Oh dear. I'm sorry for your loss, Matt.

I'm close to tears myself. Thank you for linking that.

Re: Pepsi Commercial

Jason — Mon, 08 May 2006 21:54:51 -0000

That was pretty cute. The ending, especially, with the quick, "Huh?... eh," reaction was funnily absurd.

Re: Advice for Recent Arrivals: Dos & Don’ts & More Don’ts for Gay Boy Refugees

Nice. I didn't agree with all of it, but nice.

Worf: Ask him why? How sentimental.
I say give him problems dental.

Bahahahahahaha!

Woohoo! I finished paying mine off over the last year or so. Feels good, yeah?

OMG, ace, Dan's one of the sweetest guys in the weblogging continuum, you should've said hello. You could've totally walked up and said hey. :)

Hooray! Happy Hit-or-Miss Day!

Re: three-part messages

Jason — Fri, 19 May 2006 21:14:53 -0000

I've always liked that method of starting dialogues in problematic situations. But tangentally: did you read some of the comments being posted to that LJ post? It's like.... people can't put this in the appropriate context. I'm not going to use this method unless there's a rationale for it. I'm not going to use it on, say, someone I have no connection to that I come across on the street. "Hello, fellow pedestrian. When you continually push the Walk button like that, it makes me feel agitated, because it creates a sense of impatience in me." What? No! God. The original poster offers the explanation that she's trying not to talk down to people by having to explain what she thinks (as I do) what should be obvious, but apparently she DOES because LJ is a crazy vast expanse of people who need their hands held. ...I'm going to stop there, I'm starting to sound like an LJ post. :(

I totally slept through it, as I suspect I always do.

Re: prologue to a dream

YES. Congrats! You got it!

Re: iPod Touch

Hopefully you can get one for your birthday? :) (Happy birthday!!)

Re: Tap, tap… anyone still here?

Jason — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:00:39 -0000

Me too! I think I'm going to be reading until one of us dies.

Also, incidentally, I just recently posted this image, from a certain roll of film shot in 2005 that I only recently developed when I got it out of a camera that may or may not have been broken.

Re: Tap, tap… anyone still here?

Jason — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:01:57 -0000

And wait, they try to school you? Oh har har. I mean, I get where they're coming from, but yeah, freaking school them back. :)

Re: No Bingo!

Jason — Sun, 20 May 2007 01:01:08 -0000

I always thought that bingo would be too kitsch for my taste, but the first time I went in Chicago, I loved it. Having it hosted by charity drag nuns here in SF is even better. :)

Fantastic. :)

Re: symptomatic

Jason — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:13:03 -0000

Oh, man, that's really cool that you've figured out the source of the problem. It'll be a weird switch, I'm sure, but a little more research and you'll find tons of things you can still eat, I'm sure, as there are ___-free variants of food all over the place these days.

Re: symptomatic

Jason — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:13:55 -0000

...Also, you just changed the template between me loading this entry, and me posting this entry. "WHOA WHAT WITH THE PAGE" moment. :)

Re: grateful for games

Jason — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:53:16 -0000

Ooh, I'm interested to hear what you thought of the new Changeling. :)

Re: on real jobs

Jason — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:32:30 -0000

I'm late to the comments as usual.

What. The fuck. Was he on.

Goddammit, this city is a lie.

Re: Justin.tv: Watching Asian Guys Get Laid

“Damn. No one has cared this much about an Asian guy getting laid since… well… ever.”

Right? RIGHT?!

I'm thinking you mean a different jelly doughnut than, say... the rapping one.

Hell yeah.

Oh SNAP I'm on the Flickr blog.... making the fake O-face with cotton candy, of all things. GRAND. :)

Re: http://laughingsquid.com/revenge-of-the-geek-camps/

Jason — Wed, 12 Oct 2005 14:21:02 -0000

My vote is fore GoatseCamp, just to see what kind of Flickr photo sets that generates. And the tag battles! That'd be something.

Re: http://laughingsquid.com/splogs/

Jason — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 14:19:41 -0000

This may not be a new thing; I found a weird weblog that sounds like it could have been a splog over a year ago, with a design ripped off from another (real) weblog. I emailed the owner of the latter to tell him of the former, but I hadn't thought anything of the implications of such a fake weblog. Since it was the only one I had run across, maybe it was a test or a failed experiment?

Re: First Goatse

Jason — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:58:17 -0000

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's classic.

Okay, that's kinda clever. Hee!

Re: Don & Tracy’s Pirate Ship Halloween Party

Jason — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:05:00 -0000

Dammit, ever since I moved to SF, I've missed all the cool Halloween shit! Instead this year I got to hear a shooting and almost was in the path of the fleeing crowd. :(

Re: Layover at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport | Laughing Squid

Jason — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:19:45 -0000

Turns out Kansas City International also has free wifi. Found that out recently when coming back from Thanksgiving.

Re: Adventure | Laughing Squid

Jason — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:38:47 -0000

Adventure was neat. I admit to being scared as a little kid of the dragon-ducks. Them and the dragon on Tic-Tac-Dough. I had a dragon-filled childhood.

Re: SFZero: The Sweet Cheat Gone | Laughing Squid

Jason — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 01:46:19 -0000

This is coming way after the fact, but I have to say I had a great time. The SF0 trio and their helpers really know how to run a fun event.

Re: Laughing Squid Illustration by Hugh D’Andrade | Laughing Squid

Jason — Tue, 01 May 2007 15:18:33 -0000

That's dope. Though the tikisquid's human eyeballs are freaking me out a little.

Re: Make A Wish Or I’ll Blow You Away | Laughing Squid

Jason — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:52:15 -0000

I'm strangely pleased at the idea that someone got a piece of cake with Chuck Norris' crotch on it.

Re: Bacn, Email That Is Not Spam or Personal Email | Laughing Squid

Jason — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:55:36 -0000

Yeah, I have to agree with Chris D, if not as vehemently. Do we really need a name for everything?

Re: Doorhenge, A Strange Monument in Golden Gate Park | Laughing Squid

Jason — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:06:03 -0000

Yes. You win. You're smarter. Us Americans like shorter, easier-to-relate-to-the-spoofed-landmark names. Maybe.

Regardless of etymology, I understand they got a lot of points for it.

Hey, it's a hipster LARP.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Re: 10 Awesome Things About Dungeons & Dragons

Jason — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:08:21 -0000

The original AD&D? Wasn't there something about becoming a bard that made it totally not worth it? Like having to be a fighter for a few levels, then a thief for a few levels without using your fighter skills, and then you could be a bard if you passed a standardized bard test or something? Neither me or anyone I ever played with ever attempted that bard path, and I've never had anyone start telling me about their D&D character unsolicited by starting with "So I did all the work to become a bard," either.

Re: 10 Awesome Things About Dungeons & Dragons

Jason — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:26:45 -0000

Now that I think about it, I remember when my older brother would DM back in the early 80s, and someone had a magic sword named Zaxxon which could cast spells like "Flying Fluorescent Mace Head" and "Invisible Stampeding Herd of Buffalo."

It wasn't exactly a rules-heavy game, no. Pre-teens for the win.

Re: Mission Bazaar, A Unique Craft & Performance Expo at The Armory

Jason — Fri, 16 May 2008 19:55:02 -0000

Vowel Movement is playing? I'm going to guess this isn't the same one as Johnette Napolitano's side project from the 90s.

Re: Video from GETV Turns 1000

Jason — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 20:58:15 -0000

Team "Kick Ted's Ass" was made up of Jake Appelbaum and someone else. I didn't know the other guy.

Re: Good Ol’ Rock. Nothing Beats Rock.

Jason — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 23:08:33 -0000

I'm pretty sure that, had I gone, I would've flashbacked to my misspent college days of Vampire LARPing. Gah.

Re: Luggage Update

Jason — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 18:25:42 -0000

So fucked up. This doesn't make me feel particularly confident about the travelling I'll be doing in the near future.

Re: A Monopoly on Monopoly Rules

Jason — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 18:55:18 -0000

I've never heard of the 400-land-on-Go rule, but the tax pot I've seen in the Midwest. If I remembered right, that came from someone else's family, since mine never played with that rule. (In fact, I don't think we had any house rules for Monopoly at all.)

Re: To the Parent Sitting Behind Me

Jason — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 12:46:17 -0000

Holy fuck.

That's when you go to the bathroom, even if you don't have to go to the bathroom. And then you think of your happy place.

Re: New Zealand: Travel Log

So excellent.

Re: Rhymes with Kevin

Jason — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:08:55 -0000

When you had said that aloud, when you had received the text, I bit my tongue about... you know. Certain songs.

Re: History of Video Games 1972-2007

Jason — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 22:59:42 -0000

Ha! I haven't tallied what games I've played to get a count yet, but Doc, Game Theory sounds totally up my alley and I'm going to try and make it out for it.

Re: I Am Large

Jason — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:39:17 -0000

This was definitely one of my favorites.

Re: Gutter Cat

Jason — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:14:17 -0000

I've seen a couple person/cat combos like this in SF. Not *this guy* specifically but other folks and cats.

Re: Bass! How low can you go?

Jason — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:15:37 -0000

Huh. I was there and saw her up there. This was at the How Weird street festival in SF last weekend. This is the first I've noticed that it was a Bass/Ass knob, though.
