Jesse Chicago is OK. How did you find that site, EZ?

We've been watching Star Trek: TOS* and I think I'm subconsciously dressing like Star Trek space babes as a result (today - long blue striped dress, electric blue eye makeup, slight bump-it-esque elevation to my hair).

*This show is so fucking sexist it is almost no fun to watch. I keep hoping it gets a little less awful, and then Kirk will fight with a clone of himself (this happens like every third episode), and that is always hilarious and I think, "Okay, I can keep watching this." Then the next episode involves yet another plot about a woman who appears beautiful but is actually OLD and UGLY (read: they omit the eye make up, pop a plain wig on her, and make her look roughly my age), and is FOOLING men into popping BONERS for her which is a CRIME in SPACE FUTURE. Ma'am you are charged with four counts of CAUSING BONERS UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. We sentence you to looking 40 years old.

In summary: Star Trek: TOS: mad sexist, but space babes are mad stylish.

J: I saw a full-page ad when reading CS Interiors on a bus-ride home at midnight last night, and it made me laugh and envy you for having your own logo.

Ma'am you are charged with four counts of CAUSING BONERS UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. We sentence you to looking 40 years old.
Four! Wow.

Four. Kirk, Bones, Scotty, Red Shirt (as a half-Vulcan (hahahaha typed "Vulvan") Spock can control his boners).

on may day even star trek red shirts get to live

vulcans totally can't control their boners tho, as shown in TOS episode "amok time": "Seemingly embarrassed, Spock informs Kirk that his condition is called Pon farr, a syndrome that all Vulcan males painfully endure periodically throughout their adult life.[note 1] During this time, they must mate or die."

Yeah, but Pon farr is cyclical. In every day life, they can control their boners. In "Mudd's Women" one of, um, Mudd's women tries to rub up on Spock and he's just like :| and she comments on his self-control.

Meanwhile Bones is all

so that's why they call him bones

workers, boners, star trek, i <3 u chicago thread

hey this is a reminder about saturday -- if you are not on facebook please contact me for deets

I saved part of a donut from yesterday for a treat for myself today and when I turned my back, the dog licked it. I heard her lick it. But I can't be mad at her b/c she looked so contrite and pitiful.

Did you eat it anyway?

Jesse's soul donut
Do not lick

HA! I got that.

"Don't pick at it!"

"But I'm so sweet and tasty!"

i like twitter because i keep it separate from everything else and don't have my real name/info attached in any way and i just use it to act the fool. i follow friends but my favorite tweets come from comedians or just randos who happen to be funny. it's like getting a bunch of one-liners all day long.

I like following Twitter, but I don't feel like I can jump in as a contributor.

I gave the dog the bit that she licked and ate the rest b/c it was a peanut butter and jelly donut and as such, it was very important.

IDG the soul donut joke.

So they are doing foundation work or something at the site next door and we're back to having our entire building vibrating from 7:00 until 5:30. And not just minor, hardly noticable vibrating, like spilling water out of cups and moving things across the desks, jarring vibrating. Starting to get quite annoying.

let's try to keep this thread at the top of SNA

with vibrant, intelligent conversation

befitting of our world class city

this chicago that i love so

Okay.

I had Taco Bell for lunch and those Dorito shell tacos really stink up the place. Think about that. A smell funky enough to outfunk the regular small of Taco Bell.

Yo REALLY REALLY quiero some Taco Bell!!!

they had a reception in the library last night and they served stinky cheese and when i came in this morning the whole library smelled like stinky cheese. but then there was leftover stinky cheese for me to eat so i was cool with it.

a guy named Pita Malört is bring up the tone of chicago!!!

jvc that vibrating building thing is kind of nauseating! But so is a library that smells like stinky cheese.

My office vibrated on and off about 4-6 months while gas mains were being replaced. It didn't so much annoy me as unsettle my basic survival instincts. Also I would embarrass myself by getting startled and shouting DAMMIT! Almost every day.

mh when you come to Chicago we're going to serve you shots of Malort in a pita.

I don't even know what that means. I'm just saying things now.

I think it was a sexual come-on

my office vibrates every time a freight train goes by, kind of feels like what I imagine a mild earthquake is like

I think it was a sexual come-on

mistakes were made.

shots of Malort in a pita.

aka "there's a rocket in my pocket"

is jaymc still in NY? he's been MIA

jaymc is in nyc recording with mia?

more like arm-wrestling

I was at the big Binny's on Sunday looking for a particular brand of aquavit and loled when I saw Malort on the bottom shelf of an entire row of "Imported Cordials".

Yo, I got back yesterday. I was going to post here but felt burdened to recap my trip, so I said fuck it. But I had a good trip! Maybe I will tell you about it sometime.

hey y'all.

i'm going to see tortoise tomorrow, finally. i've missed them at least 5 times since i've been living in madison. maybe i'll get hernd0n to give me a tattoo after the show.

i was going to do a late call for potential pub quizzery

I may even try malort while in town

I am sorry I didn't get the chance to meet more of you. Next time one of which there will be because holy cow did I like your city. Jenny we went to the zoo and then tried to eat on the boat but it was closed for the season. It looked like it would be a lot of fun tho and it was cool to walk along the lake.

The highlight of his trip was me.

Sorry we missed you E.
