side-swype of the moment

all stories get told him to L.A. in the universe.

side-swype of the moment

"everything is good for visiting the electrician on my way to get your sex."

welcome to side-swype

I've used swype for text input on my android phones for years.  it's fast, it's easy.  I haven't measured my speed, but I'll bet I'm in the 35wpm neighborhood for input (my graduating speed from typing class in jr. high, coincidentally enough).  the only REAL problem with it is it requires absolute attention and two hands (yet another way a keyboarded hiptop was better than screen input).

I have a new phone now (samsung galaxy S III ... gotta great deal on it from boost*, $100 new on cyber monday) and have set up something I've never really tinkered with before: word prediction on my swype interactions.  it CAN be faster, but it's mostly clumsy and distracting.

the other day I TXTed special K and instead of writing the phrase I was intending, I just followed the starting word with "interesting" suggestions ... an effect I call side-swyping.

here, for your viewing pleasure, is the world's 1st side-swype:

b1-66er: I'm always glad you can DEFINITELY reset my phone number to Linda.

parentage phrase: "I'm using word prediction on swype."

I'll post some of these over the coming days ... always just hitting special K with some bizarreness.  don't worry, he deserves it.

I'll cut down on them once I'm bored.  it won't take long.

* if you're thinking about boost mobile (cheap pre-paid cellular, running on the sprint network), you get something like $25 (and so do I), for using this referral link:

a new definition of "lost"

b1-67er: It's so weird people gamble to win money but dont care what the odds are. It's like orienteering without a compass.

blazing crosses

b1-66er: who's the world's most famous jew?  jesus?

special K: It ain't Mel Brooks.

what's behind that badge?

the 'grid: No justice no booty.
No booty no peace.

put it on the floor!

b1-66er: I nearly created a riot in my barber shop just now.  they didn't quite get all my neck hair off, so I went back...

a different -but friendly- barber-ess took me.  I said, "i was just here, my neck hair didn't quite get trimmed"....

the girlie started asking questions, I said, "look, i don't care how ratchet you make it.  I just need the hair off so it doesn't look like a weed field"...

the barber says, "EXCUSE ME!?" 

I said, "you heard me." 

she screamed, "I'LL MAKE IT TOE UP FROM THE FLO' UP!"

and the place ERUPTS in absolute chaos.  the woman screams, "DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID!?"

I said, "i almost wish I just had wild hair on me."

and the woman leans in real real close, whispering in my ear, almost nibbling on it, and says in a very very sultry and quiet voice...

"I'm funnier than you."

... nice tie, though ...

the 'grid: No justice no peace.

b1-66er: there's no peace at home.  my housemate's lying down in a DEEP funk (and I don't mean the ohio players kind).  we watched the verdict.  I thought she was going to throw up.

'g: It is an unfortunate decision but to see the ass whores tear up the city is worse in my opinion. It is like the two riots in Los Angeles revisited.

b1: yes.  I've never understood rioting.  (including winning/losing chapionships.)  it seems like it "punishes" unnecessary targets ...
... and fundamentally doesn't help the cause.  having said that, it's not completely clear to me what good the gandhi/king approach is either ...
... not unless you REALLY get on it.  TOTAL black-folk walk-out would be interesting.

'g: I like how Jackson plays the King role but is a race baiter. He perpetuates more shit within the desperate and underserved black communities than does any good.

b1: so right.  he's such a strange man.  being on the same balcony as MLK when he caught a bullet doesn't make you a great man by default...
...it absolutely DOES make you a "near miss."

'g: Yes. He should continue to count his blessings and stop being an ass.

any colour tim likes

special K: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-10-30/tim-cook-im-proud-to-be-gay
b1-66er: yeah, I don't understand that (or why it's news).  as my friend the 'grid said, "gay is the new black."
K: It's news because it's novel, lurid, and Apple.
b1: I've never said I'm proud to be heterosexual. or white. or theist.
I'm NOT proud to be american. I'm actually ashamed of it.  I don't like our overbearing presence on the rest of the world.
K: Go for it.
b1: "go for it" to what end?  to show that all people are different?  to promote disharmony?
to me, I don't consider this to be news ... in the same way I don't consider a rash of break-ins in rock springs, WY to be news.
tim and I have an uneven and predatory relationship.  he tries to sell me an item.  I try to sell him nothing.
K: It's not news to me.
b1: then why are we talking about it?  if he has a horn sticking out of his head, I don't care. 
(and he'll still try to sell me something.)

