Finally, a project I can participate in!

Scuse me. I need another cup of coffee and a bran muffin.

The flinging has fallen short around here lately, Vidiot - way to pick up the slack!

*splat*

Tax Day is also Poop for Peace Day?

Coincidence?

*flings poo*

No, Poop for Peace Day is also YHBC is Officially Another Unemployed Monkey Day!

I think I'll move the sofa out to the curb first, it's better to drink beer that way. I just need to lay in a good stock of wifebeaters and PBR so I can be comfortable waiting for the unemployment checks.

whoops, forgot:

*catchs poo, flings back*

At the risk of repeating myself, I think my 9622 introductory dungflinging monkey* seems more appropriate for Poop for Peace day.

And in case I forget tomorrow - I'd like to wish everybody a Happy We-Need-More-Toilet-Paper day!

*Dungflinging monkey originally appeared in the 1/14/05 9622 post. Not valid in Utah or the Southern Hemisphere. Your choice of gravy.

*Dungflinging monkey originally appeared in the 1/14/05 9622 post. Not valid in Utah..."

Fuck you, then. I'm taking my poo and going home.

Fuck you, then. I'm taking my poo and going home.

Um...by "Not valid in Utah..." I, of course, meant Not valid in Utah IF YOU'RE WEARING A PINK WET SUIT AND A MOSS COVERED SOMBRERO WHILE EATING COTTAGE CHEESE FROM A CLASSY WOMAN'S SHOE". I really should have been more specific.

this is so cool

Wow. As a huge Django fan, that rocks. (And "Minor Swing" is on my obscenely-delayed mix CD, too!)

and today at work, I got to work on the new Springsteen and an MC5 (who were, even more than the Stooges, the grandaddies of both punk & metal, although they rarely get mentioned these days) live box set. And I'm still digesting the nice pulled-pork dinner from Brother Jimmy's yesterday.

Sometimes, life is OK.

jon, this one's for you:

What flavor Pocky are you?

You Are Reverse Pocky

Your attitude: rebellious and clever
Non-conformist, but curiously a trendsetter
With you, up is down... and it's a wild ride!

What Flavor Pocky Are You?

go figure.

You Are Green Tea Pocky

Your attitude: natural and zen
Peaceful yet full of life. Deep and thoughtful.
You're halfway to tantric bliss!

*disclaimer - I have never actually eaten Pocky of any variety! But the tantric bliss part sounds ok.

Sweet soft drinks? Get that poor chimp a martini!

Heh. I got Reverse Pocky, too. Must be a flannel-wearer's thing.

Hmph. Banana Pocky for me...the one flavor I hate:

...and, did someone say smoking monkeys?

You Are Banana Pocky

Your attitude: fun and lighthearted
Unique and unforgettable
You are cutie everyone falls for

I am Strawberry Pocky...
Your attitude: fresh and sweet
Comforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyper
You always see both sides to everything

The response 'Weird random foods you find to try' seems tailored specificly for you, Jon!

And Vidiot:
I know you're busy with the whole co-habitational thing, but my army of Flying Giant Spiders is on standby; we await that disk!

Weighing only 3 to 8 pounds with tiny humanlike hands and puzzle-solving skills, Truelove said it could unlock doors, search buildings and find suicide victims on command.

Maybe they should send in the monkey before people become suicide victims. I mean, who wouldn't be cheered up by a monkey in a little kevlar vest?

They are about to announce that Miguel is the new pope. You heard it here first!

Well, that would explain where he's been lately.

All hail Pope Migs! Cocktails and cigars all around!

Dammit, tizzie. You lied to us. They've gone and chosen someone not-Migs.

That settles it. I'm done with the Catholic church. Oh, wait...

Slack-a-go-go - best of the thread!

And Aine, dammit, I'm as disappointed as you are!

Miguel, we miss you!

Foo. I was hoping they'd have a photo in that article you linked to, Dana. At least a picture of a stuffed monkey in the little vest. C'mon, AP. Work with us here.

Miguel == Pope Cognac I !!!!

I'll drink to that!

Pope Cognac I - that just SOUNDS so right. I'm not a fan of congnac or popes, but for some reason I feel I could get behind Pope Cognac I. Or if we want to keep with the German theme: Pope Jagermeister I.

And thanks for kind words Tizzie.

Now I need a shot of something.

I just got tickets to see Paul Westerberg next wednesday! I'm so fucking happy I could shit blueberries!!

The ones who love us best are the ones we’ll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we’ll die to please
If it’s any consolation, I don’t begin to understand them

We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons

*has multi-orgasmit fit of pure joy*

jonmc - that's my fave Replacements song and one of my alltime fave songs ever. Lyrically I think it's Paul at his best and musically it just plain rocks. It's one of those songs that makes me drive faster when it comes up on a mix - I hear that opening yell and my foot presses down on the excelerator. And if I'm listening to the whole album in the car i don't slow down until I get to "Here Comes A Regular". Have fun.

Jon -- You'll be happy to know he plays that one. And Here Comes a Regular and about a dozen other 'Mats tunes. You are going to LOVE the show. I'm jealous. I want to see him again.

Oh, and your Paul signing is going in the mail tomorrow. Heh -- if you time it right, you can bring it with you and tell him jonmc who. :)

Ok. Not to be a comment hog, but I just found this. Me & Paul! Hooray!

I have no idea who the people who posted this are. We were just in the parking lot together. And they were entertaining.

Brush with greatness, Aine! WoooHOOO!

