We have a what now? Is that a fancy way of saying “obsessively make fun of rich people’s hair”?
Here’s and interesting optional delusion that was floating around the tubes a while back. Stare at it a while. Is she spinning clockwise or counter clockwise? Or both?
Interesting observation… whenever I click on a Byo link, I get this strange grimacy expression and actually draw back slightly from the screen. Seriously.Too many RickRolls I guess.
eh? i think we should make fun of the pretentious and nouveau-riche brats and philanderers and asinine ideas and so on so on. it’s the cult of personality, and it cuts both ways. otherly, of course we can’t really slander private individuals (except for the old married guy who constantly does it hereon), somewhat restricting us to talking about persons in the papers/news/public sphere. now the pages of the NYT are full of such people, but they rarely have bearing on Cville, and since this website is by at least partial-primary notion aims to bat-around cville ideas… that cuts down our pool even further. broad conceptual snark is swell and fun, as is talk of ‘vajayjays’ and so on, but again, localism seems to be the order of the day.
Halsey is a cartoon and a caricature of himself. He went to Woodberry and UVA. He’s also a jolly-old-soul, who has made a name for himself by replying to insignificant blogs/bloggers, by throwing nationwide tantrums over silly-shit like art/artists, by bratty behavior generally. His significance to Cville is that he has come in and attempted to buy himself into our gentry/aristocracy, that he has bought a chunk of the mall with the aim of erasing the history of it and slapping up some preposterous edifice de luxe that may or may not fail horribly but which has garnered every conceivable city tax-break, tax-incentive, architectural-review concesssion, etc.
Coran is a physically grotesque vulgarian in person, but without pretense to aesthetic finery or cultured timbre. He is living the life and following the pursuits of the typical trailer-park crotch-scratching plumber who wins the lottery–as such is almost more admirable for that lack of preening phoniness so abundantly and regularly exhibited by HM.
but it’s also just plain clean fun for me to annoy you with talking of his poor taste in art and his poor judgment in the purc hase of it, and his impeccably awful and metrosexual coiffure.
CVILLAIN MAKES LOCAL HEROES. or could and should. I’m trying to keep Halsey in our threads and in our hearts and minds—he’s flawed, fatally, but he’s here to stay, he’s OURS. Same of Darren Hoyt, who has no earthly flaw, nor may anyone suggest, and from whom all blessings flow.
@ 19 Well then go on with your bad self if it makes you happy, no skin off my teeth. I am just somewhat obsessed with what i perceive to be other’s obsessions. I guess Im a meta-obsessive. I never meta obsessive i didn’t like.
And here’s another good mindfucker… damn its a good thing there was no internet when I used to tons of psychedelics. I may never have returned to this world. Hmmm… maybe I haven’t.
i understand, BYO. easy enuf to ignore my occasional (and lately rare) input, i’m sure.
it amuses me more than vajayjay talk. odd that nobody else thinks it’s fun.

BBT If you use too many //’s in a row it triggers a moderation… found that out with my bunnies in long grass work of art. Don’t know what the threshold is…. perhaps a scientific experiment could be conducted?
@28
but his being rich doesn’t benefit any of YOU in any way—he’s blowing money on his uber-hot blonde trophy wife and bad art he knows sweet-fuckall about… and he LIVES in Williamsburg and San Fran.
also, the most cursory Googling will demonstrate that he is not in fact rich, but almost desitute—he’s lost funding for his hotel and will take a big hit for failure to meet contract deadlines, he owes a ton of cash to Sotheby’s and will owe a ton more in lawyer and lawsuit fees when he loses that case, his Caretre’s Grove purchase and renovations according to other articles on the web have got his personal assets severely depleted, his stock is tumbling, consumer and staff confidence in his company and leaadership is gone, etc etc etc
@29
I assume that was somehow a backhand at me, but the way i read it it was like sweet tinkling music to hear someone slantendicularly affirm or at least amplify my own complaints.
/shame HM didn’t take my advice and drop the lawsuit back when i suggested it. he would have 1) saved personal dignity 2) saved an assload of cash in lawyers 3) not suffered the humiliation and exense of losing 4) maintained Sotheby’s goodwill, which has in the past allowed him to owe million+ for extended periods. if he drops the lawsuit now, he’ll look like 1) a coward for backing down 2) a bum for not being able to afford it b/c of hotel funding setbacks.
Sorry Byo not true… I did 2 slashies then my bunny (ie !!) and 2 more slashies and I am now on Moderation Island looking for an immunity idol, shitting in a hole and eating kumquats.
@40, @41
not that, given recent media revelations,
he would have been able to AFFORD to PAY for those drinks anyhow.
“Oh, shit, Shen…I’m SOOOORRY…
I must’ve left my baby-ostrich-skin man-purse in the BENTLEY…
Pick up these rounds and i’ll get you NEXT time, ‘kay??…” {wink}
he’s blowing money on his uber-hot blonde trophy wife and bad art he knows sweet-fuckall about…
the fact remains that its his money, and should be able to blow it any way he wants, no? Who cares?
that was somehow a backhand at me
Not at all. Like I said, have at it.
@ 44 Sorry about pushing the button, donk. I know it takes very little to get our local Don Quixote to start tilting at the windmills of undeserved gentry.
i think it IS a halsey minor blog, Donk—or CHATROOM as I recently prefer to call it.
after the initial suck-cock post about him that initially called him to my attention where he offered everyone free drinks, then another post about the bad-art he bought and petulantly refused to pay for, then several other posts about his fancy any-day-now TRUMP-VULGAR hotel and the new one about his LEONA-HELMSLEY hotel failing (after i predicted it would be a turkey-pen), and then the one about his trying to buy Cvillain but failing to demonstrate fiscal solubility… and all the kneepadding 99% of Cvillains regularly do for him…
i’m just replying to the popular outpouring of LUV and
pietistic handwringing for the guy and his common-man woes…
Halsey is CVILLAIN’S very own JOE THE PLUMBER !!!!!!!
What he has left of it is, up to a point, his money —
and his right to spend in a free-market economy, etc etc etc.
But 16.8 million of it is SOTHEBY’S money, and another MANY millions of it is Cville taxpayer money (in concessions, tax-breaks, matching-funds, etc.) for the hotel. That said, it is also up to us to mock him mercilessly for spending it on laffable shit when we can.
Anyone remember Donald Trump’s hair? Anyone looked at HM and DT side-by-side?
Anyone looked at DT/HM’s wife-pics side-by-side? Hotel-plans side-by-side?
Anyone think this guy may have read the wrong book in UVA Econ class?
@58
hell, I know… it’d just be more fun if more wit and less of me were in this.
Can’t think of anyone else as undeserving but entertaining to mcok unceasing.
CC is too easy, and others either too familiar, too close, or too obscure.
I don’t even know what the mayor looks like.
The amount of silly-shit mockery wasted here on mccain/palin —though very funny—would have been so much more, so much better, if it were local—all that shit i could’ve gotten on ANY website anywhere—had nothing to DO with this town.
fundamentals of humor:
choose a target, find weaknessness, elaborate, amplify, append, reduce to absurdity.
Hate to say it, but the only thing worthy of attention on here was that Shen just announced she’s wearing black lacy boyshorts…hawt.
Seriously though, don’t know who Halsey is except that for anyone to be named Halsey they had to have been destined for the ranks of riche. Since I’ll more than likely never find myself among them, I may as well ignore them. I’m far more concerned with the power that passion and intelligence can garner than the power money can. Most rich people I know I don’t like. Including family. Their priorities are not what drives my life, but that’s because they can afford to have those priorities. Passion, intelligence, dick jokes, obscure humor, absurdity, finding a day job, visiting my family more often, getting know family I just met, sunsets and sunrises, the first snow, spicy sweet aroma of fallen leaves, homemade apple pies and laughing so hard that I snort…that’s what fuels my fire.
i’m not being facetious when i say that i for one am sick of reading about his royal highness in nearly every damn thread. otter, it’s old – please just stop.
/peed in my own cornflakes this morning. it was dark when i got up, okay?
Bloody Wednesdays. Bloody shift. Go drink your fancy drinks and dance to the bumping beats. I’ll be sitting here and through some alchemy trying to channel my impatience into sisu.
@97
that’s a hot tip, thank you. that means i’ll have to buy another new IPOD
when no cops are around to prevent another breakin when i park on MAIN on fri/sat nights.
somebody told me there’s live music at mono loco tonight.
i usually start a tab at cassis and walk down there for my drinks, which i bring back to ML. that way i can get them more frequently than once an hour, but i still get to watch music. it’s fucking brilliant!
went out to dinner at l’etoile tonight. It was fabulous. Had scallops, perfectly barely cooked with grits and some sort of bacon (love that!), pepper, tomato and garlic garnish. Entree was trout. I’m always skittish about bones in trout, but these were bone-free, and while slightly bland, the vegetables and sauce made up for it. The service was stellar. I’ve never been to l’etoile, or knew there was an upstairs when it was cotton exchange. our table, on the second floor was cozy. Dessert was bread pudding (awesome) and creme brulee. The custard was just ok, the caramel crust perfectly crusty, the bailey’s with coffee a lovely ending. all in all, a scrumptious dinner. Next time, have resolved to try pierogies.
i’ve never thrown up at kickball. i’m not going to say that nobody ever has, but i haven’t. i might start… do you guys think it would be a good way to meet girls?
“son, i can honestly say i never would have met your mother if not for that moment when i stood in left field and threw up waffle house and bud light… we locked eyes for a moment… it was… enchanting.”
was just in the new Henry’s breakfast express on Water, and the owner told me that the city was meeting, now, to decide whether or not to limit cafe space (I’m assuming on the mall seating) for restaurants – he said they were trying to curb it to 600 square feed (I think he said Rapture currently had about 1000).
I’m on the email list for Voices for Animals, and their most recent newsletter had this announcement that I hope people will consider. Yet another unfortunate byproduct of the financial meltdown and foreclosure crisis is that people are becoming unable to take care of their animals, and are either abandoning them or bringing them to shelters, which is heartbreaking for everyone involved. Voices does great work — among other projects, they sponsor free spay/neuter clinics to try to manage the feral cat population, which is great in and of itself, but it also frees up resources for our shelters….I know Shen is with me on this one, right darling?
PET FOOD DRIVE FOR THE NEEDY
*******************************************
Voices for Animals is sponsoring a pet food drive to help local families and feral cat caretakers who are struggling to feed their companion animals in these financially tough times.
The main event will be a donation fair on Fri., Nov. 28, from 10am-4pm, at Pet Supplies Plus at 1240 Seminole Trail in Charlottesville (near Whole Foods). Volunteers will be on hand to accept pet food donations and to showcase adoptable cats and kittens. Both canned food and bags of kibble are needed. Please spread the word about this event to your friends and family. (If you can post flyers at your work, gym, or other places, please email info@voicesforanimals.org.)
We’ll also be accepting pet food donations during our upcoming spay/neuter clinics on Sat., Nov. 22, and Sat., Dec. 13, from 10am to 1pm at the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA (visit http://www.caspca.org for directions). If you can’t make it to these events but want to help, you can make a secure online donation to the pet food fund at http://www.firstgiving.com/voicesforanimals. Thank you!
VFA is an amazing group. I used to work with Mary Ellen at a local restaurant and always thought she was crazy boxing up any leftover meat on dirty dishes to take home. Turns out it was for all the hungry cats she helps. They need food and there will never be enough.
This group also traps ferals living in colonies and neuters them then releases them so that they can do their own thing but at least they won’t be multiplying.
When I worked at the SPCA, I also saw them come by and take the cats that even the SPCA didn’t want, i.e. extremely feral non-adoptable cats and cats with Feline AIDS or Feline Leukemia.
@121 i stayed up at snowshoe resort last night and they got 18″ of snow on top of the mountain. 14″ down below. and before anybody says it, i am fully aware that that’s what she said.
i cut it. it looks like applesauce. i don’t remember how, & i don’t even see a knife lying around. i hope i cleaned it before i put it back in the knife block.