meme me up

pickles: My friend just texted me an abbreviated version of, "I know, right?!"

depends on your perspective

CJ: Ass bruises really are not sexy :)

what about soylent red?

dr. john: Just had my screening colonoscopy. Sorry. No photos. But, but as I was laying there on the gurney listening to soothing music and they were starting to push the anesthetic I had this urge to yell out "Soylent Green is people!  Soylent Green is people..."

no, this bus isn't fast enough

rider on the deuce: "is this the bus that keeps getting longer and longer?"

wash with crimson tide

b1-66er: I really really don't understand sports mentality.  the older I get, the less I understand it.

solid goldstein: On one level it is rooting for laundry

monitoring the crack

b1-66er: there's a jewish take-away point here that is very very odd.  read 4 paragraphs from the bottom ...

http://m.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2014/1011/What-10-000-White-House-docs-say-about-Bill-and-Hillary-Clinton

special K: The Barak thing? It seemed pretty innocuous to me.

b1: you are smokin' crack if you don't think that rich thing is just riddled with slime.

1. you could argue that rich wasn't really even american...at least not in the way you and I are (wasn't born here, didn't live here).

2. why does the head of israel care ANYTHING about financial clemency for an american?

3. name ANY time the head of state of another government has had a PERSONAL REQUEST (not a request made by "his people") DIRECTLY to the prez.

there's really only 2 things at work here: money and religion.  I'm not sure which is bigger in this case.

if hussein had been asking for clemency for cat stevens, your eyebrows would be raised back to your neck.

(and that comparison may look absurd on the surface, but it's actually nearly identical.)

K: I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant it was odd of the CSM to mention it.

b1: oh.

then you're not smoking crack.

the wrong way home

me:  I get on the bus from salt lake city to las vegas. 

friendly guy behind me - "where're you goin'?"

me - "vegas.  how 'bout you?"

guy - "gallup."

m - "that's a long way.  what takes you there?"

g - "my son was murdered."

m - "OH!  that's terrible!  what happened?"

g - "FBI doesn't know.  bodies are still in the morgue in Albuquerque."

I won't ask what the legal tablet's for

dr. bob: Hopefully our football bets win

b1-66er: I wouldn't bet on it.

Keith Olbermann Done

b1-66er: "In one twist that hardly fit, however, Jeter's home finale was the

only game he ever played at Yankee Stadium with his team already knocked

out of the playoff race." I actually saw the end of that game.  which if you know me well is truly astounding...

I was in a bar during happy hour.  no sound.  I never see TV with sound.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/09/keith-olbermann-derek-jeter-espn

Special K: Yes, that's amazing.

Have you seen Keith olbermann's take on Jeter?

b1: no.  I don't know who KO is.

K: Super opinionated long time sports broadcaster who helped put ESPN on the

map.

b1: would I recognize his voice?

K: Maybe. Probably not, because as you said you generally see TV with the

sound off I bet you'd recognize his face.

by the way, Apple has really improved speech to text. {no doubt they'll claim they invented it ... even though i worked on it 25 years ago at AAPL ... and 10 years before that at my university on a DECtalk -ed} I'm using it a now.

b1: I watched that clip you sent until it exploded.  I know that guy.  he's a

hamfisted grand stander.  he's a dick, almost by definition.

K: Yes, but he's often annoyingly right.

b1: but he's trying to be.  he had that snarky modern characteristic of

cracking up his TV production staff.  that's a today show thing.

K: Massive ego.

b1: speaking of dick's, that woman who wrote that excellent iphone snooping

article wrote me back.

K: no.  it's all fake.

He is truly, truly an asshole.

I don't usually think I know personal truths about a famous person, but

this time I do.

b1: I'm not at all convinced.  his style and manner feels like steve

colbert.  it's just as bad.  it's just as un-funny.  he's presenting.  it's a style.  if you think it's anything deeper, that's just wrong.  it's hit-you-over-the-head realism.  one of the things that disgusts me about the US is people take stuff like this seriously...

