I thought you would appreciate that, John. It was a very successful prank. Unfortch, Meloy-as-Horshack has not had legs.

Laurel! SOrry I missed your txt. I was at the goddamned grocery store when i finally saw it.

The chips were kind of sweet and not very crunchy and they stuck in my teeth like craaaazy but the taste was okay. If those were the only chips I could ever eat, I would sit at home in the dark eating dehydrated corn chips and crying.

BEGIN RANT
When I went to UBS for my tutoring dude I overheard some people actually COMPLAINING that there was a mountain of chocolate in their office. They said some shit about it being Carb Mountain and I wanted to remind them that there are plenty of people in the world -- and one in that elevator -- who would enjoy a piece of that mountain. People complaining about the hardship of sweets/treats in their office can zip it the fuck up.

It is kind of annoying though, like I'm trying to stay in shape but I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to food placed it front of me.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Boo hoo.

Hey how much is the cover for your band?

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd prefer to have the starving third world get most of the food that gets placed in front of me! I don't need that much food to live!

It's ten bucks. I wish I could put you on the list but we only get one slot per person, and I gave mine up because some dudes have lots of out-of-town family coming to the show.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I've actually always been mildly disappointed whenever I go to Handlebar. Like it's decent enough but never outstanding.

I haven't been to Chicago Diner in a coon's age. I generally think other veggie restaurants do the fake-meat thing better, but their gazpacho is the best I've ever had.

carb mountain=happiest mountain evah!

I am feeling much better about being stuck at the airport after 2 bloody marys (consumed at 10am, special airport rules).

re: food
there is a time of year when you give in to The Plenty and this is it.

re: cover
oh, that's fine! i'm glad to support you and am very thankful that you will provide entertainment for my parents, because i had no idea what to do with them. they're excited!

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to drink on that motherfucking plane tonight. Yes indeedy!

My sudden, sharp rise in incidental alcohol consumption (like, oh I will watch some TV. And drink a beer! or I've got to pack, I think I'll drink a beer!) since I finished finals suggests that I might actually end up being one of those proverbial alcoholic attorneys.

GOD THAT COVER.

Another rumor I like to perpetuate:
Kenny Loggins got married in the nude

(although I swear that I actually read this in Parade magazine at some point)

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, I think any kind of graduate school drives you to alcoholism. I've even convinced myself that 1 gin and tonic "helps me read."

I love how he's looking the opposite direction of all of the hands clamoring to touch his cockles. And smiling idiotically.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

OH KENNY
They know that they are considered bizarre. After all, their 1992 wedding began with the wedding party in the nude. "I saw it as a statement that [everyone] had nothing to hide," Kenny says. Julia says she follows only "far-out'' healers and therapists, and advises Kenny to do the same. He wonders: "Is that incredible wisdom or is she a New Age Gracie Allen?" She even inspired Kenny, who wore a beard for 25 years, to shave. "I was afraid Julia would say, 'Oh, I didn't know you looked like that!' " Instead, "she discovered a new erogenous zone."

Both had first marriages where their goal was "to get along." But introspection and angst pay off, Julia says: "The rough spots always lead us to a closer place."

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

amanda, you made me snort.

whoa crazy xposting.

has anyone ever done ebay sniping? i'm kind of tempted to.

JuliaA (JuliaA), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I like how KENNY HAS NO EYES.

LOL @ one gin and tonic to help you read. Shamefully, I can identify.

That cover is a perfect example of guitar-as-phallus.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I have, Julia! I got tired of being sniped, so I sniped back. It works.

One of my coworkers just complained about all the alcohol she is getting from the subcontractors. 'I mean, COME ON! I HARDLY EVEN DRINK!' Give it here, lady.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't been to the bob inn in years, that's where i'd go pre-show for shows at the fireside to avoid the high schoolers at the punk shows.

Shit, I thought that was an unwashed Crispin Glover for a minute.

Devandra B. would shoot white light out of his eyes and when the white light it the ground it would turn into tofu wraps and hits of acid.

What's awesome about that photoshop is I thought you whitened KL's face a little bit, but then I looked back and realized you didn't! Dude has natural corpse paint.

If I had more time and proper image editing software I'd decapitate some of the audience members and maybe put some blood running out of his mouth.

Note: I edited that image using http://www.fauxto.com/, which is a web-based flash image editor. You can open an image from a remote location and when you save it, you save it to their servers. It's like the best piece of message-board related technology since the http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/lachen/laughing-smiley-014.gif.

Hey Kevin, do you remember that time you and Courtney and me were drinking at the Italian Village and you yelled PROVOLONE? I think about that sometimes and laugh.

i do remember that time jenny and in fact i yelled PROVOLONE today at my desk in place of the poly-syllabic swear word i wanted to shout.

what a bunch of fucking guidos at the EYE-talian village.

I wish I'd had a chance to mention to the dude you met at the Italian Village a while back that he was the dude you met at the Italian Village a while back. I saw him at a wedding in August but didn't talk to him.
