Dan has a common name too though.
It's actually quite exotic in Michigan.

Yeah, I mean, if he had said, "Oh I totally know Dan Mart1n, he was this big-time goth in the theatre department," I would've said, "Er, probably a different Dan Mart1n."

Morning, crew. I came in 45 minutes late today, because I knew I could. Everyone is either at a meeting or on vacation. My immediate boss is out for a week, and my higher-up boss is going to be too busy to mess with me for a while. It's sweet. I think instead of dicking around all day, I might actually catch up on some old, languishing projects.
I am not talking about the Commerce Clause on the internet.
That's too bad, but I understand. It seems... um... complex. Worthy of a never ending series of debates. Which, I understand, is pretty much what goes on between the Supreme Court and Congress. :(

Do you remember this dude?
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, we had a class together and he dated a friend of mine for a while. We were never like super tight but we had a lot of friends in common. He was friends with 3rica too.

I'm so glad that no one from any of my high schools is ever going to turn up in Chicago.

Hi Sarah I was going to tell you something but I forgot it again.

Oh yeah it was that I think maybe the repost limit on Craigslist is 48 hours, not a week, so I might be able to repost my ad tonight.
Not very interesting I guess.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I need more coffee.
It IS interesting, Nick!! I was actually wondering that this morning!
OMG!
Wow!
(The silliness is directed at myself, not you.)
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:32 (sixteen years ago) link
I have a ton of shit to put on Craigslist. I should actually use Chicago thread to sell things too!
I am drinking a cup of half-caff. Made it myself. Not too bad. I need extra lift, because I stayed up too late contemplating the potential ramifications of drinking bottled water, and Article I, Section 8, Clause 3.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
what are you selling??
― river wolf, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I have been trying to venture out to other threads more often, but this morning was a total disaster, so I'm stuck just waiting for posts on the Chi thread I suppose. O_o
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
A disaster how?
Btw, I was out of Roastaroma tea earlier this week but went to Whole Foods last night to stock up. Damn, it's good. I might make another cup when I'm done with this one.
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah Sarah I don't know what disaster you're talking about. You have to remember that not that many people are on ILX at 9 a.m.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just being dumb. Either people weren't responding to my posts (ie: I was making threads fall off the front page) or they were disagreeing with me (ie: saying that having a nalgene bottle at your desk is equivalent to coming to work in hiking boots).
I be sensitive.
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
But that was just gabbneb, right? He's weird, anyone will tell you that.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I think we all know that Gabbneb is cray-cray. xpost
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I occasionally have a Nalgene at my desk.
During winter I wear hiking boots to work.
People are fucking stupid. I hate this board sometimes.
― dan m, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, gabbneb says all kinds of shit, don't make it true. History has shown.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
1. It's not 9 AM all over the world.
2. Kenan, shut up.
3. I should probably have a yard sale. Maybe we could all go in on a yard sale like Courtney and I did with Jenny and Jeff when we moved from NC!
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I met him once. I was VERY VERY drunk though.
I would be up for this yard salin'. The last one at our house was not very successful, but YOURS WILL BE!

I'm selling :
- old crappy bike - humidifier - baking dishes - futon frame - things I can't remember, but that are stacked up by my TV
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link
You should have it soon before yard sale season ends.
John, would you please please say cray-cray next time I see you?
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link
When did you/we meet gabbneb? Was he at the July 4 NYC FAP?
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link
whoa, what? Who am I irritating now?
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes I will.
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I think by the time you guys have a yard sale, I'll have already thrown away or donated the things in my apartment that I could've sold.
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmmm. I just walked by the office where all 3 attys. are meeting w/ a sexual harassment client (plaintiff) and I heard the assoc. say "maybe Jesse!" and everyone laughed.
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just kidding, Kenan! HUGGLEZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz....
I be sensitive, too. That's lack of sleep + more awake than my body has any natural inclination to be.
Would I sound stupid if I admit that I have never heard of a nalgene? I mean, I googled it, it's all cool now, but this morning was my first encounter with that brand/word.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey. Jody, Lindsay, Lauren, and I are all moving November 1, so I'm guessing we'd all have some stuff for a mid-October yard sale. (And if anyone knows anyone who would like to live in our arty lofty space, act fast because it's getting shown around already.)

Kenan doesn't know any hippies or ski/hike/backpack dudes.
― Jordan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
i don't know
nalgene is a household name for me, to the point where ANY reusable drinking vessel can be referred to as a "nalgene." but that's outdoorsy stuff. also, maybe if you were a lab scientist you would be familiar with nalgene.

Apparently the concept of Nalgene has not filtered down to the Sitting-On-Your-Ass-A-Lot community.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:08 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I know why the attys were laughing. We're going to hold a "focus group" (mock trial) and I'm going to play the part of the harasser.

jesse, does your humidifier work? how much do you want for it?
― sisut, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Apparently it has also not filtered down to British fancypants. xp re Nalgene

a stretch. This'll be like when Dennis Hopper played the nut in Apocalypse Now. :)

Au contraire, I own one.

my humidifier works. my parents bought it and used it once last winter, but discovered they hate humidity.
It was originally $80-something (?- tag still on it)and I got it for free so I dunno. I'll give you a friend price.
