DC Cab ought to be hilarious but it's kind of unwatchable. Bill Maher is in it, he is terrible. Mr T doesn't get a lot of screen time but I am pretty sure he tells the kids to stay in school

― dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

i dunno, dg - i found it strangely totally watchable. i resisted, and my friend INsisted, and it turned out pretty awesome.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck Mr. T and his milk and his staying in school, he's got nothing but bad advice.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

well this is a clever play on words, right. You see, in his career as the Fresh Prince, Will Smith complained that parents don't understand. But in Enemy of The State, it is he, himself, who does not understand. Until Gene Hackman helps him out, and blows up his own TEMPEST-shielded safehouse.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

why don't you just call the thread "GENE HACKMAN YR MY HERO LUV KISSES TOMBOT" already

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

That's not even clever at all

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Sometimes one has to sacrifice cleverness to be truly honest.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

maybe I just like it when people kill angelina jolie's dad, how about that?

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

Do you remember the episode of Seinfeld where he bit Kramer?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

I think it had something to do with George buying his car and then he bit Kramer but maybe he bit George actually. All I know is they had to test the bites to find out if some other bite marks were actually John Voight.

Wow it sounds totally unfunny and confusing when I write it down.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

BTW guys apparently Deep Impact has several bits shot in and around DC/MD/NoVA. Netflix here I come.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

you've got to be kidding me.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

Wow it sounds totally unfunny and confusing when I write it down.

No, that's seinfeld in general

― Jimmy Mod: My theme is DEATH (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

yeah you were in latin class or english class or some kind of class.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

maybe you just have class. Who am I to say?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

Oh and the movie where Steve Guttenberg turns himself invisible.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

haha insert "funny" film thread joke about how art imitates life.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

You guys should move to VA. They practically pay you to live here.

This is the first time in like 10 years I've actually filed past the federal. Usually I don't do it when I do the fed bc I am too lazy and I convince myself that I will do it later but then I never do.

I got yelled at today by a mom for not appreciating her 2-yr-old's learning style. :(

I tried to do the e-file but it stopped working half-way through. Not sure if it was the program or if my mom's computer is going the way of my own.

DC taxes sound scary. I wonder where I should move when I get my life straightened out.

What Ethiopian restaurant are we going to tomorrow night?

Why is modern-day seesucker so clingy?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

― Jimmy Mod: My theme is DEATH (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

how about this one?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

FA's, what's your set time tomorrow night?

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

Meow, Catholic girls at the print station getting catty.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Wait until Thursday and come up to Boston to go to Addis Red Sea with me and Ned!

― Dan (Coastal FAP) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck, I want Ethiopian so badly now!

― Fight the Real Enemy -- Tasti D-Lite (ex machina), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

Dan - you're not coming to RI to see Neddypoo are you?

― Dan (Booyah) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 03:20 (nineteen years ago)

If your idea of excitement is seeing Tea Leoni pulled over by the Secret Service off of 29 in Georgetown, or a traffic jam on 66W (hey, that's something new!) PREPARE TO BE THRILLED.

Extra-super-special bonus hate for Tom: This movie was slated to be directed by Spielberg but he gave it up to do "Amistad."

― phil d. (Phil D.), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

FA @ 9:30 according to ZR. Now where/when Ethiopian?

― quincie, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

I am out for this evening - sorry, man. I hope you guys rock out with your socks out.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

FINALLY

after 2 years of running DOWN metro escalators two steps at a time I have done something (bizarre, more numbing/sore than painful, not apparently restrictive of my range of motion -yet) to my left leg below the knee.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

What is a good cure for feeling pins & needles in your calf for three hours? Drinking VAULT? That's what I thought.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

try elevating above the level of your heart? (i.e. a good excuse for putting your feet up on your desk)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

oh wait - i didnt closely read the post - "tomorrow" = "tonight." ok, well, i WILL be there tonight.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

I hope Jon and Dan are coming for Ethiopian.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

new possible topics for discussion or else just a survey:

1. what is the best beer?
2. when you next move cities, what city will you move to?
3. should i start a faulkner book? which? should i instead read rushdie's midnight's children?
4. should i go to grad school?

