A party broke out at my household and I am treading the thin line between really clever and arrested:
That should keep you busy until I make bail. BTW, in a moment of random candor, I’ll confess that for about a year and a half my will, should I tragically pass the surly bonds of earth to touch the grace of the flying spaghetti monster, required that my entire family listen to Mickey Avalon’s “My Dick.” I’ve since sobered up slightly changed it, but the idea was funny at the time. Yeah. I made that fucking decision sober.

i never listen to my dick sober.

Am I the only one who sees posts like this and immediately checks twitter to see how much John reads like a screaming, slurring drunken frat boy?

John,
Great set list

Dustin, you are not alone.
And it is just one of the reasons why my Saturday nights are kind of pathetic.

Dow over 11600 and not a single post about it from Warren Buffet Cole the most brilliantly ignorant financial analyst of our time.
Can’t image why Cup Half Empty Cole and his typing monkeys would not want to blog about a positive story.
Maybe it has something to do with this brilliant analysis:

That reminds me, I really should get a will in place. Not that I have anything to leave to any heirs, but I want to make sure the epitaph I’ve created for my gravestone is chiseled upon it like the warning sign it is: No Dancing.

Holy shit! Why did nobody point out that La Strada was on?

So I took my kid to get a Halloween costume today (she’s seven), and the store had geisha costumes for girls, ages 4 to 12. What the fucking fuck? Like, WHAAAAAAT? Someone honestly thought that was a good idea?
The baby took her first steps today.

The DOW is over 11600 so I made a burrito to celebrate!

My will is going to demand that my wife Dress Sexy at My Funeral.

Oregon and ASU are having themselves a fine little football game.
For the record, Wales got screwed, but they didn’t do themselves any favors by missing two penalties and a conversion.

@suzanne: What’s wrong with a geisha? Little girls love to be entertainers.

Thread need moar kitteh.

@suzanne: congrats on the lil one being ambulatory…. I guess they were all out of “Mormon trophy wife” costumes then?
suzanne
@piratedan: You joke, but I went as a Mormon one year in high school. All my friends said it was the best costume EVAR.
Dustin
@suzanne: So you wore your magic underpants? Weren’t you nervous about the gnomes?

Obama pals around with ex-cons.

Cole is competent to make legal decisions?
I thought he was Tunch’s ward.
Lysana
@MikeJ: To be fair, true geisha don’t have sex with the clients. But there’s a three-part problem. One is the perception that geisha are hookers. The second is cultural appropriation. The third is how regardless of whether they’re entertainers or hookers, they remain a role devoted to entertaining and serving men in a sexist society. Or at least, that’s how I see it.

COLE, YOU DRUNKEN SOT, YOU FORGOT THE GOGOL BORDELLO.

Speaking of Halloween, I really want to go as Princess Beatrice. Really just because I want to wear The Hat.

Here’s some cute.

@suzanne: cute kids S, hope you had a cooler time up in Flag….. kinda nice to not see the forests on fire this year ;-)
suzanne
@piratedan: Thanks, I think I’m going to keep them.
Flag is always awesome.

Couldn’t you leave a copy of “My Dick” to someone in your will; pity the poor bastard that has to read the will.
Course, if you got your thang done in plaster like Jimmi and Mick, well, it could cause some confusion, I suppose.
Anne Laurie
@suzanne:
To be fair, the costume was probably intended to be Generic Japanese, because Japan was in the news when this year’s costumes were being pre-sold/manufactured. So, ‘cultural appropriation’, yes, but not necessarily Toddlers&Tiaras-level Kreepy Katz…
Since your kid is presumably not dressing up as the Julia Roberts character from Pretty Woman, what did she end up choosing? (She’d make a good Hermione, but it’s probably too hot for wizard robes in your neighborhood… )

Can’t sleep again, dammit. I need to beat this insomnia before I lose my mind. I crash for 2 hours, then I’m wide awake for 3 or 4.
I’m very skeptical of the long term impact of isolated events, but hundreds of thousands of people protesting in multiple locations across Western Europe certainly looks significant. I’m almost tempted to see how the media handles this Sunday morning on TV.
ETA: The NYT just put up a big picture look at the global protest situation:

I would’ve left it.
Fuck y’all, I actually like that song! It’s the best thing Mickey Avalon ever did and ever will do, beeeyotch!!
suzanne
@Anne Laurie:
Nope. The costume was actually labeled as “Geisha Princess”. The feminist in me had a cow. She ended up with an Empress costume.
She was Hermione two years ago, actually. Last year, she was Leela from Futurama. She’s also been an Oompa Loompa and a chicken. The baby is going as a cow.

@Hueso:
Fuck yes, I adore Red Apple Falls. And his recent album “Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle” was on par with his better Smog output. Even his less-awesome output had its moments (ex. “Our Anniversary” on the otherwise-average Supper album).

All I got to say is go go go! You could use a couple more videos to post there. FWIW, Doug asked in a thread last weekend what might be a good weekly type thread, I want to throw in a suggestion for a weekly ‘tutorial thread’… how-to and diy and all that good shit.

I went up to Berkeley this evening to see Cherish the Ladies, an all-woman Irish-American traditional Celtic band.

Obviously late (normal) and noone will see this, but,
I knew there was a reason I liked you, Cole. Great Music.
Just back from friends, beach and disney in FLA, and felt like I was on that line once or twice.

@Lysana: Thanks for the link. I wanted to see them at Bonnaroo, but I couldn’t stay up that late (they went on at 0230).
Hope to see them some other time.
