Clueless
Insult
by: Michelle Malkin – NY Post
DO YOU remember when immigration officials sent out flight-school visa-ap proval notices for two of the 9/11 hijackers ” six months after they had committed their suicide attacks on America?
President Bush proclaimed his outrage, four federal immigration officials were reassigned, and Washington vowed that such embarrassing bureaucratic snafus would never happen again. I’m sorry to report that it has, in fact, happened again.
On Jan. 15, immigration officials sent a notice to Eugueni Kniazev of Brooklyn. The letter informs Kniazev, a Siberian immigrant, that he is now “deemed to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States.” The notice directs Kniazev to obtain a new alien registration receipt card (a “green card”), and instructs him to appear at the immigration office at 26 Federal Plaza with his passport and three recent photos.
The letter warns Kniazev not to travel outside the United States without approval.
But Eugueni Kniazev won’t be appearing at Federal Plaza. He won’t be traveling anywhere. Kniazev, 47, was an employee of Windows on the World on the 107th floor of the North Tower. He was murdered in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Just how clueless are our paper-pushers?
People just get caught up in the system of paper in the office of beaurocrats. We can’t really expect them to cross-reference the names in the Citizenship and Immigration Services’ records with the names of those deceased on 9/11, can we? Or even the names of deceased, otherwise?
We couldn’t even expect them to cross-reference the names with those who are the list of known/suspected/dead terrorists . . what makes anyone think that they are going to reference anything of lesser importance?
Eugueni Kniazev’s family hopes his case will lead to reform ” and his case is only the tip of the incompetence iceberg:
* The nation’s various fingerprint databases still have not been integrated because of bickering among FBI, State Department and DHS officials. Most visitors entering the country still aren’t thoroughly screened for terrorist or criminal ties.
* There is still no system in place for notifying investigators about stolen passports, which led the DHS inspector general to conclude last month that foreigners using fraudulent documents have “little reason to fear being caught.”
* The long-delayed entry-exit tracking system for foreign visitors ” in the works for nearly a decade ” has still not been implemented fully.
* There is still no systematic tracking of illegal alien felons.
* And while millions of legal applicants deal with paperwork backlogs and mishaps that take years to resolve, the White House supports granting “temporary guest worker” status to upward of 20 million illegal aliens ” a move that rank-and-file officers say will lead to rampant fraud and even greater bureaucratic overload.

[...] ates America. Its funny, kind of sad and think about the previous thesis as you watch it. Right Voices has a round up of Michele Malkin’s column in the NY Post. Over at Unciv [...]
January 26, 2005 - 05:21 PM on January 26th, 2005
This just strenthens my position that we need to tear these organizations down and re-build them from scratch.
January 26, 2005 - 05:31 PM on January 26th, 2005
That would be a great place to start, peejz – - however I don’t ever see that happening. I find it amazing how much money and time is spent on creating numerous databases and none of them really seem to be utilized.
January 26, 2005 - 05:40 PM on January 26th, 2005
2- What I find amazing is, out of all the data bases, none are inter-connected. The right hand has no idea what the left is doing! Will it happen, no!:sad:
January 26, 2005 - 07:36 PM on January 26th, 2005
I remember when they issued public service announcements every year reminding resident aliens they needed to re-registration. That seems fair. Whoever let that law lapse should be publicly scorned.
For the rest of issues mentioned, we need to give agencies deadlines after which a new agency will be given the responsibility, the cost paid out of the old agency’s budget.
January 27, 2005 - 08:18 PM on January 27th, 2005
OKAY!!! LET’S MOVE HERE!
Continue with buckets and flirting.
January 27, 2005 - 08:20 PM on January 27th, 2005
What, mine wasn’t good enough for ya? I somehow thought the Jerry Springer one was appropriate!
January 27, 2005 - 08:22 PM on January 27th, 2005
This seems to be more appropriate for us!:grin:
January 27, 2005 - 08:24 PM on January 27th, 2005
7-Well I can relate!:grin:
January 27, 2005 - 08:27 PM on January 27th, 2005
dammit will someone make up my mind???
January 27, 2005 - 08:30 PM on January 27th, 2005
9- Stay here lee! It seems to fit!:smile: Get yourself ready for next weeks 1st loss of the season!:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 08:34 PM on January 27th, 2005
OK! This does seem to fit my blonde-ness
Yep, keep that dream alive; I’d hate for you to spend your whole weekend fretting over your impending doom 
Hey, I’m closing in on Sandy for the #8 spot; if this goes long enough I might just overtake her!
