We're going to talk about basketball in labor law today. I wonder if there's any way I can bring up this photo...

xpost: A parasitic donger! Gross!

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

Something similar happened to one of my friends in high school - he had gone to visit his girlfriend's family and they took a photo of him and a her and a few others siiting on a living room couch, and he was wearing shorts and no drawers, and...

Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

the word "donger" is inherently funny somehow.

it was on the front page of some paper before anyone noticed what they say is just an optical illusion with something about the photography and the light and whatever. still, amusing.

diphallic terata

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I certainly hope that's an optical illusion, from an anatomical standpoint.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:25 (twenty years ago)

Extremely amusing, especially if taken in conjunction with the look on his face, which is just screaming out, "OH MY GOD MY DICK IS FLOPPING OUT OF MY SHORTS."

Speaking of phallic things, I smell sausage and it's making me very hungry.

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:25 (twenty years ago)

amanda, are you not feeling well?

Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

(the key to the most hilariously awkward Trivial Pursuit question ever read aloud in a high school classroom - What does a man with "diphallic terata" have two of?) xxxpost

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

xpost - No, not really feeling so well. I slept terribly on account of a monster headache and now the medicine I took is making me nauseous. Or the residual headache (underneath the medicine) is making me barfy. Has anyone else taken Imitr3x? Shit is WAY too expensive. My doc gave me a sample and it made the headache go away but now I think I might puke.
Hey Kels - look at my flickr page for an awesome facial mask photo. Hottness.

that's kinda like the genius guy from funnyfascinating episode of "first person" (the who wants to be a millionaire one--last disc--omg).

he was a really smart little kid and at the age of 4 was reading magazines in the barber shop one day, and asked loudly what "premature ejaculation" was.

xp ugh really bad headaches suck.

Juulia (julesbdules), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:33 (twenty years ago)

They sure do. Especially ones with barfy undertones. I hope you feel better, A! And fast!

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:37 (twenty years ago)

Thanks y'all. 2006 has been unusually sickly for me. Does anyone else get crippling headaches?

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

Sorry about the headaches!

The facial mask picture is 2006's new pornography. That shit if fo' real, dude. LOVE the 40-year-old virgin shirt. Love the orange.

Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:43 (twenty years ago)

No crippling headaches. Acid reflux and joint problems are my chronic health crosses to bear. I will actually take them both over crippling headaches - gladly. Non-crippling headaches are bad enough. I have a lot of sympathy.

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Amanda, my dad gets pretty regular migraines, and I think I've gotten a couple in the past. The weirdest part is that (in his case at least) they appear to be totally "naturally" occuring. He's had MRIs, CT scans, all that shit, and nothing is wrong with his head. Well, physically at least.

Ususally the best cure was to sit in a dark room and try to fall asleep. He also used to smoke a lot of weed, and that probably helped too.

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone else get crippling headaches?

i get really bad headaches where i get all sound and light sensitive and i just want to curl up in a ball and die. i get all sorts of headaches actually--i feel like i should have names for the different ones, but they all just end up being OW OW OW FUCK THIS.

my doc suggested nasal spray in case some of them were sinus headaches, but it seems to cause headaches rather than help/prevent them. my brane is broken.

Juulia (julesbdules), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, this has been bugging me for a few days.

SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT

When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it’s one more beer and I don’t hear you anymore
We’ve all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn’t you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You’re a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It’s four o’clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I’m sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music’s still alive

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your h.p. demands forever
They’re coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Thank you, Elton and Bernie. And that dude at the show who got this song stuck in my head. Thank you most of all.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:55 (twenty years ago)

I seriously thought I was having an aneurysm or something. Thanks for the tips -- Imitr3x is making me really nauseous, so I'm going to stick with the other pills I have. These headaches are so rotten that they wake me up in the middle of the night and creep into my dream, if I manage to fall asleep. This one was named Dang Junsten.

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Looking over those lyrics, that seems like a pretty dickish song.

My family is prone to migraines, and I am very happy that it doesn't seem to have been passed on to me. Eep.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

BTW - my dad has also been on a shitload of migraine/headache meds (not sure about Imitr3x, tho.) He says the "cure" is often worse than the problem, so he only takes them when very necessary.

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:00 (twenty years ago)

i have various narcotics and crazy pain killers around but i'm afraid to take them. drug side effects can be really horrible, so i only take tylenol pm at night, or ibuprofen during the day. they don't necessarily work well, but sometimes they dull things a bit.

Juulia (julesbdules), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

On a completely non-headache related note: W|ilderness is a pretty awesome band, and they are playing the Bottle on the 16th, and everyone should go. The end.

