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

also: can someone tell me what 'botw' means. i've never figured it out (amongst many other internetisms)

No idea.

No, wait; I googled it. "best of the web?"

Just woke up from a terrifying nightmare, btw.

see, i knew we could get it to catch on

"best of the web"? - i was expecting something rather more exciting. i guess that was pretty naive.

uh, it's not "best of the web"

i think he was referring to our new world beating meme as a bridge over troubled water

bear ovaries taste wonderful

btw, the locking of the hidden board thread was an unintended but welcome outcome of meme placement and marketing

I feel sad that googling does not tell me everything I want to know.

also i was v v v v drunk and am feeling accordingly hungoverawful, so that should serve as some sort of comeuppance i suppose

balls out til wednesday

John, you should drink some water, take two Advil, and go lie down.

Having to wake up desperately needing to pee in an hour will be your comeuppance.

i dont think lying down at work is justified, also i do not like painkillers

drinking water now though and it seems kind of great

also i do not like painkillers

!!!!!!

Of all the list of drugs it seems like you have tried, I would not think that a couple of Advil would be that offputting.

That being said, yes, water is probably your best friend right now.

That water would be even friendlier if you put some vodka in it. Just throwing that out there.

it would also add to the analgesic effect

yes, that word has "anal" in it. CALM DOWN

Oh, so THAT'S why you don't like analgesia.

That's why he LOVES analgesia.

He loves it... but he just doesn't take the painkillers in order to save his liver for more important work.

Sara really should not be protesting, since after all doctors tell us we should always be drinking more fluids.

I would ask what drinking fluids has to do with anal, but you would tell me.

And we wouldn't want that.

doctors are now saying not to drink as many fluids. it may just be butthurt

I, for one, refuse to ruin the thrill of self-discovery for dan

It's nice to see John exercising such restraint.

Or applying the restraints.

I don't think the word I'd use for that is "nice," Ned.

"expected", maybe.

I was thinking "alarming," but then I realized that what Ned and John do together when they are not on ILX is really none of my business.

"I wish I could tie you to a pony and spank you!"
"wtf, you just did"
"ALL RIGHT!"

Dan, your imagination TERRIFIES me.

At least I hope it is your imagination.

Time to pick the kids up bump.

But it looks cold out... I'm not ready to go! ;_;

oh, I don't remember if I complained about this upthraed, but I still have a job... for now

Yeah, some of your co-workers lost their jobs, is that right?

Are you, like, working with an axe over your head now? Because that would totally suck.

Four folks from my department, including my boss.

Officially I am not working with an axe over my head.

"Officially?"

Is that good or is that more like, wait, now you have to do the job of all those other people AND your job, too!

The latter. WHEE

Yuck. I'm sorry.

Hey, at least I still have a job!

My cousin works for a publishing house in the Cities and is in a similar position to you. They just got a company wide memo that basically said, "yeah, we know we're asking you to do a ton more work for the same money, but... think of how bad the economy is! You're just lucky to HAVE a job!"

THX MGMT PEOPLE

hahaha xpost

Except it's not actually funny.

Or is it? Sometimes the dark sense of humor thing gets me into trouble when I start laughing at the Bad Stuff.

It's not funny but it's totally okay to laugh; that's pretty much what I'm doing right now through bitter tears of recrimination, why oh why are you so cruel to me.