January 27, 2005 - 08:38 PM on January 27th, 2005
11-I thought the name was a nice touch!. I would be careful bout talking too much smack though!:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 08:38 PM on January 27th, 2005
Hi Navy Sis!:smile:
January 27, 2005 - 08:41 PM on January 27th, 2005
12-How do you define too much smack? I figure at my age why stop now; it’s all or nothing baby!!!
Hey sis, we’re over here now!!!
shiloh, come on over and root for BC all you want. Of course, they’re only undefeated because of an easy schedule; they’re nowhere near the caliber of Illinois! Or even those Spartans for that matter
January 27, 2005 - 08:41 PM on January 27th, 2005
Ok, is this the final answer? Does buck stop here?
January 27, 2005 - 08:43 PM on January 27th, 2005
15- Yes Navy! Sit back and enjoy! Your services will be needed on Tuesday. Lee will be inconsolable:razz::smile:
January 27, 2005 - 08:43 PM on January 27th, 2005
London broil. Grilled chicken. All of a sudden the chili mac I’m munching on looks so dull!
Yeah, I think we’re staying here now
January 27, 2005 - 08:43 PM on January 27th, 2005
13- Hey there Peejz!:grin:
January 27, 2005 - 08:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
Her services
January 27, 2005 - 08:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
Hey that wasn’t the smiley I clicked on! I clicked on
!!
January 27, 2005 - 08:45 PM on January 27th, 2005
Something funny going on; why is the question mark smiley bringing up that other one?
January 27, 2005 - 08:48 PM on January 27th, 2005
Must be something in the stars:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 08:50 PM on January 27th, 2005
Well, at least all my normal ones work!
January 27, 2005 - 08:51 PM on January 27th, 2005
Lee- that statement leaves you wide open for insult!
January 27, 2005 - 08:51 PM on January 27th, 2005
The stars are supposed to be on MY side!
January 27, 2005 - 08:52 PM on January 27th, 2005
25- Then what happened:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 08:53 PM on January 27th, 2005
16- Ha! He’s got the captain!:wink:
17-yeah, I’m starving..can’t wait!
January 27, 2005 - 08:53 PM on January 27th, 2005
Insult? I think it’s a GOOD sign that everything’s working!
Hear that K? Everything’s working fine?
Uh-oh, I think the captain’s starting to take control
January 27, 2005 - 08:55 PM on January 27th, 2005
28- Where is Sasha when I need him:?:
January 27, 2005 - 08:55 PM on January 27th, 2005
I haven’t had a london broil in a while. They’re great! My chili mac’s getting cold. Type. Eat. Type. Eat. Drink. Drink. Drink…
26-Mutiny!
January 27, 2005 - 08:57 PM on January 27th, 2005
29 – Oh sure, the damn thing works for you!! Where is Sasha? The game’s been over for a while now!
OK – one more try: hold your breath: drum roll please… (I’m nervous)
January 27, 2005 - 08:58 PM on January 27th, 2005
?????
January 27, 2005 - 09:03 PM on January 27th, 2005
I don’t think Sasha likes us anymore:sad:
January 27, 2005 - 09:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
Lee- I pick the Spartans for the final 4.
January 27, 2005 - 09:10 PM on January 27th, 2005
Well I must be finishing the dinner(mashed potatos and all) so I will bid you all a good nite!:wink:
January 27, 2005 - 09:11 PM on January 27th, 2005
What did you do to Sasha? Maybe he’s just medicated
34-Well, of COURSE you do!! I picked the Bears for the superbowl too
January 27, 2005 - 09:13 PM on January 27th, 2005
Good nite sis!! I think I may close off too and go do some homework and get to bed early for once. After eating my “dinner” I’m getting a little drowsy
January 27, 2005 - 09:15 PM on January 27th, 2005
36- Thems some fighin words:mad: You just wait Mr. Smug!:wink:
January 27, 2005 - 09:16 PM on January 27th, 2005
Goodnight Navy Sis!
January 27, 2005 - 09:21 PM on January 27th, 2005
38-Oh you just now figured out I was pickin’ fights?
Actually, I think it would be GREAT if the Spartans made it to the final four. Then we could knock you out then too!!! 
