Lindercles

i just saw an interesting story on sportscenter. there was a monday night football game that night that was being broadcast by Howard Cosell. Apparently Howard Cosell was a friend of John Lennon, and 20% of the American TV audience was watching the game that night. They showed the old footage of Howard Cosell calling the game and making the announcement. pretty powerful.

this one?

getting your sleep schedule messed with SUCKS. i once worked 7pm to 8am just for one summer in college. for the entire next year i would get out of class at 3, go to sleep, wake up at midnight and be up all night until my classes in the morning. it takes FOREVER to get back on a normal sleep schedule. plus the lack of sunshine gives you serious mental problems.

Back in 2002 I graduated from college. A close female friend of mine and I decided to take a road trip to Florida to celebrate, and she brought along another female friend of hers who I'ld never met before (both of them had also just graduated). We had a fabulous trip with no sort of sexual tension or anything, just friends having a great time. On the was back we stopped for a night in New Oreans and rented a room that happened to have one king size bed in it. It also had a couch, but having just come off a great road trip, and also being sloshed, we had no problems with all three of us sleeping in the king size bed. for those of you wondering, yes, i slept in the middle. well, my friend and i ended up cuddling in the bed all night, which was really nice. at one point she grabbed my hand and held it, which creeped me out a little at first, but i went with it and it was nice. at this point we both had SOs and all four of us lived in the same building, so it was no big. Next day we wake up, drive home and that's that. Flash forward to 6 months later, she's still with her SO, i'm dating another girl. Our building throws a big party and we all get sloshed. She and I end up making out right in front of her boyfriend. Either he didn't care or was too sloshed to notice because he did nothing (he was also a friend of mine, so he probably didn't care), which is fine because she didn't even remember doing it. So that was that. Three years later we're still friends and nothing like that has ever happened again. And yes, she and her SO are still together.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. yeah, use that one. or any cut off of bedtime for democracy

i used to deliver flowers for a living (which is a "bad career choice" story all on it's own), and we used to have lots of deliveries at that same state hospital. i know it's a big place with lots of different buildings, but the idea that i may have even been in the same building as you and mr. piss bomb, or any of the numerous other freaky things that have happened to you, cracks me the fuck up.

damn, i just got 1578, and that was with getting eaten at the end

that's pretty freakin' sweet, bro. looks like you've got yourself a new career.

[hijack] douva, who is that band in the friends video? i like that song. [/hijack]

congrats!

Post of the year!

it also begs the question.....what the hell were you doing when you found this??

do we really need two threads about how cold it is? click here if you care about my comments on the weather

hell yeah they do. all the area schools are closed, city and county offices are closed. us poor state workers had to show up, but even then maybe a quarter of my coworkers are here. not so much because of the temperature as the ice. if there's ice on the roads, people don't know what to do.

i'd kick in another $.50, but only if i can be there to see it. also, if he pays for my gas to get there.

is "dublin dr. pepper" just dr. pepper made in dublin? what's different about it?

again, i'm not defending litterers. i don't even smoke. it's gross. but as long we're comparing butts to gum. nine years as compared to, well, never. i'll take the 9 years. Nine years is a relatively short time in the span of human existence on earth.

butts are definitely gross, but at least cotton is biodegradable. edit: don't get me wrong, i'm not defending butt throwers. it's littering and that's awful. i was just answering your question. the answer is yes.

currently 23 degrees in Austin. freakish cold snap we're having. most people stayed home from work this morning. i didn't, and i'm one of 4 people in my office, out of about 50 normally.

you have dr. pepper in tennesee? seriously, for a long time it was only available in texas. since i've left texas very little in the last 20 years, i wouldn't know.

making the bet wasn't dumb, the terms of the bet were dumb. the correct bet would be "whoever loses has to buy the other one dinner"

this one definitely gets my vote

"i don't think that's a good idea" in response to, "can i stay here tonight?" edit: this was, of course, after the sex

"i love you"

yup, wednesday night and already started on the whiskey. as far as work goes, i work at 730 every morning, so i'm just used to that. but the good news is, it's 28 degrees outside and icy (in central texas, GASP!), which means i may not have to work tomorrow. hooray for government jobs!
