Repelling blandomness with randomness.

[Andrew_TSKS]

Tonight me and my friends were at this bar and we met some chick named Marissa. I guess she's playing at the Qwest Center tomorrow night with some orchestra or something. She offered us beejays if we could get her coke. Unfortunately none of us are coke kind of guys.

haha, with the tran-siberian orchestra! insert snow joke here.

and whenever anyone mentions trans-siberian orchestra, i have to mention that they're actually just savatage.

1) done
2) eh, I'd love to do this but 95% of the time when I am leaving I am on my way to work
3) that's a good idea
4) fuck you

The only thing that really scares me about this time of year is how walking anywhere is pretty much At Your Own Peril. I tend to have one gigantic slip-on-ice-and-bleed-uncontrollably-at-the-knees-and-develop-permanent-scars fall per winter. I do not mean to scare you but I would add "get really good boots" to the original list.

Preferably with large spikes on the bottom. You know... for stomping Yetis.

[Greg Nog]

Just keep your center of gravity right above where you're stepping, and bring your foot straight down as it touches the pavement, rather than rolling from heel to toe.  It'll take a bit of practice, but once you've mastered it, you'll almost never fall.

also get some of those ski poles and carry them around with you at all times.

I guess I'm only from NJ/Philly so this isn't the biggest weather change for me, but I'm right out near the lake for my first Chicago winter and it doesn't seem so bad. I kind of expected a bit more from Chicago. Though sometimes I guess I do keep a lot of kids from Minnesota around to toughen me up and convince me I'm not really cold.

Our total accumulation for December so far is 16 inches. SIXTEEN! AND WE ARE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH DECEMBER!

Also, my sense of balance and gravity are "special," and basically I am fucked.

Also learn to fly.

It's only December, though.

There is a website about Hans Moleman:

"I was saying boo-urns."

Morgan, you're the second person I've ever known named morgan

the first one I met when I was 1.  You I met now.  i think its a sign. Is your real name sarah connor?

I meant to reply to this a while ago, whenever you posted it, but then I forgot.  Now I've remembered, but I don't really have anything to say.  Do you still know the other Morgan?  Girl or boy? 

My real name is Sarah Connor, yeah.

In middle school, there was this kid named Ben Morgan and everyone told me I should marry him so my name would be Morgan Morgan.  Funny thing, there was a teacher at my middle school named Tracy Tracy for this very reason.

[FreddyKnuckles]

this girl's last name was "ditto"  so people called her "morgan morgan" get it.


OH MY GOD THIS IS A SIGN THE WORLD IS ENDING

[milesofsparks]

no, it's just a glitch in the matrix.  no worries.

speaking of randomness

fitchburg district court can suck my fucking scrotum sac, i have better things to do at 8:30AM tomorrow than decide some poor fuck's fate in that miserable town and i do indeed plan on doing them.

[das kranke Tier]

Do you guys remember "Sweet Pickles"?

[Andrew_TSKS]

haha yes! i haven't thought about them since i was prepubescent, though.

I got pulled for jury duty last week. They haven't said when or where yet, but I'm not looking forward to it.

[das kranke Tier]

Yeah!  I was dicking around on craigslist and someone's got one of the buses full of shit for sale.  Man, talk about nostalgia.

I also wanted the damn bus full of characters to come down my street...

fuck them. i'm not going to go until i absolutely have to or else i will be fined or put in jail. my original plan was to go in and just say all sorts of terrible things about how the negro must be guilty etc., probably get to leave early if not in a squad car, but i just went to work instead.

i only found out about this shit at two AM, and i immediately sent my boss two e-mails within about 4 minutes, the first apologetically saying i had jury duty and would be late the next day, and the second, well, the first two words are "Fuck them…" and the last 5 are "…and they can blow me."

[dumbfish]

Jeez, jury duty isn't so bad. Grow up. If you blow off jury duty, you don't get to complain about bad verdicts ever again, because you will be part of the problem.
People accused of crimes in this country don't get a jury of peers, they get a jury of people too stupid to get out of jury duty, and that's a tragedy.

[elpollodiablo]

Did you just say jury duty isn't that bad, but that it's also for people too stupid to avoid it?

Anyway, I'm not dreading it that much, but I'm definitely not looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be for something simple.

Really dumbfish the more times I read that post the less I seem to understand what you're getting at

[das kranke Tier]

I really don't mind it that much at all.  Evertime I've ever been called down here I've just sat in the waiting room reading or fucking around online, never actually getting called to serve or for voir dire or anything.
