Inauguration of the 112th Most Frequent Poster (FINALLY!)

[SgtPepper]

You're a tech guy, right. No ladies in sight.


But English guys get all the eye candy. 8-)

:no:

Journalism majors
Sorostitutes as far as the eye can see.

[Dark Sasha]

I would think that guys studying sports science or whatever the crap they like to call it actually get all the eye candy.

It's the study of muscles and crap, and I hate those guys, because when I'm reading in the common room they talk so fucking loud I want to throw the couch at them.

[SgtPepper]

I would think that guys studying sports science or whatever the crap they like to call it actually get all the eye candy.

Most of the gals studying that are pretty attractive.

[MagicGamer]

I'm drunk.

No you aren't.

[chazbot]

I'd watch out. I bet they could throw a couch further/harder than you can. :eek:


Most of the gals studying that are pretty attractive.

Exactly. Doesn't speak for their intelligence or personality, though.

[SgtPepper]

No you aren't.

Maybe drunk on his own power.

[Dark Sasha]

And the fucking student government plays Mario Kart very loud in their room!!!:mad:

[SgtPepper]

Careful, if you bitch you might get hit by a blue shell.

[chazbot]

Hopefully work won't interfere too much with me doing this challenge.

[chazbot]

Quiet afternoon.

[MagicGamer]

I hate Ray.

[Briomega]

:wave: You all everybody.

[jamestolliver]

I hate Ray.

awww, why?

[MagicGamer]

He's mean with this challenge.

[Briomega]

What is the deal with all those avatars people are copying? What the hell is it supposed to be?

[chazbot]

He's mean with this challenge.

Yeah, it is shorter than I expected. Which could be bad since I got stuck on one section.

[Dark Sasha]

I hate these challenges!! WHY CAN'T WE HAVE TRIVIA!

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

I hate Ray.

Ditto that. :mad:

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Yeah, it is shorter than I expected. Which could be bad since I got stuck on one section.

I'm betting that I got stuck on the same section. That part was ridiculous.

[chazbot]

I hate these challenges!! WHY CAN'T WE HAVE TRIVIA!

It is trivia, a lot of trivia, but all combined into one location in various stages.

[leviathan]

What is the deal with all those avatars people are copying? What the hell is it supposed to be?

What do you mean? I haven't seen anything like that...

[Dark Sasha]

Dr. Manhattan's junk?

[Briomega]

Dr. Manhattan's junk?

Is that what it is? :lol: Okay.

[chazbot]

Two items.

1. Holy fucking hell, Total Sell Out by our own Bendis is freaking hilarious and awesome and so needs to be read by everybody....and I'm barely half through it. I'm tempted to start a thread if I knew it wouldn't be derailed soon after. Bendis needs to do more of this. Even if it means replacing himself as the central character with a pudgy, balding Wolverine.

2. I finally finally found my copy of Pavement's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Damn I miss how amazing that album is, listening through it from start to finish. Really, this should be considered their greatest contribution to the tapestry of music.

[Dark Sasha]

I'm waiting for that Icon colour reprint of Total sell out/Fortune and Glory.

[Ray G.]

Hey, Sasha, you got the Big Brother PM?

[Kingsumo]

Is that what it is? :lol: Okay.

Aye, that would be it. I believe it is a TIP thread thing.

I am not sure I know what that is. Is it a comic, or a novel?

[chazbot]

Well, even if you have to get it through the library, read it. So great.
Out of his self-contained independent stuff I've read, I'd go:
Torso
Total Sell Out
Goldfish
Jinx
Fortune and Glory

Though it's tough to put Goldfish at 3. Kind of like 2A and 2B.

[chazbot]

I am not sure I know what that is. Is it a comic, or a novel?

Self-narrative graphic novel. Broken down into bits and stories about himself and others he knows. It's just so sincere and humorous.

I think Bendis has always said he would do another one once he had enough material. And considering how many Hollywood type meetings he's been going to, I figure we should see another one sooner or later.

He said recently he had enough material for another book.

[chazbot]

He said recently he had enough material for another book.

I think that's more in regards to Fortune & Glory. The movie biz is central to that. Total Sell Out is short episodic comics he's collected and pieces about a younger aspiring-to-break-in Bendis. Another Fortune & Glory would be perfect. I just don't know if he could replicate Total Sell Out without feeling like he's gone back to the well one too many times.

