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

Tastes bitchin' with a proper cup of tea with cream and sugar.

OMG en how does the Achewood hot sauce compare to my regular standby Tapatio?

It's a little hotter and a little more garlicky, I think. It's been awhile since I've had Tapatio, though.

Regardless of any actual difference, I swear Ray telling me to "...definitely eat some!" makes it tastier.

oooh, thanks for sharing that!

um yeah so a mutual friend just twittered that jon apparently broke his wrist riding his bike over the wburg bridge?! eeeeek poor dude :(

ouch; that isn't the most fun. :(

How do you crash crossing a bridge? Wonder if it was at one or other end? Poor Jon.

hey i'll pay one of you to break my wrist so i don't have to work between now and when i leave nz

um if this would get me out of my project i would be soooo into this. except, you know, i don't have health insurance so it would kinda suck.

well joy of joys you don't need health insurance in nz so it would be ok and i'd still get paid for all the work i wasn't doing for the next 6.5 weeks

also: in re to earlier posts - what is up with the deeznutz hate? apart from making fun of my luddite-ness, he seems ok to me. did i miss something? i know there was some big drama where he was super horrible to bell but he apparently it was a terrible terrible 'joke' that he's repeatedly apologised for. is there something else i'm missing? i can't keep up with all the ilx hate.

I think not knowing about aqua teen hunger force makes you more of a non-nerd rather than a luddite.

And yeah I'm only aware of the belllabs meltdown.

not just that, but my inability to find or dl free music on the interwebs. personally i happen to think i'm moderately proficient with interwebs stuff for someone who has only had access to it for the last 18months. and goddamnit, i fixed the complicated broken-sound problem on my computer awhile ago.

fucking japanese space shower tv is some magic unbreakable shit guys

lol i was just thinkig that

but since i doubt v v much that ilx is up in arms over deeznuts' ambiguous mockery of me, i figure something else must be going on. xpost

yeah what is up with that

maybe we need to do opposite to past endeavours and leave thread unattended for a great length of time to see how long before it breaks: waterboarding thread stylees?

hey wilter how was your birthday?

My birthday was ace. Went out on Sat night but i tripped over a kerb and rolled my ankle, bruised the shit out of my thigh, scraped my knee and that knee has also swollen up :D

But apart from that it was fun. GF made me an awes farmyard animals cake and there is a super retarded picture of me posing with it that I may post on wdyll at some point.

awww dude i hope you iced the shit out of that!

that really is an awes-sounding cake yr gf made, she's a keeper ;)

I didn't ice it or tend to my knee at all. why because iwas drunk.

lol that happened to me once -- i twisted ankle while drunk and didn't really pay much attention and then i had this weird tumor on it for a few weeks (it was all swollen and raised, but not black and blue... weirdest thing ever!)

ahhh lolcollege.

poor wilter, i hope it all gets better soon, i'm glad you had a mighty birthday and that your gf is <3.

i like deeznuts but i was annoyed with how he spoke to bell_labs because it sounded so misogynistic and i am sick of misogyny in the world, but i do think he has apologised sincerely and that it was no more than a terrible misfired joke. some of his jokes are pretty good but not that day. so as long as he doesn't do it again then i am fine with him.
but if he does do it again he will be dead to me.

imo it was too mean to forgive and i'm usually pretty forgiving

ruby be glad you can't/don't keep up on ilx scandals. so much of it is either petty or depressing

aw shit poor jon

jergz i am a retard: i was going to post yr postcard today but i had to go hide these GPP broadsides in some books at the bookstore near my work. so i'm in there, and it's kinda busy and i'm trying to surreptitiously pick up appropriate books and slide the poems in and i was kinda nervous about being 'questioned' by the staff and i think i accidentally slipped yr postcard in with one of the broadsides :/

sara: your dark orange peel chocolate is on the way! you should get it in about a week or two.

ps. jergz the dude made a super poor taste attempt at humour, it went horribly wrong, he didn't think it through, but he's been apologising all over the place.

i like jergins' approach even though it is sterner than mine. i have got a very high opinion of jergins, you have too i think, ruby, maybe jergins should move to nz, everyone would <3 him.

oooh posting things! i think i will do post cards for people who want them when school's out. it would be a fun project!

posting things is awesome. but i need to go back to the bookstore on my break and try to find that aberhart postcard. goddamnit.

i do indeed have a very high opinion of jergz but i am generally pretty forgiving of ppl - except the occasional situation in which i get extremely extremely stubborn and hold a grudge (but this is rare).

i will do more posting of things once i'm in the US - it's so freakin expensive to post stuff from nz

Yes post stuff from the US to Australia for estela and I plz

i think stamps go up here tomorrow :(

also i think i am finally done with spreadsheets but that's kind of not good cause now i'm so excited about that i can't focus on the rest of the project!

I've been fucking around with excel all morning >:O

You have all been so chatty since I went to Hastings and came back!

RR - you are the sweetest!

Everything else I know nothing about. And I don't mean just ILX, I mean anything.

I'm a pretty forgiving person in general, though. Just thought I'd put that out there, you know, just in case.

btw, I think my family now thinks I would rather read about endocrine disorders than talk to them. Which is only true some of the time.

Argh, tehresa, why aren't you closer so that we can finish these vile homeworks and then go drink to their being DONE WITH?!

posting shit from the US is cheaper than from nz - jordan bought me a raincoat and sent it to me and it cost US$22. to send that back to him would probably cost me about NZ $60

Posting stuff to UK from Aus is also retardly expensive.

..but it's still cheaper to buy bike related shit from the uk and get it mailed over than it is to buy it here.

these days, every time we see a gaudily attired cyclist i say to f., 'i wonder if that's wilter,' and he says 'who?' and i say, 'from ilx'.

lol i haven't been getting out much these days, now that it's getting colder I have an excellent excuse to be a fat arse.

maybe jergins should move to nz

i think about moving there pretty often. it's my bored-at-work daydream lately. not that seriously, but i'd like to spend 3 months to a year there. cute girls with cute accents? great cities? buncha great outdoors stuff? what else could one want from a country.

this song has been coming on at work sometimes lately and i think about when my ex-girlfriend met me on the south island and we rented a car and drove out of Nelson and went through Abel Tasman and spent a couple of nights in Collingwood. it probably wasn't perfect at the time but seems so in retrospect.

i say that about the first three months of 1997

gf and I are vaguely planning to go to nz, maybe at the end of the yearish, we're also planning to go to London becuase my brother is like insisting we visit him.

You went to Australia too Jergz? If so where'd you go and what did you like/hate?

i wanna go to new zealand!!

Of the 51,000 brochures to be mailed, a total 413 subscriptions from 230 households are expected, representing a 0.008% return. While this return is extremely low, it is expected that the campaign will result in a large number of single ticket sales.

LOL at me and my project but hey this is what they get for forcing me to talk about the subscription model for a single tix org! the sad thing is

i can't get over how ridiculous this is!!!! and my subs are at 44% increase! hahahahaha

i always had weird feelings about new zealand cause my elem. school principal was from there and she was a bittttch but it seems so pretty!