That oughta get ya goin’ heh heh
Well, I’m gonna call it a day! Nite peejz
January 27, 2005 - 09:23 PM on January 27th, 2005
More tomorrow Lee:mad: I’ll get you:wink: Just wait til Sasha hears about this. You won’t be talkin so tough.
January 27, 2005 - 09:25 PM on January 27th, 2005
He’s here now Lee! Just wait. You’ll get yours!
January 27, 2005 - 09:26 PM on January 27th, 2005
Sorry guys. I kind of took a nap. Got a little sleepy.
January 27, 2005 - 09:28 PM on January 27th, 2005
Still sleepy. Can’t quite get it together.
May have to have a pot of coffee before going to bed.
Cliff Notes me. What have I missed?
January 27, 2005 - 09:30 PM on January 27th, 2005
28: ??!?
It still doesn’t explain the rash, Lee.:smile:
January 27, 2005 - 09:34 PM on January 27th, 2005
You have to remember, peejz. Lee is new to basketball because his football team was so bad.
At least we had reasons for losing.
January 27, 2005 - 09:35 PM on January 27th, 2005
Lee thinks the Spartans can make it to the final 4 where ILL will beat us again. He thinks he will win on Tuesday. He was talking down about you and said he could kick you ass all over cyber-space.
What do you think of that:?:
January 27, 2005 - 09:36 PM on January 27th, 2005
46-:lol::lol:
January 27, 2005 - 09:39 PM on January 27th, 2005
YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?
I have a vintage batch of Verbal Napalm(TM), extra fortified with Snark and Stank ready to go.
January 27, 2005 - 09:40 PM on January 27th, 2005
C’mon, mess with me…:twisted::lol:
January 27, 2005 - 09:41 PM on January 27th, 2005
And he’s on a dial-up…:roll::smile:
January 27, 2005 - 09:42 PM on January 27th, 2005
Take that lee:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 09:43 PM on January 27th, 2005
Type to the hand!
Ok, not the same effect this way. Sheesh, try to do a little work and some little upstart basketball fan(s) wanna go tryin’ to start something!
January 27, 2005 - 09:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
It’s hard to be menacing when you have a cat falling asleep in your lap purring like a turboprop.
January 27, 2005 - 09:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
peejz, Sasha’s too skinny to hind behind!
January 27, 2005 - 09:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
54-It’s ok, it wasn’t working anyway! I just don’t intimidate that easy
Give that cutesy-wootsy little furball a tickle for me! 
January 27, 2005 - 09:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
54-Mine is kneeding my leg:razz:
55-He can punch and run.
January 27, 2005 - 09:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
Lee, if you dial back in to ISP, you may be able to get a faster 14400 baud rate.:razz:
January 27, 2005 - 09:49 PM on January 27th, 2005
I have a considerable reach.
January 27, 2005 - 09:50 PM on January 27th, 2005
57-You might have me there!
58-That’s low, hitting a guy right in the bandwidth! You should be ashamed of yourself, picking on a poor college student!
January 27, 2005 - 09:51 PM on January 27th, 2005
59-Yeah, but I know your weakness. I have a UV lamp!
January 27, 2005 - 09:53 PM on January 27th, 2005
56: It’s okay, Lee. We know you meant hide. My formidable presence has you quaking at your keyboard.:lol:
Or it’s just the cold. It’s not even funny right now.
January 27, 2005 - 09:54 PM on January 27th, 2005
61-That’s just plain mean. What do you say to that Shasha….
January 27, 2005 - 09:54 PM on January 27th, 2005
I have sunblock. So?
January 27, 2005 - 09:57 PM on January 27th, 2005
I went to the Hubble site the other night.
One of the other reasons repair and maintenance has been cut, and I was unaware of this, is that the HST is only compatible for docking with the shuttles, which ain’t going up anytime soon.
January 27, 2005 - 09:58 PM on January 27th, 2005
62-And I knew you meant 55
Damn coffee stains must be making the keys stick together. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
64-The speed of light is MUCH faster than the speed of putting on sunblock!
63-I’m just trying to hold my own peejz
January 27, 2005 - 09:59 PM on January 27th, 2005
Shasha, peejz? Are you typing with a lisp now?:lol::razz:
January 27, 2005 - 10:00 PM on January 27th, 2005
66: You apply it well before exposure, and you’re good to go.
