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

PrintIt'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.

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??
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
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.
- Shari Lewis + Joan Rivers = The Talk Show That Never Ends
Nice, and good use of horrible songs spawned by that show.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
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,
For me, that would be the 08 Hawks.

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).
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
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.
You're most likely right. But Mora? Really? Look at our defense.
Sorry NOLA. AGAIN.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
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.
I'm with you here.

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.
54!
I've met most of the people here
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.
Mariners winning the World Series, thank you very much.
Josh Grobin for sure.

I sing this often at K bars.
And no, I never change the pronouns when covering a song originally done by a chick. One of my all time pet peeves is when cover artists do this. It instantly makes their cover crap.

That pisses me off too.
If your going to pick a song originally done by someone of the opposite sex, just deal with the fact it says “he” or “she”.
Man do I love midgets.
Request exception for Patsy Cline.
Many of her songs (most notably "Crazy") were originally written from a man’s perspective. Actually, I request that this exception be granted to all music pre- ~1970 because without it you’re condemning thousands of incredible songs.
Otherwise I completely agree. My favorite part about the White Stripes’ cover of “Jolene” is the use of the original pronouns.

My answers...
1) Man, this is tough. I’d love to jam with Ess at some point and finally make that wine tasting trek up the Gorge with PDB one of these days. And there’s a ton of others I haven’t met yet that I’m sure I’d really enjoy. I’ve met a lot of folks ‘round here already, and have enjoyed some great times with everyone I’ve met thus far…
2) The who? For the first time in a long, long time I neither DVR’d the game nor watched any play of the Seahawks. I said a looong time ago that I was concerned that the 2008 ‘Hawks reminded me too much of the 2004 Mariners, and it’s definitely coming to fruition — yeah, moreso due to injuries than player-fall-off-a-cliff-ness, but injuries are football’s version of aging player skills, IMHO.
3) No, that’s how Steven Tyler was conceived.
4) Not sure. Never listened to them. Might have to take a jaunt on Pandora or something.
5) My new mortgage says “TAKE THE RAISE” but my crazy-addicted fandom says “WORLD SERIES!!!!”
6) So THAT’S the sound of one hand clapping… I’ve always wondered.
7) Since torture was presumed, it’d have to be Josh Grobin. I, too, happen to really like Enya, and play her stuff on the piano all the time.
8) Any friend of Ess is a friend of mine.

I will just say this about mine
I was being an ass and I was drunk, so I may have deserved it.
I also achieved said drunkenness while hanging out with a well known member of this here blog. Thankfully he had gone home and was not around to see me get beat up.
Had I actually still been there
I would have probably run screaming from the bar like a 9 year old girl. I’m very physical-conflict-averse, even when drunk.

Long story still long
Get on train at 2ish on a Friday with 5 friends heading to PDX for a bachelor party. We drink the whole way there.
Get to hotel and have more drinks. Call pdb to come join us.
Go out to dinner, drink more.
Go out to punk show, drink more. Close said bar and head back to hotel.
At this point only pdb, myself and my friend who took my place as bass player in my former band are still awake. There is an awful folk singer on stage. Bass player and I are drunk heckling the crap out of him.
pdb goes home wisely. Bass player and I decide to grab a cab and head out to Union Jack’s.
Once we wade through a 15 minute line and get drinks we are chatting while standing next to a stage. Gentleman next to me makes a comment making fun of me. I say something incredibly rude and mean to him.
He walks away. Next thing I know I am getting tackled and punched repeatedly from behind. By the time I was able to roll the guy over security grabbed me and threw me out.
He punched like a girl, so no big deal as far as injury. I had not been in a fight in 20 years though, so that was strange.
Correction
pdb went home wisely drunkly.

"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
When I was in Vegas for my bachelor party
we got off the plane and were, of course, already drunk from the flight down. We piled into a cab and told the driver to stop at a liquor store before taking us to the hotel. As we were on our way to the liquor store, we pulled up at a red light next to a dude driving a red Ferrari convertible – and this guy was the full midlife crisis; balding, gold chains, pinky ring, the whole nine.
Being of rather-less-than-sound mind at the time, I rolled down the window, looked at the guy, and said “Hey man, I’m really sorry about your penis!” loud enough so that he could hear it. he looked over, flipped me off, and drove off – through the red light.
We got the cab ride for free because the driver couldn’t stop laughing.

Never drink alone in a new bar, some lessons never sink in.
14th inning of game 4 between the Astros and the Braves. Hotel room full of divers waiting for our boat to get some repair work, and the power went out (not that long after Rita). So I just started driving around until I found a bar that had power. 14 inning, I go take a leak, guy follows me in and commences to punching me in the back of the neck. Never spoke to him, didn’t even see him in the bar.
My kids tend to be shy as anything for about 15 minutes when they meet new people, then they let it go. 27 month twins. By next spring I have no idea what they’ll be like. Probably sneaking cigarettes behind the school and stealing hubcaps.

I was sucker punched by a skinhead once.
I put on a Zeke show when I was 17. The guy was being an asshole, violently running into people and groping women. I told him to stop. He didn’t I (stupidly) flipped him off. His friends did the whole “he’s not worth it” hold him back routine. I (stupidly) turned my back. I saw my girlfriend dart away and turned around just in time to see his fist coming at me. I (smartly) grabbed my girlfriend and got the fuck out of dodge. I’m all for not backing down and blah blah blah, but there’s no way trying to take on a group of skinheads was going to end well.

Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Aberdeen is the scariest town in Washington by far.
I’m actually kind of fascinated by it; it has a PNW pre-1980s vibe, the surroundings are beautiful (with just the right amount of blight and depression mixed in) and some of the old neighborhoods are gorgeous. But the most terrifying people in Olympia on any given weekend were (and probably still are) almost guaranteed to be either skinheads or tweaker street punks from Aberdeen.

1 – I guess pdb or marc w, but I’d like to meet everyone I haven’t met and a few people I have met I would like to actually talk to.
2 – What else is there to say? They fall off the cliff and they did it hard. I was over it after the Buffalo game. It sucks, but we all knew it had to happen sooner or later.
3 – Sheri Lewis is both female and dead, so I’m pretty sure the resulting offspring would have to be the antichrist.
4- I liked that one song they did that one time.
5 – The way I interpret the question is, if I could have a $2/hr raise right now or have the Mariners be guaranteed to win a WS in ‘09. Since I have no problem waiting out the (hopefully short) retooling phase, and I could really use a bit of extra dough, I’ll take the raise.

But i’d say those from Cambridge would more likely define themselves as East Anglian than Southern/Midlands.
East Midlands stops well before Cambridge to my mind. Cambridge is East of where I am (and about 20 miles North) and nobody round here would ever class it as midlands.

He’s not critical enough of the world that he proposes to be critical of. It’s less critical than observatory, and as I said he never really comes to any conclusions – it’s just a lot of wide-eyed wonder with no real point. Mildly amusing at times, but nothing special.

Monday’s easiest. In theory they build up during the week, but I’ve found a lot of Wednesday ones harder than most other days.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
In theory, they do get harder as the week goes along.
Because Wednesday-Friday all have a theme, they’re occasionally harder than Saturday (which is generally straightforward but really, really difficult) because if you don’t figure out the trick you’re boned.

I went to the gym today to lift weights – the first time I’ve done weights at the gym in weeks (I usually just stretch and do cardio there these days). I have a routine that I work through, and while it’s not a ton of weight a ton of times, it’s enough to present a good challenge.
