PrintI figure it's probably time for me to step up and pull my weight around here.
Some topics for discussion:
Clearly it's time to ban text messaging altogether
Clarifying the New Orleans accent -- and 75% of Brits want a different one
What should Scrappy's sign say? (PS--we need about 35 more investors)
God, you people are needy.
Which bands should I pay most attention to at VooDoo?
What is the true way to make a martini?
Do we have a dress code at Scrappy's?
What's the best Halloween costume you've seen?
My brain is tired.

It sure is nice to have a refuge from political discussion.
No one here belittles me for being Alaskan.

More like 59-0 was your loss.
I just had to bring it up because this is the first I have seen of you since that epic slaughter.
I do thank you guys for beating Tennessee, though.
Now if only ASU can regroup and beat Georgia
then this will be the best college football season ever.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
I love my "accent".
It’s about as generic as you can get. Nobody knows where I’m from when I’m talking to them.
I’ve noticed that I’m picking up some of the NNJ colloquialisms, though, and that bugs me. So I actively monitor how I speak to prevent those from coming out. I really need to move away from here.

My tell tale sign that I have spent too much time there and I need to return home is when I use the word reckon. . . in my thoughts.

Ugh.
I’d probably blow my brains out to clear that out of my head.
Going along with the article, I’d say that the reason that Southerners love their accents is the same reason they love their states: they don’t know any better. I’ve lived there, and I see nothing redeeming.

People who talk in a southern dialect are not always xenophobic, bigoted assholes.
What’s your point?
My point is how you speak is nothing to make a crowning achievement of your life.
I speak with a nondescript accent because I’ve lived pretty much everywhere, and work at it. People who are born in the south or NYC or Boston (etc, etc) shouldn’t be proud of the fact that no one outside of their region can understand them. It breeds a regionalistic (not a word, I know) attitude and encourages the tribalism that makes it hard for outsiders to fit in and for members to fit into other regions. It’s a lose lose for the sake of aesthetics.

If you can tell Alaska has a unique dialect
then dialects bother you way more than they should.
Actually, it's a talent of linguists and one that I wish I could have.
They can often pinpoint an accent to not only the region but to the city itself.

To be fair, it's probably done me more good
then the database repair and programming I taught her.
But to answer Brian, I would say that I have no problem with most dialects, aside from inner-city ebonics and certain regions (fuck you, northern Brooklyn) that have warped their speaking to the point where it becomes an impediment to getting things done.
As an aside, my cousin now works with inner-city adult learning centers trying to correct the speech patterns of people that want to get jobs that require speaking to the rest of the US.

My dad (lived in Alaska for the better part of two decades)
always told me this was a normal thought for an Alaskan.
A friend from Washington visited me last week.
She asked why so many businesses in Alaska referenced the name of our state. Great Alaskan Pizza Company, Alaska Dry Cleaners, Alaska Dental, etc. I told her that it is because Alaska is kick-ass, so people from non kick-ass states just don’t understand.
Fear the NPE
From all the stories I've heard from my dad while growing up
I wish I had been raised in Alaska.
I have traveled all over the world. . .
I have seen Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. Walked through Faniel Hall in Boston. Flirted with a Cuban girl in Miami. Cruised the badlands of Dakota. Seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans and toured the Bayou. Walked through Graceland in Memphis. Ate a peach in Georgia. Lounged on the Beach in the Caribbean and sipped mai tais in Hawaii. Lived in downtown Seattle and walked the market daily. Gambled in Vegas. Drove down Mullholland.
I consider myself a “city boy” who loves culture and art and a nice glass of wine. Yet, after my travels I land at Anchorage Intn’l Airport. Look out at the Chugach Mountains. Breath it all in and say to myself: “I’m Home.”

