RITA'S XXXVII: Habits Old and New

[Jared_Humpherys]

It's been moved to Comm.

Oh, you don't mean the Liefeld thread?

Yep, that's what I was referring to. Good lord.

[Tadhg]

Aw. No you don't, ducks. Real things are subject to death and taxes. But the unreal is an unsullied joy forever.

I don't know about the unsullied part.

[Gingold]

I just saw a thread from yesterday that is the most blatant piece of flamebait I've ever seen.

Jesus Christ, why don't you get a neon sign to advertise while you're at it, pal?

And I took the bait. I am so ashamed.

[Jared_Humpherys]

In somewhat related news to the above, I now have a man-crush on Gingold.

[Tadhg]

That thread is delicious and the poor boy needs some defense.

[Jared_Humpherys]

And I took the bait. I am so ashamed.

It's okay. We all have our moments of weakness.

[Jared_Humpherys]

That thread is delicious and the poor boy needs some defense.

He's on the wrong bloody boards for that.

[Jeff Brady]

In somewhat related news to the above, I now have a man-crush on Gingold.

I join you in the man-crushing on Gingold.

[Tadhg]

He's on the wrong bloody boards for that.

I don't know, if I get some bourbon in me...

[Gingold]

Gosh. Is what it feels like to be Matt Damon?

[Tadhg]

Serious Question is Gingold the next Matt Damon?

[Jared_Humpherys]

I don't know, if I get some bourbon in me...

Are you prepared to accept jessecuster3 levels of derision for this guy? I think not.

Cause Liefield is worse than the Star Wars prequels ANY day.

[Jared_Humpherys]

Serious Question is Gingold the next Matt Damon?

Yes.

The "Team America" one.

[jessecuster3]

Are you prepared to accept jessecuster3 levels of derision for this guy? I think not.

Cause Liefield is worse than the Star Wars prequels ANY day.


You do know I am lurking right now, right?

[Jared_Humpherys]

You do know I am lurking right now, right?

I kid because I love.

[Tadhg]

Are you prepared to accept jessecuster3 levels of derision for this guy? I think not.

Cause Liefield is worse than the Star Wars prequels ANY day.

I am fully, fully upfront with my loves of shitty material. Like my deep affection of Azrael.

[Paul McEnery]

Gosh. Is what it feels like to be Matt Damon?

You forgot to include a cat picture.

[darkhanamaru]

hi guys. I just feel like I sprinted for a call that lasted 5 minutes. now time to take a short breather before the next sprint ...


granted i don't know why i call them sprints since they mean five hour burts of nothing but excel...:D

[Michael P]

hi guys. I just feel like I sprinted for a call that lasted 5 minutes. now time to take a short breather before the next sprint ...

Well, if you called them Verizons, that would just be silly.

[Puma]

You forgot to include a cat picture.

that's my job.

Who is this five hour burt of whom you speak? :mad:

[Paul McEnery]

Well, if you called them Verizons, that would just be silly.

That's the opposite.

I spent eight hours doing sweet fa, and now I'm verizoned.

[darkhanamaru]

Who is this five hour burt of whom you speak? :mad:

oops...

sorry


but i have to love excel...it is survival

maybe i'll get a tattoo of a spreadsheet like this guy has the blue screen of death...

Verizons: a portmanteau of horizons and veritas

the things we keep in one's head

[Dom]

I do think Ray's gotten his drooling under control.

Doc still drools up a flood, particularly when reading Wolverine #40

[darkhanamaru]

anyone playing city of heroes tonight?

[Paul McEnery]

Doc still drools up a flood, particularly when reading Wolverine #40

55!

Get it right!

[Forefinger]

anyone playing city of heroes tonight?

I'll play. What level and server are you on?

[Dom]

55!

Get it right!

No I remember, I just think that #40 had stronger sexual undertones. The implicit sexuality in the "snikty-snikt" just drives most lawyers wild.

[Paul McEnery]

No I remember, I just think that #40 had stronger sexual undertones. The implicit sexuality in the "snikty-snikt" just drives most lawyers wild.

I have chills down my back.

[Athena Bast]

Did you notice how she doesn't dance very well at all?

Debbie wasn't a dancer as she admitted she spent weeks trying to learn the dance numbers. Plus, anyone would look poor against the likes of the rubber legs of Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly.