January 27, 2005 - 10:03 PM on January 27th, 2005
Cat has decided to curl up right in front of the space heater. Practically asleep with her head still off the floor. Dingcat…
January 27, 2005 - 10:05 PM on January 27th, 2005
65-Yeah, but nobody expected a servicing mission until the shuttle was back in service. The other excuse is that if we send a shuttle to HST there’s nowhere for the astronauts to stay in case something’s wrong with the shuttle. I hate to sound harsh, but space exploration is a dangerous business. Ask any of the astronauts; they’d do it in a heartbeat, even after the recent disaster. And I even know an astronaut and talked to him about it. The truth is, O’Keefe’s been trying to come up with excuses to cut Hubble’s funding for years, and now he’s using the shuttle disaster. Ask any real astronomer; HST is infinitely more valuable than the political ISS boondoggle and is worth the risk.
It’s not stopping at Hubble either; an email went out today about NASA cutting funds in planetary sciences. I support Bush’s space vision, but not if it’s going to be at the expense of more important science!
January 27, 2005 - 10:05 PM on January 27th, 2005
Whoa. I’ve been abandoned.
January 27, 2005 - 10:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
67- you ass:razz:
good night you 2!
January 27, 2005 - 10:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
Okay, I no longer feel abandoned.:smile:
January 27, 2005 - 10:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
67-I didn’t even catch that! peejz, are cheating with the captain on me?
You know it’s not necessary; three’s not always a crowd
January 27, 2005 - 10:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
‘Nite peejz!
January 27, 2005 - 10:09 PM on January 27th, 2005
71-Nope; you went and got me all serious, dammit! Now I’ll need an extra dose to put me back in the right state of mind
January 27, 2005 - 10:09 PM on January 27th, 2005
And I guess friends should share… mmmmmmm
January 27, 2005 - 10:10 PM on January 27th, 2005
Sasha, the captain doesn’t mix well with meds; it should say so right on the bottles!
January 27, 2005 - 10:11 PM on January 27th, 2005
Nite peejz!
January 27, 2005 - 10:11 PM on January 27th, 2005
That’s part of the strategy. Distract with meaty issues of substance, then land a good one. KaPOWW!
January 27, 2005 - 10:13 PM on January 27th, 2005
Well, at least you think my issues have substance!
January 27, 2005 - 10:13 PM on January 27th, 2005
I have gone near the Captain in 15 years.
Margaritas, Long Islands, and Bailey’s & coffee are more my thing. And vodka.
January 27, 2005 - 10:14 PM on January 27th, 2005
Haven’t gone near.
ops:
January 27, 2005 - 10:15 PM on January 27th, 2005
No meds tonight.
January 27, 2005 - 10:17 PM on January 27th, 2005
I just like the photos they keep getting.
January 27, 2005 - 10:17 PM on January 27th, 2005
I just forwarded you the email I mentioned in case you’re interested. The thing is, I don’t think this is Bush; I think it’s NASA upper management. They seem to want to focus all their money on the shuttle and ISS. Great, what’s supposedly supposed to be an organization devoted to advancing science is rapidly becoming a multibillion dollar political taxi service.
January 27, 2005 - 10:19 PM on January 27th, 2005
85-Those photos contain a ton of information for scientists besides being nice PR. Damn, now you got me on my soapbox!
January 27, 2005 - 10:20 PM on January 27th, 2005
Oh, that email’s coming from my astro account so you may not recognize it as me. From astro.uiuc.edu…
January 27, 2005 - 10:21 PM on January 27th, 2005
Hey did I get abandoned now? Or is it that distraction thing you talked about getting thrown back atcha? KaPoww!!
January 27, 2005 - 10:22 PM on January 27th, 2005
20 more and I’ll overtake Sandy for #8
January 27, 2005 - 10:22 PM on January 27th, 2005
You know, and I said this when Clinton was in office as well, when you become president, you’re not bestowed with a crystal ball, magic wand, telepathy, clairvoyance, or a time machine. There’s no way to know what some anonymous paper shuffler is doing until it causes a blip on the radar.
I will be sure to read your e-mail.
January 27, 2005 - 10:25 PM on January 27th, 2005
20 more? Let’s put the girl in her place.
Wait–is this our redheaded Sandy the hammer thrower, or Sandyb?