Freaked out cats are scary. One time at the shelter, this feral got loose in the lab and commenced to fly around the room à la Matrix when we tried to net it, actually climbing the walls, which should be physically impossible. I almost climbed into a cage and shut the door just to get away from the whirling cactus cyclone.
i didn’t want to start a whole new thread for this, but i need to reach out to my fellow Villains for some ideas. Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of Mrs Nut’s 30th birthday. Since she didn’t have a chance to really celebrate it last year (what with being preggo and all), we’re taking her out for good ol’ fashioned dose of adult behavior tomorrow night. My better half is allergic to malt, so she drinks cider (happily) and loves draft cider. As it’s been quite some time since we’ve really gone out for a night of heavy cider drinking, I have no idea what places even offer it anymore. I know South Street and Mellow Mushroom have it on tap, but are there any other places? Horse and Hound used to, as did Wild Wings. We’d prefer to avoid The Corner and the associated crowds, so the Belmont/DM/”Midtown” areas are where we’re thinking.
I just found out that a dear friend has AIDS, and I am distraught. I don’t know what to say, how to feel, and it’s so damn frustrating to know that there is NOTHING I CAN DO TO HELP. I have good news that pertains to my life, but this definitely is not the time to express it.
Death is never an easy subject to deal with, and when the news is sudden, it is even more devastating.
street- sorry to hear that. but depending upon when your friend found out (time-wise) and how he/she proceeds to live the rest out, it could be beautiful.
/suicide sucks more, i’ve very unfortunately recently had to realize again.
” …On my 21st birthday, my parents sent a guy dressed as Big Bird to my apartment with a card and a balloon. That incident led to some VERY heavy drinking and a trip to the ER, where I learned that I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a host of other medical issues…”
@178 – saw xmas trees for sale at food lion and kroger in the last couple of days.. My favorite, walmart, hasn’t got any, just like last year. Last year, the spin was that they weren’t selling any because of the drought. don’t know why they don’t have any this year.
charlottesville christmas tree lighting ceremony…
apparently in charlottesville, santa has traded in the cute grandmotherly mrs. claus for a sequion wearing hussy of a trophy wife with a short skirt and knee-length heeled pointy toed boots.
this may belong in the lawsuit thread, but that thing is in danger of melting my computer, so i’m putting it here.
the invitation to the hook’s christmas party features the tagline, “do the math.” as flattered as we may be, this is clearly a flagrant and unauthorized appropriation of our intellectual property. the fact that anybody would even try to have fun with our slogan without offering to pay us an exorbitant sum of money is, quite frankly, infuriating. i move to file a suit in which we sue them until they cry out in agony and weep at our feet for mercy. to borrow a phrase from one of the illustrious SS photographers, we can “squeeze blood from the stone.”
Guys, don’t forget you get a free Dr. Pepper if you donate your first born by 6pm today. Or sign up and wait six weeks for a coupon in the mail. Whichever comes first.
as an added incentive, if you submit a list of palindrome-anagrams of “doctor pepper,” you’re automatically entered in a drawing for a lifetime supply of blowjob-backed securities. the palindromes become the legal property of the pepsico corporation, but if you win, your work will be immortalized in a glitzy marketing campaign featuring sylvester stallone and garfield the cat as soda spokespeople.
@ 220 Looks like she’s been feeding on a little bit more than “psychic energy”, if you know what Im sayin. There’s probably thousands of vampiric popcorn shrimp running around now thanks to her.
Where the fuck is otter these days…. 549 posts on one thread and not one of them was him. Gawd…. what if he has completely disappeared up his own arse and can’t phone for help? Anyone care to email him and check he isn’t being eaten by cats or something.
A couple of University of Iowa fans took a break from Saturday’s game at the Metrodome against the University of Minnesota to have some illicit sex in a Dome restroom, police said.
The duo… turned a handicapped toilet stall into their love nest about 8:30 p.m., late in the Hawkeyes’ 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers.
A crowd of intoxicated fans gathered in the restroom to laugh and cheer the off-the-field action, until an Avalon Security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police to the ruckus.
well, since it is the free for all, and the most recent post-happy thanksgiving to all of you!

