The Mac fad is passing.
heh. This is why their computer sales (not including iPods) were up 30% from just last year.

Nick... any chance of borrowing a PC laptop for someone for the night, or something?
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Nick - could you get permission to use one at work when you're done one day?
― KitCat, Monday, 17 September 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Nah it's cool.
― n/a, Monday, 17 September 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I suppose you could borrow my laptop. Barring that you could go to the library.
You are welcome to my laptop though. Just keep liquids off of it.

attn. renters: be glad that paying for plumbers is your landlord's responsibility. (isn't it?) i am $413 poorer today. eek.

ILX is boring today. :( Where are the fites? The lolboobs? The contentious subject matter? I feel let down.

I mean, there is a Russ Meyer thread, but the result is pretty much a foregone conclusion. Beyond the Valley of The Dolls pwns all.

Ravinia is on for tonight. Take the Metra up and drink on the train and enjoy the countryside.

what did you get plumbed?
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link
depths.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link
bathroom sinks both of em $413! i have tried to do this myself, but the build-up was so far down and through crooked pipes that i couldn't do it without the motorized thingie they use.
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow. You could have maybe bought a motorized thingy for that price.
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Easier said than done.
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
And then we could get together sometime and use it to plumb Kenan's depths.
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Every time a sink gets clogged, I think to myself that I should keep some liquid plumr or something around to use if the drain even gets a little bit slow. Preventative, like. But have I ever done this? No.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually for a buuuuuunch less, but you'd also need a high-powered drill, I think...or at least the heavy-duty snakes I saw at the hardware store were meant to be attached to a drill, I dunno exactly what professionals use.
― Laurel, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
These guys had a machine -- there was no rinky dink drill attachment. It was like a motor-rotor thing. I am not averse to dealing with the stench of built-up pipe crud, but this is way built up from the people who lived here before and never cleaned a pipe ever.

Nick, they used to include cds for macs...I know I was able to get ahold of one.
― sisut, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link
xp I love heavy machinery. Getting Stuff Done is great.
― Laurel, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
isn't it, though? :)

I got a day's work done today before lunch. I'm not going to point this out to anyone around here, just quietly wait for someone to be wowed.
they're going to follow that "wow" with "here's some more work"
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link
whatever. I got my protein shake; I'm ready. Bring it on, bitches.

An actor I worked with in Minneapolis suggested we name our troupe the Bring It On Bitch Theatre Co.

Along the lines of what not to bring on, my friend's photography blog linked to these banned Calvin Klein commercials from the 90s. Jeez.

CK = slang for "chickenhawk"
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I couldn't watch much of that. It made me feel seedy.
I couldn't either.
― KitCat, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
It's really, really seedy. I didn't get more than 30 seconds into it either.
― Eazy, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
I watched the whole thing!
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
And now I feel seedy, but not that bad. I've felt worse.
plz don't tell kate masonic about this.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
before there was American Apparel, there was CK
― dan m, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, i mean big deal. how is that different than looking at a smutty poloroid on the back of the reader?

I like it when dude says "That's a pretty good mosh."

That's a pretty good mosh.

These are mostly just funny.
positively rumsfeldian
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I remember the CK ads from that period with the same models and rec-room setup, but somehow having the interrogator/cameraman added to it takes it to a creepier level. How it's different from the "Criminal" video (which I don't mind) is a whole other debate.

xp They should have been playing Anthrax in the background.

Marching? No moshing.
I mean, they're not that bad. I'm glad they weren't on tv, but they're not kiddie porn stored behind the family couch.
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Sorry guys, these are just funny. The narrator dude is just trying way too hard.

They're mostly just awkward to watch.