January 27, 2005 - 10:26 PM on January 27th, 2005
91-Yeah, and unfortunately everyone in the astro department smacks the blame squarely on Bush’ shoulders, but I’ve felt this way ever since O’Keefe took over as NASA administrator. I believe Bush would support the scientific community if we presented it properly, but I think the NASA upper management is in on this. The thing is, I don’t understand why. I do know that O’Keefe isn’t a scientist though; he’s a paper pusher. That probably has a lot to do with it.
January 27, 2005 - 10:27 PM on January 27th, 2005
Ah, Sandyb. Don’t have to worry about hammers flying toward my head.
January 27, 2005 - 10:28 PM on January 27th, 2005
92-sandyb; I didn’t notice where hammer-lady was on the list, so she must be a ways down there!
January 27, 2005 - 10:29 PM on January 27th, 2005
94-Yeah, I wouldn’t have been so blatant if it was her! I’d have just quietly overtaken her to avoid a 10-pound sledge to the noggin
January 27, 2005 - 10:30 PM on January 27th, 2005
I don’t know why I’m still putting numbers on my posts when we’re obviously the only two left here!
January 27, 2005 - 10:30 PM on January 27th, 2005
93: Bureaucracies can run themselves, thanks to glass ceilings and drones. Every once in a while you get the odd administrator out to make a name.
January 27, 2005 - 10:31 PM on January 27th, 2005
Because I do it as well. Force of habit.
January 27, 2005 - 10:34 PM on January 27th, 2005
That’s so true. The problem is, NASA’s gone from one extreme to the other. Under the old administration, NASA had no direction and was totally inefficient and a huge money drain; that bureaucracy is what led to the safety deficiencies that made the shuttle disaster a reality. Now their efficiency is improving, but the new management unfortunately seems more concerned with politics than science, which should be their primary concern.
January 27, 2005 - 10:35 PM on January 27th, 2005
Yeah, I’m afraid that while I’m typing three new posts will land and what I say won’t make sense anymore, or will make sense in a way I wasn’t intending!
January 27, 2005 - 10:37 PM on January 27th, 2005
Sandy’s not as far down as I thought; she’s at #13 tied with PCD! Wonder why I never noticed that before? I must’ve just been focusing on who was in front of me, ignoring the rear-view mirror
January 27, 2005 - 10:42 PM on January 27th, 2005
I imagine it’s a little bit of both forces at work. NASA has a budget to work within, not a bottomless bucket, so they may have to prioritize and compete for project money.
On the other end, the admins are there and they have yearly goals and objectives to meet, against which their performance is evaluated.
So an admin can cut the budgets to the point that no work is accomplished, and the admin has met the objective for the year.
And then you just sharpen the saw from there.
January 27, 2005 - 10:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
102: Kind of like driving on the freeway. OOnce you make your move on someone, as long as you’re in front and out of high-beam range, I don’t see a problem.:lol:
January 27, 2005 - 10:45 PM on January 27th, 2005
Yep, and then you’re stuck with yet another useless government agency that spends all of its money just to continue its existence.
January 27, 2005 - 10:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
Yeah, and guess who’s in the road in front of sandyb !
January 27, 2005 - 10:51 PM on January 27th, 2005
i’m back

Yeah Sasha; I don’t think you’re in any danger
High K!
January 27, 2005 - 10:54 PM on January 27th, 2005

January 27, 2005 - 10:54 PM on January 27th, 2005
“high”
January 27, 2005 - 10:55 PM on January 27th, 2005
Maybe you and peejz have been sharing the Captain.
January 27, 2005 - 10:56 PM on January 27th, 2005

Now why did I write it that way? It wasn’t intentional; must have been subliminal!
K, I think you have an effect on me
Or maybe it’s the Captain. Or both
January 27, 2005 - 10:57 PM on January 27th, 2005
glad that we are on the save wavelength, minus the pussy.

It must effect you if you’re singing eminem! God I’d like to beat the crap out that guy! And I’m not a violent person
January 27, 2005 - 10:58 PM on January 27th, 2005
i am the master debater right now on whether i should finish the bottle of vino or go to bed so i can be more refreshed for the interview.
self diagnosed fear of success, i have.
January 27, 2005 - 10:59 PM on January 27th, 2005
116:
ops: Caught me off guard on that one.
January 27, 2005 - 10:59 PM on January 27th, 2005
K, I think I like you on wine. Mental note for August vacation: lots of red, red wine
January 27, 2005 - 10:59 PM on January 27th, 2005
117 – yeah, it’s hard to do on a post.
you guys, do you think shiloh beats it every night thinking of peejz?
