I spent my lunch break trying to figure out how many computers I’ve owned…it was a really exciting day all around.
In North Korea, this is a trick question.
North Korea and AN…both home to the Dear Leader.
North Korea has Kim Jong Un, AN had Bed, both voted sexiest man alive
But only by The Onion.
C-64, Timex Sinclair, Atari 800, IBM 286, 486, Pentium III homebuild, Apple iMac
I was thinking about this…due we count the Commodore 64?…and my Apple II C was something I rarely used as it confused me.
The first computer I used basically like I use one now was my Packard Bell in 1993 or so…it cost a fortune but it worked fairly well for about 6 months.
TRS-80, 286, Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, Macbook.
Trash 80 FTW!
I forgot… I had one of those too, but I bought it at a thrift store in the late 90’s as a novelty and hardly used it.
We got it for $30 when it was discontinued, and also hardly used it. To this day, I’m not really sure what anyone would’ve used it for.
You had to be an early adopter of the Timex Sinclair, because there wasn’t much time to adopt that one at all.
My dad bought it to play with in hotels when he was traveling to the greater LA area for his work.
I only got to FK with it in the late 80’s after he completely ceased giving a shit about it. It was pretty terrible.
For those of you keeping score at home…I wore the light green polo shirt today at work.
For those of you keeping score at home… We used approximately 37 yards of black industrial shrinkwrap in our photoshoot yesterday.
What photoshoot?
A private noncommerical shoot with friends. We made a black tube dress for me, complete with stockings and opera gloves. We didn’t worry too hard about makeup or lighting, because it was just as much about the fun of playing with the wrap as it was about the photos.
Cool. I haven’t shot anything in almost 2 weeks. It feels weird.
/dickcheney
Hehe! I said anything, not anyone.
Hmm…your day sounds more interesting than mine.
That’s a lot of fish and/or poultry!
Looks like I picked a bad week to stop posting boring things about myself on an A’s related blog.
Maybe the bad week picked you?
Any week that I was picked was likely bad…love the new sigline!
Me too.
Ok, so I was contacted about taking photos of kids with Santa in a couple of weeks. They’ve been terrible with communication. Last week, they announced the event and that they would be doing photos, without bothering to confirm with me that they wanted me to do it. When I texted to ask if they found someone, I was told “Oh, we’re still hoping you’ll do it.” Today, they asked me if they knew where they could find a Santa. They also told me that the price they want me to charge, and the cut they want. That will leave me with a profit of right about $2 per kid. So how many kids are they expecting? “Oh, we’re pretty sure there’ll be at least 20!” They want me there for 4 hours. Add an hour to set up and an hour to break down, plus 30 minutes of travel each way. And I have to be ready to go by 8am. And they think I should be happy making 40 bucks. Seriously?
Yeah, 40 bucks ain’t much money.
Not enough to get me out of bed at 6am on a Saturday.
I do that for free…actually I do it while paying for it.
That’s what you get for making a baby.
Yep…but…it’s worth it. I’m a very lucky man.
No doubt. I’m sure if it wasn’t for your family, your Raider rage would lead you to do something crazy, like vent on FK.
Wow…is anyone that crazy?
Only you, Bed-azzled. Only you.
Better to do it here than in some Walmart parking lot, I say.
Dude, are you EVER gonna let me live that down?
I think I missed something here.
No, you haven’t.
And when 6 of the kids are sick that day there will be “at least 14”. I think you made another commitment for that time period before they confirmed with you.
I think you’re right.
I need a photographer to sleep in on that day. It doesn’t pay, but you do get to sleep in. Interested?
Depends on who I’m sleeping with.
This Saturday? I’m in.
You just committed to it! I’ve got witnesses!
You’ve got to come to my place.
Well, shit.
But I’m cuddly!
But you’re 1500 miles away.
You must not want to cuddle that badly.
I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more. But that’s about it.
But then you’d almost be here.
Grayson and my otehr nursey friend Annie wanted to have a snuggle party Sunday at work. I could pull some strings and have them stop by, too.
On my way.
Bloom would drive 1500 miles in 24 hours if he thought that pot of gold sat at the end of the rainbow.
Would he wear Depends?
Depends.
LOL! That pot of gold?
That’s ridiculous. Fuck that.
That’s my response.
Yes!
♥
HEY!!! How are you, Lynn?
Trying to keep the faith, darling. Looking to make a change, I think.
How are YOU, sweetheart? ♥
Surviving. Trying to find something to look forward to.
I get that, sweetheart. I do.
