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

12839274_l_tiny by kevin_ess on

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.

Raise of $2/hour?

I want to meet Matthew. Definitely Enya (how long do I have to listen to this for?)

Probably eternity.

Sorry.

Why Matthew? You have to supply a why.

God, now I'm wondering how many times he's been asked, "why, Matthew?!"

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?

And who put the goofy in the water tonight? I've been warned twice for laughing too loud.

Opening game of the WS and potential news of a new GM is my guess. I think I’ve checked the news on the internet about 6 times today.

Are those still racist? I killed that thing, then found out later it was a lie! The whole thing was bent!

Damn the unfair advantage!

Can I ask you...

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.

Vindication!

He's a kid.

At that age, I’d be desperately trying to pipe bomb every regular’s house. The guy’s trying, albeit awkwardly.

For the sake of any/all law enforcement professionals that may be stopping by

ha ha! Good one! I’m going to light a pipe bomb at Kevin Ess’s place… a pipe bomb made of EXCITEMENT!

(also, this is why I will never use facebook)

Age 17 is not a kid.

Well, I suppose that might be perpetuated by my Aspergers.

Vindication!

Is that the age where you're no longer a kid?

I’ve never been real impressed with college-age people.

I think the only time I've impressed myself was when my wife agreed to marry me.

You know what?

Fuck it. Great post. Let’s make a deal right now. You want to post something, you email me first. I’ll tell you when you’re being stupid or over the top, and you can tell me when you’re going to get off of my lawn.

This is one thing I don't understand about the lawn loiterers these days.

Coach Owens, Taylor H, Patrick517, hell, even Corco… they seem to love being loathed, at least sometimes. Hey, as long as its consensual and all, but it never made any sense to me.
(They still probably take more shit than they should, but such is life)

No.

Please don’t get me wrong. I hate being teased by you guys.

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.

Nice, and good use of horrible songs spawned by that show.

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.

by marc w on Oct 21, 2008 11:43 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by Robert on Oct 21, 2008 11:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by marc w on Oct 21, 2008 11:50 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

You're most likely right. But Mora? Really? Look at our defense.

Sorry NOLA. AGAIN.

I REALLY REALLY want to grab a LT of the future with the 1st round pick this year

The defense is still really young. I just don’t like the direction that Ruskell is taking the offense.
