RITA's XLII: For the Turnstiles

[Pól Rua]

what have you done lately with fire, fire munkey?

I had birthday fire on my fake birthday.
We cooked marshmallows and busted arse furniture we were sick of cluttering up my friend's back shed.
And stuff.

When the furniture ran out, we gave offerings of stuff to the fire gods.

[Matt Algren]

I think she lacks a cock.
I'm not sure that vagina punching is allowed.

[Slam_Bradley]

To be honest, I don't really get that, either. If you genuinely enjoy it, then where's the guilt coming from?


The guilt comes from betraying your elitist cred.

[Ray R.]

Rita's, usually.

Brilliant.

[Pól Rua]

I think she lacks a cock.

Dammit! Those wily females and their cockless ways!

[Guapo Méndez]

Oh crap.

I somehow got confused at the c-store and thought of sarsaparilla as a variation on ginger ale instead of as a variation on root beer and I've just mixed it with bourbon.

I'm afraid to drink it.

Somewhere in the net, there is a cat that's going "Drink it! Drink it!"

[Puma]

how can I waste these last fifteen minutes before leaving to go home?

[howyadoin]

Rita's, usually.
Brilliant.Hah. Yes indeed.

[Pól Rua]

how can I waste these last fifteen minutes before leaving to go home?

Fire!




.

[Puma]

Fire!




.

that's an idea...

but then there'd be forms that need to be filled out, bodies to be identified, new identity to be created...

I think I'll just try and find out if Guapo is correct.

[Typo Lad]

I'm not sure that vagina punching is allowed.

Depends how drunk I can get her.

[Royal]

Hm, which Jason Statham movie should I watch first? Ideas?

I'd go with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," followed by "Snatch."

Only things I've enjoyed him in, really. I think I fell asleep during separate viewings of "The Italian Job" and "The Transporter." Maybe I was just tired.

Everybody misses Mean Machine.

[Ray R.]

Everybody misses Mean Machine.

Isn't that the soccer version of the "The Longest Yard"?

I'm guessing Vinnie Jones was in it. Just a wild guess.

EDIT: It appears he STARS. Color me surprised.

[Jeff Brady]

So apparently some guy got arrested a few years ago because he and his friends were just standing and talking on the corner of 42nd and 7th, blocking pedestrians.

Now, I'm against police abusing their power, but boy do I find it hard to sympathize with this guy. I wouldn't mind at all if the cops started handing out tickets to the slack-jawed yo-yos who keep blocking the damn crosswalk when I'm trying to cross the street.

Once there was this young woman who insisted on having an entire conversation about these sexy heels she bought at Macy's and oh my god this really cute shirt she found at H&M. 5:45pm. Herald Square. The 33rd street entrance to the MTA and the PATH. This conversation was so vital she stood there for more than three minutes talking about her cute shirt or whatever. Until this huge guy bumps into her and asks her to get the fuck out the way, bitch. And then she clambers out of the way and proceed to bitch to her girlfriend about how rude some guy was to her for no reason.

These stories give me joy.

Pumpkin is ALWAYS first for me. Mom didn't make any last year, and I just about cried.

Wow, you ARE gay.

Brilliant.

For Ed:

He's a pretty sharp customer!

Wow, you ARE gay.I just asked which Jason Statham movie I should watch.

Duh.

Ah, papers. Fun stuff.

Hi guys!

[Rallura]

Hey Gus,
how are you?

[Puma]

hubby is watching Young Indiana Jones, I can't take it so I'm back in the office.

[StarsAndGarters]

Hey Gus,
how are you?

Hi! I'm good. I'm in California for the weekend with my folks. Tomorrow I'm hanging out with some old friends from school and the next day is a meeting for this investment thing my cousins are doing. My grandpa is teaching us about it.

How is life with you guys? Has BB found a new job?

[Rallura]

hubby is watching Young Indiana Jones, I can't take it so I'm back in the office.

