Random Music Talk LXXX: Sordid Details of the GAF-Mark Buehrle Affair

[IWasBored]

I get 8.93 hours of pto every two weeks my housemate, since he's been there a hell of a lot longer than I have, gets almost 14 I believe...

 

[bono_212]

I don't get a upgrade until I've been here two years, so I'm sitting at 1.52 hours per week.

So, basically, it's going to take over a month to make up for today :-(

So how early is too early to hit the airport bar? It's 6:35 AM here.

 

[u2popmofo]

Where are you going?

Rehab?

 

[Danny Boy]

Rehab?

No, no, no.

Spoiler

Nashville

 

[u2popmofo]

To record a country album?

I thought I would catch Die Fledermaus at the Opry.

 

[u2popmofo]

No wonder you're wanting to get drunk before 7am then.

Heyo!

JK

Lolz

Its gotta be happy hour somewhere...

Sounds fine to me. Airports are bloody depressing.

Just got a full body scan. Hope they liked what they saw.

Just tried out some Sol (Michael Phelps) headphones at a kiosk. Bass is way too boomy. My $20 Nakamichis honestly sound better.

Woke up this morning to this reply on Twitter from some extreme far-right loser with too much time on his hands.

You just don't get this kind of hilarity on Facebook.

I like airports.

The Sydney airport subjected me to every type of search and test they had available once. I actually was briefly detained with a group of Arab guys (yay for profiling!) in a side area. Apparently they thought a foreigner having bloodshot eyes from jet lag is impossible. Of course, the fact that I was wearing a shirt that had the word "addict" on it probably didn't help.

Well, are you shaving yet?

 

[Hewson]

He looks like he has bad intentions for that finger.

 

[PhilsFan]

It's the first 70-degree day we've had at Penn State in like six months.

And I'm stuck inside with food poisoning. HOLLA AT YA BOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYY

I got one on Saturday morning.

Airport guy: Mind stepping in here?
Me: Not at all--take a good look!

Feel better, Peef.

 

[No spoken words]

I had one not too long ago. Where did I go. I literally cannot recall.....fuck. Oh, Vegas.

Sorry Little Lord Piss. Sorry about the end of Roy Halladay's career and sorry that you're ill.

I have had a full body scan on the last five flights I've been on. I just figured they were now standard practice.

Maybe you're just that hot.

 

[joyfulgirl]

They are slowly removing the naked scanners and replacing them with less-naked scanners. I always opted out and got the feel-up instead as a small protest. Feel a bit vindicated now that they're removing them.

This news is almost a couple months old now, but I only just saw it recently. Robert Plant has been seen as the impediment to a Led Zeppelin reunion tour ever since 2007 - in a recent Rolling Stone interview, Page pretty much said that he and JPJ and Jason Bonham would've toured after the O2 gig but Plant was already committed to other things/didn't want to. Now - well, in February - Plant is saying he's not the bad guy, and he's got nothing to do in 2014:

After their tantalizing one-off gig in 2007, Robert Plant has hinted that he's open to a Led Zeppelin reunion next year. Speaking to Australia's version of 60 Minutes, the singer deflected the notion that he's the reason for Zeppelin's dormancy. "[Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones] are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me," said Plant. "I'm not the bad guy . . . You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014."

If this ever happened...I think it would be insane how a hard/expensive a ticket it would be to get.

 

[Hewson]

I think the demand would be unparallelled.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hope they do, that show they did in 2007 was awesome. Still need to buy the album of that, loved seeing the concert in the theater last year.

It's so backwards down there. Middle class white men get all the "random" searches.

Ironically, I'm quite certain they thought I was on drugs. If they only knew the ridiculously conservative life I've lived.

 

[Danny Boy]

It seems the "stand right, walk left" signs at Chicago Midway mean absolutely fucking nothing.

Hooray for layovers.
