Wold is only saying that because I supported him in his bid to attend obedience school ;)
Wold = wolf. *Damn fingers*
Damn skippy?
Damn Yankees?
Ok. This made me laugh. :)

Well me and obedience school didn’t work out and TEB had to bail me out…

I love the line “Every family has an idiot. If you don’t know anyone in your family who is an idiot, than guess what it’s you”
I have to admit, until this point, it never even occurred to me to even think about what size Spiderman’s … is.

Consider yourself lucky, Wolf. Usually the first step in getting an animal to behave better is a trip to the vet ;)
The plant floor scrubber just when by our door and I think I figured out has rubber solvent it uses. Alcohol. It has to be. It works so well on wallets…
CP: TSO Christmas in the Air
has = what
It is to cold in here now that i don’t have 10 pc’s running near by. and my fingers don’t work well in the cold
J0e…. Lo Pan was talking bout her http://www.riesetheseries.com/html/index.html
My iTunes seems to be immune from the troubles others are getting…
Lo Pan – woof
JB: I have no problem with iTunes either, but I also keep it up-to-date. In the past when I have had trouble, unsubscribing and then resubscribing has usually worked.
CP: Hammer and a Nail — Indigo Girls
So, we are all going to call in to Jack with our favorite books?
J0e – you mean “wolf”.
Big Book of the Black Blood: Of the Earth
The weather lady said it’s going to get to -20 tonight. What’s that about?
Lo Pan – I saw one of those as well.
ditto – favorite of the year!
Sadly … I have managed only 1 book this year. Trying to slog my way through a second. I DID manage to list to a bazillion short stories, courtesy of the “Escape Artists” folks. :)
I want to move to my computer but my kitty is all curled up and looking way too cute on my lap. I’m torn.
Meow
:)
Ditto get off Bunny’s lap…
Kitty won. I think I’m falling asleep too. Maybe it’s nap time. *yawn*
A ditto curled up in a bunny’s lap?
So hey, going way back to that list of movie turds of the decade – - “The Butterfly Effect” was surprisingly pretty good. Disturbingly dark.
BLC big hint time…
1) Well, the album is named for a place near a bunch of amusement parks in the past.
3) This song seems to be about fortified wine.
I kinda liked “The Butterfly Effect” as well.
Creepy and disorienting. Not your standard film … which undoubtedly doomed it in the box office.
Okay for BLC #1 Artist is Herb Albert and the album is “Coney Island”
Apparently I pushed it too far with that joke.
My nose started bleeding as I submitted the comment. My first evah nose bleed.
That will teach me to mock the god of mid 1960′s incidental music.
Joe, you might think so, but why is one of the multiple hometowns Essex, England?
Sorry, I would have never gotten that one in a million years, JB. Not even if it had been on the “Whipped Cream and Other Delights” album.
er, if J0e’s guess is correct.
Ah, and here I was hinting along seriously.
The lyrics on a Herb Alpert album are a bit slimmer…
Yeah, I’ve been having no success with JB’s broken lyrics. I think I only kinda sorta remotely recognized one in the first set.
for your caloric viewing pleasure
http://www.onamrecords.com/WhippedCream.jpg
I’d start picking easier ones except I actually use shuffle to pick them. Whenever I listen to songs now, though, I listen along and choose which line I’d use for BLC.
Don’t pick easier ones, JB! I’m enjoying the contest. Its fun to have a “WTF?” moment when listening to your choices. :)
I really am trying to play along. Honest.
So far, I’m just coming up blank.
My apologies to those too far west to obtain the main ingredient…

Joe, you may want another look at #3 of the BLC…
They’re springing a meeting on me at 3:30 (15 min). Deep breath, I’ll see you all afterward…
OMFG! Lo Pan will do anything…. ANYTHING… for the one who buys Lo Pan THIS
http://www.thegoldencloset.com/merchant/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TGC&Product_Code=A0171&Category_Code=
I wonder if he can sue:

Spooky. Good luck JB
… and as for the #3 BLC , you’d THINK I would know that one … but I had to google The Artist’s discography to find the answer to your clue … and it is one that I never bought (though I do have some of the cuts for some reason … just not THAT one).
Once again I had an inkling after your first clue but I want to guess from just the lyrics so I didn’t use the intertubes to check it out … until just now.
NS: Me, too. All my novels consist almost entirely of dialog, including this year’s. Perhaps I’ll use Google Docs next year.

