FAVORITE MINNEAPOLIS PLACES TO EAT in my limited experience:

--Maria's Cafe

--Lotus

--that Mexican place way out somewhere with the salsa bar and 13 kinds of meat

--that convenience store with the food counter that serves late-night gyros (maybe that was Ali Baba?)

--Falafel King

--Triple Rock

--Galactic Pizza even though I haven't actually had it yet

Moskowitz on anorexia:

Yeah, I know that we're all supposed to feel really bad for anorexics. After all, they're just vulnerable innocents thumbing through Vogue, clicking past the Daily Burn, when suddenly corporate capitalism -- with its slimy strategies of exploiting never-fulfillable consumer desire -- forces them to starve themselves to incapacity or death. Now hear this: If you're going to kill or thoroughly disable yourself because your ass is bigger than Kate Moss's or your arms are flabbier than Naomi Campbell's, you are a moron no more deserving of social pity than snowmobilers who drive drunk into trees.

Oy, JMZ, don't put pictures of Jess in this thread, I'll never go home. DELICIOUS EYEBROWS OF EVIL.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

galactice = galactic, obviously. tater had a typo.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

Uh, does anybody have a car for sale? I need one.

I think I'll take "broken image link"

Dan's got a good list there!

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

Aw tanks, Kels. That shot makes my nose look funny but I mostly kept it for the shirt, which is new and my pride & joy.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

Outside the rehearsal space last night, some dude tried to give away a van 'cause it has a flat tire!

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

IMDB doesn't like hotlinking. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

cute picture on the april thread, laurel. i just saw it.

Yeah, no kidding. Not "cute," so much as really cool. Most of the other pictures I've seen of you made you look kinda wee and twee, but that one has shoulders and personality.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

ooh! the triple rock has veggie hot wings!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

And vegan White Russians, apparently!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Laurel, what's that green tube in the background?

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Kenan, are you talking about the Laurpile photo? Cos I just put up a different one yesterday, in the same thread.

Hand lotion, EZ, really smelly stuff.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

The one in the green shirt.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Wow, there's a dude in the office who work standing up.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Funny. One day I will meet Chicago and all will be revealed (I am neither wee nor twee).

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

I am.

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:39 (twenty years ago)

works

Seriously, he's got his desk on cement blocks and his monitor jacked up and everything. He's a REVOLUTIONARY.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:40 (twenty years ago)

Maybe he has a pinched nerve in his ass?

(I've got a friend who has this & can't sit down for long periods of time.)

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Oh man, I hope that never happens to me, or else THIS will happen:

or he could just lay down all the time (i have much experience with this), but that's kinda problematic.

Designed by Laura Park, whom I believe is the same woman that did the illustrations and lettering for Edith's album, yeah?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Yep. Her Flickr account is like getting to look through an R. Crumb sketchbook:

Sycamore/Gaper's Block connection

And to name drop (I guess) -- Sammy is my friend who just moved to Chicago.

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:47 (twenty years ago)

Still at work! Dear Lord.

Ha! Eric totally made it into Laura's Moleskine sketches!!

I know a dude like that. He works about 16 hours a day.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Speaking of work, Dan, the Press is probably my number one source for potential employment at the moment. Do you work in Journals or Books?

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 03:39 (twenty years ago)

I know a dude like that. He works about 16 hours a day.

He should be a waiter.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 03:56 (twenty years ago)

chicken is very flavorful if you eat all the good parts like dark meat, skin and fat.

My high-school friend Adam, whom I have Googled perhaps more than anyone in an effort to find out what he's up to (unsuccessfully, I should add), has found me on MySpace. Sweet. Apparently he's married, which is only funny because we always thought he was in the closet.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:38 (twenty years ago)

Attention Dan Martin

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:40 (twenty years ago)

Un poxy fuled.

THANK YOU, JESUS.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 20:08 (twenty years ago)

Criminy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

You'd think I would have gotten a lot of work done today, what with the poxyfuling... that would be incorrect.

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

I did, surprisingly. Not surprisingly, I am still fixated on the woman who rudely rested her newspaper on my head this morning on the train.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

I did until the printer went low on toner, and I am using that as an excuse to not do any more work, since it's not like I've tried to fix it or alerted anyone or anything.
