And did anyone have a printer rec? I'm going to suggest the HP otherwise.

I don't know nothin' about printers.

I know nothing about printers.
Go buy shininess.

So our weekend is an hour longer. Nice.
― KitCat, Thursday, 1 November 2007 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link
What's everyone doing for their long weekend?
Seeing enough garage rock to kill a mule.
― Laurel, Thursday, 1 November 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Probably going you-know-where on Friday night. Haven't decided yet on the rest.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
You-know-where = a certain bar where a certain DJ is spinning.
in NYC, I'm going to the FMU Record Fair then to see Warhol's Chelsea Girls.

Going to yoga at 9 am on Saturday with Jessifer and Jourtney. I haven't made any other plans.
― Jenny, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Were there any takers on a potential Saturday night karaoke outing? Hmm?
I would sing with all this CHILXors.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
in NYC, I'm going to the FMU Record Fair Is that the one Andy from 7secdelay talks about?
― KitCat, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
the Hippie Parade, yes
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh I would do karaoke on Saturday for sures. I thought you were talking about NEXT Saturday for some reason.
― n/a, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I have doubled commitments next Saturday - I'm working a lawyer dinner and then I'm jumping on the Lez Boat for drinks with Leslie et al. So this Saturday was what I was thinking.
― Jenny, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Dr. Morbius, you act like you're an old man.
― Jesse, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Jesse are you working Saturday?
― Jenny, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Dan, is this someone you've been on a date with before?
No but I have wanted to for a while so I am all aflutter.
― dan m, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
You know what slang term I don't like? "Fuck with," meaning (as best as I can tell) "get into" or "experience." Could be that I've only ever heard it used by white hip-hop bloggers (as in "I haven't even fucked with that new Kanye album yet"), but it just kind of grates.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
And by "heard it used" I mean "seen it used."
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I have to go see Maps tonight at the Field Museum. Boo!
― coco, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link
xp - That's because a person would sound like a total assfaced bozo if they actually SAID that out loud.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link
(apologies to all those who have employed this term IRL)
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, sorry, deej.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha. But you know, I'm fine with "fuck with" meaning "mess with," as in "Ah, lighten up, I'm just fuckin' with ya."
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, sure. That's well established.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, to me "fuck with" implies some level of tinkering or changing. To my mind, you cannot "fuck with" the new Kanye album unless you were a producer.
― Jenny, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link
There's a new slang term blossoming in this sentence, though. You know the usual phrase "I'll wait for the DVD." With music it can be "I'll hear it used" (i.e., buy it used).
― Eazy, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
It's more of a put-down than the DVD phrase, because it implies that it'll be easy to find in the used bins.
― Eazy, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Jenny- I'll probably be able to be up at Johnny's by 6:45 or so, you still up for a beer or two?
Laurel- Say goodbye to Joe and Xtine for me, they're leaving NYC for Pennsylvania. Cavestomp is their swansong, RIP the thing with two heads.
Dan- I did not notice you fluttering. Also, my mild dyslexia makes me think of fluffernutters when I see the word "fluttering".
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link
different "used" though
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Here's the usage that got me riled up enough to post (from Tom Breihan's Village Voice blog):
There have been music-based video-games like Dance Dance Revolution in the past, but I haven't really fucked with them. Guitar Hero is impossible not to fuck with.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:55 (sixteen years ago) link
I am a curmudgeonly late (usually never) adopter of slang. See: insider/outsider language. Very rarely am I on the "insider" side of things. That guy seems to be forcing his way inside by aggressively using this construction.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Jenny - No. I am not working.
John, etc.- what about: "Crack? No. I don't fuck with that."
― Jesse, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link
or "I've fucked around with Sudoku, but found I was too damn dumb to do it."
― Jesse, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's different from what John said, but I can't wait to try it out.
"How about this Blackout, man?" "I'll hear it used."
Of course, "used bins" won't exist much in a few more years.
xpost- it's possible not to fuck with Guitar Hero. Not owning a Playstation-type console and not spending time in the homes of those who do make it very possible.
― Eazy, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link
As someone with too much shit in a studio apartment, I am suddenly looking forward to the demise of the book and the compact disc.
― Eazy, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
but fuck around with =/= fuck with most of the time
― La Lechera, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
a home without books is a body without soul, eazy. cicero said that.
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
except he left off the "eazy" part.
LaTeX code doesn't really do it for me... but trust me, every time I remember "oh yeah, date tomorrow" I get a little adrenaline shot.
― dan m, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
i ain't got no soul.
jon spencer said that.
cool dan, i look forward to seeing you skipping around the office tomorrow.
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 November 2007 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link
True Amanda. What about "I don't fuck with that shit" usage though?
