Prime Time Thread

Looks nice! And I appreciate the “Sections” section. Helps make things more accessible.Anyone watch the John King interview tonight?QT

Okay, I’ve been the last commenter on the previous two threads. I think I might be developing a weird complex about it.Seriously, where IS everybody? Hello? Is this thing on? Testing…

Beware all ye trolls who enter here.

Does anybody else get a Movable Type error message when attempting to access the individual Categories/Index of Topics?

No alternate template is specified for the Template ‘the_name_of_your_tag_search_template’

I’m using Firefox 3.0.5, fwiw.Haha, Bob. Thanks for the jocularity when one makes an error in posting (such as forgetting to put Name/email address).

Bob has unleashed the dogs of war!! Or at least of the PTT anyways.I’ve been waiting to share this link all freakin’ day. If you guys haven’t already seen this on Andrew Sullivan’s blog…you must go watch it. I’d put it on my FB, but my nephew is one of my friends…and my brother might kill me if his kid watched this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQALeeHWJyE

Yeah, I’m getting that error too, on Google Chrome.

QT what time will the John King interview air?I really wish Roland Burris, who is on Hardball right now, would NOT refer to himself in the third person.And trolls are absolutely everywhere today, for some reason.

That last comment took about 3 full minutes to post. That’s seriously lame-ass.

Maybe the intertubes need a virtual high colonic……

@wabewawaYep…getting the same error. On the same version of Firefox too.

>>Google ChromeI found your problem!

John King interview aired already, actually (at least on the east coast) – it was CNN Situation Room 6 – 7. I noticed it was going to be on at 6:30, and hit record. Hoping I caught something -haven’t watched yet.Also, PSA for those who care – Final 10 episodes of Battlestar Galactica resume, starting tonight at 10 on Sci-Fi – and I’ll be doing a review of the episode on my site. For those who need to catch up, immediately preceding episodes running in a marathon up till 10 when the new ep airs.QTQT

Hey, suck it, Mr. The Travis D., Google Chrome is teh awesomest.

Don’t be so repetitive, LDH.

Ah, another night of continual Matrix glitches, with all the deja vu posts.I’ve found that my posts are actually posting before I think they’ve finished up. Most of the time? I’ll open up a new tab and refresh it a couple of times while the hourglass is still going on the “posting” tab, to find that my post has indeed made it through, despite apparent indications to the contrary. Checking this out again now…

>>Hey, suck it, Mr. The Travis D., Google Chrome is teh awesomestSpywaaaare

Teh Internets™ is not a Big Truck™.You can’t just keep dumping shit on it!

I’m not getting any error messages, but it does take forever to get my posts up. I’ll do what wabe does too, and find that while in one tab the hourglass is still going, but in the other it’s been posted.

Hey all, what is going on with the server? Bob?? Has your tinkering put us in double-post oblivion?!!?

To everyone having comment problems:Welcome to the fickle clusterfuck mistress that is Movable Type. It’s what we use in the boob mine and she is a temperamental ship to steer when she wants to be.My condolences to Bob who’s probably been tinkering all day only to get thanked with comment lag.

Hey, PTT reads a little like Groundhog Day right now.Rinse, lather, reapeat.

Everyone needs watch Frontline’s “Dreams of Obama.” It’s an excellent summary of Barack’s political acumen. live now at pbs.org/frontline

Test.So I think either the server is running slowly for some reason, or the “Recent Comments” widget is slowing us down. I’m going to delete it and see what happens.

Hi Bob.

Okay. So I deleted the recent comments widget. I think I fixed the categories page, too. It works fine for me in both IE and FF.

The Groundhog Day effect! I thought it was just my Chinese tubes. Good to see it was fooked there too.

It was running horribly slow last night – were the “recent comments” up then?Google Chrome is nice….except I can’t get Flash to work with it. And Travis – I scan every night for spyware. It hasn’t been a problem with Chrome.

Whew. Glad THAT’S fixed.

Google Chrome – isn’t that an old Paul Simon tune?

– Bob: I like the new layout.– Totally OT:Don’t forget that Flight of the Conchords’ season 2 starts on Sunday (!).– Have a good night all!

Ooops. I spell “repeat” incorrectly. Excuse me for that.Dammit, I can’t get Foreigner out of my head now.Oooooo, Keith’s on…

Kat, that video is fucking awesome. I’ll put it on my FB if you don’t mind.

>>It was running horribly slow last night – were the “recent comments” up then?Yep. That’s when I added it. A very good friend of mine said to me yesterday, “Hey! You should have a Recent Comments widget.” And I said, “Okay!”

