In ILX2, dates show you!
That’s probably just because the Preferences haven’t been tricked out yet.
Why the hate for BBCODE?
I don’t understand what is un-American about it.
the current style is fine for everyone
Wait! I swear a little while ago it said 21 February, 2007!
What’s up with no xpost warnings?
More important than all this board nonsense:
REMIND ME AGAIN WHO’S GOING TO BE AT GALWAY ARMS TONIGHT?
I AM.
I only hate BBCODE because HTML is ingrained in me now.
Yes.
if we’re only allowed bbcode, how does noise board work anymore?
I like bbcode. Html requires too much shifting.
dan, i’m about 90% positive i won’t be able to make it friday as i seem to have a problem with my calendar reading comprehension skills. but fake fictions, if you’re playing around or after 11-ish i’ll be at ronnys.
Well, I think I will be at Galway Arms tonight.
I also think I will go get a quick haircut in a minute.
OH!!! And I will be there Friday for sure. Hoorah.
One time in Philly Brian, Courtney and I had a whole huge auditorium to ourselves and we watched a movie on a full-sized screen, drank Yueng-Ling and smoke teh cigarettes and did this
I am kind of cute in that first picture.
Yeah, it’s one of your better ones.
I kind of want to do me in that picture. Hell, I think I will go ahead and do me now IRL.
that’s awesome.
EVERYONE STAND BACK
GIVE THE MAN SOME ROOM HERE
Hi. I struck out. :(
But I did get a little kernel of salty honey.
“I mean, the fucking thing has jalapeños on it, bro,” Cook added. “Jalapeños.”
struck out? did you shoot yourself down and go home with someone else?
Somehow word got out to the left hand, and there was a fite.
It’s time to buy yourself some flowers, man.
I’ve never actually seen Dane Cook. Where do people see him?
sometimes i see him in my nightmares, and i wake up screaming.
I’ve never actually seen Dane Cook. Where do people see him?
leaning against the mens room door on interstate rest stops, usually.
This is the longest day ever.
So I have onion powder and garlic powder — indispensible!
I have cheese powder and mushroom powder for when the situation calls for those.
I even have wasabi powder.
WHERE IS MY BACON POWDER. I want someone to invent powdered bacon so I can add it to all kinds of things.
I know there’s a nuILX but I can’t say goodbye just yet.
bacon bits + two sheets of wax paper + rolling pin = bacon powder.
So... Remember upthread Jenny asked what Amanda said that made her LOL? I think it was probably this, or at least it had that effect on me:
Ah yes. Bubble. I dunno. I thought it was pretty good.

It’s been confirmed: Armando DOES NOT KNOW.
“I dunno.” — Armando

I’m eating popcorn. Why does it make me oh so very happy?
xpost yeah i thought that was great, too.
Hehe. I did think Bubble was pretty good.
I want my bacon powder to be stable so it doesn’t rot in the cupboard. And not just ground to bits, but POWDERED, so I can sprinkle it on/in things. If someone can powder mushrooms, why can’t someone manage to powder meat?
the chinese invented everything.
Oooh, you think it tastes good? I’ll look for that at Golden Pacific.
Damn, I could go for a snickers bar right about now. I very rarely want a snickers.
Ooh.. I like that little story.
That is awesome.

Stop posting here! ADAPT OR DIE.
Speaking of which: Kevin, in case you don’t see it, stet invited you to email him to sort things out.
I am excited to hear about trivia. Please post details. Was Prof. Hummingbird there? Did Nora show her boobs? Did Sarah take a lot of flash photos?
Trivia was fun. We won one round ($20). Nick and Sarah had already left, so we rock-paper-scissored to see who won it. Dan’s friend (what was her name dammit) won, but then gave it to Katie. Our team was named “Honey With Colts.” The best team name was “What’s That On Your Forehead?” They won the whole thing.
Everyone agreed that Jeff is essential to our future success since we SUCKED at sports trivia.
I am going to keep posting here until Kevin can be a part of ILX2 life. Solidarity.
Contrasting that with my post on nuILX is kind of scary.
why does that piece of shit ILX over there keep LOGGING ME OUT???????
I don’t want to keep switching. I like this model.
In the past month, Dane Cook seems to have replaced Carrot Top as the punchline indicated “worst comedy ever”.
Hey EZ — Lavender Diamond is coming to the EB. Wanna go? I do. 5/27
How did we win a round? I thought we established that other team in the same room as us beat us in every round? Was it that one round where they accidentally gave us two more points than we should have gotten?
Anyways, I had fun despite the somewhat stressful set-up. I don’t feel like I did that well myself but Dan is a monster on the geography questions. I would have preferred more question variety, as opposed to 5 straight questions about volcanos or 4 straight questions about insects and how they smell.
I’m not sure how we won the last round, but they said we did. Maybe it was the bonus questions.
What were some of the sports questions?
What was the location of the 2007 NBA Allstar game? (we got it wrong)
“ ” “ ” “ ” “ Super Bowl? (that one we got right)
Who is the newly-signed coach of the Dallas Cowboys? (also wrong)
Um, there was a baseball question in there, I’m pretty sure John knew it. There were two NASCAR questions back-to-back to start off the game, I knew the first (first race of the year, Daytona 500) but the second was a wash (who was last year’s champ). There may have been one or two other sports questions but those stand out in my memory.

