i popped in occasionally today, between packing boxes, feeding the baby, keeping the baby from impaling herself on sharp objects or falling off of boxes or eating tape, taking pictures off of the wall, and nursing a sick wife.
talking with you people (meaning all of archinect, not just tc) kept me sane and made me feel that i was having some steven time. thanks.
adeline looks beautiful girl. nice street to grow up w/ no cars. house looks like it has great bones. congratulations steven. i just realized i didn't say that yesterday.
i HAVE to be: we'll be homeless for the week between closing on the house and moving in, so i'm packing our stuff to go in a POD, i'll be camping out at the homes of others and doing demo in the basement after work at night, while the girls go out of town to avoid the debris/dust. a lot has to be done to this place even before we can move in.
Yeah, but Bun E. Carlos rocked harder than your typical marketing department guy. And Rick Nielsen played a 5-necked guitar. And Tom Petersson played a 12-string bass.
Argh, that Flame song sucked. She's Tight is an under-recognized pop gem, and of course Surrender is one of the best rock songs ever. IMO, of course.
I feel like a dope: I was at the grocery store for an exciting Saturday night date (aka chatting on my cell phone with my long-distance girlfriend, while shopping sans toddler!) and accidentally bought Horizon "organic" string cheese. I hate the fact that I gave Horizon some of my hard earned money when I hate them and all they stand for. Oh well, at least I bought tomotoes, cukes, and basil fresh from the local neighborhood farm this week!
I remember I sang Surrender at some Karaoke place in Culver City, and as I was reading the lyrics, I noticed that the first verse of that song not only has a reference to veneral disease, but a not-so-veiled heroin reference:
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.
That's not as bad as The Darkness's lyrics for the song "Growing On Me" which is about a well known VD. Here's a sample of the lyrics, the full thing can be found here:
I'm being punished for all my offences
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame
You're really growing on me
(Or am I growing on you?)
You're really growing on me
(Or am I growing on you?)
Any fool can see
Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes, you heard what I said
Similarly, Smoking Popes do a cute punk song about a sweet gal named Rubella:
I'm in love with a girl
She's infected my whole world
She doesn't know it but she's inside me
Rubella, Rubella
I'm inflamed with desire
and it's burning like wildfire
She's explodes like a fist
and she burns from the first kiss
I haven't told her but she's all mine now
I knew somehow I'd catch her
Rubella, Rubella
And the heart that she has stolen
has now swollen to twice its natural size
I've lost six pounds since
I laid eyes on her
Rubella, Rubella
Can anyone tell me WTF is going on in ARE workshop's latest thread? I cannot understand what that man is trying to get at, and then he started insulting JAvier and archinect, and then when I asked him to clarify he started insulting me- saying I was "born to shop, forced to work" which has to be about the most random insult ever hurled at me.... anyways, I'm confused, and need some help in the above linked thread.
ahhhh... I never participated in the random insults thread, so didn't pick up the reference. I remember seeing it on the front page for quite a while though.
Wow that ARE guy is terrible. Reminds me of why I try not to get too involved with those guys. I used to get sucked in. I have to keep telling myself "Just like Per. Just like Per."
haha, yeah for about a minute there I thought I might just be being a real bitch. But then I re-read his posts a couple times and I STILL couldn't follow. He seems to be doing better now, though.
this ARE is definitely not per corel. per may have been annoying with his persistance...but there was something innocuously amusing about his naivete (and just the slightest chance that he may have been—or still is—onto something as big as he claims). combine that with his serendipity of his translations and it made for a classic archinect moment.
ARE workshop is clearly just stepping on some toes
Someone else has mentioned this before, but the names ARE invokes as examples of "IVY-centrism" are great: Hairy Larry, Sussie Backyard, Little Caesar, John and Janna Doe, and Little Jack Horner.
It's funny, because "Jack Horner" was the name of Burt Reynold's character in Boogie Nights.
lb, the "Look, do you want to piss in my mouth?" comment made me laugh so hard that i literally sprayed my computer screen with little spit globules...
ACfA, it sure did. It also had Charles Durning as the doctor (people may remember him more recently as Peter's Catholic father on Family Guy, or the fat eager to please Mayor in Oh Brother Where Art Thou)
architphil, the "piss in my mouth" comment was WonderK, though I had commented on it before, I think here on TC, as one of the funniest comebacks I've ever heard.
Still, launching spit globules of humor against your computer screen is a wonderful way to start your day. I did so on the cell-shaped building thread after reading thenewold's comment - hilarious!
HEY!
what do you guys think about a discussion on the big box ordinance passed in chicago recently?
i think its socio-economic impact is going to be massive and might be one of the most influential (perhaps inadvertant) city planning decisions made in a long time
Go for it, lletdownl! I think there are many here who would be interested in discussing it. I for one have The Box Tank as one of my favorites, though I haven't checked in there recently.
(PS did you get my driving cd? If not I'll send a new one.)
they just passed a nation-wide law here in japan that more or less bans big shopping centres in the suburbs...which is t me an amazing thing for a national govt to decide to do...but there you go.