RE: Matrix: Revolutions
<Agent Elrond: It seems that you’ve been living two lives. In one life, you’re Frodo Baggins, a respectable Hobbit of the shire. You live in a Hobbit Hole, have a fondness for ale, and you… help your uncle care for the One ring. The other life is in adventures where you go by the wizard alias “Mr. Underhill” and are guilty of virtually every adventuring crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.
RE: Dogs VS. Cats
Why anyone would want a dog over a cat NS? Pretty easy, really: Unconditional love/affection. Cats require you to feed them, clean their litter boxes, and then when you’ve done all that, they may (at some convenient point during their preening schedule) allow you to pet them. If you have a dog, you can kick it through a hedge and it’ll still want to play catch and look forward to your interactions.

JOe: I’m playing catch up, so I don’t know if anyone already posted this:

‘Cept Keifer, in his own special way, doth sparkle brightly.
RE: “The Butterfly Effect”
This movie was a whole lot of Awesome… Until the home release to DVD where they supplied the original ending as written… Teh SUCK… The theatrical release was magic.

You know who’s the anti-sparkly? Christian Bale!
“Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was ——- good, because it’s useless now, isn’t it?”

WHIPAHOL !!!!!
That opens the door to a whole new realm of naughty fun!
Whipahol FTW!
Lejon: I only saw The Butterfly Effect on DVD. I really liked it, and I thought the ending was excellent. What was different in the theatrical version?
In the theatrical version, Ashton Kutcher – along with Fez, Donna, and the Seth Green character – all take a drive to Milwaukee for Cheap Trick tickets but find that thier actually in 1990′s Seattle where Cheap Trick is in fact Depeche Mode.
thier = theyre. Lo Pan knows Engrish.
Emma Watson is, at 19, already a rich girl cum whore. That being said, Drew Barrymore was at 14 and Lindsey Lopan at 16… so mayhaps we’re on the right track.
*no Emma Watson’s were hurt in this post*
Like Johnny, I also only saw the alt ending DVD.
Emma Watson what?? I must be really behind on my celebrity gossip.
Well now instead of “Duplication Lead” I am “Print-On-Demand Coordinator.”
May even be better than a lateral transition, other than the fact we have yet to take delivery of the Print-On-Demand machines…
Do you need a towel to mop your brow, JB? Congrats on the new title!
Lo Pan exaggerates. Lo Pan is jaded and jealous. Lo Pan eats Chinese (stop) and drinks beer now.
JB, Congrats one the new title! sometimes I miss working at a printer. I worked on a press at http://www.qg.com/ . so the closest I came to coordinating was making sure I got the paper stacked right on the pallet, rolls set right or paper pulled through the web correctly. the main reason I miss it is I didn’t have to think to much when compacted to an IT job.
“Lo Pan eats Chinese (stop) and drinks beer now” (DON’T stop)
JB – do you get a staff? If so, make sure you get the cruel and ruthless lackies that will unquestionably follow your every spoken whim … laws of man, nature and physics be damned!
(They do have those where you work, don’t they?)
Work. Boo.
Joe: Are you suggesting JB will have a staff infection? ;)
JØ: The differences are as follows:
the original DVD release shows the Ashton Kutcher character committing suicide IN THE WOMB, using his sonograms to travel back that far.
the theatrical release had a slightly happier ending, where Kutcher travels back to a childhood birthday party where he met the love of his life and told her he hated her. Flash forward years later, they went their separate ways, never to get together in the future.
Computer question: what’s the best way to resolve a memory issue on a MacBook? External hard drive that holds iTunes and photos? More memory?
I’m a giant techtard, so speak slowly please.
EssBee, when you say memory issue (and I apologize, but I’m a PC guy) do you mean storage (full harddrive, non-responsive harddrive), or performance trouble (slow accessing files)?
EssBee: “Work. Boo.” I second that!
Jejon, that version sounds way better. in the past i have told friends that something had changed from the theater to the home release or movies now and than but no one believed me. now I have proof I’m not crazy… well at least in this case
I was trying to install updates (iTunes, Safari, etc), and it says:
Your hard disk does not have enough space
2.7 GB is required to download and install the updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your startup disk, then try again.
On the memory issue … oh, wait … I forget.
man, i wish i didn’t have laws of man, nature and physics at work. *pout*
Okay, smarmy answer out of the way…
I have just gone through the process of putting all my iTunes audio files on an external hard drive that is hooked to and accessed through my wireless router.
If done properly this process is a piece of cake. If done incorrectly, which is the way I did it, you will want to use Lo Pan’s method of traveling back in time and killing yourself in the womb.
EssBee: You have a storage issue. Your harddrive is out of space to hold more stuff.
Possible solutions:
1. Delete some stuff (check your trash can and see if it’s holding stuff. If it is, empty it and see if that helps)
2. Get an external drive of some sort and move some files to there. Then delete the duplicates on your main drive.
3. Don’t update (not recommended)
(that was “my” smarmy answer BTW. The rest of you may smarm on)
BTW – I skipped right over the short direct answer to your question.
Yes, get 2 external hard drives. (One is for your media files and one is to be used as back up for these files).
you guys are brilliant. Emptying the trash *blush* worked for now. Hard drive next.
Lots of disc space is always good.
Lo Pan has huge “disc space”…. *wink nudge wink*
Damn you all and your interesting days worth of links that I am compelled to follow. Delicious is liable to revoke my bookmarking privileges here soon :)
My turn to catch up.
Here goes..
Please fasten your seatbelts and keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle.
Or let them flail about. I really don’t care, actually.
Best Worst Movies…
The only one I’ve seen was Battlefield Earth. The book was far and beyond in another realm of better.
Bunny,
Yes. I would like to suck your lollipop. Please purchase a new one.
Van,
You should also tell Bunny to get a new lollipop.
Favorite book…
I was going to say Spherical Tomi because I read it a couple times, but then I wasn’t sure when I actually read it, but then I remembered that it was in January.
So I choose Spherical Tomi as my favorite book from this year because I had to wait so long for it and it was totally worth it! :)
Are you still holding on tight? There are more things I have to say.
Keiefer Sutherland = one of the VERY few blond men in this world who could sending me running off to my bunk. He was so fricken hawt in Lost Boys…
*swoooooon*
I need some Whipahol right.now.please.
It’s going to be a long night.
I apologize in advance for any further ramblings while I sit here and begin creating spreadsheets and other work-related things.
I’m flailing about. (Thank you, Cj) I hope the night isn’t too stressful.
I was just passing through to grab some nipples. Er. Comments.
Stressful?
I suppose that depends whose nipples you are grabbing because “grabbing” is painful!
Why not just gently squee… err… uhm :oops:
Back in about 18 minutes..
cough
I may never come back.
OK, just 10 more minutes.
I’m getting pretty lonely in here with all my nipples being ignored.
And hey – I apologized in advance for my ramblings.
I’m just sayin’
I was pretty hawt in Lost Boys too.
No, seriously. I’m actually in it. Specifically, the opening overhead shot of the Boardwalk. If you have a reeeeally big TV and good eyesight you might be able to see me. If nothing else you can definitely see where I was working at the time. That was a fun summer.
dreadpirate, Hi!
That’s amazingly awesome!
I bet you were just as hawt, if not hawter than Keifer.
Especially if you aren’t blonde.
Lo Pan declares….700
Lo Pan is sexy.
I’m covered in hives from weird-ass stress.
Yeah, I said, “ass” what are you gonna do about it? It happens.
So I took Benedryl. It’s kicking in.
Compliment mode engaged.
I will be insanely sweet and nice for the next 15 minutes before I pass out.
Sign up for kisses, hugs, compliments, or whatever. But hurry before time runzz… out…z..z….zz ZZZZZ collect… *yawwwwwn*
hmmm what ? hmm? what was I doing? Saying?
I’m not blond. And I’m also not as hawt as Kiefer. At least that’s what my girlfriend at the time said — and I guess she would know, since she had met him during filming of The Brotherhood of Justice a couple years before Lost Boys.
