Sorry, sounds too much like squamous to me (if you click that link, don't scroll down if pictures of icky carcinomas repulse you [this probably means nobody on the face of the planet should scroll it as I can't imagine not being repulsed by them]).

Yeah, after my experience last night with barely being able to avoid c-section movies...I'll take your advice and skip the link. I have no ick factor...even Hitchcock movies give me the willies.

As to the Squamish team...I call one of the Deep Brooder spots. :)

Nice little game, 43-man squamish, but the rules are too straightforward. Try these.

You realize of course that Squamish is in fact a small town midway between Vancouver (where I used to live) and the Whistler ski resort (where I used to live) but is in fact a place I never lived.

Although I did get drunk there a few times.

It's nice.
It's no Three-Cornered Pitney.

Also, and offtopic : the mothership is so horrendously dumb lately as to make my little nostrils quiver.

OK, my nostrils are actually quite large and fleshy, but that's not important right now.

Dirt stone stick stupid. And the problem is, the moment you make a comment to that effect (which I have), one of the Floating DooDoo Balls (ie those oldtimers who just kinda fucking orbit around the place and swoop in like twice a week at most to say something faintly clever but eminently self-serving) comes up with a rejoinder that in essence boils down to accusing you of lowering the level of discourse (yeah, right, these days) by actually meta-commenting on the dumb dumb farkistanis who have pissed all over my beloved MeFi!

Rawr! Hulk angry! Kill newbies now!

Thus endeth the rant. Please do not adjust your browser - we are returning you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Actually, Hulk wants to kill a fair number of the oldbies, too. Hulk is pretty much an equal-opportunity clobberer.

oZZy, must be the referee, the whistle whistles, bleep !bleep!,

Is it time to flush yet?

Not that I don't still love the Blue and The Grey, of course. Love it like a basehead loves the crackpipe. Love it like The Captain Loves Tennille. Love it like my ass loves scented lotion. Otherwise I would get, you know, so cranky.

...er, 'wouldn't'.

My father just had a 5" x 4" tumor of squamous cell carcinoma removed from his forehead. Luckily, I didn't see it.

Hey Stavros: Get your own blog, fuckwit!

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
STAVROSTHEWONDERCHICKEN?

I'm not gonna post this to my blog, and i'm not gonna start a fpp here, but I need to get this off my chest.

ME.
FI.
SUCKS.
ASS.
THESE.
DAYS.

Oh, well...I suppose I'll have to wait for the playstation version, or perhaps play squamish with the Amish.

of course, 9622 doesn't post, so what does that say?

jpolous, I agree, seems the blue is becoming commnetary of late not discoveries, which you could comment, Get a Blog Fuckwit. Most of my ideas of threads have turned to me making my own blog posts. I did find a color blind test whoppee.

Who's Timewarp? It seems to be a pooflinger.

And at the risk of repeating myself again, I just have to say:

MetaFilter is in a bad place right now. But it's still better than anything else I've found out there.

Remember when BlueTrain was the biggest problem we had? Now I kinda miss the old sot.

How's the weather, ColdChef? Holding down the fort?

Just a gentle request which you are all free to ignore. Can we please not turn 9622 into MetaTalk 2? Thank you.

Give Witchstone a prize!

Kewpie doll, m'dear?

MetaTalk2: In a world...where justice has no face...a lone woman...stands alone.

Coming soon to a theater near you. This time, it's personal.

Oh, and this hurricane's a real pussy. I laugh in its face.

CC--Lisa told me to tell you that the hurricane headed your way has the same name as her great-grandfather, who by all accounts was a huuricane in his own right.

Does it look anything like Denzel Washington? I'll be disappointed if it doesn't.

You do not want to do that, little man.

Hurricane Thor, I'd be afraid of.

Or Hurricane Vince.

Hurricane Isidore sounds like a wuss.

*accepts Kewpie doll*

Oh--look at her cute little painted lips! She looks like whore! Excellent.

Yes, you are correct. I am disappointed that a cataclysmic hurricane is not bearing down upon me.

With apologies ahead of time to witchstone, whatever happened to bluetrain?

Q. Where do you go in Dallas in case of a tornado hurricane?

A. Texas Stadium - they never get a touchdown there.

wuss, hah?! Oy, gevalt, I'll show you wuss, you meshuggenah bayou nudnik, you...

post dammit...

[completely off-topic]

The other night, the pipster was watching TV in the next room, and the program featured the tell-tale "ping" and "standclearahdaclosindaws" of a NYC subway car. I got a little pang.

I really gotta move.

carry on.

I apologize to anyone in the afterlife that I may have offended.