thanks abra. i'm pretty excited.
i HAVE to be: we'll be homeless for the week between closing on the house and moving in, so i'm packing our stuff to go in a POD, i'll be camping out at the homes of others and doing demo in the basement after work at night, while the girls go out of town to avoid the debris/dust. a lot has to be done to this place even before we can move in.
good night all!
i grew up in debris and dust and look how good i came out!
so i was just watchn a cheap trick video on youtube and the drummer bun e. carlos looks just like a guy in our marketing department or vicey versa...
I'm back.
Yeah, but Bun E. Carlos rocked harder than your typical marketing department guy. And Rick Nielsen played a 5-necked guitar. And Tom Petersson played a 12-string bass.
Cheap Trick is crisp!!!!

Hey, I was the idiot that responded to it and didn't let it die. I'm right there with you.
AP, sorry if I grossed you out. And LB, you're naughty.
no, SBD, it was liberty bell. yours was gross, but more subtly so. lb's was just straight up nasty. s'all good though, they both gave me a laugh...
6pm!@#RE@#! I'm goin' home.
So I've been told, SBD....
rationalist, that is a classic insult for the Random Insults thread to which I am too lazy to link right now - I need a drink first.
Randomized insults suck. It's the personalized ones that make you feel like someone's paying attention.
Ahhh the good things in life...
SBD?! Ha ha I never noticed that! Ok. I am immature. But that is good.
ahhhh... I never participated in the random insults thread, so didn't pick up the reference. I remember seeing it on the front page for quite a while though.

Archinect could make some money on its immersive English program.
ha! way to be on the same wavelength garpike. Didn't even notice the Per comment.
this ARE is definitely not per corel. per may have been annoying with his persistance...but there was something innocuously amusing about his naivete (and just the slightest chance that he may have been—or still is—onto something as big as he claims). combine that with his serendipity of his translations and it made for a classic archinect moment.
ARE workshop is clearly just stepping on some toes
If you want to confuse the hell out of him and throw him off his game, all you need to say is......
(say it with me, friends)
"Look, do you want to piss in my mouth?"
Furthermore, his newest thread needs to be put out of its misery:
not again....
Someone else has mentioned this before, but the names ARE invokes as examples of "IVY-centrism" are great: Hairy Larry, Sussie Backyard, Little Caesar, John and Janna Doe, and Little Jack Horner.
It's funny, because "Jack Horner" was the name of Burt Reynold's character in Boogie Nights.
I know he's not per. But the bad english and irritable threads are certainly a reminder of such.
And SpecialK, I did make the "your mom went to ivy college" comment which confused the hell out of him. I thought it was hilarious, it's a CLASSIC!
Smokety, do you remember Evening Shade?
Oh yeah ... wasn't Marilu Henner also in Evening Shade?
are has the biggest chip on his shoulder i've ever seen. rejection turned to malice perhaps?
lb, the "Look, do you want to piss in my mouth?" comment made me laugh so hard that i literally sprayed my computer screen with little spit globules...
good start to the morning... :)
ACfA, it sure did. It also had Charles Durning as the doctor (people may remember him more recently as Peter's Catholic father on Family Guy, or the fat eager to please Mayor in Oh Brother Where Art Thou)
her, she sure did....well..Marilu Henner is KIND OF an it.
And sorry, that comment was in response to Smokety, not ACfA...where's my coffee?
The heat is making us all loopy...
architphil, the "piss in my mouth" comment was WonderK, though I had commented on it before, I think here on TC, as one of the funniest comebacks I've ever heard.

HEY!
what do you guys think about a discussion on the big box ordinance passed in chicago recently?
i think its socio-economic impact is going to be massive and might be one of the most influential (perhaps inadvertant) city planning decisions made in a long time
does it warrant a new thread?

what is the new ordinance?
they just passed a nation-wide law here in japan that more or less bans big shopping centres in the suburbs...which is t me an amazing thing for a national govt to decide to do...but there you go.
liberty bell, i DID get your CD, im sorry i forgot to thank you for it!
i dug it though, i listened to it at work and was entertained all day, only wish i had a car...
i guess i could listen on the bus... sit in the back... pretend im driving....
thanks again
