If I ever get testicular cancer...

oh, not even I can go on with this post.

So the "dead girl in plastic" was no problem but taxidermy your own testicles and it's just too ridiculous/awful to postulate. Just trying to get the hang of this "posting" thing, that's all.

Laurel, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I've considered taxidermy on a living pet sometimes.

Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link

In defense of Kenan, he was just responding to my Laura Palmer pic.

Jesse, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I still don't know wtf the laura palmer pic was for. I was just trying to be wtf along with.

kenan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link

i think jesse was talking about something else wrapped in plastic?

Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link

Alright ALRIGHT YOU GOT ME. I THINK DEAD GIRLS ARE HOT, OKAY?! I ENJOY SEX WITH THE DEAD! IS THAT A CRIME???!!!

kenan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:08 (sixteen years ago) link

I said something (?) was wrapped in plastic, and I posted of pic of Laura Palmer b/c of Jack Nance's quote.

Jesse, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:14 (sixteen years ago) link

oh i missed the quote.

ok i am going away again, i have fallen out of practice with this whole "posting" thing.

kenan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link

i should have asked someone for the Twin Peaks box for chanukah

Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh wow! I was going to say that the box set sucked, but they have a new Gold Edition that doesn't suck.

Jesse, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, it looks sweet.

Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:20 (sixteen years ago) link

you said you had GAY PORN wrapped in plastic

i saw No Country at the Davis and was fine with the picture but i think i'm probably not as picky about that stuff as other people

my office party is thurs in evanston and i don't want to go home between work and the party so i was thinking i'd go see a movie at the big evanston theater in the afternoon. what should i go see?

n/a, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i put the twin peaks box on my amazon wishlist but i'd feel a little guilty if anyone actually bought it because it's kinda $$$. but i wouldnt' feel THAT guilty

n/a, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:59 (sixteen years ago) link

i think i'm choosing between "i'm not there" and "the mist" as movie choices.

n/a, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 00:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Jeff and I saw The Golden Compass this past weekend and it was entertaining. There are FIGHTING BEARS in it, which is cool.

I have often contemplated having Sample made into a cat-skin hat, with her face on the front and her tail hanging down in the back.

What else...

OH - there is a Taco Bell in the Thompson Center. More convenient than Ogilvie and you can walk from one or more Metra stops there via the pedway and NEVER ACTUALLY GO OUTSIDE.

I am getting a tattoo on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 5 PM from this guy http://www.timbiedron.com/index.html (getting something designed in the style of his paintings). He's IN DEMAND. I had to wait since July to even schedule this appointment for April.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Get this one:

Jenny, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 01:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I can safely say that if I were dating someone and they had a tattoo of a bloody bunny being stabbed to death by a carrot, I would break up with that person.

Jenny, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 01:22 (sixteen years ago) link

No, wait. This one:

I don't love most of his tattoos, but I do love his drawings and painting such as:

tonight i swam (badly), played basketball (pretty badly), and bought plane tickets to new orleans

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 04:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I got the Laura Palmer pic. There was (maybe still is) a Twin Peaks fan-club newsletter called "Wrapped in Plastic."

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 06:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Also, I esp. like that owl drawing.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 06:20 (sixteen years ago) link

So what we've learned today:

- Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic = classic
- ANTM-hopeful wrapped in plastic = dud
- Judging Kenan harshly and rashly = dud

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link

And owl pictures = classic

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I should've just seen it at the Davis, since I wound up missing the first 5 minutes. I don't think I missed much, though.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I <3 the Davis.

Dan, I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. :-(

For the record, I would never want a pet stuffed. I would just get a new (live) pet. Just like I don't appreciate open casket viewings AT ALL.

Bosses are out again today! WOOP WOOP!

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Aaaannnd they came in after all. :-(

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I am getting a tattoo tonight!!

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:25 (sixteen years ago) link

First five minutes = some Tommy Lee Jones voiceover, and Llwellyn hunting. He shoots some deer-like creature, wounds it, follows it, sees a wounded dog, then tracks the dog to the drug deal site (guessing you came in around there?).

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Jesse, what are you getting?

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link

this, only in watercolor-style?

that little fella is so cute i can't stand it

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't find the image anymore, but it's a silhouette of Don Quixote.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link

A coworker brought in her dog this morning. She is a really sweet poodle named Maude. She sat on my lap and rested her head on her paws for a while.

Yup. I came in as Llewellyn was surveying the carnage. The guy at the box office assured me that all I was missing was a "monologue."

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:10 (sixteen years ago) link

I was confused for the first 1/3 of the movie as to why Josh Brolin's character was named Lu-Ellen.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link

No Jordan, I meant to mention that it isn't the Picasso one, though I did consider that too. It's from a Tshirt in some museum gift shop, I think.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Um, I just noticed the busts in that image. Did you do that? Is that Cervantes?

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link

At least one is Shakespeare.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:21 (sixteen years ago) link

haha, i don't know, i just grabbed the first version off of gis

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link

vote in my Fishing with John poll!

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link

your what?

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't understand a single one of the options in that poll. Or the title or the image.

Jesse, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i've never seen fishing with john, though i probably should

n/a, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:56 (sixteen years ago) link

fine

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
