Luckily he spared us.
On the other hand I will spare you nothing.
It does explain a lot. Just sayn'

On Roseanne, didn't they name their place "The Lunch Box"?
ReplyDeleteSame thing.
That's what I look like when I'm making kasha varnishkes.
ReplyDeleteThat's Chris Farley. I bet my lunch money on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a loss, the guy was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI never "got" Farley. Belushi, sure. Candy, without a doubt. Farley's humor seemed to be about him being fat which seemed...I dunno...off to me, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI Liked Farley, but he was definitely a notch below Belushi and Candy in talent.
ReplyDeleteStill his "Chippendale" SNL sketch was hilarious as was his motivational speaker (Van down by the River).
I never got him either.
ReplyDeleteFarley was a clown. Occasionally funny, but his humor was all about his being fat. And there is something about that that is off putting.
ReplyDeleteBelushi and Candy were far more than that. Both were smart and brilliant comedians (although Belushi certainly had a big self destructive side to him and Candy was not in great health).
Madison boy, attended Marquette U in Milwaukee. Belushi attended UW-Whitewater. I was a college student at the same time was. When I saw Animal House I thought it was based on my life at that time. I was Blutarsky.
ReplyDeleteThen I grew up. But those days......
Damn shame that Farley and Belushi both died of drug overdoses. Horrible waste.
Injecting heroin and cocaine simultaneously leads to suboptimal modalities.
ReplyDeleteI'd hit that.
ReplyDeleteOh. LOL.
ReplyDeleteMy lunchbox was the Bugaboos.
Those suboptimal modalities have a way of kicking your ass.
ReplyDeleteSo althouse has posted the video I linked to in a comment the other day, the one where the pianist found the orchestra playing a concerto she hadn't planned on playing.
ReplyDeleteAnd oddly enough, she makes a big deal (in the comments) about how she loves the dutch phrase Comrade Sixty highlighted.
Just seems odd to me. Coincidence happens, but geez.
Darce--
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't happen to mean "Bugaloos", would ya?
(I remember them.)
Back Off Boogaloo
ReplyDeleteOh. Yeah, that's it, blake.
ReplyDeleteFYI: One of our attorneys here, someone I work for here and there will be on CSPAN2 shortly for a confirmation hearing for U.S. District judge.
Oh! He's on right now. Matt Leitman.
ReplyDeleteA thief caught the door behind me as I was entering the office here a couple of months ago and proceeded to steal Matt's wallet off of his desk. When I went to apologize for unwittingly letting the thief in, Matt was very gracious about it. I have an overall very good impression of him.
Cody - Probably not a coincidence. She's trying to drive page views by borrowing what she sees over here. It also happened earlier this week when one of her topics was based on something Merde said at Lem's. Just ignore it. They are desperate for attention.
ReplyDeleteI mean, when all you've got left is stalking other peoples' dogs....
Darcy, I missed that! Sounds like a nice man. You are blessed to be among such people.

ReplyDeleteYou have to admit Dutch is one funny freakin' language.
I used to work for a Dutch company and the only thing worse than their native gibberish was when they tried to speak English - that right there was some funny shit.
Cody: That's a great video of Maria João Pires, the aging but incredibly lyrical Portuguese pianist, making a great recovery to play Mozart's d minor piano concerto with no preparation. I love that woman. She and Valentina Lisitsa are on totally different ends of the classical piano spectrum, but what great musicians and personalities both. There are plenty of YouTube videos of each.
ReplyDeleteThat "Surprise! You're playing the Mozart d minor!" video has been around for quite a while. It's odd it's just starting to get widely noticed. Althouse, as admittedly tone-deaf, has no business whatsoever saying anything about non-popular music. She has NO clue. None at all. In fact, less than none.
As far as leakage from this group to la Professora, it is perfectly plain that one of the regulars here was once married to Captain Ahab before acquiring her singular bovine affect.
...and the plot thickens.
ReplyDeleteI am thawing some ground beef even as we speak.
Heh. I have fresh (more or less) in the fridge, no need for thawage.
ReplyDeleteJust a few days removed from...well, wherever ground beef is removed from these days.

