OTFPOTD for 10/22/08 early, because I'm bored.

12839274_l_tiny by kevin_ess on Comment 1061 comments

It's 10:15 as I write this.  I haven't been around LL long, but goddamned long enough that some people like me.  I don't usually contribute to the ON topic threads, because, well shit - it's either already been said by Jeff, or I'm repeating my posts from MC.  I've met some awesome people from this site lately, which leads to the first question:

Of all of the LL posters, who do you really want to meet in person, and why?

Are the fucking Seahawks worth talking about anymore?

If Sheri Lewis and Joan Rivers mated, would the world implode?

Nada Surf is HORRIBLY underrated.

If you had to choose between the Mariners winning the World Series or getting a raise of two dollars, what would you choose? 

If you happened to live in New Orleans and wanted coffee but couldn't have it, would you slap Robert in the face?

If you were tied down and tortured by listening to repeating streams of either Enya or Josh Grobin, which would you choose?

And finally, Who here likes my friends, Steel Pole Bath Tub, and tell me why.

Royalcurve, I'm sick of my own cooking and want to exchange recipes.

Which means I give her my recipe for spaghetti sauce and grilling techniques for hamburger and steaks. Like every guy in the world. Then take whatever the hell she’ll give me. Scones?

You seem to feed off of the abuse you take here. Why do you keep posting? Outside of my question as to why you haven’t been banned, why do you seemingly enjoy the abuse??

Good question!

I keep posting because I respect Jeff, Matthew, and Graham immensely, and though I have poor social skills, I show my appreciation for their work by tuning in daily to LL.

I have been banned, but for short periods of time, for petty infractions. I’m not mean or disrespectful, just out of place.

I don’t enjoy the abuse. I do kind of wish you guys would cut me some slack from time to time. But you need a scapegoat, and I have taken on that responsibility.

You know, I've basically met all of you

Don’t be disappointed but I’m only popping in for a moment. I’m about to head to bed. I just got back from Vegas yesterday and I spent a lot of time sitting around, getting rest and playing Paper Mario. Ask questions and I’ll answer in the AM.

- The Seahawks lack intangibles, like wanting to win more than the other guys.
- I can probably get a $2 raise n top of the one I just got sooner or later. I’ll take a Mariners title, thx.
- I’ll leave the pimpslapping of Robert to everyone else in LL. I think he’s alright.
- At least Enya sounds sort of unique.

Let's do this

1) I’d like to meet… I don’t know. Matthew when he’s carrying a westvleteren? Kevin Ess, because we should talk about 90s lookout records and this new vinyl label, and because this ‘suggested topic’ seemed pretty needy.

2) I love the Seahawks. The first sports shirt/card/anything I ever had was a Manu Tuiasosopo jersey shirt. They were my first love, but they, along with every other team I have ever cared for, have decided to test me with flagrant shitiness. Seriously, I feel more prepared for this because I lived through the M’s 2004 season.

3) No, the world would not implode. It would just be transfixed by a woman with her arm all up in some strange plastic doll-woman thingy. Both would be shouting, and one would be talking like a baby. C’mon, you’d stop for a minute and look at that.

4) Eh. You know who’s underrated? These guys. Or these ones from knucklehead days. The former is a better pure jangle pop band than Nada Surf, and the latter are my fucking heroes.

5) Mariners winning the Series. Easy. I don’t need more money. I need a huge win. And no, a huge win to stay in the premiership on the last day of the season doesn’t count (but I’ll fucking take it!)

6) I don’t like coffee, don’t live in NOLA and don’t slap dudes. Other than that, no, I still don’t understand the question.

7) I met Enya’s father once; runs a bar in Ireland. Great guy. I would choose enya, and think of better days, sipping Guiness on New Year’s Eve, 1997 or 1998.

8) :raises hand: Because they were weird when I needed some weird in my life. I’m convinced this is how some people become cannibals and shit. If only they’d found Steel Pole Bathtub, or Lightning Bolt, or Melt Banana…or, failing that, if only they weren’t quite so German,

That team should've gone to the Super Bowl

And this year’s team is easier to understand/take because we’ve all known this was coming. Maybe we thought it’d happen next year, but c’mon – Jones, Matthew, Kerney, Engram, etc.. It’s a young team that relies on a very old (for football) core.

