Pud it there

<18:00> b1-66er: There's a kid on student J! Who's an absolute monster.

Special K: He'll be my boss soon.

b1: Not the first time you had a ding dong.

Shepards' (other) pie

b1-66er: <pic>

b1-67er: Ewe.

Ghost of red chili

Special K: Do you know this place? 14th & Wadsworth. 

b1-66er: Yes.  Very close to where my Jr. High was.

K: We're eating dinner. I expect a shooting. 

b1: Maybe.

Doesn't detract from the food.

K: Good deal. 

Should I mention you?

b1: Yes.  

Say '"Big Red" sent me.'

K: He just laughed. It was creepy. 

It's possible we're the only Jews in here. 

b1 <15 minutes later>: They already told me.

You are.

Iran, so far away

D4rw1n: Views from my office window today

I estimate about 1200 protesters marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Super well organized. Somebody spent tens of thousands of dollars on flags and uniforms. There are multiple speaker trucks with high-quality loudspeakers broadcasting very clear talking points on regime change in Iran. The chant of the crowd is "what do we want? Regime change in Iran. When do we want it? Now"

b1-66er: Whoa.
Great TXT thread.  I love important at-the-moment updates from you and your city.

D: Thought you'd like it. This would be unremarkable but for the high level of organization. Marchers coming down this street (2000 block of Pennsylvania NW) are a once-a-week phenomenon. But 99% of them are ragtag groups.
These guys have been planning for weeks.

Time's running out!

b1-66er: "The Apple Watch Can Now Track Your Period"

Special K: 4 years later. 

b1: Don't let menopause ruin your joy.

Do you wanna touch me in my rhythm nation?

b1-66er: Janet Jackson looks suspiciously like Gary Glitter.

b1-67er: There's a little Tron meets bride of Frankenstein thing going on there.

66: Yeah there is.

And what's that pubic region all about?

67: It looks like she's ready for an "Escapade"

The city needs to get off his lawn

Sarcasmo: 

I saw that. Fake news. I don't care much for Austin. "Weird" not appealing to me, especially self-consciously weird. A glut of cookie-cutter indie bands in crappy bar. venues, too much alcohol, awful traffic, high housing and food prices, not walkable and barely bike-able. Full of hipsters trying too hard. Extreme weather, lots of bugs. Can't wait to leave.
