OTFP: Friday Early Edition 12/6/08
Here's my disclaimer, my mornings are tied up 6 ways to Sunday. So I can post an OT really late the night before, or not at all. Best I can do. Usually headlines are my target, but due to the holiday season I've been avoiding the "news" even more than usual.
I love scavenger hunts. There's probably a bazillion versions online, but the new Google street view function kind of opened up an idea. Find the object, post the location and direction to rotate. For instance, person in a wheelchair. 1118 Summit Ave, Seattle, WA, rotate SSE. It's sort of problematic if you go to the wrong spot, as the people can move from one frame to the next, or the day can change if you turn a corner. I think this could be a lot of fun, but then again it could be completely retarded and a total drag. Perhaps there should be some rules, or some kind of structure. Like a point system based on location of the find, something like that. If the LL community can divide the west coast and creat the NRC vs. PRC conflict, then I'm certain some structure for a scavenger hunt is child play. Or just ignore it as my 75 word filler, and let the chatting proceed.
Things to look for:
Cows, kids playing ball, fire trucks, cop car pulling someone over, house most likely to be a haunted house, person in a mariners jersey, house on fire (at least smoking), people in a boat, person fishing, person most likely a douchebag, giant clock, car with a mattress on the roof, homeless person (just to help out esoteric), famous people (bonus for M's*), people having sex, nude person(s), mail truck on a tow truck*, deer (bonus if it's on a truck), wedding, funeral procession, anymore ideas?
*Too awesome not to add to the list, despite being random finds.
Also, it would be kind of strange to have all the notable happening or people around town eventually tagged, or marked. Madonna? 555 Hollywood Blv., NW, or something like that.

Oh my God my team just got homed so bad.
Last ten minutes of the game: Fouls on them: 1. Fouls on us: 13…not including two technicals.
We also had 4 travels in the last 5 minutes, after not having one the entire game.

Being les than 25 yards from a wild Polar Bear is pretty intense.
Especially when he looks at you with that tilted head and you know he is calculating the odds of getting to you before the security guy could fire his tranq gun.

I can't fucking believe I forgot to watch The Office last night.
First time I’ve ever done that. I guess that shows how disappointed I am with the current state of the show that I don’t even think, “Hey, it’s Thursday. What am I supposed to watch tonight?”

Oh goddammit.
Harmonix has announced that they’re going to release a fucking COUNTRY MUSIC pack for Rock Band. They haven’t confirmed the songs yet, but the artists are as follows:
Brad Paisley
Brooks & Dunn
Dierks Bentley
Dixie Chicks
Miranda Lambert
Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.

Meh.
They all beat the hell out of the Naked Brothers Band. Paisley will be fun on guitar. Hopefully it will be old Dixie Chicks.

It's important to note that none of that is actually country music, it's dreck
now, if they were to put out a Johnny Cash, George Jones, Willie Nelson, or Marty Robbins version of RB, I’d be interested.

I don't see much problem with it.
It’s DLC, so you aren’t required to download it or play it. And all the people that like it for one reason or another will buy the DLC, which just gives Harmonix more reason to expand their thinking to other genres that are under-represented

I still sorta regret the time I went to see him at the party they threw for a convention I attended in Denver, rather than walking down to Coors Field which was not very far from the hotel I was staying at. But I did get into the front row — and they weren’t kidding when they said “no photography!” This one really bad-ass dude that was a spittin-image for my judo-champ 6th grade teacher came lunging after a girl who happened to make the mistake of firing off the flash on her point-and-shoot camera (this was back before digital cameras were cheap and prevalant).

I still remember the first time my sister's oldest son said "shit" for the first time at three
It was a crazy range of emotions – I wanted to laugh out loud, because it was the funniest thing I’d heard all day; I wanted to be the stern uncle and say “you shouldn’t say that in company”, but then…he’s autistic and was pretty non-verbal at the time so I was really proud that he’d learned a new word. So I went with pride. As did my sister, when I told her about it later.

That's pretty good! The one that worries me is I talk to myself under my breath sometimes.
Last thing I need is to drop my boy off the changing table and have him go bombing through the house yelling “she’s a bitch! she’s a bitch! she’s a bitch!” This almost happened when the in-laws were in town recently, fortunately I distracted him and he forgot about it.

It kind of stuck out, in a big way. I’m a little embarrassed now, I didn’t realize how much I curse. My grandfather swore quite a bit, I remember my grandmother making us wash our mouths out with bars of soap and we were giggling at each other.

I certainly understand that.
I wish that we lived in a society where flat-out grammatical errors were frowned upon but long used and well established turns-of-phrase common in specific regions were encouraged. My Mom had to train herself not to say y’all, use Southern cliches and mask her accent for the sake of her career and that makes me really sad.

by Thingray on Dec 5, 2008 12:27 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I would argue that because language is fluid
once something becomes well established enough (and I’m talking over a period of many, many years, not things like “conversate” and "addicting") it ceases to be a grammatical error and becomes a part of the language.
Some things don’t qualify, of course, and some things should be left out of professional communication. So I don’t even think we disagree.

Santa's Private Reserve is pretty good this year.
I would assume you’ve had that though. I’ve been digging Old Ale a lot lately; Port Old Viscosity is fantastic. If you haven’t yet had Double Bastard that’s great too. Also, believe it or not, the Red Hook Double Black is quite good.
Greenwood Market just started carrying Ninkasi and I’m pretty excited to try Tricerahops.

Ninkasi's Christmas beer (Sleigh'r) is quite good, if they have it
but Tricerahops is definitely a tasty beer if they don’t. Santa’s Private is indeed quite good and continues the streak of “Rogue doesn’t make bad beers” that they’ve had going for quite a while now. I’ll have to try those others.

