Oh. I wanted to heap praise on Jenny for a sec. She and Jeff caught a southbound cab tonight as I waited for a northbound bus. I decided to wait only about 5 minutes before taking a cab. I was leaving the 7-11 after breaking my $20 for cab fare when I got her text saying "Yr bus is coming," a text that saved me $6 or so.

Jenny, this is for you!

"Dude, I hope you don't mind that I crashed on your couch and brewed up some of your coffee."

Jenny, this is for you too!

Shit. That first bit should be a less-than symbol...

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

the only sound you're going to get off that mic is me talking about Pockets.

Haha. I seriously love that the most famous ("famous") guy in the band is known in Chicago solely for having too much stuff in his pockets.

I'm at work really early so that I can leave early to play a dinner gig in Milwaukee. However, no one else is here to see me being here, so they'll just think I'm leaving early slacker-style.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah! The popcorn scene. Also noteworthy: when the kid pees on the troll-tainted food so his family won't eat it. And the forest lady with the fake, painted-on freckles. Oh, the fun literally never stops with Troll 2.

I am so ready to stop wearing boots. I hear it's going to be 47 (and rainy) on Saturday.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Snow boots, that is. Fashion boots can stick around a little longer.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I posted my image properly, but it still didnt work.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Let's have a Troll 2 party.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

So tell us about this girl you met.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, there's not much to tell. We hit it off at the club, and if I had stayed something might have happened. Instead I chose to leave when the rest of my band was leaving to get food, and she gave me her number and told me to call her in a little while. I did, no answer, and I figured that was that. Then when I driving back to Madison I was surprised to get a text from her asking if I was still in town.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh she's an architecture student, and she was sitting with six other girls who were not only architecture students but also French.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

This is not the first time I've chosen the company of dudes and fried foods over a potentially awkward one night stand situation. Does this mean I'm gay?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Dudes and fried foods are some of MY favorite things!

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Dudez and Foodz

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Broz and Ho-Hos over hoez.

― n/a (n/a), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Fries with the guys, shrimps with the pimps. Cheez up, hoez down.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Mudbugs over bearded clams.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

chicken over chicks

This reads like the executive summary of a three-verse rap song.

― Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

lol

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

kevin, you got me in trouble on ilm. Springsteen *did* write "Blinded By The Light".

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

LOL I wondered if that would bite anyone in the ass

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I even went so far as to say something like, "It fits so well on the album, you'd never know he didn't write it!" Egg. Face. All over.

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I had such a fabulous weekend. Jordan, I love your band.

Hi, guys.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

What is "Blinded by the Light"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Made famous by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Also, one line sounds like "wrapped up in a douche" or something similar.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Apparently it's a Bruce Springsteen original, not, as I had assumed, a song by Manfred Man's Earth Band.

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Manfred Mann of "Do Wah Diddy" fame?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks Sarah!

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost The same, and "Cock-A-Hoop", apparently.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I apparently don't know anything about popular music.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I think you would recognize it if you heard it, John.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I apparently don't know anything about popular music.

That's just false. I had totally forgotten about "Do Wah Diddy".

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Doesn't look familiar, but I kind of love those lyrics.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Kenan, but "Earth Band"??

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm trying to remember one of the tunes we played on Friday night. It's an oldie/r&b tune, with a backbeat, and it wasn't 'My Girl' (although we played that too). We hadn't played the tune in years and I don't really know the original. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I felt dumb on Friday when I thought that "Just the Two of Us" was a Will Smith original.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm listening to this "Earth Band" version of "Blinded by the Light" and it sounds only vaguely familiar.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Will Smith did 'Just the Two of Us'? I don't even remember that.
