Hypothermia is a condition that happens when there is a reduction in the core body temperature caused by extreme exposure to Math, Crazy Uncle, or Mopping. It can be life threatening but can generally be prevented with the proper use of Flute.

@19 Thor…can your mighty hammer re-direct the junkaliscious postings of echo back to the main dance floor? He is waiting pateintly to be heard, not seen.
This is like watching a party through a window. I want to go inside, but I can’t find the door.
@28: Gud stuff last night B-yo
Does this mean I can post again?
Apparently not.
I have no clue about echo’s comments. He’s apparently on a REALLY bad blacklist. Echo, try using another name for a second.
Haha, echo. Me imping you gets through. Hahaha.
Any luck?
Oh, maybe not. Shit.
this is lame
It seems with the delay we only get the echo of echo
WTF WORDPRESS??!!!
I just tried to imp you and that wouldn’t even work. Dang.
Ya, for some reason echo in the name field = SPAM!?!?!?!?
It’s wordpress’ fault though, not ours.
It’s your blacklist Thor. unblacklist me.
I believe Echo is currently the subject of Homeland Security intercept protocols
yo echo try it with a capital E
Those bastards at Homeland Security. They can’t hold me down.
Does this work?
@47: No luck
How does the spam filter work? It’s obviously not IP address.
I see them all echo what’s the problem- is it on your end?
You see them after Thor takes them out of the spam folder.
I just saw that one at 11:51 @11:51
I’m writing this at 11:53. Let’s see when it shows up.
It works when I change my name. Let’s see when my last post as echo shows up.
Well, it certainly wasn’t there at 12:05 when I left, but it’s up now, with the right time.
Dude, you’re talking to yourself.
I know. I’m going crazy. It started a couple years ago, and I think the death of echo pushed over the ledge.
i think stanley did it.
Dammit Stanley!

Why did you break it echo?!
I didn’t break anything. It worked last night, and it didn’t this morning.

Hey caroline
have you guys seen this shizzle?
these kids are obnoxious
Yeah those kids are obnoxious, byt does MSNBC really need to fill airtime so badly that they are reporting on a case about a girl getting a drink thrown at her. If someone throws a drink in my face at a bar, an I allowed to press charges?
Shizzle? Honestly? Thor we need to get you a word a day calendar. Shizzle!
I love that word!

/did we just knock down a wall in the cavern to many more chambers?
echo died. The spam filter won’t let me use it anymore. It blocks all of my posts, so I tried a lot of different possible names.
Thanks for making sure the sun cam up. I worry about that sometimes.

@84 it worked. you’re spamming.
Yeah, but only until Thor wakes up and banishes me to the spam folder again.
Yea you may have to remain (echo). Tuesday, Thor, and I have all tried to rectify the situation and were unsuccessful. I am so bummed about your death I may have to go out drinking tonight.
echo was a beautiful person. He and his drinking were admired by many cvillains. Fights over him were relentless and could have someday ended with a battle in jello. Oh how we will miss him and his easy to type name.
/sorry echo
Hey! What is this world coming to! My comment just went to the spam folder! I didn’t have any links and supposedly have some inside pull here! Stupid glitches. The intarwebs and I are going to have it out today.
echo- a name that will sound thru threads for days, perhaps weeks then fade to a whisper
I will find a way around this. And if Lu Sid starts going to the spam folder than we may have to destroy the spam folder altogether. I will be drinking outside at Rapture in an hour, so if anyone wants to mourn my death/rebirth feel free to join.

For the record, I’ve neither the knowhow nor the access to pull off such a prank. And even if I did, that’d just be beyond the pale. Hope they get it fixed, echo.
hey stan, i thought you did it too.

Has my posting problem been fixed yet?
Nope. Sorry echo

First, thanks for the shot of patron eduardo.
Second, flooz, you are a bad impersonator of me. I don’t use words like “vitriol.” I’m not smart/sober enough, but good job covering it with the tequila remark.
Tuesday, I am resigned to the fact that old me is dead and new me has parenthesis (kinda like becoming a parapeligic. I used to be able to walk, now I can only use my name with parenthesis). I talked to Kyle and parlie tonight, and they are holding my name hostage. I know the demands, but I am unwilling to pay.

