Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around? Celebrated GAY Summer 2012

"almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, surm -- but that does sound like placing an order to me.

Scottfree and I are maybe toying w the idea of visiting Miami for a day or two in mid/late October. Is Miami fun?

Also, "Southern Cross" by Crosby Stills Nash & Cetera is the best song of all songs.

I loathe CSN but it's tolerable.

Goddamit, why can't I just post in this box and have it go to the proper thread? Anyway, Stephen Stills' voice is the best of all the voices. But I'm getting ready to leave him check in with Janet, who I hate to like.

is Miami fun, he says. is Miami fun. of COURSE Miami is fun!!!

Miami, Miami ...

what is "leave him check in with" mean

and why don't you like to like Janet?? (wait Janet Jackson right?)

oh nevermind i got it. i got it!

God, I'm having problems posting. I've got a cold and I'm on a 1950s psych med to help me sleep. My shrink is way into the classics.

xp "leave him to check in with"

b/c she's vapid pop crap blah blah rockism something

xp yes

omg that's right i always forget ur a rockist

rockists and Golden Girls alike, you're welcome in Miami. Let's hit the beach.

surm, you're on gin detail.

but u know what, just to get this out there, i think that pop music -- it may masquerade as vapid, when a lot of it is really just a reflection of the dichotomy btw intense emotion and superficiality present in all of us. and as music in general often suggests, this tension is heightened by sexuality, which attempts to bridge the profound with the physical.

lately i've been doing gin fizz type things

It's also fun without being f.u.n.

so long as it's not 'fun.'

we are young

If I ever get to Miami it will be for a Marlins game and the beach will be the Forbidden Zone.

aaaaand the new stadium is air conditioned!

omg that new fun. song is really not good

i don't even know what to call it really . . . . . . . . . . . it's like a mixture of Phish and something even worse

It makes me nostalgic for "We Are Young."

fun aren't any good but at least they have the good sense not to be tasteful, unlike Gotye.

I've never heard a FUN. song.

How do you do Miami in a day or two? I went there once to board cruise ship and all I remember is lots of powder-pink and seafoam green and zigzags (or maybe that's just my mind's construction of it) and I went to a diner and ordered a coke and they brought me a can w/ ice and I was like "what the fuck."

Though I do love hitting the beach in my new ridic beach outfit (which I think I posted upthread?)

How is it not possible that you haven't heard that fun. song? says me who heard Gotye for the first time today

i didn't hear it at all until a few weeks ago but i almost never listen to the radio (likewise i have heard "call me maybe" approx. three times ever)

I envy Owen from last summer - yesterday.

I haven't heard Gotye either; I keep thinking it's Goyte (as in "goiter")

I have heard "Call Me Maybe... much more than three times (ugh thx dad)

See I'm sure I've been someplace where Gotye has been playing, but it's a pretty inconspicuous song, esp. compared to fun. or CRJepsen. Both those songs are primed for maximum penetration, I hear them coming from passing cars, etc.

None of them was nearly as overplayed as "Empire state of mind", NYC, June 2010, hoa

(apologies for lousy grammar)

Miami is quite easily seen in a day or two cuz there's not much to se.

"M-I-A, another M-I, M-I-A-M-I spells Miami Beach."
"Girls."

Listening to the fun. and Goyte songs neither sound familiar though I'm sure I've been present when they've been playing like a million times

i like the Gotye song bc it makes me feel like it is something my dad and i would have listened to in the car together in 1987

if I got it right both times I went, one doesn't so much "do Miami" as "spend time sunbathing on South Beach and reclining in cabanas"

"M-I-A, another M-I, M-I-A-M-I spells Miami Beach."
"Girls."

ahahahahahahahahahaha

blanche has the best timing of any comedic actress ever

aaaaand the new stadium is air conditioned!

Baseball is meant to be played in the sunshine, you heathen; I'll target a night when the retractable roof figures to be open.

I've heard (parts of) "We Are Young" in bars/drugstores etc but never knew the band was called "Fun." stupid name.

I had TWO MRIs this morning, convinced this is sciatica whatever the cause. Right side of my ass occasionally twingeing on me in excruciating fashion. BEST SUMMER EVER

i'm sorry you are in pain, you should shower yourself with drinks and excess this wknd to make up for it

now I just need someone to bring them to my apartment. Pretty soon I will feel like buying a cane.

It's actually fun., I think, lower case. I saw them play a slick, pre-fame set in London in 2010, it was very slick and earnest and I distinctly thought "this band ain't going nowhere but back to America".

Poor precognition is par for the course for me, though, saw Nickelback in 2000 play to an empty bar in Toronto and thought "nope"

haha

^^^ fall thread title

Morbs, when do you get the results?

3 'business days'

The "roof" is lowered often, Morbs, so you can enjoy Miami humidity properly.

I'd love to hit a ball game with you, sarge, and lex.

well my travel fund is likely depleted for the calendar year. good luck getting us all there at the same time.

Win the powerball.
