Dear the 1p3 Community,

My moms worked down the hall from each other in a Coca-Cola Corp office in the early 90s. Biological mom worked in marketing, mom's soon-to-be gf worked switchboard. After school in like grade 2 I would go sit on switchboard mom's lap & work on my math homework while she transferred calls around. There was divorce b/w Mom & Dad, yada yada, Moms (or "Mom & Veronica," as they're referred to around Dad) had "the talk" with me like 7 years ago ("So...if you have any questions...?" "No! No I do not."), and that's that story.

Dear The Goodly Reverend,

I am partial to "Thanks Big Hoos" only because it features Hip Hop Harry, and because it was a complete surprise the first time I saw it. "Hard Out Here" was in the midst of some hardcore clowning and I didn't get as much of a kick out of it initially.

tchaboy!

Daer Libby,

Austin, San Antonio, mostly pleasant weather, good beer, laid-back & hospitable peeps, authentic mexican food, BBQ.

HOOS

ps no disrespect to houston, dallas, galveston etc, i've just never lived there and can't vouch personal-like.

do you ever think about changing your name back to hoosteen?

-- jergïns, Thursday, March 13, 2008 7:56 AM

I tried once! Right after the switch to nu-nu-ILX 3.0 or whatever we call this thing, I registered with my gmail account as "Hoosteen" and promptly lost track of that password.

At one point in the midst of a noize beef I had like 8 gmail accounts I was registering just to be banned by j0n. That was fun. :D

ayo!

In no order, and with the caveat that I am not heavily traveled within these cities:

I liked LA but I saw so damn little of it that I've got more an idea of LA than an experience.

dear person also known as the steendriver,

how big is an average hoos and how much larger would a hoos have to be to stand out as a BIG HOOS?

Is BIG HOOS an only hoos?

Deer The Reverend,

A Large Hoos is any Hoos larger than approximately 4 feet. I have never meta nother Hoos in my years.

so real witchu

HOOS

darest hoos,

did i remember correctly that you lived in sa-town at some point in yr life?

monsieur bison

You did! Schooled there for 1.5 years, met some good people but got into some bad stuff, decided it was best I tip my hat. Austin is home now, and I've severed ties with most folks down that way, but my Moms & a real good bro still live there.

Are the rumors true? Are also you a Saytown man?

hoos out

HOOS,

Which Logan Street taco truck should I patronize tonight: The one north of Sunset which I have never tried or the one south of Sunset where I have eaten three times.

--WO\ondering in Los Feliz

daer WO\ondering in Los Feliz

I say go for the one north of Sunset. There's a whole world of taco trucks out there, and the possible benefits of a New Favorite Place outweigh the possible costs of A Night of Bad Tacos if it turns out to be thumbs-down.

oi oi oi

ps please consider Possible Costs of a Night of Bad Tacos as your next album title

ok brb

give us updates on yr return!

wut is sa-town?

hoos --

what are you getting your degree in?

Libcrypto

i am pretty sure i once said something like this, yes

what's up with justin raimondo? what do you think of that guy?

i don't really fuck with paleocons--alliances of convenience sure are nice to get folks in the street (hi stopwatching.us), but class analysis is pretty paramount for my willingness to take someone's thinking seriously in the long term.

and in any case, if i need somebody who gets withering on the same topics and doesn't want me to vote for ron paul, there's always max blumenthal.

yeah, interesting, thx.

pretty funny that ten years ago everyone talked about how the real drivers behind the antiwar movement were a bunch of leninist dead-enders, but the guy running antiwar.com is a buchananite

maoist dead-enders, even!

ha, yes of course

ok what's the deal with *this* person??

ex-ows'er google dev who's turned into some kind of anti-democrat 'caste warrior'??

america, man. pretty weird.

otm

yo hoos

you really think killing fast track at the cost of trade adjustment assistance is something to celebrate? i don't understand how this is a win for workers in any way...

plz explain

oh i didn't see that this was already being discussed on the politics thread

oh hey sorry hadn't seen this

so some broader context

TAA as it was being presented in this bill was essentially shit--this bill massively underfunded it because that's the only way it would ever have a chance in the GOP led house. TAA is great and necessary--this TAA bill was a joke, and attaching it to Fast Track was a cynical white house-driven maneuver to try to ensure TPA's passage. our leg people are confident that there will be another, better shot at TAA before the summer is out.

republicans have this pattern--not just with TAA obv but with "government services in general"--of defunding programs to the point of crippling their capabilities, then claiming that they don't work. that's what they've held with TAA for years: cut, then claim its broken. we know it works when its funded, and we shouldn't have to cut medicare to pay for it, which is part of what they were pushing on this as well.

but in short our position is there's gonna be another shot at TAA, and beating TPA was big enough to take that gamble.

hoos are you dating a libertarian rn or what, feel like you spend a lot of time on this board sticking up for them, and now youre reading hayek in a bar (and tweeting about it?), lets talk

lol

this bill is the one we're backing

nice. thx hoos

hoos can you tell me about leg people, why because they sound intersting

never skip legislative day

they are the best dressed people in all the meetings bcz they gladhand congressppl for a living

they're also our procedural sherpas--during the c-span watch party over the vote last week, when we were going "...did we just win? is that...did we win?" they were the ones who assured us we had.

never skip legislative day

lmao thumbs up

Looks like I picked the wrong day to skip legislative day.

No for reals I lobbied my school's council member on the steps of City Hall last week and holy CRAP our assigned lobbyist was SHAMELESSLY chasing CMs across the courtyard. No holds barred for reals.

FOR REAL FOR REAL I took too long to finish writing that sentence and forgot how I started it. Also I was distracted by the memory of B----- literally chasing someone who was hurrying without wanting to look like she was hurrying.

Ayo hoos what possessed you to return to this godforsaken place?

the short version is "twitter was starting to give me crippling doom anxiety but i still wanted something fun to do at my desk"

feel u

same
