Damn right.

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.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Nick and I = leaving tomorrow after work and returning the evening of the 30th (Sat)

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Garrett, I mean.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah! We were like BFFs for about a half hour. It's just so weird that you knew him.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

my favorite part of the italian village experience was when jenny got up to use the rest room she left her beer and cell phone on the bar in front of her chair with her coat on the back of her chair. this soused-on-wine 40/50-something woman came over and tried to sit in the seat. courtney was like "uhm, what the fuck are you doing? someone's obviously sitting there." then the soused-on-vino lady got all sour. about five minutes later some dude about 5 people away from us got up, left his beer, phone, and cigarettes on the bar and his jacket on the back of the seat. same old drunky-loo tried to sit there too before the dudes friend alerted her to the fact that someone was sitting there.

i love people watching when you can guarantee me that someone will act like a complete moron/asshole.

My headache returned just in time for my parents' arrival. Thank god.

Question: is Ohio & State walking distance from Wabash/Jazz Record Mart area?

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

yes.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, looks like it to me.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Sweet. Just trying to plan my day tomorrow.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

here you go?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

lol

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Just talked with my BFF grades 3-7. She has 2 kids and lives in an old Victorian in the middle of Ohio.

Feeling wistful.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Not sure why. She was a total hellcat in middle school.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure why I shared that with the internet. My apologies.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, you owe us an apology for that one lady

― the internet (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

My 10th high school reunion is on Saturday. I'm reluctantly going, because of threats against my life from my one friend who does want to go. I doubt it will make me feel wistful, but I'd like to see just how far some of the jocky prep fuckers have fallen. In fact I'm going to be really pissed if only one or two of them has become a mess.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

The messy people never (or rarely) show up to the reunion. Don't get yer hopes up.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I like winter, because I hate sweating.
2000x

x1000 for the pill change/acne thing. Man. I switched from low dose pills to a Nuva ring and from there to an IUD and good grief. My face is a mess. I've been using Aveno anti-acne face wash/toner/lotion and that seems to have gotten things a little under control but I'm not going to win any complexion awards.

OK DAN MARTIN EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO ME. I thought "2x" was like saying "me too" and "4x" was like saying "me four," as in two other people have already agreed with the original poster. But now you guys are using #x or x# to mean an amplification of the original point, like you agree with it 1000 or 2000 times more than the original poster? Or is it like "yes, yes, a thousand times yes"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

It's whatever you want it to be.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Like a hooker.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, that too.

It's the internet, man! Grammar takes a holiday and the rules of usage are meaningless!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES, YES!

chicago, I wish you were at my work with me now so we could drink some wine, listen to my wonderful i-tunes, and you could show me different poses to use at a photo shoot. MAYBE I COULD BE AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!? Also, I would give you some chocolate and cookies. Hmmm???

I can't believe I have another hour left here today. It's so excrutiatingly quiet.

Also, Amanda, I do find that interesting. I often wonder if anyone ever hears from people from their past or keeps in touch with them, or if I'm the only one completely in the dark.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

It's literally "Two Times". Like if I said "The Detroit Red Wings are the greatest hockey club ever" and you agreed, you could say "Two times, man, two times." However, it's adaptable so if there's something you REALLY TOTALLY 110% agreed with, you could say "X000 times" which would be (more or less) the equivalent of "yes, yes, a thousand times yes".

Some dudes from the suburbs who I went to college with introduced the phrase to me. If I had to guess they stole it from some shitty hip-hop song.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i did not go to my 10 year reunion nor did i go to my 15 year reunion. i haven't spoken to anyone i went to high school with in two years when my best friend jon was in chicago two springs ago for work. we went to o'toole's in streeterville and got shit house wasted then taunted cbs2 sports anchor and former pittsburgh steeler mark malone who was drinking while probably getting ready for the 10 o'clock news.

i hadn't seen jon in 5 years at that point but we were together for 15 minutes and it was like we hadn't seen each other for 5 days.

err, i haven't spoken to anyone i went to high school with in two years except for when my best friend jon was in chicago two springs ago for work

Like if I said "The Detroit Red Wings are the greatest hockey club ever" and you agreed, you could say "Two times, man, two times."

PS: AND THEN WE WOULD HIGH FIVE

When would he kill you softly with his song?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh shit! I forgot about that. Maybe that's where they got it from, though I still would guess it was in a Kool Keith rhyme or something.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I was about to say: THE FUGEES?!?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

But, did Wyclef mean "I agree" when he sang that, or was it just some hype man type shit?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:12 (seventeen years ago) link

THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW

I'm bored. Why am I still here?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

All I do know is that it's impossible to listen to the Roberta Flack original without filling in the "1x, 2x" part, either in your head or out loud.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

later chicago, i got nothing but love for you.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:19 (seventeen years ago) link

ta ta

Off to do photos and then cupcakes and wine!

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

see y'all on saturday. i am contemplating getting dressed up a wee bit, but it might just be embarrassing. we'll see.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the drummer who played with the Fugees when they did that tune on the MTV Music Awards was a big influence on me. Don't know who he was, only heard him on that one tune but he was bad as hell.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

THIS IS JESSE AND I WILL BE HERE FOR THE FUCKING HOLIDAY.

Hey Kevin, do you want to hang out with me and Sayjal (the elf)? She's fun and sometimes I am too, so you're chances of having fun would be pretty good. We are hanging out on Sunday, probably dividing our time between food, booze and going to movies. I don't know what is happening on the 25th. I hope something, or I'll be saaaaaad. Wow. I am going to be sad.
