Rita's XIV: The Last DJ

[Puma]

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

I fucked up. I bought some Guinness, Jamison's, Bailey's. Yeah, that's right. Car bomb time!

so why is that fucked up? sounds good.

[Ronald Bryan]

But I'm getting fucked up. And this is a "quiet, friendly" apartment complex. Even though my neighbor has a giant, crotch sniffing dog.

It's scary as hell when you've had a long day and round the last flight of stairs to see a German Shepherd running at you, though. (But it's so much cooler than going to your parent's house.)


And I'm up to 3!

It's just one of those days.

Just filled out the request to purchase Dr. Who - season 1 & 2 DVDs for the library. We have all the old series so hopefully we can add the new.

One more hour to go.

I wish the local library had someone more like you in charge of purchasing materials. I think the highlight of the local library's DVD collection is a complete set of Steven Seagal films.

What?!? You gotta be kidding.

... Are you?

[JeffreyWKramer]

Steven Seagal? *shudder*

Yeah, that's pretty much my reaction. They also have shit like GHOST on DVD. Who on earth would want to watch that at this point in time?

The VHS collection - still by far larger than the DVD collection - is almost as bad in its own way. Mostly collections of ancient PBS series and the sort of boring documentary shows they show at odd hours on the History Channel.

[JeffreyWKramer]

What?!? You gotta be kidding.

... Are you?

I wish I was, but sadly, no, I'm not kidding. The DVD and VHS collections look like they decided to get the most things they could with the smallest amount of money, and with no thought whatsoever given to actual quality or interest. I doubt anyone has rented out any of those tapes of I, CLAUDIUS in over a decade.

[ragnarok_2012]

Seagal reminds me of a cross between John Wayne and Billy Jack.

Though I will say that I enjoy some of his early movies (up to & including Under Siege).

My aikido class got together and rented out a theatre when Fire Down Below was first released....and made shameless fun of it.

Kind of our own, personal, MST3K episode.

If their system is anything like ours, the majority of feature films (not classics) are from donations; so Ghost and the like are in the collection. Up until 10 years ago the lion's share of our collection was PBS, Masterpiece Theatre, and documentaries. The shift occurred after we got money. Now we have the HBO and Showtime series, BBC series, and a far better selection of non-fiction and documentaries than the "Meet the Author" VHS that clog the shelves at Central.

Friday and Saturday are not the best days to come back to CBR, are they?

Hmmm...in that case.

Let me retract.

One pencil-related injury and one pencil-related minor inconvenience (that still remains, decades later).

-Brian

I had a pencil-related minor surgery that turned out very badly.

[Paradox]

Why would anyone need more than one Steven Seagal movie? I mean, if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

[Gilda Dent]

Dang it!

I just had a third Wonder built by someone else with fewer than five turns before I built it. I hate this game.

[The Grand Beef]

I suppose not. But, how are you sir?

[K'Nort]

I got up in Palm Springs this morning and when I got off the plane back here, it was 14 degrees. That woke me up.

The cat finished her four days of food some time ahead of schedule. I think it will be at least four more days before she forgives me.

But I survived the whole meeting Gus's totally-unlike-mine family. For the most part. So that's out of the way. And I finally had an In and Out burger.

[Ronald Bryan]

I'm going to a party tonight (probably pretty soon, its already 10 wowza). But a lot of the folks there will be co-workers. Just about all of my co-workers are pretty kickass, but just being in an environment where I feel I can be the "real" me around co-workers who aren't co-workers but "real" people, will be interesting.

I've already had three beers. I'm wondering if I should just keep drinking and forget the party thing....it should be a good party (as I said, most of the folks I work with are pretty hip and dig a good party), but I don't know if I'd be comfortable in that kind of environment. I know, lame. But hmm. Maybe I should just get high and go.

In and Out is pretty good, but Fatburger is WAY better.

[K'Nort]

In and Out is pretty good, but Fatburger is WAY better.

NOW you tell me!

But In and Out was the important one regardless. All the ex-Californians in Oregon whine about how good it is. And I must say the buns are exceptional. They have a flavor! Disappointing fries though.

