Jonmc Living; Jonmc Food; Jonmc Weddings... I wonder what kind of lifestyle we thunderslobs and thundersluts would promote if we inherited the Martha Stewart mantle by default.
Posted by Miguel at June 05, 2003 01:12 PMIronically, Martha's Mansion is two towns over from where I live. I've spoken with people who work at Hay Day market she's famous for shopping at, and they report that she's (big surprise) a bitch on wheels.
Posted by: jonmc on June 5, 2003 01:18 PMIronically, Martha's Mansion is two towns over from where I live.
Why is this ironic?
Martha, queen of civility and tastefulness so near to jonmc, champion of sloth and slobbery is what I meant.
Posted by: jonmc on June 5, 2003 01:25 PMYou know, if I were jonmc, I'd be outright angry at the tone of this if I actually believed Miguel existed in the first place.
(Oh, and I can confirm that Martha is a bitch on wheels.)
Posted by: cowboy_sally on June 5, 2003 01:52 PMShe'd make the perfect slave.
Now who's been naughty with her stocks?
*whoosh*
And who's going to make a trayful of Parmesan puffs and a 30-minute Mint Julep to atone for it?
*whoosh whoosh*
Ideal.
Posted by: Miguel on June 5, 2003 01:57 PMIt's not miguel's comment that troubled me there. I, too, (from personal experience)can confirm the bitch-on-wheels diagnosis.
But, you know what, we have impersonators saying all kinds of mean shit lately, and I wanna go to the get-together and meet my buddy eyeballkid without any bad vibes in the air, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume somebody pretending to be witchy said that.
Posted by: jonmc on June 5, 2003 01:57 PMI eat her every day with my flat ware...thought she may not be too bad...but then it dawned on me, she's divorced, I think him from her. Tells me something about her, unlivable yet that is her living, how to be livable.
Posted by: Thomcatspike on June 5, 2003 01:57 PMYou really find someone calling you a bitch on wheels insulting? My bad.
I glory in it. I live for it! I sing it to the tune of Sex on Wheels by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult!
Posted by: witchstone on June 5, 2003 02:01 PMCowboy Sally: are you trying to stir it up between Jon and me? It was a little hommage to Jon, not a dig, not by any remote interpretation.
Why, if I existed, I oughta... :)
Posted by: Miguel on June 5, 2003 02:23 PMWhat are you going to do about it? Come over from that magical, mystical land of "Portugal" and pop me one? Doubtful. I've had Canadian boyfriends who are realer than you.
::throws down gauntlet::
I challenge you to a Manhattan-drinking contest, you cur! :D

Posted by: jonmc on June 5, 2003 02:39 PMAny of you bitches on wheels need a marketing director to move to Manhattan and, you know, take care of things for you?
Posted by: Fes on June 5, 2003 02:41 PMI eat her every day with my flat ware
Thom, please. Remarks like that go in the kinky sex thread two doors down.
And jonmc, all you need to say is "Flannel. It's a good thing" and the empire is yours.
Posted by: tizzie on June 5, 2003 02:44 PMYou know, I've had a long time to think about it, and I just don't think monkeys are all that funny anymore.
Posted by: kaf on June 5, 2003 03:00 PMmonkeys haven't been really funny for a long time. i'm waiting for the monkey renaissance, when suddenly they're so fucking unfunny that they become ironically hilariously uproariously funny again.
Posted by: Ryan on June 5, 2003 03:07 PMKafkaesque comes back from weed-whacking, and now he's all "monkeys aren't funny" and shit.
Fine. Whacking makes ya too good for us.
Posted by: tizzie on June 5, 2003 03:15 PMThe preposition, with would take out the X factor, Tiz...now to take out those damn peguins which are taking over the blue.
Posted by: Thomcatspike on June 5, 2003 03:21 PMI stated several weeks ago that I had never thought that monkeys were funny, or indeed all that interesting. Nobody started a revolution then, did they?
Although I did enjoy the little monkey reference in the last episode of Six Feet Under.
I propose that wild boar are more funny than monkeys.
Posted by: witchstone on June 5, 2003 03:22 PMsee, under normal circumstances, that animated monkey .gif would cause me to utter forth a guffaw, or a smile, or possibly even a snicker.
but these are not normal times, ladies and gentleman. my stoic unamused curmudgeonly frown wasn't even cracked for 1/20 of a second. it's the dark ages of monkeydom.
Posted by: Ryan on June 5, 2003 03:26 PMmonkeys with tails and prosimians are funny. just try to say "lemur" without cracking up. So all new world monkeys are funny. damn prehensile tails. crack me up. old world monkeys can be funny, but some tail-less crank like a baboon just really isn't that funny. nothing like how funny a Sifaka is. the little fuckers run sideways. that's funny. scary baboon, not funny. i am going to taco bell now for lunch. sorry for the monkey delerium. great apes are funny when they act like people, other than that they just eat and sit around. damn dirty apes. bonobos are funny, but in an eerie way. god damned wannabe primatologist, me, much more interesting than marketing.