I heard Boheme closed. anyone know why?
Most likely someone ate their tartare and is holding the place hostage. Stay tuned for more details from Cville police.
@129 i’ll be honest, i was hoping you would answer that question
Boheme closed a while ago. Where have you been? I think they just didn’t have the business they needed to keep it going.
ah thank, ah thank you. I aim to please! I haven’t paid attention to boheme since I left after dinner “that” night, but it doesn’t surprise me if they shut down. Oh man, I just had an idea….we should run a poll for next restaurant that will close/go out of business….exciting!
@131: I don’t think it closed “a while” ago. I got shrimp and grits like two weeks ago. They were not very gud.
P.S. A little birdie told me a certain successful downtown restaurant owner is trying to buy that spot.
@116: That was Flooz? I thought, oh wowo Echo is really witty today. But guess not.
Okay Shen, is it pick on Lu Sid day? I thought it closed about 3 weeks ago. That is a while for me. I must have been wrong. I am sorry.
Also, today is Friday the 13th. Has anyone mentioned that yet?

@135: No picking. Just being my usual smartypants self. I got nuthin’ but love for your red panties.
@135 you did kind of imply that i was “not-in-the-know” or something just because I didn’t know fast enough that some overpriced restaurant that sucked had closed. didn’t bother me so much, but just remember the golden rule, Lu. pick on and ye shall be picked on. it’s what makes us a family
jeebus – this site slow for anyone else today? Did Thor find some new stash of spicy, bear porn he’s clogging the ville’s interwebs with?
My coworker just found a site where you can buy bongs. They accept the Diner’s Club card. WTF??!!!
@145 hahahah “spicy, bear porn”
site is running A-OK for me this morning. anyone else having oy’s issues?
@145: What’s that 30-something rule? I’m gonna go find some bear porn now.
Oh dear gawd, they actually have bear porn. I am afraid to look.
/also not sure why my coworker was looking for a bong at work
sorry naynay, would’ve thought you knew – “bear porn” is hairy gay guys, many times overweight.
/and post the link, for tobacco use only, natcherlly…
@150: Why would I know that? WHY DO YOU KNOW THAT? aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@146 Diner’s Club? Does it relate to having the munchies?
you taught me what a donkey punch was – I figured you were wise in the ways of perversion (notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat)
echo, try your real name again
So far I’ve introduced you to mimosas, donkeypunching, and beer pong. And you give me bear porn? WTF?
@149………isn’t Friday the 13th the day everyone buys paraphernalia??? just wondering
@156 that would be April 20th- from what I’ve been told.
what? Girls don’t feel the same way about guy/guy porn as guys do about girl/girl?
@158: You’re comparing hairy backed gay apples to lipstick lesbian oranges
(and TECHNICALLY wasn’t it Parlie that introduced me to beer pong? – I mean, yeah, you were instrumental in me being there and all ….)
well, I’m sure there are girls out there who like big ugly hirsute guys (not that I’ve met any – send digits if you know of some), and, if so, aren’t two of them getting squishy as hot for them as my Angelina Jolie/Jessica Alba fantasies are for me?
@134: Sorry to dissappoint you. I’m still not witty.
@154: See 119-126
Pick, pick, pick. I am okay with it all, but if I didn’t call everyone out on it – I wouldn’t be me

@198 aromas?
@ 201 In the lawsuit in which Bill O’Reilly was sued by a former employee for sexual harassment, several transcripts of his attempts at phone sex. The most memorable of these sessions was one which the fantasy took place in a shower. Throughout the narrative, Bill continuously mistakes the word ‘loofa’ for the word ‘falafel’… the result being that he is in the shower with this woman ‘rubbing her breasts with a falafel’. I think this is one of the funniest things in the world, and every time he is brought up, I try to sneak a falafel joke in there. I would kill to have the actual audio.
Full disclosure: I did not have falafel for lunch today, although i had the aromas falafel the other day and it was delish, if not very filling. I have my doubts about their taretar.
@201 I’m skerrid of zombies, he was undead caught in the spam filter roaming the threads. Can you un undead?

@203 it would just be easier (& less scary) if he’d just go back to being dead.
okay, my video finding skills are thwarted by preliminary ads for kraft right now(which is, in fact owned by phillip morris-no wonder those kids get hooked on kraft maccaroni & cheese!). i realize charlottesville isn’t in Iowa, but whao! 85% of the state is flooded! and guess what – it isn’t just that state, but it is right where the “bread basket” is hoping to finish planting as well as have what was already planted stay. but what with the baby new roots and incredible amount of water- it looks like this entire year’s season is, well, a wash. if there wasn’t enough looming.

i think ther was an echo at zocalo friday night.
/what.what.what…
@219 I can confirm that
@219: There was also an echo at Market St, Beer Run, Crush, Fridays, Cassis, Blue Light and OXO. I think that was everywhere.
@217 hi goose rifle, welcome to the internet. you don’t actually have to watch out for me, it’s just a website.
@217 as long as you graduated from the D.A.R.E. program in elementary school, you should be equipped with the skills to render parlie harmless.
goose rifle
The mind reels, pondering the mutually possible interpretations—is it a rifle in the fashion of a goose, or a rifle suited to the hunting thereof? Or both? Certainly, this distinction is important.
I know we aren’t supposed to talk about sports, but if anyone is interested, you can watch the US Open playoff live on ESPN.com.
In case anyone cares, Tiger won the US Open in 19 holes today.
Nobodyyyyy carrrrrrresssss…
I picked up on that.
@226 I care echo, Rocco made him work for it
It was a good distraction for my day. My boss came in my office earlier and asked if I was watching it. I was, but I obviously I denied it. He said, well you should be. Rocco’s giving him a run for his money. From then on, productivity = 0.
It was epic but Tiger isn’t human- best case ever that there are aliens among us
He played 91 holes on a bad knee that was causing him obvious pain, and he still beats the world’s best. Epic.
/sorry shen, no more sports talk.
Who cares about traffic when you’ve got one of these?
Anybody interested in meeting up for a beer? Beer Run or Michaels?
Beer Run!
Shit. Im to late. Guess I’m off to mas for a bit o’ fish.
Come on over B’Yo… we are all at Michaels framing pics and buying tacky crafts. Mine’s a ‘paint-your-own’ birdhouse if you’re getting them in.
/annoyed at the world right now.
The only thing I buy at Michael’s is doll body parts. In bulk. Don’t ask.
/is annoyed as well. fortunately my mexican girlfriend is helping me with that.
Michaels is a store with infinite possibilities for strangeness. I bought black roses at Halloween and felt like a Goth as I strode through the parking lot with them. It would be a very funny challenge to go in and see who can buy the most bizarre object. We would also have to be drunk.
/As the actress said to the bishop- go eat fish.
I bought a jillion baby doll heads and hands, and a pile of red pipe cleaners. I meticulously wrapped the pipe cleaners around sticks from my yard and placed a baby head or hand at the end of each branch. I arranged the results in a red glass vase, which is now sort of a ‘bouquet of the damned’ in my living room. I should not be allowed to have free time.

Tuesday:
Bad news: I drank your bottle of wine
Good news: it tasted like 3 day old fish
Bad news: I still can’t sleep
Sorry, didn’t want to drink it – remembered my promise – but stared at the ceiling for hours before realizing I needed “help” falling asleep. Went to Blue Light for some scotch, but got a pussy pour that didn’t do shit. Went to Lucky 7 only to find out, or be reminded, that VA can’t sell alcohol after midnight because some people believe in the invisible daddy of some guy who’s been dead 2000 years. Didn’t want to waste the two bottles of Terre del Grico (which I’ll share with you in recompense) so opened yours. Did I mention that it tasted like fish?
/now knows to keep a handy bottle of single malt, just in case…
Musings at 4 a.m.:
Unable to sleep, I wandered. Succumbing to the pressures of the day/year, I failed at what Napoleon called “3 a.m. courage” and sought help that was sleepily postponed. Far from being an encumbrance, it was, in a way, solace, allowing me to rally my emotions.
Furthering that, my wanders took me to Court Square and the statue erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy, upon which was inscribed:
Recognizing my weakness, I held my tribulations in comparison with those of several of my direct ancestors. Are my problems anything compared to those of my 13th great-grandfather who was martyred for his religious beliefs, which caused his 3 sons to emigrate from Scotland to Virginia in 1691? Were they anything compared to what his descendant went through in surviving Valley Forge, or *his* descendant when he was blown to pieces at Sharpsburg? (what Yankees call Antietam).
We are, even as a team, only responsible for our link in the chain. Even if we fail as a team, even if my link was the weakest, we are only responsible if we did not live up to the temper of our inner steel.
In any case – and with all love and reverence – fuck you all – I am the arbiter of my destiny. The universe owes me nothing, and I owe you no more than my honor. If I give that and fail, so be it. Succor provided is a strength, succor expected a weakness. Asking for help is not a sin, expecting it is.
Then again, I could be drunker/more sleep deprived than I realize.
/insert “wtf is Oy smoking?” comments here
@248: Pussy pour + Invisible daddy. Now locked away in the vaultcabulary
@246: tartate-illy = tartare-illy. That doesn’t really make it much better now, does it?
NOOO!!!
Stan Winston, the renowned makeup, creature- and visual-effects wizard whose memorable work on Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Predator and Jurassic Park (among many, many others) earned him four Academy Awards, has died.
Wow Oy that was deep. We review your comment this evening at 9:00pm over a beer at my very favorite place. Tuesday without you just isn’t as much fun.
/lesson learned the week before last
@251 Stan Winston Born April 7, 1946, in Arlington, Va., Winston as a child developed an interest in drawing, puppetry and classic horror films. He graduated from the fine arts and drama programs of the University of Virginia in 1968.
The Downtown Mall renovation has been sped up. It should now only take 4 months instead of 3 years to complete.
How can these be super if they’re not wearing capes?
not deep, simple. I rely on myself, nobody else.
Going on 27 hours awake – SS, if I make it, should be interesting cuz I’ll be even more less awake…
@256 Dude get some sleep , we need to have are sci fi guys in top shape.
Dammit oy, the induction ceremony.
“our” – who needs sleep, beyotch?
Never fear, echo.
@254 Nice!
To quote the article:
“Officials are also considering a WiFi mesh network on the mall so residents can log onto the Internet anywhere on the pedestrian strip, officials announced for the first time Monday.”
That’s nifty, though the only spot that has no unencrypted connection is around the Blue Light.
Is snailmail making a comeback?
@249: You just happened to wander to Court Square at 4 in the morning, eh? I thought that was you peering in my window. Glad we locked the door!
wandered through court square after my second trip to Lucky 7 – bought some smokes and railed against christian “morality”’s preventing me from buying booze. Went round the SNL building just in case the Lucky 7 folks decided to call the cops about the crazy heathen.
/besides, I know the secret entrance…
the midnight rule and the sunday rule are essential pieces of knowledge for any Virginia drunkard
Dude, $54,000 for a wifi network!? It would be cheaper to reimburse coffee shops to run free wifi everywhere.
Maybe we can write 43 articles about how it’s too expensive and conduct a $10,000 study to figure out the best way to do it?
Cville could just subsidize iPhones for all residents.
@265,266
didn’t we also recently spend over a million dollars to plant some grass on the roof of City Hall? Welcome to Charlottesville.
NewmaN Part 12
@268 I don’ t think it was a million dollars and what they plant is sedum. It has worked on the County HQ for sometime now.
@256 could that price be for for wiring together a large wi fi network with dedicated servers and the person that would have to run it. I would think they could do it for less by just paying ever building to allow a transmitter. Perhaps 3g (iPhone) networks are coming into play.
not #256 but #265
@256: If they were smart, they would hold off on doing anything WiFi related until Sprint makes some headway with WiMax. Then they could blanket the entire city with 2 transmitters.
in soviet russia transmitters WiFi you.
FYI Hokies: The Falcons just released Jimmy Williams.
/sorry shen
in not soviet russia, it seems we’ve left behind some villains:
see?
@276: It’s fun. Unless you’re next to a bunch of kids. But booze makes everything better, so get a DD and go for it. You can bring in anything you have in your car but there is a refreshment stand with popcorn and sodas.
there’s a drive-in around here?? wow! at the risk of stepping on caroline’s turf, I’d like a villain makeout party to happen. yes?
and donk, at the drive-in in my last town, we wouldn’t necessarily stay for both features. Or, we’d talk and drink and eat through one and then watch the other one.
The Charlottesville Drinking Club is at Felini’s tonight.
@279: I doubt it will top the one at X Lounge last week but I may stop by to check it out.
i’m starving and need a new place to go to lunch — what’s the best place for a quick cheap takeout lunch in c’ville?
I don’t know if we are supposed to discuss the specials on here, but they should be pretty decent.
Your mom’s house. Or lemongrass.
Get to work echo.
Tuesday, you’d be shocked by what I have manged to get done this morning.
@281: The box!
It’s quite over here. If you’re bored, you can go watch b’yo make a mix tape about numbers on MUSE.
I meant quiet. I know how to spell.
Good advice echo. The tape is almost done, so guys need to rush.
echo: Yes, yes I probably would.
I’m still not getting out of here until 7 though.
Tuesday, if you haven’t gone back to work yet, what bar did you say you picked?
Ooh, there’s porn over on MUSE…
Oh wait, nevermind.
Saxx
That’s right. Thank you. That had been bothering me all day.
naynay talking about pr0n and tuesday talking about saxx – this place it hawt!
Hey guys, watch the talking to each other. You’ll piss off the lurkers.
It used to be watch the talking to each other. You’ll piss off shen.
No that was the Orchid & Echo show that annoyed me. All the episodes were re-runs and the commercials sucked.
I like 300.
/The Movie.
You’ll piss off shen.
Firecrotch? More like red snapper.
/so sorry.
