Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

Huh. OK, I concede everything. Funniness of joke is RESTORED@!!!!!!

(I am going to go look at a jelly jar later.)

it's just as humid inside my apartment as it is outside. i want to die.

dude, i know how you feel. I have a relatively shady and cool apartment, but this humidity renders that particular feature null and void. Nothing to do but sit in front of a fan until time for bed, when I will retreat to the mercy of my air-conditioned bedroom.

it's the opposite of winter in every possible way. In winter, my hands shrivel and my lips crack my apartment is so dry.

Last summer my place was pretty much unlivible on 90+ days except with a fan directly on me, but earlier this summer our landlord let us know that in fact we have central air and that he just needed to throw a few switches...

Dan: and it's him bouncing up and down, nude, making his balls flap back and forth and hit him in the stomach and ass

goddamn you

haha...?

wtf

Jesse: it sounds like something i might think to do

haha?

Jesse, our gchat conversations are copyrighted material from now on. That is a very, very, VERY out of context quote that I can and will not even begin to explain right now.

That is a very, very, VERY out of context quote

so you weren't talking about some dude making his balls flap back and forth and hit him in the stomach and ass? Was it metaphorical?

ok fine

me: 4:08 PM did I tell you what he did when we went to the UP?
we stayed in a hotel room because I blew up my car
jesse: no
me: so in the morning we're showering and stuff, and I come out of the bathroom to this "clop clop clop clop" noise
jesse: um
me: and it's him bouncing up and down, nude, making his balls flap back and forth and hit him in the stomach and ass
4:09 PM not masturbating, not even touching himself, just making a stupid noise with his junk
jesse: standing?
haha
LOL
me: yeah
jesse: haha
i'm loling
me: he might have been jumping on the bed, I can't recall
jesse: i can't stop laughting out loud
in argo tea
me: because it's fucking hilarious
jesse: i know
me: and you didn't have to put it on ILX
this means war
jesse: haha
it's completely out of context
which makes it safe for you
and funny for me
4:12 PM me: SAFE FOR ME?
goddamn it
jesse: who will know
ok
me: great, amanda thinks I'm a crepe now
jesse: ta ta
me: you better straighten this out

Now that I am officially MR. TMI, I have to get some work done.

haha you and your friends are gross and flappy and easily amused

;)

Maybe the guy has spent so much time running from icy lakes to saunas that he behaves the same way in room temperature when he's on vacation.

that's not tmi, dan, that's just hilarious. You'll know it's tmi when the post ends something like this:

i just soaked my head with the hose attachment on my kitchen sink. hasn't done much for the humidity problem but at least the heat isn't bothering me so much. plus the water rolling down my back is no longer sweat.

Try the old ice bath, maybe? Coldest possible water in the tub plus every tray of ice cubes from the freezer plus a novel and a beer...?

Catch a Western bus and take a ride to 79th and back. Make sure it's a nice one and has working AC.

ok, who's got a tub i can use?

dan, i've taken trips on the cta before just to keep cool. it's not so much fun during rush hour.

ice bath sounds like emergency treatment for burn victims. Cold shower should do.

you don't put ice on burns, ice will restrict the flow of blood to the affected area. you should use cold, sterile compresses.

PWNED

kevin otm

if i have three dollars and half a pack of cigarettes i'm going to walk down to tuman's for $1.50 domestic bottles.

i have learned something useful from this pwnage

???

I'm looking for a used high-quality tambourine. Something with history, family, travels would be nice. I'm willing to pay top-dollar.

Location: Madison-East
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

four dollars and three cigarettes, close enough for me. i'll be sitting in the air conditioned glory of tuman's a.a.c. for the monday night specials.

Better drink slow!

i just went outside for the first time in about 4 hours, it feels about 15 degrees cooler out there than in here.

And he lays down the medical SMRTS, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm going home to put my AC in.

Morning.

Hi Sarah.

'Sup?

I sold that bass last night for my asking price. That was pretty cool.

Even expecting all of Michael Moore's usual antics, Sicko still depressed the hell out of me.

It's not something I want to see in the theatre unless I'm gonna sneak into another movie right afterward.

I need to buck up and call this credit card company to try to get a lower rate. Why am I so wussy???

Do it! You are obviously a wheeler-dealer! Arm yourself with facts, gird your loins with the power of your spending dollar! Fuck them, you're paying them for a service!

Tell them that if they don't give you a lower rate, you will transfer all your debt with them to another card with a lower rate. They will want to keep your debt/business because otherwise they don't get interest.

Yeah, it didn't work.

Instead, the lady kept trying to talk me into transferring money from my credit card into my checking account. HA!

WTF.

If you qualify (and from what you just said via IM, you do), you could actually get a new card and do the 0% balance transfer rate. Just be sure you're still paying it off and not buying Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi and then Prada with your new spending power.

The way to do it is to go to the Century and see Sicko and then see Once.

I thought the first 30 mins of Sicko was very depressing -- the way it is whenever you hear stories about uninsured people who need extensive medical care. But I also thought that it made so many good points, one of the main ones being that in any other country in the Western world the idea of paying for medical care is as foreign as the idea of a government charging tuition for its schools. Also, it really drove home that basic idea that if a government runs the hospitals it is a social service, with wellness as the yardstick, whereas insurance companies to not base their success on wellness.

Wow. The tags on my music are FUCKED. That's what you get when you steal from a 2nd rate torrent site, I guess? They're so bad that I'm just going to live with them.
