1/17/12 Lounge: Do the new guests know about the naked requirement for lounging?
Gather round the fireplace, and pull up your blankies and pull down your pants, because it's lounge time.

(btw, don't search "naked campfire" in google unless you are ready for the results......)

Speaking of drinking....
I have a current obsession with tiny little alcohol glasses. That’s not what they are called, but they used them a lot in old movies.
That's a liquer or cordial glass.

THANK YOU!
I went walking around some stores in town today, and I had to stop myself from buying a set (or ten).
I wouldn't, either.
Unless I took up drinking bourbon or scotch.
I’ve taken up waching a lot of old movies lately, and now I really want to be back in that time.
No, they are in different designs and are crystal-ish.
The top is a bulb with a cork on it. The fancy people in movies pour booze out of them.
We all gotta start somewhere.
I didn’t know it was called that until I bought one for Ozzwife.

Today I met up with my nursey friends for the first day of skool.
They made me feel really good about myself.
One said, “You are going to have a hard time finding a husband that’s as funny as you.” And “I see you marrying a truck driver… or someone that’s gone and lot and comes back to occasionally. You are your own person who likes to do her own things.”
I want to stop living right now and just sit in my living room watching movies and drinking from cordial glasses. Maybe have some friends over to shoot the shit with.
I'll drop by, as long as I can put water in my cordial glass.

Whatever floats your boat.
I’m not a fan of alcohol. I like fruity things, but that’s it. I tried a shot of cheap tequila when I had a bad cold, and I ended up barfing in the floor before I swallowed the shot.
If you're gonna drink tequila, drink the good stuff.
I don’t care for most types of alcohol. I’ll take water 9 times out of 10.

So I had a dream last night.
George Clooney was pulling baby alligators out of a shrub and throwing them at my feet, but the last one he pulled out was really un-ripe banana.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Oh, and I was on a croquet field.
Or court, or pitch, or whatever it’s called.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
He is the banana king?
Also, there are two people in Hollywood I want to punch in the face: George Clooney, and Julia Roberts.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Robert Pattinson amuses me because he walks around talking trash about Twilight and the fans and Stephanie Meyer still love him.
He is such a troll, it makes me laugh.
The ‘I don’t wash my hair for two weeks because it gives it character’ thing… not so much.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Wht do you have against George Clooney?
If you’re gonna punch someone, punch the Backstreet Boys.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
You couldn't even identify them in a lineup.
And I hate him because he can only play one character ‘smug jackass’. And it’s impossible to watch a movie with him and NOT see George Clooney.
And he is fug as hell.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Naw.
His character in Syriana, for example, was nothing like O Brother.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I wanted to punch both in the face. That's the connection.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
It sounds to me like you have anger management problems.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Oh honey, you actually thought you were SPECIAL?
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Now, your mommy... she's special. REAL special.

Kyli, I lof you
But I couldn’t disagree more. I think Clooney is a fantastic actor, and I don’t see him as smug. He’s one of the few actors in this world that seems to genuinely believe “Hey, I’m basically stealing money here.” I would think that whole smug jackass thing would apply more to a guy like Vince Vaughn, who always seems to play himself in movies. But then again, I like him, too!
Anyway, Clooney being fug? Seriously, come on. I’m a straight man (although it troubles me that twice in this thread I have to point that out), but that Clooney is a handsome devil.

I have an unhealthy gay man-crush on George Clooney
And I’m not gay. But the guy just gets to me. He is so enviable (dates whatever attractive girl younger than him he wants, alternates between money-grab movie roles and movies he really believes in) and seems like a very nice, fun guy. Bastard.

Here's some irony for you
My first comment on the Lounge— indeed, my first time even knowing where the Lounge is— is also very probably my last comment on AN; certainly it’s my last until and unless site management changes radically. 25568 comments and it comes to this.
I suppose we all have to do what we have to do. For anyone who cares, bye. You’ve got about five minutes to read the longer version of this, I figure.

I can all but guarantee you that no one on the other side is real happy, either.
Point of contention. The other site is not only bashing the ones remaining here. The other site has been around for about three years now. While there is a lot of complaining about AN going on there now, that is to be expected. People are very upset and cannot express themselves here at all. Eventually, that will die down.
I have, for example, done about three years worth of Breaking Bad analysis there. They discuss politics, both local and national (I don’t really participate, but hey). There’s always a lot of in-depth A’s discussion. The core group of people over there are incredibly bright.
It’s the only place for dissension right now. But that goes away. And no one is saying anyone has to choose. You can do both. I’m a founding member of that website.

But I have to point out, you’re on the front lines of this battle. If you wanted to try to make things better, you’re closer than most of us to the principal characters in this matter. But I still see your name on the list of mods while I no longer see people like DanBot on that list.
If you don’t want to rock the boat, that’s fine, I understand. I won’t fault you for staying out of a fracas that has already resulted in so much destruction on AN. But if you’re going to come into the lounge and lament AN’s demise, it makes me ask, what are you doing behind closed doors to try and stop it?

