Lando: (to Leia) You look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds.
Princess Leia: (cooly) Thank you.

Dana Carvey as Kasey Kasem: "Keep your head in the clouds, and keep reaching for cigars."

this book cover is terribly clever:

Thank you. Chilx is now phone friendly again.

Do people even stop to think about the bumper stickers they put on their cars? I was behind an SUV this morning that has a bumper sticker that read "Sleeps with Dogs". Obviously, judging by their other stickers, they were huge dog enthusiasts... but, really? "Sleeps with Dogs"? Is this something you want to advertise?

Guys, we have to do pub quiz tonight because the first round is on The West Wing and I've watched the first five seasons in the past three months.

"Sleeps with Dogs"? Is this something you want to advertise?

It's a slippery slope, you know. If we allow that, next thing you know, people will have bumper stickers that advertise their sleeping with humans of the same sex.

ok ... what are the other rounds? i've never ever watched the west wing but hopefully i can contribute elsewhere

I can't figure out the second one yet. The anagram is "Diagonal Hayloft Mystery." Also, the match round is about the Oscars, which is also obviously in my wheelhouse.

Heaven have mercy -- I just applied for a job, apparently based out of someone's home right here in the neighborhood, the builds websites for dirty dirty purposes. The ad didn't say that, or course, it said "like Playboy." Which I would be a fool not to assume means that I'd be building pages for INeedASqueegee.com. (Available! I just checked.)

My worry is more that I will get this job, and go from "reasonably desensitized to pornography for a person my age" to "oh God kill me now." My even bigger worry is that I might be perfect for the job.

That anagram has me stumped.

(xpost)

Could easily be system + something.

Data Loofah Lying System.

Fatal Handy Igloo System.

Aalyiah Fondles Gyms Tot

er, gym tots.

Last one, honest: but it's close to something about Aaliyah Song Test.

"Aaliyah" always looks like a Jumble clue to me anyway.

it's probably got a proper name, since the anagram finder isn't pulling up anything likely

"hayley mills films" is in there

Could easily be system + something.

no it couldn't ... only one 's'

trying to think of names with lots of y's

Do you guys have any idea how boring this is?

Which of course is to say, you should all be talking about me instead.

What has two thumbs and a pazcki?

THIS GAL

By which I mean me. Me has a pazcki. I've never had one of these before. It's pretty good. You Polish know how to make a doughnut.

Me too!!!!

(it's inside of me)

You got any Polish in you?

You want some?

Because there are like 15 boxes of pazckis (pazcki?) floating around this place.

Who has two thumbs in him and ate a paczki?

Jenny, that's who.

"employee was hostile...hostile behavior disrupts work flow, creates tension...at Employer, we prefer SAFETY in the workplace!"

What???

(caps and ! in the original)

shit thx, i forgot it was Fat Tues.

it occurs to me that that was entirely out of context.

From a letter from the HR mgr at Employer to the appeals board of the IL Dept. of Emplmt Security.

my favorite beads, check: little disco balls.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/disco-beads.jpg

u make me feel mightee real

I feel love, I feel love
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love

I want to make a dirty joke about Kenan's favorite beads but I'm not that kind of girl.

Every time I read" James Corden should fuck off" I think it says, "J0rd@n C0hen should fuck off" and then I wonder what he did to piss ppl off so bad.

I want to make a dirty joke about Kenan's favorite beads but then he posted "I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love" and that probably took care of it.

haha the same thing happened to me.

happy mardi gras! i'm ducking out to play a lunchtime gig in a bit, then two more shows tonight.

My first thought was to snap a picture of myself shirtless and gyrating while wearing the beads, but I reconsidered.

Yr welcome.

"hayley mills films" is in there

So is "the royal family."

A Filthy Old Grey's Anatomy

you should go to mastodon's site and watch the video for "divinations" which is the best song on the new album and also a hilarious video

Also the shortest song on the new album by a lot, which is convenient

one more vote for: i can't imagine jesse liking it either, but hey what do i know

i like my metal sludgey and a little pagan-folky

I think we all just double dog dared Jesee to like this record

Ugh. The Lily Allen record is just irritating. What an child she is. "The Fear" is particularly annoying:

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars concussing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic

OOOOH I get it, you're being ironic! Well, that's amazing. Good for you!

I like "Not Fair," the country song.

It's one-level irony + a shit attitude, which brings it down a bit lower than the first level. I kind of hate it.

Today at Hot Doug's:

Guess he didn't read Nick's thread:
Please stop referencing 4'33" by John Cage

Yeah but nick didn't mean FUNNY references to 4'33

the hot dog consists of whatever encased meats you eat or don't eat in the next 4 min 33 secs after paying for it.

Actually, you can read about it here:

Kenan, you would be proud of me. I rescued this newsletter from more than just horrible punctuation, grammar, and syntax, but I changed the font from a puzzling mix of Comic Sans and Courier to straight TNR (not exciting, I know, but it's a newsletter and I'm working with limited tools here) and tried to at least make it look like somebody put a modicum of thought into readability and layout.

In celebration, I'm going to listen to Rich Boy at my desk while I change into my communtin' shoes.

Have a safe communt, Jenny.

hahahaha somehow I blame Rich Boy for that typo.

I changed the font from a puzzling mix of Comic Sans and Courier

"puzzling" is the most polite possible way to put that

Also, Nick plz tell Sarah I'm going to DDPP in case she is going to go/on the fence. Okaybye

Jesse will not like Mastadon.

you had one of those posts today yourself, kenan

Which one do you mean? :)

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/kenan-headache.jpg

I dunno, but it was upthread by one of my posts. Our internet was flaky as fuck all day, so it just may not have loaded.

I'll notice it next time I clear my cache, I'm sure. No thing.

1. I saw Kenan's blank post.

2. I don't hate or adore Mastodon, but I fall on the side of liking. The vocals sound a lot like Ozzie, which is a sort of a drawback for me.

It's weird to me that people thought I wouldn't like them.

3. Jenny often hears about my ladyboss' delight in jazzing up letters and pleadings with all varieties of fonts in various sizes. Recently she wrote a petition to the court in Tahoma 14 pt, which I changed to TNR 12, but then had to change back b/c the signature page was signed and wouldn't have matched. At least it was just in stupid Cook County court where judges probably rule based on adorability of typeface. She said she "gets bored" with ordinary fonts.

I like my metal epic.

this is pretty epic imho

I've been listening to a ton of FNM lately, though not this song b/c the last half of that album kind of rubs me the wrong guey.

that song is one of the top 3 on that album!

yeah see I just really fucking hate faith no more

2 bad 4 u

Jesse, I really think you are going to hate Mastodon.

Jeff, I've already said I don't hate them. Or maybe I just thought I said it. I don't have any strong opinions of them.

2. I don't hate or adore Mastodon, but I fall on the side of liking.

tbh, it's not like my favorite band or anything, and I usually find the whole metal aesthetic technical-obsessive at best. But Mastodon does rock pretty mightily withing those confines, and even a little outside of them, and once every couple months I'll go on a big metal bender and listen to a whole record of theirs or something. Other people like it WAY more than I am capable of, I know, but I do like it.

If that makes sense.

i will defend faith no more to the death

Might you say that you are a... STAN for Faith No More?????

that fnm song sounds a lot like it belongs on here

'Ere ya go. Let is all hang out, sister.

Of course I have not heard it.

wheee

OK - I did it. If this is acceptable, post there. If you want something else, make it or stay here. Chicago: That thing you shook hands with four days ago just had babies in the bathroom.