And I completely forgot about the unwritten menu until too late and so did Gus.

[Fish Sauce]

I have a photo of myself outsider a Fatburger. What a name.

Hey, I think Apodaca and I got into an argument here awhile ago about which was better.

I've always heard about both, but that Fatburger was the way to go, and it is. I think there are fewer Fatburger locations, though.

Fatburger's chilli cheese fries are insane...in a good way.

And yeah, In N Out's fries always seem like they're stale to me for some reason.

[K'Nort]

I love chili cheese fries. Assuming it's not cheese "sauce" like convenience store nachos. I will definitely keep Fatburger in mind for the next time.

[kmeyers]

Tired and more tired. I need sleep and sleep and more sleep.
But it's the weekend, all weekend long! You can sleep tomorrow. Now go do some shots of coffee, and put in an I.V. of Jolt cola into your forearm stat, pansy!

Oh my God, no. They put shredded cheese over the fries(you can get fat(mini-waffle shaped) or skinny(regular shaped) fries). So, the chilli melts the shredded cheese all over the fries. I eat it with a fork.

Thats a bummer. You need to party my friend. Tiredness can be pushed to the backburner and sleep can be avoided as long as the substances keep rolling in and the personal experiences keep on exploding in your daily life.

Those are "bludgeon you to death with my fuckin fists" winds. The winds I'm talking about are the "Ice cold surgical steel ninja slice your sac in half to watch your balls fall out" variety.

Oh. and a special "Deuchland Deuchland Uber Alles" and "Zieg Heil" to all those mayo eaters in Frankenmuth. You really know how to make a day fuckin special.

[Gilda Dent]

So, apparently I have no ability to read people whatsoever.

Emily told me that her brothers think I'm cool. These are the same kids who whined at me every time they talked to me, mostly about not having anything to do, called me "dude" repeatedly despite my asking them not to do that every time they did it, laughing at their rudeness the more often it happened, who seemed unable to fix themselves something to eat which they seemed to need some six to eight times a day, and generally seemed to make it their duty to come find me and bug me four or five times a day. Usually while calling me "Dude", fighting with each other, whining about having nothing to do and asking what there was to eat.

So either I'm terrible at reading their attitude, Em is bad at reading them, or they were lying to her for some reason. I have to assume Em is better at this than I am, so that leaves my not understing things well or them pulling an Eddie Haskell on Emily.

Whatever it is, it should be at least three more years before we get Thanksgiving again, so this will likely be the last time I have to deal with this. They'll have to be better behaved at 17 and 18 than at 14 and 15, right?

If they think you're cool, "dude" is a good thing. Are they from California? Are they stoners? I call several ladyfriends dude, and most people are dude. and I'm from the midwest. It's not gender related, just term of endearment, dudette.

[o1pickleboy]

This is a rant.

Man I am getting to hate where I live. Tonight I hit one of the local bars and a few Latinos came in. They were the talk of the bar. They got the treat of racism in many ways.

1.) they had a few locals make fun of their citizenship

2.) the bartender called down her big boyfriend because she was nervous

3.) Jokes about the Mexican language ran all nite long.

4.) In general no one talked the group without an attitude.


I just hate the intolerance of my area. They where judged by race not action. It just sickens me. You would think I would be use to it my now.

Everybody is cool or should be cool.

Usually while calling me "Dude", fighting with each other, whining about having nothing to do and asking what there was to eat.

So, in other words, they behaved like typical teen-aged boys. Yeah, if they didn't like you at all, they'd probably just ignore you and give each other "the look" (the eye-rolling "how could anyone be so stupid" look) every time you said something. The fact that they were whining about having nothing to do to you, kind of indicates that they thought you might actually know of something cool they might like to do.

We TOLD ya to take 'em out to the hoop! :)

[o1pickleboy]

Well good nite CBR, hopefully you all have a better day and Holdiay weekend then I have had so far.

They are from Southern California and are not, so far as I know, stoners. Regardless of the intent, I think it would have been more polite for them to stop calling me "dude" after I told them I'd prefer they didn't call me that and used my name instead. I'm not sure it counts as a term of endearment if the person being addressed doesn't like the term being used and has said so.