And, you will.
If I can do it, you can. :)
Well, there’s always death.
Wow! C’mon now!
I’m just kidding. :)
Is that you, Dad?
Kay, I am not your father.
Having my dad here is like having a second kid in some ways and it made us both realize that after two…I’ll be getting something snipped.
I’d suggest snipping your nose hair. Not attractive, dude.
My nose hair are a natural blonde so middle aged men try to pick them up.
How awkward.
Yep…I tell all the boys…no ring…no ride.
Your nose hair brings all the boys to the yard.
and damn right, they’re longer than yours
I can trim yours, but I’d have to charge.
Yesterday I had to hear about one of the doctors trying to give himself a vasectomy. On purpose. He said he couldn’t get his nurse to give him the local, so he had to go have it done elsewhere. He said he was done in 8 minutes, and “nothing like looking down and seeing your sack smoking.” Me: “That story was disturbing.” Other nurse: “Yes, I’m glad someone said it.”
Why didn’t the cheap bastard just go to another doctor?
He ended up having to because he “couldn’t get the angle right for the local.”
Dumbass.
He
hashad some balls.Nice.
Wait. Are you having another?
We plan to…and hi there, Lynn…how are you doing?
I’m peachy, sweetheart. And you?
Doing okay…looking forward to next month as hopefully my dad will be healed enough for me to go to Hawaii for Christmas.
You are staying with your ailing dad? What a good son.
Well, he’s staying at our house…he had hip surgery…he moved out here last year to a ranch in Oklahoma about 80 miles from me.
There are 6 tv’s in my house…I’ve become part of the problem.
I think I’ve had 12-14 computers depending on how you count them…I’ve only liked about three of them.
Only 3 of them liked you.
Yep…just like all my wives.
You’ve had 12-14 wives, depending on how you count them? Well, if you had to chain them to a bedpost in the basement, they don’t count. Ditto if you used the phrase “common law.”
That’s a good rule of thumb to go by…to add the Arkansas angle they don’t count if they’re only 2nd cousins.
To add the Hawaii angle, they don’t count unless you’ve tried their SPAM.
At the breakfast place I went to yesterday I was sitting at the counter and one of the waiters had to bring a plate back to the kitchen. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood their order, they ordered HAM and eggs.”
Ugh, spam.
I actually think I’ve had more computers than cars. IIRC, 6 computers, 4 cars. Kind of remarkable for a 50+ American male.
hmmm…cars for me would be…9…11 if you count motorcycles.
I’ve just started on car #4 myself. Two lasted 26 years from 1986 to 2012, about 280K miles total.
I’ve had 3 over 19 years.
A dozen computers, 5 motorbikes, 4 cars.
Counting supercomputers?
Nope – a dozen supercomputers too, but they didn’t have my name on the title.
lol
Also, FKing Oak Ridge just passed us for world’s most powerful. At least they were nice enough to wait for the week after family day, so our visitors could take pictures next to the world’s *current* most powerful computer (until next week).
My home system is only just in the top 20 now …
I think we’re fixing that soon.
Thanks, and go As.
Get to work.
not my dept.
Thanks, and go As.
I’m on computer #9 (#8 lasted for about 7 years). I’ve been through 3 cars and one motorcycle.
probably 10 computers and for sure two cars. that is the cars I owned. not counting my wife’s cars that I demolished
For me, two homemade computers, one kick-ass fancy brand, and one fancy-brand POS. Also a laptop.
Just bought my first car, though I drove two iterations of the family station wagon, and Mrs. N came with a car.
I got an email from one of my friends in Sacramento that the girl I was like totally in love with in high school had her first kid yesterday…and the baby looks nothing like me…probably due to the fact that we last had sex together in 1992.
Oh, good. The kid has a chance then.
Yep…he won’t be cursed with bad looks at least.
But he’ll never be dead sexy.
Nor will he look good in a polo shirt, I’m sure.
Nope..but his mom is a great looking lady and I’ve met his dad…he’s nearly as hawt as me.
Lies. ALL LIES!
Found at my parents house over Thanksgiving: a casette tape of 2 Legit
I was doing some research into casette-to-mp3 conversion recently, and the most common advice was “if you can buy a cd/mp3 of what’s on the tape, go that route”.
But then you lose the warm, analog sound of the cassette or some such bullshit.
I could live without 2 Legit on mp3, except for maybe Addam’s Groove.
