Today was a good day. Played some golf….had a nice dinner with my wife….and my Jayhawks  are in the title game….Here’s a new lounge.

They could make a movie about the Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf story. The hero and the goat. Leaf back in jail, Manning back in the game.
Mrs. PDX has a ladies night out, kids are asleep, dishes are done. Time to, um, what am I supposed to do now?
P-A-R-T-Y
or R-E-A-D
or W-A-T-C-H T-V
or L-O-U-N-G-E
best.
or S-E-X
I’m missing an essential person for that.
never! you are there, right? ;)
Saving myself in case Mrs. PDX comes home in the mood.
i’m sure you can handle both. :P
hmm….a solo mission perhaps?
always fun.
I’m opting for W-A-T-C-H M-O-V-I-E.
and L-O-U-N-G-E
I know most people aren’t sports fans but I wonder if they know how much they’re missing out on? The feeling I have right now about my Jayhawks is joy and I’d hate to miss out on that.
Also, they probably aren’t burning couches and getting pepper sprayed in Lawrence tonight.
this is romantic, beddy.
Care to dance?
yes!!!
Well, this day just keeps getting better and better.
yay! :D
In two weeks we’re going to a fancy, black tie fundraiser thing where we’ll get to do some dancing. The dancing part is the part I’m looking forward to.
that is always my favorite! no one here likes to dance. they just like to make fun of me when i do. :(
My friends have laughed at some of my moves too but then when I leave the dance with the happy girl and they’re still yaking it up with other dudes….I win.
i think they laugh mostly because i like to dance on a cooler, or a chair, or a couch…i must be ABOVE everyone else. ;)
Hell, that sounds like fun to me.
i know that i am enjoying it!
That’s the most important thing.
so…dancing while high i see…
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Mrs. PDX and I used to do that a lot when she worked at the art museum. I miss it, although the tux is still in the closet.
ooooh…put it on before she gets home tonight! ;)
That would be fun…but way too much work.
please do it!!!!!
Maybe just the bow tie…and nothing else.
cummerbund, too. (teeheehee)
Trying to find some pics (with the whole suit). Let’s see if this works:
Damn. Didn’t work.
make it work, pdx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more try.
omg. LOF!!!!!!! :D is that your baby?
That was her a bit more than a year ago. She’s a full-fledged toddler now. Still cute as all get out. Here’s both of them.
your children are awesome, PDX. so happy for you and your lady! :)
That cummerbund looks…human.
Heh. She was pretty much attached to me most of that night.
I should be in bed but it’s going to take about an hour before I can relax enough to sleep.
how was the golf?
Fun as always. It’s always good to get out there with the boys.
did you win? (is that even a question to ask about golf?)
I had the low score and I won all their money so yes, I won.
WOOOOOOOOO! money? do people do that?
Some folks play for a lot of money but we don’t. We have side bets and I give strokes since I’m the better player but I still got them in the end. 9 & 18 are beer holes too. Loser buys.
i didn’t even know people did that. how awesome! i’ve only ever played mini golf, but then i get upset and throw things and have to sit in the car.
Mini golf is a stressful game. I probably have bets going about half the time I play. I imagine that’s about average for golf junkies like myself.
the last time we played i hit the ball into the moat and got so pissed off i went to the arcade. poor G lost because he was left on a team that was just him.
i don’t know why it makes me so FRUSTRATED and ANGRY. ;)
I’m pretty cool on the golf course. I don’t throw my clubs but I’ll drop some F-bombs from time to time. I only cuss during golf and Raiders games.
i’ve never heard you cuss!
I dropped a mulit-worded one today. It felt good.
but, but, but…you NEVER swear here. wtf, beddy? ;)
pfft….I curse here from time to time. Usually in a jokey way.
i would need to search. it must be when i am not around.
Wow… you and I are a lot alike on that front…
Every once in a while, a good pagan has to throw a golf club, or beat the FK out of something with it like Jack Nicholson.
pretty much. it really makes me VIOLENT at times.
