He's back from abroad with a charming tale of poop.

How was the trip, Mr. K.?

And then there's the apes' revenge.

Ask9622.net: Is pot pie one word or two?

I'd say two, especially if you are modifying it, as in "chicken pot pie."

Though Webster disagrees with me. (This Webster, not this one.)

But "potpie" just looks plain wrong to my eye.

Remind me never to wear a pork pie hat.

I read "potpie" as "potrzebie."

So now I'm hungry for chicken potrzebie.

mmmmm...that's a fershlugginer good dinner.

Crash, don't forget to not wear a pork pie hat, ever.

Tonight I wandered into a gay piano bar (is there any other kind?) in the west village. I was pestering the poor piano player, requesting "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "Feelin' Alright." he said his "classic rock" chops weren't what they should be and that he'd only ever heard Annie Lennox's version of "Whiter Shade..."

During his break me, him and the barkeep bullshitted and it turned out that he was a fellow Simpsons fan. So when he got back to the piano he played the first half of "Inna gadda Da Vida" I began pounding on a barstool to simulate the drum solo." When he was done, we shouted in harmony "That sounds like rock and/or roll!"

I love new york.

I just returned from the Archbishop's funeral, which ended with people jumping on a trampolene -including me and my two housemates in our skirts. Quite an unusual day.

[homer]

mmmm...girls on trampolines...

It's funny actually, every time I go to a thrift store I feel the inescapable urge to find a toy piano and bang out the "Inna Gadda Da Vida" riff.

WoooHOOO, my swap discs are in the mail - finally! Hope ya like 'em.

And eyeballkid, don't tell anybody about my packing tape fetish, ok? If you can't open yours, call the bomb squad.

Thank you for the mention, Mrs. Zie.

Hey what's this Metafilter network thing? Is that new? I can't see how to add contacts etc.

Also, Matt, did you mail your discs yet? Not sure if you have my right addy. Should be the Tustin one.

kaf, you have to visit someone else's user page, and there should something that says "Add this user as a contact". The rest, as they say in the Heartland, is easier than a drugged up mare in heat. Or maybe that was a drugged up mayor in heat. I'll have to get back with you on that one.

Sorry for the hang time on this, but...

Jon, do you mean to say that that piano bar guy didn't know "Whiter Shade Of Pale," but he did know "Inna Gadda Da Vida?"

What kind of stoner hippie pianists you hanging with these days, boah?

Towerbrave, did girls on trampolines have anything to do with the Archbishop's cause of death?

I'm thinking autoerotic asphyxiation. "Pullin' a Hutchence" in modern parlance.

My favorite X-Files episode is "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," where Peter Boyle plays this character who can foresee how people will die. He's supposed to be leading Scully and Mulder to a body, and we get this exchange in the car:

Scully's driving, Bruckman's in the front seat, Mulder's in the back. Mulder leans forward to talk to Bruckman.)

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: We're almost there.

MULDER: How are you receiving this information about the body's location?

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: How should I know?

MULDER: I mean, are you seeing it in a vision or is it a... sensation? How do you know where to go?

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: I just know.

MULDER: But how do you know?

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: I don't know!

(Mulder slinks back in his seat. Bruckman half-looks at him.)

Look, it's just up ahead. You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.

(Mulder leans forward.)

MULDER: Why are you telling me that?

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.

(He looks ahead, smirking.)

That was indeed a great episode. I can't think of that damn show without getting angry about the last few seasons.

*shakes fist vengefully at uncaring sky*

Another great moment in autoerotic asphyxiation is the beginning of The Ruling Class (a great and very British Peter O'Toole 70s film featuring a guy in a gorilla suit), where an English lord gets off a little too much wearing his army coat, medals and a pink tutu.

Happy Canada Day, everybody!

And, uh, no Tizzy, his death -like everything else about him- was quite dignifed. I didn't know him very well at all (he was my best friend's Grandad) but I think he would have enjoyed watching his variouse and sundry relitives bouncing around in there funeral clothes.
I do hope, however, that my own death involves naked trampolining with Mulder and Krycek and some alter boys. As long as a tape of it doesn't end up on America's Funniest Home Vidios.

Wasn't "Ernest Goes to the Emergency Ward" autoerotic asphyxiation themed? I know it went straight to video, but I think I caught it on PAX TV at 4 AM last Thursday night.

I'm sorry, towerbrave. That was an utterly smartass remark I made, and I shoulda thought that since you went to the funeral, it was someone you cared about.

*swats self*

*calls to book naked trampoline session for towerbrave and mulder to make up for it*

*can't bring herself to include ratboy krycek*

Ah, sorry too, Ms. Werbrave. Meant no disrespect. Tizzie, though... she's all about the disrespect. Frightening, really.

Oh, right. Get out from behind my skirts, Mr. Esque.

Oh, dear, No! I didn't mean to sugest your jokes were inapropraite... jokes about Archbiships are ineveitable and funny. I only said about him being dignified because I felt a little guilty about having put a fine man in the line of fire - so only I have apologies to make.

As for Mulder and rat boy, you should check out my friend's slash stories. NSFW!!!

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux.
