SO HUNGRY YOU GUYS!
Jordan, I eat really fast, too. I think it means we are evolutionarily superior.
I love movie snacks in part because my mom would never let my sisters and me get them growing up. lately I have a real partiality to getting a hot dog at movie theaters. is that gross?
I have never actually snuck booze into a theater, but it seems like a good idea.

but I am sympathetic to Amanda's point. every time I've been to the Brew and View the second movie is inaudible because of drunken yahoos.
― horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link
drunks with a sense of shame and civics are fine with me, though.
I would expect as much at the Brew and View, because that's what it is. But to hear cans opening and falling on the floor at a regular movie theater irritates me. At least have the decorum to bring a quiet flask!

What the fuck is sad about sneaking booze into a movie?
alright alright, christ, i take it back. I was thinking more of what eric was talking about, like having a half pint of something strong in your jacket to keep you from feeling sick. That's all I meant by "sad."
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link
I guess when I think of "booze" I'm not thinking of beer or wine or anything but the hard stuff.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link
Uh I have never heard of anyone sneaking alcohol anywhere for that reason, Kenan. Maybe I've been hanging out with the wrong/right crowd?

Jesse: You inspired me, and I bought a watch today. It is this:
http://www.swissarmy.com//images/ProductCatalog/sa/sa_24656_sol_a03.jpg
The band is actually leather wrapped in cloth, for maximum durability. I figure, I'm not buying another watch for a long, long while. It's not like shoes or something.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link
There is a dude at work with a nerd watch. It's in binary or something. What kind of asshole wears a watch that no one else can read?
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link
Wait, why in the WORLD would you wear a watch for other people to read?? It's like the most basic thing about a watch that it's turned to face you when you hold your arm up. If it was for other people, it would be upside-down. Or something! If you want to know the time from someone, YOU ASK THEM.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link
I guess I was thinking of when you ask someone for the time, and they hold out their watch for you to see. Which I guess is kind of rude anyway? I don't know, I haven't worn a watch since high school.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link
ok, anyway...
thanks to jesse for the "buy a watch" idea and jeff for the big-ups of the swiss army brand... I am very happy with my purchase. I believe I got something attractive-yet-practical enough for any occasion.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link
heh... there's a thread somewhere where I go off on how stupid it is to have a watch. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link
The real reason to have one is that it's a classic accessory. And a handsome one.
I don't like accessories. I tried wearing a watch for a couple of days in like 6th grade, but I couldn't get used to feeling something on my wrist. I wonder how I'd do with a wedding band.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Cell phones are fine, but it's like the difference between a pocket watch and a wrist watch. Except that the cell phone isn't as aesthetically pleasing as a nice pocket watch.
Even so, a watch is more of a wrist accessory for me. A functional one.
My ex-bf used to wear his non-functioning watch when he would go out or dress up.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link
I have to wear a watch because I'm really anal about time.
― n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link
I loooooove accessories (right this sec I am wearing two giant plastic Jane Jetson-style bangle bracelets so big I can barely type with them on) but watches always seem to stop within a few weeks of my receiving them. And god knows I never get around to buying new batteries.

it's about time you were anal!

ignore me. I don't even know what that means.

So sleepy.

SO FUCKING SLEEPY!!!
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link
You seem pretty angry about it.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link
And, you know, excited.
I think I'm going to get pwned in high school trivia tonight.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link
I think I'm getting pwned in a coast-to-coast break up for no reason that I can apprehend. Very confusing.

Kind of like that, yes.

"high school trivia"?
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link
so sweeeeepy ;__;
hey! question!
How?
How do I tab BACKWARDS through fields in a document?
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link
shift tab
― Jeff, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link
I didn't know that myself. Hm.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link
aw, Laurel. that sounds sad.
― horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link
Thanks. Muy helpful.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link
Jaymc, it's just normal bar trivia except the theme is stuff you learned in high school (I think I mentioned our team is the "McKinley High N0rsemen").
Shift + tab is key.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link
I thought it was going to be like, match the high school with the TV show:
1. Bayside 2. Capeside 3. Harbor
a. Dawson's Creek b. Saved by the Bell c. The OC
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:28 (seventeen years ago) link
If it were all questions like that, I might do okay.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:28 (seventeen years ago) link
Sounds like "Are You Smarter than A High School Student"
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link
I am almost positive that I am not as smart as I was in high school.
But luckily there will not be any real high school students there who have thought about this stuff recently, just us 20 - 30 something slackers.

People, places, science, odds and ends, and things you should've learned in school.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link
That's one Madison-y thing I've never done, is go to a taping of that show.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link
Now this seems like quality theater to me.

Studying for the GRE has made it painfully obvious that I'm not as smart as I was in high school. I used to be awesome at math, now I am miserable.

Hi. Could someone please start a new Chi thread? I want to start fresh. This one is loooonnnggg.
Nick, stop being silly. You just need to rememorize the formulas.
