Her hair is awful though. Why is it all swept to one side? I did that when I was 7.

― KitCat, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

consensus on that dress: she looked like a mermaid and her hair was too flat. me: what's wrong with mermaids? i wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating kelp.

You mean the "protect yourself from identity theft" ones?

No, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra ads where someone's head is replaced with some type of instrument. I think the line is "The experience stays with you" or something to that effect.

OMGOMGOMOMG those are so SCARY! I hate those!

I'm out to take my kitten to the vet, but just let me say that Jennifer Hudson is bangin.

x-post

I want all of them to post in my room.

I love GP's dress. It's kind of Art Decco looking, all vintage and interesting. I'm okay with her hair, too, but that's probably because I like the dress so much. She looks better than Scarlett J. did. Dang.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I like that dress, and Sarah, you're one of the only people I know who could wear it! I don't think the hair/lipstick/jewelry were combined to best effect, though.

I like the CSO ads -- I mean they're just so weird. Not every day I see something that shakes up my commute with a dash of the surreal and unsettling.

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, BTW we watched The Prestige this weekend and it was one of the better movies I've seen in a while. Not going to change anyone's life but really good as a piece of entertainment.

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I would take a picture of them if I had a camera. Then everyone can share in the sheer awesomeness of them.

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Who are you, Ivan?

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Because this is a new board and people have different names and stuff.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

it was cameron diaz i thought looked like a mermaid, dress-wise--when she walked, her dress looked like a tail the way it flared out, and it looked odd.

gwyneth paltrow looked good (i thought her hair looked fine!) but i wasn't sure about that dress. it's interesting more than flattering.

― JuliaA, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, here they are!

The last three pictures

I'm just some dude who is wasting time before my next class.

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, weird, I've never seen those before. It reminds me of this

Did you post before? Do you live in Chicago? Will you be our friend?

I really wish there were one with just a sousaphone bell coming straight up out of someone's neck. But a sousaphone is not so much a symphony orchestra instrument.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I suppose the french horn one is kind of like that, but I mean just the bell.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Did you post before? Do you live in Chicago? Will you be our friend?

I've been posting for a few months, but at a rather low frequency. The last Chicago (I do live here) thread I posted in, I was bitching about being 19 and not being able to go to 21+ shows.

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, 19.

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

OH okay. Hello!

Is your real name Ivan? I've always liked that name a lot.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

It is.

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I am listening to a song called "Nineteen" right now. It's by this band Harlem Shakes that my friend N8 told me about, and their debut EP is pretty damn good. Sort of complex pop, I'm sure there's a lot of references to make but I don't feel like it.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Although they were on tour with Deerhoof, so there you go.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

At first I read N8 as "innate."

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I am a dumb-dumb and left my headphones at home. I have another pair here, but they have a tag that says "THE WIRE ON THESE HEADPHONES IS TOXIC, WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER USING" that frankly makes me not want to touch them at all. Shame, I was going to see if there were any Patrick Wolf mp3s floating around, since he seems like someone I'd like (although I seem to remember hearing an album from a couple years ago that didn't strike me at all).

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, I'm trying to plan my week a little bit. Do any of you feel like doing the trivia thing again? Just curious.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

That's an odd note to find on a pair of headphones.

I read N8 as "innate," too. So much so that it didn't even occur to me that I might be wrong until Nick's post.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

INNATE DAWG

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

"THE WIRE ON THESE HEADPHONES IS TOXIC, WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER USING"

doesn't this seem a little... odd?

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, I'm trying to plan my week a little bit. Do any of you feel like doing the trivia thing again? Just curious.

Maaaybe. Although I was talking to Jeremy, the alpha-male of What's That On Your Forehead? (the winning team last week), and he said that he does trivia at the Schoolyard Tavern at Southport and School every Tuesday. He says the trivia there is harder and/or more complex (sample question: Of these 10 monarchs, name a year within their reign.) -- but I'm curious enough that I'd like to try it out sometime.

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan are you referring to Galway Arms trivia? R U hooked on trivia?

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

who makes poisonous headphones? and wherefore would they do such a dastardly thing?

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, here's what it actually says (I picked it up with a napkin so I could read it):

"California Proposition 65"
The coated electrical wire of this product contains a substance known to the state of California to be a carcinogen or reproductive toxicant.

Wash Hands After Handling

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

OH those silly Californians! Just don't chew on it. You'll be fine.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

If you DO chew on it, wash mouth after chewing.

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

phtalates

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Galway Arms, I R not quite hooked, but if other people are up for it I'll gladly go.

I'd be interested in checking out the other game, too, but I can't this week (Red Wings v. Blackhawks tomorrow, if anyone's interested).

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

oops, I meant phthalates

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel light-headed.

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

hypochondriacs shout NOT have poisonous headphones.

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to do trivia somewhere near my house.

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I completely forgot until now: how long has there been a second Sultan's Market? It's across the street from Galway Arms and north about 2 blocks. I noticed it on my way home last week. Anyone been there?

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

phthalates

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Huh, Schoolyard is apparently a "Marquette bar" -- was Julia aware of this?

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Phthalates are also frequently used in nail polish, fishing lures, adhesives, caulk, paint pigments, and sex toys made of so-called "jelly rubber." Some vendors of jelly rubber sex toys advise covering them in condoms when used internally, due to the possible health risks. The Dutch office of Greenpeace UK sought to encourage the European Union to ban sex toys that contained phthalates.

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Phthalates are controversial because high doses of many phthalates have shown hormonal activity in rodent studies. Studies on rodents involving large amounts of phthalates have shown damage to the liver, the kidneys, the lungs and the developing testes.

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

the developing testes

Look out, John!
