That makes me fundamentally uneasy.
Also making me uneasy: woman on train this morning with cartload of bottles filled with what appeared to be urine.

The other day I saw a guy walking across the intersection of Clark and Foster pushing three cases of PBR that were resting comfortably in his wheelchair.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 14:06 (twelve years ago) link
Speaking of containers of urine, I mean.
Not really. PBR is ok.
Slightly tastier than urine.

jvc do you like the mark mcguire comp that came out last year -- a young person's guide? do you like ashra/gottching? for whatever reason, that particular guitar sound really helped me distract my brain to the point where i was able to fall asleep when i was having all of that trouble last year.
i was going to put this on the insomnia thread but it seemed like i was too BLALBLALBLA
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
Haha, yeah that was a very rambling post of mine, but I'm exhausted. Funny you should ask about that McGuire comp, I JUST picked it up finally a couple weeks ago and love it - thats actually a really good call and I think I'll try to have that loaded up on the iPod by my bed. Ashra and Gottsching in general have been on my list of "to explore" for awhile now, but haven't just yet.

this is a good time for that! i have other recommendations but i'll let you start there.

This winter is not OK with me. I want some snow and cold. What I really want is Snowpocalypse 2012.
Did you guys know that postage rates went up last week? 1 penny increase for regular letters.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
I actually didn't know that!
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
For some reason my office's postage meter didn't automatically update like it was supposed to.

I can't go, I was at the Globe last night.
While there, I did learn something interesting: they bought the shitty bar next door and are going to expand westward starting pretty soon. There were guys with blueprints in there taking measurements.
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
huh that bar hasn't been there long
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
The bar w/ the neon martini in the window? That place looked like a hole.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going to an event tonight so I can't make it.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
At the very least I want to figure out that third anagram.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
what kind of event are you going to?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
If anyone has time to kill in the Loop on Wed I have a 5 1/2-hour break in between classes and will be spending it at the AIC museum. It's free!

I'm going to a event for K8e's school.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
It's an appetizer event.
i guess no pub quiz :(
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
It's a fund raiser.
It's a prison party.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link
Nick, I can ask around and see if anyone else is interested.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
OK, I guess it's off.

I left that playing while I folded socks and underwear and it seems to have given Brenda PTSD. She has been hunkering by the coffee table w/ her ears folded back for a while now.

The Malort video is p. funny.
The Shit Chicagoans Say video is really annoying, except for the part where they single commercial jingles to themselves while they do household chores.
Okay, I'm caught up on videos now.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link
I hate the SCS video.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:10 (twelve years ago) link
Surprise!
All those videos (apart from the original) are made by people with no concept of comedic delivery
― tanuki, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:14 (twelve years ago) link
What is the original?
― jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
Xpost which is sad considering the Chicago one seems to have the stink of improv ppl on it.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
Exactly.
― tanuki, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:24 (twelve years ago) link

That part was good - possibly funny - bc it was actually true and unique to Chicago unlike the rest of that crap.
Ct's sister sent us the Long Island one and it was at least tolerable bc it was LI-specific and not in dumb, obvious ways (eg Guidos, saying "Long Guyland") but like "We have to transfer at Jamaica??"
Chicago: "why does the Red Line always smell like piss?" Oh hoho! OUR train is gross! Say something about Malort or even Obama or fucking Mrs OLeary's GD cow. C'MON!!

Or, isn't that the bar where John Wayne Gacy used to go?

Okay, I kind of liked the guy smacking the be-ketchuped hot dog out of the woman's hand but that's just because I like slapstick and thinking about running up to somebody and smacking a hotdog out of their hand is inherently funny to me.

Can I ask you a question about your hair?
I don't know if those shitbirds are Chicago specific, though.
