Me and my brother
up
Actually, that is EXACTLY what my legs look like.
up
sexy…
up
Not my feet, of course. I have 5 toes. And hobbit-like hair.
so basically its going to lose its lease for the harbor?
up
Your reference is lost on me, sorry.
But for what it’s worth, I heard “harbor” in my head as “Hopper” like in those annoying commercials. So that’s gotta be worth something.
up
I don’t know what commercials those are.
I was referring to Drake’s Bay Oysters.
up
Dish Network or someone has their TiVo competitor, called the Hopper. The commercials have a bunch of people shouting “THE HOPPER!” with Boston accents. It makes me want to set the TV on fire and then drop it from a helicopter onto the mound at Fenway.
up
that would be obnoxious.
up
I’ll take that to mean the commercial, not my desired response.
up
yes
{{{removes pants}}}
Is this OK?
up
We prefer that you be over 18 years of age.
4-hour-long power failure ends just as I was implementing the Emergency Plan (which consists mostly of rescuing the evening’s beer from the warming fridge and putting it out on the front porch where it’s about 35 degrees right now).
up
Best practices would be to drink it as soon as the power went out, while the fridge was at it’s coldest.
up
why is your beer not consistently kept in 35 degree outside?
up
Because at this time of year it’s usually around 10 degrees when I wake up and want my morning IPA.
up
That might break the bottles, cant have that.
up
You have to be careful with that shit at the South Pole. There have been many disasters when someone puts their beer outside to cool down and then forgets about it (except the beer is all swill, so eh).
up
I had this happen with my 20th birthday monty python and the holy ale that was illegally sent to me by a friend of my mom when I tried to icebox it so i could drink it that night.
So I went to class today, and there was good news and bad news.
Supposedly, the textbook we’re using about the history of queer sexuality research is pretty cutting edge, although it’s pretty sparse and suffers from a very narrow focus, likely due to having been written on the cheap. I was highly disappointed.
Space is rad.
up
How is she so nonchalant about not hitting her head?
up
Because SPACE!
Friday, for the first time in over 20+ years, I’m having a birthday party.
up
Is it yours?
up
Yes, but my birthday is actually Saturday. I work, though. :(
up
Happy early Birthday, love!
up
is it a pantsless party?
up
We’re gonna go down to the Cheesecake Factory, have a drink.
up
definitely needs to be pantsless
up
And shirtless!
up
DEFINITELY.
up
On Friday I’m going to a birthday party too! I’ll have an extra piece of cake and say it’s for you.
up
While this isnt typically my responsibility, with no one else heading here yet…
Is it on your boobs?
up
It’s not Mike’s birthday.
up
up
Are you saying that when it is his birthday, it will be on your boobs? Because that’s how I read that. Anyone else?
up
That’s how I’m understanding it as well.
up
That’s certainly what she’s implying.
up
Why haven’t you had a birthday party in 20+ years?
up
Well, for at least 4 years my dad was in the hospital for my birthday. Then there was a few natural disasters. Then we were poor. So, there were other important things.
up
Your birthday is bad luck.
up
I haven’t celebrated my B-day in about 15 years. I have no plans to do so either. I’m not a birthday fan.
up
I’ll probably never celebrate mine again. Yonessa (basically) stole it.
up
On the other hand, the entire country celebrates mine!
up
Mine is far less celebrated, but more hotly debated.
up
At least it’s not “Columbus Day.”
up
Mine is the anniversary of this thing, not to mention this, and a little too close to this.
up
In that vein, andeux and I have this as our signature event.
up
Mine is the anniversary of me being born, which is bad enough.
up
Wow. We must share the same birthday!
up
Actually, I was born the day the Titanic left port.
up
Mine too. Not hers until 2017.
I miss you my loves. Baseball can’t get here soon enough.
And I’m happy to see this site. The last couple of times I’ve come here, I couldn’t sign on, and it looked crazy.
up
If you see the black-screen format you can go to http://freekraut.net/wp-login.php, login there and the site will be normal after that.
up
I did, and thank you. It was scary.
The past couple days have kinda sucked… but it’ll get better. Can’t wait to see (some of) you on Sunday!
up
<3
up
Will you be there?
up
Si!
Also, I’m watching the MLB Network countdown of Memorable Plays from 2000-2009. That Jeter play is going to be like in the top 10, right? I just want to turn off the TV before I break something.
up
Probably #1
Woo hoo! A SluSu interview. I didn’t know she was pres of the BBWAA.
