Alumni weekend here, so the house is full of brothers from other decades. Steve and I spent the afternoon cooking down a marinara from roma tomatoes and making home made pasta, fed about a dozen peeps, and are now heading to the bar.
He also is a mountain man who hikes every day, so he brought with him about a lb of fresh morels and we are going to have rocking omelets with morels and eggs raised a 1/2 mile away with that creamy yolk goodness, some bacon from my buddy down the way, and I will make some waffles with flour and Honey from the Amish.
Little Feat is cranking, my boys are back, and all is good. Homecoming and Alumni weekend are my favorite weekends of the year.
Little Boots
john cole, I know you don’t like me, but you are awesome. just want to say it. really. I do like you.
Captain Goto
Good shit is all around. Despite the Pens shitting the bed, I have a very fine porter in front of me, and a SLAMMIN’ jazz band closing out the night with “Work Song” by Cannonball Adderley.
Have a ball, John.
Little Boots
really, just you and me, buddy. well, I do actually like you. You are brave, always have been. I truly admire you.

My wife was reading a Thai newspaper on line and found this article about a building quite literally being “erected” in China. It is the new headquarters for a newspaper. My guess is that the newspaper is “The Long Dong Daily News.”

Cole is gonna get lit and still take care of food. Awesome.
w3ski
Morels! That does it, I am coming from California to join you for Breakfast. I love those little critters.
I’d saute them before the omlet but they produce tons of water when sauteed, have a before egg drain time for best use!
w3ski
p.a.
Homecoming, alumni weekend. The 3am alcohol-fueled blog post this weekend will be a happy one. No rants in the forecast.
Little Boots
john cole is … well, I don’t koow. but something.
dewzke
@p.a.: I think Cole is occupied for then next dozen or so hours.
dance around in your bones
For some reason, that made me think of brother from another planet. Just the phrasing.
I have no idea what that means, but your effort on behalf of your old frat is impressive. And I want morels, too, gawdammit!
Little Boots
so what is with john cole? why are you so shy john?
SatanicPanic
Drunk thread!

Hill Dweller
Any NBA fans here? Joey Crawford is tossing players out of the game like his life depends on it in the Grizzlies-Clippers game.
Little Boots
@SatanicPanic:
yeah, well, maybe. but it’s kind of fun.
dewzke
@Little Boots: um, I do believe John is busy. wait til noon or so.
JCJ
@Hill Dweller:
Yeah, this is a strange end to this game. I am not clear on what Chris Paul did to get tossed.
Little Boots
and seriously, who doesn’t love john?
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: I’ve always wondered- how come you only show up on weekends?
And where is Stuck? I hope he’s OK.
Fluke bucket
Well has Israel bombed Syria or are the news channels spewing bullshit again?
Little Boots
@SatanicPanic:
oh, you know, cause it’s the drinking time.
don’t play dumb.
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: Oh OK, just curious
Anne Laurie
@dance around in your bones: Brother from Another Planet is — like Slap Shot — one of those infinitely watchable / quotable films. And a great social filter, as far as I’m concerned; people who whine or nitpick about either of them, IMO, just aren’t worth the bother of knowing better.
(Also too, I loved Joe Morton’s role as a conspiracy theorist/mad scientist in the first seasons of Smallville, and as the — spinoff? — ‘asylum keeper’ in Eureka… )
Little Boots
but everything I say is true.
I really do like john.
where the hell is he?
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots:
Little Boots
oh, satanic, don’t be a bitch.
Hill Dweller
@JCJ: During the free throw, Paul came down and gave Gasol a shot to the ribs, which led to the technical. But I suspect Paul had been doing stuff throughout the game.
Crawford has a quick trigger, but I can’t see him throwing people out of a playoff game unless they crossed the line repeatedly.
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: :/
Little Boots
the important thing is,
john, where the hell are you???
Little Boots
and omnes, where the hell is my dear sweet omnes?
Little Boots
that’s how you do it, sweetheart.
dance around in your bones
@Anne Laurie:
Heh.
eta: Little Boots, do you know you are sometimes creepy?
Little Boots
sometimes, but seriously, could some of you got game, someimes? I actually like John, I’m not sure about most of you.
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: Is that a requirement now?
Irish Steel
@dance around in your bones: Sometimes?
GxB
Oh Christ, contrary to the crap weather in the Midwest, it must be spring and someone’s been licking the early toads.
Little Boots
@SatanicPanic:
requirement for what?
I actually like John. I do. that is all. what are you talking about?
dewzke
@GxB: dood must be plus 10
dance around in your bones
@Irish Steel: I was trying to be polite ;)
specialed5000
I’m gonna have to listen to some Little Feat. Don’t know much about them except the radio songs, but it seems like JC and I share a taste in Zappa and the Dead and a few other bands he’s mentioned.
trollhattan
@GxB:
93 today and at least ten CA counties have fires at the moment, our snowpack is 17 percent of normal, so yeah, it’s spring somewhere.
We’ll take any spare snow/rain/sleet/thick haze you have to spare, thanks. God, I dread July.
Little Boots
fine, let adele sort it out:

@specialed5000:
Pretty much anything while Lowell George was alive will make you life a bit better. The live “Waiting for Columbus” album is a mighty fine place to start.
Little Boots
okay, when I think about it, it’s probably omnes’ fault. dammit.
lojasmo
Sounds like fun, John, (except for all the people)
Little Boots is ALWAYS creepy.
Lojasmo +2 (bottles of red wine…shared with the Mrs.)
Little Boots
how am I creepy?
is it that I love everyone?
how is that creepy?
Alison
@Little Boots: 17 out of 45 comments being yours is part of it.
trollhattan
@Little Boots:
Depends. If “love” as a transitive verb, then creepy, yes. If “love” in the agape sense, than perhaps not.
Little Boots
17? wow. I am surprised.
and agape, is such a cool word. I love that.

