What does it mean to go to high school in someone's #####?

I want to know. I want to know so I can use this phrase correctly.

You just use it any old way you want and the Good Lord God will provide.

So my computer isn't fast enough to battle Myspace's powerfull wall of bullshit (defender, reach, 0/5). I'll have an opinion on this tomorrow, I guess.

[Arachno-capitalist]

Myspace is a hellacious pit of the internet that has been refined in the parameters of facebook. I find myspace to be like a giant banner ad from the 1990's with flashing scrolling text and animated gifs[/glow][/color]

There are good things to be said for this. Small jewels but... I mean, cheap as free and all that.

"Where did my jazz go?" is a question I've been asking myself at every moment since I was twelve and learned the difference between jazz and not-jazz... and that I was fundamentally not-jazz most of the time, just like everyone.

"Alton Brown said so!" is a statement I make a lot when I'm about to do something not lazy in the act of cooking... and then I ignore it completely.

In general, also, this is something my brother and I do pretty often... just going to a fast food place and freestyling an absurd order to see if people will question us... and if we can eat it all if we've managed to blow their MINDS into just going along with it. We call it "shooting up the place" for reasons I don't completely understand. If questioned, we say "we're having a party" and see if they laugh.

They always sell us the food, though. This is America, after all, after everything.

I feel like this was meant to be a kind of Achewood primer for Dark hoss, we're getting all the little traits that we love and only come out one at a time all in a rush and that kind of spoils things. There's a reason not believing in Hawks was part of the teaser for the regular Achewood readers but not in the final draft is what I'm saying.

Felt a lot of promise in the first couple of pages, especially 'This pleases me' but it just went stale after that.

I am relieved to find that there is a segment of the Youth of America that feels this way. Maybe there is hope after all.

I think it's a fairly widely spread view, at least among 20 somethings and late teens who can still remember 1998. Whoever thought tiled backgrounds and embedded music was an idea that needed another chance will be the first one up against the wall when the revolution comes.

OK, I did like that.  Because I say that too.

Dude, Flashblock. I didn't even know Myspace pages were supposed to automatically start playing music until like a week ago because of this add-on.

I remember actually winning an argument on Dumbrella because of Alton. Somebody was saying all pre-packaged spice blends were evil and a few of us were like, "but Old Bay is awesome!" When we pointed out Alton uses it on tv and in his book the guy was like, "Oh. Well why didn't you just that at the beginning."

[Carlos del Vaca]

I for one quite enjoyed this.

"Alton Brown said so!" is a statement I make a lot when I'm about to do something not lazy in the act of cooking... and then I ignore it completely.

I myself have wondered about the validity of Alton's statement that you just need to drink enough water to purge the excess salt.  Usually he says things that make a lot of sense, but it kind of flies in the face of any number of doctors and dieticians saying too much salt is bad for you.  Not that doctors and dieticians are omnicapable; they've certainly been proven wrong before.  I just... I just don't know. 

I do know I like salty food though.

Finally, is "japans" really a word? I've tried finding it, but to no avail!

From the Oxford English Dictionary (unabridged, online)
1. v. trans. To lacquer with japan¹; to varnish with any material that gives a hard black gloss.

referencing
¹  n. (a.) a. A varnish of exceptional hardness, which originally came from Japan. The name is now extended to other varnishes of a like sort, esp. to  (a) a black varnish obtained by cooking asphaltum with linseed oil, used for producing a black gloss on metal and other materials;   (b) a varnish-like liquid made from shellac, linseed-oil and turpentine, and used as a medium in which to grind colours and for drying pigments.

Asphaltum?  Who talks like that?

Asphaltum?  Who talks like that?

Same people who'd use lowercase-j "japan" as a verb or noun.

I've heard of women getting their nails japaned.  This might have been in a novel set in decades past.

As to myspace, facebook, etc.  I can't handle those things.  Too much like keeping an up-to-date obituary handy.

I found out today my Mother has a myspace account.  She is 70.
