DJS, I read your recent posting on Soft Drink - I knew you would like urlLink The Best Page in the Universe . When I read it, half the stuff sounded like your own posts. Comedic insults galore! I especially like the article 'People who like David Lynch movies are idiots.' NYC really smells. That's something I will never miss about this city. When you're walking down the street you get whiffs of sewage, hot dog water, and then patchouli. Yes, patchouli. There are these guys that sell this nasty incense stuff on the street. Who the hell ever thought that patchouli was a nice scent? I'd rather bathe in hot dog water any day. All you hippies stink. I'm serious. On a more cheerful note - I can't wait for tonight. What could be better than drinking cheap beer and listening to the melodious sound of Duf's voice? Coco's comin' out too - I can feel it! Meow!

Roy? Sounds like a Grade A suckerhead. Eff him. I'm getting a little antsy in anticipation for the hoe-down tomorrow night. Is that crazy? I don't know if it's because I haven't been out and about for quite some time, but I'm looking to get a little surly (not really) and pick a fight with a bearded biker (no, I won't) and end up picking up my teeth off of the sidewalk (never happen). I know my boss CK 2 is looking forward to seeing me rock the mic...and I'll be soooo disappointed if Duf doesn't throw something down vocally. I think the boy has got real singing chops. I'm pretty sure he can sing the pantalones vaqueros off of anyone in the joint. And yes...he's going to win all the money. All the money.

I just looked at the weather and it's supposed to be 30 frickin degrees in Minneapolis this weekend. I may have to reconsider my visit. It's 60 in NY right now. How does one pack for such extremes?? I took a walk last night after work. When I'm here in NY by myself, I don't have many options for things to do: I either go back to my hotel room and watch way too much TV and eat a bag of Pirate's Booty (my favorite), or I go wander around until the stores close and spend money. I opted for the latter. I walked aimlessly south. I found myself in the middle of NYU's campus and thought about Ben, Felicity, Noel...and then remembered that they aren't real people...and that the show isn't even on anymore. *tear* Then I went through my favorite part of town: on Broadway through Chelsea, then south of Houston (hence 'SoHo'), and through the Village. I went to my favorite market in SoHo, to the cheesy junk stores in Chinatown, and then to Dean & Deluca. I may have a nice surprise for HAL and Stoner because of my aimlessness. And the fact that I like to buy stuff for people when I'm bored.

Stoner, I agree. We just had a belated birthday celebration for 2 people on my team. Someone brought Dunkin Donuts and we sat around and talked about stupid TV shows like the Bachelor and the Real World ('those girls are SLUTS!') and then we went back to our desks. What a waste of time. And no one even sang the birthday song. So urlLink here's something that made me laugh out loud this morning. 'Good job Kelly, now pack up your shit and find a foster home.' I needed that after the weak Donut Extravaganza. Let's hope our Burrito Jamboree is more festive.

Why is it that when we write something cheesy in a greeting card, we sometimes feel compelled to add the words just kidding? I just did that as if my coworker would think I was serious when I wrote birthdays are so great, you should have them more often! For one thing, isnt even possible. Still, I felt I needed to add that just in case she didnt get my sense of humor. Workplace celebrations are awkward.

Stoner, to satisfy your love of rap and my love of duets, we should sing a little diddy that combines both. I betcha 'Walk This Way' by Aerosmith/Run DMC would work. We could each trade off the mic during the chorus. I just want to hear you scream 'WALK THIS WAY!' as I respond with a more subdued 'Talk this way.' Hey, I deserve it. After that I have a wedding ring we can pawn off for more beer money.

And the Reaper's Assistant wants to borrow your cell phone. I know my demands don't carry much weight since I do not intend to sing (my only karaoke experience thus far has been in the rap genre), but I swear heads will roll if I don't hear someone do a duet with Panda.

Panda B: Yeah, I'm guessing your talking about the ass-play scene with Ralphie and Janice. Uh...not sure where that came from. They're doing everything in their power to make that character even more repulsive than he was in the previous episode. Mission accomplished. Admittedly, though...I tend to like the REALLY bad guy (Ralphie) and the REALLY nice guy in the show (Bobby). Ironically, they're both going to get mixed up with each other because of that pig Janice. Joey Fat-one? My girlfriend would be thrilled. She's all about the N'Stink. Oh...I can't wait to see what next week holds. If you haven't watched the show, pick up an episode or two at the video store. Be like us! Best show EVER.

I forgot to tell y'all about seeing Joey Fatone from N'Sync on Monday. Billygoat and I decided to press our luck and try to get rush tickets to Rent. BG was a lucky man and his name got called - we got front row seats to Rent for $20 a piece. And Joey Fatone was the star. During their standing ovation we were seriously 1 foot from him. I told BG he should touch his shoe, just to say he touched one of the members of N'Sync. He said that wouldn't be something to brag about. So what was with that one scene in the Sopranos this week?