Heh, given the next paragraph, I kinda concur.

Yeah, I doubt it comes as a surprise to anyone :).

Very much so.

The fact that they were whining about having nothing to do to you, kind of indicates that they thought you might actually know of something cool they might like to do.

Emily said they'd come to her a couple of times and her response had been something like "And how, exactly, did this become my problem?" She said they kept coming to me because I was paying attention to them and taking their concerns seriously.

We TOLD ya to take 'em out to the hoop!

Maybe I should have. The attitude I was getting didn't seem to mesh much with the idea of their actually wanting to do something with me.

[Royal]

[Elegance Liberty]

Okay, so today is my birthday and I'm gonna do some stuff.

But I ask you fine folk:

I'll be in the area where there's a theater and I wanna see a movie today.

So.


'Casino Royale' or 'Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny'?

(If all else fails, I'll go see 'Jackass Number Two' at the dollar theater. Or rent 'Cars', whichever comes first)

[Paradox]

Question, Gilda. Do the boys know about your gender situation? If so do you think the "dude" was a "shot"? Or could it have been one of those male bonding things we talked about in the opposite sex question thread? Frankly, coming from my generation, I have no idea about how today's teens might react to you. The very concept would have scared us a little in real life, but for all I know, today's kids might only be "so, like do we treat her like a guy or a girl? Or can we do both?"

And part of the cool just might BE that you didn't just blow them off like Emily, but treated them as people. Whiny people, but people just the same.

But I was more than a little kidding. Teen-agers are hard to read for anyone, because their hormones make them totally unpredictable. Manic and joyful one second, angry and belligerent the next and sullen and mopey by the next tick.

Both look good - "Tenacious D" looks to be the first actually-funny Jack Black movie in ages - but I'd go with "Casino Royale". In fact, if things go as planned today, I'm going to go see that this afternoon or this evening.

(If all else fails, I'll go see 'Jackass Number Two' at the dollar theater. Or rent 'Cars', whichever comes first)
I think I'd be more inclined to flush money down the toilet or give it to a panhandler than I'd be inclined to see "Jackass 2."

I saw 'Casino Royale' a week or so ago. I *really* loved it, even if it felt like it dragged on a little too long for my liking. Still, I'd love to see it again at some point or another.

'Tenacious D' looks pretty funny, but I wanna get a couple more reccomendations from people before seeing it.

Haw. My older sister and I saw it. Twice.

I have no excuses for that either.

Young people will call anyone "dude" (Fuck, I sound old.)

Morna and I sat near a young couple who were dining with what appeared to be one of their grandmothers in a restaurant a couple of nights ago and I heard the guy call her "dude" a couple of times. He had a very surfer dude manner of talking all around and it struck me as disrespectful to the elderly woman that he didn't modify his speech patterns when spoke with her.

They definitely don't have to be stoners to use the word. And it's definitely usually complimentary when used with non-peers, particularly women. Because they're saying they're seeing you as a near-peer instead of those other roles. (Not everyone finds that appealing, of course, and you may be one of those "I'd rather be respected than liked" folks like some of my relations, but the point here is their intent.)

Meyers and Paradox have pretty much nailed it. I will just add that with many teenagers, manners and respect have nothing to do with their opinion of people. Not least because of the wide range of informality out there these days. And they're still asserting their independence. So yeah, impersonal rebellion rather than any sort of dislike.

They understand what you wrote. They're giving you the opportunity to delete it and get your account back. In a very diplomatic nonconfrontational way.

Oh, I get that; I'm just not going to lie to them. I'm not paying for it and I don't really care about the account as it is.

[K'Nort]

Kristen, more spillage re: your interactions with Gus' family!

Oh sure! Because he'll never see it!

Everyone was very hospitable. I'm pretty much from a different planet, but it's not like they haven't seen that before. And actually, the spouse of the only grandchild to marry so far has even less in common with them than I do.

They do think Gus has a grander destiny ahead of him than North Dakota, though. Go figure.

And I stayed well clear of the hot tub.

[Brian Cronin]

Spillage is not a BAD thing!

You can have spillage which is all "they were awesome - I love them more than my family."

Dear eHarmony:

For the $60 a month to get next to nil on decent matches, I could instead go to a bar with some buddies, drink up and try my luck with lame pick-up lines. And it would be a lot more fun.

Sincerely,

True. I was hoping for embarrassing tales of misunderstanding!

[K'Nort]

True. I was hoping for embarrassing tales of misunderstanding!

There was a spirited game of Risk. That was as heated as things got.

And no one pulled Gus aside after I left to give him a stern talk about sneaking out of his room all three nights, so woo hoo for that.

[Merey]

Rupert is naturally jet black and almost always in an Emo phase.

Now if it was Fergus with a black eye I'd check my Halloween kit.

Those are awesome names!

I've decided to name my hypothetical cats Septimus and Rufus.

[Gilda Dent]

Question, Gilda. Do the boys know about your gender situation? If so do you think the "dude" was a "shot"?

Yeah, they know; the whole family does. It's difficult for me not to interpret that as a shot from someone who knows better, especially when they know how much I dislike it.

(Not everyone finds that appealing, of course, and you may be one of those "I'd rather be respected than liked" folks like some of my relations, but the point here is their intent.)

Yeah, I definitely don't want to be thought of as a peer or near-peer to a 15-year-old-boy, but I don't see being liked and being respected as something that should be a choice. I'd prefer both, but in the long term respect is more important to me. I would have thought that pretty common.

I've spent the last decade making sure I don't get treated like one of the guys and I don't plan to start undoing that now.

[Chris Nowlin]

I went home for Thanksgiving; have mixed feelings about the trip

pros:
Grandma made pumpkin pie
egg nog from Mitchell's
saw friends and family
talked with old college teachers
sale at local comic store; filled in back issues

cons:
lost important textbook
too many dogs whine too often
visits with friends too crammed in to the point where they seem perfunctory (when are we both free? 1 am. Fine. Grab some beers and catch up on life. How about you. Lunch Friday during your break from work. Next.)
Trip back(details below*)
I don't actually like turkey all that much

*On freeway my gas pedal stopped working completely for a brief time; it seeemed to correct itself and I continue undeterred; while stopped at McDonalds about midway between San Francisco and Santa Barbara, my car refused to start; I was about to call AAA when it finally started; I decided to just drive straight home without stopping, quite concerned about whether my gas would last.

[DarkBlade]

Gilda, teenagers say it all the time and if it's something that's embedded in one's speech patterns, it can be hard to ditch even if asked. Dude hasn't been gender specific for at least a decade.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

Gilda, teenagers say it all the time and if it's something that's embedded in one's speech patterns, it can be hard to ditch even if asked. Dude hasn't been gender specific for at least a decade.

A classic line I heard in a girl on girl porno.

"Use your fucking fingers dude, dig them in...I can take it"

So you are correct about the non-specific useage of "Dude"

[Ronald Bryan]

You mean teenage kids don't do what you tell them to? The horror!

[Gilda Dent]

Ok, got it. "Dude" is now gender neutral in usage, if not in form. I still dislike it. I'd prefer my name as a form of direct address to any slang term.

[Ronald Bryan]

Sloppy Joes and tater tots!

Good evening all.

Sloppy taters?

That would make them better. Kinda like chili fries.

I've never liked tator tots. I don't like my potatoes crispy.

When the cafeteria here does sloppy joes for lunch, it's always early in the week and then on Friday they turn the leftovers into a rather creative Shepherd's Pie. Which they always spell incorrectly.

But tater tots go best with joes. You break them in half and scoop all the meat that fell out your sandwich into them and eat.

[K'Nort]

But tater tots go best with joes. You break them in half and scoop all the meat that fell out your sandwich into them and eat.

You must find tots-on-steroids somewhere. The ones I'm used to are half the size of your thumb when they're still whole. You're not scooping anything up with them.

[Ronald Bryan]

Then you might as well stop involving yourself with children.
The sloppy joes are also the first full on thing I've cooked (adding water or milk to a mix doesn't count) when I had to get a recipe since moving in. And they turned out pretty good, too.

[Gilda Dent]

Then you might as well stop involving yourself with children.