I get mad at electronic items from time to time but that’s about it.
omg. those make me SPIT FIRE.
honestly, i’m too volatile for my health and the health of those around me. :(
My temper is like a hot flash….quick and then it’s over and I’m cool a few minutes later. I think it’s worse to hold it all in and then go on a shooting spree.
truth. and it sounds like we are very similar.
My main thing is just to try to let it go as quickly as I can. It seems to work and I rarely get angry as being a patient person is a must if you want to be a teacher.
i also see no reason to ever hold grudges, if i just say what i feel outright. holding grudges leaks precious energy.
Yeah holding a grudge just ends up hurting you more than the person you’re holding the grudge against.
truth! ♥ one mind, beddy. ♥
Yep.
I threw a remote against the wall once and broke it. My worst was I slammed down on a laptop with my fist….put a huge dent in it and all I got out of that was that I needed to buy a new laptop.
yeah, it is satisfying for that one second…after, not so much. :(
Exactly
Croquet
yeah. that’s me, only worse. :(
It’s gotta be hard for the boys to go back to playing games that don’t matter after already playing regular season games in Japan.
the game tonight was sweet, even though it was called for rain. but yeah, i agree with you completely. it’s strange for me…can’t even begin to imagine what it is like for them.
At least they’re in the Bay Area, rather than finishing out the dregs of the Cactus league schedule like the M’s.
The Mariners are going to be FKing tired in August and September. I doubt they win 20 games total over those two months.
did you go to the game tonight, sweetheart?
No.
I could have, with a ride home and everything, but I figured it would be rain-shortened, and I was right.
Besides, I’m kinda moody today, and I don’t feel like hanging out with vague acquaintances.
If it was a FK Day or something, I would have been there.
i hope i might see you on friday?
I don’t do opening day… too crowded.
I should be there for FK Day on the 21st, tho…
okay, good, we are so there. :)
It’s a good thing that when we go back to playing for real, the other team will be in the same situation.
I have two big pranks ready for tomorrow….there will be blood….well, not really.
can you tell us?
I will give details on Monday. One of them is something I’ve been working on for two months.
good.
I’m going to a gender transition support group tomorrow…
…unless I’m too lazy or I chicken out…
do it, babe! no matter how scary it feels. (where there is fear, there is power.)
I’m just scared that it’ll be a bunch of weak bitches who can’t handle their shit complaining and complaining some more…
then you tell them to shut up, and show them what it means to be an empowered person. ♥
I could use a small army of tranny vigilantes…
That sounds like a movie.
can i help in some way?
I hope you do whatever works best for you, Kay.
A gender transition group meeting on April Fools sounds not to be missed.
wow, lots of new taglines!
Don’t you hate it when you eat candy after you’ve already brushed your teeth as you get ready for bed?
hahaha. what kind of candy?
M&M’s….they were just sitting there on my desk….those tasty little bastards.
i wanted it to be something tastier. >:(
My favorite candy requires no tooth brushing afterwards.
dare i even ask…
Just let your mind go wherever you want on that one but I’m guessing you’re on the right path.
pretty sure i am. ha!
The cough drops that have become my major addiction the last two weeks have essentially caused my teeth to be coated in a permanent fur.
I can feel your pain on that one. I must have gone through 6 bags of those things.
I’m on my 4th. Feeling much better today, though.
I’m finally back to normal….well, as normal as someone like me can be.
was worried about you!
By the end of it I really did look like a homeless person. But I’ve shaved and I’m in the process of eating everything I see so I’m not too scary looking at the moment.
i can’t even begin to imagine the amount of germs you are exposed to as a teacher!
I rarely if ever got sick until I became one but we get paid the big bucks so it’s worth it.
freelance = no benefits like that
I do have great insurance and the summers off….and I love the job so I know how lucky I am.
it thrills me that life is treating you so well right now, dear friend. :)
Thank you….the last year and a half has been the best stretch of my life ever.
you are rocking it, love.
Glad that it’s better. This has been one hell of a flu or whatever it is. I rarely get so ill.
ik, r??? G and i actually got sick. i think it had been three years for me. i was hallucinating at one point. and not in a good way.
