One thing I love about that sketch is how obvious it is that it came out of improvisation.

I'm a sucker for the sketches that are basically about Bruce McCullough being weird, like all the Gavin sketches.

I know, I just wanted to post that. :)

All I'm doing now is watching Kids in the Hall.

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I remember some KitH thing that was kind of an MTV parody, it was about a new dance or style or something...it was probably the most dated thing they ever did, but awesomely so.

Jordan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link

All I ever do is watch Kids in the Hall.

Goddamn, that lazy zing thread. It's a cancer.

srsly, but it's like lung cancer. It's my own damn fault for having it. :(

Regrets, I've had a few.

kenan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link

OTM.

jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Who is coming with me and Dan to ThTh tonight?

jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Where is Thirsty THursday?

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I probably shouldn't.

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:47 (sixteen years ago) link

In your MIND.

No, it is here.

jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Eeeeeh ... maybe next week.

jaymc, has there been a proper salad dressing poll on ILE?

Jordan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Not that I recall. That'd be a good one, though!

jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:01 (sixteen years ago) link

done

Jordan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link

Hi. I'm eating salad.

Jesse, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link

I love that dressing.

Jesse, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link

colette, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link

three and a half stars? WHY BOTHER?

rooftop bar!

dan m, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link

colette, how long have you been looking? and what are you looking for, again?

sisut, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Colette it took me three (3) months to find a full-time job, and that was a pretty shitty full-time job.

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Colette, email me at naamme @ yahoo dot com. I don't think I have your email.

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey just in case people are still looking for bikes, I saw this place written up in Chicago Weekly, sounds like a great shop:

dan m, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Actually that whole issue was pretty great. They cataloged the "best of the south side". That record store in Beverly made it, along with Salonica and a bunch of other places that have been mentioned on Chi threads gone by.

dan m, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Never mind colette, I found your email, Sarah had sent it to me a while back.

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link

i guess i first started seriously looking the beginning of august. i'm not even getting calls back from temp agencies (i'm registered with new 0ffice but in that time have had 6 days of work). i know it's a slow process, but man it's depressing!

sisut, i have a masters degree in nonprofit management. i've been applying for communications posts and events planning and some grantwriting. plus general admin assistant roles, working in shops, etc. bleh.

colette, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link

2x what n/a said...it took me about 3 months of looking. I'm in non-profit fundraising/development so let me know where you've been looking and I'll keep an eye out, too. I know Teen Living Programs was looking for a grantwriter a while back, but I think they've filled it. Go ahead and email me at katie @ lacasanorte dot org

From the AV Club interview with Uwe Boll: "...Dave foley really went for it. He event went for a full-frontal nudity scene, which was surprising for me also. I was sitting behind my video desk and couldn't believe it! He did it without telling me. He was supposed to get up from his bed and close his bathrobe, but he didn't close it. We were all sitting there laughing our ass off. He played it super-cool. It's those kinds of offensive scenes that make Postal special, because it's harsher than what we're used to from even the Farrelly brothers' comedies. It's like one step more than even Borat. Postal is like Borat without the black bars."

Dilbert is unusually emo today:

Remember when I was talking about how the word "breaststroke" had give straight consonants? Well, so does "postscript." I wonder if there are any others.

jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

I seem to remember that "bookkeeper" is the only word with three straight sets of double letters. Is that right?

n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Wow, the rest of that Uwe Boll interview is gold.

Jordan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I think so, Nick.

This city assessor is visiting our building and just gave me his card. He has J0hn's name!

KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 18:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't you know that English is the only language that counts, Katie?
