I'm High Definition On Life

So far, no word from WGA as to how it'll affect their negotiations -- if they ever go back to the bargaining table. But it'll definitely set a precedent for SAG. Their contract is also up June 30.

I stand corrected. WGA response.

once we were in Omaha Nebraska and I guess I hadn't been eating too much solid food that week.. mostly a liquid diet you could say.
we get to the club in Omaha (which was really more of a coffee shop. ugh.) and I really had to take a leak. So it's pouring pouring pouring rain  and I run into the club first and head straight for the men's room.  I'm standing there, about to do my business, and once I finally let it fly it kinda came out both ends.  I didn't even know I had to take a dump.. !!  Not that it would've been a dump.  It was allllllll liquid and all in my pants.
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. There's people in the coffee shop having a nice quiet coffee shop kind of a time and I'm not really sure where the van's gonna be parked and the bathroom is in the very back of this place. So first I cleaned up as much as possible and threw my boxers in the garbage can and then with just the soiled pants on ( and shirts and shoes of course) I walked hurriedly out of the club and then I just stood in the pouring pouring pouring rain for about ten minutes.

you should have put your shitty underwear in with your merch and pulled it out after the set, on stage. "we got shirts for sale." then let the kids look through to pick out their own shirts. that's what you shoulda done. i don't really know what else to say. that was one of the most disgusting and uncomfortable stories i have read on the internets.

I have but one question.

did you get to wash your ass before you played, or did you just let it air dry like mud and drink on through the night?

washed off. standing in the rain helped

My dad just sent me the following email forward:

A Somalian arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States . He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country , giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. " Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America !"
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America!" That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East , I am not American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa !"
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says..."Probably at work!!!!!!!

IF YOU DON'T PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, TOMORROW AT 11:30 AM YOU WILL RECEIVE THREE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Barely 24 hours after my wife and I went before USCIS, he's sending me immigrant jokes. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems, it's just the timing. I'm pretty pissed off though. I was so irritated, I did something I never ever do: I called him out. I could have been much more eloquent, I could have gone on forever, but I don't enjoy lecturing my own dad and if I'd gone on too long, he'd never read it. He probably won't read it as is. ARRRRGH.

There's just so much I could have said. I only regret not saying this:
"My wife, your daughter-in-law, who is an immigrant, works around 60 hours a week."

I thought y'all solved the race problem?

My father is friends with some rather conservative types in the U.S (fellow gun nuts, who'd a thunk it?), and he keeps his mouth closed as much as he can when they talk politics (even though he is the most conservative of my immediate family - my mother is slightly more conservative than my sister and I, and we're radical lefties). But a couple of weeks ago his friend Jim started complaining about Obama being Muslim and all that noise. Having spent the last five years following U.S. politics, I was well acquainted with the rumors circulating and told my dad that his friend had probably received a version of this smear campaign chain letter that I had seen posted a couple hundred times on message boards. The next time he went shooting my father told me that his friend was going to send him an email with the information. Again, I told him that "I am sure he going to send you that dirty tricks email. It was probably written by some apprentice of Karl Rove". My father asked me to get the counter information for him to send in response. I told him that it was probably as easy as giving him a link to Snopes. A day later he told me to check his email for it and sure enough it was the same email:

The mention of SNOPES.com was a new addition. I wrote the site the other day and they added this warning to the page:

Variations:   One version of the e-mail in circulation claims "We were told this was checked out on 'snopes.com'. It is factual. Check for yourself." and includes a link to this web site. It's our guess that whoever included that bit was counting on folks to not check, as our article says the opposite: that the polemic is not factual but rather is false. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp


I gave my father the link and some other links

Well, Yo La Tengo, The Shins and the Moore/Gordon family participated in that, so screw you.  I'm still cool.
