TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

& hello!

Oooh, the mall sounds fun.

Hello wilter! Car troubles do suck...

DAN AND JOHN - I didn't buy many books for myself at the booksale (a cookie cookbook, some book about nurses... a bunch of books for the kids). BUT - I saw this woman who looked really familiar. At first I couldn't figure out who it was, but then it hit me: I was pretty sure it was K8 J0hns0n's mom. Which it was! I talked to her for a few minutes. K8's two kids are R0nan (age 4) and 4id4ir (age 1 1/2). And she's an actuary (surprise). And that's it for my random HSTNGS details for the night.

i have car troubles (and no-internet troubles...) too: my car won't shift out of park unless i jam a pencil into the gear-box, in just such a wiggly and interesting way.

man total pwnage. so my roommate got home and said he would let germans in and i ran off to go to the opera but when i got there all rush tix were gone and only $275 ones were available. so close! ;_;

!

DAMN

lol my gf asked me 'who is that girl writing all that shit about vegemite on your facebook wall?'

ha ha ha, PRICELESS.

We should all follow suit.

estela, is your real name honey? because ur sweet.

^^this fucking guy

good night I am going to sleep this virus off tonight if it is the last thing I do bump

lingbert, is your real name stanley knife? because i think ur being disingenuous and it cuts me to the quick.

I really like the name estela. I have added it to the potential names for potential baby one day perhaps list. Also Lingbert.

I claim jergins and HI DERE.

maybe king boy pato as well.

Nick is a good solid name. One of my colleagues is one her 4th Nick is a row, I think?

I mean in boyfriend terms, not as children's names. That would be a bit too George Foreman.

BOO!

estela i don't think lingbert will get the stanley knife reference because they call them something else dumb in the US i think?

box cutters i believe.

mark, are you asking me to be your boyfriend?

no it's more like 'craft knife' or some shit.

nuh huh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_cutter

or perhaps that means we are both right?

No, we also say Stanley knife in America, the boxcutter thing is a post-9/11 description.

interesting. Indeed I don't think I'd heard the term 'boxcutter' before 9/11. Maybe it was used to protect the Stanley company against reprisals?

i associate 'boxcutter' with 9/11, and ryder trucks with timothy mcveigh.

Nick, I am not said colleague. I hear you're cute though.

i heard nick's got a cute single sister...

Who says I'm looking :)

okay, i'll date said colleague and you can have my sister.

i didn't say anything... just that nick has a sister who is single and also cute. that's all ;)

since i never look at it, i just assume that the primary thread is rising up the charts because a bunch of people are just posting "WELL NO NEWS HERE" over and over in succession

Basically, you're right.

Only with extra "I WOULD LIKE TO KILL HILLARY CLINTON WITH MY DICK" subtext.

hahahahaha ewwwwwww oh no

Okay, I did not want to wake up to that as a sentiment.

hoping to study while listening to jessie's radio show bump

the store i worked at in 1996 used boxcutters. definitely not a 9/11 term.

yep. called them boxcutters forever, but have also heard stanley knife used.

oh this scramble thing you crazy kids have been talking about is sure to be a timesuck. also, thanks to sara and hi dere for reminding me that i am dumbbbbbbbbb by kicking the crap out of me on it.

i was getting uppity

John, you are not dumb. I suck at it, too. I have just practiced for a couple weeks more than you have. (I'm struggling not to add, "...so buck up, little camper...")

I have never heard "stanley knife," always "boxcutters," so I guess I have lived under a rock or something.

Also, John, are you really going to give Quimby a bath? Because my cat needs a bath, too, but you don't see me committing suicide in that way.

being back in the office so weird and uncool

So, let me ask the good denizens of ITR a question:

WHO IS THE MOTHERFUCKIN' MAN?

(hint: it's me because I just stopped a $XXX,XXX customer from walking out of the door by fixing shit in two weeks that the people who wrote this couldn't fix in 6 months)

awesome, dan!

Sara, I can give you cath bathing hints if you like, there are a couple of tricks that seem to work.

because when it comes to cat bathing I AM THE MOTHERFUCKIN' MAN

we all have our specialties

Dan, you rock.

John, I am in awe.*

*not being sarcastic for once

step one: hit the kitty in the head with a ball peen hammer