2oz Sunset Blush boxed wine

splash Açai berry juice
pinch pomegranate arils
It was news cloaked in hushed whispers and sad but knowing internets looks. The way everyone carried on, I thought he was walking Hardy Drive wearing a mini skirt and fishnets, licking a Kojak pop.
“Did you hear about Greggggggg?”
“Shhhhhh…. don’t…. it’s just so…saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad”
“I KNOW….WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH”
IMHO any job is a good job right now when you look at the shit some towns are in around the country.
@ 264 I dont think its sad. He is still involved with what he loves. He was smiley as ever. I know I will be buying from him when Im on one of my frequent and unfortunate lowe’s missions, rather than just right down the street.
When will business owners learn that personalities are just as important as the bottom line? Then again, I dont know what led up to him leaving crush, so… who knows.
No. No. and no. I am uncomfortable “outing” him though. I mean, I would be all about unleashing the villain masses to go show him some love, but i don’t know. Sometimes when villains come find me at my second job (cleaning out the restrooms at the greyhound station) and try to show me love, I get uncomfortable. He is a super cool guy, but I dont know him all that well…
is floozy out there? i just ran into our surfer B&B mutual pal, good lad that he is.
what a benevolent erudite loon. he said the NICEST things about you,
each and every one of which I’m pretending to believe. right now. real hard.

