The closest I could come to a birthday pineapple zombie blowjob...

Hi, I'm Andrew Motion, and I'd like to wish Tep a superfly birthday, yo.

― MC E-Motion (Mark C), Sunday, 22 June 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Wooo, thank you everyone! Yay for Tep Day. And yay for disguises I can wear while researching urinals (but Crudders, is that a tutu ... ?)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 22 June 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, uh, I posted the wrong image, Teppy. ;)

Ah, Tep. Are you still in New Orleans? ... I read your stories in Strange Horizons. You rocked my world. Happy B-day.

extra mother bears for tep for it is his birthtep!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 June 2003 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, jewelly :) And nope, not in New Orleans, I'm off in Indiana (still haven't had Mother Bear's, must correct that).

GET YOUR HAND OUT OF YOUR ZOMBIE PANTS!

And thank you! It's been a good birthday. I spent the morning working and listening to Belle & Sebastian, had a Dr Pepper and a Cuban sandwich for lunch, and am now watching Metropolis before going out to see Dodgeball and possibly get Scotch. That all sounds like a very ILE birthday.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Happy birthday Tep! Hope you have a wonderful birthday feast.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You should play the new Cure album to celebrate.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

... researching urinals?

(I've just reread this thread.)

(And I like to pretend the last new Cure album was Mixed Up.)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

happy birthday Tep! I'll buy you a pint at NerdFest 2004!

YOU WILL LIKE IT

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

But -- I -- hrm. Maybe I'll download some tracks from it tomorrow, if it disappoints, I don't want it to ruin Mighty Mighty Tep Day. I mean, I know a lot of people loved "Friday I'm In Love," just as an example, and I'm not one of them.

(Oh, I've mentioned this too many times today, but it makes me happy: this is my first birthday in twelve years that was not celebrated with a cigarette.)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Hoorah, happy birthday Teppy McTepperston.

― St. Nicholas Ridiculous (Nick A.), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Happy Bubba Ho-TEP day to the man at my rival uni town.

― Jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you in Lafayette? Go to Kokoro! Go there now! It's expensive but the food will last you for a week.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

For Tep, with birfday wishes:

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Bwahaha.

If there are any fantastically rich people out there who want to buy me something, hire Michael Turner to draw a picture of Sara Pezzini after the Witchblade armor disappears, with those I-slept-on-a-tennis-racquet type marks all over her body, from having nothing but living spiky metal between her & her Calvins while fighting mobsters and the Darkness.

I've always kind of wanted to see that.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

er x-post I spent too many bucks at Kokoro once. It's a memory I will cherish forever. those little salmon roe...

― Jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It's an unbelievable place -- I was there a couple weeks ago, I have friends who just graduated Purdue. Such a cool food town, man.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

We have a 2 hookah bars now!

― Jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you tried the MTV site? It's RealAudio (and much better quality).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I missed this before, many happy belated returns, also,

Search: Bruichladdich

― chris (chris), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Only tried the VH1 site -- I'll go try MTV.

Thank you Archel and Chris! How do I pronounce Bruichladdich?

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Same problem at MTV, the ads go by but sound never starts. I wonder if it's a Mozilla issue. I'm checking Kazaa.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

broo-isch (kind of a rasping noise, actually more icch)- laddy

― chris (chris), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Sheesh, downloaded four songs and they're all the same loop of "Go, if you want to," yadda yadda.

I'll listen at one of the listening stations at Borders when it comes out, though.

xpost; cool! What is it?

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

a really nice malt (islay iirc) from a small distillery that closed down for a while and has just been re-opened by a former management team. I bought a bottle of the pre-closedown stuff about 8 years ago and it was grebt, but of course it then disappeared. It's back now and will be our next malt purchase, only thing is we have about 8 bottles to go through.

BTW we ate ox-heart rolls from St John on Saturday - fantastically tasty

― chris (chris), Thursday, 24 June 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooooh. Oooh x2, actually. I was surprised how good the Scotch selection was here, completely contrary to my assumptions (the girlfriend credits the alcoholism among the faculty). I might just be able to find or special order that, assuming it's exported.

Ox-heart rolls! Very cool. I'm currently salt-curing pork livers on the bottom shelf of my fridge, and am going to make (fry, probably) some pork brains next week or so.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

If you have slsk, teeny has real versions of the trax (although if you really hate the entirety of _Wish_ you will probably hate this).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't actually hate Wish -- I hated it at the time just because it was such a disappointment for me, pretty much wanting Disintegration 2 or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Some More and getting something more poppy instead. "Letter To Elise" is pretty good, really, and if the rest of the album had been more like that, I would've gotten over myself.