We're playing

We're doing alright.
BB's starting work

We just stopeed mucking

Yay! Glad to hear it. I applied to work at a bank but it never went anywhere. I hope he finds it fulfilling.

Ah beating people up. Has Kristen mentioned we're playing the LotR game online? It's fun.

[Puma]

No it's some young kid.

My roommate is playing Zelda 2. A guy advised him, "If all else fails, use fire."

I thought of Pol, who would have suggested using fire first

[Royal]

Is burning discs this bothersome?

*sigh*

[howyadoin]

Bought the first season of WKRP tonight.


I'm predicting I'll be finished before the weekend's out.

[Tadhg]

I'm debating whether to buy the Pioneer Pure Malt Speakers or not. Curse them for making incredibly awesome consumer electronics.

[howyadoin]

I'm debating whether to buy the Pioneer Pure Malt Speakers or not. Curse them for making incredibly awesome consumer electronics.Do they have Scotch in them?

[Tadhg]

Do they have Scotch in them?

Sadly, no. But they use a retired whiskey barrel for each pair of speakers and it's complete solid hardwood construction, no particle board.

[howyadoin]

Sadly, no. But they use a retired whiskey barrel for each pair of speakers and it's complete solid hardwood construction, no particle board.I was almost sold on the idea till I saw it was Suntory whiskey.

[howyadoin]

Seconded. My girl bought me a bottle for Valentines Day, its still 3/4ths full.Yeah, I've had a bottle for several years now, and so far I've poured one drink.

Which I couldn't finish.

Schnauzer is a good word.

Coffee shops make great study environments. Why can't they make a great study environment out of a place that serves things I eat/drink

Weeeeeeeee! I'm memetic!

[jessecuster3]

jesse's a damn good scrabble player, he'll make you work your ass off.

Thanks. I am afraid Ed is going to come back and beat me in another one, I have a 30 point lead and all vowels there, too, for the last 3 turns.

[jessecuster3]

That's really catchy. Love the horns.

The whole CD sounds like that, its probably my favorite CD of the year right now. Every song is like a party I wish I was invited to.

[howyadoin]

Well I don't intend to lick the speaker housing.Colour me disillusioned.

It's actually a good day.
*tacklehugs*

Howdy, Rally.

[Pól Rua]

Chicken apple sausages
are good.


I understand all three of those words, but I don't know why they are together.
I just hope chicken apples aren't the same as horse apples.
maybe.

[howyadoin]

The whole CD sounds like that, its probably my favorite CD of the year right now. Every song is like a party I wish I was invited to.I'm gonna have to check them out.

And in the meantime:

Well, in that case, I declare 'Wahey!' upon the situation.
Wahey!

[Rallura]

Howdy, Rally.

Hey howya.


I understand all three of those words, but I don't know why they are together.
I just hope chicken apples aren't the same as horse apples.
maybe.

It's painful at first
to think of sausage without pork
but,
the Trader joe's
chicken sausages
are pretty darn good.

[howyadoin]

Hey howya.


Always a pleasure to see ya. How've you been?

[Rallura]

Always a pleasure to see ya. How've you been?

Good to see you too.
I didn't mean to be gone so long,
but I got overwhelmed with life.
But like I said,
it's a good day.
How have you been?

[howyadoin]

Good to see you too.
I didn't mean to be gone so long,
but I got overwhelmed with life.
But like I said,
it's a good day.
How have you been?

Life'll do that. Sometimes all you can do is muddle through it.

Oh, and things are fine here. Busy, busy, busy. Planning a little CBR Vancouver in a couple weeks.

[howyadoin]

Rock 'n' roll:

Ok,
it's been such a good day

[morna]

yo!


... and stuff

[morna]

aww just missed Rally

bye Rally!

[Pól Rua]

Night Rally!

NightRally!
Guess what she does and when!

Oh yeah, you betcha!

