Pistols at dawn, Darkbloom.

No beef here, sir.

I like that Junior Varsity Cypress Hill single "Rap Superstar." There, I said it.

Sky's a corpse's yellow and thunder, a smear of storm across clouds. "Here it comes," she says and starts to fold her towel. And I was hoping to get a tan.

For the first time in 15 years I'll be DJing a bar gig. When: Thanksgiving Eve. One of the craziest bar nights of the year. I'm gonna set up early to avoid the hassle of the impending crowd...around 4pm. Then I'll just play for 10 hours.

Hey gang,

So I rarely ask for anything too substantial out of all of you swell internet people aside from some porno passwords and maybe an album to download, but it's time that Hewletts Daughter asks that you, the fine people of the Sound Opinions Message Board, give back.

You see, I am working with DonorsChoose to raise money for underfunded elementary schools around the Chicagoland area and am looking for any of you swell cats to donate some money. I know that times are tough for a lot of you, financially, but donating even a few bucks will helps these kids get shit they need, like staplers and notebooks and computers so they can then browse the SOMB during their classes. Don't you want to help fund the next generation of internet geeks hear Vampire Weekend and stuff?

To show my support for this cause, I'm required to grow a mustache. Now, if you know me, you know there's nothing I like more than my beard. Having to be beardless for 30 days sucks. And having to have a mustache sucks even more. So clearly this is a big sacrifice I am making here. Clearly..........

So please, click on the link below and please, SOMBies, please donate anything you can. It honestly would be greatly appreciated by me and a whole lot of kids who need things and stuff.

Sincerely,
DereK

ps...I'm being totally sincere here, folks. Help out if you can. It would be so great of you and I would high five you for your support.

HD,

i too am in the giving mood this season. I just presented my boss yesterday w/ info w/ the charity i regularly work with" City on a Hill in Milwaukee. Hopefully my firm will make a donation as it is hard times now and people are donating less.


I will donate to your cause, as long as i get a picture of you and me with your silly mustache.

am i supposed to add to "There Goes My Great Idea?"

Deal.

I plan on taking photos of my mustach'd journey to detail my disgtusting progress.


I think so. I think put in a dollar amount you want to give in one of those boxes and then click something and follow instructions. I dunno. I haven't tinkered around with it yet. I probably will tomorrow once my check goes through and I feel like throwing money around frivolously.

The Sea and Cake on NPR. Christ, what a boring outfit they are/were. That's that Archer Prewitt cat, right? All their tunes sound the same - like people clinking tea cups or a toilet paper commercial - inoffensive...like if you drew their music it would have exaggerated eyelashes like a cute cartoon puppy.

wrong

Read all the stuff about the three kids that they fished out of Camp Algonquin, which makes it the second fatality thing that they've had happen to them. A while ago, the woman in charge of their high ropes course fell from the course and died upon impact. It's why a lot of camps and things no longer have ropes courses. The insurance premiums shot way up, plus this is one of the people who helped write the book on high-ropes in relation to team-building activities.


About 6 years ago, I was employed by NIU to take teams out on their team-building course. One of the activities involved swinging on a rope (you got maybe 3 feet off the ground) to a platform. There was one girl who didn't want to, but finally got talked into it. She fell from the rope and landed on her back. No biggie (she just had the wind knocked out of her), but she tried to get up too quickly and passed out for a moment. I don't know if I've ever been more scared. She was fine, but whenever I would go back out on that course, I always had the image of her passing out and her eyes rolling into the back of her head.

Okay, that was quite an idiotic display tonight.

My computer is fast! Finally! Finally fast dot com!

I do not like the McRib.

I however, adore the McRib.

POST COUNT GO UP

POST COUNT GO UP

i just ate that the other nite
it was tough to pass up the double cheeseburger though. I'm probably switching back as i can't turn down $1 dinners

I typically forgo the double cheeseburger because I can't really afford it. Not sure why I haven't stepped in front of a green line train yet.

Why the fuck do they put a pickle on a rib sandwich?

And what's with the fake bone thing?

McRib sucks.

whoa.

i just had a conversation about this exact same thing apparently right after this was posted.

the fake bone in mcribs.

do you work in the office next to me, bleep blop?

I want Samuel L. Jackson so I can hear "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on motherfucking Air Force One!"