K: It's both. it's a character who's an asshole, and the person is an asshole.

b1: there's no subtlety.  and why should the people presenting bother?  americans wouldn't get it.  they wouldn't promote it.  they wouldn't understand it.

it's exactly like the difference between the american version of the office and the british version.  it's what makes the brits stand out in the english speaking humorous rank and americans a third place also-ran.

he is whatever he is (i actually truly don't care), but 1st and foremost he's a product.

which is actually perfect, because sports is nothing more than a big business anyway.

he's a casino marquee.  flash that represents nothing.

K: Sure. He's on commercial TV. He's there to sell ads.

b1: exactamente.  having said that, those bullheaded E coasters -especially sports fans- aren't bright enough to know that...you say that kind of crap?  you'll get death threats.  someone might actually try to make good on it.

K: He's had them. He's playing for them. He's also been a pure political commentator in some of his jobs.

b1: yeah, whatever.  I feel about him the same way I feel about sarah palin's political commentary.  it doesn't matter, it's not important...

your brain's plastic.  it's formed by the things you think about.

repetitive thinking gives your reasoning its shape...you, more than any person I know, represents that (shown perfectly in our discussions of the importance of databases ... how they are so much more important to society than AAPL products and how you completely don't understand that)...

the most interesting thing about KO, I think (and I admit, not that's there's much competition in that contest), is why would you think about him and what he has to say...when clearly 

A) that's what he wants (he wants in your mind -- he wants you to think about him) and 

B) you could be thinking about something else.

if he came up and just asked you for $5, you wouldn't give it to him...so why do you give him something more valuable -- namely your mind and your time?

(and I don't mean "you, special K," I mean the public at large.)

K: Because I'm tired of the Jeter parade and this clip has been going around.

b1: okay, great.  would you feel differently if you were a Y's fan?

K: yes. I'd hate that clip.

b1: (by the way, until I watched your clip, I didn't know how you pronounced "jeter."  I thought it was JET-ter.)  oh.  kay.  so what's the point of it?  just to stir controversy?

K: Yes, and he hates the Y's.

b1: okay, good for everyone involved.  good for you.  good for him.  good for

Y's fans who need something to rally behind in a bad season.

btw, who IS the greatest SS of all time?

K: Honus Wagner for sure.

b1: no wonder his baseball card is worth so much.

{my apologies to anyone reading this for promoting the importance of KO and taking away time from your life -that you'll never get back- that could have been used for something else.}

maternal doublespeak

{this is a phone conversation with my mom.}

b1-66er: i talk to my brother all the time.  sometimes email, mostly TXT.

mom: well that's good, that's okay.

b1: oh, well i'm so glad you approve!

mom: i was just indicating that i understood what you were saying.  that wasn't a comment of appraisal or approval.   <pauses> although it was both!

the trick is to not let your mind bend over

special K: Steve Jobs never built anything. But he was the master of Jedi mind tricks. The Charles Manson of consumer electronics. 

I put him in a group with Manson, Disney, and Werner Erhard. The mindfuckers.

fairy good

b1-66er: 1st ever EDM on the bellagio fountains tonight.  tiesto @ 19:00.

b1-66er: did you get attacked by a cougar over the weekend?

special K: Please don't talk about momma K that way.

it depends on your definition of "every"

{last week, pickles and I were in a club in LV.  seated immediately behind us was JJ "die-no-mite" walker.  I had to explain who he was, as well as his hugeness in the early 70s ... then I went to a concert at the cannery today, and saw this poster.}

b1-66er: notice the last bill.

pickles: Nice one!!!

b: 1 week ago, there was no JJ walker ... now he's everywhere.

p: Maybe he heard you talking about him.

b: god, I hope so.

p: You can believe it until you hear otherwise.

b: just like god.
there's an overly cool hispanic teenager here with a turn-your-head-into-Pikachu hat.

p {who's been obsessively playing a 15 year old handheld re-found pokemon for the last fortnight}: Hahahaha nice one.

b: 2 weeks ago there was no pokemon, now it's everywhere.

p: Or you didn't notice it.

b: same thing.
everything is everywhere.  always.  it's the definition of everything.

hey, what're those stars on the wall for with the eagle in it?

special K: It's official now. http://goo.gl/NsTIQg
"Megan, it's Barack." He called to offer her the job.

b1-66er: "who?"
you've gotta admit, "CTO of the united states of america" is a huge job title.