I don’t get sick often but when I do it’s a barn burner. I hope you feel better soon.
the cherry ones that do nothing but taste like candy are my favorite. when i was little, i would pretend a sore throat so my gram would buy me a box of them.
I pulled that trick a time or twelve.
better than cherry lifesavers! ;)
Spawn1 grabbed one today and liked it too much. My preference is Fisherman’s Friend. It tastes like ass but it actually works for an extended period.
yeah, i would never have faked a sore throat for those! but when i really have one, yes, that is a good remedy! ;)
sucrets?
maybe? i think so.
no, wait! i think they were luden’s. in that little white box.
They came in a tin and according to wiki:
the ones i liked were in a paper box, and the box was white, with some sort of black lettering?
yes. I also hate when i make a late night eating decision (ice cream) and then mrs. Aces makes a better sounding one (chips and salsa). I know Im grown up and can have both but I also know im fat enough with one…
I was going to make brownies tonight but it turned out we boiled all of our eggs and dyed them this afternoon.
I typically look and either have 36 eggs or 0. And it all depends on if I need 1 or not.
The tagline I read is….increasingly useless barge of blather…..aka what Bed has brought to Free Kraut.
i want a nice tagline written about me.
For someone as cool as you that shouldn’t be a problem.
you are so sweet, beddy. i know i can always count on you to make me feel better about myself!
You’ve done the same for me many times.
awwwwww….hugz…sobbings…dancings on coolerz ♥
“Welcome to FK. Be nice to the witch, or else.”
FSU! ♥
Hiya! Looking forward to seeing you on Friday!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think Jacob Ripton sounds like a good guy name or a bad guy name?
bad?
hmm….right now I have the name set for a villain but I’m curious if I should save it for a protagonist.
Punchline to a fart joke.
So proud of Mrs Aces. She finished teaching her first Reiki for kids class today. The look on her face-and theirs…was a sight to see.
when do i get to meet your witchy wife, 5? i also do reiki, but it sounds like she is much more adept than i.
I hope I can convince her to make a trip up this summer. She is already booking herself up like crazy. She is running a summer camp for spiritual kids, going to Kentucky(i think) for a convention and planning a conference for this fall. But I will do my damndest.
The good thing is an awesome witch makes my arguement compelling.
where do you live? you don’t have to answer if that makes you feel uncomfy.
Not at all. Im down in Fresno.
fresYES? ;)
But I rent the house out to people dying to vacation here during the summer ;)
Once they master the reiki, it’s on to telekinesis, right?
fuck. yes.
THEN…onto TELEPORTATION! let’s do it!!!
I hope so. We have a temperpedic mattress that weighs a ton and Im going to need to move it soon. Also will need to move my dads stuff out of storage soon, and Im lazy..so let the kids fire up those brain cells!
ha. i think i really like you, 5. ♥
Likewise dear. And youll love Mrs Aces. My standard line is we have 2 groups of friends – hers and my friends who like her better once they meet her.
i can’t wait. sometime this season we will make it happen. :)
I’ve never moved a dead body, but I assume it’s a lot like moving a futon mattress.
Can’t say I know what Reiki is but then I do live in Arkansas.
For you guys it is when your at the door and you order your buddy Raymond to give you something to open it…
Everybody loves my buddy Raymond.
Healing with yr hands, m’boy…
magicks! :)
Isn’t that an Elton John song?
I’m so cool that I sleep with two chicks every night….the downside is one of them keeps waking me up at 4 in the morning.
you know you love it!!!
I do but I wouldn’t mind if she slept till 6 am or so.
soon!
I imagine in the future I’ll look back and wish we could do all this again.
so i’ve heard told. (and you can!)
We’re planning on one more kid. I get to do the fun part.
yay! :)
Whenever lil Miss Ace sneaks in the room Mrs. Aces reminds me that I said I wouldnt hate sleeping with 2 women..
:D
Tomorrow’s plan:
Costco
Install drip system
Bathe children
Drink a beer
I have a busy day ahead of me.
place “Drink a beer” first, and the day will be fun. ;)
It’d take more than one.
truth!
Replace drip system with finally put up the foot board and rails on the bed and we have the same day.
and laundry…just got another load done but will still have a couple tomorrow. I’m heading back down to the OC this week and want the family to have a light load while Im gone.
