heh I'll never forget the time in early 2000 when I went to a party near the New York University campus near Greenpoint, Brooklyn (sort of by the Pies and Thighs restraunt) and I accidentally walked into a bedroom where Karen O from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs was having sexual intercourse with Julian Casabalancas from The Strokes. OMG! parties back then were really wild and crazy, with many sex and drugs! fun times

She was giving HIM the strokes and he was singing HER some yeah yeah yeahs in return?

they were porking

Y'all are savvy so I'm probably not telling you anything you didn't already know, but I only realized because I saw his name in the credits that Horse was portrayed by

And that is...?

It's you.

Warren (as mentioned above).

I don't like that julian casablancas fanfic.

Now re-reading it, I can't tell if it's supposed to be a parody or not.

a parody of my post? I couldn't tell either. I thought maybe it was true. But was pies and thighs ever near greenpoint? And did Karen and the Strokes ever hang out in Williamsburg? I dunno.

i don't think it was ever near greenpoint and the NYU campus part???

New York University is located near the house where comedian Ray Ramano grew up, in the Bronx.

Pies & Thighs started out in the kitchen of Rockstar Bar fwiw--does that count as near Gpt? :\ In any case: ew.

oh, i see, it is made up, which is also ew.

entertainment weekly?

actually, I think Yerac meant ew as in guh-ross! guh-rody! barf-eroo!

Why sure:

"I would love to see a [#RussianDoll] episode devoted completely to Oatmeal, in which you see everything through his lens. A Christmas special or something" https://t.co/q1a5M3evwo

Quote aside, that's a very good interview with Charlie Barnett.

An Oatmeal episode would be amazing.

Karen O definitely hung around in Wsburg, as did the rest of the YYY's. Talking 2005 or thereabouts.

Finished watching and really loved this. Fantasy NYC made by people who actually lived/live there and not by some committee of "creatives" in LA or somewhere. Kudos.

The ending reminded me a lot of the ending to Bruno Dumont's "Coincoin et les Z'inhumaines", too. Sort of a creepy jubilation.

Warren (as mentioned above).

ah, Warren, the most famous mononymic pop culture figure ever

I know nick and Brian did, but Karen was really an east village type. Especially earlier in on the timeframe mentioned, when she lived on A and people would go to Shout. Don’t want to get to serious bout a stupid post but I stand by the belief that Karen and the strokes weren’t hanging out in greenpoint in the early 2000s!

Yeah that’s the book where Karen drops my name.

I'm Salvatore Principato from Liquid Liquid and I hooked up with the drummer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the keyboard player guy from Oneida one night in April 2000 after hanging out at Union Pool and then having a nutritious meal at Pies and Thighs. Karen O joined us later but I don't really like to talk about it. Things really changed in New York City after 9/11, when a jet engine demolished Sonic Youth's studio. It became very difficult to find horse tranquilizer at parties in the Red Hook neighborhood of the Bronx, for instance. But we still had a good time. Congratulations to Laurie Anderson on her Grammy.

James Murphy owes me $1,400 btw.

Carlos D from the Interpols doesn't even know how to properly eat a slice of pizza properly, and furthermore, he has herpes. Also, James Murphy always has bad breath. Read my column about it on Gothamist.

Hilarious stuff.

know who does know how to eat a slice of pepperoni pizza the right way? like, REALLY eat it? the members of the rock groups Blues Control and Endless Boogie. FUCK! they can't get enough

this is why it's good they have more women in writers' rooms.

cute couple alert!

It'd be real cool if you weren't doing what you're doing itt.

Yeah, what the heck is your problem?

love to clown people for having lived in a place where a large number of other people also lived, some of them notable

i mentioned the goodman hvac compressor falling from roof crushing them both upthread. if memory serves, it was from alan's roof. goodman. roof. leaping. pretty dang corny. but still loved it.

This was very good, but I want to vociferously complain about the flatly inaccurate code review scene. Group code reviews, who ever has heard of such a thing!

are you being sarcastic or

if it’s wrong i hope it was a deliberate nerd annoying move

Not sarcastic. Doesn't matter though.

I AM NOT A NERD.

sounds like something a nerd would say

Someone with the d/n "Zelda: Broth of the Wild" is definitely not a nerd.

I’ve done group code reviews and also been the one doing “oh shit you’re right I can fix that” typing in the middle of the meeting

no need to guess which character I related to

I stand corrected!

I just liked the fact that the word “unit test” was said

The words. Or the word “unittest,” if you like.

I've watched two episodes of this so far and am not reading the rest of the thread in fear of spoilers, but need to know: am I going to be sick of Schmilsson by the time I'm through?

Yes.

No
