AND THEN YOUR PHONE EXPLODES IN YOUR FACE

so apparently in the same town where the guy went apeshit on the truck, someone also went apeshit in an apartment complex nearby and killed someone. Or overkilled someone...8 bullet wounds...and made off with a boy and a dog. They broke in on the radio broadcast to let us all know he's at large, armed and highly dangerous.
I can't help but wonder if it's the same guy :( I hope they find the boy and the dog in time. Hope the cops can shut his shit down fast. |
Yes but did you phone ever start working again?!
|
|
I'd go just for Rodney :(
My phone seems to be okay now. They found the kid, still looking for the guy. |
Uh, and the dog?
|
I was worried about the dog too :( I never heard anything more about the dog. All I know is that this guy went to his ex-wife's apartment next door to where I buy groceries sometimes, had some sort of confrontation, shot his early-20s stepson 8 times at point blank range in front of mother and younger child, and took off with the child and the dog. Then a couple of hours later he dropped off the child at a house in Indiana and the child was taken safely to police, and the guy is still on the run.
I hope that the dog was dropped off too and they just neglected to report it. Apparently the young man who was killed was a friend of my parents' neighbors. I never met him, though. |
:\
I'm scared of getting murdered if I go to a big city. |
This isn't a big city, though. Very far from it, which makes the whole thing a little odd.
|
Yeah, I realised that after hitting post (no edit for antipodes is unfair!), and I guess my subconscious just saw "big city" as something that stands for "USA/Anywhere but here".
There was a murder here last year and it's still affecting the community. I was distraught at the time :( |
Although it is funny that a nation that was (in popular imagining, at least) founded by criminal castoffs from the British Empire has become so horrified by crime.
There are nutjobs everywhere, and occasionally they kill innocent people. It's unfortunate, but it happens. It's already come out that he's called a psychiatrist after shooting his stepson, which would effectively get him off the death penalty, I think. |

The "anywhere but here" refers to mainland Australia, too. I've been worried on the streets of Sydney, if that helps. I'm just a big wimp really.
|
Zhukov, you need to come party with me in the D.

I remember being in Italy once, on the train, and it got raided by people in police-y/soldier-y uniforms carrying machine guns. I understand Italian okay, but I'm not fluent, so I had no idea what the fuck was going on. I didn't know if they were terrorists or what. They grabbed some West Africans off the train and had them spread-eagled on the platform, pointing the machine guns at their heads. They were purse counterfeiters, or something. As the train pulled away, I expected to hear a burst of machine-gun fire, that was how much it looked like a movie.
Traveling is scary :( I think I've told that story before :( |

I've been to the murder capital of Europe in Glasgow and I wasn't ruffled, but that was under the influence of a woman so it doesn't count. I did almost get my face punched in by Rangers fans, but I didn't know it at the time. |
:hypno |
The problem there was that their exaggerated gestures incorporated machine guns. When I see a loaded weapon, the part of my brain that deals with anything other than "that's a loaded weapon" shuts down :( They could have been speaking in the slowest, most optimal English or French and I wouldn't have been able to tell you what they were saying.
I think this was outside of Milan. It was like 15 years ago, I don't remember. They pulled these African guys off the train and shoved them facedown on the platform with the machine guns pointed at the backs of their heads. It looked like one of those WWII movies where the concentration camp escapees are rounded up, shoved on the ground and shot. It looked exactly like that to my terrified mind, actually. Also, my parents don't speak Italian so they were loudly asking me what was happening, and I didn't have a clue, so that made the whole thing even more frantic and stressful. My brother got yelled at by an Italian shopkeeper for not buying some racecar model. My mom slipped on some steps and fell into the Adriatic sea, and had to walk around Venice with a giant seaweed smear on the back of her white pants. We just didn't do well in general in Italy. Back on more familiar turf, Germany and France, we weren't quite as Griswold-y. Except when my brother insisted upon posing next to a FAHRTGASSE sign in Heidelberg. |
:lol

It's so cold in the D. How the fuck we posed to keep the peace?

First crackwhore I ever saw was in Detroit, at a chicken place I'd stopped at to go to the bathroom. Did a U-turn right back to the car and proceeded to Canada post-haste.

zhukov you can visit and party with me any time, i can show you that the big city isn't scary and you can keep me from staggering into traffic
|
and then i can use your foreign accent and bewildered ways to land us a couple of fat titted platinum blonde forty year olds with black eyebrows and heavy makeup in a dive bar :hifive
|
actually, no, scratch that, we'll land a couple of impressionable twenty year olds in a club by telling them you're an English fashion photographer
|
if they can't tell the difference between an australian and a british accent they deserve whatever they get.
I have a hard time telling a NZ accent from SA though :( |
LIKE A HARD D

Here's a winner:

I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW that i have it on good authority that Zhukov is a softspoken, rakish intellectual and that I am 100% grade A prime beefcake and that they do NOT deserve the greatness that they will get unless zhulov lets me down as a wingman but THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN I'M SURE, THE GUY'S GOOD PEOPLE |
GAH jesus, that woman looks wiggy as hell
|
so whatcha drinkin' tonight, grislygus?
|
I had a rum-melon tonight.
|
nothing tonight, i'm doing a long drive at seven in the morning
|
It might even be too hot to drink tonight >(
|
courrse, last night was a six pack of fat tires during the day, followed by screwdrivers and goldschlager later on that night with the guys
|
I wish that alcohol didn't fuck with me so much these days. Not in a drunk sense, but in a neurological sense. Because a glass of something or another would be nice every once in a while :(
|
neurological? that sucks, at least you can drink o'douls and get depressed over what you used to be able to enjoy
'course, teetotaling is a LOT fucking cheaper, my whiskey collection is like $450 worth |
and that does NOT include the likes of jack, wild turkey, bushmills, makers mark and jameson, which i go through a lot goddamn quicker
|
Oh well, I'll just have to be Designated Responsible Person some more, I'm good at that :martyr
|
If i had a buddy like you my road trips would be less dangerous as hell, i think
|
Except I don't drive. So they may not be as dangerous but they'd be way more of a pain in the ass.
|
i'm a loud, roaring guy while sober so i have loud, roaring friends who remain loud and roaring while shitfaced. i, however, get quiet and need people to point me in a direction and help me walk, which is not a good thing while walking around with loud, roaring drunks, cars do not enter the equation
|
i need to find a somewhat tolerable, geeky guy who doesn't have many friends and start regularly inviting him to drinking rampages because he would be an inexperienced social drinker, afraid to get TOO drunk and feel pathetically obligated to try and watch out for his newfound stupid drunk friends
|
Sounds like that's a good thing.
I went to see an Eagles tribute band tonight because it was free. The city made a big deal about hiring a REALLY POPULAR BAND FROM CANADA, except the stage was a flatbed truck that was all folded out like a shitty Transformer and I watched the REALLY POPULAR BAND FROM CANADA putting on identical black trenchcoat-y things. The concert got rained out but that was ok because it wasn't looking interesting and the band members kept getting distracted by the sign language lady on one side of the stage. |
Quote:
You already know who it is. |
get a little alcohol in GW and he'll start going on about drugs and music, are you sure you want that?
|
god, they have a website.
Hey guys, it's the REALLY POPULAR BAND FROM CANADA. http://www.hotelcal.com/index.php edit: perhaps I'm seeing this wrong, but aren't they from California? Could the perennial events-arranger have mistaken the CA? |

I'm sorry Gus, I usually ditch my drunken friends and rip up the dance floor with fly bboy moves.
Also, I live probably about 20 hours by plane away. |
Everyone's got somethin'. They're tryin' to get some more. They've got something to get up for, but I ain't about to.
|
oaky so then everyone except fathom and zhukov is invited for semidrunk minigolf, a drunken showing of that new predator movie, followed by a bar crawling session that starts at 4 pm can you people handle that
|