Are 2 and 3 related?
2-4, actually.
yeah the world would swing if I were king
well, i am Queen, and i’m happy. ;)
I’m 3rd in command at my house and that’s fine with me….okay, the dog and the cat just said I’m actually 5th in command.
yes! ladies rule!
Yes they do.
I was just thinking of Wildflowers. How weird.
My 2nd favorite Tom Petty album.
First?
Full Moon Fever
Ah.
Mrs. PDX home. G’night folks!
have fun, sweetheart. hope you are wearing that bowtie!! ;)
I have crickets jumping at my window.
You’ll never take me alive you little bastards.
I’m off to Dreamville.
sleep well and wake, beddy. hugs to your ladies from me, please.
i am singing the cars in my head.
Moving in Stereo was always my favorite. Also My Best Friend’s Girl.
i have no idea why this is in my head now, but i can’t get enough. need something else, plz.
oh no! i will NEVER get that out of my head!!!!!
It coulda been “get out of my dreams and into my car…”
There’s only one car love song for me:
I love car.
I love…lamp.
i want music that is not billy ocean! :)
why is it so quiet? is it my computer??
I thought it was just me. Being hard of hearing does that to you…but it isnt Billy Ocean.
i’m on the full misfits now:
Before I head off I will leave you with some local flavor
rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.
happy april, 5!
going through my head since this afternoon…
you want me to share in this MADNESS?!?!?! ;)
It’s still March for another 30 minutes.
let’s try this instead; stick through the 5 seconds of talking at the front:
Funky base line. I like.
soon, i’ll make you listen to the misfits.
I LOVE CANNONBALL!!!
It is one of those songs that seems to magically disappear off my cpu and I realize it and have to track it down again and again…
As for me, I think I have a complete Kim Deal discography…
She and Robert Pollard should have put their egos (and Bob’s failing marriage) aside and gotten married when they had the chance.
I’m going to shock you here. I have no idea who any of these people are.
Cant decide if I should go start trying to fix my mp3s or watch another episode of Mad Men.
But I have decided I will have cereal.
what kind of cereal?
I think frosted mini wheats but I will have a definitive answer when I get my butt up…
icky! no!!! :(
My daughter has recently gotten hooked on frosted mini wheats.
Final results:
We had a brokered convention at the pantry…the winner is Peanut Butter on Saltines and a big glass of milk.
milk? tell me the saltines at least have salt on them.
Just because I live in Fresno does not make me uncivilized.
♥
sending out the Ed signal.
sleeping, sorry
Goodnight witchy, and all you lesser FKers.
goodnight, lovely FSU. can’t wait until friday! :D
urf?
meow
urf!
meee-ooow.
uuuurff?
Today’s random Journey song is….Faithfully. When you listen to this song you’ll want to put on a Jeans jacket, grow out your mullet and have a lighter lit above your head as you sway to the music with your girlfriend, Heather.
Can tomorrow’s random Journey song be something from their pre-Steve Perry era, please?
Sorry but the chair does not recognize any non Steve Perry Journey.
Heh. My HS girlfriend actually played that song to me on the piano in a getting-back-together-not-really-breaking-up-this-time moment.
Just remember if you don’t prank someone today then God will hate you and you’ll go to hell….or Florida.
[shudders]
Good morning friends. I’ve been feeling crummy and going to bed early. Hence no lounging.
sorry you haven’t been feeling well.
hopefully you’ll be back in tip-top shape soon.
I’m lucky… I rarely get physically sick… although my mind is a mess for sure!
I’m tired of feeling unwell, so I’m just going to start pretending that I’m well.
Was anyone here into Amphetamine Reptile Records back in the 90’s…
Today Is The Day, Guzzard, Lubricated Goat, The Cows,
and especially Hammerhead and Chokebore.
Iwouldn’t say into. I like sexy pee stories and a few other records.
Hammerhead was a loud, violent power trio… Lyrics were either about historical atrocities or future dehumanization of man and integration with computer systems…
They’re still around pretty much, but they’re called “Vaz” now.
