I just received an email message from someone with almost my identical email address titled "Who the hell is this and y r u in my wifes email contacts"; no message body.
I am tempted to answer back "I am you from the future after you've noticed that our email addresses are almost identical"
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 01:35 (eleven years ago) link
i think it would be funnier to respond with "hold on you fuck why are you in my wifes email contact list?!???" and see how he sorts that one out
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link
I really like both of these options. Or you could just start snapping pictures of random women in bars or hotel lobbies and email them with the subject lines like:
"Is this your wife?""Wait, is *this* your wife?""I'm doing my best, here. What about this one?"

― lxy, Monday, 14 May 2012 22:44 (eleven years ago) link
v nice. home-bound trip is bittersweet; worn out from vacation and ready for your own bed, but vacation is over...
― arby's, Monday, 14 May 2012 23:05 (eleven years ago) link
exactly that, well stated.
― lxy, Monday, 14 May 2012 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
it's a nice airport. gigantic, though!
Glad you enjoyed our airport, wish somehow we could have all seen YOU!

DID YOU RIDE THE MOVING SIDEWALK
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 23:00 (eleven years ago) link
aw src, me too! next time through we'll schedule a layover and meet up with you all!
jjj, SO MANY MOVING SIDEWALKS!
― lxy, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
Those moving sidewalks are weirdly enjoyable, aren't they... best fun at the airport short of meeting Larry Craig, of course.
― Sara R-C, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:12 (eleven years ago) link
he's the foot tapper, right? did not meet him, fortunately. might have been in the wrong part of the airport for that.
i wanted to buy all of the snacks at those cibo markets.
also, the smoking section outside the terminal has a hut with a heater you can activate by pushing a button. i tried to sit in it but it was the hottest place on earth even without the heater switched on. jergins smartly suggested it was built with ice fishing in mind.
― lxy, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:57 (eleven years ago) link
It is usually a LOT colder here at this time of year... I imagine those smoking/heater areas are brilliant in cold weather!
Yes, Larry Craig was the foot tapper and no, I imagine you didn't go into the men's bathroom, lxy. Maybe jergins could have gotten lucky.
― Sara R-C, Friday, 18 May 2012 03:13 (eleven years ago) link
you guys
I hate O'Hare so much
like, to the point where I wish it was a person so I could murder it
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Friday, 18 May 2012 14:38 (eleven years ago) link
I am kind of sad that you're already back. I want you to be trapsing through the East for months, having an escalating series of zany adventures.
PS how was your trip?
― He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Friday, 18 May 2012 15:04 (eleven years ago) link
It was AWESOME
I wish I was made of money so we could have just kept going
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Friday, 18 May 2012 15:09 (eleven years ago) link
I want him to go back, have the zany adventures, and have the rest of us be randomly joining him so that we create a posse of ridiculous gaijin with HSTNGS connections.
Later this should become a cult film of some kind.
― Sara R-C, Friday, 18 May 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
Our spouses/partners should all be along, making witty side commentary.
― Sara R-C, Friday, 18 May 2012 18:53 (eleven years ago) link
would join
― lxy, Friday, 18 May 2012 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
I hate that we are not making this happen somehow!!!
― Sara R-C, Friday, 18 May 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
I am in Duluth, so I am doing my part?
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 18 May 2012 23:14 (eleven years ago) link
I don't want to do this, but I'm going to say yes. Just be sure to toss off a few random Japanese phrases before you come home.
My favorite is "Sha-waa o obimasu." ("I'm taking a shower.")

hey guys, wanna go to Phuket
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 13:59 (eleven years ago) link
Phuket, why not?
― He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:15 (eleven years ago) link
yay
one step closer to my life goal of recreating key scenes from The Beach
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:18 (eleven years ago) link
I call punching the shark and not getting bitten by the shark and getting dragged into the forrest to die alone in horrible agony.
― He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:32 (eleven years ago) link
I call running through the tall grass high pretending I'm in a Super Mario Brothers game
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:34 (eleven years ago) link
...right before you pop up out of the grass and growl at your friends to get them killed
― He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
man, what a ridiculous movie
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, but I loved that movie. I can't defend it, but I loved it.
― He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
oh me too, I mean it is exactly the right type of ridiculous
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
Crap, I have never even heard of that movie! I hope I can still get a part in Phuket.
― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
It's an OK movie. I never actually recommend it to anyone because there are probably hundreds of other worthy movies one should see. It's kind of a fantasy movie built around the chauvinism and limits of being a tourist, and the un-sustainability of planned communities. I feel like if I spend any more time treating it critically, I'm wasting my time.
Still, it was a fun ride. Most people are meh. I was woo-hoo!
― oh jeez. I can feel myself quicken. (Austerity Ponies), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 14:26 (eleven years ago) link
^^^ exactly OTM
it is probably my favorite DiCaprio movie aside from possibly The Departed exactly for the reasons AP mentions
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 14:32 (eleven years ago) link
I still love Gilbert Grape, but The Beach is the only movie in which Dicaprio feels like a natural fit.
― oh jeez. I can feel myself quicken. (Austerity Ponies), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 14:47 (eleven years ago) link
ha very OTM
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 14:50 (eleven years ago) link
Interesting. I always forget that DiCaprio can actually act because he's so damn pretty that it just distracts me. Kind of like Brad Pitt.
― Sara R-C, Thursday, 24 May 2012 02:02 (eleven years ago) link
(I think we know I don't care for pretty men, right? I mean, I'm sure they are nice and all, but I often forget that they might be interesting or talented.)
lol
― oh jeez. I can feel myself quicken. (Austerity Ponies), Thursday, 24 May 2012 14:22 (eleven years ago) link
RIP pretty men
it's realy sad, they were pretty

A nurse practitioner friend of mine was telling me a horrific/hilarious story about a supervisor on his floor at a previous hospital job who was having a fit because the receptionist wasn't at her desk one morning at 9:00; when the receptionist did show up, she (a black woman) was wearing a head wrap because he hair wasn't done and the supervisor lit into her on the floor in front of everyone and ended with the line "... and who do you think you are with that hair wrap, Aunt Jemima?"
Obv this created an HR shitstorm that led to the supervisor delivering the following apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you Aunt Jemima; you looked more like Mrs. Butterworth."
I mean, seriously
