OTFP: All-Star Band Edition 11/03

Email
PrintWhen people ask me who my favorite band is anymore, I never have an answer. But what I have figured out is what my favorite band WOULD be, if I could make it happen. I want Fred Schneider from the B52's:
And then I want the two guys from The Proclaimers:
And then I want Sean Paul.
And I want them to sing a capella.
Say what you will about that band, but it would be just about the most vocally distinctive band ever.

I sang "I Wanna Be" by the Proclaimers this weekend in Singstar
and it was awesomely fun.

I have officially dropped 10 pounds since this summer, according to Wii Fit.
I’m kindof excited about that, but now I’m going to have to do things like lift weights to avoid being a stick.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Nov 3, 2008 7:42 AM PST reply actions
Embrace your stick-ness.
When I was 22 I weighed 126 lb.
Eleven years later I weigh like 226 lb.
Sticky was better.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
I like being an athleticly-built stick.
I’m at 155 right now.

I'm about 140 right now.

My Halloween party was epic
It’s like will probably never be recreated in Zagreb ever again. Well at least until I top it next year. I had the Croatian police called on me 3 separate times. They were not happy when I showed them my diplomatic ID (meaning diplomatic immunity) and asked them politely to move along and let us have our fun. Here are some pics for who ever is interested -

I'm glad to know that Croatia also embraces the "add slutty to any character" concept.
And diplomatic immunity must come in handy.

I'm glad you don't as I'm pretty sure your fear of punishment is all that is preventing you from a murderous rampage.

Remember, it's just dip immunity from the host nation laws, not our own.
If I ran somebody over while drunk out of my mind at the same time I was snorting coke off of a hooker, I would get kicked out of Croatia and then have to face US prosecution.
Dip immunity really does come in handy
But we try not to abuse it. The first time the cops came by it was before 10pm. I was like are you fucking kidding me, I’m definitely calling dip immunity on this one! The funniest is when they were all excited to bust me and then they saw my id and looked like little kids that just had their easter basket taken away from them. I almost laughed right in their face.
Or kids whose parents take their halloween candy and steal all the snickers and reeces cups.

The last time that I lived in the states for any length of time longer than 1 year ended in 1995. And the last time I played Where in the World is Carmen San Diego was on a Commodore 64. I didn’t know there was a song associated with it.
I don't judge; I just clarify.

He did fly through at least a couple of them unintelligibly.

Chewy bacon is the best thing ever.
Cooked just enough to make the fat clear.

Let me revise.
I like crisp bacon for sandwiches. For many other things it does not need to be crisp.
We can agree on that.
For just plain bacon with breakfast I prefer chewy though.

So have any of the gamers here picked up Fallout 3?
It’s pretty great, and it looks amazing. Also, anybody crying for their wallet after this holiday season with so many high quality games coming out? Already had Fallout 3, Dead Space, Fable 2, Far Cry 2, and coming up soon is the new Call of Duty, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Mirror’s Edge, and many others. I’m going to go broke trying to get through all of them . Anybody tried the demo for Mirror’s Edge yet? It’s incredible.

There's your problem right there.
When you have a cold, the LAST thing you want to consume is a lot of sugar.
Try some Kali B, which you can get in the organics/health section at Fred Meyer. Or Gelsemium. Or both. And since it’s likely viral, take some elderberry. I’m mass into homeopathy for attacking colds. I swear by that stuff!

I work across the street from Fred Meyers,
I’ll go check it out. I’m sick of this cold.
Why is sugar so bad?
Man do I love midgets.
There goes my orange juice theory.
Although it’s worked for me for years. Like I said, I’m heading over to Fred Meyers during my break to grab some zinc and other stuff.
Man do I love midgets.
Yeah...
OJ is commonly ‘prescribed’ because of its connection w/vitamin C. Certainly it’s not the worst thing to drink, but the key is to get the Vitamin C. Zinc, too, is helpful. But even C and Zinc are only part of the army needed. Elderberry, which my father does NOT smell like, BTW, has been proven to combat viruses (which colds generally originate from, although the symptoms come on from the bacterial infection, which the C, Zinc, sugar-avoidance, and other immunity boosters help attack).
This signature space for rent.
Off to Freds for C, zinc and elderberry then.
Man do I love midgets.
So I found elderberry/zinc tablets at Freds.
Hopefully those help.
Man do I love midgets.
Yup.
I down those frequently when I have a cold.
And drink Elderberry/Echninacea tea, even though they’ve pretty much scientifically ruled out the benefits of Echinacea (however you spell it) on colds.

The ones I found are sweetened with natural rice syrup as well.
So no sugar.

In fact I purposely avoid it. Iced, hot, sweet.. I don’t care for any of it.
Man do I love midgets.

I left work for home, and had to pick my kid up in betweeen
Just got back a few minutes ago. Of course, I wasn’t participating much earlier since I had to use my phone instead of the laptop today, but still…
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I missed a joke somewhere.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm not on facebook, so that would explain it.
Man do I love midgets.
That's what some people say,
say, but since I’ve skipped myspace and all that other stuff for this long, I figure I can get by without them.
Man do I love midgets.
There's an echo in my keyboard apparently.
Man do I love midgets.
I am not really interested in people from my past finding me.
Although my wife and brother are both on Facebook and people are always asking them how to get in touch with me.
At least my wife asks first, my brother just gives people my email.
People fins me that way occasionally too.
I mostly just don’t want another place to monitor for messages. I already have to many places to check as it is.
Man do I love midgets.
FB emails you when you get messages.
It’s the only time I check it.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I don't even get messages from there
My only friends on there are you guys, my fiancee, and her best friend. Coincidentally, her best friend is the only one to have wished me Happy Birthday when Facebook was telling people that it was my birthday. Therefore you all suck
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
After you turn 21 you only get a birthday every ten years until you're 90.