Chokebore was proto-emo with mathy tendencies… like Polvo or June Of ’44, but I like Chokebore a lot better.
I’m going to shock you here, again. I have no idea who any of these people are.
i remember that cows had no the. boss hog, melvins. but not the specific bands you’re saying.
and helmet. i saw them with jesus lizard at bogart’s in long beach and on a bill with rollins and ministry at, crap, what wast it called… it was a big place in burbank-ish, the universal amphitheater?
I’ve seen The Jesus Lizard live more than I’ve seen any other band…
Sonic Youth is a close second…
1 time each for me. i went to JL just because someone told me to, i’d never heard of them, and i was blown away. SY was inside the brooklyn bridge anchorage, this huge tall space with stone walls making crazy echoes. would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the typical new york crowd’s talking through the whole show, which also echoed off the walls.
too cool for school. yep, NYC has that.
I am not sure if I saw JL. its possible. SY was fun at the WHiskey when I saw them. I also saw kin and thurston in the Hartford/springfield airport in 2001 or so.
I thought they’d NEVER break up.
I’m still kinda blown away.
yeah, right?
it was actually that they were so un-cool. it was a hot ticket, so everybody wanted it, even people who had no interest in the band. so instead of a bunch of ubercool post-grunge protohipsters (which would have been fine with me), it was low level financial managers trying to impress girls who’d rather be home watching friends. of course they were bored and had to chatter. and if that particular 1000 people didn’t show, there were 1,000,000 more just like them waiting to take their place. THAT’S the typical NYC crowd. works wonders when you’re running, say, a baseball team, or a crappy chinese takeout restaurant. but when you just want to enjoy the crap out of some feedback while out of your mind on 2CB… annoying!
I saw the Jesus Lizard and Sonic Youth for the first time at Lollapalooza ’95 (Pavement, Cypress Hill, and Beck kicked ass too)
the best part was that during their main stage set, they announced to the crowd “Come back and see us on the second stage when… (disgustedly) Hole (more disgust) is up here…”
There were about 40 people watching them on the second stage, and this knob who was in my band kept yelling “PLAY MONKEY TRICK!”
So, before every song, David Yow would mumble… “This next song’s called Monkey Trick,” and they never did play Monkey Trick during that set. That was badass.
hilarious.
oh, and i saw a glimpse of courtney spungen on TV yesterday and i wanted to punch (and cry).
cool. When I saw SY at the whiskey, le Renaldo (sp?) almost hit me in the head with a drumstick. I forget who I told that to who responded with “how’d you get that close to the drummer?”
A fair question on their part, but still makes me smile.
I’m living in a hamster paradise.
pfft….all this music talk and not one link to Barry Manilow.
He writes the songs, folks….the songs that make the whole world sing.
Songs of love and special things.
and he wrote some rock and roll, so you can move.
Now if you can point out Barry’s rock and roll you are better then me.
I will admit Im a sucker for Weekend in new England
Just in case the police ask you were with me between the hours of 3-6 am….thanks for doing me a solid.
Okay, back to spring cleaning…so far I’ve found 36 cents in change, an old shirt and Jimmy Hoffa.
I once made a reference to something that happened after 1998 but it didn’t feel right so I’ve never tried it again.
Listen I’m just going to say it….Pop Rocks kill.
I have a new grandbaby. Her name is Shorty.
April Fools, won.
holy. smokes. i just ran into someone i haven’t seen since santa cruz ’94, when his mom, whom i’d called to have her come by from walnut creek, picked him up and drove off. this was about a week after a 9-person house meeting, with him absent, in which we’d decided that i had to call his mom. which was about week 3 of his sublet in the room of a guy who went to europe for a month, a room he’d vacated of all furnishings or any items other than the bed, filled the middle of the room with wheelbarrowfuls of dirt in a big mound, and proceeded to tell us that about 6 weeks ago (just before he had randomly found me at a coffee shop — yes, he went to santa cruz looking for me, we’d been friends in college and he’d heard i was in SC — to ask if he could crash with me) he had decided (his word, decided) that no, he wasn’t crazy, and that lithium wasn’t for him.
