Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians.

Hello Ladies!
What up? Podcast time??
Soon, I’m still setting my headset up
I read that as “headdress” and got excited.
I could make up some kind of headdress if that would please you?
Sculptor, how’re you trying to prove me wrong?
oh, not you specifically. just the existence of God. If i’m boring, and don’t get struck by lightning, no God, right?
Touche. I had forgotten it said that up there.
@Gally
I just installed Ubuntu on my HP notebook. unfortunately, the notebook is dying (reading up on their site it seems to be that the videocard or something is wearing out, the wireless already doesn’t work, but the main issue is that it doesn’t like turning on and part of the time the screen is like scrambled cable porn from back in the 90s).
It looks pretty decent. I’ll probably install it on my next computer and run both windows (for itunes) and it (for basically everything else). It also has some features that look pretty handy (even though I’ve hardly tried it out yet).
I see that there’s a new version of it just out (which I hadn’t downloaded since I’m at home with the slow internets). I’m working on that, but it seems like something that would be good to play around with.
good stuff
the best part is how easy it is to install. Download the file, burn it onto a CD, put it in and restart. That’s about it. Also, it has the option to run the system in Esperanto, which is cool.
haha
Who’s Capt. Mal? He’s sort of cute, in a cat toy sort of way…
Ye gads! He’s only the Captain of the Firefly class ship, Serenity from the TV series Firefly and movie Serenity
never got into Firefly (it was already cancelled by the time I found out about it), and never saw the movie. So i guess i needed skoolin’.
Best $20 you’ll ever spend for the complete series on DVD.
I thought that was Castle from this hit series …… Castle.
Dr. Adam Mayfair from Desperate Houswives?
Or Captain Hammer from Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along
To think he’s been the actor to play two such cult icons as Cpt. Mal AND Cpt. Hammer. He clearly has the Canadian touch.
Also…the wrong Pvt. Ryan. The one from Minnesota not Iowa.
Love Dr. Horrible. I think they’re making a sequel.
Its also on Broadway and going around as a touring company
Hilarity ensues. My FJM post has given bloginwi.com it’s highest hit count since giant inflatable beavers invaded Vancouver.
I really don’t understand the internets sometimes.
Well you did link to your inflatable beavers. Bound to help. Good to see that your site is getting some respect.
Haha. It’s not really for that purpose, but I know what you mean. I’m just amused that the among the highest non-Beaver related days (err…) is that post.
Dude. The Giant Inflatable Beavers post was awesomesauce. Trade on it as long as possible.
I liked it. I put some writing website on blast a while back. I missed a post opportunity, I guess. I’ll stick with posting on death threats I receive for now.
So random. I liked the part about how you couldn’t contact the police as the hit was ordered by one of your friends and that friend would know.
Also, you might be able to get his ip from the email and see if it’s even from in the country.
Alright then, lads?
Si?
*waves* HI!
The story about the kid drinking a white russian was fantastic. The parents admit they weren’t paying attention, so of course it must be someone elses fault. The mother called the police as soon as it happened. Not the paramedics, not poison control, the police, because she was “frightened”, or as my cynical mind thinks, because she was hoping for a payday.
Know what would have happened if myself or one of my siblings had done what that kid did? Get our hand slapped and mom go “See, that’s what happens when you take something that isn’t yours” and then finished up the meal. Course the odds I could have reached the dads drink from the table before he did would have been nil…so there’s that, what with him being able to read AND grab a drink off the table and all.
Haha, exactly. And the whole, OMG WE ATE THERE 28 TIMES A WEEK AND WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*snort* what do you want to be the Rainbow Dragon will be booked solid for the next week because of this? What an amateur that chick is.
For sure
Yeh, the odds anyone touches a drink meant for me is 0.0%.
Gally, liked my reply to Rob’s disclosure over at the Pub, didja?
Yes. Yes I did.
hahaha, he’s going to kill me. but it’s an unwritten rule: if you serve up a fat pitch, someone is required to swing for the fence. and I think i may have just hit a homerun…
Might even have been an inside the park one.
Adios amigos and amiga! Off to help my friend celebrate his birthday by eating steak at Ruth Chris while his parents pay! I feel the need for a wheelbarrow in my near future.
