5/16/02 - Tré Limone [Dry Sparkling Lemon Beverage with Ginger]



Had lunch with Liepis at "30 Rock", as Wiltfong likes to say. (A lunch with Liepis being a "LiepLunch", as I like to say.) Also picked up the tickets for EP2 for tonight.



People were lined up for the next showing of The Star Wars, along with a Fox News crew interviewing a couple of Mace Windu-esque Jedi.









Sad Mr Caustic.

5/17/02 - Canada Dry Ginger Ale [free from Home's Kitchen Restaurant]







I enjoyed The Star Wars film...but it had huge flaws. Saying it's better than EP1 is not saying a lot.

Various pictures from EP2 screening last night:







The marquee at Ziegfeld.

Darth Bergeron, Darth Scheer, Darth Moe, & Princess Darth Rhodes in line.

Four Mr. Softee trucks come to the aid of one Mr. Softee guy who was in an altercation with a hot dog vendor (this really happened...the cops came to break it up. They take care of their own!)

Secunda, dark lord of the sith.

Welch's Grape Soda, with Liza ("ElkindL") looking on in the background.

ACLU, working to maintain your beverage freedoms.



Not really a surprise, is it, Eason.



You'll have to wait until I finish my bev.



I don't think there's really a piss of the day...unless...it's a really, really good piss. (Asparagus piss...is usually not the piss of the day.)

The mystery continues...

From Gethard:

Framsky: any luck on finding caustic yet?
Framsky: dont publish this by the way... everyone who seems to try to help you gets warned... except Amy Rhodes...
Framsky: anyone reading this, its Gethard, i'm lovable, dont warn me!
TerrySeal: no luck on the Caustic front
Framsky: hello?
Framsky: dammit
TerrySeal: any information on your end?
Framsky: no, and im at the epicenter of the ucb gossip world
Framsky: right there in the fray
Framsky: Caustic has hidden himself well... clouded our senses...
TerrySeal: he's GOOD
TerrySeal: in a bad way
Framsky: is he on right now?
TerrySeal: no...hidden...in the darkness
Framsky: we'll find this guy
TerrySeal: i hope so...for everyone's sake
Framsky: once again, if this winds up on the internet, im lovable, dont warn me
TerrySeal: everyone is a target
Framsky: maybe me most of all.
Framsky: or maybe thats what i want the world to think...
Framsky: every man knows darkness... doesnt he?
Framsky: i seem almost too cheerful sometimes, dont I?
TerrySeal: everyone is a target...but everyone is a suspect
Framsky: my guess is that it isnt even a Mr.
Framsky: its probably a female
Framsky: Gethard = 7 letters
Framsky: Caustic = 7 letters
Framsky: i wish i had a bad side
Framsky: so ill try to convince you
TerrySeal: i could never believe you are Caustic
Framsky: dammit!
Framsky: why not?
Framsky: i can do bad stuff!
TerrySeal: come now...get real!
Framsky: oh flip. you're right. i'll seeya later, Mr. Jinn! I've gotta go down to the soda jerk to buy some root beer flavored penny candies.
TerrySeal: [Caustic could never be responsible for the World's Foremost Goat!]


















SecundaNBC: Back
TerrySeal: I'm getting my beverage of the day, SecundaNBC.
SecundaNBC: Only at %56 today, huh pal?
TerrySeal: ONLY at 56%
SecundaNBC: Now it's only %54.
TerrySeal: whew
SecundaNBC: It'd be a shame for somebody to ruin it.
TerrySeal: did you have a great Secunday?
TerrySeal: hey now
[Secunda warns TerrySeal]
SecundaNBC: Does that answer your question?
TerrySeal: not really
SecundaNBC: I was depressed, then happy, then depressed, then confused, then I went to sleep, and woke up and was depressed again.
TerrySeal: geez...rollercoaster Secunday
SecundaNBC: Yeah. I'm not sure what's going on, exactly.
SecundaNBC: Did you go through any of that on Jinnday?
TerrySeal: no...Jinnday...was a good day...too much planned...to have a chance to think
SecundaNBC: Yeah. This year didn't even feel like my birthday...I guess that's why it felt so weird.
TerrySeal: i can imagine
TerrySeal: you know where that quote was...I posted on your thread on IRC, right?
SecundaNBC: Do you mean what it was or that you posted?
TerrySeal: where it was from
TerrySeal: what is was quoting
SecundaNBC: What am I, a person with a life?
TerrySeal: ha ha ha
SecundaNBC: Have you found out who Caustic is yet?
SecundaNBC: I've got to go write. Suck on this!
[Secunda warns TerrySeal, again]
SecundaNBC: I'd be the prime suspect, but my IM wasn't working yesterday.
TerrySeal: right...and you don't want anyone to know your IM name anyway
TerrySeal: so I would never post your IMs
SecundaNBC: I don't care.
SecundaNBC: This is my public IM.
TerrySeal: geez...now you say it
SecundaNBC: Because you missed all this gold?

Amongst the chaos...I was able to have a nice dinner with Dr. A and my parents, who are visiting. Was a nice time.



Caustic has us fighting amongst ourselves...then again...any one of us could be Caustic. Have you looked in the mirror lately? Mr Caustic...might be you.



I don't see the real Dr. Kevin Awesome often enough.

5/23/02 - Tropicana Pure Premium Low Acid Orange Juice



Low Acid = Less chance of being caustic.