January 27, 2005 - 11:01 PM on January 27th, 2005
Actually all those “nanannana’s” put Will Smith’s Summertime into my head.
January 27, 2005 - 11:01 PM on January 27th, 2005
hee hee, august will be fun. we should be total dorks and make up t-shirts and campaign in 2008 together. the right voices tour!
okay, time for a slight refill then nighty night.
January 27, 2005 - 11:02 PM on January 27th, 2005
I would suggest a gallon of water so you can go pee a few times during the night. Please get out of bed though. Lee’s admitted here that he’s made that mistake a time or two.
The tannins will mess you up.
January 27, 2005 - 11:02 PM on January 27th, 2005
123 – is that the “get jiggy wit it” song? cuz now it’s stuck in my head!
January 27, 2005 - 11:02 PM on January 27th, 2005
Or was it Summertime? It was Will Smith.
K!!
Please, I’m a visual person, and that one I just don’t need! Please go back to your previous train of thought 
January 27, 2005 - 11:03 PM on January 27th, 2005
126-Yeah! That’s the one! Much better than emineminem…
January 27, 2005 - 11:04 PM on January 27th, 2005
na na na na na na
gettin’ jiggy wit’ it.
Whatever.
Gritty Kitty just climed into an empty waste basket and still looks cute.
January 27, 2005 - 11:05 PM on January 27th, 2005
Sasha! Can’t you see I’m trying to be smooth
January 27, 2005 - 11:05 PM on January 27th, 2005
125 – i am weird, like a camel – i can sleep til noon without having to pee, no problem. probably not good for the kidneys, but it’s better than peeing the bed.
January 27, 2005 - 11:06 PM on January 27th, 2005
131-K, it’s not true; Sasha just doesn’t know how to handle the competition
He knows I’ll look better on the Chicago beach!! 
January 27, 2005 - 11:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
although, i do admit to you guys…once i was so bombed that i sat on the toilet to pee..and forgot to take my shorts and undies off.
January 27, 2005 - 11:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
Shouldn’t have said that. I’d better start working out now!
January 27, 2005 - 11:07 PM on January 27th, 2005
122: Okay, let’s pretend that didn’t happen.:shock:
January 27, 2005 - 11:08 PM on January 27th, 2005
133-I hope you remembered afterwards!
And sandyb is now in my dust!!!
January 27, 2005 - 11:08 PM on January 27th, 2005
132 chicago and beach sound like an oxymoron
speaking of which, you should let me go soon so i can sleep well for the interview that gets me there…
LOL.
January 27, 2005 - 11:09 PM on January 27th, 2005
OK, I really shouldn’t but I’m gonna go mix another drink. I can’t leave K here by herself in this condition
January 27, 2005 - 11:10 PM on January 27th, 2005
136 – i couldn’t help but remember, er. put the pieces back together.
what’s the worst thing you’ve done while drunk?
January 27, 2005 - 11:11 PM on January 27th, 2005
132: You can probably only say that now because the sun hit that fish-belly skin and blinded everyone.:razz::lol:
January 27, 2005 - 11:11 PM on January 27th, 2005
138 – my kind of guy – i k you and i would be last at the bar going, “one more, okay, one more, okay, where can we go next?”
January 27, 2005 - 11:12 PM on January 27th, 2005
I’m sorry. That was pure stank.:shock:
January 27, 2005 - 11:12 PM on January 27th, 2005
141 – that “k” should have been “bet” as in “i bet”
January 27, 2005 - 11:13 PM on January 27th, 2005
137-Hey, I didn’t force you to go get that extra glass of wine
You would think that about Chicago, but it’s actually got a pretty decent beach!
January 27, 2005 - 11:17 PM on January 27th, 2005
131: By all means, have the water.
139: I don’t get to the point of getting drunk. Once my face goes numb, I’m done for the night.
January 27, 2005 - 11:18 PM on January 27th, 2005
139-I wish I could remember! There were some pretty bad ones in my youth, but that was a loooooong time ago! When I was in Florida, my buddies and I used to play all sorts of pranks on each other. I think the best was when one of our friends was out of town, we went into his room and turned everything backwards. We even somehow managed to turn his bunkbed completely upside-down!
