Lookout Landing

I bet the Great Amtrak Train Adventure kicked ass.

Not on the approved list of Carmen Destinations.

Too political.

Don't drink the butter tea.

I relived the same day over and over again for 17 days straight.

But you found true love right?

Summer hiatus

No Cuddy in any of those days.

You know what I think, so I won't post it.

I would accept a Cameron substitute.

Why do we have to play the god damn Padres?

The Padres have been damned by god?

Ironic.

They are the hated ®ivals.

Ttwice?

Natural rivals.

Home and away every year. Great for us San Diego folks. Sucks for everyone else.

gay

Who else would be Seattle's Rivals® then?

Except for last night Sims.

Fake links!

My prayers have been answered

It was going to be better but I hit Post too early

Throw harder please

Joba Chamberlain is doing awesome in the rotation.

I hate my life.

It's sad that those two things are related

Who said they were related?

You spend free time making animorphs

And waiting for someone to mention Ben Broussard

I can't believe any of his music hasn't been linked here.

I can't believe I haven't heard any of his music yet.

Its sad that we talk more about the Mariners more in person than we do in Gamethreads

Hey what the fuck it's the 7th already

Yay!

END! END!

RAYYYYSSSS

This is a great night. My first rec post here on LL and RAYYYYYYS

Alright Marlon Anderson!

Making sure Willie doesn’t get an XBH!

I am upset that the aquarium closes at five pm.

There should be more things to do after work on weekdays.

Were you trying to see dolphins?

The Dolphins are only pretending to like you.

I find that a dolphin's opinion is influenced by whether or not I have fish.

Whores.

Easy bastards.

Nice paraphrase

Wells Dunn

I'm flagging you because you need to stop; I think you have a problem

We're still doing this?

I Kent stop

Psoriasisly, you need to stop

I can't believe that the Edmonds gif and this comment came form the same person.

It's funny because he Big Hurt himself

Ban this man

That's not even a pun.

But a rhyme.

I'm Kerri Struggling

Now with less lipstick!

I have an interesting idea for a ytmnd related to this

I've been to Stricklands Frozen Custard

That’s weird.

Ben looks a lot like Austin Croshere in this picture.

houseofprime - June 25, 2008 reply

If you weren't the head honcho around here, that would have gotten you into the penalty box.

The Honus is on you guys for Bencouraging me

That is at least a pun.

Stick with those.

I can't find a good pun for "Stop"

Therefore I am stuck doing this Balfourever

You need to Endy this immediately.

Randor what?

Chase Stoply

I will Villone you at this

It is you who will be Ramoned

And Marloned

And Ponsoned.

I realize this was used in a game thread this year.

Don’t care.

I hate this place.

I just keep hoping for Maholm puns.

For some reason that cracks me up.

Jeff: How long in the penalty box for the Ronald McDonald gif?

TBA

When?

Find out

Or don't.

sigh

goddammit

YOU SON OF A BITCH

DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE

I never ever ever needed to see that.

Don't say I didn't warn everyone.

I was warned, but I did not know to avert my eyes.

Why didn't you listen!?

ningwers - June 25, 2008 reply

I already have enough sources for nightmares.

I mistakenly thought, “What’s one more?”

Kirsten Schlewitz - June 26, 2008 reply

Remember all those times I brought this up

And you were very unsure about seeing it..how do you feel now? :)

kentroyals5 - June 25, 2008 reply

See ya later!

Rec'd

...what?

Reverse psychology.

Call it what you want, I actually enjoy watching it

Trying to lull me into a false sense of security, eh?

I love it.

Adblocked!

I dunno', I think this thing's pretty hilarious.

If only for the reaction it gets.

seattlebruin - June 26, 2008 reply

You're Lyon

See a movie

Seeing a movie is not social.

It is if you don't mind being obnoxious

It is when you go with people.

Sitting next to a person not talking does not a social setting make.

See above

I hate those people.

I AM THOSE PEOPLE

Although I do it for movies nobody cares about, like MI3 or X-Men 3

or Hairspray

Stop giving those people your money.

They might eventually learn to make better movies.

I gave the people who made 21 my money

And I deeply regret it. Worst movie I’ve seen in a long time (excluding Indiana Jones)
.

Indiana Jones wasn't terrible

Not something I’d see twice. Or give almost $10 dollars for.

You can't just inject aliens into a movie

I thought it was entertaining.

Precisely!

The movie was great until the last 15 minutes got all sci-fi’y

It was a nice homage to 1950s serial dramas.

I thought it was appropriate.

I agree

I wouldn’t of minded the aliens, but the quality of aliens was so bad, as well as the ending in general.

Did you not see Shia Lebouef swinging with the monkeys?

That was it for me

I rent good movies.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7212707.stm

THEY MIGHT LEARN!

Be less stuffy.

Even I don't stoop that low

Or Sex In The City Movie?

This movie needed social commentary.

My girlfriend forced me to see it

And of course she loved it while I think it was meh at best. But I could picture LFoJL seeing it by himself.

I agree

I hate it when the teenagers giggle at the immature jokes or giggle while running up and down the hallways. This is why I am glad rated R exists.

See a bad movie.

Be more obnoxious.

This is what I do

Discuss afterwords.

I don't think we're surprised by this.

It's how we role.

Maybe go to Pike's Market?

Or the space needle?

market closes at 6.

Space Needle, maybe, though kinda touristy.

It is if you're black

THAT'S SEXIST

I'm going to assume this is racist.

I hate the fact that so blend in so well during movies and I cant see where to throw my popcorn

[Thats_Racist.gif]

This is true.

I had to rewatch some movies at home after seeing them in Philadelphia theaters.

Hike Mt Si

Too crowded.

He wants to do something social

Good point.

Though if you want something social, you’re pretty much in the wrong city.

Having sex is.

Too bold.

It's better than watching a movie or going to an aquarium

Depends on the sex

and the partner

If this is the case then you shouldn't be having sex with said partner

It devalues sex.

Not if its the Aquarium in Balitimore

Please explain

Your response will determine whether or not I’ll visit said aquarium if I ever travel to Baltimore, which is something I wish to do before I die.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Aquarium_in_Baltimore

That'll work fine because going to Baltimore increases your risk of dying

tootthekazoo - June 25, 2008 reply

I've always thought that seeing a movie was the worst place for a first date...

let’s get together and not talk for two hours?!?

pakipaki - June 25, 2008 reply

My thoughts exactly.

If it's a good movie, it's a good date, actually

First, it allows you to spend time together without awkward small talk
Second, it’s a fun thing to do and if you both liked it, it helps bonding
Third, it gives you something to talk about afterwards

player.

Disagree.

It needs to be about the conversation.

That's why you do Dinner + Movie.

If a guy took me to dinner + movie on a first date I would know we weren't meant to be.

Then what do you suggest Date guru?

I'm not there but...

I would suggest cooking dinner. Or a picnic in the park. Walk after dark by the water. Cocktails at a specialty bar. Wine tasting (or beer tasting). Baseball game. Outdoor concert.

Hard to talk during concerts.

Not James Taylor concerts

That's because nobody else is there.

Besides the white people.

Fuckers

White people are stupid.

Nobody worth talking to but plenty worth looking at

Yeah, but they like James Taylor.

Based on a sample size of one they can be okay

Not so much outdoor ones.

Usually you’re far enough away.

Have you been to the Gorge lately?

I meant a Seattle-style outdoor concert.

Not a trip to nowheresvile.

Some of us are lil city folk.

Sorry, a Spokane-style concert.

I'm not sure such a thing exists.

I was going to be meaner about it but thought better of it.

Go to the giant wagon. That’s fun. And see the garbage eating goat.

That thing burned the shit out of me when I was a kid.

The wagon or the goat?

Please say goat

The one with a big hot meatal runway.

It was more fun the other way.

Holy shit, deja vu.

Not everyone is a good listener.

I don't remember what I am talking about.

It wasn't you.

But this also does not surprise me.

I love when these threads get so big that it breaks the nested comment scheme.

On second though I would never see anyone I liked.

Cooking dinner is MONEY

That’s the absolute best first date ever. Chance to talk, tasks to keep from being idle, creating something good for her to eat, relaxed environment, already back at your place…

It’s unbeatable.

I wasn’t saying movies are the best, just that they’re not bad.

small talk is only awkward if you're faking it

if you need help with conversation topics, you’re probably dating the wrong person

pakipaki - June 25, 2008 reply

Small talk is no indicator of a meaningful connection.

Small talk is just an ice breaker, not any way to gauge meaningful discourse or connection

That's why you're supposed to go to dinner first

That's so boring though.

I don't disagree

It’s a pretty lazy idea for a first date.

It's not 1958.

Anything outside is good in Seattle.

Well, in the summer anyway.

Even our FO thinks it's at least 1965.

If I lived in Seattle I would invite Robert on all my first dates

WHERE IS YOUR PUN NOW?

Wainwright here

David Wright was taken.

MEL STOPPLEMYRE

THANK YOU

It would encourage conversation.

To make you seem more likable in comparison?

She and I would have conversation material for weeks

I wanted to play the beer glass drums but Matthew is a Nazi

He's such a Negative Nancy

I don't know how much of this is real and how much of this is you fabricating my memories

Did you want to do it on sharp rocks?

I am afraid of this line of conversation

I tried to throw my bottle of Mt Dew at that spot that makes his free will go away

When was the last day in which you didn't drink a mountain dew?

16 seconds ago

Wait you meant last day I didnt drink one

I think one day last august I drank orange soda instead

I'm so proud of you

Nonexistent?

Well that doesn't even make sense

I wish I was still addicted to Diet Code Red.

Livewire!

FTL

This was from yesterday

Thank God

I had a fucking bad ass beat going in my head too

Which works well with glass bottles and sharp rocks.

Tell me this wasn't with your beer glasses

It wasn't.

I'm going to start charging admission

In recs

Eric is somehow someway more of a lightweight than I am

Try working until 7pm most weekdays

I have to do almost everything on Saturday. It is rather annoying.

bluemax - June 25, 2008 reply

How about EMP or the Sci Fi museum?

Been to both fairly recently.

but good suggestions generally.

I just happen to be bored today.

Are we date helping you or just helping you not be bored?

Somewhere that got confused.

The latter

not sure why it morphed into a date thing.

If we're talking about a date thing

Hit up Teatro ZinZani.

Head down to Gasworks?

or Gameworks?

When I was living downtown I went to Gameworks way too often.

thewyrm - June 25, 2008 reply

I bought some 90 minute.

Problem solved

I foolishly wanted to mingle with other people for a little while.

You know, to remind myself why I hate doing it.

Email Coach

When is he going to come out of his room?

I miss him

Have you noticed how the game threads have been fun again?

Because of the Lookout Landing Zoo?

I think if we could unleash Coach for half an hour once a week

it would be the perfect equilibrium.

I think that's more because butthol hasn't been here than Coach.

Pretty much a lateral move.

Disagree. Coach sparked great hilarity.

Coach is so much better to have than Butthol

There were some hilarious moments with Coach

While butthol is mostly just extremely annoying

I hate that fucking sreenname so fucking much.

That's quite a bit of anger.

I'm just hurt he never tried to friend me on myspace.

I'm not.

I'll hook you up

How sweet.

It's not the same.

Needy little bastard.

Also, I say we bring back the Ronald McDonald .gif

The greatest .gif in the world

I will ban you so hard.

I will gladly go to the penalty box to post that

I endorse this.

DIE

STAB

I do not second this

Doesn't this place help with that?

Sometimes anyway?

Usually. Not today for some reason.

Not a challenge, everyone. Not a challenge.

Once you go Robert you dont go back

I'm out.

See you guys the next time our two fine teams meet on the base ball field of play.

If Johnny Durocher is the UW QB to make the big leagues I will be so pissed off.

Fan of Tui?

Only the biggest

I'll be pissed for different reasons

Bethel scum.

bluemax - June 25, 2008 reply

Whua? How did Ichiro get on?

BB

I left at the bottom of the 4th.

At that point it looked like John fucking Maine was going to no-hit us. I was relieved to see we have scored two when I got back to the hotel.

Of the 7 Mariner games I have been to, we have a 4-3 record. I have watched Batista pitch twice, and he has anal-fucked my holiday twice.

Can we DFA his arse now?

That said, it was a great holiday thanks to The Slam and the massacre last night. But today sucks.

EnglishMariner - June 25, 2008 reply

I could never leave a Mariners game early.

I'd wait until the 8th at least.

I once left a football game before half time to get a curry instead.

I don’t enjoy watching meaningless suck … which kind of explains why I watch very few M’s games this year.

EnglishMariner - June 25, 2008 reply

I find it odd that you chose to leave the actual game, only to go home and to follow it here

pakipaki - June 25, 2008 reply

Game Threads are awesome though.

[and I am catching up on other online stuff, like reviewing the Glastonbury lineup which I go to tomorrow, woo!]

EnglishMariner - June 25, 2008 reply

Does this count as following the game?

I don't even have Gameday open