Teenage boys perhaps. It's one of the reasons I prefer the little ones. I've never had this problem with my students, though little ones do tend to be quite a bit more respectful towards adults than teens. It's a big part of the reason I don't teach high school.

[Ronald Bryan]

Did you do them from scratch? Come to think of it, I don't even know what scratch would be. My mother always used Manwich.

No veggie?

[K'Nort]

I'm thinking of those that are about the size of a thumb.

Oh that would work then. I just haven't seen them that big. Especially if you cooked them extra-crispy and broke them in half lengthwise, like boats.

[Gilda Dent]

I haven't had slopppy joes since I was in college.

[Gingold]

My in-laws call Sloppy Joes "barbecue." I think it's a central Pennsylvania thing.

[K'Nort]

My in-laws call Sloppy Joes "barbecue." I think it's a central Pennsylvania thing.

The sloppy joes in the cafeteria here have a much more bbq-y taste than what I grew up with back west, so the recipes could vary by region.

Also, they're the standard thing they sell at fundraiser outdoor cookouts or any other sort of community picnic here. Instead of hamburgers/hotdogs. Which seems really really weird. Safer, I guess. But weird!

[Tadhg]

The real question is Brown Sugar or no Brown Sugar?

[Gingold]

I can't think of any situation where brown sugar wouldn't be preferable.

I know it's about food.

I used my mother's recipe:

1 lb meat
1 tablespoon each: brown sugar, vinegar, worsteshire sause, mustard
1 cup ketchup

[Ronald Bryan]

I also have a recipe for ham barbeque as well.

[Puma]

Those are awesome names!

I've decided to name my hypothetical cats Septimus and Rufus.

Thank you.

Here's a list of my cats through the ages:
Pyewacket - my Mom named him but as he was put in my crib at age 1 year he was MY cat. Tough old tom that didn't take shit from anyone or anything. Lived to be 21.
Kinky - old siamese with issues; again, Mom named this one. Lived to be 14.
Tucker - my first named cat. 26lbs, lived to be 12 (obesity and cats, not a good thing), he was such a Buddha kitty.
Murphy - my little one, lived to be 15.
Precious - named by my husband's ex-girlfriend (long before we were married), lived 15 years. Aggressive minx, think LoTR.
Fergus and Rupert, the current kids, about 2.5 years old.

[Royal]

Rupert's training to be a cagefighter.

Watch for his armbars.

[Deathstroke]

Anyone ever heard this song called "At The Con"?

Check it out from this Myspace link (http://www.myspace.com/possibleoscar)

[Puma]

Rupert's training to be a cagefighter.

Watch for his armbars.

Her armbars. She a bit mixed up and that makes her ferocious.

[howyadoin]

Evenin', fuckers.

Evening, Bastard

hey howy - how's the weather over there?

[howyadoin]

hey howy - how's the weather over there?We were in Gibson's for the weekend, but I'm back home now. Saw plenty of snow since last night.

Still snowing here now. It really looks beautiful.

[morna]

snowed ALL DAY here!!! so so lovely and it still hasn't rained on it and ruined it all

happy happy

[Royal]

I swear. I think Rumblers need a backhand once in a while.

[howyadoin]

snowed ALL DAY here!!! so so lovely and it still hasn't rained on it and ruined it all

happy happyI hear that.

Another nice thing is that there's a lot less traffic on the street outside.

[Ronald Bryan]

The Fountain's a weepy movie.

[morna]

yeah! I must say Victoria has done a great job of dealing with the streets. When the big storm of '96 hit we had one - ONE snowplow. I think we have the same one plus a little fleet of bobcats now and they did the trick. It's quite a storm - this is more snowfall than we got all last year !

[Tadhg]

This Google checkout/Buy.com deal is like the awesomest thing to happen to online shopping.

[howyadoin]

Hey, I think Apodaca and I got into an argument here awhile ago about which was better.

I've always heard about both, but that Fatburger was the way to go, and it is. I think there are fewer Fatburger locations, though.

Fatburger's chilli cheese fries are insane...in a good way.

And yeah, In N Out's fries always seem like they're stale to me for some reason.Never been to an In Nout, but I've recently tried the Fatburger here, and it's freakin' fantastic.

