That paper was of higher quality than the episode of SNL i just sat through. At least it wasn’t filled with bad ethnic jokes aimed at the over 60 demographic.

AL finally saved us. Hurray !
My own opinion is that Facebook is actually the crack cocaine of social media. I go for BJ, which is more esoteric / exotic (think Absinthe).
ETA: Re: the paper – that doesn’t even scan correctly (compare to “hit me with your rhythm stick”, over and over again).

@divF: For comparison purposes.

I’ve gotten a few calls on my cell and home phone and I swear it’s a runaround the Do Not Call list.
Caller: Is X person in?
Me:No, you’ve called the wrong number. Nobody by that name lives here.
Caller:Oh, I’m sorry I must have called the wrong number. Hey, we’ve got a special going on xyz, Would you be interested?
I guess I should tell them to me off their fucking phone list. My cell phone number used to apparently be an active republican’s phone number. I used to waste quite a bit of republican pollster/fundraiser time. I guess they eventually figured out the person had died because the phone calls stopped.

good god. I get that people are not actually evil on this site. good lord, people.

I guess illegal alien youtube vids didn’t get the Obamamnesty.
Sorry, Little Boots. They were really cool and you’d have enjoyed them, but alas….

@Morzer: Were those scenes from the infamous movie? I actually found it to be silly when I eventually saw it.

@Omnes Omnibus: Pretty much all Malays are Muslim, didn’t our Republican friends says they’re goin’ to kill us in our beds? Maybe I should rethink my statement.

@mai naem: I’ve gotten shenanigans like that, too. I don’t answer anymore unless I recognize the number.

@Omnes Omnibus:
why I will always love the omnes.
Little Boots
just in case anyone was wondering
Little Boots
and if the rest of you don’t love omnes, why the hell not?
Morzer
@Omnes Omnibus:
Absolutely not.
Suzanne
@Little Boots: I don’t question your love for Omnes, but I have wondered about its intensity and its single focus.
Omnes Omnibus
@BillinGlendaleCA: I think my spelling makes my view clear.

there is also steeplejack.

I am so close to carpenters.

Actually it’s about ethics in games journalism.

Amir Khalid
@BillinGlendaleCA:
In Malaysia, per the Constitutional definition, if you are not Muslim you are not Malay, regardless of your actual ethnicity. It is an artifact of the racial politics here.

I’m trying to get a few job apps done before bedtime. it does feel a bit sisyphean. but I did buy a christmas rosemary tree, in a mad rush of hopeful hopiness. I stopped warcrack after my entire machine had a kernel panic and crashed. I figured it was a universal statement that I should go do something else. So far, I have apps out to places like Burbank & Torrance and Seattle. If I get an actual interview, BJ meet up thingy!
Little Boots
@Omnes Omnibus:
oh, good god, that’s not an issue.
Little Boots
@Omnes Omnibus:
that’s actually a little ugly.
Morzer
@ruemara:
Good luck, ruemara. I shall entreat the Noodly Appendage to bless your endeavors.
BillinGlendaleCA
@Amir Khalid: I’m somewhat familiar with the racial politics, but my knowledge is somewhat dated, say mid 1980’s. I was unaware that it was a constitutional provision.

@ruemara:
Good luck! Maybe we can find a night at Story Tavern when they’re not having live music. ;-p
Omnes Omnibus
@Little Boots: @Little Boots: I was just reassuring the concerned citizens. I’d catch a drink with you some time if you didn’t want to subject me to your music.
Little Boots
@Omnes Omnibus:
I know. and I like you, you know that. that was just a bit, much.
ruemara
@Mnemosyne: It really cuts down on awkward silences though.
Little Boots
but I can be oversensitive, which is kind of funny.
Suzanne
@Omnes Omnibus: Hey, you were just saying in the last thread that you enjoy the crazy. LMMFAO.
Little Boots
@Suzanne:
oh, whatever, lady. don’t be a bitch.
Suzanne
@Little Boots: I can’t change my essential nature. Frogs, scorpions, etc etc etc.
ruemara
Truth be told, I’m rooting for Giant Evil.
PurpleGirl
@ruemara: I’ll keep you in my thoughts for lots of good interviews and a really good job.
Omnes Omnibus
@Suzanne: No, I have experienced the crazy. Mmmm, okay. I broke up with the objectively sanest woman I ever dated in part because she spelled the word “wreck” as “reck.”
Suzanne
@ruemara: I’m sure you would be a great asset to Giant Evil. I mean that in a good way only, of course. Best of luck.
Little Boots
@Suzanne:
and I know you’re alright. I’m getting sensitive. that needs to stop.
Suzanne
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh shit. That’s grounds for justifiable homicide right there.
Who am I kidding? In my early 20s, I *married* crazy. That was a bad move.
Little Boots

Thanks for all the good wishes. Tomorrow, I put all the hockey I’ve been watching to good use. I hope. 4th restart is the charm.

@Omnes Omnibus: Cheese Louise, man! What’s a fella gotta do? Just slap on a robe and pass this on to Boots, already.

@wasabi gasp: That is just evil. What is wrong with you?
Little Boots
@wasabi gasp:
no, now omnes in his annoying, obnoxious way, does sort of get me.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I would grey on that one.
Omnes Omnibus
@wasabi gasp: grey?
wasabi gasp
@Omnes Omnibus: gray?
ETA: spend the rest of my earthly being figuring out the mystery of myself.

@Little Boots: Dude, fix your linking ability. Find it on YouTube, copy the link, then come here and attach the link. If you are going to have a reputation as my stalker (which you do), I think is is reasonable to ask that you be technically competent.

@Omnes Omnibus:
tried. what is with the anger?

@Little Boots: No anger, just a comment.

Marion Barry apparently just died at midnight. Blood infection. That was an interesting political time in DC. I had forgotten all about him.
Little Boots
let me try, cause omnes is kind of angry:

@Hal:
he had his issues. I don’t actually say this, or think this, but I think I will pray for him.
Little Boots
@Little Boots:
I mean, I don’t this this often, or say this often, but he seems like he could use it.
wasabi gasp
@Little Boots: That’s a good thought. I suppose I wish I could think it. But, I think he’s finished using anything.

Just got back from state marching band championship. The boy’s band got first in division and 2nd overall, missing first by 1/10 point. Everyone is more deflated than they should be. They’ve worked so hard, and they should really be proud of how well they did.
Villago Delenda Est
Yes. Yes he does.

The Post has Marion Barry dying a few hours after being released from the hospital. That’s messed up. I read the Post obit. Who knew Barry had a Masters degree in Chemistry?
Anne Laurie
@? Martin: Congratulations to the kids. It’s hard to appreciate that “best of losers” is still a reward, until you’ve been around long enough to understand how many people will never get anywhere near that close!
Morzer
@Villago Delenda Est:
That game needs to pull its pants up!
Rob
I didn’t know that Barry had a master’s degree in Chemistry either. That is pretty messed up that he died so soon after being released from the hospital.
Howard Beale IV
@ruemara: LIke this guy?
I'mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet
@mai naem: (Raises hand.)
He had a complicated life – good and bad. He was a convenient punching bag for those who refused to let DC run its own affairs.
RIP.
Cheers,
Scott.

Barry definitely had a mixed record. He reminds me the old-time big city machine politicians. Corrupt as hell, pocketing money in shady deals and taking advantage of the system for his own benefit, but doing a lot for the poorer citizens of his city.
