Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

Ha ha, John, I was thinking about it the other way around.

Oh shit, if vandalized means run-of-the-mill bathroom-stall graffiti, then I need to add that to my tab, too.

(I had this thing in college where I'd leave nonsense poetry in bathroom stalls and then come back to see how people responded.)

grand totals for this manuscript:

2 Dings
3 Fengs
2 Hes
2 Hus
2 Huangs
2 Lis
2 Lus
2 Saitos
5 Wangs
and 6 Zhangs

...plus many other non-duplicates

Nick, when has a discussion about race ever been a big deal?

I wrote something on the wall of the Green Mill men's bathroom once, something funny-ish, but I have no idea what it was (drunk).

The graffiti in the women's bathroom at the Bottle is pretty funny, all melodramatic stuff about dating boys in bands, breaking up, and then seeing them on stage again, and how small the Chicago scene is.

^^^Eazy, if this was your Green Mill graf then you are my hero 4 life

From that Craigslist racism essay:

But do they speak English?: “Ideally you are sexy and fun and speak good English.” [It’s too bad this guy can’t. If he did, he’s know that his sentence was technically not written in proper English. A run-on sentence + lack of adverb use does not a good sentence make!]

I don't see what's wrong with that sentence at all. It's not a run-on. And "speak English well" is maybe more proper-sounding than "speak good English," but I think the latter is an accepted colloquialism. I'd maybe put a comma after "ideally," but that's quibbling.

Does she think it's a run-on because it uses "and" twice? I don't know how you would write it any other way: the first one connects "sexy" and "fun," while the second connects "are" and "speak." It's not a serial list. (Not that that would make it a run-on, either. There's only one subject here.)

pwned

(I realize I'm the only one who cares about this.)

the library bathrooms in Montana had chalkboards in them!

OH MY GOD!

I'm sorry.

I wish I weren't here.

On this earth.

I think the essay writer was being pedantic so they could make an easy snarky attack.

I know, Nick, but it sort of falls flat when you're just plain wrong.

Compared to the other stuff I read on the Internet (political blogs), things aren't very pedantic at all around here. Most other forums I read are like Bill O'Reilly transcripts in terms of conversation.

Jordan - wasn't mine, alas.

It's official, inarguable: office hangover sucks worst.

I've said it before, and I just said it again, and I'll say it again later.

hey peepz, I'm working at a better job now where I can actually use the internet. I'm just checking in to see if I'm the only one going to see ESG tonight. This is going to be the JAM! Someone else must be going, right?

Oh, I agree with you, John. I thought saying "pedantic" and "easy" and "snarky" made it clear that I though this person was taking cheap shots. I mean, it's not great English but it's the Internet, so who cares. Also, even if the sentence is poorly constructed, he said he's looking for someone who can "speak good English," not necessarily write proper English, so even the thought behind the criticism is valid if we're going to be all pedantic about everything.

Not me! I will be at BondeDo Role.

fair enough, that should be good. they were supposed to play earlier in the year in chapel hill but had to cancel.

It's official, inarguable: office hangover sucks worst.

I've always suspected this, thank you for confirming.

ESG and Bahamadia too.

Wow, here are two people I've been told I resemble in the same photo (Morrow's looking less scruffy than he used to):

Hi.

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/the_40_year_old_virgin/_group_photos/david_krumholtz27.jpg

I don't look like Steve Carell.

There's only a couple other people here today, so now I'm listening to my i-tunes.
I got no lips I got no tongue!

Wow, I wondered if Joel Fleischman was dead. He looks less dorky than he did in the 90s, but don't we all.

Who's the other guy? He was in the Ice Storm, right?

Oh, I guess they're both on some TV show called Numb3rs?

Rob Morrow looks more like me here:

His hair could learn a thing or two from yours though.

you think bonde do role will sell out?

IMdB tells me he was in The Ice Storm, but I don't remember him. I was going to say, though, if he wasn't in The Ice Storm, he should've been.

He also played Neal's older brother in Freaks and Geeks and Natasha Lyonne's brother in Slums of Beverly Hills.

xp David Krumholtz is his name.

Wow, remember when Janine Turner was famous enough to co-star in a Sylvester Stallone thriller?

So, interesting that David Chase produced both Northern Exposure and The Sopranos, two shows with entire casts that may never be seen again.

John Corbett seems to get work.

JXXXXXX: not trickin'
except for the guy who called me a fucking highschooler at the girl talk concert
and then when i was a bitch to him asked me if i wanted to make out
seriously, you fucking guys
me: AHAHAHAHAHA
whatever it takes

What makes this day worst is that all around me I see couches.

I'm gonna lie down I think.

Yes. I think I may.

COUCHES RULE EVERYTHING AROUND ME

In the Ice Storm he was Peter Parker's college roommate, the dude who would bang all the girls he liked (incl. Katie Holmes) and who Spiderman tried to drug.

Oh yeah.

Is being straight fun?

Krumholtz seems to think so.
