HOLY. FUCKING. POOPED. MY. PANTS. (but i'm not wearing pants)-- It sounded like my house just got struck by lightning.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Is it raining or something?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

SOMEBODY JUSS POOPED

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I love this storm, but I wish I could have seen the look on my face when the last lightning and simultaneous thunderclap struck. It was one of those trebley ones that sound more like *CRRRRRACK!!*

Where is this? I see Jeff eating in the background.

Remember when I had a crush on Sayjal?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, dear.

Hey, a question:

"to support an organization that’s mission and goals I truly support" is grammatically correct but sounds really awkward. Could I get by with saying "whose mission and goals"?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm in love with this website:

http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html

I love linguistics and grammar on the trivia level.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Sayjal is cuet.

I would say "whose", yeah.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Whose certainly sounds better, but can an organization technically be a who?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

An organization can be a 'they', so why not?

Robin's going away party, at that place where she stayed when she moved here.

That's a great picture of me. I look thin.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Technically doesn't always win! Jesse you need a tattoo on your forehead that says "Don't hate me because I'm a prescriptivist."

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I am most certainly NOT a prescriptivist.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

You're the one arguing about which pronunciation is "correct"!

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I asked for some help editing my coverletter and it came back with "that's" which I knew was technically correct, but my ear balked at. Then my ear puked. So I gave my ear some Emetrol and ginger beer, which helped a bit, but it was still feeling a little queasy.

xpost: But I was arguing against John's prescriptivist ways!

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Whatever prescriptivism I preach is for comic effect, or to make an argument more interesting.

Re the other night, I honestly thought that Jesse was telling me that "horrible" and "whore" had different vowel sounds IN THE MIDWEST. My mistake.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, I was just thinking "that's a great picture of Jeff! He also looks thin."

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I am listening to Scott Walker. I had never heard of him before, save for seeing him listed on Jeff's myspace last.fm pages. Weird stuff.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

So I guess sayja1 wouldn't be freaked out at all that we've posted so many pix of her on a thread? But anyway, yes, she is cute. She is so cute that she can say the most disgusting things and it still makes you go awwwww...

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I think "whose" is probably best, but if you feel weird about it, would it be too clunky to say, "an organization with a mission and goals"? Or "an organization that has a mission and goals"?

Daniel-san

When Sayjal, Jenny and I worked at the restaurant in NC she once said, "I need a 'poon for my 'poon."

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Meaning what?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

You mean: 'poon for my poon'

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Meaning "I need a tampon for my poontang."

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, that is what I meant.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Wouldn't that be a 'pon for my poon?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Another question: does anyone wear double-breasted jackets anymore? I had one years ago and I looked GREAT in it. I've been reading up on suits and from what I read, they complement body types such as mine, but aren't they pretty much out of style? Or at least temporal? Not an classic, enduring style? Help.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I do not want to think about sayjal's poon ok thanks.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost-- maybe, but calling it a tampoon is funnier.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just being picky.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I thought you meant a harpoon -- because of that pesky cervix.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

When I say years ago, I mean yeeeears ago

Double-breasted, with pinstripes! I looked 6'4" in that suit.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

And a goddamn pink carnation boutinierre with fucking baby's breath!

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse: Classic if you are European. Technically always allowable even for USians, but with certain overtones that are sort of out of vogue right now (partly because DBs were picked up in the late '80s-early '90s and came to signify erm established order/financial power and successful masculinity/smarminess). I equate them with older Italian-American men who also oil their hair back and wear pinkie rings. If you want to overturn the type, TOTALLY DO IT.

There's also the whole yachting/anchor-buttons part but that comes to my mind second...and I don't like that type, either.

Also, that suit in your photo isn't double-breasted! WTF?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Huh. I always remember that suit as being DB'ed.

I don't think I would feel good in a DB suit.

http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/opinions/mens_fashion_part_1_suits.php

I like this article a lot.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought double-breasted suits were cool when I was a kid and I had one. Now I think they are indeed way out of fashion.

Also, that suit in your photo isn't double-breasted! WTF?

Yeah, I'm glad it's not just me!

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Where should I buy a suit for $300 or less? I am wary of Men's Warehouse, but I can't afford Macy Field's. I found a jacket I liked at Filene's basement once. Also a well-dressed homo told me that H&M was a good place to buy a suit, but I'm very very wary of them.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Go to that place we went, Justin's uncle's roommate's store.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh wait I thought you said $3000 or less.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Why are you wary of Men's Warehouse? They did me right, although you all know that I know nothing about fashion and don't care enough to make distinctions. But I think the suit I bought there looks good on me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

What's wrong with Men's Warehouse? Or H&M?
