This might be a backwards thread, I'm not sure...

I think I'm gonna go home and watch Ghost Dog tonight.

Ken, I know you hate Blixa Bargeld for what he said about Jarmusch in the late 80s, but you have to give Bargeld some credit for his opinions, though. I mean, tastes are relative and such.

Blixa Bargeld's classic alone just for appearing on The Birthday Party's "Mutiny in Heaven".

No, wait, I didn't see that, but I think that's because my clock's off. My brother set it on Labrador time. He thinks he's a Newfie lately. xxpost

Mmm, I'm gonna make an error (or maybe I've already made it?) and say "xxpost" when I mean "xxxpost".

xxxpost = stripper's pole?

I'm waiting for Chris to come back and save me.

I'm far from the world's biggest Jim Jarmusch fan, but there is such a thing as going too far.

More than two x's in an xpost and I tend to use "n by x post" or something like that.

Okay, this thread's crashed (probably my fault), but has it crashed backwards or forwards?

This thread is in about as good shape as the leaky cod-fishing boat I saw being rescued in a documentary on the Discovery channel the other day.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry, I've been busy.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 May 2005 22:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Chris to thread?

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 23 May 2005 23:04 (eighteen years ago) link

This is tomorrow's post.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 23 May 2005 23:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Ok, I'm back. WTF is this?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 06:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Right, Lunchtime!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it Lunchtime?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know what time it is, but I'm definitely starving.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Now it could be Lunchtime, or it could be Hammer time!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

This thread could leave behind it a Legend That Will Last A Lunchtime!

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:38 (eighteen years ago) link

You know, I'm quite pleased at how this thread has actually traversed the time continuum. That's quite an achievement.

When I first saw the movie Titanic, an anachronistic Kris Kristofferson quote by Leo D, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," made me believe that it was in fact a time travel story, and Leo was a time pirate, sent back in time to steal the sapphire for one lucky lady. Of course things didn't work out as planned and he got his come-uppance, much like the fellows in the horror stories who try to profit by (ab)using the knowledge of the future they get when they somehow get a copy of tomorrow's newspaper or tomorrow's mail or, for you Brits, tomorrow's post.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Amazingly, I've never seen Titanic.

It's weird, but I feel like we are smack dab in the middle this thread, like a ship moving through placid waters. Although, as we learned in James Cameron's Titanic, those waters may contain an iceberg. But in fact, that whole movie was the fcuking iceberg.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Whenever anyone talks about icebergs I think of lettuce. (And let's face it, if the Titanic had struck a huge lettuce, well, it would have made a different movie, at least.)

It's about some sheet of ice that got set loose after being in place for thousands of years due to global warming or something. I don't know if it became an iceberg or just melted away. It's the second from last song on the album, or the antepenultimate number, if you will.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Ice, Ice, Baby.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Mark Grout, ladies and gentlemen, he created this.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Who's responsible for this mess again?

― Ian Riese-Moraine's Plateau Rouge! (Eastern Mantra), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you.

There will be an interval.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 26 May 2005 07:09 (eighteen years ago) link

*Applause*

seventeen years pass...
