Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

OTDOD - 6-A-07D9 (Yes, I'm a nerd) Edition



I think it's about time for another one of these bad boys. Some topics for possible discussion:

  • Post-Its are the most useful invention ever
  • Gold chains on men - purely douchey or just a sign of ignorance?
  • The origins of the apparently LL-exclusive phrase "Boned" (sorry Taylor)
  • Where the fuck did the tags go? Update - There they are. WTF, SBN? You have to run the autotag to use them?
  • Uses for dollar bills besides currency
  • Voicemail should go the way of the dinosaur (Fuck you, Carl Everett)
  • Good names for a cat (don't worry, I've covered the Chinese food names already abender20)
  • As always, anything else your heart desires (and is in LL guidelines)

The title of this thread is hexidecimal, right?

And I’m guessing that 6-12-3731 is….base eight? I was never very good at that stuff. I guess that’s why I dropped out of CS.

4 - As an aside, I've found out that it still lists Everret as DH-SEA in the SBN database. This angers me more than it should.

6 – It’s forced on me because other people do use it, despite having email right in front of them.
7 – Dunno, it’s still a barely living ball of fur. That’s why I originally went with Asian food names. Sushi appears to have stuck with the owner, however. I still prefer Gereral Tsao.

My thoughts...

1. I find zip ties to be more useful.
2. Douchey. Gold is soooooooo 1981.
3. Should only be used when Jay Buhner hits a homerun. Now that he’s done, it should be tossed to the curb.
4. Ummm…
5. Obligatory “Give ’em to a stripper!” response.
6. I have a deep-seeded hate for voicemail on a house phone, but only because my machine beeps until you play the damn message and there is no way to turn said beep off.
7. Rufus. I’ve always liked Rufus.

As an aside, to what magazines would you all suggest I subscribe? My SI is up and there’s no way I can go to the bathroom until I have something to read.

Esquire.

My favorite magazine, definitely. Vanity Fair has a lot of good writers, too, but there’s way too much fashion/style to wade through to get to them most months; Esquire strikes a really good mix of outstanding writing (about almost any topic) and men’s clothing/grooming advice (some of which is useful even to those of us that can’t afford to spend $2900 on a suit).

I have found recently that I only read about 50% of the New Yorker any more

I find the fiction to be insufferable most of the time, I don’t really care about the reviews of dance/live theater, and they’re starting to run a lot more of those articles by semi-famous writers about their summers in the Hamptons as a kid and I just don’t give a damn. They’re still great at investigative journalism, so I probably won’t give it up completely, but it’s distressing.

And 80% of those are speaking to my fiancee. She is done with college after this weekend, and then I’ll use even less minutes. In fact, I currently have just a tick over 7,000 rollover minutes saved up from AT&T. I wish there was a way to cash those in for prizes or something

3. I’ve heard boned before outside of LL.
4. Autotagger is stupid and I hate it
5. Dollar bills are handy for smoothing out pool cues
6. Voicemail has a purpose. We’re just getting to the point where texts are more convenient.
7. I have always wanted to name a cat Ichiro. That, or Fuckface. I just want to stick my head out the door and yell “Here Fuckface! Here, kitty kitty. C’mon, Fuckyfuckyfuckface”

Post-Its are definitely handy

Not sure if they’re the most useful invention ever, but I definitely put them to use. For example, here is my desk at work as of right now:

I even use the larger ones, as seen by the 2 stuck to the lower part of my monitor.

2. Never been a fan of the gold chain
3. Obviously the word comes from when cavemen used to hit cavewomen in the head with a huge dinosaur femur
4. I miss the old method of tags
5. I thought this DIY money clip seen on Lifehacker was cool
6. I like voicemail if only because it allows me to screen my calls. Although, if I know you then just leave me a quick message. I hate getting messages that take like 5 minutes, because when you next speak to the person the first thing will always be: “Did you get my message about BLAH BLAH BLAH?” Just send me a text if you need me. That’s the easiest
7. I had a cat named Frank. I always thought that was a good name.

I will answer the questions you have posed!

1: No, they are not. Useful as they are, they do not come close to penicillin, the internal combustion engine, the internets, or even the long bow. Or the burrito.
2: I’m a glass half full kind of guy, so I’m going to go with ignorance.
3: It’s not LL exclusive, and I don’t know.
4: I still really don’t get the point of tags on diary/fanposts. Does anyone search for previous OTDOD by tags? For what?
5: Fashion accessories, swimming around in, etc.
6: I don’t really like voicemail either. We have something in common, Faux! High five!
7: My cat’s name is Aethelred, so perhaps you don’t want advice from me. Eadwig? Aethelstan? Maybe go somewhere else and pick up Hulagu, Arghun, or Gaykhatu (because it sounds like Gay Cat… heh heh). Timur? Hodja/Hoja? Fritigern? When I was young, I named my cat Herschel Walker, and that worked too.

I’ve bought a few for work and recommended one to my cousin. Decent battery life, fairly tough, and fairly powerful. The only thing I don’t like is that the keyboard has a tad more flex in it than I’d prefer, but that’s just me being really, really picky.

I you don't spend 2.73 hours gratifying yourself.

Seems like you could find a better use for your time.

I gave up on Family Guy a couple years back and never could stand American Dad

is the third MacFarlane show the Cleveland one?

Correct.

So…a FOX has deemed a Family Guy spinoff as being more valuable than Futurama.

by BrianL on Jun 10, 2009 10:26 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

my best hope for the Cleveland show is that it turns into something resembling King Of The Hill

my worst nightmare is that it will be Family Guy Redux with lots of Griffin cameos.

Haven't started watching Deadwood yet

it’s next on the Netflix though. But if it’s not as good as a Cleveland spinoff I’ll probably just watch Happy Days instead.

Oh, shit, you're in for a treat.

It took me about 3 episodes to get used to Deadwood (I almost gave up on it), so be patient with it, because it’s worth it. Believe you me.

I will smash your face into a jelly.

I tried to watch it when it was on and couldn't get through the first ep

but so many people have told me exactly what you just did that I put it in the netflix.

It's weird.

After watching the entire series, I went back and watched those first three episodes, and they’re just as good as the rest of the series. It’s just one of those shows that makes you really get to know the characters before you can enjoy the show.

And it’s amazing how fleshed out the characters are right from the start.

American Dad is occasionally great.

I don’t get how that happened but hey.

by acblue on Jun 10, 2009 12:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think it has those great moments because it is dripping with satire

As opposed to Family Guy’s stupid, cheap laughs and moronic “just like that time when…” crap that takes up half the show

Anyone tried Maximus Minimus yet?

It’s looking like a pulled-pork kind of day.

GOD I want to so bad.

But I don’t work anywhere near downtown. It’ll have to be a Saturday thing for me.

Well, it is pulled pork.

Almost makes leaving a good job that I like in the hopes of finding a new one downtown seem like a good idea.

You go ahead and pull your pork in private.

Okay.

1. I never use Post its, but I get why they’re useful.
2. Oh, bad. Sooooo bad. Sublimely bad. Actually that goes for any necklace on a man.
3. I have used the phrase “boned” for years. It’s just so useful!
4. I miss the tags….
5. I’m out.
6. I hate, hate voice mail and talking on the phone in general. You have about a 10% chance of getting a return phone call if you leave me a voice mail. And it will be a week coming.
7. I can’t believe you have a cat. Call it Sizzles. Or Sagan.

I still have to invite you folks over for that Cosmos viewing party at my house. I’ll get on that.

Cosmo's at a Cosmo drinking party! I love it.

I am not a big drinker. But I will go to that and plan to spend the night!