So, I checked my email again, and nothing back from MLB or the A’s, so all I can think is that my application for BlogFest was not only rejected, but they’re not even bothering to send out rejection emails to rejected applicants.
up
Eh, maybe. Or maybe they’re just slow and disorganized. Or maybe the intern the assigned to vet applications tried to go to freekraut.com and got lost.
up
You might be right, but I can’t let my weekend plans hinge on an 11th hour email from some flaky intern.
You ever have those days where shaving just seems like an undue burden? Even though you have to work and you kinda look like a mountain man?
up
Every. Fucking. Day.
up
Can I tell you how much I love working remotely?
So I’ve gone back to shaving the head, and I have been just taking the clippers to it once a week or so. I had let it grow a bit longer, and I finally was thinking before I started cutting. So, for the past 3 days, I have been sporting a ‘hawk for the first time in my life.
up
I was reminiscing fondly a few weeks back about the summer I spent with a shaved head. I love the look, and I especially love the texture after about three days of growth sets in. But two things stop me from returning to this look:
1. When you shave your head unexpectedly, a huge proportion of your acquaintenances think you’ve gone insane, regardless of how good it looks.
2. It’s not low maintenance. That was the surprise for me…I hate the idea of spending more than 30 seconds on my hair in the morning. It’s a big reason why I was a longhair for so many years. But you have to keep shaving every few days to maintain; too much work.
up
I didn’t experience #1 when I did it both times. And that despite having done it in the dead of winter just before taking a trip to CO for the holidays. I didn’t keep it up, but yeah, you most definitely have to. The ugly fuzz look when it’s too long to look right and too short to do anything with is awful.
up
They already thought you were insane
up
Good point. Though I think you can change “thought” to “knew”.
up
I was shocked at the cost the first time I did it. I went from a generic hair cut every 6-8 weeks to buying a new pack of razors every other week.
up
But no more shampoo.
up
Yes. I only shave once every week or two for that very reason. Just before my latest driver’s license photo I went about 2 months or so without doing so. Man do I look like a rapist or something.
up
Rapists tend to have thick beards?
up
It was the creepy bushiness of it.
up
My creepiness comes from within.
up
That normally where mine comes from. But that was during a period I decided to wear it on the outside too. Maybe I should look at the mirror cause I’m not sure I ever took it off.
up
My beard makes me look like a terrorist.
up
I thought it was your brown skin?
up
THASS RAYCESS!
up
ORLY?
up
Actually, yeah.
up
I enjoy shaving ever since I switched to a safety razor. Feels like this little manly ritual every morning. It takes longer, though, which has led to me showing up super shaggy at work a few times when I had to skip it.
up
See, I never get a close shave. Whether I do it, I can still feel the stubble.
up
I had the same feeling before I switched to the safety razor. I can get a very close shave now.
up
Do you do the safety dance?
up
Glorious Mundy has no hats.
up
Do you do a second pass against the grain?
up
This question is for both dmoas and Jennifer.
up
It really doesn’t matter what direction I come at it.
Super Bowl related: Could we please get something straight once and for all.
up
So let’s talk about Los Gatos…
up
San Pedro
up
Colorado
up
In Austin TX, Guadalupe St. is pronounced “Gwadaloop.”
up
Prescott
up
Arkansas
up
up
(it rhymes with “plague”)
up
It’s nice that we bastardize foreign languages when we name shit after them.
up
That’s okay. When ever I say to out of towners I live in Novato, they think I’m saying “Nevada”. I gave up and just say “northern california.”
up
It amused me to no end in high school that the Novato baseball unis split “No” and “vato” when unbuttoned.
up
Heh. I was a San Marin guy. Green & Gold baby!
I know Planet Earth came out 7 years ago, but it’s still just as awesome. Bravo, BBC.
up
It’s so good. I still don’t understand how in the hell they shot some of that stuff, like the one in the caves.
up
I’ve wondered about quite a few shots too. I would love to see a behind-the-scenes film. I wonder if they put one on the DVD. I may have to buy it.
up
Actually, I want to say I did see something about it once. They were talking about the snow leopard footage. I just remembered because that’s the part that’s on right now. Anyway, they went to film it but had to leave because of the war in Afghanistan. They went back a couple of years later. They only had 3 weeks, I think, and didn’t get anything until the very last day. But on that day, they got footage of a now leopard hunting, which had never been filmed before.
up
Love BBC America! I saw that, so amazing!
up
You should be here! It’s cold, and I need someone to snuggle under a blanket and watch this with me.
up
I would so do that. Snuggling is the best!
up
Can I stop by? I’ll bring my Avengers blanket and
somea lot of adipose tissue. I could use the company.up
yes
up
Of course! Me, too!
