I actually didn't know this was going to be the case.
I think there was a subthread a while back trying to decide the best tag, and I don’t think Usain in the Membrane was even mentioned.

They put on a good show - or at least they did about 10 years ago.
Although I think of them as a band to get into during the mid-late teen years when you still have Tiny Toon nostalgia and still find them clever. I’ve never seen them advertise an 18+ or 21+ show and they are non-threatening so parents will let their underage kids go see them.
I also am not a music expert and the sentences above are my non-expert opinion only.

Your first line is right on.
I listened to them a bit in college, liked ‘em OK, then about six months ago put on Flood and didn’t even make it all the way through the second song.

And possess a basic understanding of physics.
And don’t fucking tail other people.
We have the same problem in the rain down here. People go either 4 mph or 70, and at least one person dies virtually every time in rains.
(Though I should say that it rains much harder here than it does in Seattle, the freeways have huge pools in them, and the roads are slick because the rain is so rare. But still . . .)

Austin isn't so bad, but in San Antonio people drive 5mph under the speed limit in both lanes. Furthermore the road construction makes I 10 fearfull to drive on. Another pet peeve is that San Antonians think yield means stop... I could go on and on...

TBH I don't know where the Arboretum area is, I live in South Austin near downtown.
But you won’t need to drive on I-10 going from Austin to SA. The construction is mostly west of downtown SA. As far as the time for the drive anywhere from 1 hour to 1 1/2 depending on the time of day and accidents on I-35.

To put it in Corco terms
Arboretum area is close to the junction of 183 and 1 (Mopac Xpwy). A ways north of downtown Austin. Good to know, thanks for the info.

Yup.
I feel safer driving in Seattle than I do here. California drivers are fast and you have to really try to get a speeding ticket, which is nice sometimes, but I miss being around drivers who use their turn signals and at least make some sort of effort to let you merge.

People in California as a whole drive a lot better than people in Seattle though
by seattlebruin on Dec 9, 2008 11:00 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I would agree with this.
Fast does not mean unsafe, and everybody in CA drives the same way, so at least you know what to expect – up here (Portland’s just as bad) you’ll get a bunch of people going fast and then one guy in the left lane going the speed limit mostly to make a point.

I haven't driven in Seattle in a long time, but that's amazing.
The people here just seem oblivious to the cars around them. That’s my only real problem, but it’s a big one. As pdb says below (or above, by the time I post this), fast can be good. I like doing 70, 75 on the freeway and knowing I’m not going to rear-end someone going 55. I just have my beefs with the cell phone fucks who swerve into my lane with no blinker and almost kill me. I almost got rammed off the road last weekend on my way to L.A., and the dude didn’t even notice me. Then I realized I was interrupting his phone conversation by driving in his universe. My bad, bro.

I'm with you here.
I would like to install a stabbing machine on my car a la Ben Hur so I can demolish cars on the freeway when the driver is texting.
My favorite is the Californian who — despite the new hands-free law — hasn’t bought a Bluetooth earpiece and instead puts the cell phone on speakerphone and holds it in his hand. That is absolutely awesome.

I'm not gonna lie, I just don't care enough to bother with bluetooth until I get my next car, for which integrated bluetooth will be a requirement
but I happen to be a very good driver
by seattlebruin on Dec 9, 2008 11:39 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm getting my lady something that's probably the next best thing.
It’s a Bluetooth speakerphone system that attaches to your visor or something, so you’re talking right into it. And it’s loud enough to hear on the freeways. And you don’t have to fumble with the earpiece, which I’m starting to think is less safe than holding a phone to your ear.
Think I might buy one for myself, too.

This was a fad for cell phone use a couple years ago when I was in Louisiana.
I don’t know if it was anywhere else, but lots of people would hold the phone flat next to their mouth (speakerphone on) while just walking around Wal-Mart or something. Just blabbing away, speakerphone on max volume. Like everybody else wants to hear both sides of the conversation. Yuck.

so apparently there’s this bar in Temecula with a big bell in the back that they ring anytime someone orders Coors, Budweiser, MIller or PBR so that everyone in the bar knows what you just ordered. I suggest we serve these beers at Scrappy’s and have this same policy.

