The Off-Topic Thread of Pre-Weekend Joy (September 5th edition)

Hank has to go down with Costanza and Homer Simpson as one of the greatest characters ever.

Agree with # 7, but somebody has talent to put that vid together

I wish they had put it on one of their records so I could listen to it again.

man, I loved that show.

I’m trying to look up the name, but the cartoon was awesome, and each week there was a famous comedian who played his patient.

Jay Sherman FTW

I shouldn’t say that – all I knew him from was Ratatouille. I knew he was a standup comic, but never heard his stuff; he played the Sub Pop comedy show, though, and he was freakin’ hysterical. On a night that David Cross absolutely SUCKED BALLS, Oswalt was the funniest part of the whole night.

Caption: “Take it easy T2, it’s called ‘jogging’.”

I’ve heard good things.

They got the idea from this by being drunk in a bar…

Why am I not surprised…

and a lot of her scene buddies are super excited for this.

I was impressed by the quality of the album. Not really my type of music but it was pretty well done.

Ummmm…crap. Reply quickly. I don’t want to post my cell number on here but I won’t have internet for very long.

Put him on ice and he wins the gold.

Or am I gonna do a great show today and help people?

Loves me some Part Man Part Horse and the Intelligence as well. And that live Pierced Arrows song is, of course, quite brilliant.

and there’s nobody playing tonight that I really want to see. The Gits movie is showing today, but it’s at the Mission at 1pm and I have to work.

The disc that contains that song (is that disc 2?) is my favorite of the three 69 Love Songs discs.

Good god I love that song.

Ears ringing? The Monkey Pub isn’t quite as frenetic a scene, and it’s cheap(ish).

Cheapish yes, but if you’re ears are ringing, the Monkey Pub on a Saturday night is a really, really bad place to go for some quiet. It’s tiny, has low ceilings and books nothing but really, really loud bands.

BTW, Joshua Ellis’ Citylife column was also called All Tomorrow’s Parties and it predated this drek by about a decade.

Hot-Spots columns are usually mainstream fluff, and worthless.

for Horse With No Name or whatever that damn song is called.

And add The Association, the Zombies, The Ocean Blue, and Simon & Garfunkel to your America channel, and that’s pretty much what I listen to all day.

and saw me playing Madden on my dev kit. Didn’t say anything about it but did give me something to look into.

I’ve heard good things, though.

It’s hard to answer that question until your Friday plan is clear – the answer really depends on your goal. The fact that you’ve never drunk or been drunk before kinda changes the parameters a bit.

If the goal is to get so blasted that you don’t remember the evening, a mix of Jagermeister and beer should do the trick. If, however, you want to have some memories of the evening, I’d stick with beer.