I did keep a copy of Rush, Moving Pictures despite owning it in digital and CD formats just because I could use some libertarian street cred.
written by people who brought you XP to Win7 upgrade
Pretty much any decent A->D (i.e. not the microphone port on your laptop) should do the trick, I think.
My newly-retired mother has spent much of the last two+ months going through everything in the house including a number of preschool art projects and just about every report card from 3rd grade on. I decided not to keep the report cards, but took a quick last look before they went to recycling. Best comment was from my 6th grade teacher: “A good student with a handwriting problem.” Some things do not change.
There also was a New Order CD that I have no recollection of ever having.
Found some old report cards, including the one recommending I be held back in Kindergarten. If my mother weren’t so sweet, she’d track down the Kindergarten teacher, shove my fancy advanced degree in her face, and say “suck it!” But my mother is very sweet, the teacher is probably dead, I don’t know where my degree is, and I’m pretty sure my mother doesn’t know the term “suck it.”
Were you held back?
No.
my mom explained to me that the teachers thought my small stature, combined with young-for-grade age (not abnormally young – lower quartile or so), would make my social life sufficiently difficult that I would not be able to concentrate on my studies. As it turned out, I was so FKing small that I could have been held back twice and still been among the smallest kids in my class. And I was going to turn out a nerd no matter what, so my sociabilities were FKed either way in that sense, too.
All worked out fine – while I was never severely bullied, the mild teasing/occasional getting picked on did build character.
They wanted to hold me back in last year of kindergarten, then wanted me to skip the third grade altogether. Make up your mind people!
My Dad told them to FK off both times
I skipped first grade, and then changed to a GATE program, so I repeated second grade.
I skipped first grade too. Not fun times, but worked out ok
helps when you are at or above average size for the higher grade
I was partway through kindergarten when the school discovered I could read, so they suggested I should keep on going to half-day kindergarten but sit in with the first graders the other half of the day. The next year I went in to the first and second grade room (it was a tiny school) and the teacher told us to hold up a red crayon if we were in first grade and a blue if we were in second. Since I hadn’t done a whole year of first grade, I held up my red crayon. The teacher started walking up and down the rows counting how many of each grade there were, and when she came to me, she pulled the red crayon out of my hand and handed me the blue one.
Your teacher wasn’t named Morpheus by chance, was she?
That’s how I got my High school diploma
I never skipped, but was always pretty young for my grade. In eighth grade, I did walk down the street every day from MVMS to Tam for math class, so that was pretty awkward.
I also never skipped, but was also young for my grade. I turned 17 about 6 weeks before graduation.
I can imagine. I was in a similar boat by the end of Tam, taking classes with the people a year ahead of me.
I almost skipped 3rd grade but went into GATE instead, really loved the Montessori/ Waldorf approach of it but man was High School tough, -what do you mean I cant do a months worth of english homework in less than a week and then slack off in art class? wtf!
I had a discussion with my brother about names. He was given a whity mcwhiterson name like me. Our older sister got an Arabic name (common now, not so much in the 60s).
Conventions was that the oldest son got the reverse of the father’s first and middle name. So if my name was Edward Charles, my eldest son should be Charles Edward. My bother got a english name that started with the same letter as my dad’s middle name and a more anglicized version of my dad’s first name for the middle name. (it came up because when I told my dad the second future future was gonna have his name for a middle name, he discouraged the use of my dad’s actual name in favor of the easier one)
So my brother said “its not like i wasn’t the shortest smartest kid in my class anyway, how much more teasing were they gonna do?”
My middle name was supposed to be my dad’s first name, but my mom wanted to name me after her deceased brother. My dad didn’t like that as a first name as it was too obviously Muslim, so he agreed to shift it to the middle in favor of my current first name. It turned out to be a wise choice; during the Gulf War I never mentioned to classmates that my middle name was the same as the last name of the famous Iraqi dictator.
Nowadays, though, sheesh, we elect guys with my middle name to president. Whaddacountry!
Herbert?
Yes, old Saddam Herbert was real nasty man.
hubert hubert humphries was never elected
My details of Lyndon Johnson’s VP are a bit Haze-y.
hee
Didn’t Saddam Hebert play goalie for the Candiens back in the ’90’s?
You’re thinking of Pierre Ahmedinejad.
Oh, of course. Stupid me.
Damn French terrorists.
Seriously. They leave cigarette butts everywhere.
I claim credit for a fantastic subthread.
OK, fuck you saran wrap
Were you at Kay’s photo shoot?
I just noticed this. FKing brilliant!
Trying to cover a turkey casserole.