Yeah, that's how I figure it
And for the record, none of you suck. I didn’t even tell anybody at my work that it was my birthday. It’s just a day, and a day that is largely unimportant in the world. Although I share with John Lennon, so that’s cool
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I'm sort of pissed I can't hide my birthday.

Happy birthday.
My gift to you is a smug nod in your direction, and the understanding you’ll agree I don’t need to acknowledge your birth, as it’s been done too many times.
Here’s to a handful more!
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
You respond in much the same way as I do everybody else
And for that, you are a great person

On the facebook, that is
I’m sure you are missing out on the LL discussion there, though
Ryan Rowland-Smith for President
Yeah, I just didn't want to pollute the Fan Post section with another
obnoxious “Hey! Party at my house! Wheee!” post.
It also turns out that it may be impossible to find the discussion boards for groups from the mobile site.

Ahhhh. I am having a party on December 7, 3pm.
Roast turkey, 5 kinds of stuffing, pies, off topic ice cream. Email me if you want more info, ok?
Wow!
Sounds wonderful, but I’ll have to pass. December is full of birthdays for me.

Although I think he was purposely pronouncing esses as “essays”

I'm starting to feel the same way.
I didn’t even know how to respond to it originally. I had thought of just correcting him and letting it be, but I didn’t have it in me

Yeah. From anybody else here, I would have taken it as a joke
But I was completely unsure in this case. Not that it offended me or anything of course, but the fact that somebody would honestly both think that, as well as ask it in that way was just odd. Plus, if I was a chick then my screenname would be a bad choice

Oh I was just tired is all. A friend came over with a bottle of Milagro tequila after I got home and I stayed up way too late.
Once I get coffee things will start looking up. Thank you again for having me over.
Good lord! I pretty much crashed right after you left.

It's my birthday
So far so good. Can’t really do what I want to do legally yet though. Can do almost everything else though, including voting, so that’s nice I guess.
Congrats
You could buy cigars and in my state you can officially drive past midnight now!
So you're eligible for the draft then?

They'll issue glasses for you if necessary.
They’re helpful that way.

Wee I get $650 for DJing another dance for my former high school!
I don’t care what the hell they tell me to play, they’re paying me what I deserve!
Entertainers get all the dough.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
The sad thing is that I'm making way more DJing
than I ever have as an actual musician.
I'd love to find some sort of statistic
that shows how many DJs are former musicians who couldn’t make enough money by gigging.
You fail to grasp the tremendous pressure of DJing.
I might sprain my index finger pushing the fader from left to right.
Yeah, when I used to work at the bowling alley I'd get paid extra to "DJ"
I’d just play 2 hours worth of crap and pick up extra tips the whole time. Load up the next song and just slide the fader back and forth all night. Grueling…
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Play whatever you want
Just put on a ZZ Top album and loop it until the dance is over.
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
You know, I almost said Tears instead of ZZ Top
How weird. Mix them both. Play “Sharp Dressed Man” and follow it with “Shout”. Rinse and repeat until everybody has left for the night
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
This sounds like a brilliant plan.
I will have to throw in Head over Heels though.
Do it. I love that song.
I’ll even sneak into this dance to enjoy the music. I look young enough, so it shouldn’t be that tough
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I say dress in black and only play Kraut rock all night long.
And refer to yourself at Unglaub, Lord of the Darkness.

What's left to update?
We went on one massive spree.
There will be more to do next season
When we’re blessed with all sorts of new memes and blunders by our favorite baseball franchise.
I was just thinking this as well
but who updated the House of Sparky page?
Wasn't me.
We probably should update the Raul/Cairo/WFB pages to show they’ve filed for FA.
We need to clean up the regulars page or ask an overlord to split it in two
anyone below TheOptimist is getting cut off and I’m on a 22" monitor
Anytime someone says "strange things found on Baker's blog"
there MUST be mention of his MLB 2k8 Mariners
I can't believe he devoted that many entries to that MLB 2k8 team.
MLB 2k8 was terrible.
With a team that bad, you have to blog about something.
It;s not like he was submitting it as his daily column.
Man do I love midgets.
My problem was his choice for centerfielder as "my awesome Canadian Brazilian, eh? It's in the shape of a hockey stick."

Whoa, some of this is just random moments frozen in time.
I love the Jon Huber versus Sean White debate. It’s like debating Pat Borders/Yorvit Torrealba/Wiki Gonzalez.
It’s so mid-2007, it’s verging on Spoon’s “The Underdog.” For the record, I like this. I like history more than up-to-the-minute relevance.
Or perhaps GM Z in honor of both DMZ and Coach K (adding the title before the name)

Not necessarily.
I can take an image that size and bump the frame rate up to 10 and it would look fine. It would just be enormous in file size.
