I've decided. my take on you is thus.

You play the neanderthal here to a T. But at home you are whipped. Hence, the need to play neanderthal here. How my doin'?

Not Bob is not a sahm. You take that back.

NYC is not a high octane city. L.A. is a high octane city. Chicago is a high octane city. Boston, San Fran, Atlanta . . . high octane cities. NYC just has lots and lots of people, but they're all doing the same work as the folks in Cleveland and Portland and Houston, etc.

I've just about had enough of...
 

BS.

NYC is a tough city to be anything. Times 10. I've been in Boston it is totally different.

And of course, Minneapolis kicks NY's butt but what do I know.

I work in healthcare. There is no city in the world I'd rather work in healthcare, including NYC, than Houston, Texas. I suspect that the energy people here would be willing to go to Dallas, but that's about as far north as they'd be willing to head.

Emmys
 

I read a review and it made it sound as if Conan killed. The bit about putting Bob Newhart in a sealed container with 3 hours worth of air. If the show didn't finish on time, it would kill Bob Newhart. Good stuff

I was looking over the list of winners and nominees and was struck by 2 things. First, there are a bunch of people I've never heard of on that list. Second, the award for Outstanding Directing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program went to the 78th Annual Academy Awards on ABC. So basically, we have an awards show honoring an awards show. Do the Emmys ever give the award to themselves, or are the some sort of conflict rules?

NYC is a piece of cake. There are 80 million firms, each with 80 million attorneys. Every case or deal or whatever is way overstaffed with hundreds of associates and paralegals whose sole purpose is to bill 18 hours a day, not to actually do anything that makes any real difference. So, yes, you have to work long hours, but the junior associates are doing paralegal work and the paralegals are doing secretary/document clerk work. It is the only way to keep the leverage ratio high and PPP through the roof.

New York has not been particularly hard for me. In fact it is has pretty much been a walk in the park. I lived out of a car in Toronto for a month or so once. Now that is not fun.

But I bow down to your clearly superior authority about the high-octane-osity of urban areas.

2. Hi Flower! I was going to say piece of cake, but instead I said "walk in the park." Same diff!

And if that doesn't work out you can get $5/blow job at the Holland Tunnel.

Deadwood
 

You mean Jean-n-n-nine? I'll no longer be able to meet anyone with that name and keep a straight face. Tolliver turns out to be the psycho-est psycho of the bunch. Love it. As an unabashed fan of the show, on the one hand I would have liked tons of action, but on the other hand I appreciate all the machinations and strategizing that went down so that it didn't turn into something much much worse. I also liked how the show that started with Wild Bill brought his memory back into play in the final few episodes.

Question: Did Langrishe convince Hearst to leave? Or had he already decided? Was Langrishe's befriending of Hearst a factor in Hearst deciding not to do-for Swearingen?

Emmys
 

Isn't that what the entire 4+ hours is, essentially?

Emmys
 

It would add another circle to the circle jerk. I being kind of serious about this - everybody's going on and on about how great Conan was. Would the Emmys award themselves an award or is that too meta-something?

Emmys
 

2:57 this year.

I didn't watch, but I did DVR it. This is another reason to love Tivo, because I hate watching awards shows but always want to see the dishy moments. But I did see the last 2 minutes of the pre-show where Nancy O'Boobs was interviewing Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, and it was so impossibly awkward I can't even describe it. I'd be surprised if the two of them still slept in the same room.

Also, I thought Tim Gunn looked surprisingly non-natty. He's not a fantastic dresser, what with the sports jacket over jeans look, but his suit looked 2 sizes too big. And I was disappointed to see him there -- not that I blame him for taking whatever opportunities he can, but I'd hate to see him be as overexposed as Carson Kressley was.

Emmys
 

He was pretty funny. His song and dance slam of NBC ("Trouble With a Capital T") amused me. I also liked the bit about the gift bags being taxed -- something along the lines of "Gerorge W. Bush keeps stickin it to the working man."

And the answer is that I don't know if the Emmy is eligible for an Emmy. It seems like the Oscars win every year.

Uh, sarcasm?

NY was easy for me too.

I came alone for 2 months w/o everyone to live with my in laws first before we could find suitable housing. I learned the grid [streets] fast and was able to get a job in 48 hours.

I'm a hard worker so I was able to become more a manager type in a matter of months. I'm agressive so I asked everyone directions, and EVERYONE was nice. I was able to easily increase salary and do some OT. It's a great gig. I love the city.

Not, like, naked. As if.

Re: Emmys, was there some kind of airplane skit? In my 7-min commute, I got enough to realize someone was offended, but not what was offensive. Something about Kansas or Kentucky or something.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Manhattan is in Kansas.

Ketchup.
 

Dude, I don't know. But I sure as hell know that there's no way to ketchup at this point.

FYI, I purchased a TSA approved lock for my luggage and apparently this is deterrent enough for the lazy TSA guys not to open your luggage.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Are the streets there easier to learn than in NY?

Ketchup.
 

No. You'll find that it's deterrent enough for them not to use the key, but rather to use the bolt cutters to remove it. Just give it a couple more trips.

I've just about had enough of...
 

I wouldn't know. What is the octane level?

I've just about had enough of...
 

"NYC is a tough city to be anything. Times 10. I've been in Boston it is totally different"

Your sarcasm is very subtle. Kudos.

I've just about had enough of...
 

No, I am pointing out your sarcasm re: "oh I bow down to your octane level awareness" or whatever snark-fest you had going on there. I am accused by TM of always taking everything literally.

I don't.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Yes. It is.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Lucky for them. I hear that grid system in the other one is a bear.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Hmmm, I think that was literal. Both in the sense that she really was in awe of your ability to ascertain the octane level of the city, and in that she was actually physically bowing down to you. You should try being less cynical in your reading of others' posts. Not every conversation here is a "snark-fest," whatever that is.

Ketchup.
 

They're too lazy to use the key and too lazy to use the bolt cutters. Win/win.

I was in line behind 2 grandmas who were trying to smuggle illicit materials through security. 1 grandma had 2 bottles of water. The TSA agent shook them at her and said "you know these are restricted materials right?" And then the next grandma had 2 jars of jelly in her carry-on and 1 in her purse. She looked like she was going to cry because the TSA agent took her damned jelly. While the rest of us waited in line during the search. I tsked and shook my head in disgust, only to later discover that I had a bottle of lotion in my purse that they didn't catch. If I had been stopped by TSA, I would have had to shake my head at myself in disgust.

I've just about had enough of...
 

Hmm. PLF, I respectfully disagree. I think she was being sarcastic!

We are so on the same page. It is like I'm wearing fuschia pants or something.

But are they Pucci?

The Emmys
 

I did not get a chance to watch the Emmys, but I did catch Deadwood, Entourage and Lucky Louie. I am disgusted to hear that was the last Deadwood. What a crappy end. We should write a letter or something. Do we know anyone in the business?

And the dresses I have seen have been meh. Thurgreed - hot or not?
