OTFP: 11/6/08 The Holiday Season has arrived!

PrintEvery year between Halloween and New Year's, I want to crawl under a rock and hide. Between the long dark days, the seemingly endless west side rain, trees laid bare, family commitments nipping at my heels, finding that perfect gift- there are days you just want to buy a ticket to Someplace Else, my favorite destination. So on that cheerful note, have at it!
The news is nothing but NFL roster shuffling, and political post orgasmic wanking. So my usual plan of lame links is even more lame.
When animals attack! Some people handle weird situations better than others, but how did you get there in the first place? Best reason not to be a jogger I've heard yet.
You can make this stuff up, but when people do it for real it's so much funnier.
Didn't Gonzo shoot chickens out of a cannon? Anybody think his chicken fetish was kinda strange?
Soup kitchen is open! Let the Second Great Depression begin!
Also: 8:20, 8:55, 9:50.

Rolling in my six-four with 16 switches!
Let Me Ride is what I’m thinking of, I’ve never been a fan of hip hop, but for some reason I always liked The Chronic.
Thank you
You are so kind. It was a weird birthday, it started out at 8 am in a Japanese hospital. But ended great with awesome packages from home!
You can't post that and not explain.

Long story,
I got undercut in a game last week, landed hard on the floor. Hurt my knee, had to get MRI’s and all that jazz. Had to go back this morning to get a shot into the joint fluid. I guess the shot was nutrients and stuff, but I am not sure. Kinda lost in translation. Then the doctor told me I need surgery, but luckily it can wait til the end of the season.
Actually, funny thing. I got hurt last weekend in the first half, and I wasn’t sure I could play in the second. I was sitting on the bench, and the thing I kept thinking about was Jeff’s post about how pitching through pain in stupid and hurts the team. Anyway, I went back in and played more, but didn’t do much except provide a decoy haha. I can put on a mean decoy act.
So you're saying you didn't hurt the team by playing through pain?
And it’s always fun to have doctors sticking needles in you while you’re not sure exactly what it is they’re giving you.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Nov 6, 2008 7:26 AM PST up reply actions
Yeah, no joke.
Thank God for social medicine too. They told me I can get the surgery in Japan before I leave if I want, I was like, how much will it cost? They said just the copay, so maybe a hundred bucks. Hell yes. Especially considering I don’t have health insurance in the USA!!!
Maybe I need to go play sports in Japan.
I’m already at the point of having the $5k tax write-off in medical expenses this year. Surgery is spendy—and of course they don’t tell you just how much until it’s too late.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Nov 6, 2008 7:31 AM PST up reply actions
Wow.
I had no idea medical bills were tax-deductible. And 5K is crazy. I love social medicine. Especially since I don’t pay any taxes over here, instead I just reap the benefits! Honestly I’m just waiting for the moment when people realize how stupid this job is and take it away. It’s not like real life.
The PNW is my Someplace Else.
I miss the grey skies all the time, and the rain. Rain on the east coast sucks, and it’s either too hot or too cold.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I don't begrudge that point. It's definetly not a place for everyone.
All my favorite memories involve grey winters and camping or biking or going to the coast when a storm is rolling in.
The best part of winter are the stretches where the sky and rain mute all the colors and make everything look like just another shade of grey. It’s as if the world goes monochromatic for a week, not always making the world darker, but more muted and quiet. Motion seems to blur a little, like looking at an endless series of pictures taken in low light. But every once in a while something will break out, and look so sharp and vibrantly colored that you can’t take your eyes off it until it retreats back into the neutral ash that frames it.
Damn, I wish I was home.

Absolutely. Steal away.
I wrote something close to that when I was tasked to describe my favorite place and time for a writing class. It’s the one piece of my writing that I can actually stand to read afterward, and the words I come back to when I get homesick.
I’ll post it here in entirety at some point (when I’m not going completely off of memory), and Graham will delete it after everyone tells me that I suck.

It's a feature, not a bug.
The act of writing makes me happy. I don’t feel the need to share 99.99% of it with other people because if I don’t like what they have to say about it my happiness decreases. This would negate some of the happiness I had gained from writing, which makes me slightly less likely to write in the future, and thus get less happiness from writing due to the drop in quantity.
This is also why I don’t like most of my writing. It makes it easier for me to write for others when I have to because my expectations are so low.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I was speaking more in general terms.