I mean, have you ever seen a hippo in galoshes? Or that giraffe that would do soft shoe to Motorhead? I broke a rib I was laughing so hard.
Posted by: ufez on June 5, 2003 03:32 PMAnd how could you not find those eyeless cavefish just hilarious? I ask you!
Posted by: kaf on June 5, 2003 04:11 PMWarthogs will be sendin' beer out yer nose as well. And don't even get me started on protozoa...
Posted by: jonmc on June 5, 2003 04:22 PMAnd how could you not find those eyeless cavefish just hilarious? I ask you!
I find it quite simple, considering it was a certain eyeless cavefish who stole my ancestral home.
Posted by: witchstone on June 5, 2003 04:23 PMI don't think we should discount the capybara for comedic possibility.
Or the platypus, for that matter.
And what about the Gila Monster?? (in espanol: deh heela moanstar). Watch out, it's the Gila Monster! hee hee hee...
Posted by: Fes on June 5, 2003 04:42 PMAnd sea otters. Fecking geniuses those little bastards are, what with the banging of anemones on their stomachs and whatnot.
Posted by: ufez on June 5, 2003 04:55 PMEver since 9/11, monkeys have ceased to be funny for me.
Posted by: jpoulos on June 5, 2003 05:13 PMOh, and world's funniest animals? Penguins.
World's funniest animal name? Sperm whale.

Posted by: tj on June 5, 2003 05:30 PMHow bout the noble dugong? When I was in the merchant marine, many's the night I found comfort in the loving caress of a gentle flipper, let me tell you.
Posted by: kaf on June 5, 2003 05:48 PMNautical trend + monkeys = SEA MONKEYS!!!!!
Bring on the brine shrimp!

Ryan, if I correctly remember your posts when you first came around, you never really thought monkeys were funny. Such a spoiled sport!
I always thought that monkeys were kinda funny and all, but after hanging out here, I realized they're fucking hilarious.
Posted by: adampsyche on June 5, 2003 06:37 PMIf...if...monkeys...aren't funny...does this mean...that...we're...not really here? Pr even all there?
*starts preparing for Manhattan-drinking contest with Cowboy Sally, smacking lips
Posted by: Miguel on June 5, 2003 07:09 PMHow did you miss the mighty echidna? Now that's comedy gold!
Monkeys are too much like myself to be funny. Instead they remind me of the short leap from fun lovin' primate looking for a good time, some nice fruit, and a fabulous tree to opposable-thumbed despot bent on world domination.
*crickets*

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I WILL BEST YOU ALL!!!
Posted by: Vidiot on June 5, 2003 09:16 PMBeware the dreaded Chupacabra! And the cap locks key, too, that fecker would drive you crazy.
Posted by: tizzie on June 5, 2003 09:36 PMmmmm...Manhattans. Sorry about the capslock -- I'm just about to leave work and am a bit frazzled.
Posted by: Vidiot on June 5, 2003 10:01 PMWe're all friends here, so I will warn you in advance of any actual meeting in meat-space that I tend to get naked when I get happy.
I say this because Stavros' monkey-skeleton gif makes me happy.
Just sayin'.
Posted by: Crash on June 6, 2003 01:31 AMAs long as there is something known as a "tuffled titmouse", all other wild kingdom comedians are amateurs.
Except, of course, for midgets.
Also, Kafka, since you still refuse comments at your site and an e-mail is really too unwieldy for small remarks, I'll have to say it here :
Surely, the most tiredest of all Home Depot jokes revolves around the varying available hardnesses of their caulk.
Furthermore, any of you who get go drunkenly party together in a big city without me can suck the poo out of my dejected simian arse.
Harumph-sob.
Posted by: dong_resin vs. jesus on June 6, 2003 05:25 AMVidiot honey, that cap lock remark was directed at myself - of course you couldn't know that! I had just typed a massive missive with the damn thing on.
You kids have fun tonite. I look forward to more drubken hijinks pictures this weekend!
Posted by: tizzie on June 6, 2003 07:54 AMListen, vidiot, I'm not foolish enough to enter into a Manhattan-drinking contest with you. You are the sensei of Manhattan-drinking, to be sure.
How about those lizards that run on their back legs?

Dung beetles are hilarious, but I'd much rather meet a baby gorilla.
Posted by: tizzie on June 6, 2003 10:10 AMI don't get it. Some little arthropod makes a ball out of his own feces and rolls it around, they make a nature documentary. I do it in the post office, they call security.
Is that fair?
Posted by: kafka, esq. on June 6, 2003 11:58 AMIf you folks have a drinking game, my money is on the non-bragger...unless it's EBK
That was Lesson # 1, I learned in College.
Also, I learned from The Movies that giant Nepalese guys can't hold their liquor for shit.

