Do you have a bald British dude crush, Laurel?

#1 crankiest profession is surely chef, no?

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

they're cutting the grass on campus for the first time this year. i stood in the middle of the quad and just breathed deep for a while after i finished my cigarette. made me feel pretty good.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

I have a Jason Statham crush, which I assume is what you meant. That movie sucked, though, even by my standards.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

dammit, i really want to go out tonight but am broke broke BRO-EK.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

I don't blame you, he makes bald & stubbly work for him like many men only dream about.

I actually thought the movie was a pretty good time, but then again I saw it on the day my ex moved out and I spent all day in the theater.

I am listening to fake fictions, and I think I like this band. Have you heard of them?

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

where did i read that the bald-dude look was the combover for the new millenium? because that's fairly otm.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

nah, because the bald dude look isn't nearly as hilarious.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

but it is though, that's kinda the point.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

if you are going bald, esp at a young-ish age, it is the only dignified way to deal with it.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

:(

(I say this as a future bald man)

god you people....

You could always go the Mr. Hooper route, I suppose.

That would have potentially put me in the hospital. The breathing deep of the cut grass, not so much the cigarette.

where did i read that the bald-dude look was the combover for the new millenium? because that's fairly otm.

I have said that often, possibly on ILX, but I did not come up with it myself.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

dudes i need a hobby.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

one that doesn't involve pouring beer and/or gin down my gullett.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

The difference is that I do not love the combover.

Kevin: Whittling. Will keep your hands busy.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I could show you how to crochet. It's very soothing.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I need more toys in my home to keep my hands busy. Like, a Rubik's Cube and such.

Kevin, I didn't even know you played guitar, so that's something.

This thread is killing me http://www.ilxor.com:8080/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=60&threadid=5847#unread

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

There's a guy I work with who has a really sad combover. It sort of epitomizes everything that I find depressing about him: he's been working for the company for 25 years and only got promoted to supervisor (i.e., a non-hourly position) like two years ago. He also talks very slowly and deliberately.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

Knitting/crochet is brilliant for giving you something to do with your hands, plus hats for everybody!

I'm going to learn how to knit one of these days soon. I'm kind of excited about it.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

i just remembered what i wanted to investigate and i just looked into it but it's not really a hobby.

xpost- knitting would either be really awesome or i'd drive myself absolutely insane.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

omg giant isopods now have a permanent place in my nightmares.

xp to Kevin - yeah, there's an element of obsession to it at times that is both scary and comforting. Like, "Wow, I sure am kind of obsessive almost to the point of mania about this, but it's yarn! Yarn is benign and wonderful!"

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

ooh! The bunny!

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

jenny it's more along the lines that if it isn't something i totally love i'll wind up getting really frustrated. but then i still have this compulsion to finish something when i start it so i wind up just compounding my frustrations.

god i wish the weekend were here. NEED DRINKS ASAP.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

Your new hobby has arrived:

Best idea ever!

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

GET A DOG AND KNIT A SWEATER FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

Building mailboxes for dogs!

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

OMG THAT DOG

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

check out that little mailbox man's cheeks. they're plump.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

Breed dogs for mailboxes!

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

i have been resisting getting a dog because with each passing weekend it's more obvious that i can barely take care of myself. i was supposed to go out to san diego july 3-8 to see my dog and whats her name but now that is up in the air and i'm all ;_; because i was really getting excited to see my little man.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think having a young man to take care of will help you substantially in taking care of yourself. You will have no choice because you would never ever let that tiny man down.

Dog has seen better days.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

i did look after my upstairs neighbor's dog and his sister (the dog of a mutual friend of ours) last sunday, it was fun having them out in the back yard playing fetch and crap like that.

xpost- can't take that chance. ;_;

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know about that Amanda, that's one step away from having children because yr lonely/bored.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

This is why I have cats. Cats are not hobbies, though. They are... objects.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

Cats are bros.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

But I think Kevin would be a good dog dad. Also, the weather is about to be wonderful tous les temps, so you can take him with you to sit out on bar patios and back decks and parks...

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'd get one but it's a big no-no for our apartment and Jonesy would be PISSED. Before too awful long I will have one, though. Either a beagle or a little mutt dog, I don't really care about breeds as long as the thing's hair is short.

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

xp - Eh, not necessarily. There are lots of loving animals out there who need homes. If it helps you and it helps the animal, no one gets hurt and everyone is cared for the end. I mean, it worked for me. 9 years later, I'm taking better care of myself and I have an old cocker spaniel who knew me when.

ps i am allergic to cats and i met my dog at a party, where someone asked, "do you want him?" and i impulsively said YES.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

also, i don't want to be a single father. i know it works for some people but not for me.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

Re: cats, I can get home on a Friday and be like "What is up, dog. I'm splitting for the weekend, y'all take care of the place for me, alright? Thx."

Kevin, if you got a wee dogster you could take him to the dog beach and we could all play with him!

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, I don't want to have to take an animal out to poop and have no one to shuffle that duty onto every now and again.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

i couldn't take him to the beach, dogs aren't allowed on the el or bus ;_;