@28
but his being rich doesn’t benefit any of YOU in any way—he’s blowing money on his uber-hot blonde trophy wife and bad art he knows sweet-fuckall about… and he LIVES in Williamsburg and San Fran.
also, the most cursory Googling will demonstrate that he is not in fact rich, but almost desitute—he’s lost funding for his hotel and will take a big hit for failure to meet contract deadlines, he owes a ton of cash to Sotheby’s and will owe a ton more in lawyer and lawsuit fees when he loses that case, his Caretre’s Grove purchase and renovations according to other articles on the web have got his personal assets severely depleted, his stock is tumbling, consumer and staff confidence in his company and leaadership is gone, etc etc etc
@29
I assume that was somehow a backhand at me, but the way i read it it was like sweet tinkling music to hear someone slantendicularly affirm or at least amplify my own complaints.
/shame HM didn’t take my advice and drop the lawsuit back when i suggested it. he would have 1) saved personal dignity 2) saved an assload of cash in lawyers 3) not suffered the humiliation and exense of losing 4) maintained Sotheby’s goodwill, which has in the past allowed him to owe million+ for extended periods. if he drops the lawsuit now, he’ll look like 1) a coward for backing down 2) a bum for not being able to afford it b/c of hotel funding setbacks.
Sorry Byo not true… I did 2 slashies then my bunny (ie !!) and 2 more slashies and I am now on Moderation Island looking for an immunity idol, shitting in a hole and eating kumquats.
@33, 37 I know… One of few virtues I lack is patience.
@37: He offered me free drinks
@40
another fucking married dude trying to buy your affection behind his wifey’s back.
what the fuck is up with this town’s moral-compass?
@40, @41
not that, given recent media revelations,
he would have been able to AFFORD to PAY for those drinks anyhow.
“Oh, shit, Shen…I’m SOOOORRY…
I must’ve left my baby-ostrich-skin man-purse in the BENTLEY…
Pick up these rounds and i’ll get you NEXT time, ‘kay??…” {wink}
I don’t get shoes in the mail anymore so the free drinks are looking good!
Donk, what color boxer briefs are you wearing today?
Since it’s stuck in moderation…
Who is this Halsey character? Never met the man nor do I care a whit about him. Where’s my valet with my tea and crumpets?
/teasing, OD… you’re cracking me up.
Not to egg you on, but…
he’s blowing money on his uber-hot blonde trophy wife and bad art he knows sweet-fuckall about…
the fact remains that its his money, and should be able to blow it any way he wants, no? Who cares?
that was somehow a backhand at me
Not at all. Like I said, have at it.
@ 44 Sorry about pushing the button, donk. I know it takes very little to get our local Don Quixote to start tilting at the windmills of undeserved gentry.
Black lace boyshorts. Woo!
i think it IS a halsey minor blog, Donk—or CHATROOM as I recently prefer to call it.
after the initial suck-cock post about him that initially called him to my attention where he offered everyone free drinks, then another post about the bad-art he bought and petulantly refused to pay for, then several other posts about his fancy any-day-now TRUMP-VULGAR hotel and the new one about his LEONA-HELMSLEY hotel failing (after i predicted it would be a turkey-pen), and then the one about his trying to buy Cvillain but failing to demonstrate fiscal solubility… and all the kneepadding 99% of Cvillains regularly do for him…
i’m just replying to the popular outpouring of LUV and
pietistic handwringing for the guy and his common-man woes…
Halsey is CVILLAIN’S very own JOE THE PLUMBER !!!!!!!
/insert dick-joke, as always
BBT…. pay special attention to comment 36…. that spawned all subsequent bitching from otter…and it hasn’t fucking stopped since.Enjoy
@49
Bless you BYo, as I always have.
What he has left of it is, up to a point, his money —
and his right to spend in a free-market economy, etc etc etc.
But 16.8 million of it is SOTHEBY’S money, and another MANY millions of it is Cville taxpayer money (in concessions, tax-breaks, matching-funds, etc.) for the hotel. That said, it is also up to us to mock him mercilessly for spending it on laffable shit when we can.
Anyone remember Donald Trump’s hair? Anyone looked at HM and DT side-by-side?
Anyone looked at DT/HM’s wife-pics side-by-side? Hotel-plans side-by-side?
Anyone think this guy may have read the wrong book in UVA Econ class?
Speaking of LUV… whatever happened to that villain blind date thing? No one ever sign up?
you’re all patsies for the vulgar nouveau-riche!

