OTDOD - 9-23-08 - Uninspired poster edition
Today's offtop, now with less tags than the last.
Possible topics of discussion could or could not include:
- We're outsourcing our plethora of school shootings to Finland. What's the conversion rate to euros?
- I saw 50 Cent in the whitest part of a rich white suburb in NJ today, looking for a place to shoot a movie. Discuss possible implications on sell-outness, and the likelihood for a Method Man-like movie about golf and country clubs. Show your work.
- It's the last week of Mariner baseball. Does this make you happy or sad? Are there any memories of this year you'd like to share with the class?
- I still hate Carl Everett. He didn't even show up at the game I went to just to heckle him.
- Which is better, Ghostbusting or Ghostriding?
- Is LEGO batman really necessary?
- How is BrianL's wrist injury going to effect his posting stats? Feel free to speculate on your LL fantasy team's chances w/o him at top form. I for one predict an uptick in his House% after the Dr visit.
Updated Title to fix misspellings.

So are the Mets the first team to ever give up two grand slams at home to opposing pitchers in the same season?

It was absolutely stellar
The Bad Seeds are one of the most ferocious live bands you’ll ever see. The set list was a great mix of the new record (probably played 8 of the songs off it) and stuff going all the way back to Your Funeral, My Trial; it wasn’t a “Nick Cave Greatest Hits” set per se, but he did hit a lot of the high points. The set closer was an absolutely murderous version of Stagger Lee; how a man that small wrings such intensity and power from that little frame I’ll never know.
It doesn’t replace seeing The Fluid as my show of the year, but it’s pretty damn close.

Have you checked Lafayette airport prices?
I think as a sub hub regional thing, they get subsidized. But then there is the cost of getting TO Lafayette from wherever you’re at, so it probably would wash out anyway.

From a sample size of about 30 casino shows and about 150 morning runs,
I dislike Baton Rouge and Tunica much more. Biloxi at least has a small-town thing going for it that the others lack.
Wait, am I really defending a piece of the south to acblue? Didn’t we already have this discussion from opposite sides?
And for further discussion, what is the relationship between Biloxi and Gulfport? The airport is in Gulfport, but everyone calls it the Biloxi airport. Guilt by association?

Both towns still look like 3rd world countries as of the last time I was there, though. It really sucks that the casinos there didn’t help rebuild, they just got their permits they wanted and started up again.

Back in my day, though,
“selling out” meant more than that – back in the 80’s/early 90’s it was very much the exception, not the rule, that artists sold their stuff to commercials/tv shows/movie trailers/whatever else. So there was always a certain stink to rampant commercialism via music, where these days that’s not necessarily the case. So to me “selling out” means “Verizon Presents So-And-So” when So-and-So could just as easily go on tour without corporate sponsorship.
I don’t actually think that such sponsorship would STOP me from seeing So-And-So, but still.

These days, bands prefer to do things themselves.
Even though Kasabian has some great music, should they be considered sell-outs for getting paid to be on a Madden soundtrack? The days of signing bonuses are on rapid decline. Bands (especially hip hop groups) would receive a huge signing bonus, go out and spend it on fancy homes and cars, not realizing that they were expected to pay that sum back with album sales (or were overly optimistic about their projected sales and realized they were in trouble).
Bands are beginning to market themselves much better, through video games, indie film, and social networking sites.

I need more beer advice.
I just turned 21 today and my parents are coming into town and want to take me to a nice restaurant, and I’m going to let them because it’s a weekday. I obviously can’t get shitfaced, but I want to go somewhere with good beer on tap.
Price isn’t much of an issue because they offered to take me to the Metropolitan Grill. They insist on buying me a really nice dinner so McMenamins or another one of Seattle’s real good bars without much else to offer are probably out of the question. Ideally I’d choose a place with a selection of their own brews but also offers a pretty upscale dinner.
Has anyone ever drank at the Met Grill, even for just one or two drinks? I’m sure they don’t brew their own, but am I right to assume they’ll have something tasty on tap? Or is there somewhere else anyone can recommend me?

Honestly, if you're going to the Met and someone else is footing the bill
and you’re not drinking in quantity, get a martini. They do them better than most Seattle restaurants – the Smoky Met is really good. But, if beer is what you really want, they do have Hoegaarden on tap – the Met isn’t known for their beer, they’re more of a mixed-drink expense-account-money-is-no-object type place.

I'm not a big mixed drink fan, so I'll probably go with the Hoegaarden.
You’re right in that I should take advantage of my parents’ generosity, which is why I’m really trying to find a place with food I certainly can’t afford on my own. That’s definitely priority #1. But it’d be perfect if I could have a great beer with it. I like Hoegaarden a lot and a steak I can cut with my fork sounds absolutely mouthwatering so I’m definitely leaning towards there more than before.

I had the Chateaubriand last time.
I like to consider myself a tiny bit of an adventurest when it comes to food, but that steak ruined me on beef for weeks after. I’m very looking forward to that again, but I just know trying something else there has the potential to be just as or more rewarding. I may have to force myself to try the porterhouse, but I’m gonna need more self convincing. Maybe I’ll go with what goes best with a Martini or a Hoegaarden. But either way there’s no way I can lose.

But the Met has better food
This is the dilemma with downtown Seattle. The places your parents most likely want to take you are great restaurants with good mixed drinks – the beer places are all downscale (still nice but not swanky). Go to the Met, get one of the best steaks you’re ever likely to have, have a good martini, and live like Gordon Gekko for a couple hours; once you see the prices of the entrees you’ll never want to go there again. It’s well worth it if your parents are treating.

Peach schnapps on the rocks was the worst thing I ever heard a guy order.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.

That's terrible.
That would be a girly drink for a girl to order.

No kidding.
But the dude was huge, so I didn’t say anything.

If I were huge and intimidating
I would do girly shit all the time.

I would wear nothing but pink and have a purple fauxhawk with ribbons in it.
I would drink nothing but white wine spritzers and wear women’s jeans.

Delicious.
I also love a good sloe gin fizz.

I can see you wearing a seersucker suit and fedora
standing on a wraparound porch with ceiling fans overhead.
