No, it's for work. But I'm having way too much fun getting it to say stupid shit.

Although it can say "Jordan C0hen the housekeeper with the really long and barbaric name yaaaaaaay"

― Jordan, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I just read all of my blog posts from 2003. Blah...g.

― jaymc, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't understand "boxcar."

I am now at the office, pulling nighttime emergency sub duty in case anyone doesn't show. Yay.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

"BOXCAR" is apparently what the grandpa in For Better or For Worse says because he's senile now and swears all the time.

― jaymc, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh, alright.

I'm still not sure I get it. Is this some sort of Family Circle type joke?

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure about this guys. B-day drinks for a co-worker are at Blue Agave.

This place may as well have a giant sombrero crowning it; the decor at Blue Agave is nothing if not Mexican-themed kitsch. Be prepared for papier-mache toucans, Mexican flags and banners and Jose Cuervo's name in lights. Literally.

You should be authentic and bring some red hot cheetos with cheese sauce on them.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

that sounds...festive.

― JuliaA, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Amanda, someone posted the comic on a thread somewhere, and its sheer absurdity turned it into a meme. There was some fun had at Dr. Morbius's expense when some people edited all of his posts on the Noise Board (where everyone has admin powers) to say "BOXCAR" at the end.

― jaymc, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

heironymous bosch could not create such fresh hell.

― kenan, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok thank you, that explains it a little more clearly. I am not up on the current meme inventory.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

The DC thread started it. Make THEM have a time out.

― Laurel, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Such smarty pantses over there.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, btw -- I used the ball of pants photo for an extra credit question on my quiz today. They had to write at least 2 sentences about the photo, using at least one adj. and one adv.

Almost everyone described it as a "ball of pants." I should post some of the answers. They're awesome.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

totally plz do that

― kenan, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, wish me luck people. I'm off to drink a margarita as big as my head and sing along to classic rock party anthems. And then I think I may poop out my mouth.

― kenan, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm off to bake shit.

― Jordan, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

1. They absorb around the pyramid of pants.
2. The people usually go to this place. This is a pyramid.
3. This sculpture don't look easy.
4. The boys are impress to see the ugly ball.
5. I'm not sure but the big ball has a lot pants.
6. It is letting us know that we are all in this world together and we are not going anywhere. (this is the bully)
7. A lot of jeans you can create art.
8. Some people do not seem interested in the rare ball.
9. They are curious about how many jeans are in the interesting ball.
10. An enormous ball of jeans represents the ball of problems in the city.
11.This picture looks like big ball full of jeans.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

It is letting us know that we are all in this world together and we are not going anywhere.

That's actually kind of astute. You may have a Dangerous Minds situation on your hands here.

― kenan, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

That's the thing about this dude. He's pretty smart, just cocky and very rude.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Compare that to "The boys are impress to see the ugly ball."

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

HI. I'm late, sorry about that. I was over in the sandbox still, pooping out of my mouth.

― Jesse, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:37 (seventeen years ago) link

idon'tlikethisplace

― Jesse, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:39 (seventeen years ago) link

You'll get used to it.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi guys. It appears that I can log in from home.

Thank you very much, peeps who came out and sat through Logan's Run. It was a good birthday.

― dan m, Saturday, 24 February 2007 08:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks for an interesting b-day! We should do that again.

I went to Lalo's wwhich is apparently a big fat Latino club, primarily, and NOT mostly a tapas place. I got a ride home.

― Jesse, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Dan -- sorry I didn't make it. I got home last night and felt like, after two nights of lots of drinking, I should just stay in. So Kr and I ordered sushi and played Upwords.

― jaymc, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Logan's Run is so bad! I loved it. I had fun at your birthday, too, Dan. For some reason I expected your roommate to be nerdier or something. He's pretty smooth for somebody who plays a lot of Animal Crossing.

― Jenny, Saturday, 24 February 2007 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I was at the Lake Red Line station tonight at around 11 when a black guy barrelled down the stairs and rain into a crowd of people, yelling "Fuck you fucking white people" and other suggestions. Another guy who seemed to know him was chasing him around trying to control him, but he was having was not to be deterred from reminding whitey that this is Black History Month and they should be made to ride in the back of the train. He ran into a group of people standing near the edge of the platform and almost knocked some of them over the edge.

A CTA security person told him to leave, but he just yelled "Fuck you too, you fucking bitch! Fuck you, your mama's white!" (She was black.) He topped off his performance by getting on the escalator, riding it about a quarter of the way up, then falling down to the bottom.

Freezing rain + Chicago style wind = uh-oh.

― Jesse, Sunday, 25 February 2007 06:37 (seventeen years ago) link

― Jesse, Sunday, 25 February 2007 06:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Shit.

Do not not watch this.

[fuck nu-ILX]

― Jesse, Sunday, 25 February 2007 06:41 (seventeen years ago) link

John, when you were talking about the Watts Riots, I was thinking of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia, although Philadelphia did have a big old race riot in 1964, the year before Watts.

― Jenny, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:20 (seventeen years ago) link

No more weather talk. please.

R.I.P. D@n|el_M@rt|n's_iPod: 5/2004-2/2007

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

What happened?

― Jeff, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Old age? I'm not sure. I can't get it to mount, when it does I can only work with it for a short while and then I get the beachball of doom. I managed to get it to "Restore" to the factory settings (wiped all my music and files) and still can't get it to work. My roomie has had 2 of them and says it's the same behavior that happened when his died. So, now I guess I have some decisions to make. If this really is the end, I'm kind of surprised it lasted as long as it did.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

My 3 year old iPod just died too, and so did Justin's!!!!!

What I posted on my blog about this morning:

Holy shit, it's like Mad Max: Beyond Snowglobe out there. I stayed at a friend's house downtown last night and within a two block radius this morning I saw a woman cross-country skiing through the streets, people grilling out in the snow, and a dude in a Mexican wrestling mask driving some half-snowmobile/half-car contraption through the streets wielding a shovel. I seriously expected to see some half-Yet motherfuckers who've already adapted to our new environmental conditions.

― Jordan, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

The rattling and creaking trees are the most worrisome for me. Greensboro's big ice storm of a few years back resulted in several deaths and more injuries. A girl I knew got a half a tree inside of her bathroom via the roof.

The other thing is the fact that it snowed first, then it rained, so the rain had nowhere to drain, so now there are ponds everywhere, especially at curbs where you have to either plunge your foot in or make a dangerous leap into the slipperiness.

xpost - My mom, dad, and brother lived in LA during the Watts riots. My dad was in the awning business and got out of work early when they started.

― Jesse, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't get it to mount, when it does I can only work with it for a short while

Sounds like my prom night.

― jaymc, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish you could all come to my house today and be cooked for, I am in super productive happy making-things mode after yesterday's cleaning & organizing spazz. What a great weekend.

― Laurel, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG JORDAN WE'RE LIKE SISTERS!

In other news (good thing it was my birthday Friday): 8GB Nano get!

It may have a smaller capacity but there's no moving parts, the battery *supposedly* lasts 24 hours, it's so, so much smaller... I'm filling it up right now. I hope this will help me keep from getting stagnated listening to the same things over and over again, because I'll be forced to swap stuff out more often by the small hard drive.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh oh I've had my ipod for 3 years and two months.

― n/a, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, I finally finished reading "Against the Day," after spending about a month and a half with it. In celebration, I went to the library and checked out new stuff to read - pure nonfiction this time.

― n/a, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Plz to recommend books?

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I figured out why I couldn't log in from work: because I am dumb. I had saved the server-generated password in Firefox and not my regular password.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

― chicago kevin, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link