Go ahead, Carl. My nephew can’t see your profile. And Bob, the comment submission error message is pretty goddamn awesome. Also.

With the influx of spam and trollers, I think we can do without the recent comments thing.QT

Well, well, well… I hate to hit youse guys for advice, but here goes: Last Oct. I attended a class in Va. We all had roommates & my roomie and I became good friends. Yes, she is in NJ & I am in Wi. I KNOW that people get busy, but I haven’t heard from her. Now I get a 2 sentence e-mail that she is taking another course where we took the first seminar and that’s it. What’s wrong with people?? Are we all so fucking busy that we can’t do better than that?? Or am I just too damn sensitive because my spouse is out again with his friend & I can’t go because of the fibro stiffness. A Sad Minx

Minxy – a little bit of both, in my opinion. Also, how active were you in reaching out to her?

Elvis,If you’re still here, I’ll bring my comment to this thread, since the other seems dead.It goes like this:”Actually, Elvis, I travel quite a bit abroad, and the reputation of Americans is as strong as it’s ever been. Give me your evidence that it is not?

Depends, Minx, How many emails did you send her? (wards himself with arms crossed) Just asking…

Okay guys, I sent her two ( this is since Nov). I didn’t get a response to the second e-mail sent in early Dec. until now. But two sentences? This hurts.

Chinese people like us. My wife LOVES me. Lots of people here don’t like Boooosh. Millions of factory workers are laid off because we can’t afford to buy stuff anymore. Many here understand it’s because of bad economic policies of Booosh.However, I don’t think I would plan on a trip to Pakistan or Syria anytime soon.

Yes but minx, you’ve had all of MY comments at you since. That has to count for something, right?Who needs some goof you met last year when you’re corresponding with the pooper?

Minx- I’ll admit to being nearly as bad as your friend, so I’ll just share a bit. It probably has more to do with her life and whatever is going on in it than anything with you. You’ve a right to be upset and sensitive (and to say so), but, try not to take it personally unless there’s some reason to do so.QT

Minx – maybe she’s not very good at teh electronic mail. Some people prefer phone convo or snail mail. But maybe call her on it if it’s bothering you that much.

Minx-How about a phone call. Sometimes the tubes are a little impersonal.

Damn, Keith just hit one WAY out of the park…

Ems, Carl of the Way Broad, QT, and the financially sound Pooper, Thanks for the thoughts. I’ve had fibromyalgia for 20 years, but sometimes I still get mad at how it’s fucked with my career and my life. I will make more of an effort.Thanks again…

That’s okay Minx, I’m using money i don’t own to keep my failing business afloat. However, i do relate a little bit to Fibro.i have rheumatoid, and their are days I literally want to cut off my legs and arms at the joints.

KO’s eight years in eight minutes – It’s a keeper.

“their”?i learned english in a trash canAnd no comments about my capitalization. i shoved a grenade down my shift buttons’ asshole days ago. there’s nothing left to shift with

yo yo yo…packy…LOVE LOVE LOVE paul simon!ppp…elvis didn’t say people hate us abroad. he was doing a f’ing hilarious bit on the band foreigner. go reread, you will laugh!minx…as someone who just recently made a promise to myself to be a better friend and keep in contact, give your friend time. maybe something is going on in her life that she doesn’t want to share yet. my closest friends knew to give me distance and just said “love ya. i am here when you need me.” that meant everything to me. or your friend just doesn’t like you anymore! haha…i kid i kid!

You’re totally right, Leigh. Keith just did some hardcore ass-kicking.And in awesome news, Keith said Rolling Stones’ Matt Taibbi is going to be on Rachel tonight. That should kick ass too.

Gypsy,Yes, i know, but if I go reread, then i have to withdraw my comment to Elvis, and I really, really like irritating him.

Everybody’s English is just fine! All I hear is Mandarin and Engrish.

yeah, elvis is fun to mess with!

Minx- I NEED the low-maintenance friendships because I happen to be a slacker most of the time. This does, however, allow me to be very forgiving and accepting of friends who also need to be able to get in touch with me on their terms and not mine.I LOVE my friends, but they know me, and know that I am who I am.Might suck for some, but my friends accept me for who I am and I love them for it.

it’s cold as balls outside!

Gypsy,he gets so verbal, so vulgar, if I was gay, i’d definitely be turned on

very brokeback of you ppp. i am sure he hears that all the time! hehe

Minx,Me thinks (rhyme unintended) that since this is the first night your computer unfroze due to temperatures that do not necessarily reflect the actually effects of global warming, you’re feeling a bit emotional?Whenever that happens, i find it’s better just to get drunk. Yesterday will seem like a memory, and tonight? Well, you won’t remember what you said anyway, so who gives a fuck?

ooooo…did someone say to get drunk?! okay! peer pressure is a bitch!

