Tracy Jordan: "I'm gonna make you a mixtape. You like Phil Collins?"

Jack Donaghy: "I've got two ears and a heart, don't I?"

_J_ said...

Oh, those posts I made.

Man, out of context I sound like an idiot.

Mike Lewis said...

@ros: both please

Caleb said...

J, do you use an itunes since you own an ipod?

_J_ said...

Yes. iTunes is very good at doing what iTunes does, in the same way that AIDS is very good at doing what AIDS does.

If you want AIDS? Man, nothing beats AIDS.

If you want to organize your mp3s and listen to them? For the love of fuck don't go out and get AIDS and then that will allow you to listen to mp3s.

It'll just destroy your immune system.

Sorkin is doing Yoshimi?

I don't know how to feel about this.

I mean.. reason fails me.

Caleb said...

I have complete confidence in the Flaming Lips, and Aaron Sorkin.

Unknown said...

So that Guster shindig is in one week. I would like to have tickets soon. Is anyone else going?

Roscoe said...

Grr! Arrg!


So badly WANT to go. SO TERRIBLY recognize that I ought not.

_J_ said...

I really fucking want to go but my assumption, upon further reflection, is that it would not behoove me to do so.

Grr
Arg

Andrew said...

WHY IS IT ON A WEEKNIGHT??????????

Mike Lewis said...

andy why are they not playing in chicago?!?!

_J_ said...

It is mostly god hating us.

Ireally fucking want to go. I really fucking ought not go.

Mike Lewis said...

Someone explain this card to me.

Unknown said...

It is a planeswalker. It is essentially a creature that acts like a player. He comes into play with 3 tokens on him. They act as his health. He can do any one of the abilities on his card each turn and he gains/loses as many tokens as stated. Creatures can attack planeswalkers as if they were players and can be defended in the same manner. Does that make sense?

Mike Lewis said...

yeah - i am kinda blown away that it can untap land for free

Unknown said...

It's free, but limited, in that you can only do it once a turn. And planeswalkers are extremely vulnerable.

Roscoe said...

HELLA vulnerable, considering he comes into play with the equivalent of 3 life.

Yeah, the untappery nets him another point each turn, but.. if you're using that mana each turn, you're burning out your hand of tricks to protect him as well.

Unknown said...

He does however have a ton of worth in a green/blue deck allowing one to spend their available mana, then untap it and some ready for a counter at any time. You don't always have to spend mana for it to be effective
