Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

    The world gets smaller all the time. Tomorrow I’m shipping a box of German 1960s vacuum tubes to a stranger in Ho Chi Minh city. Someone’s got to work on this trade deficit with Southeast Asia.

    yuck. ugly human druids and filthy, ugly goblins. the new faces are worse than the old. I’m just going to level drood/shammy/dk and check out the new dungeons. I just want to work for a game company doing marketing so bad. But I have real world experience, boobs and am over 28. Not meeting the criteria.

    Back on topic. Picking mine up in 4hrs.

    The launch is actually 3 AM EST. My friend is asleep now, will be waking up at 3 AM to get on the game. I just shake my head.

    I’m getting an ad on the left with insanely happy looking people. The ad is for an integrated holistic & cutting edge drug/alcohol rehab center in Malibu. These advertising algorithms are getting better all the time.

    Have you heard about the nappy headed horror thing? I don’t play, so I don’t know if they changed this, but I read about it today in a locked LJ community. Here’s the screen cap if you are interested.

    Dude, were you wearing The Mustache of Understanding when you posted this?

    I just started watching The Town. I think Ben Affleck has found his rightful place (Directing).

    So far this and Gone, Baby, Gone are really high-quality crime flicks.

    @Ross Hershberger: It’s all about timing. The Wall Street crowd just got lots more money shoved their way. After they’re done celebrating they’ll need a little high-end rehab in Malibu.

    Does anyone know of a good method to make you focus or some sort of herbal supplement that will have the same effect? I’m not talking about something illegal when I mention the latter, but rather something that I might buy from GNC.

    I assume you’re talking about that inane cartoon game for little kiddies.

    I’d consider a quick run around if it was midnight EST, but since it’s PST and I gotta be into work by 7:30am EST… that’s just not happening. Getting the shattering two weeks in advance has made me pretty mellow about the actual launch.

    @Brian J: They say Gingko is good for that but I have no idea if it works. Meditation does wonders for focus and concentration but it requires a lot of effort.

    I really started missing Everquest today for some reason. I wanted to fall down the well in Befallen and spend the rest of the night drinking cheap Mexican beer and spamming the GMs to help me get out.

    Yeah…got nothin’. Five more early mornings before I night shift again. And I’m vaguely hungry but too lazy to do much about it.

    Telefunken flat-plate 12AX7 high Mu dual triodes. The basic signal amplification tube of the ’60s Hi Fi industry. Manufactured by the tens of millions and ridiculously desirable all over the world.
    I’m a low-Mu man myself but to each his own.
    I restore vintage audio equipment and sell some parts.

    The hell? You people really are speaking a completely different language.

    Ahem. I thought the Jets were supposed to be a god team? I watched three minutes of the game and was not impressed.

    @Yutsano: You still have a job! YAY. And, you actually get to switch to the night shift? I thought you were joking about the IRS having a night shift.

    Ross Hershberger

    @mr. whipple:
    Depending on condition and type, anywhere from $25 to $100 for used ones. NOS far more. There are millions still in existence. I have scores of ‘pulls’ from old equipment. It’s not uncommon to find a piece of gear where 4 small tubes are worth more than the whole rest of the unit. I have no idea why these are so popular. They’re legendary for some reason. But I’ve tested 100s of tubes and there really is no ‘magic’ there to justify the reputation.

    @asiangrrlMN: 12-8:30 PM. That’s almost exactly what I was working before. And if I can help it I ain’t changing it. And yeah I gots a job for a whopping two weeks. My manager says the continuing resolution isn’t the one we should worry about, it’s the debt ceiling fight. Of course she’s a dual Hungarian citizen so she can bail if she needs to.

    If everything in the state department cables is stuff that everybody already knows, that means we’re paying the state department to do jack shit but read Newsweek, right?

    @mr. whipple:
    For high Mu I’m partial to the Cold War Russian high transconductance video pentodes, triode wired and loaded with a depletion mode MOSFET. Stomps any 12AX7 ever made. And dirt cheap. About $2 each, delivered from Eastern Europe smelling like paradichlorobenzine fumigant.

    Midnight. Pumpkin time.

    have a happy tomorrow.

    Meh, I wish I could play…but they go and release it a week before fookin’ finals.

    GJ, Blizz.

    Thinking of making a Goblin priest, though – PayForPray. He’ll be like a little green televangelist.

    @asiangrrlMN: Mmm…pretty Italian opera singers…in nifty setting…oh wait, what were we talking about again?

    Oh yeah. I’ll ease into things. Like German hockey anthems. The baby polar bear sticking his tongue out near the beginning makes this vid.

    Yutsano

    @asiangrrlMN: I should have cautioned the rest of the vid was rather poorly done. But the baby polar bear was just too much squee not to share.

    I suppose I need to step up my game here. And yes I could get even wronger here.

    PS: Ichiro one thread up.

    TheWorgCollective – worgen Warrior/Engineer, I’m thinking. Nothing quite like advertising geekitude and showing I like Star Trek AND WoW.

    Though sadly my worgen druid will be named Fubear, as I’m too much of a programmer to let that name pass.

    asiangrrlMN

    @Yutsano: I love that version of that song! I love Andrea Bocelli. My current earworm (both versions). P.S. Thanks for the heads up on Ichiro. How he fits in with the Confederacy, I don’t know. Color me intrigued.

    No fair. You posted that before. Come to think of it, you’ve posted this before. And, the ad at the top tells me where polar bears vote.

  77. 77.

    Yutsano

    @asiangrrlMN: The joke itself is the point. I smell a nest of ratfuckers and am using teh awesome that is Ichiro to expose their chicanery. You know I could post the NSFW vid FH #1 showed us. The reactions to naked men singing could be priceless.

  78. 78.

    asiangrrlMN

    @Yutsano: This is true. And, I agree with the ratfuckery. But, I am staying out of two threads up. I have no heart for it. I pretty much stayed out of the thread above, but it’s not too bad. FH#1 posted this vid for me a bit back. I love it, but it’s a bit dark.

    ETA: Go ahead post it. I wouldn’t mind seeing it again.

    And, for Doris who was diagnosis with leukemia, but is doing OK. Not a message–just love this song.

    Kiss, kiss, Doris.

    @asiangrrlMN: Since my bitching about the Seachickens didn’t get me kicked off this blog, I figure I’m probably safe with this. I disavow all responsibility for suzanne’s reaction however.

    asiangrrlMN

    @Yutsano: You linked this before, too. It’s not nice to tease (they have to be gay, amirite? And, the chick is too skinny for my taste. And, those guys look like dolls. Way too sculpted). Plus, this is a bad song. Sorry. Better song by a gay duo. (Plus, it fits my emo mood).

    Geez! Whats with all the ally faction on this blog?

    The goblin quests (as always) are a howl. I spent an hour driving around the goblin capital city with my drunken goblin friends in a hot-rod, inadvertently running over the odd goblin citizen, who would yell “You’ll year from my lawyer!!!”

    See you in the World… of Warcraft!

    I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about, but I want to do whatever it is so I can name my worgen (whatever the shit that is) Worgen Freeman.
