Been reading about internet memes today on KnowYourMeme.com. Funny shit.

They have short videos explaining them now.

Following their links led me to a site on horrible sites. So I put a horrible site in your horrible site, so you can snark while you snark.

You learn well, grasshopper.

Nope. "Lydia of Purple" has order forms and appears in human-compiled directories of online Christian clothing sellers.

She also apparently got the message on the domain name and registered lydiaofpurple.com to make things easier for people.

...

so  looks like Noyel has gotten accepted to Columbia U in chicago..  He's going up there for the month of June and he's looking for a place to stay....



Jeeefffff??

Many universities rent rooms in their student residences during summer (when they're typically empty) for quite cheap.  Some even have reduced rates for future students.

You're forgetting that Poe's Law also works in reverse: real fundamentalism can also be indistinguishable from parody fundamentalism.

Oh, and get well fast, Neddy!

Noyel just needs to make sure he's actually *in* the city and near the el. It isn't like Memphis, where Bartlett is only 15 minutes from U of M. It'd take him no less than 45 minutes to drive from where I am and more like 90 in morning or afternoon rush hour traffic. No teenage kid has any business doing three hours of driving in traffic every day. There are commuter trains, but that would take 90-120 minutes and would be pretty unforgiving about him wanting to stay in town much past dinnertime.

The dorms, if he can. Anywhere near the el if that is no good. Craigslist is probably a good place to get an idea, but I'd ask student housing for recommendations even if he doesn't want to live on campus.

WHAT'S YOUR SCORE?

If you have answered YES to any one of the questions, there is a definite warning that you may be an alcoholic.

If you have answered YES to any two, the chances are that you are an alcoholic.

If you answered YES to three or more, you are definitely an alcoholic.


it's settled then. i scored a 6. (#5, # 6, #15, #16, #17, #19 have all been true at some point or another)   

[Tripp]

I only scored a 3  but I already figured I was an alkie.

[bebopbalogna]

just to clarify...

5. Have you ever felt remorse after drinking?

who hasn't  woken up one day and said "fuck...that was dumb."

6. Have you ever got into financial difficulties as a result of drinking?

see above.   and add "especially after checking the contents of your wallet."

15. Do you drink to escape from worries or trouble?

not as a rule, but yeah.  there have been plenty of times that i've specifically sought a drink to drown the sorrow/anger.

16. Do you drink alone?

have i ever been home alone and opened a beer while i'm watching tv?  check.  have a ever gone to a bar without knowing who i would know there and ended up having several with no company? check.

17. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of drinking?

see #5 and #6 and add "and where the hell did this florescent wristband come from?"

19. Do you drink to build up your self-confidence?

do redneck karaoke bars count?

[Tripp]

ok, maybe I'm a 5.

[Bizarro]

Have I over told y'all the story about answering a phone survey from Jim Beam about a week after my first wife left me?

It was a survey on drinking habits calling at 11am and it went something like this:

So to start, some questions about frequency.
Shoot.
How many drinks did you drink over the last day?
8.
8 drinks in the last 24 hours...
No. That was 8 drinks so far today. Um... 22 in the last 24 hours.
Okay... How many alcoholic beverages have you consumed over the past week... seven days. (pause)... Sir?
I'm counting... 135.
135?
Give or take.
Okay... and which of the following have you had over the past week:  vodka?
Yes.
Rum?
Yes.
Gin?
Yes.
Tequila?
Yes.
Bourbon/whiskey?
Yes.
Scotch?
No.
No?
No. Er, wait... is Cutty Sark a whiskey or a scotch?
It's a scotch, sir.
Then yes.

And so on. It ended with the lady asking if Jim Beam and cola were available pre-mixed in 6 packs, would I try it? To which all I could say was, "Do I sound picky?"

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

It's not one of those Clear Channel tea parties is it?
