i really did feel a little pang of sadness when i looked over the board list and there was no 77

crutislessness

Time to buy some folding screens to put up around this thread. Something tasteful.

guys i wish there was a sekrit teachers board on sandbox, b/c i wd rather share this story privately and give some more details but but but anyway but,

i was telling a kind of thumbnail version of a family story in the faculty room for two or three coworkers. and this other teacher, sitting at the end of the table and intermittantly injecting comments into the conversation says –– the second that i finish –– "WELL, MR. C-----, THAT SURE IS FAR-FETCHED" and everybody laughed at me, and she shook her head all "shame, shame" at me and left. now i have a reputation as, like, a lunch liar. :(

remy i have been in your company when you have told some pretty wild stories but it never has crossed my mind to, like, not believe you!

i guess i am trusting or something.

i bet that lady never even said that.

that's where you pull a Kramer and just bust out "I slept with your mom" or whatever

;_; 77

i bet kramer never even said that.

hey can we all just hang out on this thread and post too much and stuff? having a sort of bummed out night and would like to post too much

sorry you are having a bummed-out night, Z_S!

I don't have much else to do myself.

oh, it's not such a big deal. just a bit lonely. cracking open a beer on this kind of night is so comforting but also sort of depressing.

but so tasty!

i'm making an effort to "discover music" on spotify, and it's making me feel like an old man. in the old days i would just sit around and people would wander over and play awesome stuff and i would find out about all sorts of things. these days i occasionally have a moment of clarity where i'm like "jeez i've listened to this album about 26 times over the last few weeks, i guess i should go 'discover music' on spotify"

in other news, after biting my nails since i was born (i think - i can't remember not biting them. there's probably a baby picture of me doing gross things to my nails), i finally quit last month in the wake of a terrible breakup. i was like FUCK IT, THIS IS A NEW AGE.

just caught myself biting them again yesterday. and again a few minutes ago.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

one time in high school i even purchased some nasty smelling stuff that you were supposed to rub on your nails. it was so nasty that only the grossest kid in the tri-county area would think of biting nails with that kind of smell. i kept biting them and got used to it

let's just listen to Spacer Woman and chill the fuck out

oh man nail biting.

i am the absolute worst nail biter.

i would challenge you on that, in the grossest challenge ever

I don't really think of myself as a nail biter, but I never have to clip my nails because I keep them short through…biting I guess? And peeling? It's a little gross come to think of it.

friends of mine attest to regularly painting their nails as how they stopped nail-biting fwiw.

drinking prosecco, thinking about watching Homeland. because of the max.

*googles prosecco*

how do i spend my life drinking and yet not know a drink

oh hai nail biting

uh, i guess wikipedia has updated their pictures

irl lols; sorry, fierce looking lady

she seems like she should be married to David Carradine

otm

David Carradine's entry:

"He died on June 3, 2009 under unusual circumstances.[1]"

uh, well yeah i mean

i'm going to try to look up other people who died via auto-erotic asphyxiation and see how their death was explained on The Free Encyclopedia

as much as i fuck up and never live up to expectations, at least i'm reasonably sure i won't die of auto-erotic asphyxiation

i'll drink to that

loooooooool i know this joke is played out, but still

http://i41.tinypic.com/15n5bnc.png

Frantisek Kotzwara, musician:

"He is perhaps more famous for the notorious nature of his death.[2]" the notorious masturbatory nature i think you mean

Stephen David Wyatt Milligan, British MP:

"He was found dead in his flat in Chiswick, London in February 1994, strangled by an electrical cord during an act of autoerotic asphyxiation.[1]" - well there we go, that's frank, bravo

Vaughn Bodē, artist:

"Bodē's death was due to autoerotic asphyxiation, or perhaps the use of asphyxia as a meditation aid: his last words (to his son) were, "Mark, I've seen God four times, and I'm going to see him again soon. That's No. 1 to me, and you're No. 2."" - uh ok, that's the end of researching this topic. i am fucked up for lyfe now

as much as i internally criticize my dad for being emotionally detached, uninformed conservative, at least he never told me auto-erotic asphyxiation was No. 1

having a sort of bummed out night and would like to post too much

apropos of nothing rly i just want youse to look at how str8 happy this sumbitch right here is

http://www.eatmedaily.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pig-head.jpg

after the relative horror of food lion (sorry jesse) and other nc stores, my friends refer to h-t as taj ma teeter

In Greensboro, NC there was one VERY LARGE Harris Teeter* (at Friendly Center, on Friendly Ave.), which some friends called Taj Ma Teeter.

Food Lion wasn't bad, IMO. Some were, some weren't. There was a super shitful Harris Teeter in Greensboro (on Summit Ave.) that made Food Lion look opulent by comparison. It later became a Sav Yr Monee or something like that.