Agreed
We always headed straight for the coast if we heard there was a storm coming in. It’s something not to be missed.
I never appreciated the PNW until living in other regions, I used to think the whole world looked like this.
When the days get short it seems like it happens overnight, kicks my ass for awhile. The winters I’ve spent working in the GOM were pretty nice though. Everyday is like a vacation, lots of sunshine plenty of exercise. The Palouse area is one of my personal favorites. More scenic than Yakima Valley, still with some sunshine, more snow than Seattle. Ski season is upon us! is a nicer ot title, next time.

Did the sysprep yes.
Device manager is showing two unknown “Video Controller (VGA Compatible)”
I just find it odd that this is the only thing that’s not working right. The rest of the hardware is still associated with the correct drivers, it’s just the video that’s having issues.
It isn’t too much of a problem, I can simply redownload the drivers and reinstall them after restoring the image and still have saved a ton of time.
Were the driver files on the image?
Quick tip: when you do images, leave all the driver installs on it. It makes thigns much easier in the long run, especially looking at one a year down the road.

Ciabatta bread, black forest ham, sprouts, avocado. I’m trying to decide between munster or havarti cheese, I’m thinking munster may go better w/ham, havarti with turkey. Either way I think this is the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Completely motivated LL OT threads of course!
Interesting.
I don’t usually sit on my food before I eat it.
Man do I love midgets.
Spices it up like you wouldn't believe, but makes eating a bitch.

My wife's got a three hour layover in Newark on Saturday
but I don’t think sandwiches can be smuggled past the TSA, at least not in any condition to be eaten afterwards.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Food's OK
I fly from Newark all the time with a bag of food to eat on the plane. Sandwiches, whatever.
But drinks aren’t ok. Drinks could be a bomb.
gotta get the food on the gate side of security, though, right?
I thought they confiscated food at the security line – they do that in a lot of places.

They already have booze on the plane, what more do you need?

Booze that doesn't cost $7 a throw would be a good start.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I guess it is pretty pricey, huh....
I only use air travel for vacations, so I guess I never really think about the cost per drink.
Man do I love midgets.
I was pretty astounded
I haven’t flown in about a year, since before they started charging for everything. USAir charges for EVERYTHING – even coffee and water. Which on a two hour flight, whatever, but on a six-hour cross-country flight is pretty goddamn ridiculous. I get charging for sodas, alcohol, even food, but WATER? That’s stupid.
Of course, I’m only this angry about it because my connecting flight was late and I didn’t have time to stop and get my own, but still.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
My last trip I flew on Alaska,
they didn’t even charge me for booze. But that was before the economic plunge. I know Southwest and other airlines usually charge for drinks though.
But it did used to be that soda, juice, water, coffee were free, but you had to pay for alcohol.
Man do I love midgets.
Yeah, that's all changed now
unless you’re in first class you pay for pretty much everything. i believe water and soda are still free on a few airlines (Delta, I believe, still has free stuff like that) but otherwise everything’s pay. the nice thing is that you can in fact bring anything you want ON the plane these days, so if you don’t want to pay exorbitant airline prices you can instead pay exorbitant airport quick-mart prices.

I'l just overpay for drinks in the airport lounge before I get on the plane.
Man do I love midgets.
What she said
Maybe elsewhere, but never at Newark for me, and never at PDX either.
And food is expensive once you get inside.
One thing I don’t understand about the TSA— I can carry on a laptop, with a battery in it, but not a laptop battery by itself. Want to put your battery in your checked baggage so that your carry-on is lighter? Too bad! As far as I can tell, if a laptop battery was a bomb, it would still explode, even if in a laptop.
Does it maybe have something to do with the passenger compartment being pressurized,
where the cargo hold isn’t?
Just guessing here.
Man do I love midgets.
That would make some sense
but that doesn’t really explain why you can have a laptop battery in a laptop in a checked bag, but not by itself in a checked bag.

We didn’t think people would take our registration at all seriously, and that we’d end up getting thirteen gravy boats and a serving platter, but all the family/friends that couldn’t attend apparently sublimated their guilt into purchasing. Which works.