Sad but true, my friend.

Injuries have killed us. Too bad – I wanted to see Holmgren leave on a high note (if not the highest).

I'm convinced that this team has one more run in them.

The 04 team convinced me that A Seattle team will never win the championship. That and Koren is my least favorite athlete of all time.

uhhhh

This team, meaning the ’Beck, Walter, Kerney team? Good luck with that.

I would love it if you’re right, but I’m actually looking forward to a rebuild. I’m pretty optimistic that it’ll only take a couple of years to get back, but when we do, it won’t be with the current “star” players.

The 2000's era Seahawks always struck me as similar to the late 80's, early 90's Rams

Good pass-oriented offense, reasonably solid defense… just not good enough to beat the best teams in the postseason.

In fact, Hasselbeck strikes me as a shorter, mentally tougher Jim Everett.

I have only met kevin_ess and dpseadv. That should change on Thursday. I’d happily shake hands with any and all of you folks.

I do not like football.

Nada Surf does my charges’ favorite song, Meow Meow Lullaby. It’s very cute when a 2 year old sings it. They also love Yo Gabba Gabba. Paul Williams was on there yesterday… I love him.

Mariners winning the World Series. Easy. Money can’t compare to that.

I would never slap Robert in the face.

Is there an alternative to Enya and Josh Groban? If not I would flip a coin. Who gives a shit, it all sounds like sadness to me.

I'm not doing the homework I should be doing, but lets do this.

1. I feel like Fogel would be a lot of fun to meet in person, as long as he puns in real life too.
2. Sadly, no. Though I’m a casual football fan, so this isn’t as devistating as the Mariners being bad to me.
3. I’d assume not.
4. Nah, I’m not really into Pokemon.*
5. The M’s winning the world series.
6. Nah, probably not. That seems mean.
7. Probably Enya, seems it’d be easier to listen to.
8. Nah, I’m not really into Pokemon.*

*I acctually don’t know about what’s being discussed here, I’d assume some bands or something, and I’ve always wanted to use this.

I don’t know who I would want to meet that I haven’t met. Maybe Seattlebruin cause we could talk about basketball. Or pdb so he could tell me to get off his lawn, cause I most certainly make too many classless jokes. Or royalcurve because I’ve heard positive reviews of her cooking, and I love cooking. So I guess those three.

I'd like to meet BrianL and thewyrm so we could play some Rock Band 2.

The Seahawks are always worth talking about. They suck, so we can talk about how they’re the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked, but hey, we’re still talking about them.

Was Shari Lewis the woman who had the Lambchop puppet?

I don’t like Nada Surf.

Mariners. I don’t need to eat.

I would never have coffee, because I find it disgusting.

Enya, I guess, but that’s a tough choice for me.

That's because it came from the mind of a Gallagher brother

who are probably my least favorite people in music in the last 30 years.

It doesn't make a lick of damn sense!

Rod Stewart's work with the Faces and his first three solo albums

mean I give his disco stuff a pass. That pass, however, does not extend to the last 15 years of Rod’s career.

Go get any of the Faces records

especially “A Nod’s As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse” or “Long Player”. They’ll blow your mind.

A couple weeks back I went to the TimeLife website

just so I could reminisce about all the top 40 music of that period. Sister Hazel, Deep Blue Something, The Rembrandts, etc.

That seems an unnecessary thing to do

considering most of those bands were awful.

I just saw the Rembrandts!

They opened for Gin Blossoms at the Alaska State Fair. Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite bands so I had to go.

I actually saw that goddamn band once

opened for the Rolling Stones. We showed up way late to try to miss them, and they took the stage late so we saw almost the whole set.

I wanted to do that last Friday

but my friends insisted on showing up on time. Which meant I was exposed to Angels & Airwaves. Two songs in they got fed up and we just went outside for an hour.
