DAMN I wish I had cable, just from 1100 to 1130 M-Th. Is that too much to ask? Hmmm? I don't even need any other channel. Just Comedy Central, just for that half hour.

And I hate it when socks don't dry in the dryer.

The universe, you see, is obviously conspiring against me tonight. Ok, I know that conspire kind of requires more than one, so, yeah, it's conspiring With some other universe--at least one... a gang of universes, ganging up against me, and in one of those universes, all those who have cable, now, do not have it, and those who don', do. Which means that cable is viewed only by me and a few Amish families, in that universe. But the entertainment industry is making sure you don't know about that universe, because everything there gets shitty ratings, because it turns out the Amish don't watch much TV, even when they can watch the Sopranos, the Dave Chapelle Show, the Gilmore Girls, or reruns of Seinfeld every night. We're not a very easy demographic to cater to...,

If you want Commedy Central for the John Stewart show you can always find the episodes floating around on kazaa or some other such program.
 
 
alas
02:16 / 09.11.04
But . . . this is the episode where I reveal to you that I'm a virgin. Sure, I talk a tough game, but it turns out I've never used kazaa. Is it safe? Will I get . . . you know, ...
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:17 / 09.11.04
Who knows...I've only used other peoples Kazaa. That would make me a what???
 
 
alas
02:18 / 09.11.04
And all these damp socks! Can kazaa help with that? And the one sock that has no mate. What about it? Does it have to go to some online mating service? What's its fold up line?
 
 
alas
02:19 / 09.11.04
That would make you a ... peeping kaz? a lurking kazoo? just unhygienic?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:19 / 09.11.04
With one mateless sock you have no choice but to turn it into a sockpuppet. Otherwise it will go feral and begin attacking other clothing.
 
 
alas
02:24 / 09.11.04
And if there are a whole drawerful of mateless socks, they just take over the whole house The house becomes a sock puppet. It's not pretty. And then Christo comes by and takes the credit...

(*pops head back in*)

It's a rerun anyway. They're bitching about Bush. They usually do.

(*glances around at damp socks, flees*)
 
 
alas
02:27 / 09.11.04
alas, alas must go to bed now. I hate to leave you alone here, Keggers, but surely some barbelither is still awake, at least on this continent . . . where are they? why haven't they joined our little tete a tete?
 
 
Saint Keggers

And then Christo comes by and takes the credit...

I almost spewed my coffee over the keyboard thank you!


Goodnight Alas!
 
 
alas
02:30 / 09.11.04
Ah, but they bitch about bush so well. As a woman, I appreciate that. Because bush stands for women. It's metonymic. Or is it synechdochic?

Good night, friends. And Keep Your Hands Off My Damp Socks!

So im just quietly sitting here listening to my mp3 collection when suddenly IRON MAIDEN comes on.
My head is banging all on its own!
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:41 / 09.11.04
and then Big Yellow Taxi comes on and headbanging is sadistically ended!
 
 
Bed Head
02:52 / 09.11.04
That laugh she does at the end always makes me want to bang my head against something.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:59 / 09.11.04
BH!!! How ya doing?
 
 
Bed Head
03:01 / 09.11.04
Ticketty-boo, thanks, your Kegness. Yourself?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:06 / 09.11.04
much better now that im outta the big yellow taxi and on to something more palatable.
 
 
Bed Head
03:33 / 09.11.04
...yes? Yes? Do tell. Believe it or not, I’m agog. I’ve just realised I’m listening to the World Business News again, for some reason. It’s the perfect moment if you want to blow someone away with your Impressive Playlist.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:44 / 09.11.04
Well, I just finnished listening to
"Wild Thing" by Tone Loc,
"Its a Good Life If You Dont Weaken" by The Tragically Hip,
"Punk Rock Girl" by The Dead Milkmen,
"Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra,
"Dear God" by XTC

and more...

Aaagh. I knew I shouldn't have succumbed to temptation and gone to be at six-thirty yesterday evening. Now I can't sleep and I can't do anything noisy that'll wake the neighbours.

Goooood moooorning Barbelith!
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:58 / 09.11.04
a giraffe's call can be heard by other giraffes over 5 kilometers away even if there are building in the way. Way to go ultrasonics!
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:03 / 09.11.04
Well folks, thats it for the ol kegmeister. Its time for this one to call it a night and get to sleep.

Goodnight barbelith, wherever you are!
 
 
Bed Head
04:06 / 09.11.04
Darn it. I’m bloody useless at this lateshifting lark lately. Goodnight, Keggers.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
04:18 / 09.11.04
Night, Keggers.

Still there, BH?
 
 
Bed Head
04:24 / 09.11.04
Oh, I’m always here. I’m just finding it unusually difficult to rally my fingers into typing. Stupid fingers.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
04:43 / 09.11.04
I'm just waiting until everyone in my building starts getting up and going to work so I can listen to loud music to kick-start my holiday. Unless I'm tired by then, in which case I'll go back to bed.
 
 
Bed Head
04:57 / 09.11.04
Or you can do both at once. In fact, get some headphones and you can do both right now. Could anything be more rock?

Woooo, holiday, by the way.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
05:05 / 09.11.04
Hmmm... I may do that. I just read issues 1 and 2 of WE3 and they've made me feel a little sad, but in total awe of Frank Quitely's artwork. And the power of animal killing machines, obviously.

Ooh... there goes the front door... people are getting up...
 
 
Bed Head
05:19 / 09.11.04
‘Tis a fantastic comic. And one I think I’ll still be re-reading for ages to come, which is everso nice, it’s like being small again and only having a few comics and still managing to get something out of them every time.

Or something. Ack. Normal people may be getting up, but I’m afraid I’m turning in. Speak later.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Night. Morning. Whichever!

Not really late here yet, but I'm bored, so is anyone around who wants to shift-it with me?

good evening, barbelites

now does dammerung mean twilight and/or dawn?
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
22:17 / 09.11.04
Twilight. As in gotterdammerung. "Dawn of the Gods", conversely, was an episode of Blakes 7. And not, with the best will in the world, a very good one.

Morning, all. I'm working, having unwisely gone to the pub. Unwisely not because I now find myself covered in feathers and blood, but only because it took *time*. How is everyone?
 
 
unheimlich manoeuvre
22:46 / 09.11.04
hmmmm... thanks Haus. blood and feathers? how was your evening?

well, i'm avidly reading the news about Falluja and Arafat.
It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.