No slsk, though.

(re: Scotch upthread, I just realized: I didn't get port-finish any such thing, I think I was tipsily confusing two of my finalist choices. What I have -- right here by the computer, in fact -- is Glenfiddich Solera Reserve.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm. I would suggest listening to that album again and skipping "Friday I'm In Love" and "Doing The Unstuck" because, well, you picked possibly the third-poppiest song on it as the standout track and much of the rest of it DOES hearken back to _KMx3_.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but it's ... good poppy vs bad poppy :) See, this is why I don't post to ILM much; I don't really describe music very well.

I think the girlfriend has a copy -- mine's on cassette, and I don't even have a cassette player anymore, strangely. But okay, okay, I'll listen again. You were right about "Domino"!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

let me know if you want, I'll gmail the trax to you!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you sure? If I put you out too much, I'd feel terrible if I ended up saying, "Well, that was a bucket of suck." Tell you what, I'll trade you for a free copy of my game at GenCon.

(I was going to give you a copy of the game anyway. But hey.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

:))))))

wtf, put me out? it's gmail!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but you still have to upload the files!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh, just realized that. they're on their way though.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

they're at 320 too!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

No rush, no rush -- I'm work-at-home six days a week this summer, I've got plenty of time to listen :)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, missed this one!

hip hip hooray for Tep!! on his magical birthing day!!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

oh man screw this, I'm uploading it to my webspace, will let you know when it's done.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoa. Okay. I need to, and will, listen more, but the new Cure is definitely not crap, that's for damn sure.

Thank you teeny! And Dan as well.

yay for tep for being tep, and old

Even though you've abandoned us, we still think you're great! (by "we" I mean me and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps)
I will mail that Batman comic today! I swear!
Happy Birthday.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Thanks y'all :) I'm 30 now! My license to diss twentysomethings is currently being laminated; my immunity to generalizations about thirtysomethings glows from the zero in my age. I'm like a superhero.

Huck: I gotta mail your CDs too, now I'm worried about the heat -- but the cooling airs of Canada ought to handle that.

Orbit: birthday dinner report at http://www.livejournal.com/users/redfusion (scroll down slightly, I don't have the direct link handy). Includes foie gras.

teeny: I will so be there. L is all geeking out over it, she bought a Sith robe. A custom-fitted Sith robe.

Everybody, inclusive: the migraine/tremor stuff I've mentioned has been diagnosed and dealt with. The other day I had a Clamato energy drink, but I'm not advocating it. I bought the Dirty Dozen on DVD. That pretty much updates you on everything.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Tep! Happy Birthday!

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Thank you!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Tep, are you still planning a Memphis trip this summer?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Yep! Specifics still undetermined. But Lindsey liked it so much the one day she was there while in MS for her sister's graduation that it won't be hard to convince her. It'll be some weekend when the Redbirds are playing a home game.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

I have a freelance client trying to completely book my July, and I mean every single day. I might be able to escape for a day trip. But if it's August, I'll be free like a bird and ready to drink some barbecue and eat some beer.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

We can make it August -- that's bound to be easier anyway, because we've got her mother visiting one weekend in July and our trip to MY mother two weekends later. It's the month of all mothers.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

Tep--
can you read my ms when it is done (in august)

― anthony easton (anthony), Thursday, 23 June 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

How quickly would you need me to read it? Not sure yet what'll be on my plate for then -- I can definitely read it, it's just that if you need a fast turn-around I might let you down on that.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 23 June 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

Holy shitz0rs, looks like the Redbirds are on the road almost all of August. The weekend of the 13th or nothing, eh?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

yay tep, feliz cumpleanos!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

Thank you, Sam! I didn't know you were back/still around/you know, whatever. I owe you tequila shots.

Rock: Just checked with the little lady (don't tell her I called her that), and we can pencil the weekend of the 13th in. Her summer class will have just ended that Friday, we think, so there wouldn't be finals hanging over her or anything. That's a good time to blow off steam anyway. Beer and barbecue and she-crab soup! And "months with an R" or no "months with an R," I'm gonna find some place to get oysters.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

Excellent! I might be topping that weekend off with one or two Reds @ Braves games during Labor Day weekend while my redheads go to DragonCon.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Happy birthday Tep, you rock the kitchen! And many of the other rooms too I'm sure :)

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:19 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Archel :) I have been known to bring the boogie down upon the solarium, in my day.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

Oh hey Tep. I need to email you. Long time no chat. Happy birthday!