All are welcome.
up
Yay! It’ll be fun!
up
Seriously! I love all you all!
up
We’re gonna need a bigger bed. Also, Mike isn’t allowed with 5 feet of me.
up
Why? He’s really harmless. As are we all.
up
I don’t want him getting handsy.
up
You might. :)
up
You still have me and Lynn to worry about, though.
up
up
bwahahaha!
up
In the version I saw, every episode had “how did they shoot that” coda.
Following the hunting wolf pack by microlight was pretty cool.
up
Huh, I need to find your version.
After finally reaching my frustration limit with FireFK’d, I just switched over to Chrome.
I am in a seriously innovative mood here, I know… what’s next? I might upgrade my rotary phone to a touchtone. My Atari 2600 to a Nintendo. If I’m feeling real ambitious, I might conceivably go straight off the deep end and it’s bye-bye Victrola, hello record player.
up
My boss gave me an iPhone 5. He’s not off the hook by a long shot.
up
What was your issue with firefox?
up
The fact that it sucked my ass 2 times a second. and thrice on Sunday. The scroll wheel alone, you’d scroll and then 15 seconds later it would move. And it made dialup seem like the speed of a 16GB RAM gaming computer. How the FK they get away with making something that awful, I do not know, maybe it is just a Mafia front… MobZilla. It used to be good but used to be’s don’t count anymore, they just lay on the floor til we sweep them away.
I am just trying to configure Chrome to not use too much memory so it shits up my FLAC decoder in Winamp, any suggestions anyone?
up
Fortunately I’ve never had that problem – Firefox has always worked fine for me. Are you sure it’s the browser?
up
It’s probably the browser in conjunction with his PC. FF is a mega memory hog. You need to restart it regularly or it can get out of control and the plugin container goes nuts too. In fact, the Flashplayer plugin container is the likely culprit. You can kill it under tasks and then reload the page.
up
flash does that everywhere
up
True. But since FF is such a memory hog with memory leakage it makes it worse.
up
Sure, but unlike chrome it comes usable out of the box. And unlike chrome it has plugins that work as advertised.
up
How is Chrome not usable out of the box? I’ve never had a problem using it as is.
up
So many missing (and unobtainable) features. Type to search (the plugin is a total failure). Force new windows into new tabs (same). And those are just the two most fundamental features that work flawlessly on FF.
Even new chrome features (like opening a new tab when you type into the address bar) don’t work 100% of the time.
up
There are plugins that work and probably deal with most of your issues. “Tabs to the Front” dealt with my tabbing complaints. Nevertheless, I agree with you, I got tired of trying to customize Chrome to make it work like Firefox, and eventually decided screw it, I’ll just stick with FF.
up
Unfortunately not an option on the work computer. It’s locked out, but not in a way that prevents Chrome from installing.
up
I have no problems with the stock experience. I do have a button plugin on the top left that takes me to the top of the page. Other than that i like stock Chrome and webkit way better than gecko and firefox.
up
and I say this as a friend of one of the founders of mozilla
up
Really? You should bring him out to the coliseum one of these days.
up
not sure hes into baseball. if you want to go see a dark wave show, ill introduce you :-P
up
I like chrome, I switched about a year back when FF got really buggy and would crash often.
I’m assuming these issues were fixed, used FF for years.
up
I think Chrome has been great forcing FF to innovate
up
I absolutely agree with this.
up
Sure. Competition is always good
up
even when its who can kick the most puppies?
up
Especially when it is who can kick the most puppies.
up
After all, we’re going to need to know who to kill first.
up
Chill out. It’s not like they’re kittens.
up
This.
up
Oh, I didn’t meant that to say I don’t like FF. I use FF at home & work as exclusively as I’m able. Chrome is just too simplistic for me and IE is complete and utter garbage.
up
what plugins do you use?
up
In firefox, I use AdBlock Plus (essential), https Everywhere, Greasemonkey/Greasefire (but I don’t use it heavily), Pocket (used to be Read It Later), and Firemacs (for good keybindings).
up
Was not aware of https everywhere. Will install when I get home.
Would love to hear others’ plugin favorites for FF and/or Chrome.
up
In chrome I use Adblock Plus (which works as expected), Chrome toolbox (ok, not perfect), Google reader notifier (better than the FF equivalent), IE Tab Multi (better than FF equivalent, necessary for work-related IE only sites), Screen Capture (worthless, dies the next time I clean extensions), Sexy Undo Close Tab (works ok, less good than stock FF behavior. Stock Chrome behavior is stupid.), Tab Position Customiser (fails to prevent new windows entirely too often), Yet Another Drag and Go (works fine).
Don’t have my FF list at the office.
