Spaghetti [chat]

Sure, Spaghetti Cat is a month old at this point. It is the joke that keeps on giving. Also, I couldn't think of a funny GRE related joke and Jay is to drunk the post the new chat thread.

I am taking the GREs for the third time on monday. It fills me with dread and hate. But it is something i need to do before i reapply to PhD programs in november. boo stupid tests

I'll show you whose doo trunk!

Also, it's quite weird that Hurricane Ike is still something of a Hurricane yet it's in the Midwest. It's weird to think that by tomorrow morning Ike will be here beating the crap out of me.

Now I know what it's like to be Tina Turner.

BA-ZING!

You've never noticed before that we always get the left overs of the hurricane's that touch down on in the gulf?

_J_ said...

They never looked this hurricany before as I remember them. It would always just sort of rain.

But this time it was an actual mini hurricane moving through the midwest.

Sifl&Olly - Squirrel Zapper

I think there is a large degree to which Sifl and Olly encapsulate the human experience.

I remember reading in maybe Art of Star Wars some guy's musings about the rancor. He wondered if maybe the monster in Jabba's palace was a singularity, and although the EU shit has shittily revealed this to not be the case, the rancor is at least something of a rarity.

Except in the video games. Everyone's got a rancor. Eventually every planet is going to collapse because they've all been dug out to make rancor pits. I bet there's a guy in a 400th floor apartment on Coruscant with a rancor living in the apartment below. And that rancor has a rancor.

_J_ said...

And that Rancor is riding a Dewback.

McCain even with Obama:

"With 53 days until Election Day, John McCain has pulled even with Barack Obama in the latest NEWSWEEK Poll. Buoyed by the Republican convention and overwhelming partisan enthusiasm for his choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain is now tied with Obama among registered voters nationwide, 46 percent to 46 percent."

Yeah...

Mike Lewis said...

Verbal: 510 (up from 410)
Quantitative: 410 (same as last two times)

also, got two good writing prompts for the analytic writing, so i think that score ought to go up as well.

_J_ said...

Sweet! Per the GRE I am still more worthy of life than you!

bwahahahahahah!

Nice job taking verbal up 100.

Fuck the GRE.

Madeleine Albright is making some stops in Indiana friday speaking in Indy and Bloomington.

_J_ said...

Is she confused and disoriented?

Mike Lewis said...

i would guess not. obama still thinks he can win or make things very uncomfortable (eg. back of a VW) for mccain.

Unknown said...

According to Gallup Indiana is still too close to call, even after the Palin nomination. So I don't see any reason for her not to come through. But of all the place to campaign in Indiana, Indianapolis and Bloomington seem to be the least productive, as I can assure you they are both already leaning in Obama's favor. Ft Wayne and Evansville would be much more productive.

Mike Lewis said...

i've posted this a few times. But the basic arguemnent is that.

As for current polls, the last major poll of indiana voters was on 8/7 and had mccain up by 5%.

unless you have a new poll...

Unknown said...

the last one i saw on cnn had mccain up by 3 point with a +/- 3% margin of error

Andrew said...

I hate Ike.
Still no power... and my car got scratched to hell by a limb that fell on it.

MA17 said...

Madeline Albright is a huge Atomic Age Cinema fan.

_J_ said...

"I hate Ike.
Still no power... and my car got scratched to hell by a limb that fell on it.
"

Now you know how Tina Turner feels.

BADUM-TISH

Andrew said...

scratched and powerless

Mike Lewis said...

wow, that joke wasnt funny the last 2 times you told it.

_J_ said...

I contend that it gets progressively funnier with each telling.

Mike Lewis said...

you can contend all you want, but it does not make it true. Why?

1) Wikipedia said so
2) I had Gallup do a poll of 300 people like to hear Jay make a joke. They said 70-30 that the joke was not funny. Of the 30% who thought the joke was funny, 90% thought that it was funny the first time because they did not get the joke.

The other 10% are on death row for beating their wives the death.

_J_ said...

I wish I could afford Gallup polls. :(

Unknown said...

See now that is a funny joke.

Unknown said...

I like the fact that Gallup included at least 9 individuals of their survey pool on Death Row.

Mike Lewis said...

not only 9 people. 9 people likely to hear jay tell a joke.

the real question is why is say jay hanging out on death row?

Mike Lewis said...

gallup polls are cheap and have a high margin of error.

_J_ said...

I think this is my favorite episode of Family Guy.

Favorite.

So sometimes I think of something that could make for a neat tshirt. First, an SNES controller with the words SUPER ROOTS below to finally upgrade those NES controller shirts. Second, a PSX controller with the words WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING, ASSHOLE to put children in their respective places. Third, EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN LOW-RES.

Then there was some pun about Xbox needs-fix'dy, but that might not meet the exceedingly high standards held by professional tshirt slogan writers. Especially not the ones that just put a catch phrase from a movie or tv show on a shirt. Those guys are killers.
