Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

Man, I really thought my new mentee was gay, but apparently I am rong and he just moved in with his girlfriend.

"mentee" made me think of manatee, which made me think of this

He could still be gay.

John, did she say if the porch is dangerous then? Did you ask if that was why?

No offense John, but I never would have signed a lease that wouldn't allow me to sit out on my back porch and relax. Thats one of life's great pleasures, really.

I say you do it anyway.

Oh, sorry, she did say that a couple people could sit back there and relax, just no fires and no loud revelry. It's not all that big, though, and the view is the el tracks (and right now, the attendant construction), so maybe it's not a big deal.

Ahh, that makes a difference. That wording made it sound as if you couldn't do more than pass through it on your way in/out.

Let's have a Quiet BBQ, it'll be like a game!

I have quiet bbqs whenever I grill dinner. It's kinda sad.

Aw, I'm going to miss Sea & Cake when they play here next month.

Worst cutesie nickname ever goes to : LOVER! I swear this lady kept calling her 3 year old daughter that. Come on, Lover, it's time to go. Let's go, Lover.
NOT GOOD

heh! i thought of that too. i also thought, "y'all would gag at the names leaf & i call each other . . ."

i think that calling one's child "lover" should be outlawed.

BEES!?!?

i think that calling one's child "lover" should be outlawed.

Nah. Having child lovers should be, though. I think it may be already.

There are just a bazillion better cutesie nicknames you could call your kid.

(none of which imply anything incestual)

The new band that is J0dy Nu3va C@t and B3n Sh@rk has a song on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thspectacles.

Sarah told me.

S@r@h

1. Lover??????

2. John, where is your new place?

3. Jordan, you seem disappointed that he's not gay.

4. Kenan, I want my belt. It is my only halfway decent leather belt, (even though it has white on one side).

haha I get a kick out of that every time

My salad! Let me tell you about it! I just put a bunch of crap from the salad bar in a tub, and it's great: romain, tomatoes, jicama, spiced pumpkin seeds, blue cheese, grilled fennel, and chick peas with Italian dressing. Yum.

Except for completeness' sake they really should have made the "e" a "3".

is that a men's nudity stool?

3. Jordan, you seem disappointed that he's not gay.

Only in my failed gaydar.

My new place is on Wolcott/Montrose, right around the corner from Glenn's Diner.

Oh. You live really really close to my friends Sheila and Eddie. They live on Wolcott on the first block north of Montrose. Their porch faces the train tracks too.

Ah, we're on the first block south of Montrose.

Bath and Body Werks is having their 5 for $15 sale on hand soaps--I have like 48 ounces of hand soap now. WARNING: avoid the Midnight Walk scent. I got some on me and now no matter how much I wash I smell like old lady perfume. It cut into my salad enjoyment.

Ooh, Office season 3 and 30 Rock dvds come out in a month.

Hey, when you guys were all up on Hurdy Gurdy Man last week, you neglected to tell me that John Bonham plays drums on that shit. I'm kind of pissed at myself for not making the connection.

I didn't know that!

I just looked up my credit report online and I was freaking out because it was completely blank, like nothing except past addresses. Then I figured out there were multiple pages and I was just looking at the first page. Ha ha.
Anyways, my credit is good, though I don't have much of a history. I've never had a real credit card either, I need to get me one of those. The report does have the wrong birthday for me though - not just the wrong day, but 1973 instead of 1979.

<Snausages> So, an E-flat, a G-flat, and a B-flat walk into a bar.
<Snausages> And the bartender says,
<Snausages> "I'm sorry, we don't serve minors."
<Myke> That struck a chord.
<Snausages> Careful with those puns, you'll get in treble.
<Myke> But they're key to my humour.
<Myke> And very noteworthy.

Hmm, well maybe not:

Contradicting an assertion in Donovan's 2005 autobiography that three of the four future Zeppelin members (Page, Jones and Bonham) played on the track "Hurdy Gurdy Man" -- John Paul Jones has stated that neither Page nor Bonham played on that track. In 2005, Jones (who arranged the track and was Musical Director for the session) identified the full line-up on that session as: Donovan - Acoustic Guitar. Alan Parker- Lead (electric) Guitar. John Paul Jones - Bass Guitar. Clem Cattini - Drums. (Cattini has concurred with Jones' recollection.)

But now it sure sounds like JB on drums to me.

lol Nick is old

I was watching Jesus Lizard clips on YouTube the other day and David Yow told a funny joke:

There are two ovaries. One ovary says to the other, "Hey, did you order any furniture?" The other ovary says, "No, I didn't order any furniture, why do you ask?" And the first ovary says, "Because two nuts are pushing an organ up the stairs."

is it funnier when he tells it?

;)

Nick, where did you access your credit report? I tried Annualcreditreport.com but their identity verification questions were hard. They were along the lines of "In 2001 you borrowed money from the College Foundation. What was the amount of this loan" or "What was the name of the lender you borrowed from to purchase a car in 1999." While it's true that if any individual were to know these facts it would most likely be me, I have no fucking clue how to answer any of them.

Apparently you can write them a letter to request info, but I have yet to get around to doing that.

I have no factual basis for my suspicions (only paranoia), but I wonder if the 3 credit reporting agencies didn't influence how difficult it would be to answer these questions so that the consumer would be forced to pay them to see their reports.

I don't know, sarah sent me some link. I had questions too, but they were weird trick questions, asking about some mortage I supposedly took out. But I just put "none of the above" and that worked. THey probably jsut did that because I don't have much of a credit history.

That's the one I gave him, Jesse.

I had the exact same fake mortgage questions, but it still didn't work.

That's funny. Trick questions!
