Random Music Talk LXXXVIII: Don't mention your vacations

[Jive Turkey]

Its bocce and they've been doing it in Italy since before Australia was just a twinkle in England's eye.

People play bocce outside of drunken cottage weekends?

 

[PhilsFan]

I've only ever been to a cottage once, and it had a restaurant in it. Fucking Indiana.

This sentence doesn't even make sense to me.
It's like saying you've been to a house once, and it had a restaurant in it. What the fuck, Indiana?

I spent a long weekend chilling on the shore of Lake Michigan in an awesome rental home, so please pardon me while I catch up ...

I like Pete Yorn's musicforthemorningafter. Inevitably, some of you will tell me how shitty it is or how lame it is to like it.....but does anyone else enjoy it, out of curiosity?

A guy I dated a few years ago was a huuuuugue Pete Yorn fan, and it was the one musical take-away I had from our very brief relationship. I also like the album he did with Scarlett Johanson.

I caught the rotten scent of that dude the first day he started posting here. There was just something off about him and his posting style. Vindicated is right.

And I'm sorry, the avatar definitely had something to do with it. Holy hell, that avatar.

So, I get that Mt Temple was being weird and plagiarismy ... did I miss something that he was a former banned member under a new name? Or was that someone else you were talking about? Or am I just completely confused?

I never make connections between mysterious new members and their previous usernames, and am always very curious as to who they are/were.

Whenever you catch a writer copying themselves, it's always fun, but when it's one of the most obvious song-writers ever, it's truly special.

It's like that dude who wrote Beyonce's Halo and Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone. Same damn song.




I like these new CDs: Head and the Heart, Cults, Paul McCartney, Lorde.

Like a cabin? Isn't a cottage just a small little wood thing?

I went to one in northeastern Indiana while traveling to cover a football game only because it was a restaurant near our hotel.

 

[corianderstem]

No, it was a big-ass house, some dude who lives in Chicago and has this home in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

And look, here it is! There were about umpteen-jillion TVs in the place (most bathrooms had them), a bunch of fireplaces, a jacuzzi tub, a hot tub .... it was swanky.

Kenosha Vacation Rental - VRBO 297875 - 5 BR Southeast House in WI, Spectacular Kenosha Lake Michigan Waterfront Retreat for 12

I scored a bedroom with a view, a fireplace, and a porch. Mornings were my favorite part, drinking coffee and reading, looking over the lake.

 

[PhilsFan]

Ha, I was replying to Jive. Glad you had a good weekend though! Vacation mornings are indeed excellent. I've had similar experiences whilst waking down the shore looking out at the ocean.

 

[corianderstem]

Ha, I was replying to Jive.

Whoops! Oh well. It gave me an excuse to show off the swanky digs.

Like this. People own them or rent them out. They're just like little weekend getaway houses on the lake in the forest

 

[BoMac]

One day I will own a cottage like that.

 

[PhilsFan]

The swank is strong with that house.

 

[IWasBored]

My definition of a cottage is basically a two room bungalow near a beach or in the woods. Those are not it.

Oh. I have been to zero of these types of places. I vacation at monstrosities that are killing the charm of the Jersey shore. You know, like this:

North of Toronto is the cottage capital of the world. Those are cottages

edit: I should add: Some of the monstrosities you can find north of Toronto in cottage country are not cottages, however

Why do they call cottage cheese cottage cheese?
I always imagine it's what regular cheese turns into when you forget it up at the cottage

 

[PhilsFan]

They're very typical on the south Jersey shore. It's two houses, one on the left and one on the right. We usually have several families staying in it, hence the need for a big place. Renting one side on the beach block for a week runs about $3500 during peak summer vacation weeks.

Why do cottages cause stretch marks?

I was only kidding. Mostly responding to your comment about it. It looks like a nice place. And really, it all depends on the location

I would say more like what a bottle of milk turns into if you left it in your cottage.

Why do cottages cause stretch marks?

Sitting around the cottage too much is what leads to stretch marks.

Right, Cape Cod is littered with them.

 

[nielsgov]

Staying in a cottage in the woods with a few friends is one of the best things in life.

 

[lazarus]

Invading a cottage in the woods with an axe is one of the best things in life.

I have to admit; this caught me off guard. You didn't seem like the type.

 

[Danny Boy]

I would've gone with "slaying" instead of "invading."

 

[lazarus]

My forgetting to delete that "in" didn't help.

 

[No spoken words]

You fucked it up royally, and the thing is, I saw his original post and knew with 100% certainty that you'd materialize shortly to get to work.....and the results sucked ass. Well done.

You'll love the thread I'm about to create: SCUBA Exposed.

What Peef posted, I'd refer to as a bread and breakfast.

 

[BoMac]

What Peef posted, I'd refer to as a bread and breakfast.

But having bread with breakfast isn't unusual, so why separate the two? That doesn't make any sense.

Oh, wait...

I had a burger at 10 p.m. It was all very odd. I was also devoid of cognitive function after something like eight hours in the car studying shitty Big Ten football players, so it's tough for me to fully describe what was happening.
