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

Best NYE quotes:

"The bullets are in the desk."

"Who's doing a shot of hot sauce?"

"But I want to cut BIG lumber."

"Your wife is totally cute."

"These fireworks are used to scare birds."

My favorite is the "BIG lumber" one.

I think the last thing I did last night before we left the party was try to explain to our host's 13 year old son about how, when WE were kids, there were only 4 tv stations and after midnight on New Year's Eve, the only options were Buck Rogers and Barbarella. This seemed very humorous to me at the time.

FB, have we decided on a name for the poisonous drink yet?

How about "The Poisonous Drink"?

I like that, but something more descriptive might be possible if an ingredients list were published.

So, what were you drinking this time? Hensbane?

clearly the drink needs to be called "the wang" so that when it kills you people can say you died "because of the wang"

What did we come up with at breakfast? The Filthy Irishman? The White Cheddar? Curdled Russian?

White Russians with bad Baileys.

Wow, that sounds disgusting!

But I do kind of like Tom's suggestion.

oh man I got some soured bailey's once, that shit was a lost fuckin' cause

Is this offer still available?

milo z is wicked awesome because he understands a good guitar when he sees one, and seems to be one of the few people on ILX other than myself who has A)shot guns and B)is not insane.

I believe those of those things. About milo z.

gngggggngngnngnnnnnnnnrnrnrrrrrrmrnrrrrrmmmmmmmm

Wow, I don't know whether to suggest you have another drink or if I should tell you to go straight to bed, gff!

Maybe I just need lessons in your language. ;)

good night bump

Good morning bump

it is unnatural for humans to live somewhere this cold bump

I can't even get warm INSIDE at this time of year, so I TOTALLY AGREE.

I have not yet given up my dream of making everyone I know and like move to Hawaii.

Any ideas on how I can keep the eye doctor from dilating my pupils today? I have avoided it for, like, 4 years so it's getting more difficult.

shoot him

That approach might be a bit too direct, John, but thanks for the suggestion.

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEASURES.

I think you're forgetting that I have poor eyesight. And poor aim. And an aversion to murder.

All of these problems can be corrected.

I appreciate your offer of help, but I'm afraid I will have to decline at this time.

I reserve the right to change my mind tomorrow night at around 6:30, though, because that's when I'm going back to do the damn eye dilation.

COLD COLD COLD. Our furnace was being persnickety all of last night. I had to cuddle my dog for warmth.

Ugh, I think our heat was FINE and I was still freezing all night. And I was pulling out all the stops; making/drinking hot tea, wearing multiple layers, lying under a billion blankets, and I even heated one of the corn cozies and put it by my feet in the bed. STILL COLD!

More aggravating, A. seemed fine and was blissfully sleeping the entire time I was doing all of this.

sara why are they dilating your eyes? and how do they do it?

also: this is totally random, but no point in starting a thread, but i was watching "this film has yet to be rated" last night, and there's a great line from michael tucker ('gunner palace') about ratings. he says how you can't rate reality, and that if people can't deal with it they shouldn't send other people to war. great documentary, btw.

It's part of a "complete eye exam" and they use these nasty drops that STING like mad. And then of course your eyes are dilated and so don't respond to the influx of light, so everything seems insanely bright for a while. I totally hate it.

Apparently they are perfecting a new way to see into the eye with a fancy machine, but we don't have that yet in Northfield. ;_; On the bright side, they no longer puff air into eyes like they used to. (I never understood that one at all.)

Hmmmmm, so I should add that to my Netflix queue, too... thanks for the recommendation. I kind of wish I could take a year off from all of life just to watch movies, read books, and listen to music. I need to catch up!

i also watched 'fast food nation' which i'd heard bad reviews of, but i liked it.

I'm kind of curious about that, but fear that it will drive me to want to eat fast food instead of having the intended effect.

no way... esp at the end, when there's an extended scene of exactly what goes on, on a kill floor.

Sara grew up on a farm, though. I mean, once you've sledgehammered one cow, you've sledgehammered them all.

Don't listen to John; he was very nearly at the wrong end of my sledgehammer on many occasions.

But he kind of thrives on that sort of thing, so don't feel bad for him.

hi everybody. happy new year!

YAHOO HI DERE

YAHOO the cry of happiness not the email service HI DERE the greeting not the poster

tru confession:

in my head i always read HI DERE as HI, DEAR even though i know that's now how it sounds nor what it means. nevertheless the wrong way makes me happy (as in YAHOO).

bump botw

HI, DEAR is kind of sweet, actually. Awesome!

I am about 50 percent convinced to register "HI DEAR" as my new primary username.