Kinda poetic ain't it? (in the voice of Bugs).
Pretty nice piece of writing.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
It was.
Statistically describing the world (I’m only reading said statistics) in mathematical language is making my brain hurt lately. I need more poetry/metaphors whatever I’m talking about in my life. Besides I grew up predominately on Jack London/Robert Service among a couple others. I’ve yet to visit Alaska, but it’s in my future plans.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
When you leave a little bit of AK stays with you.
There is something about the massive expanse of Alaska and our unique relationship between progress and nature that makes you believe that there are some things and some places in this world that are truly unique and worth fighting for.

It is an English aproximation from the French verb "faire" to make.
In the french language you use a conjugation of faire when describing a visit to the market. When Cajun French began to die out, some of the language customs were held over into the English.

My favorite one when I went to Alabama a lot for work
was “might could”. Every time I’d ask my software vendor if there was a feature we could add, change, or otherwise work on, he’d cock his head, look at me, and say “yeah, we might could be able to do that – but not by the end of the week”. The first time he said “might could” I had to try really hard not to laugh.

A wee bit o'history
Arsenal (my favorite team) are historically (like, back to the early 1900’s) rivals with their nearest geographic neighbor, Tottenham Hotspur (aka “spurs” – never “the spurs”).
This rivalry was a whole lot more interesting when spurs were a good team, but nowadays they’re a trainwreck while Arsenal are typically a top-four or -five team. I actually wish spurs WOULD get their act together, those Arse-spurs games used to be a lot of fun but now they’re just kinda sad.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I know a lot of EPL teams by their formal name
Generally, when someone drops a strange nickname, I know it’s usually a sound-alike reference to a team, so I piece it together that way.
Wait, Arsenal really gets abbreviated to Arse?

Lupus was a serious diagnosis topic at first.
Then it became a running joke, because Lupus is such a goddamn generic disease. Inflammation? It might be Lupus. Neurological? Might be Lupus.
The show is formulaic, but no moreso than other shows on television. It’s important to remember that this isn’t a standard drama, it’s more of a Law & Order type show that uses medicine as a theme.
This explains why I don't watch (or like) most TV.
I recently found the only reality show I’ve ever liked about 4 years after it ended, and it was all about duping a guy into thinking he’s on a reality show.

See, I liked Xenosaga and Xenogears because the story was intriguing.
Metal Gear Solid was simply generic third person shooting #25 at the time.
Xenogears has the most overrated RPG story ever
Its like every bad Anime cliche, couple with a shit load of Western Sci Fi references.
For fuck’s sake it rips off Soylent Green.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
I like a lot of stuff
Just because I have some modicum of taste and don’t jizz myself over every second rate derivative JRPG.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
There seem to be a fair amount of people who disagree with your position on Xenogears.
Mainstream reviewers or not, it seems like enough people enjoyed it to suggest there was some redeeming value in it.
You're not changing my opinion
its a horribly paced game, with a so so translation of a story that attempts to be deep and thought provoking but is just a mish mash of cliches.
How is 30 minutes of shitty turn based battling, followed by 2 hours of cutscenes a good game?
People jizzed all over pretty much every JRPG on the PS1. That was the big thing at the time. Just like now almost every shit FPS gets good reviews.
I can’t think of anything unique or interesting about Xenogears.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
See, your problem seems to be that a game has to be groundbreaking
otherwise it’s shit. I don’t have a problem with a game that isn’t System Shock 2 reborn. Notice how I never said Xenosaga/Xenogears was teh bestest RPG evar.
People are capable of enjoying games that don’t rank 100 on IGN. I liked Xenogears because I enjoy narrative based games even if they contain a few cliches. I didn’t enjoy MGS because what the fuck this shit is bananas.
I also said
that the narrative sucks. Its barely coherent, over drawn, and horribly paced.
The game doesn’t have to be ground breaking, but it would be nice if it let me play it for more than 10 minutes at a time and that it was FUN when I actually got to play it.
You can’t tell me you took that piece of shit story seriously when they crucified that fucking Pink teddy bear thing.