I totally would :(
I spent all of yesterday in Put-in-Bay, which is an island off the north Ohio Lake Erie shore. Basically, it's a massive tourist trap during the day and a nonstop party at night. Like, the vending machines in the bathrooms sell 10 different types of condoms and there are entire kiosks devoted to Mardi Gras beads. You take a jetboat there from the shore, drive around on a golf cart all day, and take a jetboat back to your car. I didn't stay the night...looks like spring break never ends in that place. |
I spent all yesterday at Jungle Jim's. I texted a picture to Facebook about how I wished Kitsa would be there.
|
LITTLE GOOD THAT DOES ME :(
NO ONE ON YOUR FACEBOOK KNOWS OF KITSA. |
seriously now I want to go to Jungle Jim's. You suck.
|
I bought seventy dollars in regional soda and beer. There were a ton of perishables I wanted too, but they wouldn't be able to make it back home.
:( |
AND PEPPERONI PRETZEL BREAD, AS WELL AS CANDY BUTTONS. I forgot those. I tore open the bread the second I stepped out of the store.
:breadjunkie |
that's why you get a cooler with dry ice, rookie

dude that's like telling someone you're gonna have to pass on the party because you want to go to the sawdust festival instead |
I still have a camel steak from Jungle Jim's that I need to cook and eat. Also: packets of Crema Catalana and lots of popcorn. I was rather disappointed that they didn't have Gringo Bandito hotsauce in/on their hotsauce wire edifice thing.

weekend of fire's coming up, seth. Jul 31/Aug 1.
|
Thank God that's the weekend after Pierogi Fest!

Whiting? Waaaaaaait a minute.
Please tell me you're not on the IU campus I think you are :( |

I'm on the IU campus in Bloomington. The ladyfriend and I are thinking of making a caravan to see a Friday show at Medieval Times in Schaumburg, spend the night somewhere in the Shoreline area, then eat some serious Polish food. Since my girlfriend is in the Eastern European Studies department, everyone is going crazy over this idea.
I don't know if I consider Whiting as part of Indiana. As I explained to the aforementioned when she moved here from New York, "Hoosiers aren't people who live in Indiana, they're people who live between Fort Wayne and Bedford. North of that you have Chicagoans and to the south is the land of brain-eaters." |
Quote:
Speaking of sandwiches (which you weren't, but Gus was) Dinic's Roast Pork still makes the best sandwich I've ever had at the Reading Terminal BAR NONE. Just make sure you know what the eff you want at lunchtime. Take too long to order, and you have to get back in line. Not for tourists. ;) |
Whiting is part of Chicagoland. It's butt-ugly and brain-drained, for the most part, but Chicagoland nonetheless. If the Chicagoland area were Europe, Whiting would be Albania. OHO THE LINGUISTIC PUN. Or maybe part of Poland.
I was mainly concerned that you were teaching at the Northwest campus, in which case I was going to beg you to get out while you still can. As I don't drive, it's increasingly difficult to get to the jungle :( I mainly have to hop on board other caravans headed south. My dream is to go on a weekday morning, when it's not at all crowded. |
Belarus works, too! And the Pale of Settlement, if you discount how gentile it is.
|
having just watched Frankenhole for the first time...
i hate fanboys of anything but, by god, if this show continues to have me cracking up this hard... on top of moral orel? shit, the man is just so god damned mother fucking cuntswabbingly FUNNY |
i refuse to call myself a fanboy, but at this point i could be termed as a loyalist
|
I just shaved with a straight razor. It's something that I've been on again, off again about for a few years but when my electric broke I figured now was a good time.
This time, I did a pretty good job. From here I guess I just have to practice and make it more routine so it's not as time-consuming. The razor itself belonged to my great-grandfather, who sustained himself by hunting with HIS grandfather's Springfield rifle issued during the Civil War. My uncle had both the rifle and the razor for a long time, he too used the same weapon issued to kill rebels to hunt squirrels. HEIRLOOMS. |
last/first time i tried to use a razor i hurt my face :(
|
I have constant stubble 24/7 and the ladies love it.
Gus, sawdust-fest '09 was a huge letdown, so I would hang wit choo for sure, just don't expect me to get you home/keep you safe. In fact, I'd be relying on you to show me where the fuck I'm supposed to actually go after the party stops. Sleeping in a gutter is no fun when sober. |
THE PARTY NEVER STOPS
