Gina & Tony's All-Star Weekend

[papajoemambo]

"And Now, A Rant From Your Sponsor..." Dept.:I think my goal this weekend is to actually throw some stuff out. Not talk about it, not think about it, not say to myself "Wouldn't it be nice to have more room and a better idea of everything I had in here", but to actually fill at least three garbage bags of stuff that I'm tired of and just ditch it

LOL! I was going to say it sound like fun. But I suppose it does get old after 8 years and most definitely after two back to back shifts. Good luck!

[papajoemambo]

I'm getting too old for any of this crap. My tolerance has gone straight down the shitter.

Which is funny, because lostjane who has seem me be nice in public with the morons who have kept *her* late at work, could tell you that I maintain a remarkably composed veneer of civility even when I'm dealing with the stupidest of idiots. That veneer has gotten a little dinged over the years - part of the pulp under the glaze is beginning to show...

if the fella they're pointing at and calling the Comic Shop Guy from The Simpsons doesn't set fire to the block

I could set the building on fire

heh. no man, I'm sorry, I feel for you. It sounds fucking BRUTAL, and I am pissed about being woken up at odd hours by car horns. although it's not as bad as last time when I lived at harbord and manning. 0_o

but at the same time I think I'm gonna try and coral Cory into going to this thing with me, maybe tommorow, and getting drunk all day. cause that (drunk during the day) shit is FUNNY! we will visit you if we do.

also I saw the most amazing book in the book store window next to your shop. can you guess which one it is I want?

[papajoemambo]

Drunken visits make Baby Jesus happy, Miss Whistleton!!!

Please do!

[papajoemambo]

If you lived at Harbord and Manning, then you feel my pain.

Oh, and "It's... it's my stapler... you need to give me back.. my stapler..."

[papajoemambo]

Are you talking about the LUCHIDOR book they have inside?

I saw that and it screamed Blue Angel to me.

*hugs Joe to bits*

You're not the only person who has to get rid of stuff. Mumness thinks I need to ditch stuff, pronto, including clothes and, well, I'm the sort of insane mine! mine! hording type.

Street festivals ultimately suck, there was one under the old Dorm of Doom back in the day with live music. But that was just one year. *starts hugging Joe again*

Mnnn Rach-hugs feel good...

[papajoemambo]

The thing is with me is that, in reality, I'm just ditching teh deadwood in my throwing-outery. Just losing the stuff thatI have duplicated or that isn't worth hanging onto (I mean - 16 milk crates of VHS tapes? Really?>???) will make a big difference.

Besides, I have a box of stuff that's intended for you anyway. When's your B-Day again, hun-bun?

Re: Mnnn Rach-hugs feel good...

[skarygrl]

hey, do you have any fun VHS tapes that i could maybe buy off of you? I love movies and I have a VCR that I use in my apartment on campus. I don't own a dvd player, just my puter. So yeah, i have a pretty fun collection and I'm sure you could add much merriment. :)

Re: Mnnn Rach-hugs feel good...

[papajoemambo]

See, the danger of this is "When do I get them to you", but I sure as hell could use teh cash as well.

The reality is I have factory sealed VHS tapes I was meaning to send down to my god-kids and my buddy Kevin before they had a DVD player (good old school Hollywood classics like TOUCH OF EVIL and HIS GIRL FRIDAY) that I got at the used porn book store I work at when we'd gotten a clearance of them in and I could get them for, literally, close-to-free. I can make a list if you like, Jennie - Shit I have stuff I bootlegged on thematicly related VHS tapes that I was just gonna pitch. They're all yours if you want em, hun.

This provides you with an excuse for a road trip, you know... I also know they're going to someone who appreciates the odd.

Be glad you don't live in England. They've just scored. I am supporting the opposing teams on principle.

[papajoemambo]

If we had an indiginous World Cup team this wouldn't be a problem. The problem arises when its the Jets versus The Sharks in jingoisticly oriented "Who Can Keep The Most People Awake" horn-blasting pissing matches at 3 AM.

This is why I'm sensitive to "Ground Zero Portugal"

[shadowkitty]

Heh. I grew up in Luton. Third in England's 'hooligan league' when I was a kid. Fun times, dodging bottles.

And the bastards have just scored again. Aaargh!

[papajoemambo]

See - your hooligan smake these guys look lik ethe little patty-cake playing wanna bes they are . This is part of what makes them so FUCKING annoying.

They offend my inner Irishman's racial memory...

[skarygrl]

ummmm, i think you should drink heavily and launch water balloons out of a giant slingshot on the roof.

And that, my friend, is what I do in college. :)

[papajoemambo]

I was always too good a kid for my own good back then.

My College nickname was "Turd Grimsby". It's a long story.

[skarygrl]

HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

no seriously, that's fucking fantastic! (pardon my cursing, but it's too good!)

There are worse nicknames, I promise. There's a kid around here that we call "GUH."

[papajoemambo]

Yo ulearn to live with a College Nickname - I mean, what choice do you have.

I got off lightly - they knew I was a sensitive lil flower of a Theatre Major...
