«danced with Lazlo» fucking GE-Phillip Morris-Disney-Microsoft bullshit (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:34pm) «goovie is married!» oOi love my son, he makes me GLAD (glad...glad...glad...)Oo (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:34pm) «danced with Lazlo» /me has been working for NYPIRG and following anti-corporate Canadian bands too long (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:36pm) «danced with Lazlo» JJ! I got my ticket for the taping today! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:36pm) «lawrence» waitwait, what does GE do that's bad?! I have stock in them. don't tell me I have to sell it all! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:36pm) «John J. Ryan» Oh wow! I didn't know you were going! Congrats! I'm expecting mine today when I get home from EFO tonight (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:38pm) «John J. Ryan» Also, expect a big TMBG jam session while waiting on line in the morning (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:38pm) «Rob Balder» Gella are you so young that you don't remember Letterman on NBC making fun of his "GE Masters?" (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:39pm) «danced with Lazlo» i'm a young'un. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:40pm) «danced with Lazlo» When was this? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:41pm) «Rob Balder» When GE bought NBC in like 1985, he showed up at GE with flowers and was escorted out by security. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:41pm) «Rob Balder» Or a fruit basket or something. He was ruthless about GE after that. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:42pm) «Shelly» grr..me wants to see EFO tonight, too *pout* (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:42pm) «danced with Lazlo» whoo boy, I was 3 or 4 years old (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:42pm) «Rob Balder» Oh Lord. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:44pm) «goovie is married!» /me doesn't think people who saw efo this afternoon should pout about not seeing them tonight :P (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:44pm) «Rob Balder» So what's wrong with GE, anyway? I can't think of anything they do that makes them a Disney, Phillip-Morris or Microsoft. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:45pm) «danced with Lazlo» ummm... PCBs that they refuse to clean up or even admit that they are dangerous...? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:46pm) «Rob Balder» Oh yeah there's some deal with that in New York...old generators or something (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:48pm) «danced with Lazlo» Superfund stuff. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:49pm) «danced with Lazlo» The generators are ConEd's bad shit. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:49pm) «Rob Balder» But I defy anyone to run a trillion-dollar enterprise and not a) have some negative environmental impact or b) get a black eye over some decision (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:50pm) «danced with Lazlo» ummm... this is more than that. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:51pm) «Rob Balder» OK I don't know any details so I'll defer, but I will go read up on it when I get time. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:52pm) «danced with Lazlo» They've known since the '50s that PCBs were dangerous but they didn't tell anyone and continued to dump because it wasn't illegal.] (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:53pm) «danced with Lazlo» Now they refuse to clean it up because it wasn't illegal at the time and because it would be an admission of fault. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:53pm) «danced with Lazlo» There are 864 known toxic waste sites in New York State. Not all of them are GE's, but a lot of them are. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:54pm) «danced with Lazlo» 81 of them are in Nassau County... the highest concentration of toxic waste in the nation... (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:55pm) «danced with Lazlo» and Nassau County also has the highest rate of breast cancer in the nation... 1 in 7. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:55pm) «danced with Lazlo» It's like with the tobacco companies knowing that cigarettes are bad for you and not admitting it until they had to. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:57pm) «danced with Lazlo» And what's worse is that the superfund... the fund set up by the state gov't to clean up the toxic waste... is bankrupt. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:58pm) «danced with Lazlo» The politicians in Albany have known since *1996* that it would run out and they did nothing to prevent it because they can't alienate the corporate lobbyists. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:59pm) «danced with Lazlo» GE could easily handle the cost of the cleanup of their own sites... but they just *won't.* (Jul 19, 2001 @ 3:59pm) «danced with Lazlo» /me notices the cops with bullhorns saying "Slowly... step... away... from... the... soap...box..." (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:00pm) «Rob Balder» Sounds like it's the liability they can't afford. If every case of breast cancer in the area sues and they have admitted liability... (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:01pm) «Rob Balder» No I have been keeping up, just busy here at work (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:01pm) «danced with Lazlo» /me wishes other people would jump in on this subject... (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:02pm) «danced with Lazlo» no? okay. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:04pm) «Bareena» Sorry I can't contribute--I'm taking a break from working, and I'll have to start identifying algae genera again soon. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:08pm) «Bareena» And, other than being mad at polluters, how are you guys today? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:08pm) «lawrence» /me is mad because the notice of a check from the IRS came. the check should be coming in August. ugh. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:09pm) «Rob Balder» I'm not as mad at polluters as I am supposed to be. And other than that, I am harried, harrassed and harrangued. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:09pm) «Bareena» That's the pits, Rob. Why are you so angst-filled? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:11pm) «Rob Balder» Deadline pressure and multiple parties lining up to paddle as I run through this line. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:18pm) «Bareena» Deadlines are absolutely putrid. In the words of my roommate, "Man...that @#*^in' SUCKS. It just SUCKS." (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:22pm) «Mollie» Bareena, Bareena, I love ya, Bareena! You're only 3000 miles away! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:25pm) «Mollie» I have a love/hate relationship with deadlines. I hate them but if they didn't exist, I'd probably never get anything done. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:26pm) «jaye» /me does the mom-found-the-christmas-song-noone's-ever-heard-of-happydance (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:26pm) «Mollie» And I love gettin' stuff dine (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:26pm) «Mollie» done even (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:26pm) «goovie is married!» /me got all her stuff done. all i've done today is play here and on dland. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:27pm) «Bareena» Moll! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:27pm) «Bareena» Moll! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:27pm) «Mollie» Bar! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:28pm) «Bareena» I'm trying to identify this one specimen under the scope, and it's being obnoxious. It refuses to be identified using the keys I have. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:28pm) «Mollie» awesome Carey...play play play (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:29pm) «Mollie» what an obnoxious phytoplankton! (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:29pm) «Bareena» "Mollbar" sounds like "fubar." (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:29pm) «Mollie» :) (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Bareena» I agree. Bad, bad phytoplankton. I'll have to send it to bed without its detritus. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Mollie» I had a patient once named Rena. All I could think about when I saw her was kidneys. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Bareena» Well, it's dead, so it's not like it would suffer. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Mollie» yeah, it pretty much is detritus, eh? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Bareena» Rena the human bean, the kidney bean. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:30pm) «Mollie» yesterday i saw two movies. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:31pm) «Bareena» What movies? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:32pm) «Mollie» Well, since ya asked.....;) I spent the afternoon with Lisa and we saw Legally Blonde. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:32pm) «Mollie» It was as I expected. A fairly superficial, sugary confection that was a lot of fun because Reese is so good. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:32pm) «Mollie» then we joined with Jonathan and Steve and saw Jurassic Park III (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:33pm) «Bareena» Sounds like a fun, dumb thing to see with friends at a midnight showing. What was the other movie? And how was your time with Lisa? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:33pm) «Mollie» My expectations were really low because I really disliked part two. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:34pm) «Bareena» Jurassic Park 3? Aren't they into the Cretaceous by now? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:34pm) «Mollie» I really enjoyed Jurassic Park III. Like Legally Blonde, It wasn't great film, but enjoyable if expectations are set right. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:34pm) «Mollie» Apparently still in Jurassic. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:34pm) «Bareena» So, in other words, if you don't expect anything, you're much more easily satisfied. well, I can believe that. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:35pm) «Mollie» I had fun with Lisa. We had lunch and hung out. she's fun. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:35pm) «Mollie» Plus jurassic park sounds better than Cretaceous Park (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:35pm) «Mollie» Oh I believe that expectations have a huge bearing on one's perception of a film. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:36pm) «Mollie» The Phantom Menace had no chance of being well reviewed, what with everyone's huge expectations of it because of what it followed. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:36pm) «Bareena» Oh, I don't know. I think that Triassic Park, Devonian Park, and Cenozoic park don't sound so bad. Hell, there are lots of eras and epochs I'd like to see drama (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:36pm) «Bareena» tized. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:37pm) «Bareena» Yeah, but, really--the Phantom Menace was lousy, even with the lowest expectations. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:37pm) «lawrence» the next one is going to be far, far worse. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:37pm) «Mollie» It wasn't any worse than its predecessors. And the special effects were astounding. It was easy to take that for granted. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:37pm) «Mollie» I think that the Star Wars' audience has grown up, and so has our expectations. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:38pm) «Mollie» I predict that Lawrence is going to...... (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:38pm) «Mollie» Doh! Just saw that he's unpredictable. No use in trying. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:38pm) «lawrence» heheh (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:39pm) «Bareena» So, Lawrence--what makes you so unpredictable? (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:39pm) «lawrence» I'll tell you in.... 2 weeks. :) (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:40pm) «lawrence» (bet you didn't see *that* coming :) (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:40pm) «Mollie» I predict that he's going to tell you in two weeks. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:40pm) «Bareena» well, that just means that I predict that, in 2 weeks, you'll tell me. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:40pm) «Mollie» I have a student ID now. I figure if I utilize it to the max, my Spanish class will pay for itself. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:41pm) «lawrence» ah, but what if I wait 15 days to tell you, then you're wrong? :) (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:41pm) «Bareena» Hmm....then I predict that you're a rotten lying bastard. (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:41pm) «lawrence» I'm sure it will be obvious long before then. :) (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:41pm) «goovie is married!» heeheehee (Jul 19, 2001 @ 4:41pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
