BUMMERZ

it's still weird to think that Phil Hartman is dead. He lives on in so many Simpsons episodes, and News Radio, and all kinds of stuff. He's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, fer chrissakes! He can't be dead!

*collapses, weeping*

Hartman worked part time as a graphic artist, including designing album covers for popular rock bands. Hartman's covers include:

Steely Dan's 1977 album Aja
Poco's 1978 album Legend
Firesign Theatre's 1980 album Fighting Clowns (photo)
Three album covers for the band America
He also designed Crosby, Stills & Nash's logo.

Charles Russell Bard, an importer of French silks, founded the company that bears his name after a bout of urinary discomfort prompted him to try Gomenol, a medication refined from eucalyptus trees and manufactured in France.

"Some people think I’m crazy creating a character and wearing a costume to get a message across, and to an extent, maybe they’re right," said Frank Kenny, founder and CEO of Just Different Specialty Teas. "Coffee has Juan Valdez, Kool-Aid has a talking depiction, Pillsbury has a cute little dough boy, M&M’s have talking candy as spokespersons ... now the tea industry has its own unique spokesperson too, Captain Teao."

That's it.

I am eating milk chocolate with lavender in it and I don't know if I like it or not. Maybe I need a costumed character to explain why it is good because I can truly enjoy it.

I get sad when I watch Phil on Newsradio sometimes. :(

Steely Dan is going to be at Jazzfest in New Orleans. That's going to be a little weird.

So I have to do some homework for tomorrow and I have a cold and don't feel well and I'm wearing an absurd jacket/sweater thing that is all the rage among soccer moms and looks like it was made from a bathmat so obviously, I am interested in hearing more about potential TT plans.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

I WILL GO ANYWHERE FOR TT.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

ME TOO AS LONG AS IT IS RELATIVELY EASY TO GET TO

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

yes, i should have added that. i am going to need beer/booze STAT.

Apparently this is the flag of Grand Rapids, MI.

― n/a, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

are you at work jenny? would old timer's be convenient for you? cause i'll do that, i was just thinking if it was just me and dan we'd could go someplace nearer to our respective places on the wild wild west side.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

We are having band practice after work but maybe we'll call when we're done and see if people are still TTing. Especially if it's somewhere near our hood.

― n/a, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

I am at the last day at the EEOC. I don't want you and Dan to go to OT's just because of me, though, because there's some chance that my cold medicine will wear off and I'll realize the folly of my ways.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

I am at the last day at the EEOC.

NONSENSE. I mean, I am at the EEOC and it is my last day.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

JENNY DOUBLE UP ON YR MEDS AND MEET US AT OLD TIMERS.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

That's the flag of GR because they have a giant red Calder sculpture outdoors downtown, and all of downtown is along the Grand River banks.

NB: I'm pretty sure you can climb all over the Calder, you should go!

― Laurel, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

Just throwing this out there: how about the Green Eye? It's right off the Western Blue Line Stop if you didn't know.

xxposts Or OT's, whichever. I drove to work today because I was late so I'll have to go home first, but no big.

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

i have been to the green eye many many many times. will gladly go there again.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

GREEN EYE KILLS THREAD DEAD.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

that picture is a prime example of how not to caption something

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh.

Green Eye sounds fun. Plus, it would be on our way home from taking Ben home.

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Or on the way to take him home.

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

I think the bukakitten killed the thread, really.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

green eye? old timers? old green timers eye?

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

Bukakitten = funny

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

I daren't look at bukakitten.

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

SO BROKE YOU GUYS.

Also, agreed.

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

GREEN EYE GREEN EYE GREEN EYE

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

It's just a kitten with milk on its cute widdle kitty face and the word BUKAKITTEN across the bottom.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

I would go to Green Eye but prob wouldn't get there until around 7.

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe earlier.

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not supposed to work any overtime, so the fact that I put in 9 hours on Tuesday surely means that I can leave a little early today.

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

i've worked 13 hours, 13 hours and 11 hours so far this week so you can bet your balls* i'm getting out of here close to on time today.

* ladies feel free to bet your ovaries.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

I'll see your balls and raise you...

nevermind

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man I forgot the Wings are on tonight.

Also this is kind of late but MSU defeated BC in the NCAA Frozen Four. Suck it, Massachusetts!

*ducks Kevin's right fist*

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

it all comes back to otto's balls doesn't it?

xpost dan, two goals in the final 18 seconds??!?!? CRAZINGS!

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

bu is always a safer bet than bc. bc always has the marquee players and the state of the art arena and training facility and the campus is way prettier and in a nicer part of the city but bu is always the more prepared team. if you gave jack parker the SIX NHL NUMBER 1 picks that bc has he'd challenge for the 8th spot in the nhl playoffs.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah this was BC's third exit from the Frozen Four in four years, I think? Second loss in the title game in a row? Poor guys. Not that I'm an MSU fanboy, though I did spend a year there (go green, go white). Sparty was due, I guess. Their coach is pretty awesome, too. He won the title back in like 91 while at Northern Michigan, which is such a shit school I'm amazed it even has a team.

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

I am currently conferring with Jeffery about TT and will have a decision shortly.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

good god WHAT are you guys talking about?

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

frozen four.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

SPORTZ. Dude stuff. On ICE.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

Women play hockey, too, yknow. Minnesota-Duluth kicks most everyone's ass.

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

SPORTZ. Of interest to anyone, regardless of gender. On ICE.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)