@Little Boots: One should relax, be calm, let the conversation flow. This shall bring you honour and glory.

Oooh, quotable movies.
Gotta mention Putney Swope. $100 absurdism on a $15 budget.
“Are you for surreal?”
(Also a movie which uses one of the most hideous American production cars ever: a 1959 Chrysler Imperial limousine.)
Little Boots
I do seriously love all of you. always have.
Hal
Damn Oprah works fast. Jason Collins is doing an interview this Sunday.
Little Boots
you’e right, yutsano. I do push it sometimes. I can’t help myself.
Hill Dweller
@Hal: Collins is also scheduled to do a fundraiser with the First Lady in NYC.
Redshift
@NotMax: Speaking of which, I got sucked into watching the last half-hour or so of Galaxy Quest, which happens pretty much any time it’s on and I pause long enough watch any of it.
“Whoever wrote this episode should die!” :-)
dance around in your bones
@Little Boots: You repeat yourself, repeat yourself, ad infinitum.
And always on the same two guys.
@Redshift: One of my most favorite movies – I will always watch it, no matter where or when it comes on. Plus, Alan Rickman!

Oh hey, uck fay.

which two guys, two guys, two guys?
Little Boots
yutsano, seriously, am I not attacked here? be honest.
Little Boots
so what is the deal here?
Yutsano
@Little Boots: The last three posts are yours. You’re very enthusiastic but that can be disconcerting.
Little Boots
once again, can we all join together around adele:

Little Boots
yutsano, I like you. do you like adele?
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: Whenever I hear Adele I am reminded of how much I miss Amy Winehouse
Little Boots
@SatanicPanic:
yeah, but I think adele has staying power. amy, well …
SatanicPanic
@Little Boots: this is true. Poor Amy
Little Boots
yutsano, it’s okay to actually like me. I’m pretty likable. john does, although he gets pissed about it.
YellowJournalism
Little Boots got into the Ghostbusters 2 happy slime, I see. Now BJ is one entire love-in, and he’s hosting.
Little Boots
little boots likes the booze, but seriously, yellowJ tell me one time I have ever said anything mean about anyone here.
Little Boots
omnes, seriously, this is the time to be honorable. buddy.
Little Boots
omnes, I know you are honorable, speak up.

We’re getting our carpets professionally cleaned tomorrow, so the morning will be spent trying to trap cats who do NOT like to get in their carriers thankyewverymuch and then trying to pick up as much crap off the floor as possible before the guy gets here.

john will not be happy. and you know things go bad when john is not happy.
he could flip again.
but he won’t. probably.
let’s make fun of john. okay.
I’m john. I can go any way. politicially, that is. I think.

Dude, you make me miss Morgantown. 91 grad.5 year plan. Delt. Saw the pics of Sunnyside being razed and it nearly broke my heart. Have some college buddies out here in Portland, Workmeister, O’keefe, Foster, Jerome, might just have to call them up now for a beer. Next time you’re at the fishbowl please toast on for me. I wonder if my friend Jack’s record of most cigs smoked at one time still stands? Cheers.

@NeoOstrakon:
does mellencamp help?

It’s no wonder you’re such a fat fuck. You eat all the goddamn time. Try going on a goddamn diet. You’ll feel better, and the ladies will flock to you.
That is, um, if you want them to. But it’s okay if you don’t. ;)
hamletta
There are a handful of software thingies that one can use to manage a church. The one I’m stuck with is horrible, and I want to die.
It’s a racket: The documentation is non-existent, because they want to sell you webinars and conventions that cost $$$.
I hate these pious dweebs with the heat of a thousand suns.
All I want to do is record who showed up and took communion because I am required by the constitution and by-laws of my parish to do so, and it’s a fucking nightmare.
hamletta
@YellowJournalism: Oh, I pied Little Boots earlier, because, ew.
The prophet Nostradumbass
@BillinGlendaleCA: how do you do that?

Went to bed unusually early–before 11:00–and am now wide awake. I have read the New York Times and am thinking of getting up to watch old Perry Mason episodes. That is all.

@The prophet Nostradumbass: Google Maps in 3d? First, you need 3d glasses(red/blue). Second, you need a video card that will display 3d. One of machines has a nvida(sp?) and it does 3d natively, my other machine(this one) has a amd video card and requires a program to do 3d(tridef is the program). Finally you have to start google earth in directx mode, not openGL. From there I think it’s just tools/options and there’s a 3d tab.

I heard a bunch of racket about a half hour ago and looked out the window to see our cat Stewie and his buddy Marley the neighbor cat chasing two raccoons down the street. One of the raccoons was making a chirping/grunting noise, which was what got my attention. I got them to leave the raccoons alone and Stewie finally came inside.
It’s about 70 out now here on the south Oregon coast and the pets were out partying.