So…yes?
heh
One of the twenty worst things I’ve ever done…I once told a girl in college I’d convert to her church if she slept with me…she did…I didn’t. Yep, I’m going to Hell!
Her fault for buying that one.
She was sweet but a wee bit nutty…after a few dates she wanted me to move to Colorado with her…I declined the offer.
That was probably wise.
Yep…and it only took 17 more years until I settled down.
You can’t put a value on 17 years of not being in a cult.
Oh, I was in a cult…would you like some Kool-Aid by the way?
My roommate in college dated this church-y girl who tried to get him into the Christian thing. Once she was explaining the concept of Lent to him, that she had to give up something important to her, to which he replied, “Your virginity?”
I always tell people that for Lent, I’m giving up restraint.
this roommate was a real asshole – we weren’t on speaking terms for the last few months – but I had to give him credit for that line.
A crappy roommate is one of the worst things ever.
No kidding. I don’t think I can ever live with other people again.
I’m lucky I have a good roommate right now.
I liked my current one so much I married her.
I was thinking about doing the same thing, but shit’s kind of complicated right now. Speaking of which, I should probably wash the dishes.
Yeah, I can’t do that.
I feel yeah – we have two little freeloaders right now.
Well, besides the fact that I don’t feel that way about my roomie, her boyfriend probably wouldn’t like that.
The one I married was technically not my roommate, but her mattress was against my door when I first got into the dormitory
Bloomy? Is that you?
I’m just the preppy version of Bloom…with less hair and less time spent in Florida.
My three favorite cars…my 1988 Ford Tempo…first car, loved it…my 2006 GMC Sierra…first new car I bought…great truck…my 2011 Ford Mustang that I have now…fun car to drive.
I never bought a new car
I’m listening to Tears for Fears while I get my crop mullet together.
Everybody wants to rule their curl.
You need to post more…you’re funny.
Ha! That would surely result in an inverse relationship.
I miss you, darling!
Hey, Lynn! Like others here, I am in the midst of elder care (F-I-L with dementia) so I skulk about but don’t post much.
Does Nnamdi Asomugha suck now?
What was your favorite class you ever took…it could be in either college or High School?
1. 8th grade American History
2. 12th grade Calculus
3. 15th grade Inorganic chemistry and group theory
4. 15th grade Plasma materials processing
5. 16th grade Numerical methods in chemical engineering
Well, I like your number 1…uh, I’m not sure what number 4 and 5 even are….me history major, me no know sciencey stuff.
4. “How to make computer chips”
5. “How not to win friends and influence people”
Ha!…that’s funny.
11th Grade Geometry with my darling Mrs. Kowslowski. Loved her, so much!
I got to take Japanese during my junior and senior years of high school. It changed my life.
There were really only two (non-language) courses that I took in grad school that I enjoyed or made me feel like I was doing something substantive while I was there, but it might not be worth getting into.
This is the lounge…you can get into anything you like…I’ve been trying to get into Oz’s pants for years in the lounge.
I suspect that Oz is wearing a mumu.
Well, now…my job just got easier.
Well, duh!
I for one am wearing a barrel with shoulder straps.
Tomorrow I’m wearing a sandwich board.
Mmmm. Sammich.
I’ll be naked underneath and advertise the tubesteak special.
Good man!
Photo 3 at CSM. Experimental photography. We used infrared film, did Polaroid transfers and solarization, and played with toners (most people went for sepia, but I did selenium and loved the look).
Queer Theory of Star Trek.
It was everything I dreamed it would be, and more. We had a bet going whether our instructor would manage to write our narrative evals without using the word ‘porn’.
And? How’d that bet turn out?
There are apparently a number of classy synonyms for porn.
“fornicatory representations”
Examples, please.
I can’t say I’ve ever had a class I’ve particularly liked, although editing my High School newspaper was pretty tolerable.
My gut feeling is the “Psychology of Sexual Orientation” class I’m taking in the spring will come in 1st place on the list come summer.
Oh my. I give it until the third lecture before you get thrown out of the class for excessive arguing with the professor.
I specifically chose the class for the professor. I think we’ll get along just fine, and I’ll serve as a fine outlying example on multiple fronts.
1. 10th grade biology – steered me toward my current profession
2. 13th grade inorganic chemistry, taught by Wilford Brimley look/sound-alike.
3. 14th grade thermodynamics, taught by a Russian professor who took a very philosophical view on teaching.
4. 17th grade statistics, taught by a professor that we referred to as the Wizard.