I have always been of the mind that I would not get married until I was a financially stable adult.

buying a house was FAR more of an adult-identifying moment than getting married was. Anybody can get married in 5 seconds in Vegas; it takes trust, accountability, and a willingness to be completely open with another human being in order to buy a house.

Yeah - marriage should be easy.
Sometimes I think that making marriage this vitally important thing moves it from the realm of love and companionship to the realm of human mortgage, and I think that CAN be a problem. I’m with Sec 108, but then I got married in a drive thru – and I’m happy I did.
I’ve been married a long time, and it’s never been a chore for a day. Just have fun (and yeah, making fun of each other helps).

I need to get a spit and start trying some stuff like that when I camp.
Man do I love midgets.
It's so worth it.
I made my own spit, but I know they sell them in outdoors stores. If you have a welder or know someone that welds, it’d cost you about 20$ in materials and time. If you have to buy one, it’ll end up costing you at least 50$.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I do know people who weld.
Heck, they might even be able to get me materials from leftover scrap.
Man do I love midgets.
This as well.
One thing I would recommend is making the down poles extra long (like 5’) and with Us on the ends, not rings. Double weld the Us to the poles and drill a couple holes into a piece of wood to cover the ends while you drive the poles in. If you want to do a pig, get at least 5/8" diam for the cross rod, and give yourself some extra room on the handle so you can park a chair w/o being to close to the fire.
If you want to get really lazy, get a dowel and attach a ring big enough to go over the spit handle and you can spin it with less effort.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I doubt I'll be trying a whole pig,
so I might scale that plan down a bit, but thanks for the pointers!

- get poles longer than what you think you’ll need

Doesn’t have to be anything sophisticated, but it does give you the chance to point out the pros and cons of the kid’s chosen approach; it’s kinda fun if you make them invested in their day.

Well, I just found out that the school I'm attending winter quarter doesn't participate in the federal direct loan program.
I don’t qualify for PELL grants, because my EFC is $7000. Now, I made less than $25k last year, and I’m an independent student. I don’t really see how my EFC can be that high, but whatever. It is.
Anyways, I’m trying to figure out what the likelihood of my qualifying for a Perkins loan is. Tuition is only going to be around $1200 or so a quarter, so a Pekins loan would be fine if I can get the maximum, but I worry that I won’t qualify for the full maximum.

Sounds good, I was actually just thinking about how to get together during the day.
My mind wanders while I’m making lunch. Anyway, some kind of a play day? Your charges are 3 year olds right?
I'll have to figure out when we've got an open day.
Various grandparents are visiting over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a pass to the Seattle Aquarium, and a handful of guest passes, maybe that would work? Otherwise I’m open to suggestions.
And my muppet comment was bait, I hate getting suckered and like to spread the wealth, don’t know how well that worked ; ).
You know what would be funny?

Do I have to be a ma’am? LOL!! Seriously – it was a great show, but the mosh pit was scary. I felt like I was the only girl in there because I was there with a bunch of guys. They pushed me up on top of the crowd and flung me around!! I finally grabbed on of my bigger friends on the way past and made him get me out of the pit!

