Did it go beyond that to funzone?

LOL. 848 just talked about how the Jarvis red line stop smells like pee in a story about the aldermanic runoff in that district. It smells like pee so bad!

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

The incumbent alderman is running on a platform of putting a Trader Joe's in Rogers Park. I'd like to hear Amanda's view on this.

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Woo no boss lady today. Hopefully even bigger boss man will skeedaddle like he usually does at some point in the day, as well. And that's when the pants come off.

Did anyone see The Daily Show last night? The book looked fascinating. About these crazy daredevil/scientist dudes who climb Redwood trees, like 350 feet high, and found a whole new complicated ecosystem up there, with its own plants and animals. Earthworms, even. Like, the tangled branches of the trees create another ground, and the animals that live there don't even know that it's *not* the ground. Weird. I want to read this.

I mean, it sounds like all Joe Moore has to do is get the pee smell out of the Jarvis el station and people will be more content. Maybe I'll send him a bottle of cat pee smell getter outer that I've never used that came with Sample DeKuyper the cat.

Man, I'm still hurting from going at it a little too long at Super Trivia, Week 2 last night. Our team was called on to go head-to-head in the light box buzzer machine lightning round, and I choked so bad. Missed all 3 of my questions, and they were all ones I could have potentially known, which doesn't usually happen.

1. What is the real name of the Day-O song?
2. What is the name of the fuzzy blue mascot from the Atlanta Olympics?
3. What is the outcome when a catcher interferes with a batter's swing?

How did I miss all of these?!? Too nervous.

"The Banana Boat Song"

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

the other two i don't know

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

batter takes first base on catcher interference.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

hmm.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

I have no memory of that.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan, you should watch the Planet Earth series on the Discovery channel. They talk about the tops of tall trees in the Forest episode.

― Jeff, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

yeah those are right. i blanked on banana boat. and then i said a ball instead of going to first base. that one was really bad, because if i got it right we would have clinched the win, but instead they ended up coming back and tying us, forcing a final round where we won when they could not get the capital of south dakota!

as for the 2nd question, i buzzed in right away and said "whatzit," which i was totally sure was correct. but the answer was "izzy." i looked it up today and it turns out he was originally called whatzit and then they changed the name to izzy because whatzit was so bad. so i think that should have counted, but oh well. i went to some of that olympics so i should have known.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Have you guys heard this Charlotte Gainsbourg album? It's fantastic.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

5:55 is the one I'm talking about.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was the whatzit too; guess I followed the run-up to the Olympics more than the Olympics itself.

Thought of you guys too hearing the Jarvis pee story this morn.

― Eazy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

why would i etc.

I haven't heard that record but I do like me some Serge. Also enjoyed the Gondry movie she was in last year.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

tee hee I know what made you think of that! (Jarvis Cocker wrote the lyrics.)

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, I didn't know that. I thought of it because I was, um, listening to it.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Anyways - recommended.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

oh, i thought it was too much of a coincidence, and i even posted a picture of jarvis cocker, and... it all fit so neatly!

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to be in town in 2 weeks to try and find an apartment. I noticed there's a decent show that Friday night with Brightblack, Jack Rose, and the dude from Lungfish, if anyone's into that sort of thing. I might try and go.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, I could be up for that if I'm around. I like Brightblack Morning Light. Is it at Empty Bottle?

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

It is indeed. I've never been there, but I'm sure I will soon be going 3 times a month or something.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

Do I like the Klaxons?

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

This is why I ask...

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

that's a decision that every woman has to make for herself.

I'm pro-Klaxons-choice.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Hi.

Bye.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Gmail has been sucking too much recently.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

I just checked their myspace. Yes, I do like them, it turns out.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

TELL me about it, Jesse.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Sarah we listened to the Klaxons on the way to St. Louis. I think they are fine but not amazing. I like the "Golden Skans" song.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

I like them enough to walk down the street & see them FOR FREE.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Sarah,

Oh how Gmail has been sucking recently. Suck, suck, suck. Day and night, always the sucking. Never any fucking, always sucking.

Sincerely,

Jesse

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

I like BrightBMorningL too and could go, though I'm very mixed about the Empty Bottle (esp. now that the pinball's gone).

― Eazy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

1. What is the real name of the Day-O song?
2. What is the name of the fuzzy blue mascot from the Atlanta Olympics?
3. What is the outcome when a catcher interferes with a batter's swing?

Didn't look at the answers:

1. "The Banana Boat Song"
2. Whatizit
3. Batter automatically advances to first base?

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

Guys I am totally driving to Chicago today. Someone YSI me an iPass.

― Jordan, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

Guys I am totally posting from a new cubicle. My world has been turned upside-down.

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

2 out of 3 ain't bad, Jaymc. And as I said, I think Whatizit should have counted!

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

I agree!

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

I've got an itch to do trivia again. Tuesdays, anyone?

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

Guys, I am totally editing a transcript of a speech from Finland.

― Eazy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

Haha EZ, awesome.

I got 1 and 3, but 3 was a total guess. Blanked on #2.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

^^^what is that called?

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

I only got Banana Boat.

Dunno, Dan.

Jesse, tell me more, tell me more.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_sign

I was thinking it was a double dagger, but going to that page referenced the correct one above.

― Eazy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know what it's called, but it's used to denote a section. As in 13 ILCA §6 - Chapter 13 of the Annotated Illinois Code, Section 6.
