what’s menthols mccrazy up to these days, anyway?

World of Warcraft from what I understand

i am so tired!!! i hope we have a snow day tomorrow

OTM!

man girls are ca-razy did you guys know that?

naw that’s not fair really, pretty much none of the girls i know/interact with are any crazier than the dudes i know/interact with but...yeesh.

at least we won trivia again for the seventieth time in a row.

blood diamonds zr, i put on “get into the groove” for you

good showing tonight, fellas!

but what does blood diamonds mean?

OW

OWWWWWW

^^^^ that is the true meaning of blood diamonds

the subject header of a longstanding gmail thread between me and my bro 4 life: [REDACTED] Continues to Like Crazy Girls ... O RITE THEY ALL CRAZY

Sounds like an OTM subject line to me.

ow

Has the wankette got his balls caught in his laptop lid?

— Mr. Que (pelagi...) (webmail), Today 3:13 PM. (Party with me Punker) (later) (link)

i f’ing hate it. i’m so cold i’m about to light my feet on fire.

yeah we’re not as cold as you are kevin. that sucks. i hear if you drink whiskey it keeps you warm, tho?

I like snow a lot better when I’m not sick.

xpost it also apparently makes you just post “ow” over and over so be wary?

I take it the gin + menthols cure didn’t actually work and I should stick with my copious dayquil then sleeping pills cure.

Add Whisky and you have an OTM cure there.

TO WHICH ONE

THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION BECAUSE EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS DOING IT WRONG CURRENTLY

i should’ve stuck with gin + menthols + bathtub all day. It was cheap beer + cheap whiskey + winning trivia that did this to me.

your one. Menthols = urrgh.

dayquil +jameson +sleeping pills = bliss.

EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS DOING IT WRONG CURRENTLY

most otm statement ever on dc threads

even more OTM on other threads

The HSUS action—filed last week in Superior Court of the District of Columbia—specifically concerns “The Underground Pitbull Breeders Association, StreetHeatDVD.com, and the publishers of The Gamecock and The Feathered Warrior. HSUS has also targeted DVDs Unleashed: The Realest Pitbull Action Caught on Tape and Hood Fights Vol. 2, The Art of the Pit, both ”depicting illegal dogfighting“.

“Unleashed: The Realest Pitbull Action” needs to go on the funny 6 minutes ago login names repository

Cal Naughton, Jr.: What does El Diablo mean?
Ricky Bobby: It’s like Spanish for like a fighting chicken.

Brian Miller OTM

Also Tom OTM, I had no idea pitbull fighting was so similar to pornography

I should’ve watched Talladega Nights last night again instead of Closer, wtf was I thinking

Closer: The Realest Airplane Takeoff Stripper Slapping Caught on Tape

you wanted to see Natalie Portman naked

The drugs were addling you, it was not your fault.

MrQ OTM

Natalie Portman doesn’t even actually get naked in the movie, it’s a misnomer. Underpants and bra /= naked.

The slapping scene was hilarious though. Also the Jude Law/Clive Owen internet sex scene.

Never mind, that movie ruled actually.

my stepdad rented that movie once, i did not watch with him ewww creepy

Natalie Portman doesn’t even actually get naked in the movie, it’s a misnomer.

well then i guess i was hasty in moving that up to the top of my netflix queue.

Well, don’t get me wrong, there are other naked people in the strip club, and there’s a shot of Jude Law’s crotch so if you’re just looking to see naked people, this is a respectable film in that regards, it’s just that none of the naked people are either of the female leads.

, and there’s a shot of Jude Law’s crotch

deleting from netflix queue all together.

Everytime you slap a stripper, an airplane gets its clearance for takeoff

what happens when you turkey slap a stripper?

That’s my favorite Bloodhound Gang song

It’s also prohibited in the UK, which last year led the Edinburgh Film festival to pull 1974 film Cockfighter from its schedule on the grounds that it contained too much cockfighting.

The British Board of Film Classification’s Sue Clark explained at the time: “The film was never edited for classification in the UK because it’s called Cockfighter. And if you take out all the cockfighting scenes there’s not much left.”

OK seriously wtf are you reading

if someone is continually giving me bad cites for articles to get for him, and I ask him about one, asking him “Is this the right article, even though it’s the wrong journal it’s the right author, year, page numbers, etc.” and he replies, “well if it looks like a duck. . .” and that’s all he says should I

a) send him a turducken

b) tell him to kiss my ass

c) do nothing at all and hope he forgets the request

Is the weather bad enough for me to skip going to my internship this afternoon?