[morna]

wellp! a) I just finished a painting and I'm freaking myself out. I can't tell if i'm insane or brilliant.
and...
b) I need a drink

[howyadoin]

Night Rally!See, that just makes me think of the Elvis Costello song.

wellp! a) I just finished a painting and I'm freaking myself out. I can't tell if i'm insane or brilliant. Tease.
and...
b) I need a drinkHmm. Interesting idea.

[Tadhg]

wellp! a) I just finished a painting and I'm freaking myself out. I can't tell if i'm insane or brilliant.
and...
b) I need a drink


I usually find the most appropriate answer to both a) and b) is Yes.

[howyadoin]

Alright, time for a doob and some WKRP.

Later, fuckers.

[morna]

heh heh ya I'm into the wine now. Looks like we could do a drive for 5 if anyone's up for it.

I wish I could show you the painting from today - and the ones from yesterday too. I can, however show you the ones from the last time I came in here and said the same thing... you know, if ya want ta see 'em and all.

[Lance]

if it's not too much trouble for ya.

I like your work.

[Brian Cronin]

I can't believe this thread hasn't been closed yet.

What will that Magneto guy think?!?

-Brian

[morna]

Hey Bri! How the heck are you. It's been ages!


Lance, comin' right up!

[Paul McEnery]

See, that just makes me think of the Elvis Costello song.
.

That's because the two of them are off round Reno with the pitchforks and torches.

[Brian Cronin]

I am well! :)

You can be here for a Rita's closing!

Same scene - different treatment

[Brian Cronin]

They are cool looking, morna!!

-Brian

[morna]

Thanks! I'm kinda freaked out because every piece I do now seems to have a completely different style. My work in glass (the paintings anyway) were always vwery recognisable as my work. I guess I just have to workthrough this with the completely different medium.

[Brian Cronin]

Would you prefer a consistent style?

I like the differing stuff - like Bob Dylan!!

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

I can't believe this thread hasn't been closed yet.

-Brian

Stop making arbitary decisions and locking Rita's every 5000 posts!

Power trip!!!!




morna- that's breathtaking

[Chris Nowlin]

In other news, I finished typing up a study guide for tomorrow's quiz, so I can study it tomorrow and help with Rita's now!

[morna]

yes, but you can always tell it's him. I've no problem with variety but I clearly haven't found my "voice" yet.

[Chris Nowlin]

That is... if there's anybody here.

Hey, there's morna!

[Brian Cronin]

Did you work in any comic references to the study guide?

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

Alright, time for a doob and some WKRP.

Later, fuckers.

You better be on your way back. How do you leave after the 4800 post mark.

You always lecture me on priorities!

[morna]

In other news, I finished typing up a study guide for tomorrow's quiz, so I can study it tomorrow and help with Rita's now!

woo hoo! and I haven't seen much of you either Chris... Though I will admit I haven't been around myself as much lately.


oo and Thanks!!

[Chris Nowlin]

Did you work in any comic references?

-Brian

I would love to have, but this is a quiz I'm taking. I'm unfortunately taking a class this quarter, so don't get to decide what's on the quiz.

[Brian Cronin]

I thought you did both!!

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

You should have still made comic references to yourSELF!

-Brian

[morna]

You better be on your way back. How do you leave after the 4800 post mark.

You always lecture me on priorities!

no shit eh?

internet pope...pfft

[Chris Nowlin]

My tests are actually surprising lacking in comics questions anyway. Coke tends to come up more often.

Though I guess the last final I wrote involved calculating the work Spider-Man did to lower Sandman to the ground, while sand dripped from Sandy's body

[Chris Nowlin]

I thought you did both!!

-Brian

I try to avoid the taking of classes as it can lead to work. This is the first since last fall that I actually plan to really be in. Only because my advisor's teaching it, though. And I try to look good in front of him.

And you're right. I'm adding a Watchmen quote as we speak to the top of my study guide.

[morna]

heh heh sweet!

[Chris Nowlin]

Thanks for continuing to get the list out Brian!

I continue to be enthralled!