[Tadhg]

No I remember, I just think that #40 had stronger sexual undertones. The implicit sexuality in the "snikty-snikt" just drives most lawyers wild.

I never knew people got that worked up over Silvestri.

[Dom]

I never knew people got that worked up over Silvestri.

Only lawyers.

[darkhanamaru]

I'll play. What level and server are you on?

I am a measly 8 and on victory. i won't be on till later though

[Forefinger]

I am a measly 8 and on victory. i won't be on till later though

I could make a character on Victory. Look me up on the global @Forefinger

I forgot. I have a lvl 14 Tanker on Victory. You could be my sidekick or something.

[darkhanamaru]

I could make a character on Victory. Look me up on the global @Forefinger

k i will fore.

[Rallura]

Well that's the end of that!

You sure told me, that there thing where i wasn't really disagreeing!

EDIT: Holy fuck! I miss vacation!

I sure did tell you,
in that horrid way where
I agreed with what you had said,
but then said something else too!
grr, GRR I say!



Dressing up can be fun. Like going out and being real people for a night.

I don't think real people
is going to apply tonight.
Marilyn's wearing regular clothes,
Scott's wearing his clerical shirt and shorts,
Joane is wearing regular clothes plus
a crown her daughter's making for her,
I'm wearing my wedding dress,
and this is BB

Yes, that is his Legion ring.

God knows what the other three people
will come up with.

[darkhanamaru]

ok, i admit it.

bob sinclar makes me happy.

[Pól Rua]

Thanks for the good wishes and vibes.

Dean headed south as he approached the peninsula, so we're spared the worst of the impact. We'll have tropical storm-type winds all day long.

This is good news.
*continues finger-crossing, just in case*

[Matt Algren]

There is a disappointing number of people at Netflix who don't know how to find subtitles on DVDs, even when it's pretty clearly pointed out.

[Pól Rua]

I don't even want to do that. And now, for something completely different:

Advertising Lullaby
George Carlin...

I'd like to add this one as a companion piece...

Step Right Up - Tom Waits

Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore!
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after sales...
You need perfume? we got perfume, how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar,
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today!
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price, skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it? how do we do it? Volume, volume, turn up the volume!
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down,
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up

That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn... and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up, it's only a dollar, step right up...

'Cause it forges your signature.
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase...
Step right up...
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don't be fooled by cheap imitations,
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it,
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax,
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator,
And it steals your car.
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking,
It's a friend... and it's a companion,
And it's the only product you will ever need.
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, and it is a job
And it strips the phone company free... take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath,
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion,
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks,
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned,
Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis,
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon...
'Cause it's effective, it's defective, it creates household odors,
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection, it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation, no salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot, prizes, prizes, prizes, all work guaranteed
How do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it
We need your business, we're going out of business,
We'll give you the business!
Get on the business end of our going-out-of-business sale
Receive our free brochure, free brochure,
Read the easy-to-follow assembly instructions, batteries not included!
Send before midnight tomorrow, terms available,
Step right up, step right up, step right up

You got it buddy: the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away

Step right up, you can step right up, you can step right up
C'mon step right up

(Get away from me kid, you bother me...)

Step right up, step right up, step right up, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Step right up, you can step right up, c'mon and step right up,
C'mon and step right up

There is a disappointing number of people at Netflix who don't know how to find subtitles on DVDs, even when it's pretty clearly pointed out.

If one can't handle English, perhaps a subtitled movie is a little advanced for one.

[Athena Bast]

Y'all need "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and it's companion book "The Dangerous Book for Boys: Things to do"

[Tadhg]

If one can't handle English, perhaps a subtitled movie is a little advanced for one.

What about us that can't handle English but are too deaf to hear the movie.

[Paul McEnery]

Y'all need "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and it's companion book "The Dangerous Book for Boys: Things to do"

Is "Dangerous Book" a new euphemism for girl bits?

[Pól Rua]

One of my clients, a very popular children's book publisher, has a design team that isn't exactly on the ball.

After a series of proof and changes, and completing the job, they notice a few flaws.

I worked until 11 last night making sure we met their deadline. I walk in, and discover their newest disaster. I just want to walk over there and snap off all of their worthless heads.

This sounds like a sensible response.
Could use more fire, though.

