I'm surprised you're up this early.

Hey GB....assuming you're still at the hotel, I'm a few blocks away. Wanna meet up for a drank?
In that case, I recommend you drink a bunch of absinthe tonight, to put you in the proper mood.MisfitBlondes said:Just got this phone message from MsBlonde..."I have a surprise for you. I can't tell you what it is but it involves jumping out of an airplane" and she was giggling. It appears I'm committing suicide tomorrow.
Wait, how do you know this? The color of the product doesn't change color after the vasectomy, correct?I obviously do not just produce semen, but more like tiny Navy Seals. I had a vasectomy 4-1/2 months ago, and since then I have had sex with my wife countless times and spanked it myself at least once (I may have those figures reversed), and as of yesterday SOME OF THOSE LITTLE TOUGH BASTARDS ARE STILL HANGING AROUND.I'm tired of collecting samples. Do you have any idea how hard it is to shoot it into that cup without making a mess?!?!
I've never been to this, and in general I hate festivals, but by all accounts the TIMF is really good. Not overcrowded, two side-by-side stages where bands alternate so there's always someone playing, reasonable ticket price, and a (save) Ferris (B) wheel! It's supposed to get a little windy, and there's no parking on the island, but what can you do.I think I've seen B&S on every spin they've made through the Bay Area (including last weekend in LA ), but I'm reeeeeeeeeeeally excited for Superchunk. I just need to find a place to take a nap when The National play.Lucky *******.Bought tix within the first few minutes they were available.shut it down, or whoever you might be these days, are you going to this? Looks amazing. If you are going, and you have not seen them before (or even if you have), do not, under any circumstances, even think about missing Monotonix.
Are you trying to tell me that after a vasectomy you're supposed to stop producing? I did not know that.I obviously do not just produce semen, but more like tiny Navy Seals.

You have the same amount of juice just no sperm. I didn't bother following up to see what my count was after getting snipped that butcher hurt me so bad.

Agreed on The National. The rest of that Sunday line-up is absolutely killer, though.

always wanted to do this. congrats.do you have any fear of heights? was this something you wanted to do previously?MisfitBlondes said:Successfully jumped out of an airplane with a fully grown man strapped to my back. Since I was in a sharing mood, I let him take over after that.

Different cousinStLouis Bob, is the cousin getting married the same one that knocked up his girl?? I know you have a crap load of cousins, and since I do not have a binder I can't keep them seperate.
It's awesome. I love having two TVs - one with the game I want to watch and one on Red Zone. Perfect football watching.just purchased the red zone channel HD. Never seen it before, but I'm a tad giddy.

Oh, AND that they break it up by genre and have the dance-y, electronica-ish acts on one day, and the more traditional "rock" bands on the other...awesome. Shouldn't every festival do this? here's a pic from last year: http://www.noisepop.com/images/festival/ti...ght_shot_08.jpgAgreed on The National.

Jesus, that looks fantastic. I didn't think I could get more envious, but now I am.I will console myself by going to see Sonic Youth and Shellac in London on New Year's Eve and watch from backstage. Not the same, but pretty cool.Oh, AND that they break it up by genre and have the dance-y, electronica-ish acts on one day, and the more traditional "rock" bands on the other...awesome.

I think fashion is repulsive. The whole idea that someone else can make clothing that is supposed to be in style and make other people look good is ridiculous. It sickens me to think that there is an industry that plays to the low self-esteem of the general public. I would like the fashion industry to collapse. I think it plays to the most superficial, most insecure parts of human nature. I hope GQ as a magazine fails. I hope that all of these people who make a living by looking pretty are eventually made destitute or forced to do something of substance. At least pornography has a function.

There is not one "cool rock star" thing about Steve Albini. He hates every rock star accoutrement and affectation. That interview is just the way the guy is--he's just a bit cranky. But the lack of affectation or caring about any of the rock star BS is the reason that people can go and record their albums with him for a lot less money than he could charge given his reputation. No pretensions whatsoever.He also engineered Nirvana's In Utero, so, you know.

Better than the Twins, GB. At least it's just the first time, and you can build on it.F'ing Reds.
Moving Chapman to the rotation next year screams mistake to me. If I were the Reds, I'd pencil him in as my closer for the rest of the decadeBetter than the Twins, GB. At least it's just the first time, and you can build on it.F'ing Reds.
Never mind, I was doing some ####### math.Can't believe some dude might be about to not win @100K tonight. Hate it for him.
No. Christ. My original math was right. Unless that guy hedged, the 49ers screwed him.Never mind, I was doing some ####### math.Can't believe some dude might be about to not win @100K tonight. Hate it for him.

You turn in samples to see when you have the green light to stop all other birth-control methods. Since there were still swimmers in this sample, I have to do it again.Wait, how do you know this? The color of the product doesn't change color after the vasectomy, correct?I obviously do not just produce semen, but more like tiny Navy Seals. I had a vasectomy 4-1/2 months ago, and since then I have had sex with my wife countless times and spanked it myself at least once (I may have those figures reversed), and as of yesterday SOME OF THOSE LITTLE TOUGH BASTARDS ARE STILL HANGING AROUND.I'm tired of collecting samples. Do you have any idea how hard it is to shoot it into that cup without making a mess?!?!
you don't stop producing (they start being absorbed back into your body) but they shouldn't be able to get out of teh penis. The problem is that these guys are still on the exit side of the snip, meaning that I could still possibly cause the creation of a little snot-nosed crap-eater.Are you trying to tell me that after a vasectomy you're supposed to stop producing?

If you find a way, let me know. I have some bets to place.Is it in bad taste to bet on a couple getting divorced? I've been right so many times that I feel I wouldn't have to work if I had put money on people's marriages failing.

My fiancee took me skydiving for my 30th birthday 2 years ago. It turns out she arranged it through a friend of a friend who is one of the instructors at the site. He showed up just before we jumped and took one of those helmet-camera things so I have a video of it too The look of fear on my face as we jumped out of the plane is pricelessDude, I just did this yesterday (Sunday the 10th).

NO!!! and post email here...So, there's a report we run for one of our customers. It's due by 10:00 Easter and reports on the previous day's activities. Normally, this report gets sent by my operation on the same day within 30 minute of said activity's completion, beating the deadline regularly by something like 16 hours.Last week, said activity was not performed on Thursday so that report to the customer was not generated (completion of the activity generates the poke to send the report - a process flaw but understandable). On Friday an email is sent from the customer to my office requesting the report. This is sent early Eastern time so no one is in the office to respond. A follow up email is sent 90 minutes later to which I personally respond immediately apologizing, explaining what happened and attaching the report.Today, I get an email chain forwarded from my boss that travelled up the chain at our customer #####ing and moaning about not getting the report, complaining about emailing 3 times to get a response (only emailed twice) and failing to mention that normally we are outstanding in respect to this compliance.Since I've got a new job and all, I am having a hard time not responding to them with sternly worded lesson on partnership and not treating high performance vendors like delinquent children and exaggerating to put them in a negative light when a rare issue pops up.Someone talk me down.