I will say that I REALLY like not having to restart the browser to install plugins.
up
Your last point is the thing that drives me batty about FF. That and that when I launch it after an update it yells at me about which plugins are no longer supported or whatever. DO NOT CARE.
Chrome is just a much smoother experience for someone like me who doesn’t have any interest in going under the hood.
up
I use firebug in FF. You can only get a FB-lite for Chrome/IE.
up
I used to use firebug, but it had some behaviors that annoyed me and I didn’t really need it, so I recently uninstalled.
up
I occasionally need to do a lot js debugging and while it’s definitely not perfect, it’s a huge help in tracking where things are going wonky. Too bad the one for IE sucks giant donkey balls because I have to deal with multi-platform shit.
up
Yeah, I basically just installed it out of curiosity, so the threshold for uninstallation was really low.
up
The Foxit Reader plugin for viewing PDFs inside the browser in both FF and Chrome. Chrome’s own PDF viewer is horrendous.
up
Good idea. My in-browser pdf display sucks. However, I see that Foxit reader is windows only. Does anyone know of a good pdf reader plugin for linux (and preferably cross-platform for mac too)?
up
Double bonus would be a ps reader.
up
I use this (mac only) but this (cross-platform) looks interesting.
up
I just installed pdfjs and disabled the acrobat reader plugin. I’ll see how it goes for the next few days…
up
What is wrong with chrome’s stock tab behavior?
up
There is no useful undo close tab function.
up
if you click both buttons they close
up
In FF if you errantly close a tab, you can easily reopen it. I’m guessing that’s what nm is referring to that.
up
You can reopen it in chrome too, by going to the “recently closed” menu. I guess in FF it’s just a keystroke or something?
up
Where is that menu? I just went searching for it and couldn’t find it anywhere obvious.
up
Bottom right of the screen when you’re on a blank tab. It’s pretty inconspicuous.
up
That’s kind of lame. Hide it from all the places you’d normally think to look.
up
This. (But thanks for letting me know)
up
That’s more of a menu of places you’ve been. FF actually restores the full tab, back/forth history intact.
up
This too.
up
Right. UNDO close tab. Not close tab.
up
control shift t
up
Which is awful if I want to reopen a tab other than the last one I closed, without cycling through all my browsing history.
up
GM explains where it is. I don’t find this particularly advantagous for ff
It’s funny how we seem to get activity around here between about 2 and 3 pm PST on Fridays, and then by 4 it gets quiet. I don’t know, but I envision all of you fucking (and FKing) off at work all day, then rushing to clear your desk in that last hour before heading home for the weekend. I could be wrong, but I rather enjoy that visual.
up
or Im at home still sick and you fkers aren’t entertaining me enough!
up
Or that. Now you know how I feel at 4pm PST.
up
More likely to me is that people just leave work early on Friday. I of course am still grinding away at my desk. Have to work some on Sunday too, tragically.
up
Parenthetically, this also causes big problems when one of you non-West Coasters posts a pantsless lounge during our working hours.
up
I just work from home on Friday afternoons (on the DL) which makes pantsless lounges significantly less complicated.
up
That’s so thoughtful of you. When I kidnap Kate Upton and chain her to a bed in my basement, I’ll let you come out and feel her up once a week.
up
Cool.
up
I see. So when I move, you’ll all be here?
up
are you still going to fan fest?
up
I’m coming for the after-party. Plan to get there around 2:00 or so, buy tickets at the box office for the home opener and some other games, then finding wacc’s truck (hopefully in the usual spot) and hanging out with whoever else shows up there.
up
4:00′s about when I realize I need to get a metric FKton of housework done before the wife gets home.
up
i go to jail at the end of the day
up
Work Release is a bitch.
Any of you fine folks watch Army Wives?
Holy shit. Today was amazing. FOUR birthday cakes. Friends. Family. Steaks. Laughter. Presents.
up
YAY!!!!
up
BFF Sam brought her daughter and my parents just ate her up.
up
Wait, literally? Y’all ate a child?
up
Yes. We literally ate a child.
up
Was it good?
up
Moist and tender.
up
They usually are.
up
Four? That is super awesome! <3
I don’t know what’s happening, but it feels like an English version of Lorem Ipsum.
up
Well played.
Completely feeling these guys tonight.
up
As I’ve mentioned before, I saw them play a gig in a two-thirds empty auditorium at Northwestern U in 1983.
up
Wow, lucky lucky fkin you, and CRIMINAL!
up
And it was a free show, no less. NU was not exactly a hotbed of edginess or radicalism.
up
IS. That hasn’t changed in 30 years.
up
Thank you for the reminder. Currently rocking it as loud as my wife’s ears can handle, which is not very.
