Ha
You know its strange and ironic that I would be the one that would be telling people to relax, chill out and drop the drama. Ultimately, regardless of the issue, in the long run its completely meaningless.

I'm tired of not being sociable. So we went to Mother's. I got my Oban 14 yr. single malt, hung out with some friends and mutual friends... and got to meet (e:southernyankee) in an impromptu meeting! There is nothing Yank about you - you are a sweetheart. Don't let the grimy shit in Washington spoil you!

We got a new neighbor, and she is FUCKING GOREGOUS!!! She seems really nice as well. I think things around here will be mellow for a change, and that is definitely welcome.

(e:decoyisryan) - your fatal mistake is getting mixed in with the female drama that surrounds you. Understand that the two females you live with are like drama magnets - I think even both of them would agree with that particular sentiment. I love them both - hubba hubba pant pant pant - but just remember that female drama is like a vacuum black hole that is purposely meant to suck in any non-suspecting male incidental participants straight to a drama-filled hell.

Good night now!

Since I'm sure neither you nor Jason want to date someone or have a fling with a neighboor you could give her My number it is right on my Profile :) HA!! Or seriously maybe some day she will join the site. Glad you got to have a good time and also meet southernyankee. I'm glad I had nothing to do with the drama, but you are right about it being a vaccum that sucks guys in. I think that Ryan and all us guys need to stay aware of that.

Gluttony
I think I want to throw up.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger. No, I didn't eat this or find it locally.

There was an episode of "The Boondocks" where the Granddad opened a restaurant based on the same sandwich. He served them in bed because a coma was what guests would have for the dessert.

There's a little diner in New Haven- the Yankee Doodle. Popular campus dive. Annual burger eating contest and all that. And they have "donut" on the menu. Didn't think twice about it- til I saw someone order said donut. They take a glazed donut. Slice it in half. Slather it with BUTTER, and fry it on the grill.
Wow.

A movie I actually want to see
Ok - some of you may have heard of the recent stunt Sacha Baron Cohen pulled at the White House, in character as Borat ->http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2006-09-29T124641Z_01_N28213372_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-BORAT.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

Not only is this a brilliant bit of hype for his movie that he got out of this, but the title is absolutely great - "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

Cohen is one of the best comedians out there right now, if you ask me. Ali G is hilarious. For once, I cannot wait for a movie to come out!
mike - 09/29/06 19:11
he his hilarious...even more hilarious when you are in the middle of a crowded movie theater lobby and your friend without thinking starts quoting one of his routines and singing about throwing certain ethnicities down the well ....at the top of her lungs of course
terry - 09/29/06 19:03
I heartily aagree! Borat is one of the funniest things I've seen in years...serious rollin on the floor gut-bustin laughs.

You remind me of-a my wife
Oh that's nice...
She dead.

Here is picture of my sister
We ahve great fun together...

And of course...
Throw the *** down the well...

Unbelievable!
I'm rarely shocked over news stories anymore, and frankly this is barely newsworthy, but extremely hilarious. Oprah pumps her own gas for the first time since 1983... which isn't too terribly surprising since a lot of megarich people don't pump their own gas. The kicker for me was who, as they say in the biz, showed her up!



Last night I had a "Honky Tonk BBQ Pork Burger" at Red Robin when we finally got near our hotel in Kansas City. I rarely eat burgers but I couldn't resist one with a name like that - damn you marketing people!

Gas here is so cheap that if NYers saw this they'd be filling every available container around the house. $2.04 per gallon - thats the "lazy bastard last minute on airport property" price so I wonder what it will be like 20 miles east of here.

When I lived in Rock Hill, SC in 1996 I actually saw gas and cigarettes, both for under one dollar. I believe gas was $0.75 out in the country.

To answer Paul
Paul every answer you ever wanted about the stylizing of our neighborhood to "Elmwood Village" can be read in the latest publication by Forever Elmwood. As far as I'm concerned its their fault. According to them, "Strip" connotates bars, misbehaving, and frankly just isn't affluent enough sounding for these people. "Village" is far more posh sounding, attracts idiotic suburbanite types and their money, and is a better word to convey a sense of community.

I suppose we have our own little community here, but the entire topic about what to call this area is FUCKING STUPID. We have bars, we have misbehaving, we have homeless that are like vultures - no amount of sugar coating that with a nice little name like "Elmwood Village" is going to change that. I suppose also that someone could argue that we are copycats and ripping off "Greenwich Village" but we aren't half as cool or as affluent as they are there.

Honestly, this is an attempt to make the area more friendly to people who have money to spend in the stores that line Elmwood and nothing more. Forever Elmwood is an organization dedicated to helping our independant businesses thrive here, and I have no problem with that... lets just drop the marketing ploy, can we please? Our area is what it is, and no amount of idiotic nomenclature is going to change the desire that people have to come down here, bump around and spend money. They are going to do it (or not) regardless of what you call the area.

I'll be sleeping in Kansas City tomorrow night - I really wish I didn't break Jay's camera (by mistake!) - we'll be going to a famous BBQ joint and you HAVE to see what these sandwiches look like. 3" thick stack of meat between two slices of freakin' Wonder Bread. And they serve Bud on tap... and BBQ is the only possible lure to get me to drink that stuff.
metalpeter - 09/25/06 19:25
If I remember correctly there is a store named the Elmwood village. It used to be on elmwood and then moved to Main St. but I have no idea if it is still open or not. I don't like the term becuase elmwood is a lot longer then just the part they refer to as the Village.
leetee - 09/25/06 08:57
You can always skip the Bud and go for a sweet souther ice tea. I hear that goes with BBQ quite well...
