just had one of these

it was delicious.

That sounds interesting. I'd try it.

I am 85% cheap beer . The shittier, the better. I'm rather fond of the $3.99 12 packs of PBR light I get by my crib

That's even cheaper than we get them in Wisconsin and all our beer is cheaper around here than everywhere I've been.

On a good day:

I have more bad days than good.

I don't know if you're hopped up on pain meds and can't make your own or not, but Rachael Ray has some damn fine mac n cheese recipes. My fave is New York Deli Style. The Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese recipe is pretty awesome, too.

Does anyone really read anything by that damned chicken/bunny?

Rhythm Chicken is one of my favorites in Razorcake, along with Rev. Nørb. I'm hoping see one of chicken's performances at a show someday. I figure we live in the same state and listen to the same kind of music. It's bound to happen eventually.

Sending a chuck to my Grandma to start paying her back for my car and getting a television.

is this for sure not coming out? interpunk still has it available with this description:

"There has been a delay in the manufacturing of this LP that is beyond our control. If you have ordered this LP your order will ship as soon as we get them. We apologize for any inconvinience this may have caused you."

they have it as #6 in lp sales for the past 3 weeks, thats gotta be a ton of copies

I preordered the record from the label rather than through interpunk. Here is the e-mail message I got yesterday afternoon from Kid Tested Records:

Subject: Squirtgun LP

Hi,

Sorry for the long wait. We have had major problems and delays, obviously, with the Squirtgun LP, and have decided, based on speaking with the pressing plant about the still unresloved issues, that it does not make sense to press the LPs. The CD has been out for so long that it's really too late at this point. You ordered an LP, so I can either send you a Squirtgun CD instead, or send you a Paypal refund for the LP.

Please let me know what you want to do.

Sorry again for the delay,

Dave / Kid Tested Records

This one's old. I recall someone putting her cell # on 4chan or something and she was getting calls at all hours of the night. Ultimately, she had to get her phone deactivated and she put up a retraction that was equally as hilarious.

The cover art for that second one is the same as the cover art on the Graceland 7".

I just got an e-mail saying the vinyl pressing has been cancelled due to "unresolved issues" with the pressing plant. Damn, I was really looking forward to this one.

The Jetty Boys are pretty much awesome. They're the remnants of The Leghounds.

a 64oz flask!

i will be wrecked when it comes later this week.

How are you going to hide that thing? I thought the main benefit of a flask was that it was pretty inconspicuous.

If you're going the route of buying a new computer, be it mac, dell or anything else, any savy(read: geeky) friend should be able to get your old files off, at worst, by using a hard drive enclosure. That'll only work if your hard drive isn't dead. It sounds like the hard drive isn't the problem because the machine would, at the very least, still POST and tell you there's no operating system without a working HD.

Gave: head

Got: herpes

KIDDING

Was gonna post something similar, but I'll tell what I really did instead:

Gave: Set up my buddy's new computer with Ubuntu Linux, copied over all his pr0n and music.

Got: Free IHOP, scheduled my tattoo

Alright, I'll go again.

There's this girl I met online probably about a year ago. We sent some e-mails back and forth and she seemed pretty cool. Loves punk rock, horror movies, she reads books, all good things. Anyways, we set up a day to have coffee together but then she flakes. "Oh, I'm getting my hair done." Okay, well let's do it next week then. Okay, but then she flakes again, so I gave up on that one, but we still kinda stayed in contact a little. I do, however, know for a fact this girl checks my blog every day, at least once a day. She's still single and doesn't want to be. Should I try my hand at this again?

Now I want White Castle, but the closest one is three hours away...

Road trip!

Okay, I'll bring this over from the dateless losers thread:

This girl gave me her number after about a week of e-mailing back and forth on okcupid. She seems pretty much fucking awesome, she likes Battlestar Galactica and isn't against watching Doctor Who. I was hesitant to call her but finally found the nuts to call her on Tuesday after pacing around my house for an hour. The call lasted 45 seconds, she said she was busy and she'd call me back. On Friday, she sent me an e-mail on okcupid say she was "SOOOOOOO sorry she hadn't called and would and that I shouldn't feel thwarted." It's now Sunday night and no word. What the fuck do I do? I don't want to call her and seem like an impatient bastard but I don't want to sit around in limbo, either.

absolutely do not make the next move. you already made the first.

she told you she'll call. either she will and you'll be happy, or she won't, and you should be happy about that too. because instead of beating around the bush for 3 months with her and THEN finding out she's a total flake, you'd be finding out immediately.

if she still hasn't made any contact with you by wednesday, send her another e-mail on okcupid saying "thought i was gonna hear from you but i'm actually glad you didn't call because i had to go out of town last-minute this past weekend. do you have any plans this upcoming weekend? my number is 588-2300, let me know when you want to meet up this weekend and get some coffee or something."

you're not asking her out, you're telling her you're going out. girls like assertiveness. you also "had plans" which means you're in demand. girls like a guy who they feel is out there doing things.

the ball, again, would be in her court. if she doesn't call you THIS time, then you know it's never going to happen. if she does, you'll end up having a cute little first date and who knows where things could go from there?

I appreciate the advice, but after thinking about things, I figure I've got to accept that if she's not calling, she's just not that in to me. A reply now trying to set something up would be demeaning to me and I don't need that. I guess I'm not as desperate as I thought.

I LOVED the red Dr. Pepper and I'm still very pissed that they discontinued it, it was sooo damn good.

Wow, I really need to stop reading this stuff. This woman with 14 kids pisses me off more and more each day.

point taken!

i tend to find new music perusing myspace, blogs etc.

I do that, too, but there's always some out there that you might have missed. And their ska show, skanarhea or however it's spelled, was so great. They'd play those old ska bands that I'd forgotten existed. It tended to be worth the twelve bucks a month after a couple hours in the car.

i never understood why, if people have an ipod with all thier favorite music that you can easily make into playlists, they would want to pay for satellite radio.

unless it was to listen to talk shows.

My ipod probably isn't going to expose me to music that I've never heard before. Satellite radio managed to do just that for me when I had it. I promptly ditched it the day fungus was taken off the air. Sucks too, because I could listen to NHL games on satellite.

Hey! This is actually still available - you just have to click on "Select which shop you wish to use:" at the top and click on the UK flag.

They are 21.99 pounds each (whoa).

Still there as far as I can tell.

Thank you! You, sir, are a gentleman and scholar.

limbos the worst.

Damn straight! I gotta know if I should just let this one go, even though she seems pretty awesome.
