Stupid slow loading bullshit.

hrm do you guys use pacbell or comacast in SF?

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

ugh comcast

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

I use SBC. Cable is to fucking expensive.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:07 (twenty years ago)

dsl for me is 49.95 anyways, so think of switching.

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

thinking, sorry

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

My gf pays the huge cable bill. (Freeloader am me)

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

SBC DSL is $26.95 or so right now, plus $5 in goofy ass fees of course.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:11 (twenty years ago)

Our system indicates that you already have DSL Internet service installed on this phone line, or you have already placed an order.

I guess I need to tell them not to charge me the 49.99 :)

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh. *puts down gin* I use pacbell DSL until they boost the price.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)

I have had it since the start, maybe it just involves switching the name to my gf's from mine to get the cheapy version. I'm still waiting for them to cancel my account for download 100 gigs a month or more though.

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:17 (twenty years ago)

Just borrow your neighbor's open WiFi connection.

Unless you're my neighbor.

― mikef (mfleming), Thursday, 3 February 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

Hello, I am stopping by briefly to mention that s1ocki is in town (or on his way) as of today and I'll maybe be seeing him tonight or tomorrow evening and definitely Saturday for his movie screening if anyone wants to meet up.

Bye!

they have internet access in jail now?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

i use comcast btw since I also have digital cable and it's only $45 a month although they fucked up my bill for months. I had the @home service years ago, switched to DSL when they went down, but DSL never worked very well for me, dropped connections all the time (this might have been my router, don't know). Anyway both options are more expensive than they should be.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

i use SBC DSL @ $26.95, they have a faster DSL service now for $34.95.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

It's obv not unlimited.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

this price goes up after a period of time though (the SBC price); maybe they give you a full year these days.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

so i don't get it, did adam get scolded for his internet activity?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

he hates you all

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

it was all that scotland talk

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

I think we signed on for a year at the $26.95 introductory rate.

xpost

He must have 'cause his posting rate has dived precipitously over the last three days.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

He told me in an e-mail that he is just trying to cut back.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 3 February 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

How admirable.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

hi guys! san francisco is nice!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 02:12 (twenty years ago)

for some weird reason i can't use apple's mail program on the wireless in the hostel though. i can get but not send! FREAKY DEAKY

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

are you going to Nickie's to this grime thing? I believe adam and alex are already there. I will be leaving berkeley, uh, at some point.

― kyle (akmonday), Sunday, 6 February 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

i did not go there. i went to a festival party and got drunk and stuff.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

s1ocki, I got both yr messages and tried calling you back but it isn't working (because it's a payphone?)! I have got some stuff to do for my class today (editing!) at home but maybe I can catch up with you later.

If not...what are your plans for tomorrow late afternoon/early evening?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

Adam, did you enjoy the show (after you left I got KK to play "POW" his DJ partner had a copy)?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

I loved it! Oh no Pow! :(

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

Haha you got a song DEDICATED to you! YOU should love it!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 21:00 (twenty years ago)

I seriously hope they will do a monthly thing though. That would make me soooooo happy!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

I am sad we had to leave a little early. I will definitely go back every month for as long as it is on.

and yeah, that was pretty cool, the DJ bigging me up. That guy will go far.

Seriously though, I will never, ever eat a burrito before dancing again. I'd explain why, but it's just gross.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I was actually feelin' kind bloated by the end myself. We stayed until the end of Kameleon's set and said our goodbyes and then headed home and were tucked in before 2am. I am clearly not as young as I used to be.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

fuck you all for finding parking!

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I couldn't believe that. You guys were looking forever! That's crazy talk!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

45 minutes of circling. then we finally just sat at the end of the street and waited for someone to pull out, and then about six cop cars pulled up right in front of us and arrested some guy, so we decided to leave. parking around there is always terrible but that was pretty ridiculous. if I go next time I'm making adam drive me.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Sarah drove me home. I was zoned out on a mixture of beer and caffeine and cold medicine and I kept belching up burrito grease.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

We obv parked much much earlier. Adam had amazing parking karma though. Got a spot right between the restaurant and the club.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

tomorrow could be cool adam!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Okay, well I was maybe thinking of getting something to eat (sushi was mentioned) and then adjourning to a local ale house. Ppl feel free to throw up suggestions. Is there anywhere suitable near EZ5 (I think gygax said upthreadf that the answer is no)? I still like that place!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

after a totally weird "SF is a small town" experience yesterday I had yet another just now - the Albino guy that always goes to the same shows as me and Alex was in my yoga class!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

!!! Did you talk to him (say YES!)?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

Near EZ5? No, I don't think so. There's good sushi near my place though (Midori Mushi and uh the other place on Market btw Guerrero and Valencia. . . I forget the name.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

yoga!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:15 (twenty years ago)

hey guys can i ask another sf question? i need to replace my headphones and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for electronics shopping, are there any stores/neighbourhoods where i might get a good deal? chinatown?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

The reasons to visit Chinatown only seem to grow with time. (I don't know anywhere specific, also Japantown might be worth a try).

yoga!!

Hell yeah. And no, I did not talk to him, he was too busy extending himself to assume Downward Dog.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

I would not go to Chinatown for that unless you want to get crap electronics. I'd just go to a Best Buy or a Circuit City.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

Slocki, you could make a trip down the penninsula and see another great wonder of the bay area: Fry's. The nearest one to SF, though, is in Palo Alto.

Although I guess they have Fry's all over the country now.

You should go to Chinatown, but maybe not for headphones. Go to the kite store and the fortune cookie factory.

i saw fake alex in sf at safeway again last night. tall, short blond hair, glasses, designer jeans, jean jacket, trainers. we argued about music for a second while waiting in line.

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

???

fake alex in sf? Does he have a doppelganger? Someone we could frame?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Alex wouldn't wear designer jeans!

― F.R.I.E.N.D. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

I do have a jean jacket though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

two months pass...

Some of youse like comedy, yah? ever go to this?

http://www.sfsketchfest.com/sfsf_06/mainframe.html

A friend is in the sketch group Prank the Dean, but I think Oh, You and Your Bone Spurs is a cuter name.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

There's a guy I work with who is in Prank The Dean! I wonder if it is the same guy....

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

haha. yes.

I don't know him personally, but he sent out a company email promoting the group...

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha, he's a nice kid and a Giants fan (well, nobody's perfekt).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

all of this 100% guaranteed to NOT BE FUNNY

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

Don't be talking shit about the Giants on the SF thread, Dr. M.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

C'mon kyle, no more than 90%! Rob Corddry!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Talking shit about the Giants is perfectly acceptable as far as I am concerned. Anyway the whole thread is about TALKING SMACK.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

I love SF, but I couldn't care less about pro-sports regionalism.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

A classic Shakey Mo Collier post.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

What I should have said was talk all the shitr you want about the Giants but not about their fans.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

the only pro sports discussions I can tolerate all center around debating which one is the most overtly homoerotic.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

I was jest improvvin'!

Also, Prank-the-Deanster Jesse Thorn has an acclaimed show on the UC Santa Cruz station, which I've almost never heard (cept the time he had Andrew WK give his 9-yo brother advice):

http://splangy.com/radio/sound.htm

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

ahhh KZSC. worst block programming ever. Great vinyl collection tho.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

i went to the Tinkle show on saturday night - hosted by david cross, todd barry, jon benjamin plus special guests brian posehn, bob odenkirk, eugene mirman & paul f. tompkins. it was great - a 3 hour show for 20 bucks!

― something less threatening (heywood), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

did they make you stand? I've never understood comedy shows where they did that. I don't dance to jokes, asshole.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

Who are you talking to?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

I don't dance to jokes, asshole

Gimme the right drugs and I do. It's quite embarrassing, actually.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

You can dance to Sarah Silverman jokes, because some of them are songs.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

Have you seen 'Jesus is Magic'? I keep meaning to but, well, you know how it goes.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I saw it. Really stoned, actually. It was half funny.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

I figured it would be really funny in parts and not in others. That's my general take on her. She has a kind of devil-may-care, machine-gun approach to her jokes where some are funny, some are excruciating and some are meh.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'd never heard of her before I saw the movie!

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I first saw her on Fox's 'Greg the Bunny' where she was funny enough but as a character, not as herself. Funny enough in 'The Aristocrats' to possibly get herself sued.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like the Aristocrats joke (minus the senseless references to Down's Syndrome--is it just me or are "retard" jokes really hot right now? So tiresome.) but I don't generally find her that funny.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

The discomfort level is great, though. "I was raped by a doctor as a little girl, ...which is bitersweet for a Jewish girl." Are rape jokes funny? Can a goy laugh at Jewish jokes? She's a little shit. She knows it, and she revels in it. I somehow find her provocations amusing.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Can a goy laugh at Jewish jokes?

He can certainly try.

The funniest guy in The Aristocrats was the weird guy who said he was in Friends.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

I don't remember him.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

Have I told you how, when I first met my gf's family, I volunteered my favorite Jewish joke to them? (Incidentally, a joke told to me by Roman Polanski.) They looked horrified until I told it, then bewildered.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

he was the best!

xp
tell us the joke

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

taylor negron

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

Michael, that wouldn't be the "Don't make trouble" joke, would it?

Have they finished renovating the Cliff House?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Have you heard about the six Jews who changed the world?

First there was Moses. He said everything comes from there. *points to heavens*

Then there was Solomon. He said everything comes from here. *points to head*

Then there was Jesus. He said everything comes from here. *points to heart*

Then there was Marx. H said everything comes from here.*points to stomach*

Then there was Freud. He said everything comes from here. *points to groin*

Then there was Einstein. He said, "Gentlemen. It's all relative."

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

They have, Dr. M. I've been to both the bistro and the fancy restaurant (whose name escapes me).

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

FAB (on both counts). and the Musee Mechanique is back?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

The MM is at Pier 29 now, I think.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

yes the restaurant now takes up the spot where the musee was.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

"Who are you talking to?"

sorry, I was referring to the time I saw David Cross and the crowd had to stand through his entire set.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

taylor negron

Wasn't he the one who made the strange joke about (random date) being so terrible. When he lost his wallet and credit cards at a motel or soemthing?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

taylor negron

yes

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

Wasn't he the one who made the strange joke about (random date) being so terrible.

This was the hardest I laughed in the whole movie! Do you think I'm strange too?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

He was funny but kinda scary in a 'Sorry, my lovely daughter, but no way in hell am I letting you go out with Mr. Negron.'

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

mr negron would not want to date your daughter

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

Well then, all's well.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)
