He's still learning the songs, so he probably won't make his first appearance on-stage until next month.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Cool, I'll have to come out and see when that happens, I'd like to catch up a little.

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:52 (sixteen years ago) link

I would call him Sn@pple.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link

OMG B3n T@us1g wrote me and solved one of my xwords.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Answer: FIREWOOD.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link

I was going to guess gay porn wrapped in plastic.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Jordan, he said that the clues and fills were "generally quite good" and that he appreciated the "fresh sensibility." He did #3, because it was the first one on my Flickr page but wanted me to direct him to one of the theme puzzles so he could offer some better advice. I think maybe I have to get better with themes if I want to work with him (i.e., sell puzzles to the AV Club).

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Get the maul out, Jesse.

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

that's great!

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

It is in the kitchen charging right now.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

jesse-- is it the fancy new one with UV rays in it?

colette, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link

No. I don't need UV rays.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link

it has UV rays, but you have to wear special sunglasses on your teeth while you use it.

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link

No tanning this winter then, Jesse?

Laurel, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:16 (sixteen years ago) link

My gums are tan enough.

Woot!

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link

colette, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link

That sure beats my vacation to home, where there is like 3 feet of snow already.

Although, I am very excited to go snowshoeing and maybe -boarding.

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't you mean w00t?

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:39 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, what's up with w00t? i've only seen that in blogs where people do annoying mixing of upper and lower cases...so how did that version become the standard?

colette, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:44 (sixteen years ago) link

O I C. I need to put the zeros in there to show a coming together of words and technology. Excuuuuuse me.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

(Or rather "whimsy and new technology")

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

Chicagoans, where can I find a good liquor store with fancy whisky in your town?

Ed, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

http://www.samswine.com/

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Or http://www.binnys.com/

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Last night I was thinking about the Binny's/Foremost location questions from that Globe pub quiz... that was a pretty sweet idea, I gotta say.

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link

I think of that whenever I see a Foremost Liquors. I don't think I'd really noticed them before.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Much obliged.

Ed, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

N & I were at Sam's last night getting vino for his pops.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Wine Discount is very good, very helpful, but only for wine their spirits selection is a bit limited.

Ed, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

I like Foremost because it's the closest place to my house that has harder to find Euro beers like Chouffe as well as a broad selection of micros.

(^the item on there today was my chanukah present from my dad, don't know when i'm going to use it.)

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Ha Ha. Nick specifically asked me not to get him one of those.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I think my dad wants one, I'm not sure.

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link

For all of you who do not look at men's magazines, they were pushing those alot this year.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

(I was browsing through a bunch for ideas at Barnes&noble)

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link