Now...please make my toaster stop bleeding.

CC--news coverage of Isidore is a little embarassing here in Austin. The main concern around these parts is "will the ACL Music Fest be rained out? Horrors!

Of course, if you ever decide to move back, let me know. I'll leave a light on. =)

Vince in 2005. This year, Hurricane Teddy?.

You guys are gonna love this.

Set: Bare Stage

They're naked on stage?!?

I'm aghast

...and strangely aroused.

*holds doors of subway car open for jonmc...and waits...and waits...*

Get a move on, man!

Ummm...the site ate my last post.

Anyways, it was this long, cursing screed against whatnot for reminding me that the Austin City Limits Festival was this weekend.

Then, I bragged about how I saw two dozen tapings of ACL when I lived in Austin.

Then, I wept.

*Breaks out his Toni Price cds*

Come on, Hurricane Wilfred!

Didn't they run out of pre-names back in the 90's . Anyone know?
Ps, I'm named in 2004 if I was only a girl...which if I had been a girl, Lisa is named too in 2004 thanks liam for the info

OK, CC wants to be in Austin and I wanna be in NYC, does that make us 'artists in exile' or something??

Can you say theme song?
Welcome To Our Jungle

Not to confuse things, but I also want to be in NYC.

Fetch the cloning device! ColdChef wants to have his NYC and eat Austin too!

I am a sad little man.

Oooooh yeah!

Hey CC, I'll be in Austin for the Bright Eyes show on Oct. 4th. I'll send my regards. Any requests???

*weeps*

ColdChef, I stood in the grocery line with Patti Griffin last night. Do0d!

*takes salt, finds CC's wound*

I'll be sure to go to Freebirds, Waterloo, Cental Market, the rest of the Guadaloop....

*rubs vigorously*

quit yer cryin', take your bride by the hand, and drag her over here already. =)

So was that the Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin or the wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin?

I must know.

At night, when she's asleep, I whisper in her ear, "Maudies...Maudies...Maudies...Little City..."

You guys aren't going to believe me anymore....but Patty Griffin is going to be on a compilation I'm helping with.

The less you know, the better.

I saw Patty Griffin at Austin City Limits. She did a duet with Hootie and the Blowfish. Really.

I guess it wasn't "technically" a duet...

I am an idiot. So, tell us more, anathema.

What was the name of the robot from outer space that Steve had to battle? Was it the doomsday device or something like that? I have dreams about that episode.

Man, the Sasquatch ones were badass. That rotating tunnel!

If you're a bionic guy, eventually you're going to have to fight Bigfoot. That's just logical.

*rubs vigorously*

Um...please don't do that in here...

I saw Patty Griffin in the Huck's over on Carondelet picking out a double order of fried gizzards individually. Like, "I want that one... and that one... and that one there..."

Floating DooDoo Balls (ie those oldtimers who just kinda fucking orbit around the place and swoop in like twice a week at most to say something faintly clever but eminently self-serving

On behalf of my fellow Floating DooDoo Balls, we think you're lowering the level of discourse around here, Stav.

*bolts*

Ugh, too many rules.

*Continues to rub, but instead of vigorously, in more of a soft, gentle, motherly way*

Choosy mothers choose ... gizzards? ewww.

hey fes, i was just channel surfing and found myself at the Food Network where they were doing a feature on the Italian restaurant's on the "the Hill" in your neck of the woods, they were showing the toasted ravioli at a place called "charlie gittos" on the hill. Made me hungrier than shit, man..

I once met Patty Griffin at a swim meet. I was doing the butterfly, she the backstroke... we just clicked, you know?

I've et at Gittos, good stuff... but for my money on the hill, you want Dominic's. Premium-priced, but worth every penny.

I once met Patty Griffin at Charlie Gitto's. We had tiramisu and she told me that she loved me too much to stay with me.

Patty Griffin lives in a homemade shed out in the woods near my house. The neighborhood kids bring her goat'smilk and jujubes, and she repays them by weaving saplings into cool, Blair Witch-themed homonculi.

Patty Griffin stole my idea for a bigger and better food dehydrator.

Patty Griffin and I had a lesbian love affair when we were in college...

.... but not with each other.

Not as many know this, but Patty Griffin dumped Enron just in time. Made a killing, too. She told me she took the proceeds and bought a Fluff N' Fold outside DC with Emelio Estevez.

Patty Griffin kills people by injecting them in the buttocks with window cleaner.

Wait, that's Merv Griffin...

Patty Griffin stole my will to live and made it into a nice Christmas ornament.

