i don't live in chicago anymore.

when does that new nintendo come out?

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

Now if that title doesn't make you want to click then I don't know what would.

New nintendo and apple products to be announced MAY 9TH.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Juneish? For new Nintendo? I might be making this up completely and utterly?

You know, the guy that used Pete's bathroom didn't even actually look like Fabio, when I think about it. In any way.

xpost OH Mayish, I was not far off.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

well I mean the nintendo is already announced but the serious press coverage and meaty details are going to start spilling that day in earnest. This Apple thing, whatever it is, I just now found out about.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

It probably sucks, it's Apple. I'm gonna get that kind of commentary in while I can, before they unban Jon :D

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

June is the DS Lite. I think gbx is talking about the WII. That is coming out in Q4 2006, which is code for the week after Thanksgiving.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

that nintendo might be my First Ever video game box. if it's only $99.

xp thought he was unbanned already?

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

O RLY? Whoops. I was just kidding, about the sucking.

I don't want a DS Lite cos they are white.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

things I am really anticipating this year in no particular order:

Star Wars theatrical editions on DVD

my Master's Degree

A new computer of some sort

the Wii

Hi I'm boring, and your name is?

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

Who banned Jon?

my brother is making me listen to gnarls barkley and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

"Star Wars theatrical editions" sounds funny to me, like it's some super special new edition that's like extra melodramatic, or like some high school satirical production or something.

Am I ever going to get the answer as to why you need a new computer?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

because I broke my old one and yours is dirty.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

but mostly because Josh has like 3 new computers.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

it's NOT FAIR.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

new computer >>>>> old computer

simple math.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

Old computer is actually pretty new though, is the thing that is making me curious as to why he's so darned insistant on a new one THIS YEAR instead of next year or something. Also Josh's limbs go numb on a regular basis and he's full of cholesterol and I don't see anyone doing THAT.

Actually I wouldn't really mind had we not got JACKED on DC taxes this year.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

ally, congratulations on your superior brain use (i.e. remembering) skills.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

is it worth getting a new iMac if i just incurred a bunch of student debt and already have a functional 3 yr old powerbook?

probably not, huh.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a new computer every year. You can just collect them like some mad scientist.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

xpost No see that's my theory about getting a new computer right now too. If I knew what exactly he wanted it for besides "Josh has one" I'd be maybe a little more acquiescent about the idea, but really the tax thing + wedding + upcoming travel + Nintendo products = computer doesn't seem prioritized to me. BUT I AM A GURLZ.

ZR, do you remember the guy we are talking about tho? He didn't even have long hair, IIRC.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

When you describe Josh in terms of his gadget fascination and health problems he sounds like he must be a huge fatty who never leaves the house. Poor guy.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

I HATE FINALS!

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

If you describe Luke in terms of anything that has to do with Luke, you'd assume the same thing. What up with ppl you know.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

You know if you change your name to Big Loud Ape Mountain I can just refer to you as BLAM all the time.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

consider it done, your Allyzayness

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

No I think describing Luke in terms of the things he does you would get more of a picture like oh well shit basically pick any of the red meat regulars and that's basically Luke anyway.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

yeah ally i don't really remember that dude. i was trying to recall what we decided the new thread should be, got stuck on "charo is eating my leftovers" or something, and gave up.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 5 May 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

He did have greasy longish hair, not fabio long at all but down to the collar all around. parted in the middle for extra douchiness. He was sitting with the woman who was trying to offset her strong-jawed horseyness by dressing not very differently than that 40something from the Tonga Room in her pajamas.

Hi Metro Area DC. I grew up in Delaware and that's totally close.

Your state-run boozemporia are more impressive to me than Virginia's.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

DE boozemporia aren't state-run. However, we did just recently start selling booze on Sundays.

TAKE THAT JESUS.

I think we can officially make Hunter Age 3 our mascot at this point.

that should be the favicon.

the bosstrons of lockheed have informed me that today is Gordon Biersch day. dud or free beer?