*sigh* See, that's why I wish I was a guy sometimes. Guys have "real fun", whereas if a bunch of girls rented a cabin, it would just be a boring "lets experience nature" kind of deal, and neverending giggle fest over things they bought at the local shop. Girl "fun" is boring.It wasn't just the guys; there were wenches as well.

And lots of drinking and good music.

[Matt Algren]

Teenage boys perhaps. It's one of the reasons I prefer the little ones. I've never had this problem with my students, though little ones do tend to be quite a bit more respectful towards adults than teens. It's a big part of the reason I don't teach high school.Well, context is important too. To your students, you're an authority figure, taking the place of their parents for most of the day. Especially with the first couple grades, you're the lady who has all the answers and knows everything.

There's a big difference between that and your wife's brothers. You aren't their parent or taking the symbolic place of their parents.You are presented, to some extent and whether you like it or not, as a peer by way of your their sister's relationship with you. Your relationship with her and their relationship with her links the three of you. They're acknowledging that link.

I suppose you could press the issue and cause bad blood and create problems and drama in the future, or you could take this for what it is: Teenage boys accepting you as a member of their family and using a term of some endearment to relate to you in a more affectionate way. This is a good thing.

[Jack Zodiac]

It wasn't just the guys; there were wenches as well.

Did you go drinking with pirates? Fuckin' awesome.

[Chris Nowlin]

It's the same here, except that there's no snow and it's fairly sunny. It hasn't been particularly warm the last couple days though. Today I even decided to wear pants instead of shorts.

[Jeff Brady]

Bret, how's the water situation?

[howyadoin]

Bret, how's the water situation?Tap water's still not drinkable, but it's a lot less cloudy than it was a few days ago. Supposedly they'll be lifting the boil water advisory soon.

And it's easy to get bottled water again. Unlike last weekend, when every store in the city ran out inside of 8 hours.

[Spike-X]

Hey Spike, what was the Epson model you said you had?
Photo Colour Stylus thingy R230.

And, because you might have missed it the first time I asked, are you interested in an unreleased Whiskeytown album?

[howyadoin]

Photo Colour Stylus thingy R230.Ah, gotcha. I just bought an R320 tonight. On sale, plus there were two rebates. All in all, it'll cost me the same as just refilling the ink cartridges in my old (streaky) 820.
And, because you might have missed it the first time I asked, are you interested in an unreleased Whiskeytown album?Definitely. What's the scoop on it?

[howyadoin]

Oy, guud evenin everyone.

Oooh, I dunno. Just regular stuff, nothing out of control.

[Spike-X]

Definitely. What's the scoop on it?

Don't know the full details, just that it's supposed to be a full album they didn't release for some reason. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it includes an almost note-for-note cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams'. Apart from that, though, what I've heard sounds pretty good.

[howyadoin]

Oooh, I dunno. Just regular stuff, nothing out of control.

How is Howya doin?

~BeefyDoin' well, thanks. Just got back tonight from a party weekend for a friend of mine.

I'm pretty sure it's not the avatar.

[The Grand Beef]

Doin' well, thanks. Just got back tonight from a party weekend for a friend of mine.

Exafuckinlent.

I wish I could say the same, but I totally dorked up last night. I was planning on:

1.) Hitting up a buddies house to play some buzzed Halo with a group of about 12 people, then taking off before it got too geeklame to...
2.) Bar downtown where some (from what I've heard) kickass flamenco band was playing for a couple hours, then...
3.) Arrive at a friends party and finish off the night with more alcohol, Other Substances and sexual energyies and sleep off the after-effects Sunday morning before heading into work.

But what happened? I drank too much at #1, realized I couldn't drive, and then when I got sober enough to where I could ended up just heading home and crashing.

LAME.

But, hey, there's always next weekend.

But, I'm glad you, at least, had a kickass weekend.

~Beefy

[howyadoin]

You shoulda left the car home and skipped the Halo altogether.

[The Grand Beef]

You shoulda left the car home and skipped the Halo altogether.

