This guy has a suggestion for bad haircuts.
This guy has a suggestion for bad haircuts.
Tom Hilde mentioned wanting to come. Will Yglesias be there?
Damn. Didn't mean that to post twice. Can I add, just for fun, this?
That's a disaster haircut, not a haircut disaster.
1, 2: In the next picture he's with Julie Delpy. It's worth trying.
It's a shame about the term "Julie Delpyness".
I would attend such an event, and request that it not be on the 13th, when I have my first exam this semester.
I had to read 10 several times before I figured out what SB was talking about. Oh, the shame!
I'll try to make it.
That's one creepy caterpiller a few photos forward from the photo linked in 1.
I surely haven't commented enough to attend an Unfogged in NYC event, but on the off chance I'm eligible, I'm free all week (NYU law was "gracious" enough to schedule all my exams near Christmas).
I believe this jolly fellow was the model for Gentle Giant's self-titled album.
I had to read 10 several times before I figured out what SB was talking about. Oh, the shame!
Um, I feel thick for asking, but what is he talking about?
Suppose, as I think may be the case for French names (though you would know better, Belgian baker), that "Julie Delpy" has the stresses on the second syllables. Then say "Julie Delpyness" aloud.
Also.
Ah. Got it. Thanks.
And I'm just going to claim that my "he" referred to you, Texan Philosopher.
ogged, i am sad. i just found out you'll be in d.c. right before i come home for winter break. sigh.
Someday, Catherine, someday. I'll also be in Chicago at the end of December, but expect you'll be elsewhere.
I'd probably be free for a lunch around then -- how would everyone feel about the Oyster Bar? (Note: if you're not fond of fish, a bad idea.)
And a woohoo on the apartment! (Have rents gone down? I've heard rumors that the rental market was softening, but haven't been involved in looking for a place in years.)
I have concerts on 9, 10, and 11, but I might appear in New York after that if the event is sufficiently exciting.
Huh, I was assuming it would be an evening get together, but I have no objection to lunch if people can't do evening.
I won't even be in town until late on the 11th, so I expect to see you there, Labs.
We should all show up at LB's office at around 11pm and start chatting. Then she can sit there and decide between working on her briefs or wasting time with us. It will be surreal.
I'm fucking jealous. Stupid New York.
I am in (well near) the city and would be glad to meet you. The Oyster Bar is close by where I work so I could meet for lunch there on a weekday; alternately it's always fun to drink some beers in the evening. One good place to do that, of many, is Druid's on 10th Ave in the 50's.
I might be coming to NY at the tail end of that time, though it's iffy enough that you probably shouldn't plan around me.
I vote for after work. I like that place Druids. My office is downtown now, or will be as of next week, so it would be hard for me to make lunch in Grand Central.
Though if LB can't make late in the day, I'll see what I can do.
After this trip, I guess ogged will have met more than half of the regular commenters. That's what I call secure pseudonymity.
Not that I wouldn't try to make it too, if I were in that part of the country.
Eb, you've made me curious. Ogged, when you do these things, do you introduce yourself as X or as "ogged"?
That's the key. I was recently relieved to recall that w-lfs-n, for example, only knows me as "Ogged" and "real-life nickname." I think for a bigger gathering like NY, I'll stick with "ogged."
So, what, when you introduced yourself in Chicago, that wasn't even your real name then? Talk about taking things a little far.
That's a bit rich from someone who has an indiscretion error named after him.
Isn't there some theorem about the expected frequency of a w-lfs-n Indiscretion Error (hereafter, WIE) that suggests he will be posting pictures of you shortly? (And wouldn't it be funny if all those pictures we believe to be of w-lfs-n were actually of you?)
But I believe "real-life nickname" has remained secret.
Think of how much likelier my indiscretion will be, now that I know it wouldn't even concern your real name.
…that suggests he will be posting pictures of you shortly?
I don't own a camera, sorry. As Joe Frank says: no photographs, only memories.
wouldn't it be funny if all those pictures we believe to be of w-lfs-n were actually of you?
What do you think?
Well, it would explain your TiVo situation.
Odd, Ben is the one holding the knife, but he's also the one that's bleeding....
w-lfs-n Deprecation Error.
I told you so.
Off to see the boy wizard...
Off to see the boy wizard...
Perv.
Has anyone stopped to wonder what connection barbery and ogged's tentative trip to NYC have?
Is he getting dolled up as an implicit rebuke to the ex (Look at what you could have had!), or just to conceal how far he's fallen?
That's it, straight political blogging from here on out. Only I'm allowed to make me an object of amusement around here.
I'm glad to see all parties are still adhering to these rules.
I wondered also how ogged's senile barber fiasco constitutes dolling up.
w/d, where's that from?
w-lfs-n commented on an old thread just now, and I had to read through it to figure out what the hell he was talking about.
I wondered also how ogged's senile barber fiasco constitutes dolling up.
It was an attempt, anyway, not necessarily successful.
My real name is "Senilo Barbafiasco".
My name is Senilo Barbafiasco. I rinsed your lather. Prepare to dye.
Any sentences you still need to finish, w-lfs-n?
I thought I'd make myself presentable to the Unfogged crowd. As it turns out, if my scalp is no longer visible by the time I roll into NY, it will be a victory.
56 is brilliant, SB, but don't beat yourself up about it.
Thanks, ogged. Just for you, not only won't I beat myself up, I also won't gnash my teeth, don a hairshirt, or take to the hills to bewail my virginity.
We've been through this before.
But why choose Eric?
Because it came to mind, and I think that it's the first name of Eb Oesch, for whom you were once mistaken.
Ah, I remember that. It took me a while to figure out who rone was talking about.
The cottage industries that used to cater to throngs of hill-seeking virginity bewailers have fallen on hard times.
I might be able to make drinks after work -- it's just that there's a tendency for emergencies to come up in the afternoon that keep me working late, so while I can make pretty confident lunch dates, I'm unreliable for anything in the evening. Still I'll make an effort to show up for anything.
Wait...ogged, you're seriously going to call yourself "ogged" for the face-to-face? You're not joking about that?
Evenings are fine for me, usually, but my office, like ac's, is downtown, so no Oyster Bar lunch for me.
If UnfoggaCon doesn't meet at a leather bar, even your children's children will feel the shame.
Which he retaliated against by posting about his hott new blender.
You should totally blog tv this NY meeting, you know. That'll show Kaus.