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

I guess Gordon Biersch is no worse than any place else. Wait, I'm totally making that up, GB is terrible.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Friday, 5 May 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

But the beer is good and will get your husband DRUNK.

I was upset that Vegas seemed to be more Desert Disneyland than Leaving Las Vegas. There seemed to be some cool pockets here and there but the main part of the strip was horrible.

The Elvis-A-Rama was really good but I hear they are closing it. I didn't make it but I heard the Liberace Museum was also worthy.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

I think I would've been happier had I gone to Vegas 30 years ago. I missed my chance.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

So, is it just the over-the-topness for the sake of being over-the-top that irks you all? It seems like the same problem I had with Mardi Gras -

LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!!!
Yeah, but why? What are we celebrating?
TITS!!!! SHOW US YOUR TITS!!!!! TIIIIIIIIIITS!!!!!!

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

No, it's the fact that it's crap and full of guidos.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

crap = ?

I've never been, and I am curious and want to know what to expect when I do go.

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

The guidos part I can understand entirely, though.

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

That's basically all there is to it, guidos and douchebags and trash. Plus the constant sound of ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding and the inherent creepiness of old women gambling away the last of their money. I don't actually gamble nor do I have interest in watching Dirk Arthur pull tigers out of his ass so there's not much there for us to do. Though maybe Carrot Top and the tore up strippers who even looked bad in the photoshopped ad would've been worth $200 a head???

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe if we were there longer, and I had resigned myself to this idiocy, it would've been better. If you do go, which is highly unnecessary, do not stay at the Luxor or probably any of the themey looking ones. Luxor was crap, Excaliber was utterly terrifying inside, I refused to even set foot in NY NY, etc. MGM Grand was nice. Our friends all stayed at the Bellagio which they said was nice but it should be for that much money a room.

I am still recovering from LV so it is good that they have hour lunchbreak and a machine where I hit the coke can and coke comes out without me having to put any money in it.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

also hopefully this doesn't violate the NDA I just signed but the first 4 hours of class was learning how to use google and whois.

I can't even get coffee today because all I have is a $100 bill and I'm not asking that poor Korean dude to break a $100 over a $1 cup of coffee. Fuck that coke machine.

Thats like some fantasyland shit or something.

Did anyone see Ice-T on Cribs? He was AWESOME. Apart from his being one of my favorite rappers ever, he had a soda machine and a snack machine in his house. The reason? So that when his friends come over, they don't eat his food - go get it yourself from the machine, yo. I will add this to the things to be purchased for my mansion.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 22 May 2006 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Another NY design show daytrip. I made extra sure to be the first one out of the train and to the cab stand but there were like 1000x people waiting, including a bunch of teens coming from thair romanticated Union Station prom. Ugh.

Nah bruv, I got back late Saturday night.

Also, even if it seems like a good idea at the time, do not listen to Steve Reich's Different Trains while riding Amtrak. It is way too depressing once it gets to the second movement.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

OK how do I go about securing the letters that make up that sign? Seriously, at the very least I really, really want the retro "G" from the ghetto giant near my place--the building is being completely redone in the next year or so and surely they will not have use for the sign letters any more. So do I just chat up construction dudes or e-mail the vice president of giant or something?

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

Oh and Stephen that American Gentrifiers mag cover on that other thread was roffle-worthy!

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

Round-the-clock watchfulness. When the Church of the Rapture took down their awesome heaven-and-hell sign, it was headed for the dumpster 'til some Saint-Exers jumped up from their tables and grabbed it.

I love that GIANT FOOD sign. It makes me think they sell peas the size of basketballs.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

Q, maybe get the name of the construction company (should be posted) and call and ask for the project manager and ask what they're planning on doing with the sign. Or you may have better luck when they're working - ask for the site superintendent.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:36 (nineteen years ago)