[Paul McEnery]

What about us that can't handle English but are too deaf to hear the movie.

I doubt the subtitles will help all that much.

[Tadhg]

I doubt the subtitles will help all that much.

Can I get you to mime it for me?

[Paul McEnery]

Can I get you to mime it for me?

I'm doing it right this second.

[Tadhg]

Does anyone else picture Paul as Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[Michael P]

Brian Cronin's my hero.

[Athena Bast]

Is "Dangerous Book" a new euphemism for girl bits?

Um... no.. but there is a "Daring Book for Girls".

A Dangerous Book (http://www.amazon.com/Dangerous-Book-Boys-Conn-Iggulden/dp/0061243582/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7194466-9114451?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187743060&sr=8-1)

[Pól Rua]

I don't know about the unsullied part.

Unsullied?
http://www.echonews.com/750/images/monsters_inc_sully.jpg

I don't like the sound of that.

[Athena Bast]

I get a more "Inigo Montoya" (Princess Bride) vibe from him.

Not until just then.

It's always good to have some cheese with your meat.

[Matt Algren]

Check again, it was actually a two record set. What the hell happened to the cassette tape?

I totally would have bought that set if my Mom would've let me. I was in a school where breakdancing was banned because it was just soooo dangerous.

Just hold out your arm. Little more.

[Paul McEnery]

BTW how does a freelancer in porn count as romance????

Freelance is romance.

Porn is romance.

Porn freelance is double team romance.

[Pól Rua]

BTW how does a freelancer in porn count as romance????

Romance in the pants.
Maybe some sort of dance.

Just watch out for the perilous pants-eating plants of France.

[darkhanamaru]

Freelance is romance.

Porn is romance.

Porn freelance is double team romance.

that is an awful lot of cockney

I am in urgent need of some vastly superior narcotics, possibly with hallucinogenic properties and terrible, terrible side effects.

I am in urgent need of some vastly superior narcotics, possibly with hallucinogenic properties and terrible, terrible side effects.

I am in need of food, simple, starchy food. Which my co-workers were suppossed to bring me back. And then forgot. Instead they handed me a half cup of vodka. Bastards.

AHA!

Vodka is made from potatoes, potatoes are starchy.

Law of common...things and such. I'm not a math guy.

[Gingold]

Most women find my cockney intimidating.

There's so much Irish in my family that my cockney is hardly noticeable anymore.

[darkhanamaru]

There's so much Irish in my family that my cockney is hardly noticeable anymore.

yes i am unfortunately familiar with the irish curse

Mind you, there is more to linguistics than how much cockney you bring to the table.

[Pól Rua]

Mind you, there is more to linguistics than how much cockney you bring to the table.

Mmm... cunning...

But aren't you Italian...?
Wouldn't that make you more of a cunning linguini rather than a cunning linguist?

I dunno, I never get that right.
Which is why I'm not allowed to order pasta in restaurants anymore.

You are very kind, but: I did express interest, and was stiffed basically for an interview because of my current employer.

[Alex]

You are too valulable is the biggest load of shit.
It's like when goebbels said they didn't keep women from working and voting because they didn't care about them, but because they care about them.

Here's kind of an amazing story:

There’s a story below and the moral of this story is: keep your master tapes. Whatever you do, keep your master tapes.

It’s the late sixties. Three brothers, Doug, Daryl and Dennis Dragon are living in Malibu, surfing and gigging around the Los Angeles area and having their minds blown by the music of The Beatles, Hendrix and The Doors. The multi-instrumentalist sons of a symphony conductor and an opera singer, the Dragon brothers decide it’s time to create their own psychedelic soul/rock masterpiece. A high school friend of Dennis, Donn Landee, is working as a recording engineer at Sunwest Recording Studios in Hollywood and they begin to go there to put tracks down in “off time” often working from 3am, when they finish their regular gigs, until morning.

They call the sessions “Blue Forces Intelligence,” find themselves layering their instruments in new ways, adding deep, bassy vocal lines and then ramming them up against falsetto harmonies, adding organs and space age sound effects, recording spirituals and pop and crazy rock opera. The effect is increasingly spacey and weird, but also funky – a missing link between new directions others are exploring in jazz and soul as well as rock music.

