the penis in question had cum (cummed?) before he could really get into it, and so he was unsure of his abilities

I dunno... I'd call that positive feedback.

I think it's part of the season 2 DVD set. which I have at home, so I should really know for sure.

― horseshoe, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

The episode "Music Jump-Off" which featured Chappelle visiting his old high school, The Duke Ellington School of the Arts, intercut with previously unaired skits and musical performances did not make either DVD set.

:( ?

I got a job at a porn store once, but since I hadn't really looked for a job and didn't really need money, I decided to just look for another job. But a 50% discount on porn would have been nice. And all the interesting people!

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Who pays for porn anymore?

― kenan, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

why wouldn't they include that on the DVD set? bastards!

OK, so igo cars are $6/hour + .50/mile + one-time fee of $75 and $25 annual renewal. There are 3 locations within as many blocks of my house.

Zipcar is $9/hour, includes 125 miles per day, $50 per year. Cheaper in the long run, but their cars are considerably farther away.

I think igo wins.

I just saw this, and it's awes.

hooray salt and pepper!

Ha ha. I look like crap in that picture. We were so so so so so so so fucking cold.

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, nobody contradict me or anything, that's cool.

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Just kidding, I know I have a raw ham head in that photo.

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

that's a great pic!

that was an xpost

― JuliaA, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

You all look fine, except for the blood being driven out of your faces by advanced hypothermia. Except for that, it's cool.

― Laurel, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Who pays for porn anymore?

The porn at the front of the store is just a loss-leader. It's the suction-cupped dildos (and the accompanying service plans) that bring in the real income.

― Eazy, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

service plans?

― JuliaA, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, that FFs photo is fantastic.

― Eazy, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i also am curious about these service plans.

I was just taking the business strategy for Best Buy and applying it to the sex shoppe.

Eazy, what is your 'singing to an iPod' scam exactly?

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Someone signed up a guy I knew in college, let's call him Joe Levine, for a million catalogs and mailing lists, all to be sent to "Joe Levine's Sex Shoppe".

― Eazy, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Eazy, what is your 'singing to an iPod' scam exactly?

Wear headphones, sing a song you love. Onstage, or in a living-room parlor after dinner. You're singing along with the song, but the rest of us only hear your voice or watch you nod during the long instrumental parts.

Folks yesterday kept asking how it's different than karaoke, but when you're watching it, it's an entirely different and very funny thing.

― Eazy, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I do not wish for people to see me doing that. But if I'm up really late and afraid I'll bug the neighbor, I do it.

So we were going to hang onto our apartment for another year because we have too much shit to deal with this year with the wedding and all. But now they want to raise our rent again (not by a huge amount, but it makes the total a little ridiculous) and I'm wondering if it's insane to try and move now.

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, it probably is.

planning a wedding is stressful enough! a rent raise is a pain in the ass, but it seems worth it to postpone moving for a year.

― JuliaA, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I see this all the time in real life. In the office, on the street, esp. at the gym.

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Really? Singing aloud in public is NOT COOL. I thought everyone knew that.

― kenan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

It's insane, Nick. For ex., Ev4n wanted to have a crawfish boil the day after his wedding. Planning a crawfish boil is complicated enough without tossing it on top of a WEDDING. Moving is about twice as insane.

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

nick, if you can pack your shit moving at the end of march isn't too bad. last year i moved in february and it sucked because there was snow all over the sidewalk making moving furniture from the truck to the spiderhole that much more difficult. before that i moved in the beginning of march, at night, and it wasn't so bad. the move before that was the week between xmas and new years. it was single degree weather and windy as hell and me and the woman got into a crankypants arguement.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

There are items in my house that I don't even want to think about moving. Like our couch, and the sideboard (or to me, the thing our TV sits on).

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Really? Singing aloud in public is NOT COOL. I thought everyone knew that.

I KNOW!! And people do this at the library all the time. Kind of missing the point of headphones, if you're simply relaying what you're hearing from your ears through your mouth!

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I figure the arrangement with headphones is, "Don't bother me, I won't bother you."

― kenan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i have a sleeper sofa that weighs roughly 85,000 lbs. and the king sized bed is a bitch to move. in the previous apartment, we had a cast iron bed frame from the 1880's, the siderails alone were hernia inducing and the headboard and the footboard (is that what it's called?) were so awkward and heavy to move.

hire movers.

[Removed Illegal Link] the B96-related project I mentioned when we were originally talking about EZ's singing-with-an-iPod idea:

LUCKY PIERRE SPEAKS URBAN FORMAT RADIO
(2002) Lucky Pierre and over 40 guest performers, artists, friends, and colleagues gathered at a sound studio where radio station B-96 (96.3 FM) “Chicago’s Dance Beat,” was re-recorded live for 24 hours. Listening through headphones, guest performers repeated/interpreted the radio station’s words, music, commercials and DJ banter – all of which were recorded onto CD. At the end of the 24 hours, a 24-volume CD set had accumulated. Portions of this piece have been re-broadcast throughout the United States and Europe.

What Kevin said. HIRE MOVERS. Even if you just hire day laborers (much cheaper--Jenny can tell you how to find them) you're gonna be glad you did.

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that link was illegal because it had an apostrophe in it. At any rate, Here IS that project.

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i've had more luck with hiring movers through craigslist than i have with moving companies. they were cheaper and faster.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Annoying boob-job bleach-blonde way-too-old-to-be-wearing-that woman just spotted my pumpkin seeds and said, "Ooh, can I have some?" "Of course!" "Wait a minute... are these fattening?" Picks up the bag. "Oh, they are!" Waffles for a moment. "Well I'll just have a few."

Eating disorder, anyone?

― kenan, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

We probably won't be moving now.
However:
Do you all think I should question why our landlord is raising our rent? They haven't updated the apartment at all in the three years we've been there, and even refused to install a dishwasher even though the other units in our building have dishwashers. And the other units have an incredibly high turnover rate (I don't think anyone has stayed more than a year in any of the other apts in the time we've been there), meaning we're their only steady residents. It's not so much about the rent increase as it is that I would like them to do some stuff to make the rent increase worth it (like installing a dishwasher).
This will probably just start trouble though.

― n/a, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

They don't have to have a reason, I believe. Every landlord can raise it a certain percentage by law. Inflation and all that crap.

― Jeff, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Nick, do it. These are not unreasonable things. Asking for more money without providing any additional services is. It seems kind of obvious that they are doing it because they see other people in your neighborhood paying more money for places. If they want to make more money that way, they should sell their building.
