Token_Tennis_Fan

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

Token_Tennis_Fan

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo:

But then he said "it's saying too much to say that I usually go to places with picture menus," which I took to mean that he usually dates girls that he sees pictures of before he meets, ala Myspace, Facebook or a dating site.

Give me SOME credit, I know how to follow a metaphor.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Yea, I was originally talking about women, but I mistook your comment. On the other hand, it allows me to share the French Laundry of women: [maximonline.com]

not sure if it speaks more about the joker or the jokee

/not a heath ledger reference

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: i was going to say that. again.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: breaking it down: looking at pictures of me was allowed, though he had a gf, because you can look at a menu even if you're not going to act on something that looks appealing. my pictures, picture menu? following?

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah):

Female equivalent of a Denny's = 20 dollar hooker, I'd assume.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo:

Trust me, I remember the scandalous pictures. Though none of them were nearly scandalous enough for my tastes.

@TattooedMess(iah):

I understood that much, but I didn't get the pictures on the menu bit, because I thought you were talking about women, not restaurants.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Guhhh, I don't think I want to know. I'm just confusing myself now.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: Man, I miss out on everything.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah):

Ah, okay. But what is the female equivalent of a Denny's?

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: let's just say the cowgirl picture was the least scandalous of my campaign...

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: would you prefer spaghetti and meatball? you are more comfortable with that analogy?

sorry - that had nothing to do with anything other than your comment reminded me of that classic classic line from that masterpiece of modern american cinema

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Also, the metaphor was that since I have a girlfriend, I can't touch but I can still enjoy the view.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: my other tumblr i had set up during the tournament with me and not much clothing.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: I wasn't aware of it until the second round. What, exactly, did you do?

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Wendy's/Denny's/Chili's

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc:

And by analogy I mean metaphor. Bleh.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah):

I'm not getting the analogy. Pictures on the menu....Myspace/Facebook?

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): i applaud you for carrying that metaphor through to the end.

but i am easily impressed with all things literary, as i don't even know what assonance means

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: yeah... i didn't even know about this bracket thing until about 28 mins ago. i've missed so much.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: I just looked at it when you were in the tournament. Just because I've already ordered (for now) doesn't mean I can't look at the menu. And admitting that the places I usually eat have pictures on the menu is admitting a little much, though I'm a student with 70 grand to pay back starting 6 months after I graduate.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: i honestly hadn't been there before. but had i been, i would've got you.

there was a title on that webpage?

Ew, I'd really rather not compare myself to Harry Potter. I have a lot more in common with Batman.

racistmascot_inc

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: *shrugs* probably. which means i should probably update it since more than my close friends are looking at it....

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @PQ Crash:

Eh, not as scene and whiny, but a bit more depressing.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: If I said "cowgirl," would that help?

/creepy

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: same assonance.

@TattooedMess(iah): it's all about the truthiness.

@racistmascot_inc: rough segue, but it would be dramatic. you could compare yourself to harry potter?

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: I missed angst and depression? Like 15,000 teenagers hanging out at the Seattle Center listening to Courtney Love read Kurt Cobain's suicide note type of angst and depression?

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: argh. YOU are not on trial here, young lady. The other, mostly irrational and impossible to talk to women ARE.

@racistmascot_inc: no, i happen to have friends that don't seem to care that what they have is the exact opposite of that.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

It's not really an easy subject to transition into.

"Hey, nice to meet you, welcome to Deadspin. Want to hear about my dead parents?"

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: OK, yeah, I had no hope at that one. It was a good effort, though.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: Having been to your website that has your name printed on it, it makes sense. Then again, I don't have time for this "logic" nonsense. Facts are not welcome here either.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: see? communication. i would never have called you entitled had i known your whole, tragic background. which i now do, so i won't make the same mistake again.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @PQ Crash: i think so. but i didnt read em either.