K: It ain't Burger King.

b1: super-well played.
so good, I can't even smile or laugh.
"the next level."

b1-66er: http://fabricashop.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-beautiful-gene

ever notice how I don't go around telling people "i have red hair!  I have red hair!"...

even though there's an active effort to eliminate "my kind" from the human species?

special K: I suggest getting your own country. That tends to work out great.

b1: will it make me mention I'm redheaded to you more often?

K: Required.

don't be an S

special K: The Shoop Shoop Song.

b1: the shoop shoop song sucks sucks.

hey, what's that star on the wall for?

b1-66er: Gael García Bernal has described himself as "culturally Catholic but spiritually Agnostic."
now THAT is a great description.  you need to develop a similar tagline for yourself.

special K: In 4th grade I told my Hebrew school teacher I was culturally Jewish but I didn't believe in the rituals. He wanted to kill me.

b1: good for BOTH you.

gimme 50 cents, kitty! gimme 50 cents!

K: Oh! I haven't seen that.
Does it have an obscenity filter?

b1: of course.

K: Fuck.

b1: that's why.

... but those people DO look good

b1-66er: irony and sarcasm are tools of the uninspired and weak.

... and now a word from medicine ...

the great and mighty richardo: unfortunately there is always a long answer in medicine but usually not as informative as the short answer.

solid goldstein on vasectomies: Surprisingly unpainful operation. Considering they stick 2 needles in your scrotum...

b1: yeah.  that's what I'm thinking...unless you're whacked on seeing a double.

K: No. That's too big a rip off even for me.

special K: I was just in Google's anechoic chamber.

b1-66er: coooool.  why and how was it?

K: Recording voice samples for voice reco group.
Very cool. Giant baffles, metal mesh floor with baffles underneath, thick walls.

b1: oooh.

K: I was aware of how loud I was swallowing.

b1: it's about fricken time.

you'll absolutely love the second act

special K: ... And I started writing a play.

b1-66er: what's your play?

K: Something about Silicon Valley as a strange and important place with weird smart people.

b1: oh.

K: "write what you know."

b1: it's not, "play what you know."

K: or "play with your self"

cap'n happy: Sushi sat?

b1-66er: sushi saturday doesn't work...I'll be back in LV.

CH: Too bad for you. Could be the best you get had. I know the owner and chef very well but only happens on sat.

Fing auto correct.   Best you ever hard

Muther fucker!

for the love of godzilla

b1-66er: just saw the new "godzilla."  not as good as I was expecting.

b1-67er: Well it IS a Godzilla movie.

66: yeah, but that doesn't mean it has to be bad.

67: The only problem I had with it was bringing Godzilla back to life at the end.  Great cinematography.  The right amount of monster fighting. Killing the chief engineer early was surprising but good.

66: you said the best godzilla comment once years ago... "you don't need an excuse or a reason to bring godzilla back...you just do it."

67: Oh yes. This is an important component to All monster movies.

66: what?  are people NOT going to see the next G pic because you did NOT put a sequel hook in it?
"oh no, I refuse to go see the next giant monster with a radioactive power plant inside because their reason for it being alive doesn't seem real enough."

66: Right.  And this is like the 37th Godzilla. Do they really need to tip their hand that there will be another one?  How dense do they think we are?

brain hail

I know this is pretty crazy, but I have no other choice. I am in desperate need of a time machine. Say what you will, but believe it or not this is a very serious request. I do not just want to leave this city but to traverse the timeline. This is not a want but a sincere need, and I will not take no for an answer. Please do not respond with insensitive remarks. I have dealt with too much of that as well. No watches, clocks or replicas of any type (i.e., DeLoreans, H.G. Wells inventions, etc.). No jokes, pranks and/or traps. I am looking for the real m-f'in thing! I am asking in good faith. I do not believe that there is anything good that can come if I stay here any longer. And I have no patience for B.S. I will not send you any other information unless I know you are serious...and real. This is an impassioned plea to fix the mistakes that I've made.

If you are able to help me out, please reply to the email above.

b1-66er: the newest weapon in my arsenal: "if you're against the arabs, you're anti-semitic."

special K: Literally true but silly.

b1: you say that only because of your background.
it helps bring home the point of tolerance.

K:  I think it's generally accepted meaning. We could ask 10 strangers.

b1: oh there's no doubt. but that doesn't mean that what they believe is true...
...just because they think and believe it.

