Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 My baby is trying to ride my dog like a horse. I've been watching too many Clint Eastwood movies around her.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Puppy=infant in some respects, with one notable exception(off the top of my head, there are certainly more): You don't have to worry about your puppy trying to kill himself every five seconds.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 These people have a fucking 2 year old girl, you'd think they'd be capable of having a puppy.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Are they good parents(that you can tell)? There's usually a correlation. Seriously, in the last 48 hours I have turned around to see: 1) Baby with a bunch of electrical cords in her hand, with her best "LOOK AT ME, DADDY! I'm going to pull this 36" TV on top of my skull! Watch me, it'll be fun!" face. and 2) Baby tried taking a nosedive off of the couch(it seriously looked like an cruise missile) face-first onto the hardwood floor when I had the temerity to try to go to the bathroom. I've had my dog since he was a puppy, and while he may be(lovably) dumb as a rock, I could at least take a nap around him.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 That's a good point, and I'm not sure. I only ever see them all together walking to the elevator and the wife and little girl are usually silent. I was in our spare bedroom by the walkway with our window open one night and I do recall the wife getting onto the husband for smacking the girl, and he defensively said that he didn't hit her that hard. I don't want to jump to conclusions because maybe the girl did something bad and she received a spanking, or maybe he accidentally hit her (I am super clumsy and have managed all sorts of injuries that, with no context, would look like straight up abuse), so I can't make any judgement. I'm not too impressed with the few interactions I've had with them though.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Somehow I have found myself in the time suck that is VH1. I've been watching 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s for the last several hours. I've gone through an entire box of Kleenex in the last 24 hours and I feel like my head is going to explode. I'm thinking about going to bed but I don't know if I have enough pillows to prop myself up so I can be comfortable. What a stellar Friday night. Here's #22 for you:
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Is that a real typewriter or one of these: I'm not sure which is dumber.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 I wish my baby monitor would pick up on the police scanner. My neighbors across the street have no less than 3 law enforcement vehicles over there and I'd kind of like to know what's going on. Last time I saw a police car over there they had the 13 year old boy in handcuffs for pulling a gun on someone.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Guys, guys, guys. Jeremy Scahill is on Bill Maher. I <3 that man. Plus, I know it might tread the line of religion/politics, but I thought this was cute: Spoiler
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 I'd totally hate on him with you except I've been seriously thinking about buying a manual typewriter lately. Though I'm not nearly obnoxious enough to take it to a public place and start clacking away on the thing. It'd be meta-hipster.

Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Did you one up him with some papyrus scrolls? Maybe a stone tablet and a chisel?
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Turns out it was a fire. I went outside to "get something out of the car" to check it out. I didn't see any flames but the fire truck was spraying the back of the house, so I'm assuming. Mr. abneretta just got home and I didn't get to see the top 7 songs of the '90s. Bullshit.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 This is my favourite of all time. What this photo says. Jesus. Christ. What a tool starved for attention. ..I would love to dump a pot of hot coffee on his face. The problem is that eccentricity doesn't work anymore. After 1 Man 1 Jar, there's nothing left to shock us with. Back in the 1950's, Milton Bearle would dress up in drag and viewers watching at home would laugh themselves sick. Once people started using it as a personal attention device, I would have to walk around in public wearing nothing but leather underwear, mesh socks and a tailed dinner jacket accented with a necklace made from the eyeballs of all the stray cats I beat to death with rocks just so I could appear "different", "edgy" or God willing, "fuckable." Now you have hipsters: All you have to do is anti-anything, and you're cooler than everybody else. Hair cut with plastic safety scissors. Glasses large enough to fit the Teddy Roosevelt face on Mt. Rushmore. Clothes stolen from Salvation Army bins. And dragging around a heavy antique typewriter in public for attention. Or dragging a fucking TURNTABLE and vinyl out in public for attention. Just look at them. Seriously. If not, they'll die.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Number one was Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. I've seen the special. After a long day, it is time to drink like a fish that can only survive on alcohol.
Re: Thursday Drunk Thread, 'Cause I Do What I Want! 5/17/12 Partly because they're neat and I could use them to write letters (yes, I send letters and postcards). Partly I think it'd be a neat exercise, not having a backspace. My normal speech is way too full of halts and aborted attempts at phrases and I wonder how much of that is because my whole life I've had a backspace key and could stop and go back. In school you're only really judged on sentence structure when writing an essay. But really, I think having a typewriter will enable me to finally come up with that awesome plot for that novel I've wanted to write since I was a moody 16 year old. In other news one of those para-friends on my facebook feed posted a dramatic update about a plane engine shutting off, jettisoning fuel, and making an "emergency" landing. I feel like pointing out that it really couldn't have been an emergency landing if they took the time to dump fuel first. But then, telling white suburbanites convinced they just went through a legitimately scary and life-threatening experience that they never really left their bubble after all doesn't lead to any good places. In further other news:
