SB party tonight!
SB party tonight!
We've got nothing better to do
Than watch the SB and have a couple of brews

i'm vaguely rooting for the patriots because:
it was v. v. entertaining when they demolished the tebow broncos
rob gronkowski is pretty fun to watch
belichek's coldness and ruthlessness are appealing in a movie villain style
and
i pretty much always root against NY sports teams

but yeah i don't really care that much about either team

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link

I rooted for the Patriots vs. the Giants four years ago b/c I wanted them to make NFL HISTORY. But since that's not an issue this time around, I don't care who wins.

jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link

I would root for the giants if I had to because I'm still bitter about the patriots / Carolina Super Bowl results.

Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link

All I know is, the Saints can eat my butthole for losing so stupidly to the 49ers. That game was like watching a ship sink, with no lifeboats.

being from connecticut, this sb could be very interesting
because it is possible that certain members of my family could kill other members of my family

I guess I will root for the patriots if I have to root for somebody

well thank you at least for indulging me with super bowl talk

The big giant bags of frozen garbage corn.

garbage corn fan (Je55e), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

Yes, Dan is right. I started to post in the TJ about the big giant bags of frozen but then I got bored and when I was walking the dog I must have hit post when I put my phone in my pocket.

The big giant bags of frozen

Opening phrase of Je55e's erotic short fiction for the big benefit.

Alert: Brown and Purple Line delays bc of an "unauthorized person" on the tracks at… Paulina?

Jeff just said there are Red Line delays, too. :|

I was just noticing a clot of people hailing cabs at Halsted and Diversey, maybe related.

garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 2 February 2012 13:34 (twelve years ago) link

Red/Brown/Purple Line Express trains are operating with residual delays, after earlier police activity at Fullerton.

Definitely.

Bus driver says Move back make room!

Passengers squeeze by befuddled, put-upon looking girl. Mouth gawping like a fish, eyes wide and darting over the back of the bus, she wonders, What could be back there that lures the others??

garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 2 February 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link

She blocks the path of a passenger trying alight. Excuse me. Excuse me! Excuse me could you please move I'm trying to get off the bus!

Girl's face crumples and she croaks Omigahd!

garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:02 (twelve years ago) link

I got a seat on the purple line. Whatever happened worked out well for me.

Amanda, did you see the thread about life coaches/Landmark-esque culty self-help programs? I believe that is right up your bailiwick.

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:47 (twelve years ago) link

NO! I love that shit.

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link

I have something to tell you too, but I can't say it in public -- will email u!

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link

I want to see CAVE and even better for free, but I'm honestly not feeling a show that doesn't start until after 10:00 PM and has at least one opening band.

Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link

Amanda, I really would like to hear your story about U-NO-HOO (rhymes with "mom eat ham jewel")

garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link

then i expect you to attend this show with me

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link

I like the Cave album but probably not enough to see a show.

jaymc, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link

That's cold dude.

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:24 (twelve years ago) link

Sorry! I just so rarely see shows these days, my standards are probably higher than they used to be.

jaymc, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link

:) no prob i was just kidding!

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link

I think the next show I'm going to go see is the Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost show.

Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:46 (twelve years ago) link

I have to attend a meeting at 11:30 that I fear is going to result in my workload increasing exponentially.

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:49 (twelve years ago) link

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:34 (twelve years ago) link

i might as well b/c it's free

La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:35 (twelve years ago) link

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:35 (twelve years ago) link

I was right about the meeting yay for me.

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

Meaning the purpose of the meeting was to inform us that from now on, we have an additional 1-3 things to write per week on top of our regular stuff.

*seething job hate*

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

Particularly insulted by the statement that we're not expected to work overtime or take work home since there is no other way to accommodate the increase.

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link

sorry jenny. my work is reasonable right now but i am regretting involvement on this association committee where i'm supposed to be doing -something- but the committee head isn't doing a great job of telling me exactly what i should be doing so i feel lost and frazzled

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

why why why why why did I look at the comments on the trib story about the egyptian soccer riot, it's like some kind of self-flagellation punishment