There probably should be some more humanity-type courses in here, but they apparently weren’t so memorable, or at least I haven’t used the information enough in my life for them to stick.
13th grade African-American Studies did nearly nothing for me; it did ironically make me feel more like a minority (in an ideological sense) than in any other environment I’ve been in, so from that point of view maybe it was succesful and getting through to me?
The same goes for me, although I think it was 15th grade AfAm studies. I eventually Pass-Failed it and stuck my way through it; had I not done that, I would’ve gotten a D. But I learned something.
The job I pulled on the final essay on how I grew up oppressed by the white man is my crowning acheivement in bullshittery. I got an A in the class.
What do you do for a living? Sounds like we have similar interests. Never would have guessed that two people on this blog would have listed inorganic chemistry as a favorite class.
I’m in the environmental field – worked as a consultant for 10 years before moving to the public sector where my primary role is to write the rules for water quality in this state under the Clean Water Act. My undergrad degree was environmental engineering. After a couple years in the Peace Corps, I realized that full-on engineering wasn’t going to satisfy me, so I ended up getting a Masters in Public Admin.
that is super cool. I do hardcore technical work now (I am a chemical engineer), but mrs llama and I occasionally dream about using long technical careers to do policy later in our careers.
I often wish that I could have done a bit more of the technical/scientific work and certainly wish I could have done more field work, but in the end, I don’t have the kind of discipline needed to do it. OTOH, the policy work is fun in trying to fit the scientific, legal, economic, political, and public pieces into one big puzzle that will ultimately benefit the environment.
You know really…I don’t think we spend enough time talking about The Oak Ridge Boys on Free Kraut.
Their bass singer had a super low voice.
Yep…I can hear him singing Elvira right now.
they were my first concert ever
Hmm…my first concert was either Huey Lewis and the News or Chicago…I can’t remember which…both in 1985 I think.
Geggy Tah and Sting, Concord Pavilion, 199..5?
I saw Sting in 2000 or so and The Police when they did their reunion tour in 2007 I think.
I was invited to see them in Fenway in 2007 on their reunion tour and I decided to hang out with my long-lost second cousin that night, who I have not spoken to since.
Free ticket, too.
Sting was concert number 3 – 1987, Shoreline, Englishman on Tour, Tour.
The Lemonheads, 1993
Prince, 1986.
I think you win.
NB: I went with my mom.
Your idea, or hers?
Hers.
Respect.
Ozzfest, 1997.
Plimsols
Howard Jones at Red Rocks Amphitheater when I was 15. He had a mime with him who did a bit about factory farming and I became a vegetarian after that. True story.
That’s awesome. I would have loved to see him perform “What is Love” live back in the day.
Starship, Great America, 1986.
Black Sabbath, Molly Hatchet, and Blue Oyster Cult, Aloha Stadium 1980.
Wow.
Wishbone Ash, Hammersmith Odeon 1976
nice.
Makes me feel old.
You don’t look your age, and you don’t act it around these parts, either.
Ummm…I’d like to know what you think ptbnl’s age is, based on his looks?
I’d like to know how old Kay thinks I act around here!
12-90. You have range.
Based on a handful of pictures and one personal meeting, I say he looks 38-44.
So close; he’s actually 38+44.
Better +82 than -6.
What’s my IQ got to with it?
but are we anticipating ptbnl, or remembering? I think the former would be better than +82
I still think it’s weird that our first concerts were both for the same band. But mine was in the not-nearly-as-cool Metropolitan Arena, home of the North Stars hockey team. And they were the warmup for Foghat. But still.
Ha! What year was that?
Probably around the same time – Slow Ride was a big hit at the time, and it came out in ’75.
Take it easy.
I saw them in Reno….wow….too many years ago to count. Love them! Actually met 2 of them in the elevator at the hotel as well.
When The Who play the line I hope I die before I get old…do they mean it ironically now?
I thought they just flipped it around … hope I get old before I die.
So it looks like Miss Hawaii is going to go fo an English Degree at The University of Arkansas…so at least one of us will know when to use the Oxford Comma.
Yay, that’s very cool and I wish you both the best. ;)
I’m proud of her…she has a lot on her plate but she’s a hard worker so I know she’ll do great.
And you are so supportive, which means a lot.
Well, I should be able to help her with her history homework at least.
Does that mean they’re gonna teach her to say “isn’t” instead of “ain’t?”
Speaking of the Oxford comma…
LOL!
That was my favorite educational tool for undergraduates.
I just saw the FK Bowling thing. I bet that was fun!