K: And what is truth?
Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths.
Are mine the same as yours?

b1: no. truth is definition. the definition of semite. it is, very truly, that simple. anything else is a complication you are adding.

K: Meanings change. E.g. terrific, fantastic, gay, awful.

b1: oh, well you be sure to tell me when the OED says it means exclusively all things judaic, fuzzy.

b1-67er (sic): (1/2) My wife always gets year end summaries from the pharmacies. The mail-in pharmacy sent her a copy off a computer screen. It actually shows their profit margin.

This is a mail-in pharmacy, cheaper than local.  Guess the percent profit.   ....    Wait for it.....

94% of the price is profit.

special K: Note prominent dogcow ref. http://priceonomics.com/the-woman-behind-apples-first-icons/?curator=MediaREDEF

b1-66er: several interesting things about that article.
no mention of magic.
susan continues to continually rewrite history and claim damn near everything about the dogcow...when *i* am the one who made all that stuff up.
she's also violating a ™ by selling the image.

K: I think a she must have permission or Apple would shut her down.

b1: I'll bet apple don't know they have the ™.  mark johnson applied for it.
bet you ANYTHING.

K: Maybe she has a blanket approval.

b1: from steve.  to sell anything of apple's.  with no approval and no money back.

K: Yeah.

b1: when did you become a susan kare apologist?  she's bitchy in exactly the same way all those early mac people are...
the only one who isn't is joanna.  and she wants to be.

K: The early Mac people all bear Steve's imprint.

b1: yes.

K: Just speculating,

b1: well put away spec-o-K and bring back special K.

in your dreams

solid goldstein: Just woke from a very weird dream with you in it. You had a large rounded seventies RV in classic tan and brown you were driving through the northern part of the country.

I was riding along and looked out the window and asked where we were. I wondered if we were in Michigan but it looked a bit too western.

The weird part is that the RV was equipped with automatic driving.  I looked over at a certain point and realized you were napping and the RV was driving itself. The windows were "blacked out" with snap on tan colored naugahyde covers. (Everything in this monstrosity was High Seventies and nothing was modernized but the auto driving) so it seemed like we were careening down the road blind in a box.

The seats were wide and flat and another shade of tan. Yours was down flat like a bed. In a panicked voice I asked you who was driving. You said it was the automatic driving and suggested I come over and see from the drivers seat. I went over, unsnapped the cover and saw we were going 65 down a rural road in the foothills.

Sure enough, the RV seemed to be driving itself as it whizzed by the cars coming the opposite direction. I asked how it sensed the center line and you didn't have an answer, and said so in a slightly annoyed and unconcerned voice, which seemed unlikely considering the fact that we were CAREENING down the highway in an RV that was the automotive equivalent of Sanford and Son.

I couldn't get used to the weirdness of it driving itself. It just seemed like a crime against nature. Eventually we got to an urban area, and it was indeed Michigan in spite of the fact just minutes ago we were in a landscape more suited to Montana.

We slowed for a light and I heard some rap music and the song was repeating the phrase "Pussa, Pussa,  Pussa". I opened the side door and there was a guy sitting on the median who grabbed my arm and yelled "Pussa, Pussa,  Pussa!" and cackled hysterically. I fought him off and we drove on.

You said "I feel like playing some roulette" and we found our way to a a scuzzy casino and went into the coffee shop,  which like the RV did not seem to be updated since the seventies.

Somehow, you had acquired a guy in his early twenties who seemed to be related to a friend of yours. He really didn't have his shit together and you were somehow supposed to impart your wisdom to him.

He didn't seem to have any money at all and we looked at the menu and he said he couldn't even afford a coke. You looked at the menu and said "well, it is three figures after all" and I glanced down and saw that indeed a coke was $1.30, though I thought the phrasing was ...unusual.

I started to describe my crazy poker night I played the Wednesday before including the game "Bob Dole" which was Texas hold em where the SECOND best hand wins.  Ironically this was the only part of the dream based in reality as I did indeed play Bob Dole on Wednesday.  You started to figure out the strategy on how you might play Bob Dole and.......cut.

Hey, I just dream them.

b1-66er: pussa.

which means all *i* produce is...

b1: you are the head and the 1st hump of the 24 HO dromedary.  I'm the back hump and the ass.

K: 4 legs good, 2 legs bad.

b1: that's easy to say when YOU are the one that gets to eat.

it's not what you do, it's how you don't do it ...
