The Contino: So how was Eric's thing?
The Contino: I would have gone, but around five I got this ridiculous headache and did not feel like subjecting myself to loud noises
Jimmy: it was really dead but like Zoe/Karl/Michel were there so whatever
Jimmy: we all left around 11:45
Jimmy: the highlight of the evening for me was one of the dudes Eric was rapping with hitting on this girl in a blue dress
Jimmy: which was unflattering for her frame
Jimmy: because it was really tight on her
Jimmy: and I won't say she was fat but she was, well, really doughy
Jimmy: so like the stomach area of the dress was like yeah here is her beer gut
The Contino: Ha, aww
Jimmy: it was all mashed up too
Jimmy: since the dress was all like form fitting
Jimmy: well form fitting for someone with a more flattering form
Jimmy: she should invest in a size or two higher
Jimmy: though then again I guess Arlington Cafe is like a skank bar
The Contino: 'all mashed up'?
Jimmy: so like if you need some slumpbusters then I guess it is the place to go
The Contino: Slumpbusters
The Contino: Too many rofls
Jimmy: it's like two bars
Jimmy: and in the other side of it
Jimmy: Bar 2 I will call it
Jimmy: there were a bunch of dudes who I think were waiting the late night skank rush
Jimmy: just a bunch of fat guys in those stupid looking polo shirts that meatheads wear
Jimmy: YEAH BRO WE GONNA GET SOME PUSSY TONIGHT
Jimmy: RIGHT BRO
Jimmy: YEAH BRO
The Contino: TOTALLY BROSEF
Jimmy: I'll stick with Scully's where I can get hit on by swingers and 40 year olds
Jimmy: YEEEEAHHHHHH
The Contino: Nothing wrong with sticking with a good gig
The Contino: Heh
The Contino: 'good'
The Contino: 'stick'
Jimmy: lol
The Contino: Giggity
Jimmy: that's what she said
The Contino: 'Gig'gity
Jimmy: Matthews was heard loudly discussing what seemed to be his strategy for landing Russert's "Meet the Press" show at Wednesday's memorial reception for the NBC Washington bureau chief at the Kennedy Center in DC. After Brian Williams, Carl Bernstein, David Gergen, Barbara Walters and NBC brass eulogized their friend, Matthews huddled with an unidentified "agent type" and seemed to be plotting.
According toour spy, "Chris, with his loud voice, was going over a pitch for Tim'sjob. He was saying, 'You know, Tim's thing was this, and my thing isthat.' It was unbelievably tacky."
Meanwhile, Matthews' MSNBC cablecohort Olbermann, who was also at the memorial, is "threatening to quitif he isn't installed as Russert's replacement," another insider said."I know, it sounds ludicrous, but, then, Keith Olbermann is ludicrous."
Jimmy: man Keith Olbermann is fucking awesome
The Contino: Yeah, I am a fan of his
The Contino: He makes really pretty words for my Republican hate
Jimmy: yeah he does that and he has an ego that I will apply the new adjective "Kanye-ian" towards
Jimmy: a Kanye-ian ego is one that is massive and would be totally fucking annoying if the person who had it wasn't totally awesome
The Contino: Ha, Kenseian, meet Kanyeian
The Contino: Whoops, Keynesian
Jimmy: I had to Google that
Jimmy: I am not ashamed to admit I know nothing of economics
The Contino: Secretly, I like economics
The Contino: It's my strongest break from the Democrat platform, as well
The Contino: Turns out economic isolationism is great in the short run, but you fuck yourself over in the long run
The Contino: Whoooooooooo white man wealth
Jimmy: I didn't know the Dems advocated economic isolationism
Jimmy: I don't think anyone with a brain in this current world would advocate such a thing really
Jimmy: regardless of party lines
Jimmy: I mean I guess it plays well in the sticks but fuck those people
The Contino: Obama is a protectionist
The Contino: I'll vote for him anyway, but still
The Contino: It's the goddam unions
The Contino: I'm kinda anti union
Jimmy: the President has very little say in economics really
The Contino: For an example of why, I need but one word: DETROIT
Jimmy: of course during the first two years or so of his presidency he is going to get a ton of shit heaped on him for the recession
The Contino: Fucking bankers
The Contino: I'd kill them all myself if I could
Jimmy: lol
Jimmy: I have had this whole subprime thing explained to me like 15 times by people who are much smarter than I am and I still don't know what the hell is going on
Jimmy: like I said I am clueless
The Contino: "I'll take your money, give you 2% interest, give it to some other yob, charge him 15% interest, and then ruin the economy because 13% profit on money that isn't ours isn't greedy enough!"
The Contino: Oh man, the subprime thing makes me so angry
The Contino: They're handing down the first arrests
Jimmy: yeah I didn't even know people were getting arrested
The Contino: But its too late, the fucking Fed cut rates and tanked the dollar all so the people that fucked us up won't have to close shop and, I dunno, find non-sheister jobs
Jimmy: go me
The Contino: It strikes me as odd that I, someone arguably withing striking distance of the lowest metric of socioeconomic status, should get so worked up about what happens to billions and billions of dollars
The Contino: /shrug
Jimmy: ha
The Contino: Also within
Jimmy: I am a weird looking person who gets annoyed by ugly people so whatever
The Contino: lolololololol
The Contino: Thank you Jimmy, once again, for perspective
Jimmy: I should maybe talk to my BA prof/the guy I did research for last summer about this stuff
Jimmy: since like this is one of his main things
Jimmy: since it partially had to do with like hedge funds and such and his main wheelhouse is like mutual/hedge funds and corporate governance effects on boards
Jimmy: ftr I have no clue what anything I wrote means
The Contino: That's fine, you're still right
Jimmy: but I got a good grade in his class and he didn't hate my work
The Contino: If he is a real person and not a walking pile of books, he is probably also incensed
The Contino: It is hard not to be
Jimmy: I think he was more into detached cynicism
Jimmy: so you know more like how I view things
The Contino: For my part, I would regulate the fuck out of those assholes
The Contino: I would regulate their fucking
Jimmy: ha
Jimmy: look I just want a class war I think it would be pretty funny
Jimmy: and probably fairly cathartic
Jimmy: I think rich people are douchebags and poor people are stupid so I have no dog in the race
The Contino: But the rich people would win
The Contino: All the poor people get together and get, what, one AK-47 per block?
Jimmy: yeah but a few of them would still die
The Contino: And rich people are all running around with deagles and bodyguards
Jimmy: and that's what really matters
The Contino: The rich people are like the final fight bosses
The Contino: Minus the huge lifebars
Jimmy: the poor people will be like Russia in WW II
The Contino: I am totally 10000000% for this
Jimmy: bodies bodies bodies