ReplyDeleteThat's more intriguing than my "Titus Walks Among Us" theory.
I'm actually trying to remove ground beef from the family diet, replacing it with ground bison.
ReplyDeleteLast week (well, Friday) I had to pay a hair under 2K to fix my vehicle (it's almost 90K, it's due for some minor things that add up). Today I had to pay just shy of $800 to repair the hundred horse tractor.
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting a call about the KW any moment at this rate.
Never let other people use your equipment. Especially if you like them. It makes it harder to damage them when they break things.
Wouldn't it also be scarier, EPR?
ReplyDelete--AND--
Do you see an advantage in bison over grass fed beef?
Borrow my stuff? My tools? My truck? You have got to be kidding!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny. I know a guy who uses the KW when I'm not running it. He currently has my equipment trailer at his house as well. He's been planning to borrow my excavator for a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteBut when I needed some extended tillage done this spring...I noticed he fell very silent, despite owning a 48" pto tiller attached to his antique Massey.
As they say...noted.
So is Ol Dirty EBL and Merde stealing stuff from here or just Lem's Place?
ReplyDeleteDo you see an advantage in bison over grass fed beef?
ReplyDeleteI admire the animal more and want to see it play a bigger role in the American carnivorous diet.
If it wasn't twice the price of even grass fed beef, I'd be on board.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's cheaper over there in Paradise?
I am a big proponent of pork over grass fed beef or bison.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a dog whistle went off.
ReplyDeleteBut I lit a fire, and they've been out rummaging about in the cold so neither of them care much.
So to speak.
I never got into pig that much, Evi. Although I did have some Niman Ranch pork chops a few years ago that were really amazing.
ReplyDeleteThey keep telling me to get pigs, but I like them too much and would wind up with yet more dependents. And I provide enough sucklage to enough leeches as is.
So Darcy, how do you tell the Lawyers from the thieves?
ReplyDelete(that's a straight-line baby)
I'm waiting for Kosher Pork before I give up Beef.
ReplyDeleteThere are skid marks in front of the thieves? I'm asking...
ReplyDeleteIf they could genetically modify a pig so it didn't have cloven hooves, would that help you think?
ReplyDeleteHahaha...rc and Sixty. I plead a fifth. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Michael - I do feel blessed with this job. Most of the attorneys and staff here are warm, friendly people and for a large firm, that's pretty unusual.
Cody, If you let AllenS borrow your Kenworth he'd probably bring it back re-painted and detailed. That's how he rolls.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Darcy you never stop at a fifth.
ReplyDeleteYou go for the quart at the very least!
Otherwise how would I get all those cool picnic table photos!
Here's the thing. There might be people who are close to Meade who have access here. You know like the Crack Emcee. But what's the big deal. We are not doing anything wrong. I don't care so much if they steal content. They are talentless hacks and steal from everyone.
ReplyDeleteYou should not expect any better from the likes of those mooks.
Right now I am making meatballs with a combination of ground turkey and ground veal. It is an experiment. No beef. No pork. I don't know how it is going to go.
ReplyDeleteI am using fresh Pomi tomatoes with no salt added. I think it will be tasty.
I will keep you posted.
It's not so much content. Actually it's not the content at all. It's the forgetting, feeling comfy, and sharing something that wouldn't get shared in an open blog.
ReplyDeleteAt least for me.
Sounds delicous, Trooper.
ReplyDeleteI miss AllenS. Does he still post here?
Darcy said...
ReplyDeleteSounds delicous, Trooper.
I've watched darcy's comments and tweets for years and that's maybe the second or third spelling error I've even seen.
The time I saw that YouTube video, a particular Dutch phrase was highlighted on the video.
ReplyDeleteTroop, At this point I find the fall of Meadehouse slightly amusing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your point, Icepick?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I didn't say she plucked it from obscurity, I just said it was interesting that she loved the very same phrase Sixty mentioned.
Sixty Grit wrote... "You have to admit Dutch is one funny freakin' language."
ReplyDeleteA comment so good it had to be repeated.
Piet and Repiet.
ReplyDeleteDarcy, He does not. I've asked him to come over @ least a couple times w/ no response. Trooper has also. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteQ. Why is Althouse quoting Palladian in her latest post?
ReplyDeleteA. Ann Althouse divided cannot stand.*

Stirring the pot, Polo, stirring the pot.
ReplyDeleteDid it fall down an open manhole? If so, that's freakin' hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNice chains.
Sorry Darcy,
ReplyDeleteYou and AllenS will have to continue your illicit affair on a public blog.
Trooper runs a respectable joint.
Ugh, what did she quote, Pollo? I won't visit the site.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Ann Althouse thinks about what she and her husband did to me when she quotes my old material.
The thing is Palladian that is a lame attempt to get you to post on her site. That is how deluded she is that she thinks nothing is wrong.
ReplyDeleteDon't you remember the post where Meade rewrote a song to call back you, me and Titus when we weren't posting there for a while.
She is just an insane cunt.
@Palladian: She posted a photo couple days ago of a green pants dude--a photo which Meade used as an avatar in 2009 and asking people to guess "what it means." Nobody has satisfied her riddle (despited the obvious "it was a Meade avatar."
ReplyDeleteToday she updated the post and linked back to one of your comments from 2009:
Meade, is that really you with the green pants? Cute, I love hipsters with skinny legs.
It seems she's trying to reel you in or else there was something profound in your comment.
*shrug*
It's a taunt. That blog frequently harkens back to it's better years and it makes me a little sad.
ReplyDeleteGood catch on the misspelling, El Pollo. A more common mistake for me would be a missing word.

That is my forte. I often proofread and still don't catch missing words.
too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this month is about the same as last. So she may have bottomed out at her 2007 levels.
ReplyDeleteWay to burn the brand...
2007 was a pretty good year in the blogoverse. Chez la Professora, it was 1 B.M. (Before Meade), and the show was on per normal, all before the truth began to come out, bit by dreary bit.
ReplyDeleteIf you run a blog, you have to decide several things:
ReplyDelete1. What is the purpose? Fame? Sell stuff? Ego? Brand building? If you're in it for fame, what's the point? How many millennia do you want to spend in Purgatory for the Sin of Pride? Or worse, Vainglory? (Hint: at least half a million if it's REAL Vainglory)
2. The number and type of hits you want. Lots of unique visits? Or, do you want a loyal following? How fast do you want it all to grow?
3. Remind me again what the point is.
As a regular visitor to a site, you have to ask yourself why you want to help someone else make money? How much bad treatment do you want to put up with so that the blog proprietor can pay the dog groomer? An old friend asked those questions, mostly of herself, on Facebook the other day. They were, of course, about an entirely different blog than This Old House, but it was surprising how the issues were the same, despite radically different content.
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." That's just plain wrong, if your talking blogs instead of families.
Hmm, I am currently reading Anna Karenina.
ReplyDeleteI have had two lunch boxes during my life. I think one of them was red. They were both made of metal. Neither was embossed nor debossed with the likenesses of any celebrities.

ReplyDeleteI think there are other purposes for a blog, and I think the vast majority start out as a need to just express yourself, to talk with the assumption that someone will listen.
ReplyDeleteI supported TOP because I really enjoyed the conversation, due to the quality of the commenters, and I eventually felt comfortable, like I was with friends who were much more interesting than anyone who would talk to me in real life. I wanted that to continue, and I thought the best way to assure that was like most things - to help support it financially.
I have not been back but for one insignificant comment a couple months ago. I feel I got the bait and switch there. I paid for one thing and suddenly they took it away and started serving a far inferior fare. Then the nastiness I saw from both of them over it was a complete turn off. I'm still surprised by it.
Heh. Just got a message from my son. He's watching Lonesome Dove with his new six day old son. He was wondering if he waited too long.
ReplyDeleteApparently not.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it.
ReplyDeleteHaz, if your son is diligent he may make it through that seemingly interminable series before Haz III is old enough to ask "Daddy, what's a poke?" Maybe.
