Happy Birthday Gabi!

Only if the bear above was a panda-bear.

Here is wishing you a Happy Birthday Gabi!

Brain Teaser

If me, Ben, Sol, Raju, and Joe had to finish a keg, just between the five of us, how long do you think it would take us? Note that a keg has 125 pint glasses of beer. (Note that I chose these five people as the most likely to be willing to try it. (Also note that I am not suggesting we actually try it.))

I think it would take 12 hours.

It's A Complicated World

I honestly don't know what to say about this. But it's real and it takes doodie.com to a whole new level...

The New QT

Okay, how is it jj8 has not yet taken over this gem for our own purposes. What's the hold-up?

All About Eve

Thursday evening (tomorrow), free screening at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Anyone interested? We could make a picnic dinner of it. DJ's starting at 6pm, Movie starts at sundown.



I know White Rabbits are playing that night, but I've seen them, this is free, and it's outside.

Cat TRAUMA!!!

Was woken this morning at 7am to Katie screaming, "GET OLIVER!" and a weird barking/crying coming from the window where Oliver was sitting. As i leaped out of bed to get Oliver, it became shockingly and heartbreakingly clear what was happening: he was eating our new kitten. I jumped at the window to save the baby. Oliver, alert, eluded my grasp and bolted down the hall. Stopping on a dime, i spun and was on his tail instantly as we charged into the living room. a quick left through the breakfast nook and i had my chance. Oliver ran under the dinner table and was seemingly trapped against the window with half eaten cat hanging from his mouth. I dove. With full Matrix style Oliver ran up the window and landed on the table above me. Bruised, bloodied and sitting under a table, i turned to find Katie still screaming. "I NEED TO SEE THE KITTY!," as she followed down the hall picking up pieces of dismembered kitten and placing them into a bloody towel. She ran to the front door, "I NEED TO SEE IF THE KITTY IS OUT HERE," and was gone. Moments later as I reached the front door Katie was back, "Oh here she is." Behind me, the kitten is bounding down the hall to see what's happening and to playfully attack my feet.

Huh?

So what really happened:

Katie woke up to a weird barking/crying coming from outside the bedroom window. She became instantly convinced that our new kitten had crawled through a hole in the screen and was now being eaten by a dog on the sidewalk. She screamed: "GET THE KITTEN!" I, startled from a deep sleep and completely blind, totally misread the situation. What followed was exactly as I described, except for the visions of half-eaten and dismembered kitten. I really can't see a thing without my contact lenses.

katie

No Picture. Whether it means anything or not, I just threw up in front of my parents because of alcohol. I'm not even remotely ashamed becase I was forced into a compact car situation before I was ready. But is there even something I should be ashamed of? I don't think so. I almost feel like it's their fault despite the fact that it was my cousin's engagement party. I needed some chillout time....and, yes, my brother and sister who were squeezed into the back seat of the car with me were just fine. I just lost it........Say something...

Useful Tips

Amazingly, there are no JJ8 members in this photo:


Nonetheless, many of us could probably do well to read this excellent set of instructions of "How Not to Do Things". (Some photos are not for those with sensitive stomachs, but if you can take Ben's splintered thigh, you'll do fine.)