[Chris Nowlin]

I actually barely hang out in Rita's these days, at least not compared to my frequency here before. Stupid doing work and stuffs.

[Chris Nowlin]

It's because I have to advance at the end of this quarter. Which involves giving a talk on the research I've been doing then having a commitee quiz me orally on a variety of advanced topics based on courses I took long ago and promptly forgot all about.

Preparing for that is taking away from my Rita's time!

[Chris Nowlin]

I apparently still know how to help hurry Rita's to 5000 though, despite my 30 second handicap Brian doesn't share

[zombie]

From now on, I promise more time in Rita's!

[Brian Cronin]

Watchmen opened with a Bob Dylan quote.

That was cool.

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

Friend on his way over for a glass of whisky with me, but I won't let that distract from this 5000 march

Or crawl, or whatever

[Chris Nowlin]

Watchmen opened with a Bob Dylan quote.

That was cool.

-Brian

From Desolation Row, right?

At midnight all the agents...

[zombie]

It's such a weird feeling when midterms are over with. I'm used to having this pressure telling me that I should be doing something important, but now there's nothing to do.

[Chris Nowlin]

So we noticed that everybody is on facebook now?

Slam, Dr. H, Dreadstar, Ray...

It used to be for young people, but now...

[Brian Cronin]

The list might have some more entries tomorrow. ;)

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

It's such a weird feeling when midterms are over with. I'm used to having this pressure telling me that I should be doing something important, but now there's nothing to do.

You should start trying to understand anything you missed on the previous midterms to make sure you're better prepared for the next ones (or the final).

Or you should focus on getting drunk. That works too

[Tadhg]

I still don't understand Facebook other than I can play Scrabble on it.

[Chris Nowlin]

The list might have some more entries tomorrow. ;)

-Brian

I will be there.

Though I've mostly lost interest in the DC list. You're welcome to focus on Marvel if it saves you time.

[Brian Cronin]

Could Bobby Valentine possibly become the Yankees next manager?

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

Tadgh is my facebook friend now.

Brian...

Mer...

[zombie]

You should start trying to understand anything you missed on the previous midterms to make sure you're better prepared for the next ones (or the final).

The finals are going to cover stuff we learn in the classes after the midterms, so no need to worry about past midterms.

[Tadhg]

I am listening to an Accapella vesion of Creep by Radiohead. I don't know what to think

[Brian Cronin]

I still don't understand Facebook other than I can play Scrabble on it.

That IS pretty cool.

I do not play that online.

I do play chess online, though!!

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

I still don't understand Facebook other than I can play Scrabble on it.

That's all you need to know

[Brian Cronin]

Tadgh is my facebook friend now.

Brian...

Mer...

Aren't I your friend on facebook?

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

That IS pretty cool.

I do not play that online.

I do play chess online, though!!

-Brian

You beat me pretty solidly once.

And then Dread beat me on facebook chess.

I'm not doing so well

[Tadhg]

Could Bobby Valentine possibly become the Yankees next manager?

-Brian

He has a slightly higher probability of becoming the manager than I do. Though I'd take the job for the low, low price of 200k/year.

[Tadhg]

That IS pretty cool.

I do not play that online.

I do play chess online, though!!

-Brian

Is that on Facebook too?

[zombie]

There's Facebook chess? What can't you do on Facebook!

[Chris Nowlin]

Aren't I your friend on facebook?

-Brian

Yeah. So is Mer.

What I meant to say was that that sentence applied to you and Mer and stuffs.

See:

It's like: Brian is my facebook friend now.

The last implied

Tadgh is my facebook friend now.

Brian...

Mer...

[Chris Nowlin]

Is that on Facebook too?

Dread and I played. It has some kinks that were annoying. A bit slow, but convenient because it's turn-based so you don't both have to be focused on it

[Brian Cronin]

Yeah. So is Mer.

What I meant to say was that that sentence applied to you and Mer and stuffs.

See:

It's like: Brian is my facebook friend now.