People are posting in three lounge’s at once…it’s madness!…it’s dogs and cats loving each other…it’s the GOP and the Dems actually agreeing on something…it’s the Raiders not losing by double digits!
Some top ten list I’ll never do…
Ten worst things I’ve done
Ten best ways to use VORP in a sentence
Ten best moves made by President Romney in his first term
Ten best sex dreams I’ve had involving Jerry Brown.
definitely want to hear all of those
Ten best Raiders moments of 2012.
uh…yep, that’ll be a no go list.
I’d like that Neil Diamond song better if it was forever in khakis.
All my posts will make more sense if you read them in a slightly condescending NPR host voice.
Being in an office with said NPR hosts is aurally confusing enough.
Coming up next on All Things Considered…French Indie Pop and what it means for the Euro.
In no observable doubt due to the contributions of the Alameda Mafia and its Contra Costan cohorts, you’ll all be pleased and astonished to learn that — in as classic a case of falling uphill as I can name — Gerrie Burke has just been named permanent host of Sports Overnight America on the Sports Byline Network, taking over from a certain Chris Townsend.
I am currently, at this moment, waiting for Gerrie to smoke a roof J to calm down so I can convince him to 1) let me produce this monstrosity-to-be on a nightly basis and 2) get him to bring Bill “Spaceman” Lee on as co-host for at least some of the time, in part to allay Ger’s fears of solo flight after so long as a 2nd banana.
Oh, boy.
Wait! CT is out?
He can’t do it no more, he is too thinly spread. So yeah.
So tell us what is going on, love.
I just called G but he is talking to Ron Barr about what all this is about. I will let you guys know what is happening after Ger and I talk later.
Holy shit, are you serious?
Uh huh.
You guys going in again Friday? Can I come play??
I can spotlight as a second banana.
Like, every other Thursday, when I don’t work on Friday
Me too.
Thanks, and go As.
I swear to FK if you get in there and don’t bring me in studio… NEVER MAKING RIBS AGAIN.
Thanks, and go As.
Just FKin come with us next time, Mr. I-am-too-freaked-out-to-even-call-in.
That would require more notice than “oh shit, they’re on the air????”
Thanks, and go As.
ditto
You’re tough to find. Go in FB and give me a phone number and the next time, which will be very soon and maybe as soon as next week, we will make sure you are there.
I work in IT and I’m connected to the internet like 26 hours a day. Tough to find? :D
Thanks, and go As.
FAIL: Correct Response-EMAIL ME!
Good Former Emperor, just how/where would/should one call in, if it is indeed true you folks are looking for more callers?
Just how/where/when should one go/tune in to listen to this fracas, if it is indeed true you folks are looking for more listeners?
Just means he’s going to have the Alameda Mafia & company on more frequently! LOL He’s already asking about this Friday! hahaha That was fun! Can’t wait to go again. Though how I managed to be “the responsible one” playing sound intern I have no idea! I wanna play with the mics too next time…though with as often as my boobs got brought up in the begining maybe I will hide out in the sound booth after all! :P
Friday, you say?
Boobs, you say?
This is relevant to my interests.
Thanks, and go As.
when did you actually tune in Mikey?? Just to hear us say hi?
Not long after a picture of B next to some super cute Aussie chick was posted on FB.
Thanks, and go As.
I first thought that was Christina Applegate
Christina Applegate is still super cute.
She sure is. I meant that as a compliment to the girl in the picture. I didn’t know she was an Aussie, though. I always got along with Aussies
of course you did.
Thanks, and go As.
I am not convinced they are austrailian.
If they’re not ‘Strine, they’re from Alabama.
I don’t know. That guy looks a little like Jamie Moyer if you ask me.
You’re on FKing fire lately!
Two chicks at the same time, huh?
Sorry, I was tired, couldn’t handle more
Just don’t let it happen again.
That was the match that knocked you guys out of the cup, so I hope they at least bought you a couple of drinks.
It was a historical match. Josip Simunic became first player in history of soccer to be booked three times in a same game.
I forgot about that! Good times.
the yellow “australia” shirt didn’t tip you off?
I didn’t know the girl on FB picture with Bryan was Australian
ah.
she is. i was there. i like her.
Let’s get together, all three of us
i think we have to invite her sweet boyfriend.
Is he Aussie, too?
So, three new Star Wars movies and none of them made by George Lucas…I guess that means less Jar-Jar in the Senate scenes.
This post from three weeks ago was brought to you by 101 Jokes about Karl Rove on Election Night.
Remember that time when I posted something funny?….yeah, me neither.
I remember when I told you …eh, nevermind.
Half the radio stations in town have already switched to Christmas music 24 hours a day…me no likey.
I wonder how many times in my life I’ve heard that John Lennon song.
Yeah, I think I’ve given peace enough of a chance at this point.
I hate peas.
Haters gonna hate.
I FKing hate Christmas music.
I actually only like religious Christian music, which is weird since I’m not Christian. I FKing stab my ears every time I have to hear Santa Baby or Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
Although here is a cool Christmas song:
Interestingly, I only like non-Christian Christmas Music, some of which I like quite a bit, especially Rat Pack-style versions.
“And that swingin’ cat Jesus…asleep on the hay”
Don’t knock the swing music! It’s a blast to dance to. Used to take swing classes every Friday night in Sac! Been awhile…may need to start up again!
So no “What do you get a Wookie for Christmas” for you?
If you’re in Fremont this Sunday, you better put your earplugs in or you might here me singing this with my quartet:
I’m with you. Instead of rockin’ around the xmas tree, how about some Jingle Bell Metal?
Hey, try working here for an entire summer and get back to me.
I’ve been there! Crazy place. Also, a glance at their URL suggested something else entirely.
Santa’s offering co-location services to hosting providers?
When I was very young, my grandparents lived in Cascade, CO and had a yearly unlimited pass so my grandma took my brother and I there every weekend. I LOVED it. Then when I turned 16 I thought, yeah, it would be fun to work there. Boy was I ever wrong.
I should have remembered this one earlier.

I’m protesting Walmart by only shopping there 4 times a week instead of 5…Fight the Power!
Amazon Prime! That’ll show those anti-union Walmart thugs!
Things they never tell you…a third nipple itches more than the first two.
Things they never tell you…at a certain point you’ll spend more time grooming ear hair than the hair on your head.
And now…History of the planet Earth…Part 1
God was like um, I need a place to put my things so he built the planet in 6 days and then took Sunday off to watch football.
I’ve had many names…sirbed, Bed, Bed., Mr. Bed, B-E-D, attijah, B.E.D., Brian29 and I was one of the original six people who played the part of Bloom…through it all I have yet to figure out what the hell VORP actually is…but one day…oh, one day…I will figure out…and on that day…I will rock your world.
wait you were actually were attijah?
Thanks, and go As.
No, I was never attijah but…attijah was me.
you just blew my mind
Then my work here is done.
Do you remember the Original Six Bloomie Secret Handshake?
Oh yes, I practiced for weeks and I have the scars to prove it…I’ll never forget it now.
I’m not saying I’m kinky but last night I had my wife dress up as Captain Kirk and I painted my entire body green to be the slave girl.
I smell a nerd.
nerd and green paint.
Bederick, it was Captain Pike who was tempted by the slave girls. And he ended up living in a trash compactor afterwards.
My Star Trek captains knowledge really isn’t where it needs to be.
Okay, your 47 favorite Oak Ridge Boys songs…Go!
The one they did with Phil Collins.
Yeah when the banjos hit on the county fried version of Sussudio it’s so awesome.
TEBOW SAVES
Sanchez invests.
It probably says a lot about me that my favorite rap song is by Weird Al.
… that you like gently tweaking the Amish?
All about the Pentiums?
Alternative Polka is one of the crowning achievements of 20th century art.
When you get to the 11th hole I’d go with a 3 wood off the tee so you can shape your shot better on the dog leg.
You’re right. You ARE kinky.
If I ever switch teams I’m looking you up.
If you ever look me up I’m switching teams.
Ha..so, it’s a deal then.
You silly binarists make me laugh.
C’mon. Dog leg, kinky… get it?
Hit for show, putt for dough, chip for anal.
Working on the short game!
Thats what they always say! LOL
Soooo. Like that we’re being linked to Moustakas/Wil Meyers in trade talks.
Oh?
Dang, the A’s have already traded Tyson Ross elsewhere.
Links or it didn’t happen. I can’t find any. I’d kill for a Moose and Meyers invasion, oh shit.

I floated Jarrod Parker over at primer and some Royals fan thought that wasn’t enough for Wil Meyers. FK that.
Parker plus a foam peanut or two, maybe?
Listen if, De do do do, de da da da is all you want to say to me than you can fuck yourself.
I’m not saying I’m political but I have marched several times for fake boobs rights.
What about artificially grown boobs?
We here at Bed Inc. are pro boob in all their forms.
This lounge has a nice beat and you can’t dance to it…I give it an 8.
