Real Columbus Day is Wednesday, but it was moved because he didn't want to sail on Yom Kippur.

i then ate a mayonnaise sandwich (practically) which made me feel queasy.

thank god someone is posting to the DENVER thread who's not me!!

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:11 (nineteen years ago) link

hey pickles.. you ready for your turkey dinner?

me and parents were discussing how much it would disturb you if we got a thanksgiving meal IN A BOX

its almost tempting!!

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:14 (nineteen years ago) link

How did I get branded the food snob of the fam?

Mom gets so stressed out about MEALS when I'm around. I must criticize too much.

not sure about pickles (Jacqui Pickles), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:17 (nineteen years ago) link

you are like A FOOD CRITIC, apparently

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I just don't want my food from a box, jeez. Is that so much to ask? For priding herself on having no emotions, Mom sure is sensitive about her COOKING.

I can't wait to chug some bazookas at Romas! Annnnd... man, what else will be going on? We gonna catch the new HP? Is that gay cowboy movie gonna be out?

not sure about pickles (Jacqui Pickles), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:24 (nineteen years ago) link

oooo romas!!!! definitely hp. also, maybe, dancing with andrew.

food in boxes is ok with me.

Hello Wrights. I hope you enjoy your Colorado Thanksgiving. I'm going to have a Connecticut Thanksgiving. In Connecticut. (As opposed to having a Connecticut Thanksgiving in Colorado.)

But before I fly east, I will see the HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS movie at the Starz theatre as part of the Denver Film Festival, and afterwards Peter Stampfel will perform. I saw Weber & Stampfel play a couple of times in the early '80s, once at Folk City and once at the Mudd Club (these were in some city to the east of Denver by a good bit). I gave Stampfel a copy of my band's demo tape.

i am still digging out of my snow grave. i was in town and those guys who go around protesting construction sites that don't use union labor need to get some new slogans to shout 'no justice, no peace' is tired. most everyone who works downtown looks miserable to me. but i was carrying an axe.

I would like to come to Denver one day but geographically the chances are slim.

my parents are visiting denver next week. my dad will only want to golf

This was at least the second opportunity on this thread for a feckless Brit to pipe up with Things To Do In Denver With Your Dad hyuk-hyuk and I can't let it pass now.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 15:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i never saw that movie!(a DAD in Scotland piped up about that movie as well).

AND, I wish you would come to Denver.

gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I had a relative complain recently about Denver's homeless population.

A.) Of all the things I've heard negative about Denver, it's always been "bland", "too far away from everything", "expensive", etc. I hadn't heard complaints about the transient population, though.

B.) I still don't get complaints about homeless people. You may get an occassional aggressive dude, just like you may get the occassional someone at the table next to yours incessantly jabbering into his cellphone. Besides that, they're just people who have a lot more problems than you do.

C.) Even if I were to bitch about homeless people, how could I possibly start with Denver? Those hobo's riding unicycles down the avenues of Berkeley, now THERE are some people I can roll my eyes at.

I never saw the movie either, and my impression was that it fared poorly at the box office, and left little mark on the popular culture. Yet people from far off places (Denmark, e.g) reference it to me. I guess it's what we have. That, Columbine and Elway.

Hunter (Hunter), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:54 (eighteen years ago) link

you've got the tattered cover too

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to Denver last winter, about a decade since I'd last been there, and it was WAY MORE GIGANTICKER than before. You guys have probably noticed that. I seemed to remember that once upon a time one drove from Denver to the mountains, whereas this time it was more like we drove through Denver and were in the mountains before we even finished.

nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, it's grown a lot. since the DYNASTY days !

I had to book to Estes Park for a wedding, Mandee! But if I ever get a chance to properly revisit Colorado, I will totally (hahaha) sniff you out.

homosexual II, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

ha, i don't know, but i hope altitude sickness is like chicken pox? after my last trip i should be immune for life.

Jordan, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 16:14 (sixteen years ago) link

just drink a ton of water and you should be fine!!

homosexual II, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Jordan, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 16:50 (sixteen years ago) link

things i did in denver: went for a run in wash park (wow you guys sure love volleyball and dogs), went to heritage square amusement park with the family and went down the alpine slide, ate some ice cream at bonnie brae (tasty), went to some lame bars in that area (lame).

Jordan, Monday, 28 July 2008 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