32-37" 1080p HDTVs
It’s a really weird size to be getting 1080p. If there’s a reason you need specifically a 32 or 37" TV, then go for it.
The Samsung above for $700 is solid, and here’s a 37" option
If you’re not locked into that size, there’s some really nice 40-47" TVs that run between $800 and $1,000
Also, just thought I’d mention it, but there’s also this option in the 32" for $1,000 (with blu-ray player).
Honestly, it looks like this week is a down week for deals. I’ll keep my eyes peeled though and let you know if I find anything unreal.

Seattle’d been talking about a third runway for about 15 years – it finally got built, but it took 12 years of discussion to turn a goddamn shovel. Philly, in the late 90’s, built a runway (can’t remember if it was a third or a fifth) AND a new terminal in about five years, conception to ribbon-cutting. There’s no way that was on the up-and-up. But shit got DONE.

I've got 9 guitars
Fenders. Les Paul, you name it. And the one that I get the most satisfaction out of playing is this old 12-string of my Dad’s that I started learning on when I was 14.

Try tuning a hammered dulcimer.
Which reminds me… I need to tune my hammered dulcimer. Actually, I also need to re-string my larger one. It’s not a full-size hammered dulcimer, but it’s still fun to play. My small back-packable one is OK, but I like playing the larger one.

I'M A SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT BITCHES
Every time I’m introduced to someone that’s gone through Six Sigma, they always, without prompting, tell me how close they are to being a black belt. Like I care, and like it matters.
I have always thought that the best job I could have is to be the guy that invents methodologies. Throw together a bunch of buzzwords, make some pie charts, and BOOM I’m rich. Then I invent a new one next year and sell it to the same companies as the natural evolution of what I sold them last year.

I'm entering the age where I'm listening to more underground stuff and I can't stand a lot of the pop rap out there,
but there’s something about T-Pain that is wonderful. It’s all about alcohol and different places where you should drink that alcohol, but the way he uses words is so ridiculous. He’s some sort of absurd poet who knows exactly what he’s doing because he makes songs that are both radio-friendly and highly entertaining even if you pay attention to the words.

Wow, that's gotta piss off Conan something fierce
I know Leno’s new show won’t be the Tonight Show, but a lot of the audience of that show will follow Leno rather than give Conan a chance, especially since Leno’s taking his “best” bits with him. I’d be pretty goddamn mad if I were Conan.

Never thought of it that way but you could be right.
I really want Conan to do well – I love Conan. When he first took over for Dave, during that first week I thought “damn, this guy’s not going to last a month”, but he really developed into a seriously funny dude and I hope moving to Tonight doesn’t mean he has to be less Conan.

Yes.
I don’t think Leno sucks, I just think Conan and Letterman are much better, Letterman’s humor is often very assholish and non-sequitur, and Conan’s humor can be rude, so I can see why Leno has a lot of appeal.

I'm a huge Conan fan, a big Letterman fan, and a moderate Leno fan
My big issue with Leno is that it seems like he’s trying to hard to sell his jokes. Conan just says them, and if nobody laughs then he admits that the joke sucked. Letterman will say it and move on like nothing happened because he’s weird like that

Letterman is just completely off the wall, and Conan is just purely talented with what he’s doing. Leno forces his jokes, and explains them if people don’t laugh which is a huge no-no in my book of things that are funny

I know I'm in the minority here,
but I think this is a good medium for Fallon. I don’t like him in movies, and I didn’t really like him in SNL, but he seems to have the kind of giggly improvisational skills that can make me laugh. I’m oddly optimistic.
That said, I don’t want just another guy aping Conan’s style. Carson Daly is painful enough.
To counteract my optimism, though, I don’t have a good feeling about Conan going to 11:30. Please don’t change, Conan.

The band Swell deserves way more attention than they've received in their career.

