883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 30,August,2002 | Highlights? No highlights. The show sucked. Sorry, Jimmy. However, Michael Jackson was awarded a birthday cake from one of the village people. That was pretty cool. Sorry if I'm a little crabby today. I had a run in with our infamous receptionist today. Grrr. I thought that Christine had the all-time worst relationship with a door-hostess, but ours puts hers to shame. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 29,August,2002 | Will someone please tell me about the highlights of the VMAs? You're killing me here! Sorry I can't make it to MN this weekend. I need to help Billygoat move the rest of his stuff to Cleveland. But a trip is somewhere in the near future...I can see it now: Hal, Stoner, Bobo, and DJS enjoying a nice cold one at Lee's Liquor Lounge. That sounds like my kind of dream weekend. As long as 2 Tix plays something by Styx, of course. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 29,August,2002 | Oh, one more thing: Panda, if you come to MN, then I can meet you! I'm guessing that will push it right over the top! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 29,August,2002 | I went to the State Fair last night. Here's what I ate: 1/2 order of Australian fries (with ranch and cheese; served by folks who talk like Aussies), 1/2 order of cheese curds, one entire root beer float, a medium sprite at the food barn. Can I gripe about a few things though? The swine barn, cattle barn and sheep barn were all closed for cleaning to bring in new animals, so I did not get to see my favorite part: the champion (pronounced champine) hog. But the state fair people still made me pay my full eight dollars to get in! How does that work? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 29,August,2002 | Hey, Panda... yet another reason why you should consider a last-minute trip to MN - MTV will surely be re-running the big show all weekend long! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | It's nights like tonight that I wish I had cable. Will someone please fill me in on the details of the VMAs tomorrow? Great. 'preciate it. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | I heard that tonight P. Diddy is throwing the greatest party of all time after the MTV Video Awards. Out of the 1500 people on the guest list, I wasnt invited. *sniff, sniff* urlLink |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | Last Christmas, Hal gave me a few calendars. One of them is a 'Perpetual Postcard Calendar' from the Tate Gallery. I just thought I would share the description of one of the more unique postcards: 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View' Garden shed and contents, blown up for the artist by the British Army. Of course, this picture isn't as interesting as 'Misty and Jimmy Paulette, NYC' -- two drag queens in the back of a cab. 'Zagi' is a painting of a naked lady stretching her calves against a wall, as if she is about to go out streaking. 'Swingeing London 67 (f)' is my personal favorite though -- it's two guys on a bus, shielding themselves from the paparazzi. And that's the story of my perpetual postcard calendar. Stay tuned for more exciting posts...it's a slow day, and I have plenty to say. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | Don't even try to pretend you don't love it, DJS. I can read right through you. I am glad I won't have to listen to the theme music anymore after next week, though. But I can't wait for the big finale -- THREE hours of American Idol in ONE WEEK! Luckily, I have the VMAs to tide me over. I'm such a teeny-bopper. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | American Idol...what the %@#? I got suckered into watching the end of it and I so wanted that microphone..er, I'm sorry...Justin to go. I can't stand the look of that guy, let alone his butchering of every song he gets his Michael Jackson-esqe hands on. I'm in agreement, though, Panda. Nikki can't sing and it's clear that Kelly really should win, since she's the only one that's been consistent enough (from what I've seen in the recaps) to belt out something somewhat decent week after week. So alas, Nikki is gone. While she was easy on the eyes, her yodeling left much to be desired. Call me crazy, but I don't think we've seen the last of her. If she doesn't end up in movies or get her singing chops up to par, I'd be damned. Honestly, I can't wait until the show ends. I'm tired of hearing that dumb theme music and seeing that bug-eyed brown-haired idiot nodding every time the Poor-man's Brad Pitt says anything. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 28,August,2002 | Whoever said I originally let him go? So I never told you all about my brother's wedding. It was a blast, but nothing happened that would shock many of you readers out there. Some people drank too much, my brother did a hilarious dance to 'get' the garter, my mom complained about the photographer eating dinner at one of the guest tables, etc, etc. After the reception, a group of us, including my bro and Sylvia, all went to Sylvia's parents' room to drink Polish vodka, meat, and pickles. Those Poles sure know how to party! Her mom was dragging everyone at the reception on the dance floor during the Beer Barrel Polka...and when the DJ played 'Believe' by Cher. American Idol: If Nikki doesn't get the ax tonight I'll have to seriously reconsider taking up a career in the music biz. It's obvious you don't need talent. It seems to me all you need is a belly-button ring and some really shiny lipstick. Heck, I can do that! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 27,August,2002 | I hurt my back this weekend, and have been a gimp ever since. Old age is sad. Yesterday I went to a Dr. Feelgood (if you can call a geeky urgent care doc whos never been alone in a room with a girl before Dr. Feelgood) and got some drugs. A muscle relaxer, to be specific. My only experience with this medication prior to yesterday was watching Samanthas older sister in Sixteen Candles go nutty on the stuff. Taking just one makes me feel pretty high, I can only imagine what several would do. I mean, other men have loved me, but not for six whole months in a row. By the way - can we can the Rick talk? It took Panda a long time to let him go. We don't need to dredge up the past. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 27,August,2002 | Not to worry, Shovel. Even the best of us are drawn to Rick. I am especially glad they have a countdown to the release of his new greatest hits album. Only 4 days to go. In other music-related news: U2's 'Stay' just came on the radio. I am in heaven. Not to say I'm comparing Rick to Bono, but... |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 27,August,2002 | I can't believe I actually clicked on the link to that Rick Astley website . I feel tainted. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 27,August,2002 | Stoner suggested I open something up to this forum we call Pandyland. I need song suggestions for my wedding reception. Anyone out there been to a wedding lately and thought, 'God, if only they weren't playing 'Baby Got Back' I'd be having a good time...' -or- 'This is the BEST! I LOVE Mr. Mister! I could dance all night!!' So bring it on. What songs do you think could make or break my reception?? By the way, there is no guarantee that Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is NOT going to be played. Rick is urlLink hot . |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 26,August,2002 | Uh oh. urlLink They're on to me . |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 26,August,2002 | urlLink urlLink Which Princess Bride Character are You? this quiz was made by urlLink mysti I might have cheated to get this result. My first turn was as 'Buttercup' and I just...yeah. Not working for me. BTW - Do we hate these quizzes? I just stumble on 'em and figure I'd share. 'Cause that's how I do... |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,August,2002 | I wish we had more efficient public transportation here in Minnesota. Then we could urlLink do this. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,August,2002 | I opened up Internet Explorer this morning and what did I see? Panda's little brother! There's a story about him on our intranet -- apparently he's doing a great job as a business banker. I think it's hilarious, because I think of him (as Hal said) as the angry Scotsman, risking his life to create the most glorious fireworks display ever, partying with friends such as Yankee Doodle Andy. Or running around singing the Mexican hat dance song. I'm scared. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,August,2002 | DJ S, I extend my sympathies regarding the soda fiasco. And Stoner, please dont get me sick. Wear a mask, or something. By the way, I, uh, hope you feel better. I havent TGIFd this much in a long time. Its been a v. crappy week. But on the bright side, MKD sent us treats from his vacation pralines from Savannah. Hes back in the office on Monday, and I have to toss him mad props for shipping in snacks from GA. It put the F in Friday. Yesterday, Lil Sickie Jr. and I booked tickets to visit our favorite set of Mikes in P-town. The trip isnt until October, but Im looking forward to it. Last time we went, we spent the better part of a day cleaning Mikeys apartment. Let hope it doesnt come to that again. Maybe a preventative pre-trip care package of Mr. Clean and Windex would help hmmm. Panda, Im sure if you and Billygoat end up moving out there you could teach those two a thing or two. Have a great weekend, folks. Im going to the fair with Corduroy tomorrow, so Ill likely have stories on Monday. :) |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 22,August,2002 | Always hard to follow a post about someone blowing chunks, but... I just drank a Diet Pepsi because the other stinkin' soft drink machine (that offers delicious Diet Coke) won't accept my dollar bills. Trust me, I tried all five that I had. Since I needed liquid, cafferinated refreshment, I turned to the much-loathed Pepsi machine and it greedily ate my Dead George. With a sigh, I depressed the DP (that's Diet Pepsi) button and the machine farted out a newly designed can. Since I don't like to drink out of cans, I scooped some ice into my Uptown Bar pint glass and poured the Diet Pepsi over the rocks. (Note: If you don't drink your soft drinks in a bar glass while at work, you're truly missing out.) I choked it down and wished the Coke machine wouldn't have done me wrong. Friends, it just ain't the same. Oh...and I'm going to Khan's Mongolian Barbecue for lunch. Lucky me. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 22,August,2002 | The horror A friend of mine started her day yesterday not feeling all that well. By 6 p.m. she was throwing up. Of course, since hearing that story I have developed symptoms similar to hers. I cant decide if I am on the road to a very unpleasant evening/weekend, or if it is all in my head. Id be thrilled if it was a Tuesday (as long as it didn't interfere with 'Idol' watching), but I don't want to be sick over a weekend! Puking on a Saturday is the worst torture I can think of especially if it means Ill feel better on Monday. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 22,August,2002 | Hey, Panda! Have a great time!! Pass on my best to 'the angry scotsman' and the 'polish picnic'. I have no doubt there will be some great stories. 'Can I get a 'hell yeah!'??' |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | I will be out tomorrow - going to my little bro's wedding in Milwaukee. I'm sure I'll have a few 'gems' to tell you about on Monday. And as we all know, the blog goes on without me. Continue the general debauchery in my absence. Cheers! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | Snoogens. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | Marc will be so proud. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | urlLink Which Kevin Smith Movie Are You? by urlLink jennablue! Gee...really hard to figure out which one I'd end up as. I skewed the answers so I'd end up being Kevvy Smith's only worthy film. (Sorry HAL) |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | I have a feeling my wedding may bear some resemblance to the one in urlLink this more-real-than-you-think article. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | I feel so bad for Nikki. She obviously wants to be off the show, and I think some sickos out there are voting for her just to torment her. She knows the other singers are better than her. She gets humiliated every week. I swear they only said nice things to her the other day to keep her from offing herself so she wouldnt have to perform anymore. I am also very depressed that Tamyra got booted. I know, shes going to move on to a successful career, yadda yadda, but I was excited for the last few episodes, to see her and Kelly battle it out. Ive been a Kelly supporter all along but I still wanted Tamyra to be there in the end. And Panda, Im with you. Seacrest and Dunkleman have got to go. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 21,August,2002 | OK, what the heck just happened? First, Seacrest makes out with some woman in the crowd, then the 'Idols' decide to sing a Paula Abdul medley for Ms. Abdul herself (I've heard chimps sing better), and then Tamyra gets kicked off? What about Nikki? She needs to have her vocal chords permanently removed as not to cause this nation more pain and suffering. Nikki, haven't we suffered enough? Your nervous wink-tick and tears do not fool me. You still blow. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | What you posted below is exactly why I love it so... because it's so bad, it's embarrassing. Kind of the same phenomena as stopping to take a good look at a car accident. Demented and sad, true. But oddly entertaining, nonetheless. The stupid-looking afro guy is Justin. He totally creeps me out and freakishly resembles Michael Jackson when he still looked 'normal'. One of the guys I work with bets he'll be in the top two. We'll let Simon be the judge of that. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | Okay...so I'm the curmudgeon here. I can't stand that show. Like most of TV (and I don't want to get on a rant here) American Idol is totally insulting to my intelligence...you know, 'cuz I'm so smart. I caught a clip of some of the show when my girlfriend was watching it and there was a segment where it showed 'those wacky kids' having fun between rehearsals. They were being crazy and trying their hand at playing the trumpet. Of course, no one was able to blow it and make it work right. Hilarious! But then...the idiot with the stupid-looking afro (I think, I forget because they're all talentless) drank some Coca-Cola and was able to belt out a chart-topper. So stupid. And another thing...don't speak for the whole of America by calling any of these no talent schleps American Idols. Let us decide who the damn idols are, okay? Not just the poor slobs who actually call in to vote for this garbage. Seriously...would you buy a CD if any of them released something? I'm sorry, I'd rather spend my hard-earned cash on a pencil. So I could poke out my eardrums. (take a breath) Okay...so I'm crabby today. I've had to train 6 people who had the attention span of a fat lady in a bakery. Needless to say, I'm a little burnt out. Today was a long day. I guess I hope Kelly wins, alright? :) |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | I have to admit, I'm a closet fan of 'AI' myself. But lately, I seem to be watching it more for the crazed 'live studio audience', the judges, and the inane circus clowns, oops, I mean 'hosts', than the actual performers. What's with these kids' parents in the audience? Particularly, what's with Nikki's parents' T-Shirts? I'm all for being a 'fan' of your children, but I believe they're wearing a picture on their chests of her half-naked. And the judges: what a bunch of pretentious a-holes. Can someone please tell me what that was on Paula Abdul's head last night? Paula, even though you won a Grammy in the 80's doesn't mean, it still is the 80's. I could go on and on about those 2 ass clowns Seacrest and Dunkleman. Heck, what I really should go on and on about is how I actually know their names. I need to get out more. So tonight, we will see who sucks the least. I have my money on Kelly. Who's with me? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | Today I am visiting my nemesis: REI REI and I dont mix. I made a few trips there earlier this summer to prepare for my Fourth o July Colorado shoot out, er, camping trip and had some bad experiences. There is a lot of attitude amongst those climbing wall-ers. Suffice it to say, I am not a member. So why go back? I do it out of love for my big bro. This Friday night he flies in from NYC and the next AM hes heading straight for the boundary waters. For this purpose, he needs a paddle. Lest you figure him to be a poor planner, let me explain. He has ordered a paddle online from said merchant, but in his words its not here yet, and Im worried it will be too short. Okayyyyy To remedy this, he would like me to pick up an alternate paddle at (hated) REI so that he has options when he arrives in Minneapolis. I will then be returning the rejected paddle to (hated) REI. Its a simple task, I guess, and Im willing to brave those over-gortexed fools, but brother has another request pick out not one, but three really nice looking paddles of a specific type, so I can choose among them. He explained that hes really particular about the wood grain. Uh-huh. The saddest thing is, as I retold this tale to Stoner, she pointed out that Im the same way about shoes (and Im pretty sure that that if I bring home another purse, Im breaking the lease, or something). I had little argument. Except, that I havent asked anyone to bring the shoe department to me. Then again, I havent spent much time in New York (apparently). On a much happier note, whos going to win American Idol? I was a late arrival to the show, but it has me hooked. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | sure is rainy out there. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,August,2002 | What a day. Theres been no small amount of chaos here at work, but the funniest thing just happened - I went out to lunch (I picked up my new golf clubs - woo hoo!!) and upon my return, workmen (ow!) were milling around and 1/2 the cubes in my surrounding little area had been torn down! It was out of nowhere - I almost started laughing, it was too bizarre. Turns out they are doing a physical reconfiguration as well as an organizational re-build. Perhaps the same 2 year old with a crayon is masterminding both? hmmm DJ Shovelpants will be moved to the other side as we say round these parts. I will be similarly relocated early next year. Who knows where MKD will end up. I wonder what will happen when I come in tomorrow morning |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | urlLink Apparently I am a man trapped in a woman's body. I am Charlie Bucket. And I got the golden ticket. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | urlLink I am just plain annoying.. Gum is my life. Violet Beauregaurd is my name, back off. My fate: I end up blowing up like a blueberry all because of that little piece of 'gum'. Then I have to be juiced. Who knows where I go from here. I never liked her. But I do like the color Blue. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | urlLink I am the dreamer of dreams. I am nice, but I am also busy and stressed out so I can be testy at times. Mr. Willy Wonka I am! I own the factory, mind you. urlLink Which Willy Wonka character are you? Who would've thunk it? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | Who ever thought it would be so difficult to find a good, non-cheesy DJ for a wedding? Billygoat and I were in Wisconsin over the weekend, checking out local vendors for our big day. We decided to crash some weddings in the area in order to watch the DJs in action. So to do this, we thought it would be a good idea to get dressed up - you know, to 'fit in.' What we forgot was that we were in Wisconsin. Because we dressed up, we didn't fit in. There were guys walking around in tight Levi's, Harley T-shirts, and permed mullets. There were others in loose khakis and bright white Reeboks. It was like we had entered some parallel universe of fashion mishaps. And the DJs sucked, by the way. I was more impressed by one DJ's disco ball, than by his music. FYI to all those attending mine - 'Brick House' is on the DO NOT PLAY list. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | I just got to go on a field trip to the Gedney pickle factory to pick up some pickles and urlLink some of these . Then I got to go to Nicollet Island to look around. I like days like today. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | I work for a big company, and part of my job is to edit communications pieces. Im always amazed at how many people are involved in the editing process the easiest, smallest pieces go through at least ten hands, and everyone has something to say. Today I was even more amazed than usual. Someone is on vacation, so Ive been asked to review the company-wide communications that she looks at on behalf of our business line. There were 132 people on the to: line of this message. Im not kidding. I counted. 