Getaway day for me. Got some biznass to take care of tonight then tomorrow morning I’m gone for a week. i00t!
8:58 am
Having the hair that I do, I do not judge other people’s hair style choices.
9:04 am
Apparently my ass is on the line tonight, so I am going to be busy protecting it.
9:17 am
Whose turn is it to watch Shopgirl’s ass? I think we’ve got you covered if you need assistance.
9:26 am
Thankfully I do not have enough chest or back hair through which to mow ♥s to impress my lady love.
9:34 am
@douglasG- oh, so kind of you.
9:41 am
Thinking about getting internet,
Qwest or Comcast?
9:41 am
@home that is, up to this point I have been getting by on tethered blackberry and g1 mobile surfing at home.
9:56 am
Maybe we should take shifts on shopgirl’s a**.
10:08 am
I stopped judging everyone by their hair when I looked in the mirror one morning and saw Tony Sirico’s hair looking back at me.
10:16 am
Pauly Walnuts? So what’s wrong with that?
10:23 am
kwatt, no one, INCLUDING you, is getting my ass. It’s mine.
10:25 am
I’m performing tonight at 930 at Shamrock’s, so if you’d like to see me have a complete mental breakdown on stage, please come on over/down/whatever. Also, tomorrow I’m getting my hair did in Anoka. If you’d like to see me fear for my safety on Hwy 10, please come with me [no, seriously, what does no one adjust their driving on that road, no matter what the conditions are].
11:01 am
Dead.

11:20 am
Just tryin’ to watch out for ya.
11:26 am
haha aw kwatt, you’re so sweet.
11:26 am
Not to take anything away from the ass talk, but if you want to meet some MNSpeakers past and present, OM Monday at 5:30 to celebrate DeRusha Day.
11:28 am
I find it encouraging that so many MnSpeakers are so eager to help a lady out.
11:28 am
OM stands for..?
11:49 am
OM
11:50 am
OM the new restaurant? http://omminneapolis.com/
11:51 am
ah. Gotcha.
11:51 am
I find it encouraging that so many MnSpeakers are so eager to help a lady out.
What can we say? We’re givers.
11:51 am
Jinx?
11:52 am
nope
11:53 am
Rats!
11:54 am
ooh, something exciting.. I’m quiting me job! Finally, I will be free!
11:55 am
So close…
11:55 am
Kwatt, why isn’t it a jinx?
11:55 am
k, was that a jinx?
11:56 am
I’m thinking Trieste for lunch. The lunch I brought in is extremely boring (although free, which is a huge plus).
11:56 am
Different time stamp. Kwatt’s always been clear about that.
11:58 am
So will you become “Unemployed Shopgirl” or what?
12:00 pm
You d*mn near jinxed yourself, @shopgirl. That would have ripped a tear in the MNspeak continuium.
12:01 pm
She’ll be shopslessgirl
12:19 pm
I brought mac and cheese. blech
12:20 pm
I’m having the last of the fresh corn and …?
12:25 pm
I think I’ll wander downtown.
12:29 pm
Ended up sticking with the boring lunch I brought. Eh, healthy, cheap, and at least I’m not hungry any more.
12:30 pm
Sigh. Sometimes reasonableness is a curse.
12:53 pm
@DouglasG: … and you’ll be seeing the results in about 18 hours?
12:57 pm
Ew!
1:11 pm
Anyone else catch the parkour opening to The Office last night?
1:37 pm
haha i should change my name to shopless girl. I like that one.
1:52 pm
@jane: Yes. Priceless … although you kind of could tell what the outcome would be once they got on the roof.
2:13 pm
Having worked in a place where the manager got me confused with another employee who was oft missing/oft drunk, I find The Office to painful to watch. It hits too close to home for me.
2:37 pm
Uhhhhhhg that meatloaf is NOT sitting well.
2:39 pm
I have not yet been to OM, nor read a review. But I can surmise that is merely good and not great. How, you ask, can I possibly make such a bold claim?
Simple. If it was mindblowing good, they would have named it OMG.
2:46 pm
I’m sooo ready to be done with work! I’m definetly over this job. Any tips on good ways to tell my boss I’m quiting?
2:53 pm
Tell them you really want to stay, but you’ve been offered a 50% increase in pay to leave for a competitor and that HR is a bunch of dummies because you never signed the non-compete in your file. I’ve found this is a great way to avoid burning bridges, find out what they really feel about you and keep your head held high.
It helps if it’s true, but either way it works.
3:09 pm
Let me first say I’m not talking about alie but…
Anyone notice in the past few months an uptick of people with SD plates on their cars and the inability to drive? it’s really weird because I’ve suddenly been seeing SD plates on cars everywhere and none of them seem to be driven by people who know what the f they are doing. What’s going on here?
3:12 pm
I’ve seen a lot of Illinois plates lately.
Too many, actually.
3:15 pm
Im thinking about growing a mustache.
3:20 pm
I don’t like mustaches with out beards. Don’t do it, Ryanol.
3:20 pm
What kind of mustache? There’re a couple kinds I really like (to my surprise).
3:26 pm
I really only got one move Jane unfortunately it’s the “Ron Jeremy”
3:31 pm
I hope it’s not really nose hair you’re turning into a ’stache, ryanol!
My best ’stache evar was on display for a while on Facebook. I had a goatee a few years back but facial hair is just too high-maintenance for me. Heck, one reason why I grew my head of hair long again was because I got tired of having to visit the barber once a month.
3:38 pm
I had a mustache once … once. (It made me look like my dad…)
3:44 pm
I can truthfully say I’ve never had a mustache.
3:49 pm
I’ve found this is a great way to avoid burning bridges, find out what they really feel about you and keep your head held high.

As long as you don’t mind looking like an idiot when a prospective employer calls them for a reference after you’ve supposedly started that new 50% pay raise job.
4:00 pm
I can truthfully say I’ve never had a mustache.
Uh, just wait a few more years.
4:11 pm
I will surely puke soon.
4:29 pm
Hahahahahah. Imagining me with a ’stache Kwatt?
4:33 pm
le sigh.
Newbie.
5:00 pm
Oh, don’t give me that.
5:08 pm
Oh, don’t give me that.
That’s what she said.
10:24 am
Granted it HAS been ages since kwatt has talked about his possible puking, bowels, etc.
11:48 am
heres an early stache photo from last summer

11:50 am
upon further review I think that the hipsters might still have to firm a grasp on the mustache…better let it cool down a bit before I jump back in the pool.
12:35 pm
My contribution to stachedom, a long, long time ago:
1:15 pm
@nood are you gonzo from the hunter s thompson books?
Thats a solid picture.
4:30 pm
For all I remember, it probably felt like it.
8:52 am
MNSpeak co-founder Chuck Olson and his longtime (much) better half, Lori, got married this weekend. The wedding photos.
8:57 am
Congrats to them…looks like a fun time was had by all.
9:04 am
The Rat’s new glasses look way too much like Chuck Olson’s.
Oh, Nos.
9:50 am
We always had you pegged as a hipster, Rat.
9:56 am
Its okay Rat so do my dads.
10:06 am
Both you and Chuck live in NE Mpls, so I guess you just can’t help being hip, Rat.
10:09 am
Daily life in Nordeast unfolds in decidedly un-hip ways.
