That's a pretty sweet tat you got there, tough guy.

I asked her about the heat and she said it was on. Apparently she was right, but it's just weird heat. I hope it stays tropical in here as I can always open a window.

I'm sure Jeff is somewhere out there grumbling about how we're talking about the weather.

Hey Amanda!

I was suspiscious of the mango splitter when I saw it in the store, but this email from Cook's Illus. changed my mind:

Mango Splitter:
The OXO Mango Splitter is one of those rare kitchen gadgets that actually works. Try as we might, we couldn’t round up a mango that it couldn’t handle, and the mango splitter never left extra fruit on the pit by overestimating the pit’s size. It's especially useful if you're making our Curried Fruit Chutney to accompany a curry.
$11.95, www.cooking.com, item#411725

Ooh! Interesting. But what can that thing do that a knife can't do? That's how I cut a mango anyway, by cutting two large slabs and then trimming/gnawing the rest.

I like the mustache, Jordan. It's cute.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the point is that it is curved to fit the pit, and it only takes one pass to remove the fruit.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks Amanda.

(just so we're clear, I lack mustache commitment and shaved it off soon after taking that picture, so now I look like I'm 12)

My boss is out all week and it's not helping my motivation.

I guess that's a neat invention, but I would be just as happy with a knife. Also, I can sharpen a knife but I can't sharpen that thing.It would be handy for fruit stand ladies, though.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not happy with a knife and a mango. Mangoes are difficult for me, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

It's the Georgia O'Keefe of kitchen gadgets... I use Amanda's knife n' gnaw method.

Jordan, I was going to tell you to keep the 'stache because it's very handsome but I see you have already ruined everything. NICE ONE.

Whoa - who is that first guy? I thought it was Jesse for a second.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

First guy = Keith Harris, a freelance music writer from Philadelphia who contributes to the Reader occasionally.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

(Although I agree that Jesse is hotter.)

Also -- hi Chris!!

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC:
I forgot to mention that I saw Rocky for the first time this weekend and I have two comments:

1) I admit it, Rocky is appealing.

2) But Adrian! She was supposed to be a loser? Put her in 2006 and she's the most popular girl in art school. She was ADORABLE.
This photo does not do her costume design justice.

That concludes my review of Rocky

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha. I guess she was a loser in tough guy-Philly, because there weren't any emo dudes to appreciate her.

I saw Aguirre (really liked it but I kept getting distracted, also I expected Kinski to be more overtly nuts) and Before Sunrise (pretty much what I expected but I was into it) over the weekend.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, I thoroughly understand the circumstances that would cause her to be a "loser" at the time of the movie and the circumstances that would cause her to be considered "super cute" now, I guess I was just surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Amanda, me too!!! I'm always telling people how I just saw both Rocky and Jaws a few years ago and loved both! You are totally right about everything except that the weirdest/worst part of Adrian's being a "loser" was that she seemed to lack any processing or communication skills whatsoever. I'm talking, on a mentally handicapped level. Worrisome.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

In which sequel did Rocky start smacking her around? Or am I making that up?

I just rearranged our netflix queue b/c it's exam time, baby, and I get to exercise dominion over our leisure time:

I, Claudius: Disc 1
The Wicker Man
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Ravenous
Some Like It Hot
The Apartment
The Sentinel
Black Sunday
Eaten Alive
History Channel: War of 1812: Disc 1

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't seen Jaws yet, but I remember enjoying Rocky as well. I watched it for a college sociology class. We had to write a paper about "heroes." It was kind of dumb, but it was Sociology 101.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

So the themes for Jenny's Netflix queue = cannibalism and Billy Wilder?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Being back at work after a fun weekend with old friends is a dud.

Coming back from said weekend to a cold apartment that doesn't want to heat up is also a dud.

People in Tennessee are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen, or maybe they're just all drunk.

I don't know if I've ever seen Rocky or Jaws in non-edited-for-TV versions.

I wore flannel-lined Carhartts today and was very comfortable on the way to work, but now I am experiencing a bit of overheating.

I am starting to agitate for TT early this week. Thoughts?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

xp - And pagan sexytimes.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Pretty much.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Exam time is like being eaten alive by Billy Wilder during a historical reenactment of a pagan ritual, so it all makes sense.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only hang out on Thursday, so unless we go out on Thursday, I will not be there.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone going to see the FFs tonight?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Jaws is such a great movie. Robert Shaw especially, but even Dreyfus is good.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Needless to say, I must decline to participate in FFs and TT. I have my first exam on Friday. It should be easy, but I'm not going to tempt fate by going in with a hangover. Even if I have been studying while drinking coffee and amaretto for the past week.

xpost - I love Jaws.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Also who needs FREE tickets for the C4N4ST4 show on Friday?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

In which sequel did Rocky start smacking her around? Or am I making that up?

hm. Maybe you're thinking of The Godfather?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

He's a rough-and-tumble working-class dude -- it's bound to happen.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Jaws is great. I think I've only seen it on tv though, I should really remedy that.

xpost to Kenan: You know, I might be. I just have this picture in my head of Talia Shire with a black eye.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be at the show tonight! ha ha

I am also up for TT this week.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only hang out on Thursday, so unless we go out on Thursday, I will not be there.

Oooh sorry, I just meant early planning, not an early event.

I am at about 50/50 on going to the EB tonight.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, Monday show = free, right?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I am planning on going to the FFs show! what time?

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Where did you find that?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

It was on Idolator.

Oh man, I was really close to spitting water all over my desk there. Thx Hugo.

"Money Mark remix"

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Horseshoe, the Bottle website sez the show starts at 9:30. FFs play second, so I'll prob get there around 10.