Don’t worry folks…I’ll be breaking down all the A’s off-season plans and moves in the next lounge so set your DVR.
No, I’m not happy to see you…your sister just gave me a hand job.
Oh, you’re posts are so sexual tonight…I don’t like that…talk more about the Oak Ridge Boys instead.
Maybe tonight you can write Oak Ridge Boys sexual fanfiction.
I’ve done a three way if you count my goldfish.
Okay…Bridget the Midget called. It looks there was a hung jury on her trial for the murder of Robert Wuhl. I guess her taking my advice to hire Mr. T as her lawyer worked out. Now they plan to run off to Vegas for a quickie wedding and I’m wanted as the Maid of Honor.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world you FK’ers.
But was the jury well hung? Inquiring minds want to know.
I guess I should take off this barrel that I’ve been wearing and pretend to go to sleep. Goodnight, FKers.
I really should get some sleep. Good night, everyone.
An easy way to make the world a better place: before everything you do, as yourself “Will this enrich Ozz’s life?” If the answer is no, don’t bother.
So, I’m sorta kinda thinking about starting a Facebook account again, now that I’ve quit drinking and am pretty sure I won’t be drunk-posting dumb shit that I get embarrassed about later. Should I be asking for congratulations or for someone to talk me out of the idea?
I don’t do the Book so I’m a bad person to ask. However, if you’re offering bets that you’ll never post something you get embarrassed about later, I’ll take a cut of that action.
One of the reasons I participate here is that I can come back the next morning and clean up the worst of the mess. I don’t do it often but on occasion yes, as recently as about a week ago. Pretty sure nm has incriminating evidence.
I can’t foresee ever joining Facebook. I do realize I’m missing some things.
I keep thinking that I should get rid of my account on FB because it makes me depressed, but I am always pleasantly surprised whenever anyone tries to reach out to me on it. And if you’re super nosy, it’s the most socially acceptable way to go these days. I don’t think you stand to lose anything, honestly.
But maybe the deeper question is about self-censorship, or how people can present themselves on the internet? Since we can tailor ourselves any way we damn well please on the internet, I think it’s leading to this broader social expectation where awkward or embarrassing situations – online or otherwise – are no longer acceptable. I don’t like that so much.
self censorship is what a lot of people do to protect their job prospects. I don’t care. but I don’t ever say anything outrageous. My sister never posts anything political as to not offend her PTA mates
Yeah, that’s one of my two big problems (the other being a foolish nostalgia for the concept of privacy). But to the first, I simply am not the same person to my friends as I am to my co-workers as I am to my family. I don’t want to be, but Facebook would force me (for instance) to be wary of saying Fuck the Fucking Fuck Giants. I don’t want to have to self-edit to the least interesting common denominator.
I am very polite ab out things like that. Except I did tease my orange county Angels fans.
Google+ is trying to solve that issue but the implementation has been less than stellar.
Most of my Facebook communication is through PM. Group chatting through PMs is pretty useful in those “I need to vent but only to certain people” situations. For example, my Giants hating friends and I (all 4 of us!) have a private conversation thread specifically dedicated to Fuck the Fucking Fuck Giants comments.
That’s why they have the custom button! You can pick and choose who see’s/has access to what….yes I am a FB addict. ;)
I use it a lot to waste time in court. that and twitter
One of it’s many good uses!
True, and I think that’s a legitimate precaution depending on circumstances. But I guess what I was trying to get at is this idea that we can edit things to our liking online, as if the realities of things like failure, anxiety, slipping on a banana peel, etc. aren’t supposed to happen in real life. Anyway, that was a long tangent.
you should…we’re quite entertaining on there! LOL
I mostly post about my cats. And yes one of them died over a year ago
Are we friends there? We should be. :) email addy to find me (or you can look on someone else’s friends list) This ID @hotmail.com
no we aren’t. Done
I wish I could blame being drunk for 95% of my AN/FK posts…sadly, I’m a sober as a Mormon.
meh, those that know you won’t give a shit, those that are offended, need to lighten the fuck up
Stepping out of the house tonight, a few minutes after the rain stopped. There’s one of those ugly metal awnings over the front door. Just as my foot landed on the first step outside the awning, one cold and lonely drop of rain rolled down, let itself go, and landed perfectly on my right nipple. Cold and wet. What an awful feeling.
Sounds like an omen. Don’t defrost the freezer this week.
Also: shirtless on a rainy night?
No no, I had a shirt on. But the raindrop soaked through it pretty much instantly.
