My Sock Busting Policy (from your lowly FB Mod)
 

The policy is that no mods can see IP addresses or other identifying information..

So, sock away.

And not only that, but the way the board logs IP addresses makes it exceedingly difficult to cross-reference them with other users, so even if an admin wanted to track down people's socks, it wouldn't be a real easy process. It can be done, but it's not really worth it just to figure out socks. If it's a security/outing/stalking/TOS violation issue, then it's a different story.

Nice TIST reference. SD, you have been on fire lately.

What is TIST?

This is Spinal Tap. Please tell me you've heard of this one.

Absolutely nothing.

Yes--recently watched it, actually. Just didn't make the connection. I guess I should have turned my speakers up to eleven.

Actually, it was a dog named Snuggles.

After the copyright battle with U2 forcing them to pull "U2" off the shelves, Negativland subsequently released fuck-you albums entitled "The Letter U and the Numeral 2" and "These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit." I have my cassette of "U2" --- wish I'd thought to get it on CD before it got banned --- and it does my heart good to hear it. It's still not as funny as the stuff they did on KPFA, but it takes me back to bright college days.

huh?
 

Actually, Paigow, I thought that "you can't handle my heat" was a Birdcage reference. Picturing Hank Azaria in those shorts and imagining his over the top Guatemalan accent is good for a laugh. You're a born entertainer, I tell you.

How much more black could this be? and the answer is: None. None...more black.

Confused. What were you quoting?

Outtakes from Casey Casum. There's a rather famous one of his losing it when someone sent in a long distance dedication about their dead dog.

The interenet is a wonderful thing, because it allowed all of us to hear Casey Casum to go off about the dedication.

Edited to add a link to the dedication

Seriously, Folks . . .
 

That one's easy. They're doing amazing things with angioplasty and stenting these days.

Silence of the Lambs, hence the pic of Buffalo Bill.

You can just call me Bill for short.

I think LTL was nodding assent to TM's misquote of a famous line from Silence of the Lambs - but I could be mistaken.

Thanks. Totally missed it. Other than the fava beans bit, the line I remember best from that movie is when he digs at Clarice: "with your good purse and your cheap shoes . . ."

(I almost wrote "the most memorable line." Thank heavens I stopped myself.)

This morning I saw a bumper sticker "I [heart] mullets"

The odd thing was, the car (actually an SUV, big surprise there) didn't have TX license plates, it had CA plates.

On a largely unrelated note, why is it that people who buy tacky ugly cars get them in colors like bright yellow?

She was an American Girl
 

Maybe the ugly-colored cars are cheaper.


Ahhhh, the little people, how they do amuse....

She was an American Girl
 

H2s are pretty expensive. Yet tacky and ugly. I think those little midget runt cars are not so expensive, but also are tacky and ugly (and seem to come in bright yellow not infrequently).

She was an American Girl
 

Are you saying you don't find my mullet attractive?

-TL

H2s piss me off. I feel the moral indignation rise in my throat when I see asshole yuppies driving them in my close-in neighborhood. And when I see the temp. tags on them I think I'm just going to lose it. To buy one of those fucking monsters at any time is appalling, but at this particular point is just the ultimate in selfish individualistic I don't give a shit-ism. I think people who need to signal their status with their cars are pathetic.

Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead driving a Ford Taurus, but that's a matter of style, not of status. I simply appreciate the finer engineering, handling, and styling of more expensive vehicles from the motherland.

very nicely done
 

You should win some kind of prize for posting that in four minutes. (Either that, or your TM's sock, which I doubt very much.) What kind of prize, I'm not sure.

Foreign car buyers piss me off. I feel the moral indignation rise in my throat when I see asshole yuppies driving them in my close-in neighborhood. And when I see the temp. tags on them I think I'm just going to lose it. To send our currency overseas at any time is appalling, but at this particular point is just the ultimate in selfish individualistic I don't give a shit-ism. I think people who need to signal their status with their cars are pathetic.

Car hypocrisy
 

I know you drive an SUV, Mister.

And FTR, the second paragraph was tongue-in, er, nevermind. You know what I mean.

Pardon my ignorance, RP and bilmore, but I don't get the temp tag thing.

Unless the temp tags expired in Feb.

H2s are fugly.

And now for something completely different
 

WSJ's Weekend section today posted a review of various miniskirts. Without taking into account the models used, Banana Republic was best overall "hands down" (their words; not mine); Ann Taylor's stretch denim was declared best value (although I think it's horrid); bebe was third (but should have won, in my opinion)

The paper also ran an interesting article on why cars all of a sudden are getting uglier. (I suspect that the designers were simply trying to put a Fonda in the back of the Honda, but I'm not down with that. . .)

temp tags
 

When I see a temp tag it means the person strolled into the H2 dealer when we knew war was certain or when it had already begun; and after the price gouging of gasoline had begun. It's just so conspicuous and in-your-face. That's really the part that turns me off. A Suburban or a Tahoe doesn't make me quite that mad. As a grocery-getter or a regular commuting vehicle, it's a little recockulous, but for people with lots of kids, dogs, gear, active lifestyles and the whole bit, I see the appeal. Who wants to drive a minivan?

Given the flood of 2001, I'm surprised that there aren't more H2s running around here. I know personally one couple that has one, and I give them hell whenever I can about it.

Domestic car manufacturers piss me off. I feel moral indignation rise in my throat when I see asshole execs foisting crap upon drivers in my close-in neighborhood. And when I see them try to badge-engineer I'm just going to lose it. To sell us shitty machines at any time is appalling, but at this particular point is just the ultimate in selfish, government-tit sucking, I don't give a shit-ism. I think that companies that can't build qulity products yet expect to remain in business are pathetic.

edit: spelling

Hey! There are enough maniacs on the road who fail to use their signals. Don't give them any excuses.

For a loving and informative defense of the fine mullet, from Ancient Rome to Billy Ray Cyrus, try "Mullets: Hairstyle of the Gods," available on www.amazon.com.

Where I grew up, you had executive-in-training Wall Street hair or you were severely beaten. Which certainly made those guys assholes, but, as they rationalized, at least not rednecks.

.... raised on promises.
 

Perhaps you could do a Venn diagram for the class?

Apropos of nothing, thanks to whomever created the re line. I now have that song playing on my mental sound track. Little people like me enjoy that song.

And by "little people like me" I mean Dave Matthews and Fleetwood Mac and Jamaica liking proles. Not "little people" as in midgets. NTTAWWT. Unless you count dwarf-tossing, which is now illegal. And therefore "wrong" on some level. Despite the fact that it's consensual. Maybe it's wrong despite the consent thingy because it reflects a power disparity. After all, midgets can't toss Not Midgets. I mean, I guess they could if they were strong midgets. Or the Not Midgets were kids or something. But then you would have an age of consent issue.

I think I love you.

I could never decide if that song was offensive and sexist because it was all about women's asses, or whether it was pro-woman and liberating because it was about big fat asses.

I wish I was a little bit taller....I wish I was a baller
 

Actually, it's a "sampling" of an old yiddish joke: Yeah, and if Bubbe had baytzim she'd be Zayde.

Translation: if Granny had balls, she'd be Grandpa.

Sheeeesh..... You schwartzes and your ignorance!