Unfortunately, the suits at the West Coast offices of the major labels aren’t ready, complaining that they don’t hear a hit. After shopping the record, now called just “BFI”, for a few months, the boys become disillusioned and focus instead on their session work. They all end up working in the Beach Boys’ backing band. Doug moves to Hawaii, tours Australia. Dennis becomes a successful record producer. Daryl hooks up with Toni Tennille and experiences international chart success as “The Captain”. The Dragons’ “BFI” is forgotten.

Jump on 37 years. Strictly Kev/DJ Food, influential mixologist and designer for Ninja Tune and obsessive record collector – picks up a new batch of vinyl from a record dealer he knows. In amongst them is a 500-run private pressing of the soundtrack to a surf movie called “A Sea For Yourself”. On it is a track called “Food For My Soul” by a band called the Dragons. Kev being a fan of all possible food-based puns and currently putting together the mix for his new “Solid Steel” mix cd for Ninja, drops the needle on the groove.

What he finds amazes him – a true psychedelic original from a band he’s never heard of. Using his extensive contacts in the world of vinyl mania, he manages to track Dennis Dragon down. He emails him, asks him if he can include “Food For My Soul” on the mix. Sure, says Dennis. There’s a whole album of the stuff if he’s interested. Dennis checks. Donn still has the master tapes. He converts them to mp3 and emails them to Kev. Kev is blown away. He forwards them to Ninja Tune. Ninja Tune think it’s a scam. But then they listen. And they listen again. And then, after nearly forty years sitting on a recording engineer’s shelf, Ninja Tune decide to release “BFI”.

Beautifully played and produced, full of crazy invention and a loveably naive lack of self-consciousness, “BFI” is a miniature masterpiece, a lost classic of psych-whimsy, West Coast sexiness and serious musical chops. Surely we’re ready by now..?

EBGames only lists XBox360 and PC.

[thespianphryne]

Or I could be completely wrong and be thinking of the people who were merely wishing for it.


-Das

[Agent Helix]

It's PC and 360 only. I don't think it'd be possible for this game to be put on the PS2.

Note: If any of you ever played System Shock 2, it's made by the same guys that did that, and is sort of the long-awaited followup. It uses a lot of the same principles, but it's got the best use of environment I've ever seen in a shooter. I beat the first "boss" by wrenching a tank of Nitrous from the wall with Telekinesis, throwing it at him to knock him backwards, quickly shooting it so that it exploded and set him on fire, then chasing after him as he looked for water to put himself out, then electrocuting him while he was standing knee deep in a pool.

[Spike-X]

One-on-one fighting, or otherwise?

If it's the former, I say Virtua Fighter 5.

Either.

I looked at that one. It looked kind of like a Mortal Kombat type game, though--which is fun, don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for something really technical, maybe even bordering on a simulation game.

Or samurais. I like swordfighting. I rented ONIMUSHA and hated it, though.

GOD OF WAR, while not what I was looking for, was fucking awesome.

[Agent Helix]

Virtua Fighter is a lot more on the technical side than Mortal Kombat. It's PROBABLY the most "technical" of arcade fighters, honestly. Still, there's nothing, to my knowledge, that's been a real martial arts simulation.

[Ed Cunard]

Ok. I trust you guys, so I'll check it out.

Helix is right. Virtua Fighter 5 has the deepest and most realistic combat system of ANY martial arts game, bar none.

[Jared_Humpherys]

Helix: have you gotten into the camera or the inventing stuff yet?

If not, you have even more to look forward to.

[Jared_Humpherys]

Oh wait. VF 5 isn't on PS2, is it? In that case, try VF 4 special edition. It's only $20.

[Wesley Dodds]

I looked at that one. It looked kind of like a Mortal Kombat type game, though--which is fun, don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for something really technical, maybe even bordering on a simulation game.

Virtua Fighter is so deep that you'll never master it. Don't bother.

Soul Caliber 3 and Tekken 5 are better choices for non-insane people and people with girlfriends.

That sounds awesome. I may have to investigate.

[Agent Helix]

I've gotten the camera, and I've earned one Tonic already from using it. Invention I haven't gotten to yet, but I can't wait. I love that I'm able to treat each fight differently, and use the environment and my own brain to my advantage, instead of just running and firing the shotgun at everything.

FUCK. SPIDER. SPLICERS.

Spider Slicers annoy me as well. I throw bees at them.

