Chicago: More Bars in More Places

Poor Burgeron.

You'll get your wonderful, affirming results soon!

grep is a command line utility that was originally written for use with the Unix operating system. Given a list of files or standard input to read, grep searches for lines of text that match one or many regular expressions, and outputs only the matching lines.

= you are the biggest nerd of them all.

Jenny is freaking.

Everyone point and laugh.

Well since you didn't seem to know which version of Word your .docx had been created with, it seemed a logical course of action.

Also, as far as "biggest" nerds go: I ain't in the same ballpark, the same league, or even the same fuckin' sport as the true nerds. You should talk to matttttttttttt sometime.

Jenny, I found yr results online

ATTENTION: Leslie passed the bar. This means that my bar results should be at my house, right now, unless the Chicago postal service decided to throw them into the river. Unfortunately, I will not be home until 8 pm.

I'm going to spend the rest of my work day vomiting in terror, I think.

Also, later during the same conversation, they were putting the housing market into different buying brackets, and the bottom number they through out for the po' folks was $500,000.

this would make me an insect in the pantry of the po' folk.

you guys wtf is going on in that compliment thread

people are not able/willing to accept a compliment? what is the world coming to?!?!

Jenny, If I were you, I would suddenly come down with something and go home and check the mail NOW. (or maybe, like you said, you'll get sick with not knowing anyway)
xposts - oh, ok :-)

I took a hammer to my old secret locked box the other day when we were cleaning out a closet because I had lost the key. GUESS WHAT?! It was just a bunch of crap. I threw almost every last bit of it away. (A dead butterfly? ewwww)

I'm not stressin' about my coworker's comments. I just needed to laugh it off with yous guys. Also, I just found out a few minutes ago that my boss will be out starting now and won't be back until the 15th. YAY!

People are negative nancies.

Hey Katie!

Well, we can’t promise all that, but we can offer you the chance to sit on a jury for a mock trial and receive

PLACE: Melon Shakers under the Dan Ryan viaduct
TIME: 9:00 am until approximately 3 pm. Lunch break included, lunch provided by Melon Shakers.
Each individual will receive $50 as a stipend for their time and active participation.

Amanda, I think I was fairly clear: my whole convo on thread is about comments from STRANGERS, not from anyone I know and like already. With that in mind, yes, that is how I feel.

Melon Shakers?

sounds like a gentlemans club on mannheim out in stone park or something.

But Laurel, I could be a stranger.

Dr. C is great in that thread.

Surely one only gets like 0.05% of their lifetime compliments from strangers? Why would a stranger compliment you?

Actually we should probably keep that discussion to that thread.

Ginuwine's real name is Elgin Baylor Lumpkin.

NUH UH

Lumpkin? What a great name.

I complemented a stranger on his lowrider BMW 2002 the other night. Normally it's not the kind of thing I go out of my way to do but I was passing him on my bike and it was a really cool car, so what the hell.

Elgin Baylor was a basketball player, ne c'est pas?

Do you ever do that thing where you see a stranger who, for example, is wearing the same shirt as you so you say "Hey nice shirt uh huh huh"? That's pretty dumb but kind of unavoidable.

I'd never heard of him, but according to Wikipedia "Elgin Baylor was born in 1934 in Washington, D.C., and was named for his father's favorite watch."

I am so classy I never see anyone wearing what I wear.

At least that's what I tell myself, when in reality I wear what I can tolerate and fit over my ridic shoulders.

Swatch Lumpkin

oh sorry, Swatch Baylor

Genuwine should have changed his last name to PUMPKIN.

I hate it when sales people in clothing stores compliment me because it's so insincere.

Let's see how many ways Sarah can misspell Ginuwine.

Djinnyouwhine

I read this week in the New Yorker that Herb Caen in the SF Chronicle coined the term "beatnik" when On The Road was released the same month that Sputnik was launched. (Lumpkin somehow reminded me of this.)

I think I've taken the few times I've been complimented in a clothing store as genuine (ginuwine).

A stranger complimented me on my Powell's t-shirt recently. He must have been from Portland or something.

elgin baylor was a badass front court player, terrible gm. elgin watches were made in elgin, il. for a while i used to buy them off ebay, then the price got prohibitive but there are some SWANK '30s - 50s model elgins.

1940's deco elgin:
