CDC is at Cassis tonight.
Great! rolls eyes
Good deals on bad drinks from that surly little bastard who thinks he’s some kind of bartending god? I can’t wait. Maybe they’ll have someone else back there too…
does this tuff-times thing, for cost-cutting, mean a return to house-parties, cocktails parties, salons, and drinking in the foetal-position in the hall-closet with Jeff Buckley’s HALLELUJAH (spelling, sh*t) cover playing at top-volume??
Does this crisis mean THE FLIRTRESSES will have to wear
shorter skirts and lower-cut blouses and more backless dresses
and fewer foundation garments to save on fabric?
@15: I wag my private parts in your general direction. I spit on you and your Cassis and your drinking club and your C-ville’s best bartender. Ptttteu.

@29 Lying under a chair? In no way an expert or known for musical taste, but I like Dexter Gordon. Despite being a cornet player for seven years, always fascinated by the sound of the tenor sax. Swear it had nothing to do with having a crush on the single tenor sax player in high school band…
‘gay’ is an offensive epithet apparently used in that way. we determined this through the cavalier daily opinions column in discussing the Not-Gay chant at UVA football games, where it was banned from counter-statement in the UVA song.
#37
Offensive to milk products and to Dairy Farmers in Wisconsin and the People’s Republic of France.
The other from “You Suck” offensive to ‘queers’ and i read somewhere here ‘kneepadders’.
I dunno, to play the devil’s advocate and not to get into a big thing here, I think calling something “gay” or “retarded” in a derogatory manner is a little bit offensive. I don’t want to argue it, and PP, you know I don’t find you offensive; I think your candor is refreshing. But, I can certainly sympathize with people taking exception to the words in that connotation. Especially homosexuals with Trisomy 21.
@42 I would say “wack,” as in “Flavored vodka is wack,” but then you and I might get into another kerfluffle about the White appropriation of race-based cultural ideologies and vernacular, which would once again serve as hitting the Escape key and/or “Reset” button on the entire Cvillain pseudonym structure, as well as someone buying a McQuit off the dollar menu, so I won’t.
Queer is the term preferred by academics and gay is derogatory when used by a non-gay. Rappers can say that word but you’d better not. This blog doesn’t worry about offending people in race, intellect, orientation, disability or other things. Rarely does anyone object. I don’t want to cramp anyone’s style because I don’t belong here. That’s clear. I heard this blog is funny. I should read it and not write, and keep my personal offense to myself as writers here offer their personal offensiveness to everyone else.
I see. I’m not that clever and did not see the interview. That’s like Oliver North saying “Let me refresh myself from my notes” whenever anyone asked him a direct question about illegal shit he did? OK !
And I thought you all had figured out that I was really Sarah Palin. Oh well. I guess I’m going to go read all the newspapers. All of them. Every last one.
Just had lunch (and beer) post kickball at Boylan Heights. The food was good, not great, but the prices were enough to make me only go there when I’m not hungry. This isn’t a slam on Chad or his picking the place for the post kickball hang out. But the two for one wings special came out to $7 for 10 wings. I can’t imagine paying $7 for only 5 wings. Who pays more than $1 per wing? The burgers are $7.50 without anything else (fries, slaw, etc. Adding regular fries and a soft drink bumps it up by $4) and the wedge salad (quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce and a few toppings) for $6?
THAT’S why the fucking Antarctic is rapidly disappearing… nothing to do with global warming… it’s bogus restaurant owners chipping away at the icepack to create a trendy, yet curiously unsatisfying novel dish.
What about the penguins,eh? Where are they going to go and freeze their bollocks off when it’s all gone?Well?

@72 Ha! That made me laugh! Actually, it was more hearing the word Rio as it constantly sparks the song in my head. Wonder if they’re dancing in the sand, too….
@73 - yep, me, too. I might have to put on another song just to get that out of my head. If they’re relocating to Rio - am pretty sure they are dancing in the sand. Just wondering what style penguins dance to, and if they’re ripe for some sort of reality show dance off competition. Would they be willing to go up against, say, chickens?

BP, would’ve if my mind hadn’t shorted out (no pun intended) on remembering that Short Pump is near Richmond. I’m firmly entrenched in the Cville area, both work and home, so it wouldn’t make sense.
Sometimes, I’ll save my errands (groceries, neccessities, gas, etc.) for heading over the mountain to Waynesboro or Staunton, even. Gas is easily 30 cents cheaper at times, not to mention the cheaper groceries, etc.
I’d rather spend 30 minutes on the interstate (or 250) than 20-30 minutes in traffic here to head uptown.
I totally agree. If I hadn’t been doing the out-of-town-pre-homecoming-shopping-trip-because-charlottesville-ain’t got no friggin fashionably ok homecoming dresses for the nooby freshman high school student, ey, I would have never known, but was really happy to discover it, ya know? I’m with you, I live and work well inside the albemarle county limits, otherwise. Don’t see any reason to travel more than over to sam’s, and only if convenient, to save 12 cents or so off the prices on pantops.
ok, this is the ffa thread, where the heck are you people tonight - i know i passed out early last night, but i’ve had two days to rest up, are ya all snoozin early on, ya (sarah palin imitation, yo) wooses? Wake up and snark, already…
I feel like it’s 20 years ago, and it’s like I’m at Bethany Beach, Delaware, where they roll up the sidewalks at 9 and everyone goes home. Maybe it’s time I investigated some other late night blogging/commenting sites, cause I feel like i’m tossing balloons into the air and no one is there. I love ya’ll and I’ll be back, but going out there to see what’s what…
yeah, not so much a fan - have personal connections to dmb, won’t go into details, but totally dig tunes. Am now cueing into john mayer videos. sorry to be so un-indie. just digging really good music for a reason. really need to hit the hay. tuckered out as well. night, sc.
just as a last minute toss - check out Civil Twilight - south african band - have some really good tunes, but not getting enough press/pr. GREAT music - enjoy.
@90
know about Archive.org—they have a bazillion free live shows to download of just about every twang and jam-band and neo-oldtime stuff. Takes about a week to go through the list though.
This has been around for a while but it still makes me smile…
Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and
the banking problems in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up
and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will
likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended
after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja
Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report
that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared
that staff may get a raw deal.
I know, it’s ridiculous. IS it Columbus Day?
It’s not like people have any work to do on Monday.
I’d almost be grateful if HM and Please would come
back and call me a cocksucker
or something similarly wry and recherche again, just to keep the threads rolling.
I was surprised to find the new version of ABSENTE (the old version was pretty undrinkable) altogether not bad. Haven’t been able to afford the SWISS stuff at the ABC store yet, but if a few more Mall-bidness-people drop pennies in my bucket, i may be able to get some later this week and report back on the real stuff.
does anyone else ever play music on the Mall (see Hard Times Thread) for a little extra beer-money?
A buddy of mine used to make about 300 bucks every Friday night (but he was talented). I haven’t been able to break about 50 bucks, but i’m probably quieter and acoustic-er and talentless.
Anyone know if you have to get a permit to play these days (like a vendor permit or something?) like in other cities, or if it’s still same-old Cville where you can just hit people up for change any-ole-time you feel like it, performing or just annoying (or in my case both).
@Feeding Our Hungry Indigents
How is that campaign for edible-ornamental vegetation around the City going, anyhow?
There were nice herbs in the ovoid planters on the Mall for a while, but I haven’t seen any other initiatives followed-through. The planters around Miller’s look promising for those upside-down cherry-tomato dinguses. If we lobby REALLY HARD do you think City Council would let us start a Cranberry Bog in Central Place Fountain?
@Feeding our hungry indigents
Shame nobody else is out here… i think we could really run with this:
1. the new Great-Halsey-Hotel will be blocked-off with chainlink fence for two years’ construction–what about keeping a few thousand turkeys in there?
2. the Pavilion won’t be used until late Spring–we could get a decent herd of those miniaturized dairy cows to graze there.
3. the trees on the Mall are just BEGGING to be infested with edible koalas and sloths.
4. Gravity Lounge, closing soon, would be perfect for growing Shitakes.
5. many arctic expeditions survived on blubber and meat from weddell seals and penguins–The Ice Park?
6. If the City won’t go for a cranberry bog in the Central Place fountain, maybe we could tempt them with a few tasty manatees and platypuses?
/why are we doing nothing to feed the children in these terrible times?!?!?!

TOPIC CHANGE! (Temporary, if you can indulge me…)
This may be my inherent small-town girl naivete, but do I have anything to worry about the taxi drivers in this town? Some asshole (which a lot of people do this to me) honked his horn while I was still checking my blind spots before pulling out into traffic. It was just enough, on top of everything else today, that I threw my hand out the window (that’s making me laugh) and gestured at him. Not a full-on gesture, but just a gesture of disgust. He saw me park on the side of the street where I’ll be parked the rest of the night.
I’m just so wary of people in this town. Plus, if anything would happen, it would happen to me. I’m the red-headed step child of Murphy’s Law. I just didn’t know if crazy things like that happen around here…
Vengence seeking taxi drivers and all that….

Oh, and after I gestured, he drove right up behind me while we were stuck in traffic and honked his horn again. I shook my head at him in my rearview mirror.
@103
i think most of the taxi-drivers are pretty good guys around here. i doubt he was doing more than ‘playing at asshole’, rather than actually being one… and seriously doubt he’d risk his license (taxis are so visible) with any sort of base reprisal for a harmless, though somewhat newyorkais, excange of horns and gestures?
good luck in any case.

Speaking of which, tonight I bopped on down Pantops to head up 20 N, only to find myself behind some troll who must have decided I was “following too closely” as they drove at least 3 miles below the speed limit - freakin’ 45mph, who the heck goes 45mpg other than in the tight turns - meanwhile, the even slower trogolodite I passed on 250 (legally, within the 45 mph speed limit, with plenty signal and plenty room - I’m bloomin’ paranoid about following distance) decided to ride my butt/bumper nearly all the way to Proffit with their brights on.

That was deliberately provoking of commentary by spellchecker and grammarian Stanley—good work Englebert.
again @121
but of course, panthers don’t swim. and otterdung sinks. so no matter the alleged copraphilia of panthers, pink or otherwise, i think both otter and his scat (’spraints’, i’ve been told) are safe from degustation. now, the detente of the “watering-hole” (a joke there, if anyone wants to run with it) could allow for other panther-otter activities, see pink-thong above.

you’d think then panthers would eat cuddly filling manatees instead of low-calorie otters.
were i to specify SEA-otter, there’d be nary a panther in sight. Otters will waddle humourously on land, but their webbed feet make it uncomfortable and imprudent. they rarely climb trees, where panthers snack on cuddly koalas and sloths no doubt by proximate convenince and preference. also, otter food-sources are all or mostly marine/aquatic?
Dear Dr Phil,
I’m having really violent thoughts involving Otter, e-DuctTape® and just a teeny tiny breathing hole that I can cover with my index finger. If I repress these urges, will it affect me in years to come,for example could it cause premature menopause or a really itchy flaky scalp?
Yours Most Sincerely,
Flooze
Floozy,
you must not bottle up these urges. It will only lead to a pressure release that will be misused on your loved ones. They are not the cause. ACT now, before it’s too late.
Repressing urges such as these has been known to lead to much worse symptoms, such as spontaneous combustion or finding sexual interest in cars. Contrary to popular belief, indulging in your violent actions will turn a benefit. Examples include an increased sense of well-being, a boost in popularity, unlimited access to vending machines, and strong, healthy nails. In some cases, you may also find you achieve enlightenment - that, or find a twenty on the ground. Same difference.

Has anyone seen that sketch…don’t remember who the comic is, maybe Dane Cook or Dave Attell or Jim Gaffigan…and he’s talking about how to play air guitar. And to play air bass, you put one hand up and with the other you “strum your balls” and he walks around the stage going, “Strummin my balls, strumming my balls” and it looks EXACTLY like he’s playing bass.

I dunno, to play the devil’s advocate and not to get into a big thing here, I think calling something “gay” or “retarded” in a derogatory manner is a little bit offensive.

Queer is the term preferred by academics and gay is derogatory when used by a non-gay. Rappers can say that word but you’d better not. This blog doesn’t worry about offending people in race, intellect, orientation, disability or other things. Rarely does anyone object. I don’t want to cramp anyone’s style because I don’t belong here. That’s clear. I heard this blog is funny. I should read it and not write, and keep my personal offense to myself as writers here offer their personal offensiveness to everyone else.
Wack means crazy.
I think it is “whack” as in “Yo Brother don’t you know that crack is whack?” but i could be wrong.
Wacky versus Whack.
I mean, I’m not using this as a footnote source anytime soon, but:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wack
Oh, well if the urban dictionary says it, it must be right. Flavored vodka is wack.
I think that’s a wiki, not an authoritative source.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whack
Look, I just pointed out a quick and easy link that elaborated on the context and spelling of how I have come to understand the word.
If you’d like more legit literature on the subject, well, uh, I’d be happy to find some examples and get back to ya, Katie!
Who is Katie? Please explain that.
Urban Dictiuonary is cool. It’s funny that wack and whack have the same definitions in it. Hard totranslate spoken language into lexicography.
No, it’s great. Wack is perfect. I will say that from now on instead of “gay”. Thanks man.

No code violation. He was making a reference to the recent Palin-Couric interview. And it was funny.
Again, Please explain who is Katie and what that has to do with me.
I see. I’m not that clever and did not see the interview. That’s like Oliver North saying “Let me refresh myself from my notes” whenever anyone asked him a direct question about illegal shit he did? OK !
Oh I thought 26 World had figured out that I am really Katie Couric. Damn him and his ESPN.
And I thought you all had figured out that I was really Sarah Palin. Oh well. I guess I’m going to go read all the newspapers. All of them. Every last one.

I’m not ‘bending over’ for anybody: gay gay gay gay gay.
Don’t be gay, Sparky.

…going off on my own little tangent here….
Just had lunch (and beer) post kickball at Boylan Heights. The food was good, not great, but the prices were enough to make me only go there when I’m not hungry. This isn’t a slam on Chad or his picking the place for the post kickball hang out. But the two for one wings special came out to $7 for 10 wings. I can’t imagine paying $7 for only 5 wings. Who pays more than $1 per wing? The burgers are $7.50 without anything else (fries, slaw, etc. Adding regular fries and a soft drink bumps it up by $4) and the wedge salad (quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce and a few toppings) for $6?
That is wack.
iceberg wedge salad is the dumbest invention ever, anyway.
THAT’S why the fucking Antarctic is rapidly disappearing… nothing to do with global warming… it’s bogus restaurant owners chipping away at the icepack to create a trendy, yet curiously unsatisfying novel dish.
What about the penguins,eh? Where are they going to go and freeze their bollocks off when it’s all gone?Well?

Dude, the penguins have given up and adopted a new home. Her name is Rio.
@72 Ha! That made me laugh! Actually, it was more hearing the word Rio as it constantly sparks the song in my head. Wonder if they’re dancing in the sand, too….
“don’t like the red plastic igloos”??
What are they looking for, a friggin’ georgian style four bedroom?
73: Obligatory penguin dancing video.
@73 - yep, me, too. I might have to put on another song just to get that out of my head. If they’re relocating to Rio - am pretty sure they are dancing in the sand. Just wondering what style penguins dance to, and if they’re ripe for some sort of reality show dance off competition. Would they be willing to go up against, say, chickens?
/dang, now have the “chicken dance” song in my head - gaah!

BP, would’ve if my mind hadn’t shorted out (no pun intended) on remembering that Short Pump is near Richmond. I’m firmly entrenched in the Cville area, both work and home, so it wouldn’t make sense.
Sometimes, I’ll save my errands (groceries, neccessities, gas, etc.) for heading over the mountain to Waynesboro or Staunton, even. Gas is easily 30 cents cheaper at times, not to mention the cheaper groceries, etc.
I’d rather spend 30 minutes on the interstate (or 250) than 20-30 minutes in traffic here to head uptown.
I totally agree. If I hadn’t been doing the out-of-town-pre-homecoming-shopping-trip-because-charlottesville-ain’t got no friggin fashionably ok homecoming dresses for the nooby freshman high school student, ey, I would have never known, but was really happy to discover it, ya know?

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and
the banking problems in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up
and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will
likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended
after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja
Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report
that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared
that staff may get a raw deal.
Good lord it’s dead on here today. I hear crickets.

I was surprised to find the new version of ABSENTE (the old version was pretty undrinkable) altogether not bad. Haven’t been able to afford the SWISS stuff at the ABC store yet, but if a few more Mall-bidness-people drop pennies in my bucket, i may be able to get some later this week and report back on the real stuff.
does anyone else ever play music on the Mall (see Hard Times Thread) for a little extra beer-money?
A buddy of mine used to make about 300 bucks every Friday night (but he was talented). I haven’t been able to break about 50 bucks, but i’m probably quieter and acoustic-er and talentless.
Anyone know if you have to get a permit to play these days (like a vendor permit or something?) like in other cities, or if it’s still same-old Cville where you can just hit people up for change any-ole-time you feel like it, performing or just annoying (or in my case both).

@Feeding Our Hungry Indigents
How is that campaign for edible-ornamental vegetation around the City going, anyhow?
There were nice herbs in the ovoid planters on the Mall for a while, but I haven’t seen any other initiatives followed-through. The planters around Miller’s look promising for those upside-down cherry-tomato dinguses. If we lobby REALLY HARD do you think City Council would let us start a Cranberry Bog in Central Place Fountain?
@Feeding our hungry indigents
Shame nobody else is out here… i think we could really run with this:
1. the new Great-Halsey-Hotel will be blocked-off with chainlink fence for two years’ construction–what about keeping a few thousand turkeys in there?
2. the Pavilion won’t be used until late Spring–we could get a decent herd of those miniaturized dairy cows to graze there.
3. the trees on the Mall are just BEGGING to be infested with edible koalas and sloths.
4. Gravity Lounge, closing soon, would be perfect for growing Shitakes.
5. many arctic expeditions survived on blubber and meat from weddell seals and penguins–The Ice Park?
6. If the City won’t go for a cranberry bog in the Central Place fountain, maybe we could tempt them with a few tasty manatees and platypuses?

TOPIC CHANGE! (Temporary, if you can indulge me…)
This may be my inherent small-town girl naivete, but do I have anything to worry about the taxi drivers in this town? Some asshole (which a lot of people do this to me) honked his horn while I was still checking my blind spots before pulling out into traffic. It was just enough, on top of everything else today, that I threw my hand out the window (that’s making me laugh) and gestured at him. Not a full-on gesture, but just a gesture of disgust. He saw me park on the side of the street where I’ll be parked the rest of the night.
I’m just so wary of people in this town. Plus, if anything would happen, it would happen to me. I’m the red-headed step child of Murphy’s Law. I just didn’t know if crazy things like that happen around here…
Vengence seeking taxi drivers and all that….
Oh, and after I gestured, he drove right up behind me while we were stuck in traffic and honked his horn again. I shook my head at him in my rearview mirror.
Naive, I know.

in the wild a panther would eat a otter but not its dung. But a Pink Panther would a genetic mutation so could not be in the wild. If held it captivity that panther might very well suffer from coprophagy.

but of course, panthers don’t swim. and otterdung sinks. so no matter the alleged copraphilia of panthers, pink or otherwise, i think both otter and his scat (’spraints’, i’ve been told) are safe from degustation. now, the detente of the “watering-hole” (a joke there, if anyone wants to run with it) could allow for other panther-otter activities, see pink-thong above.

you’d think then panthers would eat cuddly filling manatees instead of low-calorie otters.
were i to specify SEA-otter, there’d be nary a panther in sight. Otters will waddle humourously on land, but their webbed feet make it uncomfortable and imprudent. they rarely climb trees, where panthers snack on cuddly koalas and sloths no doubt by proximate convenince and preference. also, otter food-sources are all or mostly marine/aquatic?

Dear Dr Phil,
I’m having really violent thoughts involving Otter, e-DuctTape® and just a teeny tiny breathing hole that I can cover with my index finger. If I repress these urges, will it affect me in years to come,for example could it cause premature menopause or a really itchy flaky scalp?

Dear Floozy,
Write a couple dang comments now and again and i won’t have to blather-on so.

Floozy,
you must not bottle up these urges. It will only lead to a pressure release that will be misused on your loved ones. They are not the cause. ACT now, before it’s too late.
Love, Dr. Phil
Dear Floozy,
Repressing urges such as these has been known to lead to much worse symptoms, such as spontaneous combustion or finding sexual interest in cars. Contrary to popular belief, indulging in your violent actions will turn a benefit. Examples include an increased sense of well-being, a boost in popularity, unlimited access to vending machines, and strong, healthy nails. In some cases, you may also find you achieve enlightenment - that, or find a twenty on the ground. Same difference.

And his fingers are wiggling. I’m like, What are you doing? Playing the air bass? So if you see echo, play some air guitar for him.
Has anyone seen that sketch…don’t remember who the comic is, maybe Dane Cook or Dave Attell or Jim Gaffigan…and he’s talking about how to play air guitar. And to play air bass, you put one hand up and with the other you “strum your balls” and he walks around the stage going, “Strummin my balls, strumming my balls” and it looks EXACTLY like he’s playing bass.

Dear scoriole, have a great week, we can’t wait to hear from you again!
I was out last night and some dude comes up to me and says, “You’re shenanigans, right?” and I faked innocence, wide-eyed for a moment but he insisted. Finally, I admitted, “Yeah, I was. But it became too much.” I told him how I became a whipping boy and constant target and that I got sick of it. He said, “That’s too bad, you were such a bad ass on there. You were the queen bee!”
Well, I never wanted to be the queen bee. But I am pretty badass. It would be nice to just be able to be myself without having people attack me just for the sake of it or harp on me for past mistakes. I don’t pick on lurkers and I’m not a bully, I don’t seek attention and I don’t try to dominate the site. I just love the site and what it does for discourse and community.
Simply put, something about the site rings my bell and I want to participate without being skewered by people who hold grudges or don’t get my humor.

@209: Oh it’d be different, but neither of our sober minds can comprehend the difference. I’ll tell you when we’re both drunk.
That’s it. I’m going to go e-hang myself. Goodbye cruel internet world.

St, thanks for responding without snarkiness, while I appreciate it, is not really helpful right now.
@220: I just meant that I was sort of a punk to my parents. Later, I straightened up and flew right , as my folks prescribed. My brother needed a bit of a hands-on approach; I needed to be left to do my thing. Each kid is a snowflake or something.
@219: i’m at stanley@spicybear.com
gotcha, emailing asap
