Sorry! They're pretty much all like this. That's why I have abstracts, so you can get the gist without blowing your head up.

Har! What a delightful image!

you're a horrible homo if you just discovered that abomination.

datlowen April 5 2006, 19:33:52 UTC

Dude. I told you that I watch car racing, right?

icecrmassasin April 5 2006, 19:34:26 UTC

I play fantasy football...point???

datlowen April 5 2006, 19:40:35 UTC

Apparently I'm a worse homo than you are. Unless playing fantasty football is somehow worth more negative gay points than watching car racing, but I kind of doubt that. I need the gay manual for this!

sacrelige.

Ahem.

I saw your new icon and didn't think of Murder She Wrote... instead I though of the old Stephen J. Cannell logo at the end of shows like the A-Team. With him sitting at the type writer, thowing the paper up in the air and it landing on a stack that picked up a few extra leaves and became a C.

That joke is a war crime. As is Britney covering Joan Jett.

Re: Word of the Day... Gay coworker comes up to me this morning and says, "Umm, do you get the word of the day emailed to you?" and breaks out laughing. This of course happened right after I opened up my browser wherein the word of the day is displayed on my Google home page right smack in the middle and snorted as well. So yay for puerile minds!

Re: MSW's 12 seasons... I believe that later seasons though only featured Jessica as a narrator type person. Please tell me that you had to look up Angela having won 4 Tonys?

datlowen April 5 2006, 19:37:55 UTC

Why do you have sacrelige in quotes at the top there?

I remember that old Cannell logo, although I have no idea what show it was that I saw it at the end of, since I didn't ever watch The A-Team.

CUM IS ALWAYS FUNNY. It's a part of the crotch joke hypthesis.

>I believe that later seasons though only featured Jessica as a narrator type person

Really? I have recollection of this, although since it only went off the air after I was already in college, I'd long since stopped watching it. So it could be.

>Please tell me that you had to look up Angela having won 4 Tonys?

Oh, God yes.

jgesteve April 5 2006, 19:48:02 UTC

Well he also did like 21 Jump Street and various other horrible TV atrocities ;-)

As for later season MSW, to be honest I'm not sure how I knew that she had moved into a narrator position. Perhaps I caught some on afternoon TV on like Lifetime at some point.

Oh, God yes.

Thanks god... 'cause I thought the world might be ending since I answered a Jeopardy question regarding football earlier today.

datlowen April 5 2006, 19:56:27 UTC

Hmm. I never watched 21 Jump Street either. I dunno! I bet Wikipedia would tell me.

>I thought the world might be ending since I answered a Jeopardy question regarding football earlier today.

Well, it might be ending anyway....

If it ever comes up, this is when I decided you were one of the funniest people I never met:
I HAVE FOUR TONYS!!! TALE AS OLD AS TIME!!! Oh, fuck you all.

Oh and (it's no brown and sticky, but it's pretty close!)
A STICK!!!

Ok, so what are your top five books?

datlowen April 5 2006, 19:53:12 UTC

Hee. You flatter me!

GOD I love that sticky joke.

(There's a second one: "What's brown and slippery?" "A SLIPPER!" which is also funny.)

>Ok, so what are your top five books?

Hmm. Well, Gravity's Rainbow is number one. To Kill a Mockingbird is in there. Uh. Uh. All Quiet on the Western Front was probably the best piece of fiction I read in college. Um. Uh. I really liked V. when I just re-read it a couple months ago. That four right? Um. Gimme a bit to think.

What're your five?

road_to_hell April 5 2006, 20:05:39 UTC

Wanna hear a dirty joke?
A boy fell in the mud!

Hm. My five would probably be more contemporary than youre five...(All Quiet on the Western Front? Seriously? Are all your books that depressing?)

I'm sure as soon as I press the submit button they'll change...

1) About a Boy by Nick Hornby
2) American Gods by Neil Gaiman
3) A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
4) Naked by David Sedaris
5) Monkeewrench by PJ Tracey

I'm not sure any of those were written before I graduated high school...
I think I need to think about this more...maybe compile a list of all the books I've read in school to see if any of them were favorites...it's been a while...This might be a fun project.

datlowen April 5 2006, 20:11:38 UTC

Yeah, I totally need to go back and look at my bookshelf to see if there are any I've missed, and I'm sure there are.

Oh, I love modern literature, too. I just haven't read a lot of it. I know there've been a couple books that have come out recently, but I don't remember what they are, or if my love for them will stand the test of time, you know? Like, I love the Harry Potter books, but, I dunno. They're not favorite book material in my head. Also I like a lot of sci-fi, but I feel dorky admitting that.

>(All Quiet on the Western Front? Seriously? Are all your books that depressing?)

It was so good! You get all the way to the end and then BLAM!! Oh, man. Er, but, no. V. and Gravity's Rainbow are just bizarre, not depressing (although both of those end with someone dying, too, so maybe I am damaged!
