IF JESUS GOT A FRESH START THAN IDIOTS CAN TOO MOLLIFY THREAD MARK WHATEVER YEAR THIS AMEN

I want a drink

specifically, i want a bartender to make me a fancy drink which i can sup upon and enjoy with vigor

Perhaps someone can suggest a local bar...

Is Vigor a friend and does he join you often in liquid refections?

i wish

ok that does it, somebody i know is getting renamed "vigor"

He's like Igor's cousin who lives in Bratislava, right?

(anybody who shows up with the "no you dont understand, vigor is the name of my dog" trope is getting threadbanned btw)

You say that as if there's anything louche about drinking with one's dog! Man's best friend, indeed, if you can both go out and get heated together.

This does remind me of a local friend who, when he's getting hammered, will invariably say that he's getting 'vigorously drunk'.

i drink with my dog all the time, but he is a teetotaler, which would be fantastic but he also cant drive

AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT IS

i would consider middle naming my first born vigor if you did something SUPER awesome for me, jjjjjjjjj.

I just had a dream the other night that I had a new baby boy (wow, was I surprised). If this ever happens, "Vigor" definitely going into my top ten middle name choices. Because "James Vigor" >>>> "James Louis." (Sorry, Grandpa.)

someone i know should also be named moxie

so i could go out and drink with vigor and moxie obv

etymology of the word moxie makes this all the more apropos tbh, which i had not thought of until deciding to name someone it

It is becoming painfully clear that I have been overly conservative with my naming choices.

I'd love to name my daughter Moxie Brass.

THE TIME IS NOW

ok well not right now unless you have a spare unnamed daughter lying around

"Hi, honey care for a shag? The internets made it clear I have to make a daughter pronto."

Not to mention the 50% chance that you'd wind up with a *son* named Moxie Brass...

Well, the son will be named Matte.

It's good to have several options, just in case.

Drinking should happen right now this second

So says me

3 hours for me unless i start drinking at work

which

but no

Tomorrow is the kid's last day of school, so I should definitely be starting with Dan here...

Swimming lessons for the kids start tomorrow morning. Hope they don't freeze... and that I can get out of bed and get them there on time.

bah swimming is for people that cant afford yachts

We can barely afford swimsuits, never mind the yachts!

Gotta say this went FAR better than I thought it would; kids swam in the rain and I worried about it, but they had fun. 4lex can't wait to pass the first level and start learning to SWIM. This is crazy, since it was just a few months ago that he wouldn't put his face in the water. J I'm less surprised about, but still!

I have rediscovered why basketball (and sports in general) are fun to watch, and that reason is this:

It is an ironclad excuse to go over to a friend's house and drink without appearing sad/pathetic.

But does the drinking make sports interesting...?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

tza, I will have to believe you... maybe I can find out myself one of these days!

and that day is... TODAY

VIRTUAL DRINKING PARTY GAME 6 NBA FINALS WOO

btw anyone else preorder the new iPhone? I feel kind of like a chump but srsly it's the first iPhone that I've really, really WANTED as opposed to getting for free/replacing a lost one and not wanting to deal with reshuffling my account line and data plan.

you've just gotten over your guilt at being rich, probably

Probably!

btw which luxury car should I buy for my new iPhone

okay, obv. time to see if Dan and J. will adopt me.

A. is ordering the new iPhone today, too, btw. I will be envious!

We'll see about watching these "NBA finals;" I'm going out with the Widows tonight...

i would get excited about ordering the new iphone if it you know worked as a fucking phone half the time. also, bandwidth allotment plans = lick my balls.

That's some seriously odd niche kink.

we minnesotans are a private people, we find what we can to get by

"Hmm, is that a bandwidth allotment plan laying there? Yeah, looks like it is." Looks around to see if anyone else is in the house. "Hey ababy, you're looking mighty fine!"

lol John, the bandwidth allotment plan is cheaper than the current "unlimited" plan from every conceivable angle:

avg price/MB in the current plan: 10 cents
avg price/MB in the 2GB plan: 1 cent

plus the current plan is a baseline $30/month/phone + massive overage charges and the new plan is $25/month/phone with predictable, difficult to reach overage charges

I had the same initial reaction but like 5 seconds of googling gives you a lot of innnnnnnteresting info

I guess the iPhone is perfect for ppl like me, who use it pretty much as a text-capable iPod that can surf the web for porn restaurants

I don't need one and barely use the crappy cell phone I have, but I WANT one!!!

Of course, I do like to surf for restaurants.

nah i get that its going to be cheaper but i kind of dig what a dude on lol npr was saying about the idea that limitations on access change the way people use these devices and that that is a huge step backward - ie mopes like me that dont look into it are going to be all freaked out about whther they should stream last.fm while they cut their lawn

um yeah, I am online dangerously close to 24/7 with my phone whether it be online games, internet radio apps, or apps that do a combo of googling and gps work, and I AVERAGE something like 20 MB of data used per month

I think streaming last.fm is gonna be okay for you; just a hunch

on that basis, au contraire,
No oasis, too much hair

judge for yrself

sara i have some invites.

