I would not try to hit him, just pull and twist.

Quick update: I'm broken, she's broken, we're going to try counseling to see where we are at.

[voodoolily]

Well of course we knew this about you. But how is she broken? Juicy details, m'kay?

[Rasix]

Quick update: I'm broken, she's broken, we're going to try counseling to see where we are at.

Couples counseling is just about the most unfun thing in the universe.

[Lantyssa]

I hope it helps you find some peace, Hat.  G'luck.

[Merusk]

Lotsa Luck, Hat.

this is also just an excuse to say "New avatar!" At least until I find something better.

Eating Indian food before a flight should be considered ample justification for permanent placement on the TSA's no fly list.

[rattran]

Dealing with the TSA and airline stupidity should be considered ample justification for eating Indian food before a fight.
Or cabbage, beans and pears.

I give you two cocks up.

Public Service Announcement: The new McDonald's Southern Chicken Sandwich tastes like deep-fried ass. Avoid at all costs.

[Sauced]

Oh come on, you knew it would be before you gave in to temptation.  The Pacific NW needs Chick-fil-a, god damnit.

[Miasma]

How the hell is Jimmy Fallon going to host Late Night when Conan leaves?  He was only funny on SNL because he couldn't keep it together during skits and kept laughing, he was pretty awful at weekend update which is the closest approximation to hosting too.

I was certain he had been relegated to the dust bin of SNL stars who failed after they left the show...

Maybe Tina Fey will agree to cohost and carry his smirking ass like she did on SNL.

I saw some people that claimed that the new McD's sandwich compared favorably with Chik-Fil-A (which I have never tried). If they are anything alike at all, no fucking thanks.


Maybe Vegas will get one and I can try it out there. Like I need another excuse to head to Vegas 


As for Jimmy Fallon- Wow. What a cocksucking lacktalent. They only skit he ever did that made me laugh was the couple with the thick Boston accents. When his sister slept with Nomar Garciaparra, the line "You have blessed our house with your whorish ways!" just killed me.

[Sauced]

Chick-fil-a is like the Burgerville of the South with a side of Jesus.  The Lord wouldn't let 'em serve dog food like McD's!

[voodoolily]

Hate to break it to you, honey, but we have Chik-Fil-A. You just have to drive to Clackamas Town Center (yes, the mall with Tonya Harding's skating rink!).

[Engels]

Seattle may not have Chick-fil-a, which is sad, but it does have Ezelle's Chicken, which is worth the trip up to 23rd. There are other locations. Their sweet potato pie is stunning.

You know, as shocked and disappointed as I was when I heard Fallon would be taking over, you've made me more depressed about it. Because Tina Fey would fucking rock as the new host.

I've watched Late Night off and on since Letterman started. It was my nightly ritual as a kid. Conan had a great run, he's a natural at it...mostly because he was a writer more than a comedian. And the band is phenomenal, Max's snare work on the theme song makes me weep.

Fallon? Dopey kid who, as mentioned, was more funny when he and Horatio would giggle through a sketch. But hey, he might be better than the painful Jimmy Kimmel, who I thought was funny when he did the Man Show. I've tried to watch his talk show but it's just awkward and forced. And what the hell happened to the man show with Joe Rogaine and the other creepy guy, it went from a rip on the Elk's club style of manliness to some creepy spring break nightmare.

Fast food: I've been eating some now that I'm in limbo between two houses, usually working at the new house while my kitchen is at the the apartment. Fast food is fucking garbage. I just go for a mass of food that will keep the fires burning, the wendy's baconator with a slathering of arby's horsey sauce. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die soon if I don't get my kitchen set up.

[Signe]

I have a very difficult time getting past the smell of most fast food.  It mostly smells like rancid oil.

They have had a rash of break ins recently (article in the paper yesterday). I know there is one on NE 4th in Renton, but I haven't been there yet.

[Merusk]

Random Prediction: $5 "regular" gas before Labor Day.

[HaemishM]

Jimmy Fallon as a talk show host is just a stunningly bad idea. It's going to more awkward than Chevy Chase's run. He's JUST NOT FUNNY. We already have Jimmy Kimmel stinking up the airwaves, must we add more shitty hosts?

Ya, doesn't surprise me. Its on the border with a harsh(er) neighborhood. Nothing by Chicago/NY/LA standards, but still.

Games are kind of depressing.  MMO companies are leaning towards forcing people to use their proprietary download managers.  Other sorts of games are installing rootkit type software and instituting restrictions that could make you unable to play a game for which you've already paid.  So now you have to worry if you need to format your drive for whatever reason or you buy a new computer or something.  More and more single player games are requiring you to use them online... more control for them, less for us walking wallets.  I still love to play games but the thinking about games is just depressing.  When did game companies become so scared and fascist?  Music is depressing, too.

That is my useless, sad post of the day.

[Sky]

Cheer up. The limit on install thing just means you need to make a phone call and they'll reset the count for you, should be like reinstalling windows or whatever. I'd rather not do it, but I don't see the anger. Maybe the Bushco strategy of raising everyone's fascism tolerance level is working.

[Signe]

I'm not angry, I'm sad.  I don't like the telephone.  I'm afraid of what's in the wires.  Aliens or sommat.

I agree with what you said.  I never made it a point to catch it, but when I happened to see it, Adam and Jimmy were funny.  Because it was goofy in certain style despite being sexist (which it was supposed to be, but it was done in a style that everyone could laugh about).  The newer two hosts were just sexist dumbasses and that type of "humor" doesn't go over well with me.

[Sky]

You should be more worried about the bugs that nest in the receiver and crawl into your ear.

[Signe]

Exactly.  Who knows what crawls into those wires?  Maybe tiny snakes, too.

[Lantyssa]

I was just scared of talking to a living person.  Now I have to worry about bugs and snakes and aliens? 

[Oban]

You really do not want to know how phone cables are made and what goes in to them then.

[NowhereMan]

Sooo... I think I've eaten something my body doesn't agree with, or at least the feeling of a rusty fork being thrust into my guts and twisted and the occasional vomiting indicate I'm slowly turning into a being of pure energy by purging myself of useless matter. Thing is I haven't eaten anything that noone else has eaten (I do most of my eating in a college cafeteria and share meals that I don't have there). It is clearly a mystery.

[Signe]

It sounds as if you are allergic to your internal organs. 

[NowhereMan]

It seems like my body is working on a cure...

[SuperPopTart]

Perhaps, much like Signe's Sig.. your internal organs are trying to rid itself of it's mortal coil?
