Mary Jane's Last Dance (Shawn, dignity)
[21:00] * RWHell 's depths emit a sudden roar as it expels the Big Pink Phonebook for being too tall to fit on my bookshelves. (stayed in Hell for 25 days)
[21:01] <jld> Indeed. It is still sideways. And I still have that box of magazines I haven't shelved.
[21:10] <JDC> big pink phonebook? because it's gay, or just the telco wanted it that way?
[21:29] <jld> A not-very-attested epithet for Arban's Complete Conservatory Method For Trumpet.
[21:29] <JDC> Ah
[21:29] <JDC> Because who needs touchtone phones, you can dial using your trumpet?
[21:30] <Kortney> If that worked, I would take up trumpet in a heartbeat. :)
[21:30] <jld> It looked more like a phonebook before I took it to a copy shop and had the binding replaced by a thing that lets it lie flat on a music stand.
[21:31] <jld> Also, you'd need two trumpets to dial a phone.
[21:31] <Kortney> True. Oh well, duets!

[18:36] <Azz> Apply spices, heat
[18:36] <silverflight8> I think my brain would benefit from spices
[18:36] <Azz> Mmm, spicy braaains
[18:36] <exor674> I thought brains were already spicy
[18:36] <ghoti14> only when pickled
[18:37] <silverflight8> then: thecatwasnotspicy
[18:37] <silverflight8> there, I've satisfied the inner grammar nerd
[18:38] <thecatwasnot> there you go
[18:38] * Azz usually fills in with 'there'
[18:39] <Azz> and now I am reminded of one of my aunt's battles with a guide dog puppy.
[18:39] <thecatwasnot> hmmm, usually true!
[18:39] <silverflight8> ooh, tell!
[18:39] <Azz> The puppy had decided that chewing toilet paper was just awesome.
[18:40] <Azz> My aunt decided that she'd had enough of this nonsense, and it was a bad habit for a guide dog puppy to get into, so she put hot pepper on a roll.
[18:40] <silverflight8> ! did it work?
[18:40] <ghoti14> who used it?
[18:41] <Azz> I believe it did work.
[18:41] <silverflight8> wouldn't it contaminate the layers under it? *g*
[18:41] <Azz> Happily, there were no spiced-family-member incidents, but there was certainly the potential for such.
[18:41] <silverflight8> ;)
[18:50] <exor674> bit, beef in tastysauce or pork in tastysauce/
[18:50] <Fig-Bit> Jenny has your number. (Or, pick beef in tastysauce.)
[18:51] <jld> ...oh right. The reason it is almost 7 is because the dental appointment ran *way* long. Well, there go the original plans for the evening.
[18:51] <jld> Bit, get plastered at a bar later?
[18:51] <Fig-Bit> YES
[18:51] <jld> O_o
[18:52] * jld is not sure he can actually be bothered.
[18:52] <Azz> bit, will the bars be crawling with idiots of the sort I don't want to deal with?
[18:52] <Fig-Bit> NO
[18:52] <Azz> o rly.
[18:52] <silverflight8> bit is surprisingly happy today
[18:53] <crschmidt> Or at least optimistic.
[18:53] <crschmidt> bit, Does every cloud have a silver lining?
[18:53] <Fig-Bit> YES
[18:53] <silverflight8> bit, are you an optimist?
[18:53] <Fig-Bit> NO
[18:53] <silverflight8> well then
[18:53] <crschmidt> bit, Are you a realist?
[18:53] <Fig-Bit> YES
[18:54] <silverflight8> bit, are you contradictory?
[18:54] <Fig-Bit> NO
[18:54] <silverflight8> pfft