Wow. That’s wild. When you saw him today was there lots of dirt under his fingernails?
no, sadder. he looked beaten by life. a 40-yr-old supermarket clerk who wanted to be a performance artist. i was in his line. i got his phone number and i think i’ll actually call him some day.
life’s a motherfucker sometimes.
Wow, that’s incredible. I don’t think I would have been able to exercise that kind of patience. At least he had someone to pick him up.
My last roommate used to leave shoes in the freezer. But I had to draw the line when she “forgot about” a ton of broken glass that she had left sitting on the kitchen floor, after I had been away for a week.
And she eventually stopped paying rent on time, so that was kind of a problem, too.
those were different times and patience was easier. if you called someone and they weren’t there, you might have had to wait a whole 8-12 hours before they got near their message. then they’d call you back and you might not get that right away either. then we went to the library and checked out books. that took like an hour at least.
I lived in a 10-unrelated-strangers (no students, oddly) house in Palo Alto until about five months before the arrival of Poppy Jr. Within a week or so of my moving in, the guy in the room next to mine told me very matter-of-factly that he was bipolar and that I should let him know if I ever found that he was acting “off,” because that would mean his meds should be adjusted. Then he gave me his brother’s business card and said, “If you’re really worried and I’m not taking you seriously about it, call him.” I got that he had had medication issues before and he was trying to be proactive about letting his housemates who see him regularly know about it… but it was a really unnerving way to be welcomed to the neighborhood. As it turns out, he was always a little “off,” but in a consistent, benign and very appealing way, and he became one of my best friends.
that’s a big difference in attitude between your friend and mine as he used to be. i hope he’s found a way to be responsible like that. he’s alive, and that’s something.
You don’t know Xolott Guevara, do you?
nope. similar story?
no… just a random chance you knew someone I used to vaguely know…
he used to be in a lot of bands in SC in that era… Bomb Happy is the one that comes to mind.
i was there in the era of spaceboy / lost goat / SAW / pupus and cocktails / the fucking champs / and that soul-retro band maya rudolph was in but isn’t listed in her wiki page (supersoul? soulsauce? somethingsuper?).
Holy carp, you guys hear about Ubaldo and Tulo?
Benches cleared in ST after Ubaldo drilled him in the elbow first pitch and then pumps his chest after!?
Whoa, cant believe they left him in the game, hopefully its nothing – but you can ruin someone’s career w/ that BS.
Story:
If that’s the full backstory, that’s pretty awful of Jimenez.
The pitcher also called Cleveland “heaven”…
So clearly he’s insane.
Just heard Jim Tracy quote saying it was the most gutless act he’s seen in 35 years in the game.
There was a great comment to the effect that its even more disappointing than Ubaldo’s 2011, zing!
I mean… 35 years ago people got beaned all the time.
just not because the other guy got a contract the pitcher doing the beaning was jealous of.
that can’t be it, right?
Because there was no free agency.
You don’t think Gibson would bean a motherfucker for getting paid more?
Sal Maglie said he would been his grandmother, if she crowded the plate.
I went 1-1 on pranks today which ties me for first in the A.L. West.
Choucroute Gratuit!
I’m making choucroute garnie for dinner tonight and I’m rather excited.
Bwahahaha!
The biggest difference to me between FK and AN is the lack of drama here. There isn’t a set of rules here and what that seems to provide is a free exchange of ideas where people speak their mind and even when folks disagree they aren’t disagreeable about it.
On AN there were so many rules about what you could and couldn’t say and it just seemed to make people cranky. Add the fact that you could pretty much be banned at the drop of a hat and it made it a place where you couldn’t feel all that comfortable speaking your mind.
I’ll admit I missed AN for a bit and I still miss some of the people who didn’t come over here but boy I don’t miss the vibe of that site at all.
Here I feel comfortable being myself and I think it’s because on Free Kraut you’re free to be whoever you want to be.
Go fuck yourself, bed. Fuck yourself.
This is the kind of love I’m talking about….I feel warm and fuzzy all over.
Wait….it turns out I was just wearing a wool sweater….you can all go to hell!