@kataroo_kangaroo: i guess it can be a long A. but does the kat- part really rhyme with the kang- part? im having some trouble there

@Token_Tennis_Fan: we were promised there'd be no homework

You missed all of the angst and depression, but spot on otherwise.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc:

Which is why I was mad when Kat called me entitled. I'm not entitled, I just have a Statue of Liberty-sized chip on my shoulder. Which is very uncomfortable at times.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: Gordie Howes sons Mark and Marty both played in the NHL, but never to the standard set by their father. Thus, it can be said that Gordie played better than his seed.

You see, seed is a homonym that can also mean... ah forget it. Bad pun. My bad.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: this would explain why i am constantly referred to as "kat". huh. i need to tell my dad he's been misspelling my nickname all these years...

/no one else looked at her blog?

Token_Tennis_Fan

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: rhymes with kangaroo. hence the combo.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: That's rough, man. Talk about growing up fast.

@kataroo_kangaroo: And here I've been thinking it's CAT-a-roo. Though given the cat hatred, I should've known better.

TattooedMess(iah)

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: heh, you are assuming (wrongly) that employing logic in any dust-up between the two would a) matter and b) lead to him winning the fight...neither of those things have ever happened between a man and a woman.

@racistmascot_inc: in a stereotypical sense, maybe those are considered "masculine" traits, but I don't think of them as such. I think of them as good human traits to have. I'm hoping that I'll eventually find a woman who has those traits.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

Ah, I guess you channeled the anger from being made fun of into exercising, whereas I channeled it into my writing. Though after 9th grade, no one really made fun of me anymore. About anything.

I have inherited seasonal affective disorder and clinical depression (and OCD, and ADHD, and Tourettes....), but I also lost both parents by age 15. My parents were going to get divorced, but it never happened.

racistmascot_inc

@Token_Tennis_Fan: booooo [/bubble hockey sound-effect]

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: nite!

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: It's a daytime bias. That and no national TV.

Ironically, #1 Suss is from a MAC school like I am... I actually knew who he was before Deadspin came to be. He dated a friend of mine and she would have me ready his humor columns to see how funny he was. I didn't laugh.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Eh, I mean my parents got divorced right after my 8th birthday, I got made fun of for being a fat kid when I was younger (until about high school, actually). Mostly, though, it's the family history of mental illness that ranges from seasonal depression to bi-polar, schizophrenic, paranoid sociopaths.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: not taking the bait.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> And I'm off too, it's pretty late. Nite everyone.

Brazil Thrill

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: but, this way he at least tried to talk about it, which holds a whole can of worms at bay. it's better to make the effort than just be like "shut it down." later he can say "no, i tried to talk about this, and you weren't will to discuss it with me". always cover your bases.

@TattooedMess(iah): agreed. new topic: so how 'bout them... uh... latest flava of love contestants? nothing says classy like flava flave!

Well, she isn't the perfect woman because she doesn't like cats.

But the whole logical, sensisble, not ruled by emotion deal, that's being "more like a man."

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: It appears we're getting all of the MIA commenters back. Which is great, you can't win with a team full of rookies and no veteran leadership.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Honestly, it's more whiny than angsty. And like... philosophical? I dunno, maybe some of it isn't do bad. Yeah, it probably is. I still write, though. Hopefully I've gotten better.

What was your excuse for being so fucked up?

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> Alright everyone. I have to attempt some sleep so I can be somewhat functional at work tomorrow. Hoping it's but a matter of days before I can bring a drink to the DU!AN table once again.

Becky_MI

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: exactly. this is the point im making...there's no way to actually "fix" the situation because she's going to be what she's going to be so he's going to have to deal with that. i don't really believe that people truly change behavior as a result of direct conversation about said behavior..i mean in certain small ways this is possible, sure..."i don't like when you say this kind of thing" or "i wish you'd leave the toilet seat down," etc.

But when one is exhibiting stalker-ish or too-serious tendencies? those aren't going to change because you call her out on it. the only way she'll learn is through subtle means....cutting down the visits/phone calls/dates, whatever.

@racistmascot_inc: no, I'm saying she's more like...the perfect woman in that sense.

but dont tell her i said that. dont want her getting a big head.

notthequarterback

Haha, totally. Except I was never in a "clique," I liked being hopelessly depressed on my own.

@TattooedMess(iah):

Most of us who are depressed still don't go that far, though.

@Token_Tennis_Fan:

Hey, if you think you can out-angst me, e-mail it, I promise I won't share it. But seriously, you're up against a volcano of teeage angst. this is all past tense, of course; nothing written now, just stuff from HS.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): my parents *were* genuinely concerned about me my senior year when my good friend actually did try to kill herself during first block (ap physics, yay!) and they found out that i was the one all my actually fucked up friends had been confiding in, and even though i had told guidance counselors i was legitimately concerned for this girl, they did nothing. trust me, holding up your friend as she's puking and overdosing is a good way to not want to do the same thing to yourself. luckily, my physics teacher is awesome and like another parent to me and was able to help sort things out with the school and the kids and counselors.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> Kat, here's what you're up against. I wrote this days before my 16th birthday. Here is an excerpt:

"I felt it again today; the burgeoning darkness inside me, sprawling, gasping for air. Everyone tells me to fight it, to crush it and sow salt in its fields, but I refuse; what would they think if they knew that I wanted to feed it, to nurture it? What if they knew that I wanted evil, despair and madness to be born anew within my breast?"

Yeah, beat that.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): the problem is that kataroo is abnormally sane and rational as compared to some of her brethren (sistern?) and so it sounds like dealing with bullshit is not something she does well or expects her man to do well.

as we all know, she is a distinct minority among single women in the real world.

notthequarterback

Yeah, even with the natural advantage of being a teenage girl, you're just at too much of a handicap to compete.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: The only "good" breakup I ever had, the guy was honest. We were young at the time, before he learned about lying I guess. :) We had a Dawson's Creek breakup, where we talked about how much "future" there really could be at 17, and how it was silly to expect so much of each other. Hugged, cried, kissed goodbye.

Just drunk posted on his MySpace the other night and we had a nice little exchange. Still love that guy, even though I don't know him anymore.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: I'm from a 1950s, white picket fence, leave it to beaver household/family. its hard to be angsty when your biggest reason for angst is that your parents make you pay for your car insurance (but not for your car or the gas).

@kataroo_kangaroo: Sounds like the next MTV hit!

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: I agree with you on the communication thing. The worst thing for a relationship is that passive-aggressive bullshit. I've been on the receiving end of that way too often.

Brazil Thrill

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Yeah, I feel special because I've had it the whole time. I was in on the cult from the beginning. Hardest effing game, though. Ridic.

@Brazil Thrill: He has.

@notthequarterback: Hmmm... I need to ponder on this.

Is that supposed to be angsty? That sounds like the LEAST caustic and insane thing I wrote ages 13-17. Seriously.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: Well, it's a little hardwired in our DNA, but not all of us want to take the same road. Keep that in mind!

@Brazil Thrill: Well, I like you both! Plus, you have a cute dog.

Becky_MI

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): maybe get some friends to wear white coats and come stage an institutionalization with you while you are with your woman? that would give her the hint quickly...

@kataroo_kangaroo: what's he going to tell her that would help? "honey, stop freaking me the fuck out?"

women are more likely to pick up on subtle clues; men are more likely to handle blunt communication. anytime a woman can be blunt and a man can be subtle, a ton of progress has been made. i defy you to find a guy here who has "been honest" about a relationship problem where it hasn't blown up in his face. any takers? token tennis fan?

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: what is this seeding thing? keep in mind i've been out of the loop for a few months

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: ahem:

Today is a good day. No demons, no darkness, no lies. It's dangerous right now for me to be in this state of mind, with the loneliness and anger lurking right beneath my conciousness, ready to pull me back down into their spiraling black hole. Today I'm strong though, and I can resist. I need to take this risk. I need to get my story out. If I don't, if I keep it bottled up in me, I slowly become less and less of who I was and become more and more of who I'm afraid I am. So I write.

I was probably just PMSing, or mad at myself for not answering an interview question a certain way. I am a drama queen.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: So they're subpar benefits, like a cheap HMO? Yeah, he should be moving on.

@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: Just apply cream to it. That usually answers most of life's questions.

@Becky_MI: Yeah, I'm way overseeded (no homo!). There's no way I'm beating Matt_T, and I shouldn't either.

Brazil Thrill

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Becky_MI: I am of the opinion that women are always looking down the line... I just don't want them saying it.

@kataroo_kangaroo: Ouch. Not that I wrote it that way, but I am a wannabe poet...

Ooh, ZAMN, good choice.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: how would the line before that read?
would it have to do with conformists?

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: Yea, I'm keeping an eye on him. Good news is a re-transplant could fix him, but waiting on a list could kill him. It's day to day sometimes.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: No. No.No.No. BE HONEST. Serioulsy. 84.3% of relationship issues could be avoided with good communication. people just forget that.

@Token_Tennis_Fan: "people dither, and i get left twisting in the wind" sounds like a solid ending to an angsty high school kids journaled poetry (not that i would know...)

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: This is an interesting theory. I have so many crazy ex's I could just draw a little from each of them. Of course then I might get a visit form the men in white jackets, but that'd be a built in excuse.

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: That was the kind of comment that got you a one seed. Heh.

Becky_MI

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: valid point. i guess ill keep the question i was about to ask to myself then.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah):

I hope you get to say goodbye, because that was one thing that really ate me up inside.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): Well, like I said, there's a certain amount of forward looking a girl will do, but to be planning that much and that far ahead with someone you've dated a month is a track I would be leery of going down with her. If she can handleeasing things up, great. If not, better now than when the train stops at Crazytown.

Becky_MI

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: It's one thing when a girl casually mentions the boyfriend once during conversation to let me know that she's unavailable (or not interested, which is fine too) but I've seen too many cases of "boyfriend this boyfriend that."

@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: As long as we don't mix it all up and make relationship jokes while giving out dick advice.

Brazil Thrill

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: i accept at least 1% of the responsibility. 2% tops.

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @TattooedMess(iah): well you can certainly out-crazy her. just beat her at her own game. it can be done, friend.

notthequarterback

TattooedMess(iah)

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: LTTP on the Game Boy. But I have Street Fighter, NBA Jam, Mario Kart... and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

@kataroo_kangaroo: I've never had to break up with anyone before (they always dump me), but that seems to be the best way. Again, that's how I'd want tit to go. But people dither, and I get left twisting in the wind.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc:

I'm hoping things are just loading slowly and I didn't kill the mood. I felt I phrased it very delicately.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @notthequarterback: She already has names. Yea. And for all 3 she wants, too.

@kataroo_kangaroo: @Becky_MI: Decisions, decisions. But it's nice being able to get more opinions on this.

Hey, no big man, you weren't the only one who didn't know. Actually, nobody knew.

racistmascot_inc

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: You wouldn't want any benefits from her. But yeah, that's why. Kind of sad, because he was clearly done with her emotionally and even liked someone else.

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @racistmascot_inc: sorry man. [takes foot out of mouth, er, off of keyboard]

Sir Hotbod Handsomeface

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: AMEN to that. Nothing worse than hearing some bitch or some douche drone on about what their significant other does. Have some fucking independence, already.

I don't mean to come off as bitter, it would be great to be dating someone right now..but there's absolutely no need.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Sir Hotbod Handsomeface:

Depending on your religion, possibly.

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: It could be that the only reason he was putting up with her was just so he could get some in a regular basis. But that's what friends with benefits are for.

Brazil Thrill

Token_Tennis_Fan

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Brazil Thrill: behind the scenes, working on a campaign, hopefully. fundraising is where my training and experience is, but i'd reallyreallyreally like to do the pr side of things- ideal job: speechwriter or press secretary.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan:

Good choice. Do you have Super Punch-Out and/or LTTP?

racistmascot_inc

]]> <![CDATA[Goodnight, Knight]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: that would make a catchy song.

@TattooedMess(iah): I think your choices are to cut yourself away from her a tad (even though it might be too late for that) or, if you want to scare her away, give her a taste of her own medicine. Start naming the kids she imagines the two of you having. Call her 30 times a day. Show up unannounced and declare your undying love for her. That should send her packing in no time.