[18:55] * RWHell 's depths emit a sudden roar as it expels jetblue and their new flash-only checkin widget with extreme prejudice. (stayed in Hell for 14 days)
[18:55] <silverflight8> with extreme prejudice, even! :)
[18:55] <Azz> oh, where was that thing I saw
[18:56] <jld> JetBlue what now? Ew.
[18:56] <Azz> http://walyou.com/no-flash-support-iphone-ipad/
[18:57] <silverflight8> oh great
[18:58] <Azz> [for those without images: "Not all pictures work well on different platforms. For example, this image of Alex Ross' Justice League looks fine on my Google Android phone:" and the superhero lineup: Green Lantern, Flash, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and two burly dudes I don't recognize, one of whom is green
[18:59] <Azz> "But it doesn't have the same 'feel' on my iPhone and iPad." Green Lantern, the little lego block with question marks that illustrates a missing plugin, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the same two burly dudes. ]
[19:00] <jld> Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter, I believe.
[19:00] <Azz> ... oh dear. My brain just tried to earworm me based on 'Aquaman' but couldn't find the song it meant.
[19:00] <Azz> I'm not sure whether that's a win or a lose.
[19:00] <Azz> (Except for the game, which V_PauAmma_V just lost.)
[19:01] <jld> My brain did earworm me based on "Aquaman".
[19:01] <Azz> What song was it?
[19:01] <jld> With something I probably haven't heard since my VH-1-watching days back in the '90s.
[19:01] <jld> And if you like sushi because it's never touched a frying pan, you may have the same earworm.
[19:01] <Azz> That is exactly what it meant.
[19:01] <Azz> In fact.
[19:02] <silverflight8> azz: that's a win, of course.
[19:02] <jld> ...my attempt to play it forward to get to the title lyric is not quite working.
[19:02] <silverflight8> one should strive to be not-earwormed lest one fall into an unbreakable loop
[19:02] <Azz> Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes, big like LeeAnn Rimes
[19:02] <crschmidt> because it's all about value?
[19:03] <jld> Well, if I'm randomly earwormed, at least I have company.
[19:03] <crschmidt> all about the value*, apparently
[19:03] <Azz> And I don't have any vanilla ice cream.
[19:03] <Azz> Tonight is clearly going perfectly!
[19:03] <ghoti14> i hate you all :P
[19:04] <jld> \o/
[19:04] <jld> Also, Things That Are Not The Same: never touched a frying pan, never touched a blind man.
[19:04] <jld> I am pretty sure I mondegreened it thus, back in the day.
[19:04] <Azz> (couldn't make it as a poor man stealing, either.)
[19:04] <ghoti14> my (unpickled) brain wanted to sleep tonight!
[19:05] <silverflight8> I'm glad it's unpickled
[19:05] <Azz> (hey xb95, now is where you should come in to defend Nickelback.)
[19:05] <jld> Oh wow 2004.
[19:06] * Azz bad touches JDC on general principel
[19:06] <Azz> principle, even
[19:06] <jld> (Which may not have been when that was on the charts, but when I spent enough time earwormed by it to form associations.)
[19:07] * Azz cues up the Bloodhound Gang because it is mandatory for me to do so when I am earwormed with it

[19:08] <jld> Now, what shall I use to scour the Barenaked Ladies from my head?
[19:08] <jld> Bit, use the horrifying vocoder-ed George Michael cover of New Order's _True Faith_?
[19:08] <Fig-Bit> NO
[19:08] <jld> Bit is wise.
[19:09] <jld> (This is actually a thing. I can link to it if people hate themselves enough.)
[19:09] <ghoti14> word of advice: don't eat the green shoots coming out of the head of garlic. they taste just like raw garlic.
[19:10] <Azz> I am now building a playlist entitled "1998 called and wanted its earworms back". I blame jld. And #dreamwidth.
[19:10] <silverflight8> ghoti14: are you by any chance "ghoti" on dw?
[19:11] <ghoti14> i is!
[19:11] <silverflight8> :) I love your journal layout, jsyk
[19:11] <ghoti14> it's totally one of the options. and it just ... matched ;-)
[19:12] <silverflight8> :D
[19:12] <jld> Ah, the late '90s. When something was something, and aforementioned VH-1 bleeped the word "toke". Multiple times.
[19:12] <silverflight8> does the word "toke" even exist?
[19:13] <ghoti14> i'm a joker, i'm a toker, i'm a midnight smoker?
[19:13] <ghoti14> wait, no, switch that, try again
[19:13] <Azz> One more time to kill the pain.
[19:14] <Azz> (hey everybody, let's play free-association with 90s songs!)
[19:14] <silverflight8> I don't know many 90's songs :(
[19:14] <silverflight8> I will free-associate random music history songs, though
[19:14] <Azz> yay!
[19:15] <ghoti14> but ... again and pain don't rhyme!
[19:15] <silverflight8> it does if you have the right accent!
[19:15] <ghoti14> plbth
[19:15] <allbery_b> poetic license. I've certainly heard it with a long "a" in poetry and song
[19:16] <jld> With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.
[19:16] <Azz> (so my high school best friend, the one who tried to build an "air taser" at school, acquired a little tape recorder.)
[19:17] <Azz> (Of the sort that will happily double-speed. Among other shenanigans, he wound up with music on it. So any and all mentions of Mary Jane's Last Dance include Shawn warbling along to the song ... at double speed, falsetto.)
[19:17] <jld> *facepalm*
[19:18] <Azz> Shawn: excellent at that 'dignity' thing
[19:18] <silverflight8> azz: I admire your ability to accurately close all your parentheses