Opossums freak me the fuck out. In Oakland I had a family of raccoons living under my deck
and a few opossums that lived in the yard somewhere. I refused to sit out in my back yard at night. Wild fucking kingdom.
By the 580?
My grandmother worked at the Kaiser hospital near there.
A raccoon has been in my chicken coop, but I still can't help but love them.
My wife is more in the get-them-out-of-here camp, also due to their tendency to turn on cats. But so far, we’re still in the live-and-let-live place, and it’s cool.
There were tons of them this year; apparently the late summer made a lot of them starve.
er, which means that they were hanging around houses in broad daylight
because they had nothing to lose.
I know
They have been in our yard all summer too! They are big ones too! The cats aren’t freaked out by them, which tells me they hang around alot.
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
They are very clever
and they will fight you for the dog food!
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
One night I walked out my front door to get something from my car
It was very dark out, and I heard some rustling around me in the yard. Unable to see well, I pulled out my cell phone to use as a light so I could see what was going on. There were five raccoons all standing around me, staring at me. The light made their eyes light up all spooky. Fuck raccoons
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I was having a cigarette on my patio a while back, and it was really dark.
I heard some rustling behind me, and opened my phone for light, and there were at least 10 or 12 raccoons with their babies, climbing up a tree about three feet away. I ran in and got my wife. It was a trip. They weren’t even bother by us pointing the flashlight at them.
And then just the other night I tripped on a possum. No joke. Phinney is great for night creatures.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I never see possums at my place any more.
My guess is that the raccoons chased ’em off.
I keep having visions of this Sharks vs. Jets/Gangs of New York thing going down by my shed.
The babies were really cute.
Oh, and you were standing right by that tree the other night.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Yes. If Gomez ever comes over, you are safe.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
See, I'm ok with that kind of stuff
I experience the same often. I have ‘coons, opossums, and several deer that are commonly in my yard. I don’t mind them being there, but in my situation I mentioned, the raccoons had circled around me, and were all up on their hind legs looking at me. Was kinda creepy
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
In fact, the deer were out their a couple days ago
2 bucks and 2 does, just chilling in my yard eating my grass. I sat and watched them out the window for like a half hour. Less than 20 feet from my window, just minding their own business. It’s awesome
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I love that!
We have deer up at the Ranch where my Nana lives and I get up early in the morning and take my coffee and sit on the deck and watch the deer come out of the trees and head for water.
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
Yeah, they just come milling by every once in a while
If I go outside and listen close I can hear them doing their low grunts at each other, real quiet-like. Kinda tough to sit and watch them and not do what I was raised to do, which is shoot them.

Some neighbor kids came by our house asking for a gunnysack.
Think I was about 10. They wanted to hold it under a branch on a tree while one of the kids shook a branch with baby raccoons on it, catching them in the sack. Worked ok, until the momma raccoon dropped from the upper branches and started messing the kid with the sack up all to hell. Then I got in trouble for supplying the sack. Stupid raccoons.

I do too, though as I said in comments over there
it’s tough to sort out rankings. Maybe it’s might fault, all narrow-minded quest for sequential rankings. But anyway, that’s not necessarily a problem with the WAR from reward change, which is just great.
Please do report
I’m thinking of taking my fiancee on this tour, since she likes chocolate and I like making her happy

Ummm 0N
I meant ON – nevermind – I am leaving now
(EMBARASSED)
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
No need to be embarassed
You were just pointing out that your fiancee is not, in fact, a homosexual. Which is good, because he and I have way too much in common and therefore would not be compatible. Plus I’m also not a homosexual, which would complicate things as well
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Well put.
While I may have my fingers in many sinister stews, this would not be one of those occasions.
Man do I love midgets.

Who is
Sinister Stew – is this something I should worry about.
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
Stews. Multiple.
And why you gotta ask so many questions?
Man do I love midgets.
Inquiring minds
wanna know!

For one, accounting stew.
More sinister than you think.
Man do I love midgets.
Hey, Google finally launched Streetview for the Seattle Metro area
And they didn’t even go all the way to my driveway. Must have gotten scared by the dirt road
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Oh great, they took the picture while the bulldozer was in my side yard.
You can kinda’ see in my kitchen window. That’s a bit creepy.

Man do I love midgets.
It's a Monday.
My car isn’t at home and it’s not at the store, but the store is open. The parking lot is empty, so it’s not a Sunday.

It must have been a weekday this summer.
Both of our cars are gone, the lawn is brown, and the recycling is still in front of the garage. The detail is kind of freaky, but cool.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm obsessively trying to find my car.

I could probably look at my work and find mine.
Man do I love midgets.
The Tacoma shots were

I think it was a weekend, because
both my car and my wife’s are there.
God, this is weird.
If I had known they were coming, I would have done something special.
Man do I love midgets.
I saw them driving around my area a few times
Not sure what day it is though. Still looking for my car
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I can't see mine, they didn't get a shot off the parking lot at work.
They took the picture from the street, and the parking lot is up the hill and behind the building.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm trying to check all the different places I could have been.
It seems that there are different times of year for the different areas they’ve shot
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to find myself
They didn’t go down my driveway, so I have no real way of checking there. Bummer
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I have a really long dirt driveway, and they did not go down it
I am happy because of this
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
So they literally drove around and took pictures every four feet or so?
Man do I love midgets.
Yep.
They covered every square inch. It’s amazing.