@58
hell, I know… it’d just be more fun if more wit and less of me were in this.
Can’t think of anyone else as undeserving but entertaining to mcok unceasing.
CC is too easy, and others either too familiar, too close, or too obscure.
I don’t even know what the mayor looks like.
The amount of silly-shit mockery wasted here on mccain/palin —though very funny—would have been so much more, so much better, if it were local—all that shit i could’ve gotten on ANY website anywhere—had nothing to DO with this town.
fundamentals of humor:
choose a target, find weaknessness, elaborate, amplify, append, reduce to absurdity.
Hate to say it, but the only thing worthy of attention on here was that Shen just announced she’s wearing black lacy boyshorts…hawt.
Seriously though, don’t know who Halsey is except that for anyone to be named Halsey they had to have been destined for the ranks of riche. Since I’ll more than likely never find myself among them, I may as well ignore them. I’m far more concerned with the power that passion and intelligence can garner than the power money can. Most rich people I know I don’t like. Including family. Their priorities are not what drives my life, but that’s because they can afford to have those priorities. Passion, intelligence, dick jokes, obscure humor, absurdity, finding a day job, visiting my family more often, getting know family I just met, sunsets and sunrises, the first snow, spicy sweet aroma of fallen leaves, homemade apple pies and laughing so hard that I snort…that’s what fuels my fire.
@60, You’re saying your constant attacks on this rich dude are just an attempt at humor?
@62

and halsey a better socio-cultural icon for our town

somebody told me there’s live music at mono loco tonight.
i usually start a tab at cassis and walk down there for my drinks, which i bring back to ML. that way i can get them more frequently than once an hour, but i still get to watch music. it’s fucking brilliant!
The Mono Loco also has a deal if you buy a ticket to “Familiar Strangers” at Regal. Today only. They won’t say what it is.
tip toed down the stairs to find….crickets – no comments for five hours, where the heck is everybody? Go ahead, abuse me… I’m used to it.
went out to dinner at l’etoile tonight. It was fabulous. Had scallops, perfectly barely cooked with grits and some sort of bacon (love that!), pepper, tomato and garlic garnish. Entree was trout. I’m always skittish about bones in trout, but these were bone-free, and while slightly bland, the vegetables and sauce made up for it. The service was stellar. I’ve never been to l’etoile, or knew there was an upstairs when it was cotton exchange. our table, on the second floor was cozy. Dessert was bread pudding (awesome) and creme brulee. The custard was just ok, the caramel crust perfectly crusty, the bailey’s with coffee a lovely ending. all in all, a scrumptious dinner. Next time, have resolved to try pierogies.
107 was backup planet’s best comment evar. sounds gud.
Holy shit. I just found out I hung out with Colfer last night.

Devils Backbone Brewery opens this friday.
Maybe you’ve seen this, but just in case, I’m going to set it right over here.
was just in the new Henry’s breakfast express on Water, and the owner told me that the city was meeting, now, to decide whether or not to limit cafe space (I’m assuming on the mall seating) for restaurants – he said they were trying to curb it to 600 square feed (I think he said Rapture currently had about 1000).
I’m on the email list for Voices for Animals, and their most recent newsletter had this announcement that I hope people will consider. Yet another unfortunate byproduct of the financial meltdown and foreclosure crisis is that people are becoming unable to take care of their animals, and are either abandoning them or bringing them to shelters, which is heartbreaking for everyone involved. Voices does great work — among other projects, they sponsor free spay/neuter clinics to try to manage the feral cat population, which is great in and of itself, but it also frees up resources for our shelters….I know Shen is with me on this one, right darling?
PET FOOD DRIVE FOR THE NEEDY
*******************************************
Voices for Animals is sponsoring a pet food drive to help local families and feral cat caretakers who are struggling to feed their companion animals in these financially tough times.
The main event will be a donation fair on Fri., Nov. 28, from 10am-4pm, at Pet Supplies Plus at 1240 Seminole Trail in Charlottesville (near Whole Foods). Volunteers will be on hand to accept pet food donations and to showcase adoptable cats and kittens. Both canned food and bags of kibble are needed. Please spread the word about this event to your friends and family. (If you can post flyers at your work, gym, or other places, please email info@voicesforanimals.org.)
We’ll also be accepting pet food donations during our upcoming spay/neuter clinics on Sat., Nov. 22, and Sat., Dec. 13, from 10am to 1pm at the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA (visit http://www.caspca.org for directions). If you can’t make it to these events but want to help, you can make a secure online donation to the pet food fund at http://www.firstgiving.com/voicesforanimals. Thank you!
Is it snowing where anyone else is?
VFA is an amazing group. I used to work with Mary Ellen at a local restaurant and always thought she was crazy boxing up any leftover meat on dirty dishes to take home. Turns out it was for all the hungry cats she helps. They need food and there will never be enough.
This group also traps ferals living in colonies and neuters them then releases them so that they can do their own thing but at least they won’t be multiplying.
When I worked at the SPCA, I also saw them come by and take the cats that even the SPCA didn’t want, i.e. extremely feral non-adoptable cats and cats with Feline AIDS or Feline Leukemia.
echo…. I told you to get some Head and Shoulders. gah.
You’re right Floozy. I’ll be sire to stop by CVS on the way home. Is the one on the corner open yet?