I gotcha.

-Brian

Anything less than seven million is an insult.

[Chris Nowlin]

See... I make sense

[Tadhg]

Anything less than seven million is an insult.

Hah. I'll manage/GM/sweep the dugout for 250k.

[Tadhg]

See... I make sense

I do not.

You don't have to make sense. Your picture is a cute puppy.

I bet you get away with everything 'cuz of it

[Chris Nowlin]

It's pretty fup how slow this is going

[Brian Cronin]

From Bill Simmons' column, a reader sent in the following: "When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."

[Chris Nowlin]

Mmm... Dalwhinnie

no wait didn't you say that Dread was on it - how old is he.

[Chris Nowlin]

Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."

At least he didn't call him a child-like hitting savant.

[Chris Nowlin]

CBR survivor?

-Brian

Marvel Team-Up survivor in the Spidey forum.

Down to 4 characters.

Been a good 4 months.

Even Slam played

Mar-Vell just went out.

Down to Gargoyle, Kitty, Vision, and Uatu

[morna]

Ray just turned 40.

I don't know how old Dread is. I've heard nothing but exaggerations.

he's probably 26

[Brian Cronin]

Facebook's notifications freak me out.

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

he's probably 26

Nah. I'm the 26 year old. There can't be two of us

Facebook's notifications freak me out.

-Brian

I've become addicted to them.

[Chris Nowlin]

Sorry for multiquoting.

[zombie]

I had one girl add me out of the blue on Facebook because she was looking for new friends to have discussions about Grant Morrison with. It was weird.

[Tadhg]

Nah. I'm the 26 year old. There can't be two of us

I think I'm 26.



I've become addicted to them.

I don't know what they are.

[Chris Nowlin]

I think I'm 26.

Sorry, find your own age.

And tell Michael P to do the same





I don't know what they are.

Click on "home". You'll see what book I just added to my facebook library and who spanked who, etc.

[Brian Cronin]

It just strikes me as odd that I am privy to Person X commenting on Person Y's facebook wall.

Why would anyone need to know that kind of stuff?

-Brian

[morna]

I kinda miss the irritating quotient in Radiohead's music. I've been getting deeply into Amnesiac. It has more highs and lows as far as irritant factor but never goes over the top. I really like the sick twisted stuff. ... and the other end of the scale is my current love - Pyramid song fuck! Fuck! that's gorgeous.

[Brian Cronin]

We've determined that Trix is 28.

-Brian

[Tadhg]

Sorry, find your own age.

And tell Michael P to do the same

If I can share a birthday with my sister-in-law, I can share a year with you. Suck it up.

[Chris Nowlin]

-Brian

When you put it that way, it is odd.

But the wall is public, so it's okay.







I always go and check out the action.

[zombie]

Why would anyone need to know that kind of stuff?

-Brian

I wondered that at first, but now I don't know how anyone can live without knowing that kind of stuff. One of my friends just threw a fish at someone! This is breaking news!

[Tadhg]

We've determined that Trix is 28.

-Brian

I think I'm just going to go back to being 22. I can handle 22.

[Chris Nowlin]

If I can share a birthday with my sister-in-law, I can share a year with you. Suck it up.

I got you beat. I share a birthday with my brother. He's precisely 4 years younger



Is that even English?

No hablo inglis.

[morna]

I think I'm 26.


I know I'm not


I don't know what they are.

Man I sure as heck don'y either



... hey I'm tipsy!

[Chris Nowlin]

I wondered that at first, but now I don't know how anyone can live without knowing that kind of stuff. One of my friends just threw a fish at someone! This is breaking news!

And for me,

Nhat-Quang Nguyen has headbutted Sarah Lam

I needed to know that!

[zombie]

I think I'm just going to go back to being 22. I can handle 22.

And people's comments on, like, MySpace are public, too, but I don't get an actual notification when Guy X comments on Guy Y's profile.

Is there a function where you can keep yourself from appearing on these notification things?