I think no rules (and a reasonable group (and google shields)) means that people work their shit out, instead of crying to the internet police. Once there are internet police, it changes everything.
And it is a good point about working it out. I had thought when this all kicked off that, at some point, someone would get in a knockdown drag out and leave. In the OC there were always the posts by those who were saying this is it for them.
But even in the biggest, most heated discussions over here I can’t think of anyone who has claimed they are going to leave, or has left for that reason. Sure there are some people who came, saw it wasn’t their glass of Vodka, and left, but everyone knows all’s fair and acts accordingly.
Well, Xbx did. But that was early days.
He never made a big stink about leaving. He just left. Which was too bad.
I ask him back every so often. he declines politely – I think it’s an interest thing for him.
And, what happened to mk?
He didn’t find us as entertaining as he once did (set against I believe a dwindling interest in baseball generally).
Dang.
I enjoyed him quite a bit. I grew really quite fond of him, though he may not have really thought of me as much more than a lab
ratpolar bear.Following all the drama on AN during the off-season (read: rubbernecking at the train wreck over there) was a great procrastination outlet. But that’s only because I was up to my eyeballs in work at that point and had no baseball to follow.
It probably figures that the opposite is true for me now. But anyway, for what it’s worth coming from a random noob, I’m glad FK is around. You all seem pretty swell.
‘cept Bloom. Fuck that guy.
Is that the hazing ritual now? Sheesh.
Please don’t make me use any of my James Joyce jokes. I don’t want to get banned.
where’s the dedication?
Pprrpffrrppffff.
(I never said they were any good.)
Yay!
[tips cap]
Subconsciously inspired by your earlier “the banned is on the field” quip.
Banned on the run!
Banned à part
excelent.
Yeah, it’s one of my faves.
That one and the Giants one are really good.
Furthermore I shall not seek nor accept the nomination of my party to be your Vice President of Marketing.
When you come to a fork in the road turn around as that means you’re going the wrong way.
If I come to a fork in the road, I’m spending half the day looking for the cake someone has to be hinding.

When you come to a fork in the road you should zip your pants up before the highway patrolman sees you.
See ya in the next life, Free Kraut.
All right – opening night ticket purchased, now anticipating tailgating.
I wish I could convince Mrs. Aces to watch either Game of Thrones or Mad Men. The DVR is calling to me & i bet I end up watching David Tutera instead…T
(If anyone is interested in playing in the scavenger hunt this season that me and my merry band of homies are doing, I posted in that post about emailing me. <3 Just to mention it somewhere else because YAY. :D)
Beer for dinner is less fun at 10:45 when you realize that you are sober and hungry.
When I drank beer, food was optional.
Is this still a pants free zone?
yes.
Are we talking American pants or British pants?
Imperial or metric?
Finally found out the song I was singing for two days.
And the word “feet” is nowhere in the song.
it’s right there in the title!

I hate this day. It has been so fucked up, I don’t know where to begin. We weren’t supposed to have clinicals tomorrow, but my teacher tells us last minute today that we actually do. So the homework I worked on all weekend isn’t due for two weeks. The time I spent on that from this weekend at work could have been spent studying for the test I failed today. Blah.
So I get to the hospital today and there is ZERO patient information in the chart. I didn’t even get her first name. I had labs. We introduce ourselves the day before when we are gathering information, so I went in and said hi. I said, “I’m Jennifer, I’ll be taking care of you tomorrow and Wednesday.” She rolled her eyes. Fucking bitch. So the instructor just calls me and tells me the hospital called her and the patient refused to have me as her nurse tomorrow.
FK this day.
That’s really weak. Sorry Jennifer. The whole point of clinicals is to put students in a position to learn, which requires preparation. Horrible position for your instructor to put you in.
Of course, as I’m sure you’ve heard, “nurses eat their young,” so maybe your instructor was trying to deliver some tough love. More likely she/he’s just an asshole, though.
I just hope I didn’t do anything wrong.
Nurse U got 86’d by patients on her clinical rotations a couple of times too. Some patients are just gonna be like that.
Yeah. Jot down their names and addresses and file them away under “Nixon”