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:09 (twenty years ago)

Note to self: g00gle-proofing is pointless if you just add another character before the one you intend to replace

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:10 (twenty years ago)

Amanda, can you elucidate your "John:high heels::Amanda:Oscars" analogy? You don't find the Oscars attractive but love high heels, whereas I don't find high heels attractive but love the Oscars? Or is there more nuance to it than that?

You know, the more I think about it, the more Brokeback losing really upsets me, not just because it was the superior film to Crash, but because this was so Brokeback's year. And not just that it won so many precursor awards (I think the Chicago Film Critics were the only ones to give Crash their Best Picture award -- also, I guess, the Screen Actors Guild, if the Ensemble prize counts). But it was also a HUGE cultural phenomenon, and the Oscar would've underscored that nicely. What I'm disturbed by is the possibility that Brokeback lost because of homophobia -- which seems like it'd be unlikely in Hollywood, but I'm not sure what else explains it.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

It was overhyped. Everyone roots for the underdog.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:19 (twenty years ago)

Not at the Oscars, though! I mean, the last time the underdog won Best Picture was Shakespeare in Love in 1998 -- and in that case, it had the momentum of having been released at the end of the year, whereas Saving Private Ryan was a summer film. What's weird about Brokeback losing is that it lost to a movie that was released last spring and that no one was really even talking about until it started getting some recent awards buzz.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:22 (twenty years ago)

Strange days have found us.

Shiny Maroon (kenan), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Good, I'm glad you made it home.

Unfortunately, I have very little nuance to offer. You think heels are overrated, boring, predictable and stupid. (Right?) That's how I feel about the Oscars. Booooooring to watch people congratulate themselves.

HOWEVER, I enjoyed staring at Michelle Williams and her mustard-colored dress for couple of seconds. She looked lovely.

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:45 (twenty years ago)

Crash was the only nominee I've seen, and while there were things I liked about it, it doesn't seem like a "best picture". Or maybe it does.

It seemed weird that the same five movies were up for everything, esp. Walk the Line and Geisha (which I don't think anyone actually saw?).

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:46 (twenty years ago)

i did the unbelievable saturday night, i paid $10 for a pack of smokes at the hideout. TEN DOLLARS. that works out to $.50 per smoke. that is insane.

otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:46 (twenty years ago)

OMG We're like SISTERS!!!!!!!1111one

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Goody! I always wanted a sister.

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:48 (twenty years ago)

No, I just don't find them attractive: they're too indicative of the artifice of womanliness.

I like the Oscars because I like cultural phenomena. And statistics. And making fun of celebrities.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:49 (twenty years ago)

Oh, ok - well I guess it was a bad analogy then. Sorey.

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

And get this- someone cleaned out the fridge and threw my soup away! The soup I was going to eat for lunch today. Boo!

The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

The Oscars are pretty indicative of the "artifice of womanliness".

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Why don't we say that about men? Artifice of manliness?

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:03 (twenty years ago)

I tend to find the Oscars boring and predictible and infuriating, too, but I watched the entire ceremony last night (maybe for the first time ever) in part, I think, becuase I really wanted to go to N&S's and was upset that I had work to do instead. (Yes, I watched while reading for class. No, that's neither a good way to watch TV nor to prepare for class.) I generally enjoyed it, even though I covered my ears for some of the speeches since I got embarassed for the people.

Also, what was up with all the anti-DVD talk? Was that all about Steven Soderbergh?

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:08 (twenty years ago)

I scrolled down too fast and thought I saw that guy's moustache twitching.

We can talk about the artifice of manliness, if you want. I think it exists, although maybe in less obvious ways, since so much female artifice has to do with clothes and makeup.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:11 (twenty years ago)

I think we should define terms before we discuss, just to make sure we're all on the same page. Are artifices of gender things we wear/display to announce and reinforce our gender, based on societal concepts man/woman?

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:15 (twenty years ago)

I SAID "MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE."

My life is a lie.

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

I usually wear pants. When I'm not wearing pants, chances are I'm in my bathrobe or asleep.

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

OR GETTIN' IT ON

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

STRAIGHT NOGGIN' IT

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin about

Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

I felt horrible for Lauren Bacall. She is so beautiful and smart.. but didn't wear her glasses! Come on, woman! Be strong! Glasses are beautiful too!

Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

Is that what her problem was? I felt bad for her, too. She is one of my favorite "classic" actresses. I thought she was just old and shaky.

Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:26 (twenty years ago)

I felt bad for the woman (don't know who she was, some "normal" woman who won for screenwriting or tech or something) who had a big lipstick smooch on her face, and then got cut off right when she started to speak. It was her big moment and she was probably all embarassed when she saw the tape.