Apologies to witchstone, but -oof-, yes, MeFi seems a little, um, clenched these days. Though it may simply be my spanked (and slightly incredulous) self-respect talking.

hmm ... can't wait to Google Patty Griffin tomorrow.

BTW, Fes ol' chum, next time you visit the east coast, hopefully I'll be living in New York, and we can do the Culinary Boogie around town, I'll take you to Katz's, which is the gustatory equivalent of religious enlightenment, as all the New yorkers on this board can attest.

I'm only writing all this to distract myself from the fact that i'm sitting here gnawing on a day old knish and that I have to put some pants on and go do laundry in about an hour.

Quotidian details, why do you torment me so??!!

I once saw Patty Griffin take out an entire squad of rabid al quaida with nothing but a paperclip and bic pen.

Patty Griffin is both "ParisParamus" AND "fold_and_mutilate". Sometimes, she opens yahoo chatrooms and has conversations with herself, the transcripts of which she saves as text files and sends anonymously to the San Franscisco Examiner as examples of the thoughts of "today's callow youth culture."

I can't WAIT to get back to NYC. Maybe May '03 (that buddy of mine I told you about that I was seeing the night after I saw you guys? getting married, he may loan me his apartment in Brooklyn for a week).

Well, that's if religious enlightenment includes indigestion.

oooooh, I wish I could have a love affair with that pastrami sandwich! oh, dear.

I'm not sharing it with Patty Griffin either, even if she begs.

Patty Griffin can turn that frown upside-down. She also is under investigation for raising poisonous tree frogs.

Which, it of course does, witchstone. This is where Jesus goes for pastrami and Buddha for motzo ball soup.

Patty griffin, even, has been known to drop in for a knockwurst with kraut.

Patty Griffin's bloodstream is 67% turpentine.

Patty Griffin has been known to "get a little ripe" after eating those damnable knockwursts. She can knock a bird out of a tree, if you ask me. My eyes were burning.

You're on my list.

All of you.

Tizzie--It taste's as good as it looks, plus Katz's in the ultimate, non-gentrified old school, pre Guiliani sanitization part of the city. So delightfully grungy you expect the Bowery Boys to come looping around the corner engaging in antics or hijinx or whatever.

Sorry to keep talking about Katz's it just the only eating establishment I've ever bought a t-shirt from. I am merely hear to spread the word. I am the Salami prophet.

Patty Griffin once gave birth to a flock of flamingos and then released them into the Florida Everglades. She has spent the last six years hunting them to extinction.

Patty Griffin wishes you'd never been BORN!

I hear tell Patty Griffin's got enormous webbed toes, and that she once had a tail.

Uh, I posted something, and then it disappeared, and didn't even give me the 500 error.

I'm frightened.

I told you I met her at a swim meet!

Patty Griffin was once secretly married to and subsequently divorced from the guy who played Meldrick Lewis on Homicide: Life On The Street.

that happens to me all the t

Uh-oh Crash. That's bad.

I'm pretty sure that, soon, John Malkovich will find himself spouting your comment to all his friends, before it is summarily discharged beside the Jersey Turnpike.

I love you, Salami Prophet!

Tell me that story about the matzo ball, just one more time, before I go to sleep, please?

Only this time, make me the heroine instead of Patty Griffin.

post, dammit

Patty Griffin can make the seasons change just by waving her hand. Patty giffin can also make a ship sail on dry land.

She also makes a nifty Fluffernutter.

Patty Griffin once cured a case of herpes with a featherduster and a stick of banana-flavored lip balm.

Patty Griffin was the original populizer of the phrase "Up your butt with a cocoanut!" She also wrote several of the lesser but still critically-acclaimed "Man From Nantucket" limericks.

Patty Griffin is like a magnet made of glass.

Patty Griffin was initially a suspect in the murder of John F. Kennedy until it was revealed she had spent all of the previous decade sequestered in Tor Johnson basement as a meatball chef and sex slave.

Patty Griffin is everything you can imagine, but not everything there is. When she looks into your soul, she leaves someone else's footprints in the sands of your innermost desert.

Whoa, that's heavy.

I have no idea who Patty Griffin is.

On a different, witchstone-annoying point:

Why all the public dissatisfaction with Big Blue?

Crash-- that happened to me too (no error message)! I just thought my Patty Griffin comment was so stupid the thread rejected it.
Maybe it was....

...and now a musical interlude.

Everybody sing, doggone it!!

One of my first blog entries, concerning the fluffer of nutters.

Greetings, Brother Sandwich Prophet. Let us go forth and spread the good news...

From the Fluff FAQ:

My "Never Fail Fudge" failed. Why?

Shrill idiocy + members competing to come up with shite posts + blue/grey = headaches/stomachaches x loss of patience.

