I admit that I'm thin-skinned, but I don't see why that gives you the right to be an asshole for no good reason.

I found one on craigslist just now for $75, but it included i-trip.

man i wish that killfile worked for ie ;_;

― chicago kevin, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sure you do.

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

cause those louis jagger posts, they're doing a number on me.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess $50 is the going rate, esp. since mine is way used.

My point was not at all about putting blackberry liqueur into Guinnes, but the fact that they thought it was good copy! I mean, the women I know like Guiness and DO NOT order anything because it's "the thing to be seen with."

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I would keep it, enable it for disk use, and have it as a backup hard disk.

― dan m, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

How do I shot disk use?

I used to hang out at O'Toole's when I worked on the boat. But then my drinkenfriend got permanently kicked out because he gave a busser some coke (left a line on the toilet tank). A guy tried to sell me opium outside of there once, too.

Hmmmm... you have a PC, right? That might make it harder, unfortunately. I think the control for turning it on and off is in iTunes. It's pretty sweet if you can get a command-line going, then you can move files onto and off of it pretty easily. You can do that on a Mac really simply.

I wish I was nerdier than I actually am, then I'd know how/if to make this work.

― dan m, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never really been interested in the killfile (not conducive to the spreadsheet LOL), but I am beginning to understand its potential now. I like using ILX to keep me happy and sane while I sit in this quiet cubicle doing work, but I don't like when it riles me up to the point that I find it difficult to do that work. The only reason I haven't dropped this is because people's unwillingness to confront me to directly on any of this is making it really hard to concentrate on anything else.

lol I tell my kitty that she's a kitty. Sometimes I add an intensifier. "You're SUCH a kitty."

― kenan, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

WHO WANTS A KITTY BURRITO?

― Laurel, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

WHO'S A LITTLE FUZZY HEAD? WHO IS!? YOU ARE! YOU ARE A LITTLE FUZZY HEAD!!

(note: I am not always this big a dork with the cat)

― dan m, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I forget to talk to my cats sometimes. I got out of the habit because my main cat (the kitten is the auxiliary cat) is half-deaf.

When I do I alternate between "Who's a good little Kitka? YOU'RE a good little Kitka!" and "You sneaky little motherfucker."

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I should probably stop reloading this thread, huh?

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

John! Just in case you read my "that apology doesn't seem very sincere" comment as conveying real disappointment in a perceived lack of sincerity on your part and that made you feel bad and a little more sensitive to off-handed message board comments then usual, I'm sorry. I was 100% joking, because I could totally tell that you WEREN'T sincerely apologizing for not having watched Office Space in seven years, nor did I think you needed to be. I read your comment as funny (in a "Well, excuuuuuuuse me!" kind of way), and responded in a way that I thought was funny (in a deadpan kind of way), so I'm sorry if I ruined anything.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Reload once more!

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, I totally didn't read your comment in that way!

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, good.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

It was pretty obvious that my apology was insincere, but I wasn't sure if you knew why it was (i.e., Jesse's ongoing frustration with me).

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, our conference got some press time from WBEZ. They interviewed one of the organizers and ran it in the news on Saturday morning, and they taped the conference and are interviewing two of our speakers tomorrow. Neat-o!

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, yeah, I got the joke! I thought it was pretty funny, actually.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

YIKES.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

It took me a second to realize that those weren't Halloween costumes.

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

OH ALSO! I watched The Aristocrats last night and I now love Bob Sagget even more than I did before. The fact that he was being a filthy dirty horrible person was great, but the fact that he seemed amazed by his capacity for utter filth was just adorable.

He remains my "Barf or Bone" choice.

HOWEVER - why did Drew Carey get so skinny? That was disappointing.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I would bet that seeing them in person dressed like that would be disorienting because aren't they like four feet tall or something?

I will say, however, that I appreciate their unwillingness to continue to play up the "We are hot twins who might accidentally start fucking any second!" role in which they were regularly cast as minors. You know, like with the joined-at-the-head gross underaged sultry slattern look.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Was he noticeably skinnier, or was it just that he wasn't wearing his thick glasses?

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I ATE A HALF A BAG OF JELLY BELLIES IN CLASS WITH LESLIE TODAY AND NOW I AM CHATTY ON SUGAR AND WHATEVER CHEMICALS ARE IN JELLY BELLIES.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Goth Olson twins r freaking me out.

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, he wasn't wearing his glass (boo) AND he was noticably slimmer (also boo).

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG John! I saw a discovery or TLC or something special about those girls. It's preeeeeeety kooky.

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I actually just watched the movie a week ago, since Kr hadn't seen it, and I definitely didn't enjoy it as much the second time around, because I *knew* how horribly filthy it was and I shuddered knowing what was coming.

― jaymc, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

did you get my message???

my voicemail!?

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Shit, I meant to type that in an IM, but did it here and pressed send.

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Why did you ask me that here when I'm on IM with you?

― Jenny, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought it was funnier the second time knowing what I was in for, but then I was also really, really high.

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So in theory I should really be able to get into the Black L1ps, but this new live record is leading me to believe not. The recording sounds rather thin and more like something that you "just had to be there" to appreciate.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I just don't think I would want to live their life! I'm sorry, but NO.

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost, obviously.

I'm commenting more on my own attitudes toward life than what the value of their life is. I guess you get used to things, but if I had to choose between being a conjoined twin and death, death would look pretty attractive.

― Jesse, Monday, 5 March 2007 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

This day. I tell ya what. Two people were laid off in my department. Cutbacks. I make little enough that I can stick around. Still, puts the fear of god in you.

Also, I found out that I apparently owe the gas company close to 600 dollars for gas I wasn't using. Three of the months they were billing me for, the building wasn't even there. A-fucking-mazing. Hell will be raised.

― kenan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

RAISE HELL.

I just got a gas bill for the first time in...well I think since before I got back from NO. It's only $123.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 00:44 (seventeen years ago) link

It's 11:30 P.M. Guess what I'm boiling.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 05:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Give up??

Well, I'll tell you--I'm boiling collard greens and smoked pork neck bones! (I'm excited, I think after a lot of turmoil (New Orleans, getting settled back in, family stuff), I'm finally getting back into my nesting groove.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 05:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse, I'm coming over.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 05:37 (seventeen years ago) link

(Ooops. I thought Jenny boiled hers for 1 hour, but Cooks.com say 2 hours. It's gonna be a long, stinky evening. (That's what *he* said, heh, heh.)

― Jesse, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 05:39 (seventeen years ago) link