Putting the mattress on the ledge outside was common too. There was one night where I was so drunk that I crawled home and the guys had put my mattress in the bathroom. I was so drunk that I leaned on it while I was throwing up and then got a good night’s sleep on the springs.
Man I’m glad those days are over
K, I think we would close the bars!
January 27, 2005 - 11:18 PM on January 27th, 2005
It’s on Lake Michigan, it has to be decent.
January 27, 2005 - 11:20 PM on January 27th, 2005
I’ve always been a happy drunk
January 27, 2005 - 11:20 PM on January 27th, 2005
I roll drunks and take their money.
January 27, 2005 - 11:21 PM on January 27th, 2005
This could be profitable trip.
January 27, 2005 - 11:22 PM on January 27th, 2005
148 – mee too, i am a loving, but sometimes stupid drunk!
sasha – you are too good.
January 27, 2005 - 11:23 PM on January 27th, 2005
I wouldn’t be worth your effort Sasha! A poor little college student barely has enough money to keep himself inebriated! I mean, keep the rent paid!
January 27, 2005 - 11:23 PM on January 27th, 2005
Yeah, Lee, you’ve passed Sandyb, but you gotta keep her down.
January 27, 2005 - 11:24 PM on January 27th, 2005
151-Well, this Chicago trip is really starting to sound fun!
January 27, 2005 - 11:25 PM on January 27th, 2005
152 – I’ll be your suga momma.
January 27, 2005 - 11:26 PM on January 27th, 2005
153-I’m working on it
She’s choking on more and more of my dust as we speak! She might as well hang out back there with Zelda and the crack pipe!
January 27, 2005 - 11:26 PM on January 27th, 2005
I can’t stand sappy drunks.
Crying in their beer, “Mommmmmeeeee! I just wanted one more ride on the pony! Why did I have to eat turnips? Whhhhhyyyyyy!”
KaPOW!
I take yo money…
January 27, 2005 - 11:26 PM on January 27th, 2005
How far are you out of the city, Lee?
And I do love Lake Michigan. I go up there every year for the 4th of July at Summerfest in Milwaukee.
January 27, 2005 - 11:27 PM on January 27th, 2005
155 – oh hell yeah! I’ll keep Sasha away from your purse
January 27, 2005 - 11:29 PM on January 27th, 2005
158 – About 2 1/2 hour drive.
Now Sasha, does this sound like a couple of crying drunks??
Leave my quarters alone!! A man’s gotta park, dammit!
January 27, 2005 - 11:29 PM on January 27th, 2005
Anyone for a drinking game? I guess that would be better over instant messenger.
January 27, 2005 - 11:30 PM on January 27th, 2005
160 – where the hell are you? why did i think you are at urbana?
January 27, 2005 - 11:31 PM on January 27th, 2005
K, I like the way you think! I’ve never tried drinking games online. I can’t bury sandyb over IM though
January 27, 2005 - 11:32 PM on January 27th, 2005
In college, I had a couple of floormates/friends who were horny drunks. You have to be especially on guard with this species of drunk. You lose your concentration for an instant, the next thing you know they’re trying to love on ya. And they’d think it was the funniest thing the next day.
January 27, 2005 - 11:32 PM on January 27th, 2005
I AM in Urbana! Well, Champaign actually, but it’s the same difference! It’s about a 2 1/2 hour drive to Chicago from here straight up 57.
January 27, 2005 - 11:33 PM on January 27th, 2005
164 – Now that sounds more my style! But don’t worry Sasha, you’re not my type
January 27, 2005 - 11:34 PM on January 27th, 2005
159: You can’t do that. I have dibs on her lap.
January 27, 2005 - 11:35 PM on January 27th, 2005
So unless you wanna walk around Chi-Town carrying her purse…
January 27, 2005 - 11:36 PM on January 27th, 2005
163 – true, and i should go to sleep soon. zzzzzz. but the sugar in the wine is keeping me awake!
i always go by the 1.5 cycle rule – that’s supposed to be your full sleep cycle to get the best night’s rest – so you try to sleep in 1.5 hr, 3 hr, 4.5 hr, 6 hr, 7.5 hr, 9 hr cycles…I always shot for 9 hours but in NYC with all the drugs usually ended at 3 best. But seriously- 8 hrs is NOT the best – check out 7.5 or 9, if you can. It’s amazing.
Tonight, I am seriously going for 7.5.