We now return you to your preciously scheduled programming, featuring fluffiness and nutteriness.

Ever since Patty Griffin became a newbie over on the blue/grey, the place has gone sliding downhill to hell. Fact.

So are you saying it's MY fault?

the coffee mugs may be the coolest pop-culture fetish item of all time.

Yet another beautiful musical moment on this page.

*sniffs*

Tor Johnson=100% cute.

*pushes it. pushes it real good.*

I shouldn't take it personally right?

Patty Griffin went 5-0-1 in her last six games, coming back from the brink of mathematical elimination from the playoffs to win the MLS Eastern Conference Championship.

Tor Johnson=100% cute.

Um, this Tor Johnson, dude?

Also featured on this coffee mug?

I'm gonna run outta cupboard space if this keeps up.

Patty Griffin got da mad soccer skills, boyee.

Be hereby warned that Lupo and I may once again bore you with talk of soccer for the next couple of weeks.

Patty Griffin told us to.

Yup, that's the guy. I just spoke to Patty and she is ROFLMAOASTFOOTC!

Should read: "ROFLHAOASTFOOTC"

push.

Be hereby warned that Lupo and I may once again bore you with talk of soccer for the next couple of weeks.
*ahem* Football. :-P

push

feh. how's Roma doing, there, my love? ;-)

great, I pushed an nothing came out, grrrr

Anathema, I could read your ROC... comment several minutes prior to your post of "push" (???)
Ps, did we figure out, Quasanar's quonsar's riddle yet?

*wwaaaaaahhhh*

I saw you bunny in preview here you go, push or do I pull you out of your hole. Speaking of i have a rabbit that lives by my home door. He has the garden with the pool view.

The answer is: MAN

In the alternative, the answer can be found under a "big W."

feh. how's Roma doing, there, my love?
Sublimely, smugly content at Juve and Del Piero's recent performances and A.S. Roma's continuous losses. Teach that clueless ponce Totti and the fecking romanisti to keep me awake for an entire week the next time they win the scudetto (in another 18 years).

/Serie A fever

Juventus? I thought you were a fan of Roma. Shows you what I know.

romakimmy, I could listen to you talk that way for hours.

*swoons*

Nah. I root for gli Azzurri first and foremost, followed by Juventus, and Lazio a far distant third. I started following Juve thanks to the superb Zizou, and when he left, well, it was too late to change loyalties. AS Roma and their fans get on my tits.

i love you.

you guys certainly know how to make a gal blush in front of her monitor. :)

Patty Griffin insisted I finish some work today and forbade me to fling poo. The bitch.

But she did let me listen to John Peel ...

But Lupo! You said I was the only one for you!

I feel dirty and used.

Patty Griffin told me she loved romakimmy more than me, so I smacked the bitch down.

i'm a fickle sort.

Hey romakimmy, how did the newcastle/juventus match turn out in UEFA? Or has it even been played yet. sorry for being an ignorant US'n.

Yet to be played, Ufez. But it's not looking very good for your boys. May the best team win. >;-)

Can we please not turn 9622 into MetaTalk 2?

Witchy, sweetie, we've agreed before that talking about specific issues or people at the mighty M is verboten, but generalized moaning and bitching, particularly when couched in language intended to be risible or otherwise entertaining, I reserve the right to do when I feel it warranted. Anyway, jonmc started it, mom! Nyah.

That's wrong. It actually all started when stavros hit me back.

Don't make me turn the hose on the both of you!

**starts pillow fight**

**realizes he is alone and sulks of into fog of feathers with battered pilllowcase**

wonderfeathers?

Do you guys want Patti Griffin to send us to our rooms again?!?

Now knock it off or I'm telling Patti Griffin it was all your fault.

Patti Griffin once sculpted a remarkable likeness of "Equalizer" star Edward Woodward out of a giant block of chilled Underwood Devilled Ham.

Patty Griffin also seems to have removed the crazy doctor's meltdown thread.

Also the star of "Wickerman"

Edward Woodward not Patty, she only had a bit part.

Thanks for the info, romakimmy. And ouch at that first result. I still hold my hope for the Magpies, though!

And Breaker Morant, though that wasn't half as much fun as The Wicker Man.

I used to love The Equalizer. You just can't hear that same speech about "being haunted by the faces of every single person you've had to shoot" enough times.

Then, of course, he'd shoot someone else.

I guess they're really having fun (NY TIMES) in New Orleans. Damn that we're not all there. If I had my hands on some Hurricane mix, I'd raise a glass. Beer will have to do. Cheers!

poop flinginging is good for u!

poop flinginging is good for u!