I know, I really should have, but I hadn't seen the Halo-friend in weeks, and I felt bad, so I had to stop by. And who can say no to a friends offered brewskies. Then the chant, of "just one more game!" as I proclaim my need to take off.

It just happened. Looking back, I should have just skipped it and hooked up with the dude this week sometime. But I wasn't thinking about that then, I was just wanting to enjoy my weekend, but I ended up enjoying it took quick.

What made it worse is when I finally got home, I got a drunken voicemail from the friends at the kewl party asking me to be there and stuff which made it extra worse.

But, there's always forever. Like I said, I'll make up for it.

But, anyway. Sunday night, tomorrow is Monday, ugh. But its just a day. No biggie. It is possible to inject Good Times into Mondays, despite its reputation.

~Richie!

[Sanagi]

But what happened? I drank too much at #1, realized I couldn't drive, and then when I got sober enough to where I could ended up just heading home and crashing.
It took me a second to figure out what you meant by "crashing" in that sentence...

[Chris Nowlin]

I'm pretty sure it's not the avatar.


I agree. I didn't know I could get so worked up over the friendly exchange of ideas on a comic book forum. I never used to understand the people that did. Now I do. Geez, I should be in bed already. Have to wake up at 7 to teach in the morning.

But now I need to drink a Coke and read a comic.

[Chris Nowlin]

It took me a second to figure out what you meant by "crashing" in that sentence...

I also did a double take. Was about to check he was okay when I read it better.

[howyadoin]

But, anyway. Sunday night, tomorrow is Monday, ugh. But its just a day. No biggie. It is possible to inject Good Times into Mondays, despite its reputation.Absolutely. I took tomorrow off, so I'll be focusing mainly on sleeping in, and art.

And maybe a nap.

[The Grand Beef]

It took me a second to figure out what you meant by "crashing" in that sentence...

Oh craps, haha. I didn't even realize I typed that word, in that context. WHOOPS. Yeah, I didn't crash my vehicle, I crashed on my damned bed and passed out.

Absolutely. I took tomorrow off, so I'll be focusing mainly on sleeping in, and art.

And maybe a nap.

Haha, awesome. I need to do freelance-something so I can do that. This rat race shit is for the burds.

~Beefy!

[howyadoin]

Haha, awesome. I need to do freelance-something so I can do that. This rat race shit is for the burds.You are so right. Seizing control of your own life is definitely the answer.

And on that note... goodnight CBR, whever you are.

[Chris Nowlin]

Night howya!

[The Grand Beef]

Yeah, whoa, when did it turn into 4AM?! Damn.

I should slide under the covers and pass out. I think thats what I'll do. Its been real CBR. Peace and good vibes are being sent your way, through my magic fingers which I wiggle with delight.

Later folksies,
~Richie!

[Chris Nowlin]

I'm 3 hours behind you and I should've been out an hour ago. Good night.

I DID IT! I beat Darius in Need For Speed: Carbon! Nobody bothered to bloody tell me the points you make in the first round are deducted in a countdown mode in the second round. So if your countdown reaches zero before you reach the finish line, you lose.

It is so hard to do your job when you don't even know if you will have a job tomorrow. Seriously I wish they would just file the Chapter 7 today, instead of continuing to drag it out.


Well I go the call this morning I have a 3rd interview now at the exchange, this time to meet the CTO and get a final say-so from him.

So I may have a new job as of tomorrow, and the way things are going, with the month severance and practically an entire pay period before the bankruptcy is filed, I should be getting 3 weeks of pay in one!

[jessecuster3]

Aw... you missed me!


I actually wasn't on as well, all the CoH talk got me playing it again, and my time here is going to gradually shrink, I have a feeling.

Morning people.

Third day in a row with no paper. Third day I called to have them re-deliver (which of course, they don't). Finally spoke to a customer service rep, got the usual promise "the carrier and route manager are being notified and you will receive your paper shortly". BULLSHIT. I live on the main road, I have a newspaper tube with the paper's name on it, and I've been getting this paper for five years. Every frickin' time the regular carrier goes on vacation/is sick/quits, this shit happens and do they credit my account? no.

I don't feel right in the a.m. without my paper!

can you seriously mess with that asshole who's been playing with your accounts?
I like the way you think.