Damn, you should have come out!
had i remembered at the end of the day i might have. for the first time since before xmas i am going to make it between paychecks without being broke and/or overdrawn 4 days prior to the next check.
Um, there was a baseball question in there, I’m pretty sure John knew it.
Cal Ripken Jr. (who, in 1995, broke Lou Gehrig’s record for consecutive games played?)
Think of me as a savings bank. XP
i haven’t even opened the envelope.
Ooh, sheer good sense, then?! Congratulations. And open the damn envelope.
I actually knew that baseball one too. Which, as I mentioned, was part of the problem: John and I overlap too much in our knowledge.
so have we all decided to stay in the sandbox for now? i’d hate to have to try to divide my attention between 2 chicago threads, or 2 boards, or 2 anything
Well said.
Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.

Fucking myspace.
What a dead work day. I am basically just sitting around waiting on other people.
same, i’m covering for someone else today and with the exception of two phone calls and one issue brief i had to send to washington i haven’t done shit. one task every half hour is a pace i can enjoy. and get used to for that matter.
so have we all decided to stay in the sandbox for now?
I think so, especially since the last 2 times I’ve tried to visit the other place it’s been unavailable.
What a dead work day. I am basically just sitting around waiting on other people.
Hey, that sounds like my day at work.
there’s dane cook in the back, throwing up the bro signs.
Our team was named “Honey With Colts.”
i just shared this factoid with the office. it made them happy.
jaymc, I could be on yr trivia team in August if I actually put myself in a big ’nuff credit hole to make the trip.
Usually I’m pretty consistently busy from 6:30 to 11, but man. It’s slow.
I want to go home and watch movies all day long. We watched “For Your Consideration” on Tuesday, it was lukewarm.
ARRRGH.
I opened a can of Diet Coke and set it on my dresser, opened the top drawer and picked out socks, put them on and left the room. 30 seconds later I come back and Kenny is standing above the can which is now sitting inside the drawer upside-down. Fucking bird!
Should have closed the drawer?
that’s a pretty awesome bird.
Should have gotten less malicious bird?
I’d like to go home and watch movies too, I’ve got True Romance at home.
I’m in a weird netflix phase, I’ve seen most of the movies I’ve been looking forward to and now I have huge groups of music dvds and old Britishes spy stuff. Or I could watch the Wire for a couple months.
i’ve been walking around with two movies in their envelopes ready to go back for a while now. and i forget about them everyday until i get ready to leave work.

Ooh, I want to see that, didn’t realize it was on DVD yet. I know it won’t be that good, but after Guffman, I feel an obligation to see everything Guest & Co. does.
Don’t you have an outgoing mailbox somewhere at work?
There were a few laughs in it but the whole thing just seemed off. The humor was forced and the pacing/structure was really bad. And it’s really short, like right at 80 minutes.
Don’t you have an outgoing mailbox somewhere at work?
we have an entire fucking post office here. i just keep forgetting about them until i’m packing up my shit and running to catch the bus.
Consider yourself reminded. Now will you put the envelopes in the mailbox? :)
from the “I always get those two confused” file: Stephen Tobolowsky and Bob Babalan.
Both rule immensely.
they really do.
Balaban is tinier.
also confused: balaban and babalan
bonobo
Bob Babalan is the one who blows Voight in the movie balcony in Midnight Cowboy.
bob babalan and bob loblaw
Sarah and I learned on PBS that bonobos are continually doing it. A quickie (like 10 seconds) is a form of greeting. Even the lady bonobos say hey to each other with a little lovin’.