I hate taking a piss when my hands are cold.

Then find someone with warm hands to help. Duh.

I don't use hands, just pull down and shit jumps out like it really had lungs to fill with oxygen.

Or sit down.

"ENGLISH, motherfucker, do you SPEAK IT?!"

can't find the correct place to post this so here it is:


LAST THURSDAY I SAW THE ACTOR'S THEATRE OF LOUISVILLE'S
opening night of RAISEN IN THE SUN
good show, whatever.
but the important part of the story:
I SAW THE SHOW AND WHO WAS IN THE AUDIENCE? BUT WILL OLDHAM!
saw him walk past me before the show and i thought:
wow he has a will oldham beard.
and then i sat down for the show and my girlfriend's friend goes:
oh look Will Oldham's here tonight.

so no only does she know of him
she KNOWS HIM
he dated her old boss and naturally he's really weird.
didn't talk to him since i was reduced to a little tween seeing the jonas brothers at that point.

l-r
Will Oldham - Bderty

only in the middle of the night when i can't see and stuff. much safer that way.

Spineless turdhuckers in the senate.....when are they gonna get a backbone and toss traitors like Lieberman out the window, head first?

I hate politics.

I got kicked out of my class last night for what I'm going to claim as keeping it too real (he wouldn't defend his point that Daily Show/Colbert can't be considered "news." I was trying to start an actual conversation to get an answer out of him). Right afterwards I sent an email to my instructor apologizing because I legitimately felt bad because I didn't think I was disrupting class, but I kind of saw that he had a point. So I type up this page and a half email, send it off to him, and feel better and more responsible. Then twelve hours later, this is all he sends back:




I guess I didn't keep it real enough.

THUG LIFE! bark! bark! Wu-Tang!


(but seriously, I'm still holding out hope that at the very least, the rest of the class who don't really care for this guy either will see me as a real american hero)

You did the respectable thing
this guy be a punk-ass bitch

Make him flinch

He's, of course, right, but still.

Think Supreme Court. Joementum is staunchly pro choice and we may need his vote when replacing Stevens and Ginsburg. Joe is a traitor IMHO, but he can be a useful tool. Some nut jobs on the left are willing to obliterate the party to get Joe out (see DU, Kos).

I would like to find the person who got in to my bank account and spent around $2,000 on Delta Air tickets and I would like to smash their face in to a jelly. Or shove them down a deep, dark hole.

Ugh. Credit card fraud suuuuucks.

remember i told you i was going to Atlanta?

well what i forgot to tell you (on purpose) is that i'm flying there first class on Delta!

and i didnt spend a dime of my own money, thx maaan!

I ran over a turtle today with my car. I was driving, minding my business, when I saw a firetruck in my rearview mirror. I calmly pulled over to the side of the road, and I noticed a turtle. Luckily, I saw it before I hit it and got out of the way. As I waited for the firetruck to pass, I wondered where the turtle was underneath my car. As I pulled away, I heard it explode. Poor bastard.

Jesus that's awful.

NEW ANIMAL COLLECTIVE SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, that's exactly what Joe is; a soulless TOOL...pffftt.

Macho Man Randy Savage sure has aged over the years..........

u liar, that isnt him

is anyone else watching the unc kentucky game? the board needs a new basketball thread.

My brother and I finally won the ncaa ticket lottery for the Final Four. I couldn't be more excited for this.

wow, thats pretty awesome. congrats.

Grande Pike Place's keep me wired too late into the evening when I have one at 6pm.

Dear _______________________________________,

You don't interest me. I stopped by for a moment to see what was going on. You're never going on - not on your best day. Please stop speaking to me, now and forever, yes? Thanks so much.


Brainstorm - your superior in every conceivable way.

For some reason, your avatar makes me think of Dean Hodes from Weeds. In my opinion, one of the funniest people on that show. In conclusion, I read your posts and picture him saying it. Awesome.

Does everyone spend the majority of their first year here thinking Montana may well be interesting and canny at the core of all that troll? I swear to God, one more comment about how awesome the new G'n'R is and I'll start using "ban me if I talk to Montana" as a sig.

No, but it is a common affliction.

Good to see you recovering.

Holy shit! Apple's at $86.

Go, don't stay, just throw it all away.
There is you and then there is your body .