And seriously, how dark were the Dark Ages that Western Civilization lost wheelbarrow technology…..
actually, i’d suggest you’d need the barrow, plus at least one brawny serf to cart your sorry Lordly ass off.
gorge thyself, good sir!
I’ve never eaten there. Do tell us how it is.
Just got done with Rob’s FJM. OOF. I guess your not somebody until somebody FJM’s you. Which is why I still thank Max Gallner to this day.
/wells up
But seriously, I’ll be around much later if anyone is still here. Got an open mic at 9. Adios!
knock ‘em dead, pal.
Best of luck man
Well, let’s be fair. He’s still not “somebody” and I did it for cheap laughs and to hopefully be uninvited to Christmas or something.
oh, well in that case, feel free to lambaste him any/every chance you get, if it’ll help that cause
/loathes holidays
The hammer is his penis.
Boosh!
FML, my podcasting gear is being all Douche McGouche, and though I think it’ll be good once the new headset charges, the little annoying toddler that lives in the place above my computer room is being all loud.
Anyone want to prepare for “Justified” by rocking out to the theme? http://www.sofreshandsogreen.com/2010/03/13/free-download-on-the-run-by-gangstagrass-theme-song-from-justified-on-fx/.
Now if I could only find a free copy for the theme to ‘Damages.’ That’s the balls.
Let me look around. I’m sure I can find it
http://sites.google.com/site/pattie74/WhenIAmThroughWithYou.mp3 I don’t 100% know that’s the final version, but it sounds the same to me.
Bless you sir! You are officially my hero of the day. Everyone should have a hero every day.
You’re very welcome. I seem to have a knack for finding shit on the Internet. If only I could monetize that.
OK, I retract the statement. It didn’t work. It was a phantom file :(
It played on my computer
correction, plays on my computer. Try here http://pattiesrants.blogspot.com/2008/04/vlas-when-i-am-through-with-you-for.html when you click the download link, it’ll take you to a second page where you click to download
My bad. I clicked on an earlier misdownloaded version. It does work. Like I said, my hero of the day.
Blerg. I need a sugary, tasty, chocolaty treat tonight.
That, or the Blackhawks game’s making me exra nervous tonight.
i just consumed a sugar-free klondike bar. and no, i didn’t have to do anything for it, either.
Yeah, I should have picked something like that up. I’m gonna settle for some pretzals when the hockey game starts.
New Hold Steady tomorrow. Yay!
New Broken Social Scene and New Pornographers tomorrow. Double Yay!
Apparently it’s just Official Awesome Music Day.
Gah, I know nothing of modern music
http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2010/4/30/1451803/we-are-notre-dame-whoa-oh-oh-omg
I will not be Rick-Rolled into that one again.
Woah, lookie what we got here. Nobody else seems to be able to figure out how to post links and stuff. Hmmm
I know how. I’m just fucking lazy.
after reading the play-by-play, i’m not stupid enough to actually play the video. edsbs should be thanked for his sacrifice in order to provide us with some humour, though.
Hey Gally, you still here? Got a question for you.
I sent you a DM on teh Twitter.
Yeah I’m a go for that
awesome.
Fuck a Monday. Fuck a flood. Fuck an everlasting oil spill, fucking up some ecology.
Fuck, I need a drink.
What you got?
I’m currently debating; the last Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout in the fridge, or a Crown and diet coke, easy on the diet coke?
I’d go with the Crown. Pack a better whallop, faster.
I concur. Here’s to all the shit we didn’t accomplish today – we’ll have another go at the motherfuckers tomorrow.
Gotta pay the dues if you wanna sing the blues, and it don’t come easy. Forget about the past and all your sorrows, the future won’t last, it’ll be over tomorrow.
The wisdom of one Ringo Starr seemed appropriate here. Though it could be the Chimay followed up by the Walker Blue talking here.
I concur. Tougher to blog on though, if that’s a problem.
since when does blogging have to make sense? drink up!
Well there was a time in the recent past, perhaps real recent, where I was having a few drinks whilst putting down some bloggage. Instead of the usual beers, it was was Whisky and it ended up with shambles and non bloggage.
At Old King Clancy, huzzah!
Cavs/Celts game JUST got VERY interesting. And for a non-basketball fan, that’s saying something.
What happened?
Cavs scored 15+ unanswered points before caving in to the inevitable.
dirty
okay gang, rack time for baby. catch you lot tomorrow!