Or To Put This Another (Less Happy) Way: I'm Feeling Completely Homeless
AN was very, very important to me as an NRAF. Now it’s falling apart and everyone left is walking on eggshells.
The alternative is, at least for me, no alternative: FK is—and has long been—obsessed with dressing down “the OC” (NOBODY CALLS IT THAT ;-) ) . . . indeed its obsessions helped lead us to this present mess. I want a place to hang out with other smart, funny folks who care too much about the Oakland A’s. I don’t particularly want to obsess about AN…particularly away from AN.
I just wish that a lot of people that I truly care about on both sides of this nonsense had gotten over themselves and learned to live with each other and treat each other with a little more respect and tolerance. But that seems to be the one thing that didn’t happen.
And now we’re here.
Perhaps we need a third alternative away from both sides of this not-so Cold War?
Unfortunately, I’m a lurker and hanger-on, not an institution builder. Even if I built it, nobody would come.

I have read it, Bloomie
And I appreciate your pov of this…and other things. You’re among my favorite ANers. I’ll miss you around here if you go (and if I stay), and I’m very tempted by the promise of what you have to say about Breaking Bad (one of my favorite shows).
But I need to go on my experience of FK, which is as I said.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m an old friend of Nico’s (or, to be even more full in my disclosure, my younger brother is an old friend of Nico’s). Back in the ‘80s we went to countless A’s games together.
Those prone to read these previous two sentences as “I’m ‘in the tank’ for Nico” of course cannot be prevented from doing so. All I can say is that’s not what I wrote or what I mean.
What I do mean is that personal attacks and conspiracy theories regarding people I know and care about are hard for me to swallow. Even when they come from people who who I otherwise respect and whose (online) opinions I otherwise value.
Part of what has happened over the last few weeks involved concrete issues. Those issues have been resolved. My opinions about how they have been resolved have been stated elsewhere. My understanding is that I should not repeat those opinions here and now.
But part of what happened — on both sides IMO — is that people became far, far too invested in personal tiffs, which in turn became vendettas, which then became matters of high principle (as we homo sapiens tend to make such things).
And unlike the concrete issues, these things, pretty tragically, haven’t been resolved. And, especially given the way the concrete issues were resolved, I suspect they never will.
I feel kinda the way I did when Charlie Finley broke up the first team I ever loved. What I want simply doesn’t exist any more. And I’m not going to start rooting for the Yanks just ’cause Catfish pitches for them.

yeah, I can relate.
I felt the same way in 2008/9 when FK first started. There was no reconciliation between (or among) the broken pieces. That’s what it felt like last time, like Gigs’s divorce above. I learned to live a fractured life, but AN was never what it was after they shoved that batch out.
Now they shove this batch out, and they will most likely get a new batch in. So you will still have something that resembles AN. No worries.

on other SBNation sites today, ATQ has declared it I Hate Washington Day at the Dawg Pound by going and “liking” all their posts so that the thread turns green. It’s kinda pretty.

Baseball is a stupid-making enterprise in that nobody wants to be singled out or say something dumb. —Michael Lewis
I still don't get why things turn green on every site.
When I first saw it here, I assumed it was just because green is one of our colors. I figured recommended posts would turn red or blue or whatever on other sites. If that were the case, then they should turn purple on the Husky site so the Duck people couldn’t turn their site green.
Picking the color for recommended posts (and unread, flagged, hidden) should be a control panel choice for each blog.

I suspect as a result of this prank, the Dawg Pound will be asking SBN to change the color scheme

I'm sure it's not easy.
I would guess it to be a moderate-difficulty software update. Not something simple that’s just changing a few lines, but not something hard that would require major restructuring of the data either.
It’s the sort of thing that could be included in the next major upgrade, I think. If people care about it, they need to be requesting it to the tech guys sooner rather than later, or it won’t make it this round.
We at AN don’t care so much, since the default colors suit us. (In fact, they were probably designed specifically for us, and then everyone else got stuck with them.)

If you'll forgive my pedantry,
Mad Men’s portrayal of the 1950s tells us more about our decade than it tells us about the 1950s. The real 1950s weren’t very much like that, but it’s interesting that that’s what we choose to project on them. (It’s also interesting what demographic Mad Men most appeals to.)
It’s exactly like Orientalism.

There is also some touching involved, but yeah.
The smoother the baby’s scrotum, the younger they are. On baby girls it’s the appearance of the labia. On either gender, the flexibility of their ears is also used.

You heard about the woman in Illinois?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Guess you didn't hear about it.
This woman clocked out for lunch, but stayed at her desk and continued working. She was informed that company policy required her to take a 30 minute break. She wanted to continue working, so she was called into the HR office and ended up getting fired. The company denied her unemployment claim, saying that there was misconduct on her part. In court, they said she committed insubordination during the meeting in the HR office. Anyway, she appealed their unemployment denial 3 times, then sued and won.