^^^ get yr Spotify from him, enjoy my playlists

you lost me with that whitesnake song

i now stand in stalwart opposition to your campaign

you realize that I am now going to fill your inbox with Whitesnake songs, right

normally a fella buys a lady a drink first

(in my defense that is the only Whitesnake song I like)

normally a fella buys a lady a drink first

lol

compare/contrast to my "oh right, I like these hip-hop artists too" section:

"Jezebel" - Dizzee Rascal
"99 Problems" - Jay-Z
"Love Lockdown" - Kanye West
"6 Foot 7 Foot" - Lil Wayne
"When Will They Shoot?" - Ice Cube
"Drop It Like It's Hot" - Snoop Dogg
"Hand on the Pump" - Cypress Hill
"Jump Around" - House of Pain
"King of Rock" - Run-DMC
"It Wasn't Me" - Shaggy feat. RickRock
"Rosa Parks" - Outkast

all of this comes immediately after a Kitchens of Distinction song

i am glad i am not the only person who likes 6' 7'

if Lil Wayne was in that mode all the time and not doing shit like "Lollipop", I would understand better why everyone is always on his jock

yeah lollipop is kind of awful.

oh hey this could be my secret place to talk about music without wading through ilm

don't forget you can drag/drop tracks onto users you are following in Spotify

You JUST figured this out, John? *rolls eyes*

xpost would love an invite from anyone, I think, but you know, what do I have to do to get one, exactly...

I still haven't killed anyone who didn't deserve it, is what I'm saying. There are lines that should not be crossed.

send thebingo an ILX webmail with an email address he can use to invite you

EASY PEASY

You write that like I have an idea how to send an ILX webmail...

Why yes, hello, my name is Sara and we have been friends for many years, and yes, I still require help... how do you do?

click the username, then the "send a webmail" link

your email address is never sent, so make sure you include one in the msg that can be used for the invite

Cool... thx!

(assuming I don't screw it up, lol...)

worst thing that could happen is you accidentally send all of your private information to an unstable sniper rifle/night-vision goggles collector

probably there would be an upside there, too; at least I wouldn't be stuck at home with the kids all day every day for summer vacation anymore...

yay Walt Mink tonite

hope they haven't sold out

little envious tbh

good luck, deX and have fun for all of us, esp John

dear thebingo, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Y'all, this next band has a violinist

Hold me

I could deal with the bluegrass dude but fiddler chica may break me

Omg I was so worried about fiddler girl I was unprepared for how terribad this lead singer is

Also the bass, guitar and violin are all slightly out of tune with each other, by about a quarter step in total

Please let Walt Mink come out early

You guys thus band is awful

ffs

Hooray they are done

Gimme Mink

I hope you weren't eaten by the fiddler girl or anything. That would be awkward.

Oh. My. God.

FANTASTIC SHOW

!!!!

:)

guys i heard from reliable sources that dan had a terrible time at the walt mink show

The second opening band was a nightmare tbh

Glad you enjoyed it (John, you can imagine me kicking you in the shin here), but sorry about the 2nd opening band. I don't know that I've ever heard an opening band that I thought, "WOW, that was GREAT!" Maybe bc I don't get to may shows, ever...

the first dude was a one-man bluegrass band; he was good for about 10 minutes but his set lasted 40

i want to know the names of these people so that i can avoid them in the future

i have seen some AMAZING opening bands, but that is def not always the case

bluegrass guy = Eric Royer (honestly he was good, he just should have only done like 3 songs instead of 10 because it got old REALLY fast; he did an awesome song about hunting a man-killing boar tho)

terribad band = Fax Holiday (the songs were actually kind of cool but none of them were in tune with each other and I hated the singer)

hahahahahahaha FAX HOLIDAY hahaa i guess we really are running out of band names huh

pretty much

I felt bad for them, they clearly knew how to play their instruments but the bass was sooooooo sharp and the violin was sooooooo flat compared to the guitar, it torpedoed pretty much everything they tried to do

also the singer sounded like the dude from Pavement with a cold

well that description doesn't sound very promising; FAX HOLIDAY, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME

Y/N I should start a thread for ridiculous sentences in romance novels.

Example: "When I take a woman I am the only man whose rod comes inside her. There will be no comparisons, at least no immediate ones."

(The best part of that is that after he gets her to dismiss her other lovers, he goes to her place the next night. I guess his definition of "immediate" is something like, "within three hours.")

ya i know a plumber like that tbh

haha