They drink Manhattans, too?
Actually, I'd put cowboy_sally up against the best...
Posted by: Vidiot on June 6, 2003 12:17 PMI just heard EBK's voice for the first time and I'm stunned by the lack of "dude" and "whoa." Shatter my image of SoCal forever, whydontcha?
Posted by: jonmc on June 6, 2003 12:18 PMI don't know why, but "typed a massive missive" just makes me guffaw every time I see it.
Posted by: Vidiot on June 6, 2003 12:21 PMHey make sure you tell Matt that the safesex guy from the LA Meetup was looking for him.
Posted by: kafka, esq. on June 6, 2003 12:36 PMAnd apropos of nothing, but I'm just getting an incredible amount of fun out of this page.
Posted by: Vidiot on June 6, 2003 12:47 PMI remember one night I was sitting around the campfire jamming with Will to Power and I suddenly said "You know what would be really cool? Is if you guys did a medley of 'Freebird' and 'Baby, I Love Your Way'." I'm telling you, it was magic.
Posted by: witchstone on June 6, 2003 01:03 PMThe guy in the cube next to me is trying to quit smoking and just started chewing Nicoret gum. He sticks three pieces in his mouth, starts chomping away, and then reads the directions. Apparently it's not like Juicy Fruit - you're supposed to just take one piece and sort of let it rest in your mouth.
I've already dialed 91, and I'm just letting my finger hover over the other 1.
Posted by: tizzie on June 6, 2003 01:15 PMI ate nicorette like candy for a year. It didn't affffect me isnhf any thewi aysdtktjka

You know that feeling you have when you think that you've been divorced for the past four years, but then find out that you haven't been?
Posted by: witchstone on June 6, 2003 02:57 PMDoes anyone still use the word "jamoke"? How about "schlub"?
I always thought they meant approximately the same thing as dork, but now I'm not so sure.
Is there an etymologist in the house?
I will occasionally refer to someone as a jamoke, albeit rarely. I can't recall referring to anyone as a schlub, though. Does anyone still use "goofus"?
Posted by: Fes on June 6, 2003 03:25 PMLet's take a look as some movies coming up in the far future:
2004
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (another one?)
Antchurian Candidate (with Denzel Washington)
XXX2
Mission Impossible 3
Shrek 2
Garfield (with Bill Murray)
Ocean's Twelve
Starsky & Hutch (Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson)
Mad Max: Fury Road (Mel Gibson)
Star Wars Episode III
Harry Potter (Gary Oldman is in this one)
Jurassic Park IV
Exorcist: The Beginning
ScoobyDooToo
2005
Indiana Jones 4 (Harrison and Kate Capshaw)
King Kong
I might pay to see Starsky & Hutch (Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear!), and probably Star Wars and King Kong. But the rest can shizzle my nizzle. (Did I say that right? I'm not too down with the kids today.)
Posted by: jpoulos on June 6, 2003 04:34 PMThe Singing Detective is sooooo 20003.
What the hell is that movie? The cast list is so bizarre.
Posted by: witchstone on June 6, 2003 04:36 PMWell as of right now, my nizzle has officially been shizzled way more than I have ever needed, especially on a Friday afternoon.
Posted by: Chico on June 6, 2003 04:38 PMI'll probably see Episode 3, Harry Potter 3, Shrek 2, & The Manchurian Candidate. I never saw Starsky & Hutch, so I don't know if I want to see the movie.
I'd see the Indiana Jones movie if they would put Karen Allen in it.
Posted by: witchstone on June 6, 2003 04:52 PM*worships lupo*
Oh, and witchy-poo. I was months ahead of you. And you had the nerve to omit the MacGuyver Movie, "Dude, Seriously, Where's My Car?", Rush Hour 3, and the one movie that I'm really (seriously) looking forward to for next year: Wallace and Gromit: The Great Vegetable Plot (links can be found in the post that I heartlessly self-linked. I'd put them in here, but I'm lazy and going to happy hour now.)
You NYCers have a great time tonight.
Posted by: ufez on June 6, 2003 05:06 PMHey why can't I post, I had to change systems to get in?
Posted by: Thomcatspike on June 6, 2003 05:37 PMThere hasn't been a decent movie made since Glengarry Glen Ross!
*hitches up pants, grumbles about 'good old days'*
So, lupo - who was it??
Posted by: Fes on June 6, 2003 05:45 PMThe Singing Detective was a BBC miniseries, in my opinion one of the top two or three made for TV series ever. The original had Michael Gambon of The Cook, etc fame as a mystery novelist with extreme psoriasis hallucinating plots within plots in his hospital ward. It's really one of the finest miniseries ever. I would say that and Brideshead Revisited are my favorites.
I bemoaned the remake because it is going to suck.
Posted by: kafka, esq. on June 6, 2003 05:59 PMWhen will they do a movie on blogging. I see it working with some main characters, then supporting roles with no faces at a screen. Yet, watching a computer screen would get old quick. Tie the web in a way the character is able to ascertain info, or keep current on someone chasing her/him. Oh great now I'm starting to sound like Osoma bin Ladens’s plight.
Cheers! to youz NY bar/restaurant/bar/bar crawlers.
Oh, and it's not so much that monkeys are funny - although saying they aren't is, in fact, blasphemy - it's that there are SO MANY handy jokes, references, pictures and stories at hand about monkeys that is funny.
And, of course, monkeys wearing funny hats are comedy gold no matter what decade you're in.
Posted by: yhbc on June 6, 2003 10:44 PMI did a little research and the only person who ever posted comments from that IP address was The Impersonator. It wasn't anyone we know.
