Seattle! How is it now? Are there jobs? Should I move there?

how weird (but kind of awesome) would it be if a straight-up lurker came to this?

HI DERE

Laurel, you should totally fly over this way again!

hi laurel you seemed like a neat gal

hi Lingbert you seemed like a "interesting" dude

Yeah, the relationship abides but sadly the planned September re-trip to Stl did not. I'm still paying off the other airline ticket, I dunno when I'll be back...but you'll hear from me when I am! I hope for fabulous parties chez lxy and chatter chatter all night on the porch.

Or until I/we are too drunk and no longer make any sense/have attention spans.

laurel,

i'm glad things are going well with the boy, and sorry your september trip didn't / won't happen. maybe you'll come in october instead. for fabulous parties. (no fear, we continue chattering even after we've stopped making sense.)

I was going to go to Washington DC but on second thought, it's so goddamned uptight, I think I'd either be pissed off all the time or just give in and spend years obsessively focused on goals such as moving up the career ladder, buying a condo, and affording my first Beamer or some shit. All of which I don't actually care about.

there but for the grace of god. where is a northwest job (fuck the seahawks though)

Come on out. Something will turn up, certainly.

btw, where we live now is about 4 blocks from the stadiums. Seahawks fans: turn up at 9 am for a 1 pm game, because that's when the bars open. General rowdiness, tire squealing, and yelling from 9 am until noon, when apparently they all pass out in their seats at the game. Mariners fans: turn up at 6 pm for a 7 pm game (because parking is free after 6), apparently do their drinking in the stadium (or maybe they were all crying in their beers at the country bar down the block), then drive meekly home to the eastside.

fuck the seahawks

otm

next time I go to seattle I climb mt wau

Okay, Mr. Mariners' Fan who was pretending to fuck the pig statue across from the stadium by Pyramid Ale - was that necessary? I think perhaps you are a Seahawks' fan in disguise and are looking to give the baseball fans a bad name.

i hate those pigs (and am not a fan of the guy)

this pig, by my work
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1392/532896684_04d0106abd.jpgsings opera and then oinks, every 20 minutes or so. fuck

That pig looks like it's already been roasted. I did not know they made noise - that's horrible.

i would cook and eat that thing with u

Not exactly an animal sacrifice, but I'm having 150 lbs of meat delivered to my office today.

:D Hahahahahaha lxy!

Mmmmm, roasted opera-singing fake pig!

In other news, there is some really awful karaoke with a live band going on somewhere close to us RIGHT NOW. (Plz dude stop trying to sing Talkin' 'Bout My Generation - yr v. bad at it! Also, wtf sort of awful cover band can't play Chuck Berry for shit???)

i like to try to believe we're in the same city at the same time but it can be hard

(so fucking quiet here, we're the loudest for blocks)

(also, if you cooked a rusted iron pig i bet it'd be good)

rusted vitamins and minerals

how long does it oink for? does it sound like a realistic oink?

T, he OiNK joke T, he

lb, it doesn't oink, it sings opera. annoying. you would love it.

it snorts at the end of the song people and it is annoying!

it snorgs

that pig is crazy!

laurel there is a RAGING bud select argument over on time for a drinks thread and I can't help but think you'd have something to say

Hmmm! Do I care about Bud Select?

i dunno do you??? that's the big question!

Pretty sure I've never had it!! I might be going over to the dark side, though, since I had a Modelo Especial the other night and it was pretty good (they were out of Bud).

Does the pig sing the same aria every single time, or does it do random selections?

Mmmmm, dark dark beers mmmmmm.

same "aria"

oh, that's bad.

Once I've found all the tools again, let's dismantle it.

And reassemble it in front of Jergins' house, because I know he would appreciate that.