You know, Stoner might be onto something. One of the reasons we're all here in the first place was because Stoner was so close to getting 'booted' from that crappy little site from before. Uh...Butthole.com or something...I don't know, but I'm sure it was anus-related. With our 'the-truth-hurts' brand of comments we left on that aforementioned site, we started a revolution...and a rivalry. People were actually interested in Crapbox.com for a day or two. Kind of funny that Panda got the El Boot (Spanish for 'The Boot') and thus Pandyland was born. Anyway, glad to be back in the hizzy.

I can't wait to eat real fish and chips, watch the Big Breakfast, go to some good Indian Restaurants, attend an evensong at Westminster Abbey, eat Belgian chocolate, and talk to many British men. What I will not do: buy Belgian lace. For some screwed up reason my mom is sad that I'm not more into the lace-thing. It's not like I plan on ever decorating with doilies, so I don't know what the problem is. I met a friend for drinks a couple days ago when I was in NY. We had traveled through Thailand together (not really by choice, he happened to be in my MBA class) and so I think hes under the impression that we have this eternal bond. Since Im usually bored out of my mind when Im in NYC for business, I hastily accepted his invitation. Not much has changed with him since I last saw him a year ago hes still a chachi frat boy who cant let go of the frat boy days when beer bongs were cool. So the intellectual stimulation was minimal, but the scotch consumption was definitely to the maximum (which I bought on DDS tab, by the way). Me? I just had a glass of free champagne that came with my room. So after getting the $70 bar tab and walking out of the place, he actually said to meYou know, if I didnt have a girlfriend right now, we could get it on . My reaction: You gotta be kidding me.

Helene it was! I knew it from the first episode I ever watched -- I wasn't even swayed by Gwen. In regards to the other items that have been up for discussion lately: 1. I prefer skim milk. My problem is that I only have one glass out of the carton, and before I know it, it's expired. Then I am too scared to remove it from the refrigerator. So I ignore it until Hal yells at me. 2. Caffeine....mmmmmm....bzzzzzzzzz....what was I talking about? 3. Childhood vs. adulthood. I still watch the Muppet movies. That's all that matters, really. 4. My own discussion item - my 'social life' as my dad would call it. It's great to be dating someone who is really nice and funny and cute and that I enjoy being around. But in a way it sucks too - because I get all excited to see him, and that means I have to sit in my chair for EIGHT HOURS of torture, wishing the end of the day was here already.

I'm really beginning to think that caffeine really didn't have that much sway over me. I'm still able to stay up as late as I need to (1:30am last night) and now I don't get the jitters around 11:30am or so if I don't have a delicious Diet Coke. Does I miss it? Yes...but I've got a hard time accepting that something like a frigging Soft Drink had that much of a hold on me. Kids Stuff - As you may all be aware, I'm pretty much immune to the 'growing up' requirements. This is the stuff I STILL do: 1. Play Vids (or Video Games to the lamen) 2. Get Happy Meals at McD's 3. Read comic books 4. Buy an occasional action figure 5. Read children's books. I highly recommend the Series of Unfortunate Events series 6. Eat Orange Tic Tacs like candy, instead of using them as breath mints 7. Fart on the phone when I'm talking to my brother 8. Buy dumb things out of coin machines: super balls, stickers, crappy rings 9. Think Star Wars is the best movie...ever.

Duf, 'Skorts' should definitely NOT have an asterisk next to them. They should be outlawed along with 'Sweatshirts' considering those two items could make a deadly fashion combination. Oy! As Hal can attest to, there is a woman in Minneapolis who wears skorts all the damn time - even in winter. She is mean...and looks like a clown. 'Skorts' must be on the 'Appropriate Business Casual Attire' list where she works.

Whatever, Duf. I just had a cup o' the full-fat milk, and you are currently visiting Best Buy during your designated working hours, which is basically a self-appointed recess. Adulthood can be avoided. DJS, how is the caffeine-avoidance program going?

That's a funny question, because off-hand I can think of a ton of things you are supposed to give up, but never do. For me, that is: 1. Sugar cereal for dinner. 2. Saved By the Bell 3. Macoroni & Cheese and hot dogs 4. Taking 'gas money' from your parents. 5. Watching Disney movies (ie 'Tuck Everlasting') and thoroughly enjoying them. 6. Telling on your brother when he squeezes your hand really, really hard during the 'Our Father' at church. To add to Hal and Duf's list: 4. Riding in a Radio Flyer wagon. 5. Wearing a lot of hot pink (unless you're from New Jersey). 6. Zip shoes (but then again, I see old people take this up again when they're about 80.) 7. Your dad drawing funny cartoon pictures of guys smoking cigarettes on your brown bag lunch. 8. Sofa forts

HAL and I decided that there are things you have to give up when you become an adult. Here is a partial list: 1. Recess 2. Summer vacation 3. Whole milk HAL then proceeded to tell me that she is stuck on 1% milk and refuses to migrate to skim. I'm all like 'What's up with that?' She's all like 'I don't want to drink it, it's like water plus.' I'm all like 'but it's not fair, we all have made the jump' and she's all like 'I'm not going to do it.' I friggin flipped. Like, who does she think she is? What things do you think people have to give up when the become adults?

