chatter time

Oh, I wasn't laughing about the use of the first name--heck, my dad's name is Mike. What I was laughing about is Kurt's succinct and subtle way of making his point.

Fuck off Mike Beck

Sorry guys, but I had plans with Stefan and some other folks for this same weekend last year....and dumbass went and fell off Mount Temple and got to ride in the chopper and all that. Then he had some weak excuse about being in the hospital or whatever so we ended up not going. So now that he's ambulatory, we are going to give it a go. I kinda had this weekend planned since last year, so even if I hadn't been uninvited, I wouldn't have been able to make it. Plus no offense to the rowdy drunks, but my SO is leaving on a longish business trip a few days later, and a quiet weekend with some friends and some slackish peak bagging is probably more the ticket than getting smashed and throwing chairs. Have fun you guys, and I promise I'll make one of these things one of these days. Then the allegation that I don't climb will be replaced with the truth: I do, and badly.

Turning the phone off doesn't make it stop ringing?

We work real hard and then we leave. That's how it works where I work.

I just got yet another angry PM from Mike Beck. According to him this event will or is listed in the P-I. Awesome, dude, I'm sure that's just what everyone wanted!

I heard this event was only for "dirtbags". Maybe that's why I was asked not to attend by one of the event's organizers. I have a job, take showers, and don't get drunk in my office in the middle of the day.

Turn them off. If someone asks you how their phone got turned off, nicely tell them that you did it, as they must have left it on "by accident." They will get the idea, and you won't have to listen to their damn phones ring all day.

I pretty much hung up on one of my closest friends the other day. He is a conservative, bless his poor heart, but the clincher is that he insists that what they do on Fox news is, as they say, "fair and balanced" and represents an unbiased view on the news. He then chastised for me for listening to NPR, as "you cannot get the news without seeing the pictures" and gave me a hard time for not being a responsible citizen in getting all of the news sources available--and the key thing he feels I am missing is the news that is on cable television.

Oh, shoot I missed something on TV again. Thank GOD he had a good excuse for THAT nonsense, as well as saying he didn't want to talk about the groping of the women. They were all for sure just glad to get groped by such a famous guy. Who wouldn't want that? I'm sure he will make a super governor for California!

I don't think it will take that long. Remember it is the same legislature, just a new governor.

Going there now!

Oh, sorry I guess I missed the part when Bill Clinton said he admired Hitler. My bad!

All hail Der GropenFuhrer.

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU THROUGH THE DIN AROUND HERE!

Sounds like allison should practice what she preaches. I do, Rob. I don't make sexually charged remarks on the Internet.

Ugh, perhaps you two could take that to PM. Blech.

"Yo" how about you mind your own business!

There you go, fellas. Have at it.

That's rich coming from someone who recently posted a Photoshopped image of me spanking a male stripper. WHICH by the way was not pulled because of any request made by me---someone else must have found it, er, inappropriate. I know it was meant to be funny but I was a little shocked by the picture.

Beck, you obviously know nothing about me. Now shut up.

Actually I have reeled it in because my sarcasm and venom is often met with personal attacks and cheap remarks about my alleged promiscuity. Those sorts of things make me a little uncomfortable, and even untrue, I don't like seeing that sort of thing, so since I didn't see that sort of response going away/getting edited/getting people banned, I've had to scale back on it. There was never any risk of me getting banned. The name change had to do with the sexual remarks that were made about me. I found it embarassing, and needed to distance myself from it with a name change. I didn't want to lose my identity here entirely though, so I kept some stuff, like my avatar picture. Making derogatory remarks about a woman's sexuality and/or promiscuity is a cheap and unimaginative way to put them down, and one a lot of women aren't too fond of, me included. Seriously.

Actually I was loading out another show here in Seattle, and there were people there who had friends who work on that show. I don't watch a lot of TV, so I didn't realize that it had been reported that the folks who work on the show probably were going to lose their jobs.

Get over yourself. You are not the only person to ever attend a public meeting on stewardship issues.