The list looks pretty decent, though it is heavy on Sigur Ros. Of the 25 songs there are 6 Sigur Ros songs. The artists with the most songs are Mogwai and The Album Leaf with 2 a piece.

it’s not BAD, really, it just doesn’t suggest anything to me that I don’t already know. And if you have songs in your iTunes library that are spelled differently than they are in the iTunes store, they’ll be suggested for you even though you own them already.

At the risk of sounding like an indie hippie or something… what makes a song appealing is its unique sound and the context that follows it, and if you have Apple pull up a bunch of songs that sound like it, well… not a lot of unique identity and context there.

"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
It's a really good film

I'm thinking of the same movie. Now #1 on 'flix.
I see they did a Crank 2 (I thought his guy died, huh), The Brazilian Job, and Transporter 3. Mr. Statham has been a very busy boy. He’s this generations go-to guy for “Movies for Guys that Like Movies”.

Acblue’s comment above made me question myself. I’ve been looking for spot to mention it though, like I said my wife may have designs on it for the kids. But I won’t let them watch video or tv until they are around 4, so I’m thinking the ‘educational’ software won’t run on it by then. I’ll start working on her. I have to sneak my logic up on her slowly, or she’ll dig in her heals and I’m screwed.

Like I said she may have designs on it, I just need 1. find out how serious are those plans. 2. do so without sending up signals on her “get my way” radar. 3. subvert said plans with carefully planted comments leading her to believe she should donate the e-mac to one kevin_ess, all the while thinking it was an original idea.

Solid route-running, good hands.
That’s all a slot receiver needs in the WCO.

At this point, it’s just bobbing for talent at WR because they’re so thin. They’re not expecting Keary to provide anything more than depth.
You're just biased
because of his Alma Mater.
So am I, KC is awesome. Not a star or anything but he’s a great route runner who works his ass off.

Does anyone else bank with WaMu?
If so, have they been placing three day holds on every single deposit you place? They’re doing this to me, and I assumed it was because I was using the ATM to deposit, but I went into the bank to make a deposit yesterday and they did the same thing.

They're inches away from going bust
so they’re probably doing the corporate equivalent of floating checks. Holding your money so they can get a couple extra days of interest on it before they let you use it.
I don’t know this for a fact, but it seems like something a struggling bank might do. All this reminds me that I need to move my money out of WaMu before they get bought by B of A.

My car loan is through BECU, and I love them, but WaMu has been fine until now.
The teller told me that I would have access to $100 of my deposit, and my response was, “Well, that’s not very helpful, seeing as how my rent is significantly more than $100.” I hate to pull my money out of a bank that’s about to fail, but it’s not very much, and I need access to it.

I'm loath to leave WaMu
but only because I’m a low-impact bank customer. I have a savings account and a checking account, neither of which even come close to sniffing the 100K FDIC limit, so even if WaMu does go belly-up I’ll still have access to my money. I became a WaMu customer almost 20 years ago after having massive problems with B of A, so if it does turn out that B of A buys the carcass of WaMu I’ll move then, but for now I’ll stay put.

I was sad to leave WaMu, because they've been a really good bank for me (MUCH better than B of A).

So is mine. $20 was an approximation.

Dash of Angostura bitters (can also use orange, but Angostura’s better)
Olive (I hate olives but it’s a classic martini thing so whatever)

Maybe destroy hats that aren't worn properly.
There shouldn’t be a penalty for wearing a ballcap to go drink a beer and watch a game.

As long as "worn properly"
is defined as ONLY bill facing forwards (NO backwards, NO sideways, nothing like that), I suppose I could be talked into it.

Although I think backwards has become acceptable,
I would not mind “forwards” being required. I just think a ballcap is acceptable beer drinking attire (especially at the beach).

Backwards will never be acceptable

You can always do what they di at the first bar I worked at.
If a douchebag walked in, all the regulars made it clear he wasn’t welcome and pretty much taunted him until he left.
The first time I walked in I thought I was going to get my ass kicked, and I’m a nice guy. But I had to earn the respect of the regulars, and once I did they always made sure I had a beer and a bar stool.