Oaked Bastard is good enough to try

Seagate used to make the worst 5 1/2 drives. Went they quit, they just quit.
You could give them a technical tap and they’d be good for one last spin up, so you had to have your backup drive hooked up and ready. I’m surprised the name Seagate is still around, seems like so many early companies got folded into larger ones and disappeared.

Sometimes I think I lead a stupidly charmed life
I had a meeting this morning that I was really sweating, for a couple reasons. First, because I’m supposed to provide an overview of the capabilities of a stupidly powerful data-mapping tool that we want to use on one of my projects, and I am not a database guy so I have to go reeeeeeeeeeally slow to make sure I don’t miss anything and thus I’m about 4% done with my learning about said tool.
Second, because the guy running the meeting is the smartest dude I’ve met in several years and the thought of going into a demo with this guy and not knowing my stuff, and having him ask me really good questions to which I’d have to answer “uhhh I don’t know I’ll get back to you on that one” seriously gave me the flopsweats.
But, seriously smart dude didn’t have a chance to do what he needed to do for the meeting, so he suggested we cancel. SWEET. Now I can spend the rest of my day continuing to learn Altova MapForce, and if any of you are experts in that particular tool and want to teach me all you know I’d be all over that.

Fox Confessor definitely wasn’t my favorite – she’s starting to follow the Carl Newman School Of Over-Elaboration curriculum a bit more than I like – but live shows never disappoint.

The Ace is less party-centric than the Jupiter
but it’s still a pretty nice hotel, and the deli downstairs (Kenny & Zooks) is really good. And they have Mexican Coca-Cola, the kind made with sugar and not syrup.
The Portland Art Museum’s a pretty quick walk from there, I haven’t been since it expanded but I hear it’s pretty nice. NW 23rd seems to be a “must see” if your GF is into shopping – I find it pretty douchebaggy but there’s lots of boutiques and whatnot, and a really good dive bar (Nob Hill Bar & Grill) for when you get sick of that. The Chinese Garden downtown is pretty cool, but the Japanese Garden at Washington Park is way cooler – it’s an easy MAX ride from where you are staying.

"System" is a generous word for a trail that borders the river
but yes. There is actually about a three-mile loop you can walk, from Hawthorne Bridge to Steel Bridge, that takes you over both bridges and along both sides of the river. The problem with that is that there’s really nothing else to do but walk that trail in that area – all the restaurants/bars and stuff are either downtown or on the eastside, so if all you’re looking for is a walk it’s a great option, but if it’s a walk-plus-see-shops-restaurants-and-museums, not so much.

It's always bothered me: did Coldplay get permission to basically write new lyrics to Kraftwerk's "Computer Love"?
Tell me Kraftwerk got paid for this… I know they’ve acknowledged that they got the melody from there, but there’s “acknowledged” and then there’s “licensed.”

No, it's because in my opinion they weren't good.
Tom Morello is a one trick pony. “Listen! I can make my guitar sound like I’m scratching a record!” At least Tom’s high school buddy Adam Jones (not that Adam Jones) from Tool went out and explored and expanded his style. Tom preferred to spend his time searching for more tattoo ideas.

I’d say you were late since I commented about his style a little earlier, but you put it much better than I did. I can’t stand the way that Tom does his guitar solos in Audioslave. Seriously, ever one of their songs has a break in the middle and it’s just a bunch of “wokka-wokka” guitar sounds. Drives me insane. Every time I think I’m starting to enjoy one of their songs, he pulls that shit and turns me off

After a quick bit of poking around youtube
Yes, that seems like a pretty good analog to my plans. Needs more paint can/paint bucket drum set though

If you want to talk crazy percussion, check out Sleepytime Gorrilla Museum.
They’ve got a regular drummer, and a guy who plays found items such as propane tanks and hubcaps.
The lead singer used to be in Idiot Flesh (equally awesome) and Book Of Knots (Also superb).

Again, sounds like Tchkung!
Drummer + angle grinder + banging rebar on shit, etc. etc.

I love drums
All kinds, so I will look into these. I love when drums are so fast (especially the double kick) that my arms and legs get tired just listening to it because I’m imagining what the guy is doing. This band called Divine Heresy has a drummer that works the double pedals so fast it sounds like a drum track and not the real thing. Here is a clip of a jam session. Watch his legs when they show them.

The drummer for DH doesn't even look like he is moving his feet in that clip
He’s moving so fast that his movement was cut off by the low framerate

Sick dude! The first time I ever heard double base like that was One, Metallica.
But I don’t think Lars was doing it quite like that. Wow, I forgot how much I like metal when it’s done right*.
*Completely pretentious statement, but I’m not particular to much of what falls under the umbrella of metal nowadays.

That's a band I always wanted to share a bill with but never got the chance.
Their concerts were legendarily dangerous. Kind of like my boys the Dwarves.

I can't honestly say I would have ever drawn that parallel
but Flop shows were awesome. I don’t know who started it, but there was a stretch of time when Kurt Bloch would throw cups at Rusty during Flop shows, then Rusty would return the favor at Fastbacks shows, after which everyone started raining cups at Kurt at almost every fbx show, just for fun. Good times.

I heart Flop.
I’m not a big fan of flopsweat, however.

So this past week, SBN has given us
Five for Howling for the Phoenix Coyotes and Litter Box Cats for the Florida Panthers.
What the fiddlesticks?

Maybe they play in a shitty stadium?
Or maybe SBN should start letting people name their own blogs?

Do they have stoned manatees choosing the names?