I've never dated a co-worker.
But I’ve seen a few workplace romances. They didn’t go well. In one case, I had to fire a guy for harassing his ex at work. Another time, 2 co-workers who were just really good friends became the subject of rumor and innuendo at work. When the guy got divorced, everyone believed that the female friend “wrecked his marriage.” She was actually a really sweet person, but got a terrible reputation at work.

How big is the company?
I think that’s key. If it’s a small community — like 20 or less — then you shouldn’t try dating within it at all. If it’s a big company, then I think it’s OK.
The real question is how easy will it be to avoid her if you break up. If you’re stuck working closely together afterward, then that’s bad. If it’s a big company that you’re both in but you don’t have to have direct contact, then I think it’s OK.
Also, make sure the company doesn’t have an official policy forbidding it.

While the Giants are playing really well, the 9ers have a better defense and an actual running game.

I always used Bloom's name to find the Lounge now I guess I'll use gigs name.
and from the looks of it gigs might be the only person left who puts up lounge threads.
I'll start a new one tonight before I leave for the weekend
one thread for three days? should be plenty of space….

That should work
I doubt we’ll need one of these a day anytime soon. Maybe it’s the right time for the return of DLD’s.
the DLDs really did disappear with the advent of the Lounge
perhaps we should have DLDs for the daytime, and Lounges for the evenings?

A Seth Smith themed DLD?....why that will get at least 4 hits....which might be more than Smith will ever get.
did you know his name is actually Garry Seth Smith?
yup, I’m starting my research of useless facts now.

So Raylan Givens and Don Draper are the two coolest TV characters
I can’t come up with who should be third.
I prefer Jimmy McNulty
Or Furio from the Sopranos. Also receiving votes in my own personal poll no one else participated in: Sterling Mallory Archer, The Bunk, and Arthur Fonzarelli

This having Coke in white cans is confusing me
I keep thinking I’m grabbing a Diet Coke and it’s a real Coke…..you’d think after two blood sugar spikes that caused a heart attack I would have learned my lesson.
so, they just opened up a new fancy schmancy science building here on campus
I went over to give myself a tour, and as I’m wandering through the building, this guy is also there too, obviously also giving himself the self-guided tour. he starts asking me about which labs are going to be in there, what faculty members, which departments, etc….. I’m pretty sure he’s checking out all the places to hide out overnight so he can destroy lab experiments….

If folks want it I'll tell you what.....every Monday I'll put up a DLD in the morning.
I’ll put the first one up on the 30th.
excellent.
maybe you should call it a WLD or a MLD though, because we won’t need one daily.

That would be great.....you'd like to think AN can handle 2 DLD's a week
If you want to put one up sooner than mine on the 30th please feel free to do so. I’ll be happy to rec it and post in it.
More DVD reviews
Killer Elite….moves fast, good action scenes – 3 stars
Friends with Benefits…..2 stars for the movie…..4 stars for Mila Kunis.
Okay....screw it....I have to be me.
No new name and if I can’t be goofy I might as well just leave….I hope I’m given a little rope here as I have no desire to be banned but me just posting about baseball is of no help to anyone…..ever.
I just needed a little time to figure out how to find my place on the new AN.
I’ve had a lot of fun here for 3 years and I don’t want to give that up. If I’m out of line then folks should just tell me and I’ll stop but I hope there’s room for goofy here.
so is turkey bacon or any fake bacon product
Turkey sucks anyways unless bacon and or avocado is on it
Is that when a pig and a bird have relations?

Rob Lowe says I'll be winning Nevada this weekend.
I hope he means I’ll be winning in Nevada….
There's no crying in baseball!
never understood how Bloom handled it
and I really don’t understand people who can manage multiple game threads.
I don't even understand how one can
follow a game thread and watch the game at the same time.
I can only do game threads when I’m listening on MLB audio (which is most of the time). If the game is broadcast on TV, I can’t game thread. Or if I do try to game thread, then I end up missing the game because I’m looking at the computer screen.
Difference of opinion among my community is a sign of the bounty of God.
Back when I did game threads I'd focus more on the thread and less on the game.
But I hardly ever talk about baseball when I do threads.
Me either....but that fits with this A's team.
I’m glad 9 year olds are pumped about the team but I’ll be doing other things in 2012.
I read this as "...the septic system"

the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
it's an excellent book, but again it's now about the ballet
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
i keep a buzz cut up top, so similar issue but different reason
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
I actually thought that for real
the first time I heard about the movie. (Well, not the ballet part, because I didn’t know yet it was a ballet, but I did wonder how the heck they made a movie out of Taleb’s book.)

Since watching Justified today I've been talking with a southern accent
to keep with the theme all my posts will now be about the Civil War and Dukes of Hazzard.
But seriously, folks....
Am I the only one who liked the Dukes of Hazzard movie they made a few years ago?
Of course it should be said I watched it with the sound off and only the scenes Jessica Simpson was walking in her Daisy Dukes in.
But seriously, folks....
Catherine Bach was the one who designed the Daisy Dukes

Since we need to stretch out these lounge threads I should only post my A material.

I wasn't that worried and besides the lounge I have running in my head I'm killing it today.
