Monterrey Setlist Watch and Party, Part I

[Tiger Edge]

I wish America would give up its nonsensical ways already.

I wish Axver would stop looking for things to fight about.

THAT doesn't make sense to me.

Hi ruffian!

Didn't expect to see you here tonight.
I don't know why.
But I somehow thought you were going to the concert in Mexico.

I'd planned on Mexico long ago but changed my mind in January--it just wasn't worth the money for one show, and for less airfare I was able to add Hawaii (which is just bizarre).

wow, downhill skiing is terrifying to watch! how fast are they going??

ETA: Bode Miller...

 

[angelordevil]

Axver, give it up already! Christ!

Hello everyone!

On the topic of chinese food... I had some lo mein and dumplings for dinner last night and lunch today (well, breakfast actually, but...)

And rice sounds good right about now

*goes and rummages through his cupboard for rice*

And my philosophy on dates is general to specific, so i usually write dates as, for example 2006-02-12.

People people lets all be nice, the show hasn't even started yet!

We musn't forget that there are bigger fish to fry. Like Bono for his all night long!

Hi folks

Am I the only one who keeps humming Wake Up?

At least I'm not swaying back and forth and waving my arms in the air. Or am I?

You might just be doing that... you never know with people on your side of the lake *ducks*

Hola QB!

Is that your post of the night before you slip into the shadows again?

Canada has been doing awesome at hockey (no surprise there), but it has been kinda crazy how high our scores against the other teams have been. We won against Italy 16-0, and against Russia 12-0.

Ruffian's here??? Happy Birthday, Ruff!!!!!

Hey, the bitching just adds to the atmosphere in here. Feels like coming home. I've missed this.

[If you shout...]

People here say both, and "January the first" has no bearing on writing dates, because using an order of mm/dd/yyyy is totally illogical to people. Why mix the order up? smallest/middle/largest or largest/middle/smallest are the ways to go.

Thanks for the hook-up. Note, however, your question. "Why mix the order up?" There is no set order. There is no standard. Again, I can only speak for American standards--since people usually say, "January the second, 2006," the culturally encoded logical progression is "1/2/2006".

You actually bring up a number of important issues of social/cultural theory. Try out wikipedia and see what you can see about semiotics and all that jazz. Saussure, Foucalt, Eco, etc. What you need to remember, above all else, is that there IS no standard. It's all culturally arbitrary.

What's good for the goose (Country/Society A) is, in fact, NOT always good for the gander (Country/Society B).

Seriously, though, check it out. I think it's all very interesting stuff. And it does rile the emotions, sometimes, as it obviously seems to in you. It can be tough even for me to keep an open mind, but give 'er a whirl. It's good to mull over.

Oh...and are they playing "MOFO" yet? Anybody...?

Yes, and we can have a fresh round of setlist bitching when the setlist is just like Europe (or similiar) + Original Of The Species.

Ruffian's here??? Happy Birthday, Ruff!!!!!

and to you, too!

 

[U2dork]

It's almost like no time has passed at all!

How about a shmoke and a pancake?

Hey, I'm happily sandwiched in between the two lakes, I'll have you know.

Your posts were much better in 2005, you've lost your expirimental edge, they're all mainstreme and safe now.

 

[LMP]

[wenda]

Happy Birthday, Ruffian!!

ok, this thread is scaring me. We're discussing semiotics. And Foucault--whom I'm teaching tomorrow.




thanks to everyone for birthday wishes!

Who do they think they are? U2 at the Grammys?

I do feel sorry for the other women, however...just a little. Even though they completely suck!
