"Bagging up" is a v. Delaware (or possibly Delaware Valley/Delmarva Peninsula) expression. If you wanted to sound like you went to high school in New Castle County Delaware, you might say something like "Dag, that phone call bagged me up" making sure that you pronounce "phone" in a way that I can't even begin to spell out phonetically. Phowne but with an extra syllable or something.

Because who doesn't want to sound like he went to high school in New Castle County, Delaware?

If you want to sound like you went to high school in Sussex County, Delaware (as I did), you would say something more like "This dude in a rice burner tried to beat me off the line at the Broadkill light so I dropped it down to first and said, "FUGGIT" and smoked him in my Mustang. Dag. Bagged me up. Phowowhwowohweheene."

"Let's go to the beach." People in Delaware say that a lot, too.

I'm going to get off line now and go share my awesome mood with my school chums.

The name of the Husker Du song that I was trying to remember (and singing badly) last night is "Celebrated Summer". I am listening to it now and it rules.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

So just to review, y'all are pretty much doing your own things tonight, right?

― Jordan, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I gots tentative plans to hang with some peeps. You're welcome to meet up with us if you like/can. (so is everyone else) Hit me up on teh Gmail for my number if you don't have it, Jordan.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

It must suck to be a daughter brought to work on the day your dad has his email migrated to a new program for 5 hours.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

I disagree. It's important for children to learn about job cynicism and fruitless time wasting as early as possible.

― mattttt, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

ah, adulthood.

― sisut, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

Is Bring Your Daughter to Work Day today, or was that just a hypothetical?

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

It is here, I guess. The internets tells me the official day is the 26th.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to Glenn's Diner tonight with three other people. I won't know who these people are until I get there. Fun!

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

Restaurant club?

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but with a twist. At the end of every Restaurant Club year (which runs March to March), we vote on the top 10 restaurants of the year. We return to the restaurant voted #1 for an anniversary dinner. Then, a week later (or, this year, several weeks later, because of scheduling conflicts), we do something called Trios, in which you're assigned to go to one of the other nine restaurants in the top 10, with two (or sometimes three) other people. You don't know which one you're going to be assigned (although you can submit preferences) until the day before, and you don't know who your dining companions are until you get there.

Part of the idea behind it is to put people together that wouldn't normally associate, or who don't know each other too well. After seven years, this becomes harder to make happen, but there are always new people in the club (like Kr) and there are also people I see all the time but don't really ever talk to, beyond "Hey, what's up?"

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

I told you people about that farmworkers rally a long time ago.

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:11 (nineteen years ago)

Going to see Michigan.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Have fun, Sarah! I told my sis about the show but I dunno if she'll make it.

― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

If not, we'll seek her out and play for her whereever she is. BWAH HA HA.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

She lives near downtown GR, actually. :)

― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

The 19-year-old is on Facebook.

[Removed Illegal Link]

I guess she's probably 20 now. She graduates next year.
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

Formatting help

To make the entire thread italicized, use: [i]<em class='inlinetext'>your text</em>and don't close it
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

damn, I figured that probably wouldn't work
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

My crazy boss. I swear. He walks by the printer, picks up an unfinished thing I'm working on, then comes in and starts critiquing it on the basis that it's unfinished. "The picture doesn't match the headline." "Yes, I know, I'm still working on it, but I needed to see" etc etc. "Well, you can't do this." "I know, it's not finished." "Well if someone walked by and saw this, it would look very poor." "I understand. I'm sorry."

If someone walked by the printer, picked up my printouts, didn't have the brain to see that it's clearly unfinished, and imagined we were about to send it out that way? NO ONE in the office, or a thousand other offices, would ever do that and get annoyed about it other than him. And that's because he's totally insane.

Seriously, if you hand this guy a mockup with dummy text, he will circle it and put a big red question mark next to it. Uh... YOU CRAZY OLD TURD, IT'S DUMMY TEXT. HOW ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT AGAIN?
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Tell him to fuck off and let you do your work.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Oh why didn't I think of that?
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

I'm full of great ideas like that.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:00 (nineteen years ago)
