Wait, GZA is not the same person as Ghostface.

SHIT

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 27 February 2006 20:58 (twenty years ago)

Also, I spelled Genius wrong. I should leave the hipping and hopping to the people who know what they're talking about.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 27 February 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Last Days of Disco is pretty good. Is that really what it's like working in the NYC book industry, Laurel?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Not in the slightest.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

So, now Indian food is ON?

I hope Nick feels well enough to go, because that sounds yum to me. OTOH, he generally dislikes Indian food.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:25 (twenty years ago)

B-b-but he lived in India!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

Or maybe that's a classic "despite the fact, or perhaps because of it" thing for him.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

uh huh But I've played a part in making him become more tolerant of Indian food, so maybe..

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

I could go for some Indian food. For some reason I never like it as much as takeout, though.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:33 (twenty years ago)

(not that it stops me from getting Indian takeout, of course)

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

I love spicy food therefore indian = best food ever to me. Devon ave and western = my idea of (eating) heaven, except for the whole far-north-west-side-not-being-near-the-el thing.

I can't remember the name of the Vietnamese place that Jeff mentioned in the old thread, but if it was Hai Yen I went there the other night and it was bad ass. Ironically, right below their veg menu is "7 Courses of Beef" and the vastly inferior "5 Courses of Beef."

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:46 (twenty years ago)

I haven't been there but I was just talking about it this weekend! Did you the the 7-spot? Looks tasty.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

So, 7pm? Where?

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:53 (twenty years ago)

That place on Lincoln is good! We order there from work sometimes

― gbx (skowly), Monday, 27 February 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

No, I got the Red Snapper (very tasty.) My housemate had gotten the 7 courses before, and said it was insane... Brought out by a procession of waiters all at once, he didn't know where to start!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:14 (twenty years ago)

We also got parts of the 7 courses as appetizers and they were very very good. Vietnamese is my new favorite.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm definitely going there this week sometime.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm also itching for more german:

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:19 (twenty years ago)

This pro-Guffman, anti-Tap madness is madness.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:20 (twenty years ago)

I quote Guffman at least a couple times a week.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:22 (twenty years ago)

So who is Indianing? Jenny, Jesse, Chris P?

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:23 (twenty years ago)

Yes, can you come?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

If you are meeting at 7, I'll go, then I can come right from work and be home before 8:30.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. Nick and I are up for it. We just need to know where to go.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Someplace on Devon I imagine?
We've only been to one - Hema's, I think it was called - so I'd like to try a different one this time.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Cool, Jeff.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

Corner of Lincoln and Wilson. In Lincoln Square. Essence of India.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

(Not that I'll be there, but trying to be helpful.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

Unless it's far away, I couldn't even get up to Devon in an hour.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

And yes, at 7.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Brown Line, bitchez.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

So, I'm guessing that place is good, John? Sorry if you already said so before.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

What Indian place could you get to that you like, Jeff?

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

The one in lincoln square is fine, I Can get there quick.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:31 (twenty years ago)

Ok. We'll be there at 7pm. Please call us on one our cells if the plans change.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:32 (twenty years ago)

I've never been there. But Jesse said it was good. Am I wrong, though? Is that not where you guys were planning on going?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:33 (twenty years ago)

You guys are meeting there at 7pm? If, for whatever reason, I'm kept late at work, I might join you.

― gbx (skowly), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:34 (twenty years ago)

That is the place we are going.

I hope you are kept late at work, then.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:39 (twenty years ago)

Guffman sucks!

― Cousin yogurt beard (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Adam, I realized a long time ago that you hate everything I love. 'S cool.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 22:58 (twenty years ago)

I love beards.

― Cousin yogurt beard (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:00 (twenty years ago)

Do you still have one? I'd love to see it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Yes I have one. You'll get your chance.

― Geological fondue (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:07 (twenty years ago)

Adam, when I finally meet you, we will not watch Guffman together.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Great!

― Geological fondue (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Just to clarify:

Indian Food at 7 pm at Essence of India on the corner of Lincoln and Wilson in Lincoln Square of the Western Brown Line stop.

Be there!

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:13 (twenty years ago)

A regular day at Worker Justice, Inc...

Jesse asks if he can help me with anything. I say that he can write a letter to one of my workers about an EEOC mediation in progress. This is what Jesse writes:

I hope this letter finds you well. I can only imagine the ravages the stress must be taking on your handsome chest. Know that I am here to ensure that the pressure does not affect your virility; I will be a harbor for you to bury your pain when you need it I am always there to embrace you with my arms and my folds of feminity.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:27 (twenty years ago)

Note: I did not mail this letter to the worker.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:28 (twenty years ago)

I also liked 28 days later.
Wait, was that the artsy one where the zombies could run? Because that's the one I'm talking about. Oh yeah, the one with Cillian.
I thought he was funny in Red Eye.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:20 (twenty years ago)

William Shatner was in several TZ episodes. Like the one with the fortune telling thingie in the diner? That one's great.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

Magnolia was satisfying because it was fantastical. Rather than skillfully playing the line, Crash seemed to want to have its feet firmly planted on both sides--realism and pure imagination.

Also, Object Lesson from Crash:

Every race is jerky--White, Black, Persian--every race except Latinos who are hard-working, reasonable, helpful, family-oriented, loyal and friendly.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh,I forgot about Asians, too

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Also, Latinos are hot.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:24 (twenty years ago)

Chris.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:30 (twenty years ago)

Crash: Worst movie ever, or worst film ever?

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

Are you going to be in contact while on your trip, Chris?

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:32 (twenty years ago)

Apparently I have cell coverage in random places in Montana, but less so in random places in North Dakota.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Chris, I'm going to be in town this weekend, so just stay for a few more days, k?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I was able to do my now-traditional calling of friends to announce to them that I was in Minot, though! But I think on the way back the Minot stop might be at an awkward hour.

Jordan, I would but I have a show on Saturday and a cat that thinks I've abandoned her and I am tired of sleeping on a sliver of my ex's bed. But I am sure I'll be back and I would love to visit Madison.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:37 (twenty years ago)

sorry i didn't get to meet ya!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Me too.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Also this is where I extend a hearty invitation for everyone to visit me in Portland. I have a futon you can crash on and I will bake for you.

Also this is where I thank everyone I met for meeting me and say that I had a lot of fun and think you are all Quality People. And I am sorry that I didn't quite get to meet some of you. I'm sure I'll be back at some point, though, possibly in the summer.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:41 (twenty years ago)

New thread title -- "Chicago: Quality People"

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

It was good to meet you, Chris. Thanks for crashing that weird party with us!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

This is where I insert a montage of all the fun times we had.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:48 (twenty years ago)

"We'll meet again / Don't know where, don't know when..."

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:53 (twenty years ago)

We really do need a new thread, though. I was on last night without logging in and, whew.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:53 (twenty years ago)

Got it, sire.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:54 (twenty years ago)

Thank you. I'm fresh out of fun.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Amateur tagger alert.

New thread.

Chicago: Ordinary People

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Ooh ooh! I posted the link as a link and it converted it to the thread title - nifty.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:57 (twenty years ago)

Is "Quality People" a running joke?