/this doesn’t mean i’m back you guys.
Ding dong!
Thanks. Now about that cat, and the AIDS cure. Crazy stuff.
Also, don’t throw sandwiches at your girlfriend.
Freaked out cats are scary. One time at the shelter, this feral got loose in the lab and commenced to fly around the room à la Matrix when we tried to net it, actually climbing the walls, which should be physically impossible. I almost climbed into a cage and shut the door just to get away from the whirling cactus cyclone.
@166 are you sure it was a cat? Maybe it was Parlie.
@167: That’s how he gets when you take away his weed.
i didn’t want to start a whole new thread for this, but i need to reach out to my fellow Villains for some ideas. Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of Mrs Nut’s 30th birthday. Since she didn’t have a chance to really celebrate it last year (what with being preggo and all), we’re taking her out for good ol’ fashioned dose of adult behavior tomorrow night. My better half is allergic to malt, so she drinks cider (happily) and loves draft cider. As it’s been quite some time since we’ve really gone out for a night of heavy cider drinking, I have no idea what places even offer it anymore. I know South Street and Mellow Mushroom have it on tap, but are there any other places? Horse and Hound used to, as did Wild Wings. We’d prefer to avoid The Corner and the associated crowds, so the Belmont/DM/”Midtown” areas are where we’re thinking.
Anyone have any ideas?
I just found out that a dear friend has AIDS, and I am distraught. I don’t know what to say, how to feel, and it’s so damn frustrating to know that there is NOTHING I CAN DO TO HELP. I have good news that pertains to my life, but this definitely is not the time to express it.
Death is never an easy subject to deal with, and when the news is sudden, it is even more devastating.
In closing, I just want to say: FUUUUCK.
street- sorry to hear that. but depending upon when your friend found out (time-wise) and how he/she proceeds to live the rest out, it could be beautiful.

@178 – saw xmas trees for sale at food lion and kroger in the last couple of days.. My favorite, walmart, hasn’t got any, just like last year. Last year, the spin was that they weren’t selling any because of the drought. don’t know why they don’t have any this year.

@189 yeah, echo liked her. she must have been cold!
*hawt!*
/echo likes frigid women?
Apparently
this may belong in the lawsuit thread, but that thing is in danger of melting my computer, so i’m putting it here.
the invitation to the hook’s christmas party features the tagline, “do the math.” as flattered as we may be, this is clearly a flagrant and unauthorized appropriation of our intellectual property. the fact that anybody would even try to have fun with our slogan without offering to pay us an exorbitant sum of money is, quite frankly, infuriating. i move to file a suit in which we sue them until they cry out in agony and weep at our feet for mercy. to borrow a phrase from one of the illustrious SS photographers, we can “squeeze blood from the stone.”

Ugh, I keep picturing robots that won’t stop saying “you betcha”.
@208: It is impossible to have a palindrom anagram of “doctor pepper” because there are 4 letters that do not have a double: d, c, t, the third p.

Although, if you drop those 4 (d,c,t,p) (which almost spells duct tape), you can make “repooper” (coprophagia?)

Who is parli? Never heard of him Lulu. Uggh, I can’t bonk someone that I haven’t blogged with. That’s just tacky.
@230: I like where your mind is, but I meant you get to “lick far up”. So do it, whore.
Where the fuck is otter these days…. 549 posts on one thread and not one of them was him. Gawd…. what if he has completely disappeared up his own arse and can’t phone for help? Anyone care to email him and check he isn’t being eaten by cats or something.
To dinner?
is this even possible???

