I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Move it over to the intentional division.

PJ, unintentional funny (post hoc) or unfunny intentional? I tend to believe what actually happened is the former, but i am interested in your answer. I might take you off ignore for it it your promise to stay on point.

My doorman informed me that our building doesn't allow satellite tv. So that fucking blows. Directv needs to have a big dish on top of the building that everyone can just hook into instead of these individual dishes. It's just logistically impossible to put them all on the roof and the building would never agree to mounting them outside your window.

Your doorman, and your building, has fuck-all to say about it. The FCC has enacted regs that preclude condo and homeowners' associations from enacting or enforcing certain rules inhibiting the installation of OTA reception devices of one meter or less in diameter. In 1999, it clarified that the rule applies to rental property, to the extent you wish to install the dish on any portion of the property to which you have exclusive access, such as any balcony or patio. Of course, you can't force the landlord to let you install it on common areas like the roof or to drill through the exterior walls of the building, but if you tell em you're putting it on the patio, em (1) can't stop you; and (2) might agree to a roof or wall installation for aesthetic reasons once em realizes em can't stop you.

There's an FCC fact sheet on the issue here.

So if your homeowners' association or landlord tells you that you can't have a dish, tell them to blow you. Tell them to Blow You for America. {March out whistling patriotic tune, a la Eric Stratton.}

Edited to change "him"s to "em"s. Patriotism knows no gender.

GEORGE: Ah you have no idea of the magnitude of this thing. If she is allowed to infiltrate this world, then George Costanza as you know him, Ceases To Exist! You see, right now, I have Relationship George, but there is also Independent George. That's the George you know, the George you grew up with -- Movie George, Coffee shop George, Liar George, Bawdy George.

JERRY: I, I love that George.

GEORGE: Me Too! And he's Dying Jerry! If Relationship George walks through this door, he will Kill Independent George! A George, divided against itself, Cannot Stand!

(Elaine enters)

GEORGE: You're Killing Independent George! You know that, don't you?!

Clearly you are still at the maturity level to keep on kegging. Anybody wanna bet how much longer this relationship lasts?

I say 6 months 3 weeks, unless you visit Chicago prior to that.

I think I am definitive proof that [Jewish=cool], lamentably, is not so. (If you haven't already figured that out...)

Random question - there was a kids' book I read about a Jewish family around the turn of the century, 5 kids, I think. I remember the mother hid pennies in the sitting room for the kids to find when dusting to be sure they got everywhere (table legs and such), which always struck me as an eminently good idea. The family had two goyish friends, and when they had them both over for Seder it turned out they were each others long lost loves and they got married (well, you know, they're both goy, they must know each other). It was a good book - they just went about their lives - rationing allowances, losing library books, etc. Everything I know about Jewish holidays I learned from that book.

Anyone have a clue what it was?

Apropos of little of that, I feel compelled to note that your avatar is the spitting image of my first born. Unlike the Freaky foursome, he smells like an old wool sweater. FYI.

And Apropos of Not You, Hank Chinaski's modified avatar reminds me of a car dealer in Mass. who dresses up as a movie version Native American for every 4th of July Parade. The getup involves a loin cloth, leather boots, orange body paint, and a headdress (but of course), and he arrives on horseback (bareback, I think).

This man is not, to my knowledge, Native American. Rather, he is just weird.

If I go to chicago, then either the guilt solidifies the relationship or he realizes that once he has had a taste of the best, he cant go back to the rest. Not for nothing, but one picks up a few tricks by the time she is in her thirties. And I am bendy like Phoebe. Oh, and i have 18 percent body fat. poor poor mrs. c. she will never dispel the keggin roomie.

Done.

I don't think I'm in danger of having to eat them.

You should have yourself delivered to Coltrane's apartment in a pizza box.

Funny, I didn't respond yesterday to the poll (too many choices) and was musing about this on the way to work this morning and wondered why no one had mentioned:

Clearly. B/c posting apropos Seinfeld quotes is an unmistakable sign of immaturity.

Alright, who's got my legs and who's gonna hold the tap? Longest stand gets to be President in Asshole!

Sweetie, since you clearly read my posts, I am effectively off your ignore list anyway. But keep smiting me with the cruel sword of your IL if it makes you feel good.

Now I'm just picturing you with a "mess with the best, die like the rest" t-shirt on. And you're wearing Oakley wrap-arounds.