Go see Bowling for Columbine. Saw it the other day, and it was very, very good. Surprisingly good, in fact. Different and better than I expected. How so, you ask?? Well, I have an unexpected new admiration for Marilyn Manson. Being at work again has also been surprisingly great, but so far two people have asked why people keep saying Welcome Back to me. They hadnt known that I had ever left. Nice. Im not sure how to respond.

MS Mail...oh God, don't get me started. I'm pissed that I missed the hastily-arranged Country Bar Meltdown on Saturday. I was sick as a dog on Friday. Literally, I was sitting at my desk and felt like I was stoned (not that I have any idea what that's like) with my mouth hanging open and staring at the computer like I was some kind of a-hole. It got so bad, that I told CK2 that I needed to go off and up out of the place and kill time until DJ LZ (my girlfriend) was ready to head back to the burbs. So...what'd I do? 'There's a place for fun in your life...' Mall of America, yo. I went in, walking like a zombie and purchased a doughnut ala Krispy Kriz-eme and enjoyed a mouth-watering bottle of milk. From there, I promptly headed to the video game store and played a demo version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Gamecube. I got to fly a ship and kick some ass, but when my guy popped out of the ship and flipped on his lightsaber, the game took a turn for the worst. It was some bad actor trying to do Mace Windu (Sam Jackson's character) and it stunk. That, and a bunch of guys hit me with the killing. Good time-waster, shitty game. So, in a nutshell, I was too sick later that night for karaoke and such. But I'm there next time. P.S. Don't believe the Cocks. 8 Mile was a good flick.

Brunching Shuttlecocks finally updated their site, and with that comes urlLink a review that will make you think twice before you run out to see 8 Mile , a movie that 'tells the story of B. Rabbit, also known as Jimmy, also known as the white guy who thinks he can rap, also known as Dawg.' Can you tell I'm having a slow day at work?

I would say: 'delta' 'raise the helicopter' 'bandwidth' 'value proposition' and my all time favorite (or least favorite as the case is) is: 'MS mail' HAL, DJS and I work with a woman who cannot say e-mail for some reason. She insists on calling it MS mail. But then she has had a stick up her @$$ for 51 years, and she's only 50, so... On an unrelated topic, I think I got a dud CD at the Virgin Records Megastore in Columbus, Ohio. Here is my moral dilemma (I will not be back in Columbus until the second week of December, and I cannot wait that long to listen to the new Foo Fighters disc): would I be in the wrong if I took it to Target for an even exchange? They are such a giant corporation and can better absorb the loss than me, a poor lad who is barely getting by.

My least favorite corporate phrases of the decade: 'Let's talk about your issues.' 'FYI' 'Just a heads-up...' 'I need that report ASAP.' ' Per my conversation with so-and-so...' 'Team meeting' 'Could you cc: me on that? Great. Thanks.' 'Please advise.' 'You need to update your calendar.' 'Efficient workflow' 'Your e-mails come across as hostile.' Somebody stop me!

You're right, Duf. 'Final Chapter' was a bit harsh. Mix beer and HAL, and the Jig Off has the potential to be never-ending. Living in Minneapolis does sound logical doesn't it? The thing is, I split my time between Chicago and NYC. That makes me sound important right? News flash: I'm not. I saw 'Frida' again last night with a friend here in NY. Even better the second time!

I went mental at the Virgin records megastore in Columbus. I am officially broke now, but I beefed up the collection by adding 2 graphic novels (my first) by Daniel Clowes, 10 cd's and 2 dvd's. Being so close to Christmas and all, I thought I would look out for myself by getting things for me and only for me. To quote DJS's buddy: 'I rock.'

urlLink This is strange . I used to work there, and now they are getting sued. It's just very weird to read about the work environment, and to know the people they are talking about, and to have seen the behavior firsthand. I never thought of it as sexual harassment (if anyone even swore around me, they always apologized) but I guess this woman was deeper in the trenches with the sales force than I was. Anyways, it's just so strange...

Don't laugh, but missing her smiling face every morning has left me feeling very sad and ungreeted. *sniff sniff* So are we going to see the other Mpls-based pandylanders at the bar on Saturday OR WHAT!!! We kicked off my unemployment at the Country Bar, and I think we should close it that way as well. Maybe Gino will be there!?!!?!
