Wow, 1m30s in and I'm already creeped out.

Awesome.

That was AMAZING. Ogged, you are a fucking genius.

So great.

Oh wow, that's excellent and creepy. The "Office Space" guy is a nice touch.

I'm almost certain I've seen something like that before. It might have been a cartoon strip or something like that.

It has an IMDB entry.

2001. I thought it had kind of a nineties vibe to it.

Check out the "thanks" section of the credits -- there's one that says, "Everyone at Six Feet Under."

Which makes sense, kinda. Lots of people living in the same house, talking past each other.

Also awesome, what a fart looks like on an infrared camera.

Most of the comments seem to think that's faked.

I know, but it's a quality fake.

Awesome clip, Ogged. Not enough 47-year-old balding men, though.

How many do you want?

There's always room for one more, if she's named "Cala" "beth."

What, names other than "Cala" aren't good enough to be capitalized?

It wasn't capitalized in the video. I adhere to his preference.

Still watching, but so far I identify most strongly with "Bambi".

Fuck, I knew I should have redacted the state. Okay, I'll fess up: I'm actually Mandybear.

Was there a discussion earlier about how some people (soubrizquet?) wanted to change their pseudonyms? "Slappy Sue" is still available.

I'm seriously considering taking on the pseud "Bambi". Or "Thumper".

What, no one wants "Jerry?"

I'm seriously considering taking on the pseud "Bambi". Or "Thumper".

I work with a guy who legally changed his name to "Thumper".

Does he comment here?

Or she, I hasten to add.

Does he comment here?

Oh hell no. Strange cat. As one of my friends said, "Thumper is about 40 percent convinced he's actually a vampire."

40 percent convinced he's actually a vampire.

An old roommate of mine is like that. The whole time we were living together, he'd almost always go to bed around dawn and wake up in time for dinner.

If it weren't for my job (and I guess the kids), I'd almost always go to bed about dawn and wake up about lunchtime.

Stupid job.

As it is, though, you somehow struggle by with three hours of sleep a night.

27: But did he suck anyone's blood?

Three hours would be a struggle. If I get four, I'm generally okay.

Oh hell no. Strange cat. As one of my friends said, "Thumper is about 40 percent convinced he's actually a vampire."

Why do I get the feeling you're holding stories back on us?

But did he suck anyone's blood?

He does no a set of fangs that were custom fit. Which opened my eyes to the fact that there people in the world who make custom vampire fangs.

30: Not to my knowledge (though I wouldn't have put it completely past him), but he did have quite the fascination with the stuff. He was a bit gothy.

Christ, does no? s/b does have

Have to quote one of the best paragraphs of description I've ever read online, from Michael Lewis's coverage of the Microsoft trial.

The new Microsoft lawyer has the warmth of a corpse. He wears a funereal dark charcoal suit and matching hairdo and has the pallor of a man who hasn't seen daylight in years. If the courtroom population were asked to vote who in the chamber was most likely to be a vampire, he'd win by a landslide. But next to the witness he comes across almost as a hail fellow well met. Tevanian has a Ph.D. in computer science and an intelligence that is cold to the touch. Unlike the others who have come before the court, he says or does nothing without a very clear purpose. He has the air of a murderer who is unlikely to get caught.

34: Question: did you ever share a domicile with 'smasher?

Why do I get the feeling you're holding stories back on us?

I should tour schools. "Hey kids, don't accidentally start having kids too early, or else you'll get to put college on hold and work nights in a large faceless corporation with people who aren't quite sane."

36 is fantastic.

Speaking of 'Smasher, did you know he's going to Miami this weekend? I mean, WTF?

Work is sending me to Miami in March. Are there any Miami Lur(-)kers? We could have a meet up on Calle Ocho.

36: That's awesome. The description of the judge later on in that piece is also funny; I actually met him (the judge) a few times, it sounds just like him. Friendly guy, but very imposing.

Calle Ocho is a strip mall. You have very few reasons to leave South Beach.

But Art Basel Miami Beach (the reason SMasher is going ) is pretty sweet, even if you're a Philistine.

Thanks, mike d. Duly noted.

37: No, he is not the one to whom I refer. I cannot comment as to his vampiric tendencies.

Actually, if you have the time, the Vizcaya Mansion is pretty cool. Otherwise, stick to the art deco. And eat at La Sandwicherie.

46: Will do. Thanks twice. I'll have a Vegetarian (yeah, eat shit bacon boyz) on French Bread, or on a Croissant if it's early morn.

Stanley, as you get towards the date, drop me a line (duetorre at gmail dot com) and I'll bore you with other suggestions.

But the Turkey or Salami sandwiches are really the best there...

48: It's really not polite to wave your meat in my face, mike. Second date, at the very least.

Huh, I had never heard of Art Basel until last weekend when someone asked me if I'd heard of it (Me: "I've heard of Basel, Switzerland, are they the same thing?"), and now I find that both people I know in real life and through these magical interwebs are attending.

and I thought you were cool, w/d.

So I guess everyone's busy at facebook updating their info and approving friend requests…

I should really get one of those facebook things sometime. Maybe it'll help me score chicks.

I don't know what could possibly have misled you to that view (though thanks, I suppose). Then again, I'm not sure what the correlation between people who have heard of Art Basel and coolness is supposed to be, I'm pretty sure that r is negative there.

Looking for a comment I left in it, I discover that the Frapper post and thread has been vanished.

Fucking redactions. Fucking D/en B/este.

Is this the thread you're looking for?

Can't Labs just get tenure already?

Nah, this one.

He'll have to post a lot more often before I give him that.

eat shit bacon boyz

As shit-eating goes, the vegetarians aren't looking much safer these days.

Well, how do you do, I saved a copy of that one. w/d, which of these were you after?

36. I appreciate all compliments.

47. Wait a minute here: we know (or at least ogged claimed and it seemed likely) that the original time zone on the timestamps wasn't because of ogged's location, but instead his server's or isp's or something like that. When the timestamp's changed time zone, do you think that was because ogged changed the timestamps to his timezone, or rather some change on the hardware side? Because I lean towards the second, and I don't think the time zone has anything to do with ogged's location.

61. 49, 59: But see 41

63. Yes.

Is apostropher teh sexiest?

You save Unfogged threads?

Those are the original comment numbers, apostropher.

By the way, how long have we known each other? I feel like I could tell you anything.

61: No self-respectin' vegeterian eats Taco Bell. And, further, this is Amuricka. We don't speakish no Spinach here.

I wanted to link to my comment saying "I appreciate all compliments" in regards to mike d's, "I thought you were cool." But too late now.

Yeah, it dawned on me as I was hitting post (hurriedly, so as to claim comment 63), but then it was too late.

By the way, how long have we known each other?

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens.

Also, and as always, what standpipe says.

I'm kind of in awe of 62.

I don't know, those were at best moderately good comments by me.

The video seems like what Brian Cox's character was getting at in Adaptation.

Not everything's about you, w/d.

Though I suppose I shouldn't be entirely surprised that standpipe apparently has his own personal copy of Unfogged.

Holy shit, 62 is fucking awesome.

I've got it! Standpipe is teh j3su5!!!