MW: Does Google Scholar help in this instance?

mw you should probably stab him

alex is OTM

MrQ, I think his response may have been acceptable if you were getting an Audubon field guide.

oh i’ve been google scholaring the shit out of his stuff, he never gives me the titles of the articles just authors and page numbers, which makes it hard to find sometimes with GS.

stab the turducken, send it to him with a note that says “YOU” on it, if you are adverse to actually stabbing him.

drop it off a bridge onto his car

also Mary, I think the weather is terrible enough to justify anything. Except it appears to have just stopped snowing as soon as I say this :\

you should stab each individual bird involved with the turducken actually, so when he takes it apart there is a new knife and a new note. I suggest “YOU,” “STAY OUT OF MALIBU LEBOWSKI,” and then finally the entirety of his stupid article, all fried and covered in bird guts.

This is what I would do, MW.

actually mark I think his response was OTT rude and patronizing but OTOH I would never, ever have asked the question you asked in the first place, ever. People who make poor RFIs don’t get extra attention. You set yourself up.

it’s like some of these people have never heard of google. they’ll send me an email and be like OMG OMG I NEED THIS SOOOOOO QUICKLY PLEASE SEND RIGHT NOW ORDER THIS PLEASE and i throw the article into Google Scholar and send them it like two minutes later and they’re all OMG YOU IS GENIUS.

OK so my semi-boss just said “Hello Kathleen Turner!” to me. ????? 8[

xpost ppl be stupid esp ppl at universities?

yes Tombot, you are OTM I am too nice to these people.

My internship claims that using Google Scholar is cheating; therefore you should search each database individually until you find or fail to find your article.

that’s logical, DON’T USE EVERY AVAILABLE TOOL! NOTHING MORE MODERN THAN THE ABACUS.

PAAAAH! That is complete BS, Mary.

also, no using printers, you have to transcribe everything by hand.

EXCUSE ME BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT

THAT IS IMPORTANT AND AWESOME

send THAT to duck dude

We have to teach them the library research process by modeling acceptable library practices. Now, when I use GS at my Saturday job, I feel guilty.

Access to the URL: http://pr0n.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/6/66/Meowwars.gif has been denied.

(Your request was denied because of its content categorization: Erotic/Sex.)

awesome.

“well if it looks like a duck. . .”

I don’t even know what this means.

Maybe it’s different for your stuff Mary but 9 times out of 10 when I GS an article, it takes me directly to the journal’s website.

I think it’s just that her internship is being stodgy and old fashioned in order to prove a point, moreso than a failing of GS.

About 50% of the ref staff I talk to around here are GS-crazy, and the others treat it like it’s trying to date their daughter.

Um, the way it usually works for me is, GS checks and sees if the university provides access to the database that hosts it, and if so—goes to that full-text link or pdf whatver on the database. Most of the stuff my students want isn’t freely available.

your students should be more interested in possible applications for synthetic bitumen maybe

The lights have been off here for over an hour, but our computers are still working:(

Alexandria has the worst infrastructure—the wind blows and the whole city loses power.

Wait, you haven’t got any power? Yikes.

It is snowing here, again. It SOUNDS hideously windy outside, but the snow isn’t going at too bad of an angle. Not sure what to make of that?

it is a mystery

cyclones. we have one in the courtyard you can see from the smoking deck

So far i have been rejected by two guardian readers; does fox news have a dating site?

the wind here is absolutely howling. the snow isn’t so bad but it’s so light that it’s being blown everywhere. there are bare patches of grass then 3 foot drifts out on the quad outside my office.

trying to get home is going to suck. and i think i’m out of food.

Ed you should try eHarmony.com and be matched up by Colonel Sanders on the 29 viewpoints of eccentricity or whatever he actually says in that ad.

you should go for guardian employees. that’s the pete method.

YA HEARD

it’s not doing anything over here. not looking forward to the ice, i want some SNOW SNOW SNOW

their offices are round the corner from my plat, maybe I should stand on the doorstep and hand out flyers.

plat = flat

GUYS just in case you are not following the “Oh you’re so cute thread!” for understandable LJ related reasons, see this now:
