Tiny by Thingray on

Thingray's turn, damnit!!

Yes I'm early, but I've never been able to do one of these before, and Jeanuts (my fiancee) and I were looking at the LL history to try to find Smegmalicious's name, because we remembered him from the LL softball game we attended, but forgot his screen name.

Anyway. MY TURN!!

Topics up for discussion:

Why do women try to pick fights in bars more than men do?

Is it wrong that I jumped the gun on this, just to be able to finally post one of these things?

Blown Away: Good movie?

Halloween Costumes (Tis the season)

Favorite kind of tequila?

Favorite Canadian musicians (mine are Mark Curry and the Crash Test Dummies).

I had i bit too much Jeager and Rumplemiz tonight (not really a topic, just a statement).

Discuss.

(EDIT: I don't know how to do tags)

Good recovery though

If you’re sober enough to catch it, then it means you should drink more

Thingray is awesome

BUT

Is it wrong that I jumped the gun on this, just to be able to finally post one of these things?

Yes.

This post is also required to have excellent tags.

Edit FanPost

at the top right, there’s a box that says “Tags:” and then a long text box. Enter tags, separated by commas. But don’t forget that they come out in all lowercase letters and the only punctuation it accepts are apostrophes ;)

Yup, I went to bed right after I posted that

I was only awake because I flipped my laptop on to pay my phone bill which I forgot to pay earlier and found out that my online account wasn’t working, so now I need to call Verizon today. UGH!

by seattlebruin on Oct 24, 2008 6:21 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes, that appeared to work

And he’s probably in bed, seeing as how he normally arrives at work in like 5 and a half hours

Best canadian musicians = Tegan & Sara

They’re sooooooo amazing. Or as I always and inclined to say, “EASILY my favorite Canadian indie-pop-folk duo made up of twin sisters who happen to also both be lesbians.” Plus, for all intents and purposes, I got sexually assaulted by a hammered chick in their pit during Sasquatch! this year, which makes for a pretty great story.

Tegan & Sara are good

but 18 months ago I fell in love with Basia Bulat, from Ontario (London, Ontario to be more specific, but that just confuses things as I saw her in London). She was the support act at a Sondre Lerche gig and was pretty mesmerising. If you’re at all into your folk music, look up the album “Oh My Darling”, it’s brilliant.

I left the gig before Sondre Lerche came on.

Metric and Broken Social Scene rock.

I freaking love New Pornographers

Especially when Neko is singing with them.

I love Emily. Her solo stuff is also amazing.

my question about her is

where to start? I have not heard of this person and I am now intrigued.

Sooooo, same question

any particular album (Metric or solo) that I should start with?

Knives Don't Have Your Back.

Dr. Blind:

The Lack of Light
Hollow Sea
Poison Beaches
Limousines
Toothless Dentists
Cops That Kill

My baby’s got the lonesome lows
don’t quite go away overnight
doctor blind just prescribe the blue ones
if the dizzying highs
don’t subside overnight
doctor blind just prescribe the red ones

hard to hold
cold to touch
fall to pieces
treat the rush in hindsight
with prime time talk
all your pain
will end here
let the doctor
soothe your brain, dear

My baby’s got the lonesome lows
don’t quite go away overnight

This is a much better thing to do. I suck.

One of my English friends said "easy peasy lemon squeezy" to me the other night

I didn’t know whether to laugh or punch him in the throat.

It would have been fine had he stopped at "easy peasy"

but to see a guy that looks like Dave Mustaine start spouting rhymes like that was a bit odd.

Actually, I was thinking of going as a Peanuts comic I read once

In which Charlie Brown screws up the ghost costume and cuts multiple holes in the sheet.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Oct 24, 2008 5:00 AM PDT   0 recs

Isn't that from The Great Pumpkin TV show?

It’s entirely possible it’s also a strip, though. Wjhat a great comic. How’d the test go?

It is possible but I am fairly sure it is from a strip also.

The exam was hell, featuring things about which I’d never read, and heavily weighted toward biology rather than public health.

That sucks.

What sucks about today = I caught my wife's cold.

What’s awesome about today = I’m not going to work because of the cold.

Answers

1. Never seen a woman pick a fight in a bar. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, I’ve just never seen it. (I’m assuming you mean fistfight)
2. Yes. Patience is a virtue. Rushing makes one look overeager and desperate for approval.
3. Have not seen it.
4. Not a costume person, sorry.
5. Not a huge tequila drinker, but I do like Herradura every now and again.
6. the Smugglers, Bum, Nardwuar, Cub
7. Ibuprofen and water are your friends.

In a completely unrelated side note GODDAMN IT WAS COLD ON MY RIDE IN THIS MORNING.