Speaking of Caustic:

Mr Caustic: why is it taking so long to get your warning level down? have others begun warning you?
TerrySeal: yes
Mr Caustic: I do not approve . . .
Mr Caustic: My warnings were for your own good...to warn you of the coming war.
TerrySeal: a warning from Caustic is pure..everyone else...impure
Mr Caustic: the Warning War.
Mr Caustic: the War of the Warners
TerrySeal: warning me of the Warning War fought by Warners
Mr Caustic: happens usually when it gets warmer
TerrySeal: warning about warm warners
Mr Caustic: as I feared, my warnings fell on deaf ears . . . convoluted and twisted by misguided souls
Mr Caustic: I've started the very war I meant to prevent.
TerrySeal: How do you feel about that?
Mr Caustic: divided...
Mr Caustic: part of me enjoys the irony (albeit at my own expense) part of me is saddened...
Mr Caustic: the other part of me is looking forward to the opportunity to travel back in time to re-prevent the whole mess
TerrySeal: that is why you are so elusive...you have a time machine...
Mr Caustic: well, duh...
TerrySeal: I didn't know you had the capacity for time travel!
TerrySeal: so...anyway...what you're telling me...is that you're not evil after all?
Mr Caustic: Evil is all a matter of perspective.
Mr Caustic: I've never been "evil" per se.
Mr Caustic: think back...
TerrySeal: thinking....
Mr Caustic: weren't all my messages to you for your own good? Didn't you emerge wiser?
TerrySeal: In the 27 years that I've been conversing with you, I'd like to think that you had nothing at all to do with me being wiser.

TerrySeal: OW! I still don't know what your real purpose is...why you've been hounding me since I was a small child!
Mr Caustic: all will be revealed...
TerrySeal: You are like the monolith in 2001!
Mr Caustic: but it's 2002
TerrySeal: i know...
Mr Caustic: imagine the ramifications of THAT, "Mr." Jinn!!
Mr Caustic: you used to be such a wise child . . .
Mr Caustic: you know, I really thought you would've made a good pitcher.
Mr Caustic: Middle relief.
Mr Caustic: good change-up.
Mr Caustic: why'd you throw it all away (so to speak)?
TerrySeal: I gave it up to stay indoors and practice violin
Mr Caustic: pffft!
Mr Caustic: that's so . . . typical







That wasn't much of a warning, was it.

Left work early to do a pre-taped bit on Conan, which should appear on Friday (unless it gets cut!) Met Secunda and Shannon Manning there, and took a photo. I don't usually wear a suit (...it was for the bit.)





Is Liepis a turncoat? I was just in his office not an hour ago!

5/24/02 - Vanilla Coke

Marc Liepis acquired a bottle of Vanilla Coke for me...and I gathered a few co-workers to give it a tasting.







Here are some impressions:

Gabi says "It's like what they had in Romania and tried to pass for Pepsi. It's like Romanian Pepsi."

Diana says "It's cream soda-like...but worse."

Terry says "It's like a small amount of vanilla ice cream was put in it."

Liepis says "It's what I would call a 'dessert' beverage."

Ann says "It reminds me of those marinated chinese plums. Yuk."

radonbackward: I have broken down and signed up for IM. It's scary and exciting at the same time! Do you remember feeling this way?
TerrySeal: I was always confident that I could handle IM
TerrySeal: but..now...I'm not so sure
TerrySeal: it's gotten dangerous!
TerrySeal: what...with people like Caustic running around...willy nilly...
radonbackward: Don't let some silly figment of your imagination scare you away from IM!!! There! I said it! Caustic only exists because YOU believe in him!!!!
radonbackward: remember that famous quote-Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
TerrySeal: I read that somewhere...on a computer website...
radonbackward: really? cause i made it up myself.
TerrySeal: So what you're saying...is that Mr Caustic...is like the "bogeyman" ("bogey" as in golf...one stroke over par)?
radonbackward: mr caustic is par for the course.
TerrySeal: wait...so you're saying...Mr Caustic...is like getting par for an entire 18 hole golf course? Is it a tough course, like something you'd find on the PGA Tour?
radonbackward: more like the LPGA tour, cause Caustic throws like a girl.
radonbackward: that was really sexist.
TerrySeal: appropriately sexist
radonbackward: i take it back. cautic doesn't throw like a girl because caustic doesn't exist. and if he did exist and throw like a girl it would be a good thing 'cause girls can do ANYTHING!
radonbackward: as i'm sure we'll see at Monday's football game/picnic.
TerrySeal: girls can do anything, only...they do it like girls.
radonbackward: do you think that's a bad thing?
TerrySeal: well...if the thing that is done is growing a thick beard like Grizzly Adams
radonbackward: yes, that would be bad....
radonbackward: so, are you going to face the fact that Caustic is merely an illusion you've created to hide behind your fear of bearded girls?
TerrySeal: even if Caustic is...he needs to be defeated
TerrySeal: because...I'd sure LIKE to like bearded girls
TerrySeal: but they're kinda freaky
radonbackward: all you have to do is believe.
radonbackward: it's like Dorothy and the ruby slippers-you've had the power to defeat Caustic with you all the time
radonbackward: or WITHIN you....

5/27/02 - Gatorade Lime Ice



Held up by David Berman, accompanied by Jane Borden with italian ice.





At the UCB touch football gathering at Prospect Park. Once again I neglected to remember the fact that I am old...and played until my knees gave me problems. However, I was able to snap some nice pix.

5/28/02 - Snapple Snapricot Orange







Apparently...the Warn Wars are not over yet.





Amy Rhodes by any other name...is still the same rude lady.

I have discovered the channel "VH1 Classic" on my digital cable system. All old music videos!