-Brian

[morna]

you totally crack me up Tadhg

this is not a flirt (Gary's looking) I actually laughed out loud

[zombie]

tipsy!

I can't read that word without J-Kwon's song going through my head. I think it's a form of brain cancer.

[Brian Cronin]

Ah, they have SOME guidelines.

News Feed and Mini-Feed will never
publish stories about:

* Pokes
* Messages
* Whose profile you view
* Whose photos you view
* Whose notes you read
* Groups and Events you decline to join
* People you reject as friends
* People you remove from your friends
* Notes and photos you delete

-Brian

[zombie]

And for me,

Nhat-Quang Nguyen has headbutted Sarah Lam

I needed to know that!

Your friends have more interesting names than mine.

[Tadhg]

But I'm 22. You can be 23.

It's a good year. 22 was when I went from 3 jobs to one. Everyday felt like a vacation and I had a pub that I could go to "study"

[Pól Rua]

I had one girl add me out of the blue on Facebook because she was looking for new friends to have discussions about Grant Morrison with. It was weird.
Was she fit?

I think I'm just going to go back to being 22. I can handle 22.
No way, man. 28 rocks!

And oh yeah, I'm multiquoting, baby! Like the wind!

[morna]

I can't read that word without J-Kwon's song going through my head. I think it's a form of brain cancer.

my condolences

[morna]

I think I really like my new painting

-Brian

I... assume so. I'll look

[Pól Rua]

I don't know who J-Kwon is.
*dances*

I'm watching 'Frontline'. Top flight Australian satire. Everyone should watch. Yes.
Alison White is hothothot.
Ask Spike when he comes on. He'll back me up.

[Brian Cronin]

Yeah, you can remove yourself from appearing on them.

That is good to know that they do let you control your privacy.

-Brian

[zombie]

Was she fit?

Actually, yeah. And one of her profile pictures was her pretending to be the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth. She was kind of awesome.

[Pól Rua]

I think I really like my new painting

It's pretty damn good. I like your work. It's not immediately obvious what's going on, but it looks like it should be something, so it kinda taunts your eye into trying to figure it out.
I like that.

I haven't talked to her in a couple weeks. I kept meaning to reply to her last message, but I got busy with school and Thanksgiving, and then forgetting about it. Maybe I'll reply tomorrow finally. I was going to introduce her to Peter Milligan's Rogan Gosh.

[Pól Rua]

Is it about a spunky New York reporter who talks smack to Captain America?

-Brian

No, it's good. It's a behind-the-scenes show about a current affairs program.
Incredibly sharp writing.
It lasted two seasons, but by golly, it's genius stuff.

There were three seasons, and I think they pulled the plug themselves.
(quite possibly because it stopped being a joke - their over the top bits can't compete with what's actually happening on current affairs shows these days).

[Brian Cronin]

So long as you are not a cutie-patootie, Chris.

I like satire. It's a rare critter these days.

nice.

I was thinking that too. In a totally hetero way.

[Tadhg]

Since I've never had this before, do I get a prize for being this Rita's most prolific poster?

I'm loving Reckoner right now

Yup. I like that. Have a beginning a middle and an end, and when it's time to go... go.
As a result, it's still damn good stuff.

That's not my date. She had already left. She went home earlier than me.

Which may have been inappropriate of me, but I wanted to stay and party more and her husband wanted her home.

[Tadhg]

No.

-Brian

I'm glad Torre's leaving you. With that attitude of yours I wouldn't be surprised if Mo and Jorge follow him out. Dick.

[Chris Nowlin]

No.

-Brian

Do I?

Because I think I'm a contender, at least this evening

Wait. So you're cheating on a married woman with a blonde? You really don't half-ass it, do you?

[Chris Nowlin]

He was considerate of his poker buddies though (which is why I had to sub for the dance of course)

It's brilliant.

I once wrote a letter to Sky News explaining to them that Frontline was a parody and not a guide book.
They never responded.
