Koop = Resident DRC man-whore.

Dude it would be cool to fuck a Rockstar. Everyone knows that. It's like everyone's dream.

I don't really care about the logistics as long as I walk away being able to say I fucked a rockstar.

So lay out the towels and get the lube ready Sad.

(Just no one tell Pam and when she sees this post my account has obviously been hacked.)

Oh can I tell you guys a story real quick about rock stars?

So I might get some of the details wrong because this isn't my story. But Pam was at a blues traveler show in VA Beach or somewhere when she was younger. I don't know how long ago but at the end of the show John Popper legit handed her his harmonica. He didn't like throw it into the crowd. He handed it to her specifically.

So Pam had an actual shot at banging John Popper, all she had to do was go for it. I'm not sure if it was fat popper or deflated popper but either way it was popper and he's kind of a big deal. I'm pretty sure she still has the harmonica somewhere.

She's a proper lady so of course she never went through with it. But it's a pretty cool story.

And now every time blues traveler comes on in the car, I make a point to mention that we're listening to her famous boyfriend.

Fuck dude, you did it again.

Thanks! I really appreciate it

What instrument do you play again?

Guitar. I wrote all of the riffs. Most of the lyrics of "Obituary" and the basic beats of "Antihero".

would you call the genre? Metal hard rock mix?

Yeah that works. I've seen it called nu-metal (but we don't really fit that label tho) and post-grunge (weird title to me). I just call it "heavy rock". But it's heavier than hard rock, but die-hard metalheads wouldn't say it's metal (though I've also called it 'radio metal').

Wouldn't you like to do a popper too?

I'm pretty sure she still has the harmonica somewhere.

Damn that's pretty cool. But I guess she gave him the runaround. It ain't sure fire way to speed things up when all it does is slow him down!

 

[JHDK]

I guess she gave him the runaround.

He lied and told her he loved her. He didn't care but anyway.

This year, I've had several doctor office visits, where - for the first time - I'm seeing what the doctor, nurse, assistant, and office staff look like without masks. I pretty much don't have any care providers (other than my therapist) which I've known for more than 3 years; so up until now, I've just been seeing their eyes, the top of their nose, and the top half of their head. Now I'm seeing their entire face, which is kind of weird, since I've already been dealing with them for some time.

There are definitely a couple of female providers that I suspected were hotter looking, when I was only able to see them with a mask on.

Butter lower-face? Everything's hot but her lower-face?

I forget who said it, but some big stand-up comedian said Covid was a big moment for ugly girls with nice eyes.

Thats false advertising!

Lyrics:
Hey wait a minute
Who do you think you are
Comin' on, comin' on
Like you're some kinda movie star
Wearing twelve hundred dollars
D'ecollet'e
You looked a whole lot better to me
From twenty feet away
You're just a three dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A three dressed up as a 9, hey yeah
(All dressed up but you're only a three, a three dressed up as a 9)
Socially
You know you fit in just right
But as for me
I'm gonna have to pass tonight
Well you can say what you like
Be what you wanna be
You can suit yourself, baby
But you don't suit me
You're just a three dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A three dressed up as a 9, hey yeah
(All dressed up but you're only a three, a three dressed up as a 9)
Hey wait a minute
Who do you think you are
Comin' on, comin' on
Just like you're some kinda movie star
Well you can say what you like
Be what you wanna be
You can suit yourself baby
But you don't suit me
You're just a three dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A three dressed up as a 9, hey yeah

Are people really so stupid that manufacturers have to include idiotic warnings with almost every product? Today I bought some ink cartridges for my HP printer. They came with this warning: "Do not drink or place in mouth. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. Safety Data Sheet available on request." The warning is also printed in French, Spanish and Portuguese.

A post on the Inkjets blog says if printer ink was sold by the gallon, it would cost (depending on the brand and the color) anywhere from $2,000 to $12,000! Yikes! And people think gasoline is expensive?

 

[HecticArt]

It wouldn’t be a problem if HP didn’t market them as “Minty-Fresh Ink Cartridges” or sell them next to the Tide-Pods.

In today's mail I got a notice from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. I can use the postage-paid card to request a ballot in my "preferred language": Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Khmer, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Farsi, Thai, Mongolian, Armenian, Telugu or Burmese. Or......."To continue receiving your ballot and election materials in English, no action is needed."

I feel sorry for the Los Angeles County residents who speak Xhosa, Gaguaz, Sarsi, Basque, Belarusian, Friulian, Judezmo, Yiddish, Pirahã or Q'egchi'. I guess if they want to vote they will have to learn English.

So is the notice in all those languages?

 

[Channel98]

The notice is in English but includes a "language request form" with instructions in each of those 18 languages, e.g., "Por favor, marque el idioma de su preferencia en la solicitud adjunta y enviela por correo" and "Markahan ang nais mong wika sa nakalakip na aplikayson at ihulog ito sa koreo." The Registrar-Recorder's website explains the mind-numbingly moronic multilingual mess:

"In 2006, federal legislation passed extending the minority language provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965. Any county with more than 10,000 residents whose native language is not English and who indicated on their U.S. Census form a lack of proficiency in English is required to provide election materials in the identified languages. A language is considered to be covered by the VRA as mandatory for the County's translated election materials if more than 5% of the citizens of voting age are members of a single language minority and are limited English proficient or more than 10,000 of the citizens of voting age are members of a single language minority and are limited English proficient."

Another reason you should move to Maine.

 

[Channel98]

Here in California, we vote "yes" or "no" on ballot measures. In Maine, they vote "ayuh" or "nah."