January 27, 2005 - 11:36 PM on January 27th, 2005
167-Dammit! Foiled again! But you’ll have move eventually to pee or something, and then….
January 27, 2005 - 11:38 PM on January 27th, 2005
169 – Well, you ARE my suga momma!
I never heard that about the sleep cycles! It really works?
January 27, 2005 - 11:39 PM on January 27th, 2005
KaPOW! I take yo money!:twisted:
January 27, 2005 - 11:39 PM on January 27th, 2005
166-168 – i’ll walk in between you guys like schameel, schmazel..
WE’RE gonna DO IT!
January 27, 2005 - 11:40 PM on January 27th, 2005
172 – Joke’s on you! I don’t HAVE any! And you conveniently left me behind with the drunk girl
nyah nyah!
January 27, 2005 - 11:41 PM on January 27th, 2005
173 – Wrong city, Laverne; that’s Milwaukee!
January 27, 2005 - 11:42 PM on January 27th, 2005
171 – yep. i swear by it…
you go through REM (rapid eye movement) when you are in a deep sleep, and you need this for brain recovery. it happens in these cycles of app. 1.5 hrs. try it. don’t try sleeping past 9 hours on the weekends or your offdays and you feel great.
now, drinking fucks this up b/c you aren’t getting the DEEP sleep you need…
January 27, 2005 - 11:42 PM on January 27th, 2005
Well, the effects of the nap is wearing off. Time for this tired puppy to drag himself to bed.
On the morrow, folks!
January 27, 2005 - 11:44 PM on January 27th, 2005
hey boys, don’t turn on me…
January 27, 2005 - 11:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
176 – It’s rare that I sleep 9 hours, my body just doesn’t seem to like that! Too bad about the drinking, though; that might be why I’ve never noticed! I’ll have to give it a shot, but I think it’s already too late for tonight!
177 – And she’s alllllll mine!
Nite Sasha!
January 27, 2005 - 11:46 PM on January 27th, 2005
yeah, i should go too before lee tries to revert to phone sex.
January 27, 2005 - 11:47 PM on January 27th, 2005
Are you kidding K? Do you really think I’d go to sleep now??
January 27, 2005 - 11:48 PM on January 27th, 2005
LOL – I do need to crawl into my lonely king sized bed.
Have a great night. Don’t think of shiloh.
January 27, 2005 - 11:48 PM on January 27th, 2005
180 – Who me? Would I do that? Where’s an innocent angel face smiley when I need one?? Besides, I thought YOU were the one trying to take advantage of me
January 27, 2005 - 11:48 PM on January 27th, 2005
174: And what would there be to do? You’ll be drunk, knocked out, and will have peed your pants. That puts a block on any hope of action…unless you catch the eye of a less discerning street person who likes that in a man.
Hey, who am I to cast aspersions. One does what one must.:wink:
January 27, 2005 - 11:49 PM on January 27th, 2005
181 – what happened to that girlfriend?
January 27, 2005 - 11:49 PM on January 27th, 2005
Aw, now why’d you have to pull the shiloh on me? You coulda just splashed me with cold water! I have a king sized bed too
It’s also pretty lonely.
January 27, 2005 - 11:50 PM on January 27th, 2005
New tv show: Desperate Grad Students
January 27, 2005 - 11:50 PM on January 27th, 2005
185 –
Couldn’t you have just used shiloh again?
January 27, 2005 - 11:51 PM on January 27th, 2005
187 – Not desperate; just can’t let a good opportunity pass! hey, I thought you were sleeping! peeping tom
January 27, 2005 - 11:52 PM on January 27th, 2005
Alright you two, I AM going to crawl into my lonely bed and get some sleep, for 7.5 hrs, dreaming of Chicago!
And Lee, of course.
Good night, Loves…more tomorrow!!!
XXO
January 27, 2005 - 11:53 PM on January 27th, 2005
Mos Def. I’m out too.

190 – Nite K! I’m gonna stock up on red wine
January 27, 2005 - 11:54 PM on January 27th, 2005

January 28, 2005 - 12:43 PM on January 28th, 2005
Thanks Navy Sis. I was a little foggy after last night, but I think I came across pretty well.
January 28, 2005 - 12:47 PM on January 28th, 2005
208- Might have been a good thing, nerves and all.
January 28, 2005 - 12:50 PM on January 28th, 2005
Hey there Shrek! Got the email, thanks!:wink:
