"Hi Greg Dulli. you're cool. Can i kiss you?" woo-hoo, i am Captain Dork. a distant relative to Capt. Monterrey Jack. so anyway, my bitch friends are going to eat at Spago tomorrow night without me. Whores. i wouldn't go without them. of course i don't have a car to get there, so i suppose this is a moot point. oh hey, i fell into the spiral and was pressured into getting IM and ICQ. my ICQ # is 24901402 and my IM nick is CourtSpork (go ahead.. mock me). slap mah fro! ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Mayflower material I presume?" "Huh?" "It's a boat. You're ancestors obviously didn't come over on it." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Dec 1998 03:48:07 -0500 From: Jessica Brandt Subject: more answers Dan: Ginger-toes was my idea. I think somehow in the original manuscript I got from her, she has three O's seperating the story...but then i thought "i could make it look like toes" and then a day later i thought "holy crap, ginger had that foot on her sig not too long ago!" and i had surprised myself a whole bunch. I got giddy. Then i got over it. Oh, and is that song line from "Disseminated" from Irresistable Bliss? i'm not even sure if that's the name of that song... next shrub, there'll be an article from Courtney. She has turned in her submission a month early! (but really, a month late...hehe) David Sedaris: so, i SHOULD check him out? my gay friend from Texas garuntees i'll love him. i read a story about him being a santa's elf at the mall. twas funny. Ohio: Cleveland deffinitely kicks the ass of any city in ohio. I did enjoy ly little trip to columbus a few weeks ago. was lovely but Cleveland...well, i mean...damn, we've got it all. As for the music scene....er...i dunno, i used to be a part of it. But i think i am the type who just doesn't like local music. Tavia: well i mean the story is as follows... My friend and I went to Canada for spring break (that's where the fat girls go, to avoid bikinis) and the whole way there we were freakin' out trying to find the PERFECT hiding place for our mondo bag of weed. My friend had suggested we hollow out the center of a big jar of peanut butter and put the weed and the hookah in the center in a plastic bag, then cover it back up again. but that might look suspicious, don't you think? so brilliant us, we stuffed ourselves full of Pringles and decided to hide the goods at the bottom of the Pringles can. We ended up staying in New York, tho, Niagra Falls, right on the damn rainbow bridge (i mean, YARDS away from our hotel) We smoked a lot and then went to Niagra falls, keeping the hotel room for 2 nights, driving over the boarder and back. The second morning, i was totally glued to my bed, but i woke up with the brilliant idea "well, hey. I can't get out of bed by 10 AM to check out...why not just f'n stay HERE and drive to Toronto and back??" we had planned only one day in Toronto anyway. So that's what we did. we thought we were BRILLIANT. side note...we got totally stoned on the way to Toronto and the first place we went to happened to be an HMV, on younge St., with sparkly floors, and they were playing "Darksode" along with the Wizard of Oz and i just about freaked. Very very cool. Thank you. I feel like f'n Dan and jordan with my windy post. but nayh nayh.

Subject: "A lot goes on, but nothing happens..." ...story of my life. pick the lyric, people. i shall be mightily impressed if anyone gets it. jodie, i tried it, but my curtains started smoldering and i hat to throw the water on them, which put out the incense and turned the dirt to mud. poo. matthew, it's nothing but a mere malaise, or blue funk. i'll be out of it shortly. the main problem is that i am stuck in a rut. too much work, and not enough play makes Jordan a dull boy. i haven't a job, either, which precludes my normal method of getting out of these moods, which is to get really, really drunk. and we all know that American Football is only for those people who were unable to deal with a REAL sport, like union or afl. court, the only proxy i can get to your party is you. so that's ok, isn't it? first of all, i'll have a double sambuca, neat.... tavia, it was your amazingly off-topic posts :) that i love! that made me post on the other place. it won't happen again. and my problem is that i do give a shit. about everything. and tim is the man now. Stevie was the man, but he's no longer with us... :( whitlams ROCK! and for finishing notes, the mall performance went very well, we were quite decent, speech night is rolling up quick tho, should be interesting. on a similar note, what's with all these young lassies in the choir throwing themselves at me? actually, one of them is really nice, and i think i could.. maybe... but the problem (and there always is one, isn't there? with me anyhow) is the fact that not only is she 3 years below me in school, and trust me, that's apparently way too young, even though she is like only 2 years younger than me. is it my fault i was precocious? but she is also one of my best friends little sister.... yowch. but she gives the bestest back massages :) this is something i need AdviceTM on people!!! help me..? please? a amazingly confused Jordan (what's new?) and to finish on the note i started on... "Choose a town, find a girl to follow round, stay on track, then just sit back, Still suprise you when it shatters, but nothing matters, Still suprise you when it shatters, don't you know that nothing happens, but a lot goes on..." pick that song!! i wanna know whether you people listen to good aussie songwriters.. answers tomorrow...and i swear that that song is my life story. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

(Ginger was first, but the rest of you are on my list of Cool People so when *I* leave in a torrent of insults, I'll know who to spare.) Speaking of entertaining Canadians, Eric, that's Moxy Früvous! They kicked my booty in concert. They sing lots of songs, like Spiderman, The Kid's Song, I Love My Boss, Michigan Militia, The Drinking Song, etc. I forget which song the quote's from... I'm newly Früvized. Sara: I swear to God, I was just reciting that sketch yesterday... Ya know, people who haven't seen KITH really don't get it... Tavia: I suppose maybe not *all* ozzies can be as yummy as Russell Crowe. And yes, the Whitlams are wonderful. :-) Marcus: Boeing blows. I hear about it every morning on NPR. "Boeing is once again screwing over their employees. This has been Bob Schmob in Seattle." And I think you're just withholding on this CD thing. You just want us squirming with anticipation! Well, that won't work with me, Mister! I can buy other CDs! I can do other things with my life!! Really! BTW, my life kinda blows right now. I have 40 pages of essays to write before Tuesday, 20 of them in Spanish, a 360 page novel to read (in Span), and 30 more pages of essays due in Spanish before the next Tuesday. Wish me luck!! Dan Cohen kicks my butt. (rub her slit on the bass guitar!!)

Take for example...Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground. TheEND played this song around Christmas 1996. The rest of the country didn't catch on until after the 1997 Christmas in early 1998. Whether or not you like the songs, they still play them before you 'hate' them. I don't like theEND anymore either, but they are pioneering. Barbi: I am convinced that Columbus is the best city in Ohio. I go to school at Otterbein College in Westerville, just north of 270 and I go to about 20 shows a year in Columbus. I go down to high street for all the GREAT record shops like Used Kids, Singing Dog, House of Music, and sooo many more. As a matter of fact, I'll be in the Student Union today and tomorrow for an intercollegiate debate tournament. Columbus is the place for me...I hate this Hudson shit. Oh well. That's the first time I have ever swore on the filez. I don't know how I feel about that. Sorry kids. Okay. I think it's time to pack for that tournament...I mean it does start at 4! Ciao!

Dan, have you been out with the 3-d people so that they can pick up on your new 'serenity' - besides, if you perceive that the candle is weird then it definitely will not be doing good things. I suggest, give it a bit longer and the women will be pounding on your door. Of course, like I'm qualified to make these statements, having been single for waaaaaayyy too long. Just find something that make you smile, and you will start to glow. Anyway, off to a party where there are going to be single, goodlooking men - better get rid of this bed-head.........
