Cuntsta?

Clearly only the dudes are online right now.

Did you know?

33. Eating a packet of crisps a day is equivalent to drinking five litres of cooking oil a year.

45. Cows can have regional accents, says a professor of phonetics, after studying cattle in Somerset

45a. BBC News online missed putting a period on that sentence, thus eroding their readership's esteem and credibility.

Love that Reader article, and Newberry's photo too. And you guys even get a blurb on the cover of section one. I really like that the writer works on getting the details of your stories straight, so that it covers the different influences and paths and becomes the opposite of pidgeon-holing. Viva the FFs.

Hmmm. It does not appear to be online.

I assume it appears in the music section? I'll have to go grab a new copy since I always dispose of that part.

I don't read that part. I grab a copy and that and any inserts go in the trash straightaway. Sometimes I keep it with me on the train and throw it in the newspaper recycling bin.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

It's just funny because it's the first part that I go for.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

If I take it on the El on a Thursday afternoon/evening, I leave it behind, so that if someone is coming from Rogers Park or somewhere else that doesn't get the Reader 'til Friday they might see it as a gift.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

You can have mine.

I read the letters to the editor, Savage Love, headline articles, Perry Bible Fellowship, reviews of movies, and sometimes books and plays.

I have drunk SO MUCH Vernor's over the past week. Like, liters and liters. Cannot get in NYC. In fact there's a Detroit-theme bar called Motor City that has VERNOR'S SIGNS ON THE WALLS but doesn't serve it, the lying bastards.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

i love vernors.

if anyone finds a link to the ff article online, can they help a minnesotan out? i can't find it...

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not online yet. It probably will go up tomorrow.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never had Vernor's!

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, it's ginger ale. I thought you were talking about a beer.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG The Reader! Your picture is all right there and stuff! I haven't read the article yet, but I applaud your sweater choice, Nick.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 29 December 2006 03:28 (seventeen years ago) link

That's amazingly, totally, shitfuckingly awesome. Congrats you guys. Many hugs.

Hi miss Laurel!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 29 December 2006 04:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, so, tell us how you got that pic.

I'm at Jenny and Jeff's place with Jesse. We're watching Ravenous and eating vegetable soup. It wasn't planned that way, but while watching this movie, we're all very glad there's no meat in this.

― Kenan is using Jenny's computer (pullapartgirl), Friday, 29 December 2006 04:44 (seventeen years ago) link

The same guy who took that photo has this neat one of Paul McCartney. Getting your photo taken by him is kind of a rites of passage in Chicago.

We should've had TTs at the Rainbo with you guys, just to flaunt it.

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 29 December 2006 06:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Lovely pictures!

Goodbye.

― Jesse on Jeff (Jeff...), Friday, 29 December 2006 06:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Late. Just got home. Surprisingly lucid. Going to read the book that J&J just gave me, by Royko, about Daley #1. It looks really good.

Also, listening to Skip Spence. Man, I love this record.

Thanks for the kind words, all. N3wberry was a delight to work with. Professional but relaxed and relaxing. We'll be back tomorrow and we both have Monday off, so let's get together and hang out in the next couple of days.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 29 December 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, what are people doing for New Year's Eve? We have no plans.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

the bottle is sold out so unless jim or jered put me on the list (unlikely since i will not ask either of them to do this) i will probably celebrate at home. i might go to tuman's early in the evening to get drunk but i'll be home before midnight.

hey, is there an online version of the reader article? i want to read it!

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

the reader.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

That's a great article.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Any tips on where to buy a new computer online? Newegg maybe?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Great article! I sent it to all the Top Models, Sarah.

When in June are y'all getting married? Leaf & I are on the 30th . . . not that it will conflict or anything, considering that since my side of the family is so huge I'm only inviting like, one or two friends. Literally.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

June 2.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night I heard that an acquaintance had his bachelor party the day after Xmas and is getting married on New Year's Day. WTF? Who wants to have their anniversary on the most hungover day of the year?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you getting married in Chicago or Virginia or . . . .? June 2nd will be great. I actually wish we were getting married earlier or in the fall.

Do they still have Egghead Software? I used to love that place when I was a kid.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

And by "they" I mean "the world."

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

BABBAGE'S

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

That was my free-videogame-demos-at-the-mall joint as a kid.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG I totally forgot about that place. Yeah, it seemed like it was only in malls.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Egghead Software was founded in 1984 as a computer software retail company. It grew into a chain with over 200 stores in the United States, primarily located in shopping malls. Faced with declining revenues, in 1998, the company shifted its focus to online business, closing its retail locations and selling entirely through its egghead.com website.
Egghead was hurt by a December of 2000 revelation that hackers had accessed its systems and potentially compromised customer credit card data. The company filed for bankruptcy in August of 2001. After a deal to sell the company to Fry's Electronics for $10 million fell through, its assets were acquired by Amazon.com for $6.1 million instead.

Among other things, Egghead's customers could voluntarily and freely sign up for a Que Card, a card that would guarantee a slightly reduced price on certain items.

Guys, I am listening to a WALKMAN right now. Old school!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Walkmen. I wish I still had one.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi, I'm back at work. For one fucking day! I'm kind of pissed about this. But on the bright side, this is the first time I've come back after a few days off and haven't had to put out a half dozen fires, so that's good.

I echo Nick's sentiment that we should get together and hang out sometime soon. I don't have NYE plans either but I may be heading over to Detroit. If not, though, I'm up for anything.

Also, please accept my kudos, FFs, for a great article. I feel proud to say I know you!

i'm drinking a rice shake that includes "spirulina, blue green algae, and nutrutious grasses" in the ingredients. it's quite delish.

in other news, i think i will finally sleep well tonight as leaf is due home this evening. i sure have missed that guy.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Where did he go? China again?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow, I have this awesome solo piano improvisation from like 1998, like Keith Jarrett meets Thurston Moore or something.