132. Each of these people will probably pass it to one or two other people, meaning there are potentially hundreds of small changes that are going to be made to this document. I am so grateful that is not my job. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,August,2002 | This is billygoat200 here. Billygoat sans numbers was beginning to wear on me. I guess I got dumped from sasshole so I will have to find release for all my stories here on the pandyland site. Thank you all for finding me a new home, I feel like a great burden has been gently lifted from my shoulders. I feel considerably less uptight now that my blog worries are over and my creative juices are running wild. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Oh, the excitement of working in a suburban office tower. There was just a car on fire on 394. Flames all over the front end, and black smoke everywhere. We watched the fire trucks come and put it out. It was very exciting. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | It is also 24-7...and this is not a weekday-only blog, my friends. Weekends are included in your membership fee. Post to your heart's content. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Look! I just posted again! The freedom has gone to my head. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | I'm confused - she doesn't like Pandyland? She prefers participating in a system where you have to log into email, send a message to someone who may or may not preserve its integrity, and then wait hours upon hours (or even the entire weekend) for the message to appear? Pandyland is real-time, and I love it. Heres an update on my weekend: I got to play with Rocky, my parents new puppy, and I found out how he got his name. You might think its an adaptation of our familys last name but really, its because Rocky eats rocks. And twigs. And pretty much anything else that he can get into his mouth. I was never really too big on pets (you have to feed them or they die), but now I want one. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | News flash... Sara, some goofy broad on Sasshole, visited this here site and claimed it was a joke. Please...someone dispatch a crew to burn her house down. Doesn't she realize that we're in the beginning stages? Oh...and I did check out Pandy1and. Confirmation that they just can't get enough of us. Any slob willing to devote his time to making a (oh, stop me... the comedy is too intense) site (chuckle, guffaw) that's supposed to be (hee hee) like ours (ho ho) is comedy genius. Purely. The talent there is staggering. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Sounds good to me, Shovel. Tell me when you've found anything out. Seems like we've gotten under Sass' skin. Check out pandy1and.blogspot.com. Clown. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Yo yo yo...DJ is in the hizzy for rizzy. (Man...I'm such a whitey whitebread) I also enjoyed a crisp, delicious Diet Coke myself. I didn't have any money for the soft drink, so I had to borrow a dollar from my girlfriend. She gladly handed over the legal tender and liquid refreshment was consumed post haste. Nectar of the Gods, I say. In other news: I think we should somehow post a Pandyland e-mail address or somehow install a comments feature on this here site so we can give something back to the people. You know...let them speak their minds if they'd like. If this sounds agreeable to the rest of the crew, I'll start digging up some info on how we can get it done. That's how I do... |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Make that two (2) diet cokes. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Stoner, I am honored by your presence. Please, make yourself at home. We are happy to have you on board. Speaking of consumption of food and drink: I have downed one bottle of Propel (Black Cherry flavor), a Nutri Grain breakfast bar, and a packet of Curious George fruit snacks. I love sugar. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | I am pleased to announce my arrival at Pandyland! I am excited about my newfound freedom. My last sass-post attempt was denied Im not sure, but that could be confirmation of those fascism rumors What I do know for sure is this: I have consumed one (1) diet coke today. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | I guess I can't seem to avoid trouble lately. I got myself into a bit of trouble at work. I took a picture of my boss when we went bowling at our last 'team-building' meeting. I then decided to submit it and a group photo of our team with a little 'human interest' story to our work newsletter. This newsletter is distributed globally. That may not sound too bad until you find out what the picture looked like - it was basically a photo of my boss' ass. Most people would be able to laugh this type of thing off, but not him. He's got a major Napolean complex. The longer and longer I stay within the corporate realm, the more I find out that nobody has a sense of humor anymore. Either that, or I'm not much into 'team building'. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | As some of you may know...I likey the band urlLink Eels . I even convinced Hal to part with their first effort 'Beautiful Freak' for a small fee. The exchange went a little something like this: (hit it) Shovel - I like EELS. Hal - Oh, I have their first album. Shovel - Do you ever listen to it? Hal - Not really. Shovel - I want it. How much? Hal - One burrito. Shovel - Sold. If you're not privvy to their music, they're the band who sang 'Novocaine For The Soul' (not my favorite)_but they're kind of like a cross between Cake & Beck...sort of. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | I'm so excited and I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. This is the seventh happiest day of my life, to wit: 1. Day I got married. 2. Day I became a father. 3. Day I went to see U2 Live at Red Rocks 4. Day I had my first Chipotle Burrito 5. Day I met DJ Heather (and her super cool friends) 6. Day I became a former sasshole reader I will be gone next week, then I will post, post and occassionally, post. Thanks for making me part of the team. P.S. Panda, I love your movie reviews! P.S. Stoner, pithy and brilliant! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Great. I thought I would be able post here and there as I please, but already I get the email from Panda... 'get to it! post away!', exactly 29 minutes after I am invited to join. Sheesh! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Hiya. DJ Shovelpants, here. Glad to see that there is life after Craphole.com or whatever that sad little site was called. On a side note: I almost spilled a whole can of Raviolli all over my free March Of Dimes t-shirt. Close call... |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 16,August,2002 | Forced into exile by the crap called Sasshole, I bring you the next big thing on the Net: Pandyland. We here at Pandyland do not discriminate, do not have huge egos, just wanna have a little fun, and absolutely forbid whining....unless it's about food or drink spillages. That is completely encouraged. Love, Panda ps - we also love U2. We will post a lot about that. If you don't like it, go check out sasshole.com. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 27,September,2002 | Sometimes I believe that cheaters prosper. Sometimes I think that there is no karma and you can do bad things all day long and twice on Sundays and never have bad things happen to you. Sometimes I hate the world because we could make things so simple, we could be so cool to each other and instead we complicate things and are mean to each other and we (collectively) suck really bad. Sometimes I feel like we have it set up so that people who are willing to short cut and cheat and mistreat can really get ahead. Yep, screw people over, make SVP and buy a Lexus: It's a Wonderful Life. What's the downside (not a rhetorical question BTW - I really want to know what the downside is to the person who does it. Do they feel anything? Do they care or does a giant mansion and a European luxury sedan make it all better?)? I hope to God that I never understand it. And, in spite of myself, I wish that something really bad would happen to people who do bad things to other people. I am going (via 10 year old Honda) home (to house that would not pass FHA inspection), and I am going to drink a giant dirty martini (up). |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 26,September,2002 | Um...will you knit me a sweater? I'm looking for a northeastern cabled fisherman's sweater style sweater (XL - sigh) in forest green. And don't try to make me a punk, I want the Rowan yarn (Shelly makes me itch)! Thanks in advance, Duf' |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 26,September,2002 | Stoner, youre not a geek. What girl wouldn't like to have her scissors sharpened by a stud like Dave? ;) |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | Duf Fer -- you are not sharing too much, because I have no idea who those people are. I just know that Heather was right and Peggy was very, very wrong. Now I will share too much. I just got this e-mail: ' Update from Needlework Unlimited : The Rowan Trunk Show has arrived with lots of sweaters knit up in the fabulous Rowan yarns. All Rowan yarn 15% off during the show. The CanvasWorks Trunk Show continues through Sunday and the Shelly Trunk Show is coming next. We have a special treat during the Shelly show - Shelly herself! Shelly will be in the shop on Saturday, October 12, to assist customers with canvas and fiber selection. Also October 12, knitters can try out our new yarns in the classroom at our Fall Yarn Tasting. Better mark your calendars! And this Saturday, September 28, Dave Paulson will be at the shop sharpening scissors. This is a great opportunity to have a professional make your edges like new. Drop them off anytime before Saturday and they will be ready by 5pm Saturday.' It was at approximately 4:12 p.m. today that I realized I am kind of a geek. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | I love my wife, she is wonderful, but in my nature is a tendency to have absurd crushes. To wit: Workplace crushes by Duf Fer: A certain Financial Analyst A certain Assistant Operations Manager A certain Training Manager A certain Title expert A certain new addition to the title team A certain CSR who sits near me and was reading Faulkner the other day Am I sharing too much? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | Today was looking pretty grim until just a minute ago. Rick Astley's 'Together Forever' just came on the radio. I don't know what this station is, but I'm keeping it on just in case they play another gem. If I'm lucky, they'll play 'Who's Johnny?' by El Debarge. Solid. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | Hey, Panda - since you've had some near-misses with Bono around town, maybe you'll have more luck with Peter Gabriel. If you do, please ask him to do a show in Minneapolis fer chrissakes!!! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | Mmmm...chocolate brownies...I just had another. They've been here all week -- but now they are gone. It's so depressing I can hardly stand it. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 25,September,2002 | Thank God for that urlLink particularly tangled joke about mercury contamination in an elevator wow, scientists are geeks. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | I am addicted. We have chocolate brownies here and I can't stop eating them. Plus I drank some hot chocolate. And I know we have m&ms at home. I am a junkie |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | Are they cheesy hash browns? I like cheesy hash browns. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | I want your hashbrowns. But they're probably cold by now. Bummer. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | Does anyone want my hashbrowns? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | Ive actually seen Panda do a duet of Up Where We Belong and I have to tell you it was truly inspiring. In other news, I am taking a class on Tuesday nights. Im not giving out the name of the place because I want to tell you about some of the people in my class. And I would feel horrible if they knew I was discussing their quirks on the Internet. Not that they would somehow stumble onto Pandyland, realize I am talking about them, and figure out who I am. But still -- I have paranoia issues. Back to my story Im starting to think that this undisclosed organization plants people in their classes in order to boost the confidence of the other students. Because my class has two that are somewhat questionable. Its a freelance writing class, so on the first day we did the usual interview-the-person-sitting-next-to-you thing. Youd think that in a room full of potential reporters, youd get some pretty straight facts. Not the case with the guy sitting next to me while introducing me, he went on about how I am there to pursue an advanced degree, and how I publish a journal about insurance and issues relating to insurance, etc. etc. Neither of these things came out of my mouth Im definitely not there to pursue an advanced degree because, well, they dont grade you on the classes and dont actually offer any degrees. I did say that I do employee newsletters for an insurance company, so I guess I do see how he could confuse that with an insurance journal. But the nature of what I write for work involves very little objective research just a lot of pat Bob on the back because he sold a huuuuuuuuge policy!!!! AOW!!!!! Still, this guy pales in comparison to the lady who I shall now refer to only as Crazy Lady. On the first day she apologized for being 45 minutes late and having to leave an hour early our class is two hours long. This week, our assignment was to get writers guidelines from publications wed like to write for. Its a pretty simple task, all it involves is a few minutes on the internet or a few minutes to fill out the addresses on a couple of envelopes. Not a big deal. When we got around the room to her, she said she didnt do the assignment and that, quite frankly, she didnt realize this was going to be so much work. When asked who shed like to write for she said I didnt really think about it. I dont know. I guess National Geographic . Its always been my dream to be a photographer for National Geographic . Which doesnt exactly explain why shes in a freelance writing class...but hey, whatever works. Finally, last night there was a reception for some grant winners going on outside the door of our classroom. We all joked around about mingling during break time but really, we were joking. Crazy Lady, apparently, was not. She came back from break with a glass of wine. So anywaysthose are my storiesfor now. Im sure I will tell more later. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 24,September,2002 | I think I will sing something inspirational like 'Up Where We Belong' or the theme song from 'The Great American Hero' (Believe it or not I'm walking on air...). Either those choices or my favorite: the theme from the 'Golden Girls'. I have a thing for urlLink Bea Arthur . |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | HAL to boss: 'Hey, Jac-kay, baby I got ya money, doncha worry, Jac-kay.' Could be your song for PBJ HAL. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | I just went to Taco Bell with my boss, and she tried to pimp me out to a pair of 18 year olds. Disturbing. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | I would like to sing 'Summer Wine' (the song that is on the 'Corrs Live on VH1' cd, apparently Nancy Sinatra sang it?) just like they do -- as a duet with Bono. I like that song because of its country flair and belt-the-whole-thing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs potential. If Bono is unavailable that weekend, I suppose I could substitute with something from 'J to tha L-O'...right now it is a toss up between 'Ain't it Funny' and 'It's Gonna Be Alright.' Of course, that will be decided when I find out if Ja Rule is available or not. Murder, Inc. is tha bomb. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | PBJ...make it so. Yeah, I think HAL and Stonie should loosen the itinerary a bit so we can all enjoy each other's company. After all, we've got a SMASH HIT website without the aid of polls, porn, or the tired (and I mean...tiiiiiiiired) notion of booting anyone off. Let's give ourselves a pat on our back and a burrito in our fat gobs for a job well done. Splendid work, everyone. You make this DJ priggity-proud! Duf - Tomorrow might be tough for a burrito run. I got the newbies to train, but God-willing, let's make it happen. Seeing as it's my last day of work for the week, I want to run the clock down any way possible. Ya know? Stoner - I can't tell you how many tears leaked out of my head when I opened my DJ Shovelpants e-mail account and saw...NOTHING!!! Where's that story, dammit? No pressure, of course. But Sweet Jesus!!! I will however sing the extended version of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' at the burrito fest. If you guys really behave, I might even do the Axl Rose patented Serpentine moves, too. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | Sign me up for the PBJ (Pandyland Burrito Jamboree). I will sing Unchained Melody (more like the Willie Nelson than Righteous Brothers or Elvis). I can't wait to meet Panda Bear. I heard so many things. I mean so many GOOD things. Oh, and Stoner, all god-fearing Americans like pancakes - that's why you got the frowns. People frown at godless communists all the time. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | I think that everyone should have to sing a song at the first annual Pandyland Burrito Jamboree. I just think that would be a nice touch. We have a potluck here tomorrow, as part of United Way week. I have to bake something, so it only costs me $2 to participate, rather than $6. I think by the end of the week, I am going to need the United Way because I will be so poor. It's one of those three-weekend paychecks (c'mon, you know what I'm talking about) so it's a stretch already...I got frowns for skipping out on the $3 pancake breakfast today. I don't really like pancakes, so I decided it is my prerogative (as Bobby Brown would say) to skip out. I'm not participating in the cribbage tournament today either. I'm on strike. Okay, and I don't know how to play. But I must get back to work...my boss just handed me our cookbook to final-double-check to make sure all of the editing was done properly. For the eight millionth time. What was my mantra again? Oh yeah -- 'I don't want to sleep on cardboard, I don't want to sleep on cardboard...' |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | Since I am coming to Minneapolis on the weekend of October 12th, I think a Pandyland rendezvous is in order. But you might have to talk to Hal and Stoner since they are in charge of my itinerary. I just come along for the ride. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | Ball of confusion That's what the world is today Hey Hey So last night, I get home from work thinking there is going to be this great anniversary celebration (what is the second anniversary anyway? Tin? Paper? Cash? I think it is cotton or china) and I find my wife drunk on Grain Belt Premium singing that Dave Edmunds song: 'I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock and Roll' out of key at the top of her lungs. All I can think is 'Geez, I've got 5 more years of this crap?' She passed out while I was reading her my romantic anniversary poem (called 'Anniversary 2, Electric Boogaloo - Two Dirty Limericks to Honor Our Anniversary'). I ended up watching a bad video tape (static, cut off before the end) of the Emmys - how about that Everybody Loves Raymond , huh? Anyway, it was not the anniversary I imagined: some celebration. I guess that's only funny for people who know my wife. For those that don't, I have never seen her drunk, but she cannot say the same of me (hiccup). Stoner, quit your job and hit the road Kerouac style. Title your book 'On the Road Again.' Make it stream of consciousness. You'll need an oil change (every 3,000 miles) for your (quiet) Toyota. Maps, and lots of drugs (preferably hallucinogens, but maybe Ecstacy to make it a version for the new millenium). Of course, you'll need corporate sponsors (a certain large national bank comes to mind). But, Stoner, mainly I wanted to say this: in the words of Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO to those in the know) I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you: tonight. Expect delivery tomorrow after work. PB: I'm am the world's biggest Cheesecake fan. I also had a non-traditional wedding cake at my wedding - Kranzakake (Norwegian snack cake for holidays and weddings) - and either it was a big hit or everyone lied and said that it was. Don't invite me to your wedding (my wife has problems with the sauce), but save me a piece of cake. DJS - sorry about lunch today. What's the haps for tomorrow? Buh-Ree-To? Lemmeknow. When are we having our Pandyland Burrito Jamboree? HAL - let's shop soon, but not for shoes. Billygoat - what gives, too gruff to post? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 23,September,2002 | You'll have to ask the 'rents about the open bar plan since that's their gig. I'm all for it, but I'm also for keeping things reasonably priced, which an open bar doesn't help with. All I know at this point: there will definitely be all the top-notch booze you can drink available during the cocktail hour before dinner. The goal: drink as many drinks as you can, as fast as you can. That sounds like the games we used to play at Plum's on Thursday nights. Look forward to a Billygoat post soon. I heard rumors that he may get close to a computer this evening... |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | I feel like a loser that I wasnt in the short-story contest like everyone else, though I had a nice weekend regardless. It got a little surreal when on Saturday night I found myself at a friends cabin watching the Miss America pageant. Please, will someone put this contest out of its misery? I say this not out of feminist outrage (I personally think there are bigger fish to fry), but because its just sad. Not even so-good-its-bad, or Fastlane-bad. Just sad. Though not quite as sad as waiting for someone you are 'fighting' with to surf over to your web log. Panda, I like the cheesecake idea, but lets get to the part of the wedding that everyone REALLY cares about will it be an open bar? :) |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | I haven't been able to post much lately. It seems that either a) the internet is down at work, b) I am being forced to proofread recipes, or c) I am repeating 'you can't quit your job, or you will have to live on the street' over and over in my head, which means I haven't had much time for Pandyland. But I did manage to take that brat packer quiz. I am sad to report I came up as Long Duck Dong. Embarassing. Y'all can read my story if you want...it's a little strange to have people want to read something I wrote, because I don't write many stories -- I just write in my journal, which I'm sure you all would find WAY more interesting, but that's too bad, you can't read it. Posting it seems a little weird though. It's less than 900 words (per the contest's instructions) but still...kind of a long post. And it's on my home computer anyways. And the dog (or mouse) might eat it by the time I get home, you just can't ever tell... I heard our crazy neighbors fighting last night. All I caught was 'You're crazy! And angers me! Take it down this instant!' which I can only assume is referring to the notes she has posted on the door to keep the window washers away (it's been a month now). Duf -- I have reviewed my copy of the burners code of ethics. Your cookies are on the way. BTW, I am v. sad to hear that the Jack Johnson show at First Ave sold out really fast, which means we can't go. Panda -- I *love* cheesecake. I can't wait to go to your wedding. DJS -- I want to do another quiz. Hal -- I want to play Stratego later. Billygoat -- I miss you. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | DJS, you are right on the money about craphole.com...not only are their posts ridiculous-o, but that idiot Sara thinks our site is the mock site that Mr. Crap had painstakingly made eons ago. She's a real piece of work. So I was in Wisconsin again over the weekend...more wedding stuff. We got to taste the wedding cake. Postitively delicious! I broke out of the mold and am making her bake me a 3-layer cheesecake. It may not be as pretty as the traditional dessert, but it sure tastes damn good. I saw the movies Signs and One Hour Photo over the weekend. I may post a review(s) later, but to make a long story short: We saw One Hour Photo first, thought it was terrible, and then decided to sneak over to see Signs to try and get our money's worth. Signs was good, but not great, so I guess that's better than a sharp stick in the eye...and watching One Hour Photo again. DJS and Stoner - whenever you're ready, post your stories. Now I'm curious. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | I think I might have to wait to post my story on this here site. I'm not saying that I would win, but if by some freak of nature, I did...then that could spell trouble. You know, rights and what-not. Wow...what a coinky-dink that Stoner was in the same contest. Stoner - I'd love to read your story. Do you want to share it with a fellow writer-type (me)? If so, please send it to: [email protected] . I'll do the same if you want to read my contest effort. Another guy I know entered the contest as well. It's weird to see what people do with the topic (which I wasn't a big fan of). IMHO is: In My Humble Opinion. For more crazy abbreviations or code words, visit urlLink Urban Dictionary.com . They've got all the crazy lingo there. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | Shovelpants, Stoner participated in the self same short story contest. It was good that I did not do it. I would have won all the money. I am reading your story now DJS - people like Miller High Life: it is the Champagne of Beers. Excellent story. I loved the surprise ending with the clever twist. I think you and Stoner should post your stories here. Panda, what does IMHO stand for? Am I totally clueless? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | Not a bad weekend on my end, either. The key word was: relax . Since we're moving out of our de-luxe apartment in the sky-high-high this coming weekend, I didn't want to do a whole heckuva lot. I beat Super Mario Sunshine, ran some errands, went to Stillwater with my girl, and I participated in a 24 hour short-story contest. As an added bonus, I got to watch the newest episode of the Sopranos. Duf - I thought the Polara album was pretty decent. Of course, that's listening to it here at work, where I'm plenty distracted, so... I might have to give 'er another spin or two. I do like that tune they've got playing on the radio, however. Happy anniversary! I guess I've got to pay my dues, I thought your wife would 86 you a long time ago because of your mad penchant for DVD/CD purchases. By the by...I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow. You in? On another note: I accidentally popped over to Sasshole. Man...they've still got a bunch of lame-o's pretending to post interesting things. No amount of polls or porn will make that site remotely interesting. Boot everyone off, starting with Dr. Ego himself! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | I have to say it was a good weekend. I watched tons of college football; I teed it up with a local DJ/Turntablist (who is playing quite well lately (on the course and on the wheels of steel)), and I took the cold (achoo!) my daughter had last week! I want to take a moment to plug the new Polara album Jetpack Blues . They are a local band, and their disc is outta site/dy-no-mite (although I am not so sure DJ Shovelpants liked it). Let me know if you want me to burn it - which reminds me of something I'm going to do for Stoner. I will burn, but I have a burners code of ethics that you must agree to. Tonight is my anniversary. To those who thought we would never last: ha! Those who bet 1 year, 364 days on the over/under: pay up suckas! Stoner: how was the contest? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 20,September,2002 | Here I am: urlLink I am Ferris! Which Brat Packer Are You? And it is so true. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | I have come up with a new 'workplace friendly' version of the Nelly song: 'Hot in Herrre.' It goes a little something like this: 'It's getting cold in here, so put on extra clothes. I am getting so cold, I'm going to put more clothes on.' What do you think? Off to take the quiz. Back in a minute. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Just to prove I'm on board with DJS, here are my quiz results! urlLink I am Watts! Which Brat Packer Are You? Although you have a tough exterior, you are sensitive and loving. Sadly, you keep your feelings bottled up and almost lose the guy. You are a great kisser. You like diamonds, and will gladly help shop for them, knowing they might be yours if you just make the right moves. Oh-so-much cuter than Molly Ringworm, you should have been the star of all John Hughes movies. Possible careers: replacing that one-armed drummer in Def Leppard, chaffeur, or fried green tomato maker. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Yeah, Bobo was a real 'clown' alright. I thought I'd abuse my Pandyland dictator powers and boot that idiot. Because, as dictator, you should all bow down to me, laugh at my stupid jokes, and admire my wit and wisdom. Wah, ha, ha, ha! It's not like any jerk can have a blog, you know! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Okay...reading my TV post, I came off as kind of a suckerhead, and everyone knows that's not how I do...so. Hey...how 'bout a quiz? urlLink I am Duckie! Which Brat Packer Are You? You are Duckie, a true hero. It should have been you, man. Your best friends are in the same social class as you, but they think they can do better. Your new-wave mentality gets you into some progressive situations: Annie Potts. Way to go! You like cool shoes and pompadors. Often mistaken for Matthew Broderick, at least you aren't stuck with Sarah Jessica Parker. It's good to let go, and in doing so, you open many doors for yourself. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | I'm so glad you all voted off Bobo Le Clown. People love those Survivor style vote-offs on Blogs. Now, I am here, and I will be so much more regular than Bobo (er...frequent). This weekend, I am going golfing with this golfer who thinks she is so good at golf, and I am better than her at golf and at other things too. I just ate part of a 'Fast Break' candy bar, and it was too sweet for me. I am going back to 'Baby Ruth' as my CBOC (candy bar of choice). |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Wow, I didn't think I would get such a rebuttal. You coulda just said something like 'hey, non-network tv ain't all that bad' and I would have been pacified. Thanks for the play-by-play. I don't have HBO (or even standard cable), therefore TV viewing for me is unfortunately limited to Network stations. Billygoat grew up without a TV at all - my parents actually had to explain to him what they meant by the saying 'sometimes we are so 'Ozzie & Harriet'.' [Anyone who knows Appleton, WI knows it's pretty close to a real-life 'Pleasantville.'] It's funny the perspective he has on things, having never watched TV as a child. I'd say he's more creative than most, he loves to read, & doesn't ever feel 'the itch' because he's missing a show. Since I'm already sick of explaining things like who each character is on Friends or how Wheel of Fortune always comes on at 6:30pm, I highly doubt that after we're married we will be watching TV at all. It's hard to teach an old dog new shows. |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Okay Panda, let me clear the air about the whole TV thing. I've got the unfortunate 'sit-chee-ay-shun' where our living room is right smack dab next to the bedroom. When the girlfriend is watching TV: (Alias, reruns of 90210, American Idol, parts of Fastlane and tons of other uh, stuff) I have no choice but to see some of it. After realizing that it's just as bad as everything else, I retire to the study and read. Yeah, it's sad. It's not that I think I'm above quality shows shown to you piecemeal with rotten commercial interruptions every five minutes or so...heck no. I like some TV, I just hate MOST of it. That's all. For the record, I can't watch more than an hour of network television without complaining and feeling my brain start to melt. I DO however, have a deep, deep love of some of the HBO shows. I'm talking your Sopranos (best show, ever!), Dennis Miller Live, and I'll admit it...I like Sex & The City. Can you say Kristin Davis? Yep...I can. But, for your consideration, here are some shows I'll watch without wanting to commit a homicide: 1. The Sorpanos 2. Insomniac (Comedy Central) 3. Real TV 4. The Simpsons 5. The Daily Show (rarely, these days) 6. The Osbournes 7. Sex & The City 8. The Dennis Miller Fun Hour 9. Crank Yankers (Jesus...I couldn't even come up with 10!) A note: The only show I actually seek out and set aside time to watch is The Sopranos, everything else is stuff that while I'm surfing, I might stop on and watch a bit, but I don't set my clock, arrange my meals, or storm out of public places in a blind fury to watch. Wow...I need to lighten up, eh??? |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | I just caught a bit of Bono on Oprah this morning. We snuck into our conference room and I made someone hold the bunny ears while I watched so the reception was good. Oprah called in to a radio station when Bono was in town a couple days ago. Supposedly she took him out for dinner after the night of the taping. They went to Rosebud...I walk past that place at least once a week...why not that day? It's probably for the best, though. If I would have seen him it would have turned pretty ugly. On a side note: I was wondering about Shovel's supposed 'hatred' towards television. It seems to me whenever anyone comments about a show on TV, Shovel seems to know ALL about it. IMHO, I think he's a 'closet watcher.' And I don't buy the argument 'Oh, my girlfriend was watching, so I just had to sit there for several hours too.' C'mon DJS...fess up! You love TV! |
883,178 | male | 36 | Fashion | Aries | 19,September,2002 | Thanks for the pipe, DJS. :) I should clarify my earlier statement. I didn't say that Fastlane was good, I just said I enjoyed it. If he was a poor man's Tom Cruise, the show would be unwatchable. But the fact that he's a POOOOR Man's Tom Cruise made it enjoyable. For me. I won't be taping it (God, I hope not - it would mean that my TV habit is truly out-of-hand), but I have a feeling I'll be finding myself laughing at it from time to time. As Stoner put it, 'this show is Melrose!!'. Well put. |