Now I'm going to have to crank up some Replacements while I get dressed for work, heh.

HAERT

(get it? huh?)

</dork>

And I haven't even read the chapter!

On an unrelated note, did anybody see the new building going up in my little old town on page b1 of the Wall St Journal today?

It's also here.

aine42, that's jodic.

Oh, and she's been going on and on about the show on her blog, with more photos and shtuff.

Ha! Hilarious. Unintentional MeFi meetup! Wish I'd known at the time.

tizzie: That is one wacky building.

Everyone is quite a-tingle here, though, since they think it'll fill up with fancy rich folks who will make our collective IQ and local economy rocket skyward.

Heh, probably some incentive package exempts them all from paying city taxes for the next few decades.

I'd love to see floor plans on it. That pointy bit is intriguing, but seems quite useless. The fancy rich folks will love it.

Still not gonna be as cool as this place:

Using a network of cameras and computers, the bonobos can see visitors who ring the doorbell -- and will be able to choose through a computer touchscreen who will be permitted into a secured viewing area.

"Only if they want to open the door can you enter," Savage-Rumbaugh said.

At the vending machine a moment ago, I only paid for one pack of Starburst, but it gave me two.

Scary thing is, that's the highlight of my week so far.

That's better than getting Paul Westerberg tickets?

Oh yeah.

OK, it was the highlight of my work week.

Did everybody hear this good news? Sweet!

Thanks, tiz!

I couldn't be more ecstatic.

I just saw a commercial for Kool-Aid where the Kool-Aid pitcher man burst into the scene like always, but he was wearing pants. Are they afraid of the censors being offended by an unclothed pitcher? Have we gone off the deep end post-Janet's Juggs?

This would've been less upsetting had it not been followed by an ad for a pet cleanup spray called (I am not making this up) Urine Gone, that featured luminescent yellow urine stains and began with the line "Is your pet a peeing machine?"

Talk about your mixed messages.

Pets can pee, pitchers can't. Seems perfectly clear to me!

Actually, Jon, I share your fear. They have even started bleeping the word "shit" out of NYPD Blue reruns on courtTV. These are shows that already ran, intact, on the networks - that still have that silly disclaimer about "adult situations and nudity" - and now there's no shit?

Both pitchers and catchers should be clothed.

Unless they are in the act of pitching or catching because clothes sometimes get in the way.

Both pitchers and catchers?

Why, that's battery!

/combination obscure legal and sports references

Commish! I was listening to your "Drive" mix in the Large American Rental Car today. How are you? How's the job search? Tell, tell!

Kool-Aid pitcher man burst into the scene like always, but he was wearing pants.
Saw several posts being linked to a picture of it on the net awhile back. Now I understand what the posts were about. The site hosting it was poorly done with little detail. Thought maybe the current generation was mocking the Hey Kool Aid Man for being heavy, instead he was a nakid streaker. Did he drink the forbidden, apple kool-aid?

While many of us, like Kool Aid Pitcher Man, have dreamed of a pantsless utopia, our epoch and culture demands pants. A few iconoclasts, forward thinkers and the occasional pervert strike a blow here and there for greater awareness of pantslessness, but the bottom line remains that we, as products of a pantsed society, remain today and for the forseeable future constrained by this necessary evil. I only hope that, someday, enough of us are energized to the point where we can strike off the pants that bind us, and free the naughtybits of humanity from the inseamed prison that grips them.

droppin' the pants that bind us
showing our bare behinds, us...

Fes, I'm surprised a well-dressed man like yourself, with your affinity for fancy threads, is joining our pantsless brethren.

Freely air our gluteals!

As long as you bring some Airwick...

Apparently, the movers and shakers don't stop at the pants.

This crazy world: you can now buy a (SFW) Goatse t-shirt.

I refuse to buy a Goatse shirt that is SFW.

It's like drinking near beer; what's the point?

heh. i just bought one.

Incidentally, say hello to babyhowie.

Today is my MetaFilter birthday.

I'm a senior.

CLASS OF '05 RULEZ!

That baby news is just so sweet.

But if anybody had taken that many pictures of me when I was in labor, they'd a had that camera right uppa side their head.

Kinda what I was thinking, tizzie. Not that I've done the labor thing, but I imagine that if that was my husband, the photo "in pain" would have been followed by "broken camera" and "bruised husband."

Oh, BTW aine42 darling, I got my Westerberg* autograph in the mail the other day. As soon as I can bear to remove it from uner my pillow, we'll frame it. Thakyouthankyouthankyou.

*the show kicked ass as well. He didn't do "Bastards Of Young," but he did do "Achin' To Be" "Someone Take The Wheel," and "I Will dare" along with a killer cover of Sham 69's "Borstal Breakout," and Billy Joe Shaver's "Live Forever." (one of my favorite songs, proving once again that me & Paul are two men of like mind).

Yay! Glad that made it to you ok and that it was a good show.

Seconded. He did "Left of the Dial", which was the only one I had to hear. Plus I also liked the "If I Had A Hammer" and "Different Drum" covers, the little switcheroo on "Can't Hardly Wait", and the tight band with the freakin' awesome drummer.

Wasn't he fantastic? He came out and chatted with those of us who were waiting around in the freezing cold after the show. Seems like a nice guy.

Did you also notice that the guitarist bore a slight resemblance to Bobby Stinson? He also threatened the "Freebird," yellers with castration by dull, rusty knife.

I'd just like to say that I downloaded Monty Python's "Spamalot" from iTunes today.

It's great.