[jessecuster3]

Yeah that's what I meant, but I think I have to completely install XP so I can format the partitions correctly and then reinstall Ubuntu.


I like the dual boot so I can still play City of Heroes without having to spend an extra $5 a month. Have you tried Songbird yet? I really am getting annoyed with Amarok and want another solution.

Tekken was just way too easy and not technical enough. Soul Caliber, unless I'm mistaken, looked like any other fighting game but with weapons.

I mean, if I just want to wreck shit, I'll play DEF JAM: FIGHT FOR NY. Hip hop soundtrack! Making motherfuckers bleed!

I woke up this morning to my carbon monoxide detector going off. Called 911, two trucks came over, they went through the house...to find my landlord cooking some tomatoes on an antiquated stove in the basement (I'm on the second floor).

He doesn't live here! WTF is he doing cooking down there?

*sigh*

He's always bitching about how we MIGHT be the cause of some problem or another (like a roommate's girlfriend is a stranger and might be a serial murderer, don't you watch the news, the world is going to hell, you can't trust anyone, blah blah blah), and it's never true. Now something happens and it's his damn fault.

Asshole.

I managed to play WoW a few hours yesterday and on monday. I'm amazed that I made more than 500 gold in those days. Quest money reward, sold quest armor/weapons and a few vendored greens (1 in 4 Kyroson keeps. the rest go to my bank character). Really, money pours when you're 70.

I dusted off an old trick: Blacksmithing plans for Storm Gauntlets (http://www.thottbot.com/i12703)(perfect Shammy mail) I can buy from the ghost blacksmith in Caer Darrow (using a trinket) for 5 gold. I put them at the AH for 30g and they sold.

I also tried to raise my Argent Dawn faction (5k from Exalted) and got a Mughtol's Helm (http://www.thottbot.com/i13073), which I auctioned for 40g.

I saw The Essence Focuser (http://www.thottbot.com/i31304)being auctioned for 30g and I snapped it immediately.

Hnh. I was changing lanes fairly quickly on the interstate as I needed to be on the opposite side, and kept flicking it off for a second once I was in each lane. Meg wanted to know why I didn't just leave it on since I was going to be moving again anyway.

Duh. So people don't just figure I'm an idiot who left it on and act according to -that-.

To celebrate, I am going to drive home with my left blinker on all day.

Missed this; happy birthday, Mac!

They're only about $20 for the base product, and VERY easy to install.
Score. I'll have to remind Tadhg about it. I don't mess with the wiring, as I know jackall about it.

Hnh. I was changing lanes fairly quickly on the interstate as I needed to be on the opposite side, and kept flicking it off for a second once I was in each lane. Meg wanted to know why I didn't just leave it on since I was going to be moving again anyway.

Duh. So people don't just figure I'm an idiot who left it on and act according to -that-.

I *always* flick my lane change signal off between lane changes, even if I'm going across two. It's like saying to the folk in the other vehicles: "Yes, I did that. Now I'm doing it AGAIN."

*YOU* could do this. Trust me.

But.. where did it GO? Does it come back up or is it raining salt water somewhere else right now?

That's when it's tempting to throw on some solid shoes and go see what's sitting on the floor of the ocean still a quarter mile out.

... with a lifejacket on, just in case the water came rushing back all of a sudden.

My guess is that it got pulled by what's left of Dean. I'm thinking it'll rush back no later than this week.

Campeche is one of those legendary ports that were attacked by pirates way back when. The forts are impressive to this day.
A few years ago, they pulled a Netherlands and reclaimed about half a square mile from the ocean and built hotels and other buildings, so I hope the sea doesnt' take it out on them.

But yeah, going strolling on the ocean floor is damn tempting.
I remember that, 20-22 years ago, one summer night we were at the beach and the sea retreated about 100-200 yards. You could see boats lying on the moist sand for miles around you. We played futbol, tag, sandball wars for hours.
To this day, I don't know what maritime cataclism caused that. I know I'm damn grateful it wasn't a tsunami prelude, like it was in Indonesia.

He's right. I was able to put ours in, and I'm completely inept.

Hell, I was crossing four. She also looked at me funny for actually staying IN each lane a couple seconds when there was potential space to just zip across.

Hmm. Maybe I'll go pick one up and surprise him by having it done when he gets home. ^_^

Don't forget to turn off the circuit breaker.