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

1. fuck that shit. pabst blue ribbon. (not really, I just don't have much of an opinion on the subject)
2. san diego
3. no. none. mmmmmaybe but is it really long? just read a biography instead.
4. hells no.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

1. This is like asking what season is best. First, it is a question that is fraught with opinions, and second, it does not allow for a conditional best, as in best for what particular moment. At the moment, money is very tight for me - so any beer I can get is the best. Were I to have my choice, I would say a well poured, not-to-cold pint of Guinness is best.
2. I am moving to LA in like 40 days. Fuck, I am scared.
3. I have read The Sound and the Fury, Absalom! Absalom! and A Light in August. All difficult reads, and I am no expert on which to read first. I have heard good things re: Rushdie's writing, but have never read any myself. The Shah of Iran was not a fan.
4. I would recommend going to grad school only if
1) You don't have to pay for it
2) If you have something that you really want to study
3) If you have to pay for some or all of it, you can justify the cost with increased earning potential.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

1. So hard to choose. . . can't pick just one! I really liked that unpronouncable hefeweizen I was drinking last night at Paradiso. And that other beer in the girlie glass.
2. Not planning on moving anytime soon, but I'm partial to Portland.
3. I like "As I Lay Dying." Have not read any Rushdie.
4. Depends. For the most part I really enjoyed my grad school years, and the degree itself has been helpful career-wise. On the other hand, I was fortunate not to have to go into much debt for 4+ years of grad schoolin'; if debt were an issue I'd tread carefully.

― quincie, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

1. Eggenberg Pils, I think.
2. san francisco
3. hey he said "start," starting a faulkner book is okay. if you finish it though you're crazy.
4. for what? generally no, rest of life to be in grad school, better off being in a band before you start to feel old and crusty and out-of-it and poseurish and lose all your energy. At 28.

Nah - I was never into destruction of property, per se, but I did have a fun night knocking off mailboxes in my neighborhood WAY back in high school. That was cool.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 4 May 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

plus throwing glass bottles out of the car at signs [BEST GAME EVER]

― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Thursday, 4 May 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

we drove around the campus at UT knoxville once pitching whole limes at people. We wrote imperatives on them with a sharpie. Drive-by limings.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Thursday, 4 May 2006 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder how that would go down on the shouting out of cars thread.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 4 May 2006 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah dude - the Snapple out the sunroof was trademark Smith boys. I had that timing down.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 4 May 2006 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

Had to be a Snapple, too. Never could nail the Yoohoo, Arizona or beer bottles. The Snapple bottles just pitched perfectly out the roof and then...BANG!

Awesome.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 4 May 2006 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

Man I'm gonna go buy myself a Yoohoo on the way home now. Fuck yeah Yoohoo.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Thursday, 4 May 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

Are you going to throw it at someone?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 4 May 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

"Oh no... not Yoohoo... *sob*"

Sorry I missed last night--I was flagging around 10 and couldn't comtemplate crossing the river.

You can't post on ILX anymore without being a registered user, it would seem.

Brian, are you shepherding Q and I through the National Building Musuem, this weekend, and if so, what day?

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 5 May 2006 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

maybe I won't make it down this weekend - is Cezanne missable?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 5 May 2006 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ha. There were GOGs at SALT, but y'all too blind to see. Or somethin'.

― The Cricklewood Massive (The Cricklewood Massive), Friday, 5 May 2006 04:42 (nineteen years ago)

Given the number of people at the Cezanne show, you can actually miss most of the pieces even if you're there. But yes, it's a decent show but not even close to his best work and is missable.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 5 May 2006 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Brian/Mary/Mrs. Q what if we wanted to come along? Would you hate us?

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

I suggest we all dress extra eurotrashy and adopt atrociously fake accents

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

excuse me good sir, but pete and i will take care of ensuring the fake accents are atrocious

― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

We saw the GOGs at SALT. In fact, Zack and Pete kept pointing them out to me, despite the fact that I'm very vague on what, exactly, a GOG is.

Sunday @ noon building museum sounds fine to me.

gabbneb what weekend will you make it down?

Also I always dress eurotrashy and talk in a fake accent, wtf, you guys don't?

OK sad but IRONY

it is really really hot outside today. They also gave us our once in a while "jeans day" today at work.

I am regretting partaking in jeans day due to humid disgustingness outside :(

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

they give you "jeans day"? that's kinda sad, dude.

Yes I know. Oh and like everyone I work with is quitting, it's so great.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I'll try to make it down next Sat, tho Hokusai/Sugimoto/van Mieris/Degas/etc seem less exciting without Cezanne on top

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 5 May 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not a big Cezanne person so I don't have anything to add to that. The combination with or without Cezanne is awesome.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

I really want to see the Sugimoto stuff.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

the Sugimoto stuff is great, I'd see it again. sorry I can't make it to this weekend's gallery visit, I really want to go but.. work obligation. damn.