*When I moved to Chicago, I really missed the palatial, abundant Southern supermarkets. They're catching up in some parts of town, but it took some time before the feeling of austerity subsided. I don't now if Jenny (or Jeff) would agree, but I know a couple other NC transplants who did.

You know the Southern grocery store name I really love? Winn-Dixie.

Walmart is putting the hurt on so many of these southern chains. There's one Winn-Dixie near here, over in Alabama...couple of Pigs, one Big Star.

nbd just poppin off tomorrow for a few days to spend new year's here:



I want to go to there

The weather will not be as good as in the posted photo.

I don't know what happened, I got in a cab intending only to bypass a slow train, and found myself giving my home address. Door to door service, baby.

live has bowled me a few googlies this week. where is the girl advice/tmi thread please?

The Jewel on Ashland/north of Diversey is comparable. Not as big as the super mega super megamarkets, but almost there. Too bad we always use peapod now anyway.

I don't prefer HTML, it prefers me.

just use brackets instead of carrots, it would have worked.

No shit!

Piggly and Wiggly were the name of the founders.

i'm just saying, never give up, follow your dreams

Bartles and Jaymes were the figments of founders.

my flight confirmation code is GEOTSE

which is close enough for lols in my book

went on a rad first date last night

drank wine, during which I confessed my strange fascination with glory holes

he suggested we go try and find one

we DID

IT WAS AWESOME

no, nobody gave or received a beej.

Then we went to a soul DJ night my friend was throwing, danced a bit, then made out a bunch!!

A++++!!

sorry but how do you try a glory hole without doing a beej?

sounds awesome by the way

oh nm! i misread "go try and find one" as "go try one" lol

This should be the standard by which all awesome first dates are now judged. WTG HS!!!!

i would enjoy finding a glory hole and taking pictures of quotidian objects stuck through it: a piece of paper, an empty bottle, etc.

PYRAMUS: Oh kiss me through the hole of this vile wall!
THISBE: I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all.

-dad bought a new wastebasket with an automatic lid
-the new wastebasket is too big and our shoprite plastic bags won't fit
-dad now thinking of going to the dollar store, buying a smaller wastebasket and putting it inside the larger one so we can continue to use shoprite plastic bags

btw someone on the other side stuck their dick through the wall

Was this a glory hole in a designated glory hole area or like in a public bathroom?

Also, I recall you being a woman, is that correct?

uh yes I am

can't women be fascinated with glory holes?

this was in an "adult arcade"

Oh absolutely! I was asking 1. Bc of your screen name and 2. bc I wondered if maybe you snuck into a men's bathroom.

And interest in glory holes among male Homosexuals is far less remarkable.

major irl lols

Homosexual II, what was you and your date's general response to the dick appearing?

Whack-a-mole

hahaha

In a dirty bar there was a dirty man who gave me his dirty card that showed his home address. There, he said, the door was always unlocked, allowing access to his glory hole. I've seen this kind of thing on Manhunt. It seems next-level depraved and creepy. And pretty fascinating, tbh.

the dirty bar was Clark's on Clark, which a few of you will remember

nuhnuhnuh, I tried to post this earlier, but it failed - are you elmo a?

I remember nothing.

I remember that Jenny was pissed that you gave out your address so freely.

been desperately hoping this flu would clear up before tonight but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen...angry + shivering.

If anyone needs me today, I'll be in my room watching Dance Academy and eating tangerines.

My NYE plans include a supper of enchiladas filled mostly with leftover turkey, a fire in the fireplace, looking at all the past year's photos with my wife, then watching an Astaire-Rogers dvd, eating popcorn and drinking rum drinks. This is Big Fun for Those Past Fifty.

i'm barely past 30 and that sounds like a pretty good night to me

tbqh, I've always been a fan of stay-at-home NYE and my personality is quite the inverse of a raver's. See my post to the thread about when you discovered you were well on the way to becoming a crotchety old person.

i might visit some ppl nearby for a couple of hours or i might watch the new godard flick

not rly feeling the end of 2k11 or beginning of 2k12 to be all that rly i mean both years are pretty similar numerically

otm, chinese new year gives you more to work with

Because a year measures one cycle around the sun, you can arbitrarily pick any day in that cycle to mark the end/start of a solar year and it would make about as much sense as any other day. When this was first pointed out to me in high school, New Year's Day lost much of its lustre for me.

Wasn't it originally picked to be the winter solstice, so that the earth was being "reborn" as the new year began? Respect our pagan history, people!

Except NYD is not the solstice, innit?

this is seriously the first Saturday in over a month where I have nowhere to be this afternoon or evening. This rules.

I have my pick of New Years nightspots...think ima karaoke it up at my friend's bar, and say goodbye to one of teh quickest and weirdest years in recent memory (for me)

Except NYD is not the solstice, innit?

Time drift (no leap year for quite a while). Or maybe they just weren't good at it.