I've been listening to them for almost 15 years.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

Hey look, the first full length trailer for the new Terminator movie
When I first heard of this movie, I was terrified that it would be the worst thing ever. But, Christian Bale automatically makes a movie good, and it’s The Terminator. I can’t not watch this movie.
Check the trailer here

T3, when viewed on its own, wasn't that bad of a movie
Didn’t fit much with canon and everything, but if it were a standalone film it would have been just fine. That said, T4 looks so awesome. I think that between Christian Bale and those motherfucking MOTORCYCLE TERMINATORS this film will be just fine

Oh, man. See Terminator SOON.
I saw it as a kid, then saw Terminator 2 a bunch. I was under the impression that all of the deep story lines happened in the second film, but really it was all PERFECTLY set up in the first movie. James Cameron’s forethought was amazing.

Yeah, the punk that runs away when the Arnold first shows up.
His voice is kind of buggy, the only movie he made back then that it worked for me was Aliens. I’m not a fan of his acting, but I like his stuff which makes zero sense.
And I think “Fear” is a great movie (he was actor/director), which is hard to do with Matthew McConaughey carrying the load.
I tried Big Love, but couldn’t get into it. I’m married and have kids, so watching a guy deal with three wives and all the baggage of the religiosity conversant to the perpherant parentialism is baffling. I have no idea what I’m saying.

Baker seems to think that the Mariners could sign Josh Fields.
Link.
The two sides are only $500,000 or so apart, so you know it can get done. Seattle is in the driver’s seat on this one. And no, they don’t have to sign Fields before trading Putz. They have to figure out who is going to be on their 2009 team first. If Putz is there, then there is no urgency to sign Fields and maybe you pass him over in favor of another first-round pick next June. If Putz is dealt, then the team can approach Fields, cough up the $500,000 extra if necessary, and move on from there.

Seems stupid not to get it done.
Unless they regret the pick in the first place.

With Fontaine no longer around
I’m not sure if GMZ would have much of a desire to sign Fields, especially if he thinks he can get better talent in the next draft.

So I finally decide to get some food today
And a customer calls and tells me he will be here in half an hour to buy a car. Always works like that

he’d better damn well BUY the car, then.

The worst is when they do that
And then run late without calling. This guy called at 1:45 and said he’d be about 45 minutes at the max. My luck, he’ll probably get here at like 3:15 and I’ll be pissed because I had time to go and didn’t because he said he’d be here. Just another case of people not giving a shit about us sales people. I spoke to a guy today that had mentioned possibly coming in last weekend. I called because he didn’t show, and he explained why he won’t ever set an appointment with a car salesman because he doesn’t care if somebody is waiting on him. He says he’d rather just show up because us “vultures” (his words) are always happy to help him

If I didn't find so much humor in how people treat us
I would have quit long ago. It’s kind of fun having people automatically think I’m a lying piece of shit, though. Plus it makes it easier for me to keep my customer service scores so high when everybody has low expectations.

Sorta makes you wish for a little less transparency in car sales
so that guy could be hit with all sorts of “dealer charges” like they used to do in the 70’s.

That's probably why most act like that though, unforunately
I’m definitely not going to sit here and say that many car salesmen aren’t pieces of shit; hell, I’ve worked with a bunch. But things are much different now and customers have so much info available that there should be no reason for them to treat us like they do. We have very little opportunity to make any real money on the average person anymore, and we don’t need it rubbed in our faces every time somebody comes on the lot

This is my contention.
As a car buying customer, I am in more or less complete command of what I pay (which no doubt sucks for you, but bear with me), because there’s so much information at my disposal; in that sense, I see no need to see the salesman in anything but a collaborative light, because if I don’t get the price I want from salesman X, no worries, I move on. No need to be douchey about it.

I don't get that though. The guy that sold my wife her Honda was a POS.
But treating every car salesman like I want to treat that guy is a doesn’t make sense to me. He was just a dick, end of story.
By the way, I think we checked out your store. I wasn’t exactly sure which one it was until after bowling. A really nice woman caught us in the parking lot, she was great. Couldn’t find anything in our price range though.
