2/4 OTFPOTD: The 'How To' Edition

Tiny by Phildopip on Comment 661 comments

Ever wondered, "How can I be hot?" Now you can find out.

Ever wondered, "How can I limit my alcohol intake?" Now you can find out.

Ever wondered, "How can I be on MTV's 'Grind'?" Now you can find out.

Ever wondered, "How can I draw a Manga dog?" Now you can find out.

And now for something compelely different: Best Buy is offering an exclusive deal that if you preorder the re-issue of Pearl Jam's iconic album "Ten", you will receive a redeemable code to download live versions of "Brother", "Alive" and "State of Love and Trust" for Rock Band for free. Does anybody know if these tracks will be available for purchase through the Rock Band store, or if you'll only be able to get these tracks if you preorder the actual album from Best Buy? If a preorder is required, I may have to go back on my boycot of Best Buy, dammit. "State of Love and Trust" is one of my favorite Pearl Jam tunes, and to sing it in Rock Band would be otherworldly.

As long as we're on the how-to theme... anyone ever had a partially-torn rotator cuff?

If so, were you able to fix it without surgery?

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

by abender20 on Feb 4, 2009 9:08 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yes. I had a "minor tear."

As “minor” as it may have been, it was agonizing, and I couldn’t lift my arm. I slowly rehabbed it by standing at my side about two feet from a flat wall, and slowly walked two fingers up the wall until my arm was above my head. Repeated as long as I could take it a few times a day. Took about two weeks.

My dad tore his rotator cuff lifting weights in 1987. He decided to try and rehab it without surgery.

He ended up having the surgery about two years ago after re-injuring it seven more times and eventually not being able to lift his arm above his waist without blinding pain and not being able to lift it above his head at all.

Hahahaha you posted it Phildopop you sly dog!

Least I checked before posting. Tucked away for a rainy day.

Isn’t Pearl Jam releasing four different versions of that release? I think I read one of them comes with an early demo tape, but maybe I’m thinking of something else entirely.

Yup, though Best Buy (right now) is only selling two of them.

There’s a deluxe version ($200), and a non-deluxe version ($38)

I mean, I get the whole “collectible, commemorative” angle, but in a country where 150K people are losing their jobs every couple weeks it seems….the wrong time for a $200 limited edition CD, especially from a band like Pearl Jam.

I pre-ordered the basic disc because it says the Rock Band tracks come with both versions.

There are a few bands I would drop $100+ on for a CD. Pearl Jam is not one of those bands.

Regarding alcohol intake.

Every once in a while I go through phases where I just am not interested in drinking. It is difficult to explain, but basically times and places where I would normally drink I find that I would rather just have some water. Longest stretch I ever had of this lasted almost 6 months.

Does anyone else have this happen?

Funny you should mention that

Today is the fourth day of Booze-Free February for me. I’m taking the month off from drinking; partly for health reasons, partly because it’s a good thing to do every now and again just to prove that you can. The most important bit is that I am not changing my habits – I went to a brewpub Monday night, and one that I’ve never been to at that, and just had cranberry juice – but just taking some time off.

I think about doing this occasionally, but I just don't have the willpower.

I just ease way back on my nights out, and make my stays at the bar shorter. Maybe stop for one beer on the way home instead of sticking around and having 3 or 4.

Free stomach ache?

Why were they free?

Don't know.

Marketing gimmick perhaps, getting people in the door in a recession time.

Get 'em drunk.

That will get ME to go to Denny’s.

This is the only reason I've ever set foot in an IHOP.

My friends and I were drunk, it was 4:30am, and the sign said OPEN.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

When Iived on Maui, IHOP was THE place to go for breakfast.

They always got your order wrong, then gave it to you for free instead of fixing it.

I don't get it either, but it is a true obsession.

I'd imagine the whole "being an island a long way away from anything"

made it hard to get fresh meat, at least not cheaply. While it may be better now, I imagine it was something that everyone was raised on and now it’s a cultural thing.

Actually I was just talking to my assistant (who is Hawaiian)

and she said it was because there was so much military there back when spam was a ration. People got used to eating it, and now it’s become part of the native cuisine.

Hilarious website:

fmylife.com (fuck my life)

Some of my favorites:

Today, I went on a first date with an Egyptian/Cuban sorority girl. I asked her what language she was brought up speaking. She said that her mom spoke to her in Spanish, but that she only ever replied in English. I said, “Oh, kinda like Chewbacca and Han Solo?” FML
Today, I showed my boyfriend a picture of me in what I thought was a sexy skintight dress. He responded by saying “it’s ok, I went through a pudgy stage too”. The picture was from Saturday night. FML
Today, I was taking the elevator down with a group of people. It stopped on the 2nd floor and I said “What asshole can’t take the steps from the 2nd floor?” Then a kid in a wheelchair got on. FML
Today, after a late night at the bars, I stepped into my building’s elevator with a Chinese man who was carrying a plastic bag. Without thinking I said, “Oooh, are you still delivering?” His response, “I live here.” FML

I like this one.
Today, I found FML for the first time in class, and literally laughed out loud in the middle of the lecture in front of 200 classmates. Today’s lecture? The cruelties of slavery. FML

I used to do that all the time. I get bored easily and I am a bit of an escapist so my mind is constantly elsewhere. I would often during the middle of a test remember something funny and laugh out loud. My classmates would always give me the fight or flight stare for a few seconds.

Today, my friend’s son asked me how much coke costs in this place. I told him “about a dollar?” He said “wow, that’s really cheap for blow.” He’s 10. FML

In fact, the bat’leth is an incredibly shitty weapon even by pre-gunpowder standards. It’s clumsy, heavy and, because you need two hands to use it, it has almost no reach. You can go one handed to swing at your opponent, but that sends the other razor-sharp end directly at your own gut.

No, but I'm eating Sugar Babies right now.

That looks bad when you actually type it out.

Seriously though,

How big of a music scene can Bellingham have? There’s the one college, but the other half of the city is 75+ years old. I wouldn’t think it would be a hot bed of new music.

Half is 75+

This is entirely false statement.

But our music scene isn’t great.

The north end of town by my grandparents seemed like a giant nursing home until recently.

They just built a three or four story apartment building less than 15 feet from my grandparents house a few years back.

They used to be out in the middle of nowhere back when I was a kid (before Bellis Fair).

I've got a friend who performs there quite a bit.

I only spent a few days in Bellingham back in college, but it seemed like a pretty fun town.

Estrus Records was one of my favorite labels in the late 90s and it was headquartered there.

They also had the world’s best garage rock festival, which they stopped doing before I turned 21. >:(