[Dark Sasha]

Dammit! I still have to write that review!

[Dark Sasha]

[SgtPepper]

Total Sell Out is my favorite Bendis book.

[NickT]

I think Bendis has always said he would do another one once he had enough material. And considering how many Hollywood type meetings he's been going to, I figure we should see another one sooner or later.
I guess he also needs to give it some time though, as making a book mocking the people he may need to then go to a meeting with might be a tad awkward :)

[Mylazycat]

Total Sell Out and Fortune And Glory are both such great reads. I would welcome a sequel to each.

[Briomega]

Oh wow. I don't know if you all remember this but a few weeks ago I applied for an internship at White House with the Council of Environmental Quality. The head of the council is the top adviser to President Obama on the environment. Anyway I was sure that the positions had all been filled but today I go this email:
Thank you for your interest. We have been absolutely swamped with
emails during the first few weeks of the administration. Are you still
interested in the internship and/or would you be available for the
summer. What hours would you be able to work? Thanks.

What's a good album to compare the new Animal Collective albums to besides Pet Sounds or any Beach Boy album.

Karma Chameleon.

Pet Sounds, really?

:no:

[jamestolliver]

So what do you do if you get in? Plant trees? :)

I think I'd do what every intern does: make your superiors coffee, make copies, take notes at meetings, do research, get shit on.

[Dark Sasha]

Pet Sounds, really?

:no:

There is Beach Boys all over the album, dude!

[SgtPepper]

I think I'd do what every intern does: make your superiors coffee, make copies, take notes at meetings, do research, get shit on.

Congrats on the possible internship. I'm far less motivated to get one, since I have almost no experience in journalism, and I'm something of a hack, or so I've been lead to believe based on my piss poor showing in Newspaper Reporting this semester.

[Briomega]

I think I'd do what every intern does: make your superiors coffee, make copies, take notes at meetings, do research, get shit on.

How does it relate to what you are studying though?

[SgtPepper]

There is Beach Boys all over the album, dude!

I'm not saying it's not an apt comparison, it's just a weak crutch to fall back on. Every band and their fucking mother claims to be influenced by Pet Sounds. Comparing them to The Beach Boys is fine, (e.g. layered harmonies ala the Four Freshmen, lots of different instruments.)

What's another band then. I'm thinking some of the more kiddy Bowie tracks, but I can't use Bowie all the time.

[jamestolliver]

How does it relate to what you are studying though?

I'm going to double major in two of three things: Geography, Political Science, or Environmental Studies. It directly relates to all three.

[SgtPepper]

Grateful Dead. Not really in sound so much, but in spirit, since Animal Collective did Salvia in the desert before recording Strawberry Jam.

The Beach Boys thing can work, I just find it hackneyed and trite when so many reviews compare a record to Pet Sounds.

EDIT: The Flaming Lips and The Residents.

[Briomega]

You can major in geography?

I should just make up a band.

Never. Never.Ever. Make. Up. Quotes. Or. Facts.

Just do some research.

Neil Gaiman was a journalist, how do you think he'd react to finding out that you're thinking of fabricating details for your story?

[Briomega]

You disagree?

Nope. Was just wondering what brought about the statement.

[jamestolliver]

You can major in geography?

The study of geography isn't really capitals and African countries and shit. There are two major fields. Natural Geography and Human Geography. Natural geography is the distribution of natural...stuff: landforms, volcanoes, climates, atmospheric fronts, caves, ecology. It's asks how was this volcano made, what features caused it to form here, and how is it related to other volcanoes. Human geography is the study of the migration of people, the dispersal of ideas, culture, religion, political structures, urbanization, globalization, and resource management. Ya dig?

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Nope. Was just wondering what brought about the statement.

Nothing in particular. There just seems to have been more glaring evidence today.

It is specificly dealing with the spatial distribution of features and factors. You are right in stating that it very much an inter-disciplinary major. What usually happens is that you get a base degree in Geography and then go to Grad school and have a narrow focus. A geologist may be interested in how a land form was made. A geomorphology geographer would wonder how the land form was made and how that compares to other landforms in the region, continent, and world. One particular key term is Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is essentially a multi-layered map. These multi-layered maps illustrate the connectivity between factors that you are studying.

Here's an example:
http://tcla.gseis.ucla.edu/rights/features/3/maps/images/cred_map.jpg

This map shows the potential relationship between income distribution and uncredentialed teachers.

Spatial distribution and the reasons for it are the fundamentals of geography.

By uncredentialed teachers you mean people who don't have a degree or what?

[jamestolliver]

Maps?

Kinda but we also look at things like this

http://www.uni.edu/gai/India/India_Lesson_Plans/India_Population_Pyramids_files/image002.gif

This lets us look at the distribution of age groups in populations in different countries and what ramifications it will have. For example consider labor. In Kenya, rapid population growth means that a large population will enter the job market creating more competitions for job which could help spur the economy by making more specialized jobs. At the same time it could mean that there will be large amount of disagreement over resources and possibly widespread unemployment. Slowed growth in the Unite States illustrates that the baby boomers had less kids then their parents, perhaps because more and more women entered the work force. Negative population growth can suggest a few things: war losses in Germany prevented a large baby boom unlike in the USA, women have entered the workforce, and in years to come there may be too few workers to support the needed health and social care for retired individuals some have theorized the case will be for social security and the USA

[Arion]

Mmm, that makes more sense. :)

And that isn't sarcarsm, is it?

[Briomega]

And that isn't sarcarsm, is it?

No, it wasn't.

[jamestolliver]

By uncredentialed teachers you mean people who don't have a degree or what?

Yes and no. Here is a good quote from a piece about California:


Five years ago, the state reduced elementary class sizes, creating an instant teacher shortage. Policy-makers took the easy way out, eliminating the requirement that one hold a credential before beginning to teach. The new system allows you to pass a skills test, promise to begin a training program and begin teaching without an iota of preparation.

So teacher's used to have had certain training benchmarks before they could teach but due to a shortage many lawmakers circumvented these restriction allowing uncredentialed teachers to be hired often times at a cheaper price. Study after study has illustrate that this is a terrible idea. I think something like 85% of all uncredentialed teacher teach in urban areas- the very areas that need good, strong, skilled teachers the most.

I find almost all holidays, birthdays and anniversary dates of special past times depressing as they cause me to remember too much of what I've lost. It takes a lot of effort to enjoy them. I know that doesn't help but at least you maybe know you're not alone feeling this way.

So Sean Hannity really knows how to spin something.

He played Obama saying the US doesn't torture and then goes on to say there's a report disagreeing with Obama saying that Gitmo people are being handled worse because it's getting closed down. He then disputes that report saying he's interviewed a lot of people and he doesn't believe that happened.

So to recap:
Both sides are wrong according to Hannity when in reality they can't be!! :lol:

[Dark Sasha]

Fixed. And yeah.
:-xHappy Birthday, jerk!

[Briomega]

So Sean Hannity really knows how to spin something.

He played Obama saying the US doesn't torture and then goes on to say there's a report disagreeing with Obama saying that Gitmo people are being handled worse because it's getting closed down. He then disputes that report saying he's interviewed a lot of people and he doesn't believe that happened.

So to recap:
Both sides are wrong according to Hannity when in reality they can't be!! :lol:
But, what does Rush say?


:-xHappy Birthday, jerk!

:D

[MagicGamer]

But, what does Rush say?

He says he can't figure out why women don't like him.

[Dark Sasha]

He says he can't figure out why women don't like him.

Doesn't he want to have sex with children?

[Briomega]

He says he can't figure out why women don't like him.

I thought he was fucking that chick from 24 and Mr. Show?

[MagicGamer]

Doesn't he want to have sex with children?

:mistrust:


I thought he was fucking that chick from 24 and Mr. Show?

Nah, from what I understand she was too nice to say no to him and it was like once. She has a boyfriend/kid now.

[Dark Sasha]

:mistrust:
Doesn't he leave the country to do that?

[chazbot]

Reading Wasteland Vol. 2. Already sooo good.

[Briomega]

:mistrust:



Nah, from what I understand she was too nice to say no to him and it was like once. She has a boyfriend/kid now.

Ahhh. Well, maybe he's doing that housekeeper that gave him the pills or something. :lol:

[chazbot]

Sasha, you need to keep letting your hair grow out.

[Dark Sasha]

Sasha, you need to keep letting your hair grow out.

Yeah I look better with longer hair.

[MagicGamer]

Ahhh. Well, maybe he's doing that housekeeper that gave him the pills or something. :lol:

I'd love it if she was an illegal immigrant :lol:

[Briomega]

I'd love it if she was an illegal immigrant :lol:

:lol:

[MagicGamer]

:lol:

Dude's so insane I wouldn't be surprised by it.

[Arion]

Doesn't he want to have sex with children?

That is a serious accusation.

[Dark Sasha]

Iron Sheik on Spenny vs. Kenny!

"Hulk Hogan is faggot!"

[Dark Sasha]

That is a serious accusation.

Well I don't know. I heard it from Bendis on the Bendis tapes.


We are talking about Rush, right?

[Dark Sasha]

Man, I need a life.

[SgtPepper]

Saw Cadillac records at the Union. Pretty entertaining. Only thing I disliked was the screwed up timeline. They had Muddy Waters meeting The Rolling Stones before Chuck Berry got out of prison marvelling at Elvis, who was a contemporary of his. Not to mention Surfin' U.S.A. being played on the radio before he got arrested at the end of the 50s. The Beach Boys weren't around until the early 60s. Oy.

[Briomega]

Okay, seriously, it either needs to be fucking hot or cold. This hot one day and cold the next shit or worse, hot during the day and freezing at night, is really geting OLD! :-x

[NickT]

Wasn't this a Katy Perry song? :)

Ah, yeah, think I've heard it before. My kids have her album.

[NickT]

Ah, yeah, think I've heard it before. My kids have her album.
You lied about thinking she only did one song! :(



Otherwise I think her stuff is pretty crappy that I've heard, just that one is alright :)

[Briomega]

You lied about thinking she only did one song! :(

The girls seem to like her.

Global PMS?

[Briomega]

Global PMS?

:lol:

[MagicGamer]

:lol:

I'm proud of that one :)

[MagicGamer]

Skaar is a strange book. I'm not sure what to think about it.

[Briomega]

I'm proud of that one :)

You should. :)

[Briomega]

Damn it, Kimmel is a repeat. Nothing's on.

[MagicGamer]

Damn it, Kimmel is a repeat. Nothing's on.

Yeah, there really isn't.

[Briomega]

Yeah, there really isn't.

Even the shit on HBO and Showtime is stuff I've seen already. :lol:

[MagicGamer]

Even the shit on HBO and Showtime is stuff I've seen already. :lol:

I've settled on That 70's Show.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Is no one here when I briefly return?

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

I don't get any of the board jokes, I feel like I'm already out of the loop.

Also Sasha you spoiled The Wire for me in the Lost thread! :-x


I'm not really mad, it's an old show. Just started watching it over break. Trying to get season 2 from the Lewis and Clark library.

[NickT]

Is no one here when I briefly return?

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

That happens?! I was connecting the two shows together!

I spoiled myself!

[chazbot]

Okay, seriously, it either needs to be fucking hot or cold. This hot one day and cold the next shit or worse, hot during the day and freezing at night, is really geting OLD! :-x

I know. It's such crap. Wanted to ride my bike today.

Gotta have the Funk!

[MagicGamer]

Happy Birthday Brio! :D

[Black Roman]

What's the story behind the Hamlet av, Chaz?

And hola Billy-boy and anyone else who may be on.

[Dark Sasha]

I thought that was Jack Black.

[MagicGamer]

Hola.

[Black Roman]

*starts bouncing around*

I'm just a couple posts from 18th!

[leviathan]

I'm just a couple posts from 18th!

Congrats! All hail the prolific and mighty! :)

[I AM GROOT!]

Hey, Billy!

Oh, and since I missed his appearance yesterday, welcome back, Funk! :)

[Black Roman]

Congrats! All hail the prolific and mighty! :)


*starts playing "We Are the Champions" at full blast*


PARTY AT BRIO'S!!!!

[Black Roman]

After rewatching Once I decided to check out Glen Hansard's band The Frames an I'm really digging them right now.

Love Song for Someone.

[chazbot]

What's the story behind the Hamlet av, Chaz?

And hola Billy-boy and anyone else who may be on.

Hmm...let's just say I was feeling something was rotten in the state of Denmark. :eek:


I thought that was Jack Black.

Heh.


After rewatching Once I decided to check out Glen Hansard's band The Frames an I'm really digging them right now.

Love Song for Someone.

Once is so great. I've actually been listening to jazz and big band all day. And I don't know if I'll stay on for long, don't want to burn out on the Board before the comp tonight.

[Black Roman]

Hmm...let's just say I was feeling something was rotten in the state of Denmark. :eek:


And let's just say that you are more right than you'd think . . . :shifty:

[chazbot]

Think I'm going to watch a Woody Allen film or something. Definitely don't want to burn myself out on the board before tonight...and I smashed the crap out of my finger earlier...so typing is already a chore.

[Dark Sasha]

I'm going to watch Stardust Memories after work.

[Black Roman]

Think I'm going to watch a Woody Allen film or something. Definitely don't want to burn myself out on the board before tonight...and I smashed the crap out of my finger earlier...so typing is already a chore.

Scoop!

And while I'm thinking of it, I guess I should confess that I always thought Ken Brannagh's Hamlet was kinda hot in a crazy "I see dead people" sort of way. :lol:


And I must also say that Othello >>>>>>>>>> Hamlet.

[chazbot]

I want to see Stardust Memories. Think I'll watch Radio Days. I think Scoop is a lot of fun, which is all it's supposed to be.

[Black Roman]

I want to see Stardust Memories. Think I'll watch Radio Days. I think Scoop is a lot of fun, which is all it's supposed to be.

I'm in the mood to see Annie Hall.

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Happy Birthday, Brio!

[Briomega]

Happy Birthday Brio! :D


Happy Birthday, Brio!

Thanks guys. :heart:

[Black Roman]

Brio's probably already got his popcorn ready for tonight's endurance comp . . .






. . . that I won't be in. ;)

[Mylazycat]

There's nothing like coming in to work and finding out your monthly bonus is much higherer than you calulated. :boogie:

[Mylazycat]

For Brio:

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[MagicGamer]

"Joe the Plumber" needs to go away and sink into oblivion where he belongs.

He was at a book signing and sold 5 books! :rofl:

Plus he's an idiot that knows nothing about any kind of history.

[Black Roman]

He's like a bad penny, he just refuses to fade into obscurity like he's supposed to.

[chazbot]

There's nothing like coming in to work and finding out your monthly bonus is much higherer than you calulated. :boogie:

My tax refund was over double what I expected it would be...of course, thanks to contract work/unemployment crud, I was expecting it to be around $22. :eek:

[MagicGamer]

He's like a bad penny, he just refuses to fade into obscurity like he's supposed to.

We've had such amazing comments as:

Calling over war reporters telling them they shouldn't report about war while he's REPORTING ON THE WAR!! And how we should only be able to watch it in movie theaters again (ya know, those old propoganda films).

And then recently saying that we should go back to the old days where you could shoot a congressperson because they were saying bad things about the troops... (which no one is doing anyway)

Oh, and plus the whole "I don't know if I'll run for office because I don't think the country deserves me." :roll:

[Briomega]

Brio's probably already got his popcorn ready for tonight's endurance comp . . .






. . . that I won't be in. ;)

Haha. I'm going out to dinner with the family but I definitely look forward to seeing it when I get back. :twisted:

[Briomega]

For Brio:

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

I don't drink much anymore so I'll just have the one and share the rest with everyone else. :heart:

Underage drinking . . . FTW!

[Briomega]

Underage drinking . . . FTW!

Eh, what's a little "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" between friends? :)

[Black Roman]

Eh, what's a little "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" between friends? :)

Does this mean Sasha's our designated driver? :scared:

[MagicGamer]

Ok... Back later!

Gonna grab Subway and go over the grandparents' house.

[Black Roman]

Ok... Back later!

Gonna grab Subway and go over the grandparents' house.

You'd better bring back enough for all of us!

[chazbot]

I got stuff for drinks later just in case.
Now I've got Scratch! on and working on my tracing. :)

[Joe Kalicki]

I bought a new laptop last night! Here's a picture of me trying to figure out how to use the webcam, from earlier today.

Happy b-day Brio. pepper tells me you're 36?

Yeah. :surrend:

:) Thanks.

[Briomega]

Eat anywhere particular?

This Italian restaurant that's owned by a friend of my folks. Was delicious but I either ate too much or too fast.

[Briomega]

Played a bit of FEAR 2 tonight. Was one of my B-day presents along with Star Ocean 4. Holy crap that game is freaky. It's got almost a Silent Hill vibe to it, though not quite as scary as that.

[chazbot]

Yo!

I want some Italian food. Had a big burger for dinner way too long ago.

[MagicGamer]

Poor thread's been neglected.

[I AM GROOT!]

Blame it on the terrible Aaron Carter!