I've worked with (and for) a few losers.

I noticed that.

The sad thing is, if it's to be taken seriously, it has progeny out there somewhere.

I wish I would've went to see Casino Royale opening night.

Seven. And it was very explicit in last night's posts about what values it wants to instill in them. Its 5 year old daughter can already use a gun so she can take what she wants and let noone get in her way.

Y'think we could talk Matt into retiring that avatar? What with this one and the last one, that shot's starting to give me the shakes now.

I'm finding myself prejudging people who use it.

Cheesecake Factory?

My folks got two at Sam's for the feast and I took a couple pieces home with me. Sadly, it didn't MAKE it until this morning.

Don't thank me yet. i decided not to report it.

Been too long since we had a good thrashing around here.

Come on hint at a thread for me !


Is it someone with extraordinary vision ?

[i_mmmchocolate]

I've never had pumpkin cheesecake-- but I'd be up to trying it sometime.

I bought a wafflemaker today.

Converge & Curefreak both used that avatar. I'm against retiring it since we've gotten a pattern. Now we automatically know who to ignore.

[Ed Cunard]

Oops.

Coulter; someone with a huge sense of superiority.

[Typo Lad]

I so want to make an argument based on how he views people and the fact he has a teenage daughter, but that would be a violation of everything I stand for,

YOu do it Jeff.

[Chris Nowlin]

ann coulter.

Which became
"How genocide benefits us and why we should engage in it more often."

____________Oops.

That is an efficient system.

If we come across another troll, can the admins just automatically change the avatar? Is that possible? It's like a stage before banning.

I was tempted, but I don't think it's right to bring kids into it. That said, though...

Nah. I can't even do it in jest, tempting as it is. And by "in jest," I mean "in public."

[jessecuster3]

I knew it was a matter of time. I still say it is Curefreak just on meds.

[Chris Nowlin]

Awww, I got a post deleted. I think that's my first. Does that mean Brian's mad at me? I try to be good.

You clearly have the same sick mind I do.

[Ed Cunard]

Seriously, I should put it on ignore, because if I don't, it'll stay around and I'll get banned for not listening to Cronin's directive.

[Typo Lad]

Awww, I got a post deleted. I think that's my first. Does that mean Brian's mad at me? I try to be good.
Naw, it means he's mad at me. He deletes posts at random when we tiff.

I'M SORRY BABY, DON'T BE MAD!

[i_mmmchocolate]

Awww, I got a post deleted. I think that's my first. Does that mean Brian's mad at me? I try to be good.
It could be anything. I didn't see the post, but maybe someone reported as a bad post, or maybe you made a personal insult at someone, or maybe he deleted a few that were completely off topic. Etc etc.

[Ed Cunard]

You clearly have the same sick mind I do.

Oh, no. No, no, no. You're one of the people I'm holding my tongue for. I'd hate for you to think less of me.

I mean, if it were possible for you to do so.

[Puma]

nah, 'freak claimed to be 36 - this person says he's 27 (with 7 kids? ) *shudder*

[Typo Lad]

GHA!

Cronin changed his avatar!

Mommy make the badness stop

[Typo Lad]

"Remember folks, no means no. And a ballgag means they can't say no!"

[jessecuster3]

Yeah because I couldn't all of a sudden say I am a 17 year old girl, and while I may act like one, you would never know the difference.

[Typo Lad]

Oh, no. No, no, no. You're one of the people I'm holding my tongue for. I'd hate for you to think less of me.

I mean, if it were possible for you to do so.
There is no answer I can give to this that will not be hurtful to you.

Yet I'm restraining myself anyway.

Kind of easy with three wives.

So you'd just change your SN?

It's well established that this poster is too familiar with the rules of grammar.

But both using the Joker avatar? Doesn't that make you believe in the supernatural, Jeffrey? What if there are no coincidences?

[Puma]

I'm willing to say that if 'freak suffered multiple personalities than maybe, just maybe, he's back as a pompous ass but the topics-sentence structure- and style (such as it is) would be too much work for 'freak to maintain. C'mon, that guy was unbalanced.
