Dan re girl friends growing up, maybe even more so. I'm trying to think of if I even bonded with guys in high school.

i don't know how to talk out what's in my head today.

I didn't mean to imply that dudes are JUST like evan & seth were in the movie in real life or anything.

Of course not!

Yeah, most of my friends in high school were girls as well. Not that I didn't have any male friends (though a few of them were guys I met through theatre, and you know what that means lol), but I remember a couple of birthday parties junior and senior year when I was the only guy there.

OK, I have some memory of riding in someone's minivan in a parking lot in the middle of the night as the other guys took turns climbing on top and riding as the van did donuts in a parking lot, so I guess I did bond with guys.

But then I've got another memory of riding in a minivan with a bunch of girls singing along with Amy Grant.

<i>climbing on top and riding </i>

On the roof of the van, people, on the roof!

Ghost-riding the whip, MN style.

I did a lot of donuts too.

I never did donuts.
My grandmother made homemade donuts though, which were probably almost as dangerous to my health.

I hung out with guys a lot too & liked that they seemed a bit more crass and easy-going than a lot of my female friends. rarely did they discuss women with me around but the few times they did i felt like i was privy to a secret window into the World of the Sexes or something.

i have had homemade donuts maybe twice in my life & if they always tasted like that i would be a donut person for sure!

Damn it, why am I getting a sore throat?

i've had one for the last week, maybe you caught it from me?

dan, i've been sneezing violently all day. I think the dampness is having its way with us.

I had one for the last week, then I spent about 18 hours yesterday sleeping and now I am better (knock on wood).

Yeah, loading my drums in and out in the pouring rain just about killed me.

I carried groceries hom in the rain yesterday, and was nasty soaked by the time I got home.

ha-HA! I spread my vile crud over ILX. FI-nally I am feeling better today. So much better that I'm pretty sure I no longer require sleep--been up since 6 AM, worked 8-4 and then 4:30-10:30 and then walked a long way getting around 2--TWO!--CTA detours (I went from downtown to Chicago Ave to pay my ComEd bill and found that Red Line was running above ground and the 36 Bus was way detoured--so I walked to Clark and Division to catch it.)

Not sleepy. Nope.

Crazy chopstix chef pulled me aside today and asked for my help in deposing the GM-- "She used to be nice person, but she got power and now her head too big! This have to change, and we fix it, but I need your help."

I have just started reading this
and already it seems great.

Also I added this to my queue. Story of two rural Mississippi gay bars.

perfume is very good. Yes.

I hear my neighbors! I haven't seen or heard them in more than a month. They were definitely not around since July 4. Shit. I was kind of hoping they were gone so I could get their apartment and have a balcony and private entrance. OH THE THINGS I COULD ACCOMPLISH IF I HAD A BALCONY/PORCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you hear them... in that bad way?

Oh, no. Not the living-room-sex way. I just heard them in the hallway, scurrying.

I have decided that I actually do require sleep. Now would be a good time for that. :(

How does one make a sleepy emoticon?

I just ate a banana. I was inspired yesterday by the "Oh no uh oh hey oh" part of the thread. It made me think of DAY-O from the banana boat song, which of course made me think of bananas.

Hi.

That's deep.

It's too early to discuss deep bananas.

Jorrrdddaaannn, so do you think you can come here my party weekend after all? huh huh huh?

I want to! But I think I won't know until I move the weekend/week before and see how exhausted I am. :(

made me think of DAY-O

Another potentially great FFs cover. Super-fast.