>>it’s cold as balls outside!Ok, Gyps, between this comment and the discussion from a few nights ago I have to ask, who the hell have you been dating?!

I’ve noticed that Joe and Jane are missing tonight. So…Jane’s basement is hosting a party for two?

As Burbank_Ben mentioned, Flight of the Conchords will be on Sunday…but, they posted the premier here…http://www.hbo.com/conchords/Woohoo!

I lurked mostly for that conversation. I didn’t want jane to know i was there in case she decided to make quick example of me.

Ms. Mary, thanks for the thoughts. I like you.Gypsy, I don’t like you at all, “She doesn’t like you anymore”– Feh!! : )I just get pissed off by how limited my life gets– a lot. That week-long seminar plus air travel required 3, count ‘em, 3 weeks of recovery.Enough whining…So, Gyps, how are your “experiments” going???

haha. carl. “cold as balls” is what my family says when something is really cold or needs to be really cold. it started when my brother would stay in the hot tub at ALL times. my uncle said “boy if you want children you better cool your balls some” hahahaha…uncle dave is known for his what the hell comments!

Hello…ello…ello…elo….Is anyone here tonight?

We say “cold as a witches tit” here in my part of Wisconsin. How ’bout yeh, teh minx?

We got spirit yes we do, Mary, we got spirit, how ’bout you?

i was joking minxy! i wuv you. have you tried acupuncture by the way?no progress as of yet. but i have been practicing! hehe

I like “cold as a witch’s tit!” That’s my favorite! Yesterday it -25 windchill here in Omaha! It freaking HURT my skin when I was outside!

Carl of the way broad– Drinking is a bad, bad idea. With the high-powered narcotics I get to take, I might forget to breathe…Do you know of anyone in NYC with some spare space for a nice Minx? I have a little dream…

Gypsy,”Tesla” (when finances/etc. permit). ‘Nuff said.

That’s “cold as a warlock’s balls,” y’all.

where is jane and joe…and elvis…and kat…and brother?! that would be a video i would love to watch! i think…

Gyps,I think you just figured out where they are

Matt Taibbi seems quite taken by Rachel…

I’ll add one to that, P-cubed, thanks to my sis:Colder than a witch’s tit in a brass bra!Which was funny until I started practicing Wicca and became a witch!! Ahh, what the, it’s still funny.

Minx – when and for how long?

I’d LOVE to see a witch in a brass bra!

see if jane was here she would have a link to a witch in a brass bra! man…and how dare they not invite us?! we love meaningless kinky sex as much as the next. right guys/gals?

Well, the brass does up the ante. I just found new ones via Google I hadn’t heard of before: “colder than a warlock’s balls in a brass jockstrap” (or brass boxer)

A witch in a brass bra.

I.m going to eat dinner now. Be back in forty.

later poopiethanks carl but janes would be more like this except gimpier…http://grandeurlivingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/men_bra.jpg

Right-o-rama!!!gypsysoul!We like it in all sorts of weird ways!!!

I thought you were looking for a cold tit. That don’t be lookin’ cold to me!

Carl, I started about 8 years ago, and I still am a witch. Although lately I have become interested in Gnostic Christianity and HooDoo– which is Christo Magick (magic with a Christian flavor).

Mike H. Thanks for the tip on the Frontline series – it’s just wonderful. I started tearing up again…QT

i love ya minx but that sounds kinda palin-ish.

Though I should really be looking for brass jockstraps, and it’s more like a breastplate than a bra…http://coolminiornot.com/index/whatc/Fantasy/id/15363

Okay Minx, I’ll try one more time – WHEN do you plan on coming to NYC and for HOW LONG?

http://www.lucy-dances.com/dina_miami/dina_goldcostume2.jpgI don’t know if she’s a witch…

Raised in the deep south I always heard”It’s colder than a well digger’s butt in Montana”

Dead thread…

Yikes, Carlito! I completely missed your point! My travel is flexible, any time is good. I am thinking in the Fall of this year or Spring of next year. This is the kicker– I really want to feel what it’s like to live in NYC (I know, crowded & expensive), so I think I would need at least 3-4 weeks.

I think the witch’s tit quota has been exceeded and thereby…killed the thread..

You want I should do a fake troll post to liven things up a bit? Nah, I haven’t got it in me to pretend to be that irrational-cum-delusional convincingly.