A couple of University of Iowa fans took a break from Saturday’s game at the Metrodome against the University of Minnesota to have some illicit sex in a Dome restroom, police said.
The duo… turned a handicapped toilet stall into their love nest about 8:30 p.m., late in the Hawkeyes’ 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers.
A crowd of intoxicated fans gathered in the restroom to laugh and cheer the off-the-field action, until an Avalon Security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police to the ruckus.
Sure it is… the Gophers defensive game is shite.
@232 go figure, i’m with od
well, since it is the free for all, and the most recent post-happy thanksgiving to all of you!
/until the decoder ring gets manufactured, i will be trying my best to keep it not needing a decoder ring.
/there are no hidden messages in this message.
~cheers to all of us having a better holiday season than last year!!!!
Happy World AIDS Day everyone!
I already wrote a post for that but the Spicy Bears are slacking.
You wrote an AIDS Day post? It probably won’t go up until tomorrow. You know how the Spicy Bears can be.
It’s a post Aids Day post.
i saw a table giving away red ribbon pins and condoms. those two don’t seem to go together.
@ 243 True dat.
/they’re doing it wrong.
I found this…please don’t ask how. And remember, the end orb is awaiting. The Youtube footage is a must.
Ooh stick it in my end orb.
WTF?
In other news, I totally had a dream about Halsey Minor last night. That’s what happens when you read the Hook and drink this before going to bed:
2oz Sunset Blush boxed wine
1oz Peach Schnapps
splash Açai berry juice
pinch pomegranate arils
i dreamt about belmont yo again the other night.
/chianti + didn’t leave the house for 4 days.
I need more masochistic friends. They are truly the most entertaining.
alcoholism is only masochistic when it leads to cutting.
Alcohol is masochistic when it tells you to drunk-text that fake-tanned Tarzan wannabe and invite him over.
@249: Or…maybe this isn’t for the internetz.
@250: I think I know him.
byo is fake tanning now? or is that HM?
/and alcohol is fine, it’s the myopic side effect that doesn’t keep your fingers from typing/texting/dialing something you’ll regret in the morning.
/when ARE my op-techs gonna come up with a breathalyzer for my phone?!
@250 oh, i wondered what your excuse for that was…
@250: orchid’s jealous.
@252 actually, it quite effectlively prevents MY fingers from doing anything.
I’M about to start fake tanning. white legs are scary!
@254 jealous of people who aren’t born-again virgins?
/should start going to those thursday night singalongs in the cafeteria.
@255: Actually, it quite effectively causes 9 of your fingers to cut off the tenth.
@256: Jealous of ‘nanigans Tarzan. Her jungle love, if you will.
you take everything one step too far.

i wonder if toby actually tried it..?
Speaking of wine, former crush gregggg was spotted slinging wine in a new spot. Is this old news?
It was news cloaked in hushed whispers and sad but knowing internets looks. The way everyone carried on, I thought he was walking Hardy Drive wearing a mini skirt and fishnets, licking a Kojak pop.
“Did you hear about Greggggggg?”
“Shhhhhh…. don’t…. it’s just so…saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad”
“I KNOW….WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH”
IMHO any job is a good job right now when you look at the shit some towns are in around the country.
@263 someone mentioned it but wouldn’t say WHERE.
@ 264 I dont think its sad. He is still involved with what he loves. He was smiley as ever. I know I will be buying from him when Im on one of my frequent and unfortunate lowe’s missions, rather than just right down the street.
When will business owners learn that personalities are just as important as the bottom line? Then again, I dont know what led up to him leaving crush, so… who knows.
B-yo’s clues are telling us he works at that wine place by TJ Maxx?
Wrong.
He works at Whole Foods?
Could it be a Rio Hill wine and gourmet?
market street north? walmart?
No. No. and no. I am uncomfortable “outing” him though. I mean, I would be all about unleashing the villain masses to go show him some love, but i don’t know. Sometimes when villains come find me at my second job (cleaning out the restrooms at the greyhound station) and try to show me love, I get uncomfortable. He is a super cool guy, but I dont know him all that well…
Can I get a ruling on this one?
Market St wineshop by Whole Foods
i already said that
Rio Hill Kroger
can we hurry up and get to 300 so we can put up a new free for all?

Hey Floozy, OD’s asking for you…
A handgun and a can of pringles, why do you ask?
@284 it because of the 300- DUH!

I’m not going back in mine…. Otter might be there.
thank you, can you please return to your white padded cells?
Absolutely, if you would kindly provide us with a fresh free for all entitled:

Hop to it, now, chop chop.

Brad(ford Reed) has two wines, you probably tried the other one. The Meritage just got its label. http://bradfordreed.com/
Floozy, can you hear me padding in on little cat’s feet?
We tried the Merlot, and I was not impressed. I believe I referred to it as swill.
oh damn.. i already made it… it is wack though…
You should let me run and post the free for alls. Take a load off. Let a real insane person lend a hand, you know, for authenticity.
SHEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN… HE’S STANDING ON LITTLE KITTY FEET.
