Chevy Chase, Md.: It's all well and good to be prepared for a robot attack, but after reading Scooter Libby's novel, "The Apprentice," I'm convinced a more pressing threat to humanity is bear rape...

haha that discussion is great!

[i]We have been discussing robot bears during this session, and I would be remiss if I failed to mention that robot-bear-rape could be on the horizon.

Sadly, I forgot to include this chapter in my book. If you are mounted by a robotic bear, try to slip on an anti-static bracelet and tie it to a metal bedpost.[/i]

It actually took me a moment to figure out what that meant, ally!

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

― ZR (teenagequiet), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

More drug slang.

So when/where are we having the CELEBRATORY n/a IN ARLINGTON FOR XMAS FAP?

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks to recent develops at work, I will not, in fact, be traveling to Birmingham, AL and will, in fact, be here in DC all of December and January. So yeah, bring on some holiday cheer!

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

nick thinks he can just barge into OUR CITY thread! fuck that!

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:05 (eighteen years ago) link

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Recovering from last weekend in NYC! Seeing the premiere of a friend's new movie. And testing red wines.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Plus Johnny Cash.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

is "testing red wines" drug slang?

Also, I still don't know what the fuck the title of this thread means.

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I may also be testing some sesame noodles, now that everyone's gotten me in the mood. And the last of the toasted pumpkin seeds from Halloween.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

it's drug slang.

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

movie premiere?

I don't have anything to do this weekend except project to insulate windows & floorboards of my freezing cold back bedroom in old DC rowhouse..

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

that is important!

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I suppose I should do something about these "storm window" things we seem to have--our place is way chilly.

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:22 (eighteen years ago) link

i have to: create wedding invitations, go shopping for a suit, go to some stores and register for shit because when you try to register online they only let you pick certain items (WTF?!), winter-proof my apartment because it's freezing downstairs and we're gonna be paying $200+ in gas bills anyway.

my weekend sucks. i better have a beer or several tonight.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't forget to register for the big-ass grill.

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

oh Johnny Cash!

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Mookie, let me know how the suit-shopping goes; there's some of that in my future. No registration or invitations, fortunately.

We haven't gotten a gas bill since we moved in; either the landlord's been paying it or there's gonna be a five-figure reckoning someday.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i have no room for a big-ass grill. actually, everything we would want is either like a $5 wooden spoon or a king-size bed, so registering isn't helping us much.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:30 (eighteen years ago) link

What else does one do to winter-proof freezing DC rowhouse? I got one of those window insulation kits, and some sealing stuff.. the whole house needs window insulation but I'm not paying for all those myself..

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, I still don't know what the fuck the title of this thread means.

This has one of the greatest totally nonsense DC chase scenes ever filmed. Also, Costner spends 90% of the movie in Navy dress whites.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

haha I know what I'm renting this weekend!

― quincie, Friday, 18 November 2005 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

avert your eyes when they take a cab!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:59 (eighteen years ago) link

is that really how you ?

― carly (carly), Friday, 18 November 2005 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

The chase scene is awesome, it starts at the Pentagon, then somehow ends up on...I forget which bridge but it isn't the correct one, then suddenly Costner is running down the bike/jog path in Georgetown, gets onto the GEORGETOWN RED LINE METRO STOP, then gets off at his final destination (not a diverted, escape destination)...the Pentagon City Mall.

WTF?

OTOH I think that kind of level of getting lost has happened every single time I've been in a car in DC, so never mind.

I am shedding one heartfelt emotion tear for that crap team. Right now. For reals.

arrrgh. so, they'll finish what, 7-9?

I heard the new Madonna single a couple days ago and I can't get it out of my head! IT WONT GO AWAY. And then guy in next cubicle was just listening to it..

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 21 November 2005 18:58 (eighteen years ago) link

You guys are aware that you're still gonna go 7-9, right?

for those of you that might find this interesting/worthwhile - konono no. 1 (congotronics) are playing for free tomorrow on the kennedy center's millenium stage. should be nifty.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Monday, 21 November 2005 19:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Pigskin, pandas, whatever: Last chance for stinky flower!

The giant corpse flower at the Botanic Garden is closing tonight, after blooming for the first time yesterday. It's Sumatran! It's five feet tall! It smells like rotting flesh! Isn't that worth standing in the rain for?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 21 November 2005 20:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, no way! the congotronics guys! Yeah, I'll totally go to that!

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 21 November 2005 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

oh - i almost saw that awful flower last year or the year before. and ill be at the electrified thumb-piano show, too!

― petesmith (plsmith), Monday, 21 November 2005 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

You never see rotting-corpse-flower potpourri at Pottery Barn these days.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 21 November 2005 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

not like the old days, you dont.

― petesmith (plsmith), Monday, 21 November 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

pottery barn totally sold out.

the konono thing looks to be a veritable FAP itself - i'll be there, pete's gonna be there, steve/curmudgeon, and - if the rumors are true - $trongo may make it down from bmore. you should totally come, dar1a.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Monday, 21 November 2005 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll be at the Millennium Stage, too, work allowing. FAP/dinner after?

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 21 November 2005 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be there. Hopefully Konono will be using their car part percussion, car part amps and mics, and those big megaphones as well to make all of us fans of their noisy Congo rhythms happy. I won't be able to stick around for FAP/dinner after though---writing to do...

― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 12:52 (eighteen years ago) link

6pm tonight? I'll try to get there.