Gyps, I KNOW that Sarah would NOT approve of what I am doing/reading about. By the way, if anyone can get me a little of her hair, I’d appreciate it.

Minx – I occasionally come upon actors looking to sublet their place. I’ll let you know. You can also look at Craigslist and find some.

What, Carl, your guest room isn’t available?

Teh Minx: >Muahahahaha. But now, don’t you have to worry about that Rule of Three/three-fold law of return? (says she who doesn’t believe an iota in karma anyway, but knows that Wiccans do)

Ack, messed that up. The above was in reference to this comment of yours, TM:>>By the way, if anyone can get me a little of her hair, I’d appreciate it.And I must muahahaha again, at least.

Guest room! HAHAHAHAAAH. A guest room in New York City! You’re funny.

No, anonymous internet people, Chrome IS the spyware.Also, I’m literally living in purgatory. Need my Rachel fix.

Wicca does believe in the three-fold return, HooDoo (which requires the hair) uses several methods to ensure a working is justified before it’s a go. If it is justified, the karma has already been taken care of, so to speak. If you’re interested, check out a book by my favorite author, Christine Wicker, “Not in Kansas Anymore.”. A truly excellent book that talks about the history of magic in America; but the author experiences the forms of magic, so it’s not dry. She is also funny.

CNN Online poll:”Do you agree with Obama that Bush is a ‘good guy?’”54% yes^ further proof that this place is STILL broken

Define “good”.If by good you mean that Bush performs human functions like taking a shit, brushing his teeth, drinking booze and breathing then yes I agree.

I refuse to acknowledge Wicca until one of it’s followers successful casts magic missile in my presence.

@ Travis, Do you have some hair that I can have??

Oh, I just want to say that Lib4ever/PayYourWay is a limb dick, chevy yukon driving, assault weapon owning, Palin premature ejaculating, Ann Coulter peter buffing, tax evading, dinosaur riding, KKKing, douchenozzle.

And, the Quote-of-the-Week goes to…GI-the-Scholar!! Fresh (or not-so-fresh) from Jane’s Basement ™ !

test

Thanks Minx.I was really hoping to trash some trolls tonight. In fact, I had planned my whole evening around destroying that conservative(racist) turd.

Hmmm…GI-Scholar, perhaps this person has had enough for one day.Question: Why, Why, Why do these people(I will say people although I think the majority are guys) do this stuff? Why the lurking & comments here, instead of Palin 2012? I don’t understand, am I just too nice for my own good?

Off to Bed… As always, anyone that wants to join me under the Slanket(tm) for Blue Cheese, Pinot Grigio & Sincere Cuddles is Welcome–The More the Merrier!Teh Minx

time check!

hey, cool, thread’s not too old.I’ve never watched an inauguration before: I know he’s sworn in at noon on the east coast (or am I wrong?), so does that mean it’ll be broadcast at nine on the west coast? I want to watch him get sworn in before I have to go to class.

oh my. Kat, that comercial is hilarious.

Theo I got nominated for a quote and minx is a witch.

>>If it is justified, the karma has already been taken care of, so to speak.TM, interesting, thanks, I see what you’re saying. Damn, we need to get some of her hair…

Theo – if you are still up and watching (23:20 your time)I think it will be carried live everywhere in the U.S., so 09:00 PST would be the time. I’d start watching at 8:45 at the latest.I thought the expression was Colder than a Republican’s Heart.In S.E. PA (where I grew up) we said all the variation of witch’s tit, but my favorite was:Colder than a well (or grave) digger’s ass in January.

No, it’s colder than Ann Coulter’s twat. But here in South China it is a sunny 70 degrees! I fed my family of four at a great Muslim noodle shop for less than five bucks for lunch today.Muslim women here don’t wear ninja suits like the Arabs. They wear tight pants, and a very light headscarf and look like they could kick their husband’s ass if he raised a hand to them. Or at least the lady at the noodle place does.No wimps here. You see the whole fandamily on a motor scooter, with Dad yakking on a cell phone cradled on his shoulder while weaving around pedestrians like slalom poles.

Holy shit, it’s way too early for me to be awake already. And it’s only 13 fucking degrees down here in SC. My nipples are so hard they could cut glass right now. Brrrr…Also, is Obama actually president yet? Is it Tuesday? Did I mention that it’s really fucking cold down here?I’m making a pot of coffee now…maybe it’ll help my nipples thaw.

>>I thought the expression was Colder than a Republican’s Heart.Ta-da. That’s definitely my expression for it from now on. Doesn’t even register on the Kelvin scale.
