Diz?! Diz! DIZ!?

Apparently Diz prefers being a prolific commenter, but not so much a poster, since he routinely forgets when he is scheduled and then complains about being left off the schedule. Or, perhaps he's busy switching us not only off the blogger server, but away from this confounded software, as well?

Where in the world is Diz? I suppose it's possible that Big Oil has him wrapped in its tentacles so tightly at the moment that he's unable to breathe, let alone post on OWFL. Or, he could be trapped beneath the city of Houston in their weird ass tunnel system. Perhaps he's at home, recovering from a hangover. Or maybe he's having some much desired quality time with the lovely RoEsq. Or perhaps she was REALLY pissed about him eating her favorite sandwich, and she's publicly flogging him for his error.

Diz - WHERE O' WHERE ARE YOU??!! OWFL is concerned! And, we need to know what you're having for lunch!!

Use today to speculate on Diz's whereabouts and please tell us: WHAT'S FOR LUNCH???

Hee. I think he was kidnapped by albino zombies living in the tunnels beneath Houston. I don't know anything about the tunnels, except that albino zombies live there. Diz isn't have lunch. Albino zombies are having Diz for lunch.

WFL for me: leftover spicy drunken noodles with chicken. Yay! No going outside!

Miso - I am cold, thank you for asking! Man, a grilled cheese sounds good.

Earthquake said...

Dude, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Diz pass out at Thirty-One Flavors last night!

Earthquake said...

I guess it's pretty serious.

Speaking of being pretty serious, I have a pretty serious hangover today. Who knew that a long night of drinking beer and popping percocet and playing poker would make me headachy and nauseated?

I like the grilled cheese for lunch. Maybe with a bowl of chili.

Don't worry, HT. Not on rye today.

HaterTot said...

I want a grilled cheese - not on rye (thank you Quake!), but that would require leaving my office, and it's far too cold and I'm not wearing the proper footwear, so I'll be having the soup that LT so wisely advised me not to eat yesterday, b/c I would not want to leave today.

Unknown said...

oh diz, where for art thou, diz???? even i am making an appearance at this blog...and you aren't around? astonishing!

i actually did hear from diz yesterday as he encouraged me to post as comment 100. he's quite dedicated off-blog.

my guess is that he IS eating lunch (as i gather he doesn't like to skip meals) and maybe was kidnapped by leprechauns.

don't know WFL today. i have a meeting now, and i may grab a left over sandwich from a meeting lunch spread from yesterday.

Lady A said...

I know one place where Diz won't be...on the schedule for next month!!!

*wink wink* just kiddin'!

thank god for group carry out orders or else I'd be eating the same soup that I've had all week again. Boo. So instead I am getting the Triple Delight...yum yum.

m said...

poor diz.

mexican donkey shows with albino zombies are never fun.

i got a note from him this morning in regards to the new owfl blog and transfering it... something to the effect of. . .

"oh god, oh god, oh god. . . they were right. . . it is a dump truck. . ."

(this comment appeared on tvlunch for 30 seconds)

m said...

being at home today, i have all the options a kitchen can offer for lunch.

any ideas?

Earthquake said...

I agree with peep, but I would advise against going balls out and deep frying.

Vats of hot oil and exposed testicles don't mix.

HaterTot said...

Does the fired coworker have a bomb?

Heliocentric said...

I assume that Diz got into t pick up game of wacky relays and was over confident at his prowess in the Dizzy Bat event. I also assume his over confidence was somehow alcohol related. so while he stumbled down to the bat and got it to his forehead and probably even got around it 10 times, I can't imagine any scenario where he made it back to the starting line. My guess is Hospital. Totally Hospital.

Or, once again alcohol related, he actually did Disconaked and got he self arrested for public nudity. My guess is Jail. Totally Jail.

Either way he's eating institutional food.

I just spent 3 hours searching for why our petty cash account has $30.62 extra in it. my conclusion is that it is not the fault of business services because I checked every receipt and every piece of american currency and it keeps coming out the same way.

Probably going to apply to a dream job today for lunch, not eat food. So WFL Sunshine??? a great big Hope and Wish Sandwich.

LizTurtle said...

Peep - we have the same thing in our office!! Except I can't find it, so if anyone ever phones me with a bomb threat, we're screwed. I wouldn't have my little list, so I'd probably do soemthing like "OH MY GOD!!!!!!" & drop the phone and run, or think it was a friend pulling a prank "Reeeealllly? A bomb? Well, aren't you the big man? C'mon big man, blow it up, if you're so great!"

Miso, I would gladly give you half my noodles for 1/2 your grilled cheese!

Helio, I wish you light & joy & an awesome interview.

HaterTot said...

Helio, does that surplus mean that you are 30.62 richer? Is your dream job Embezzler?

Josephus said...

I think Diz is working on the new look of OWFL....yeah right.

I brought leftovers from home.
A big ass pork chop in a bbq/terriyaki/pinaplle sauce with wild rice and some veggies.

LizTurtle said...

Me hungry. I might try to hold off a little longer, though. I don't want to eat too soon. Plus then I will have retained more of my base for happy hour tonight at Dremo's! (Anyone else? Anyone?)

Heliocentric said...

Sadly embezzling is not a job as much as a hobby of opportunity. The opportunity did not present itself because I was being supervised and I don't know the system.

My best ebezeling was done on "Shuttle Fee" day. We'd collect about $7,000 in cash and like $2-3,000 in checks. I had to count it alone in a locked room and there was no accountability when I began. Now I'm an honest fellow and I lobbied to get the procedure, process and accouting improved because I saw the potential for a few hundred dollars to disappear each week. But the beauricratic red tape delayed the improvements for many weeks. For the record, my numbers always matched. Off the record, I always made sure that the numbers matched ;)

LizTurtle said...

Ooooh, Helio, you are so never working in a casino!

LizTurtle said...

That's it. I can't wait anymore. I'm eating my drunk noodles - Miso I'm heating 'em up. Come & get 'em.

Earthquake said...

helio: if the current process is the improved one, I shudder to think what the old one was like.

LT: I'm seriously considering a run at Dremo's tonight for some Puncho. Silent G has been pushing the idea all week, and I'm inclined to agree.

Off to get my grilled cheese and chili...

Josephus said...

I have no idea what this Dremo's place is.

Just thought I would share.

HaterTot said...

It's on this side of the river, Jo.

Dr. Dremo's

m said...

god, i'm lazy. clam chowder (white) so far.. consider that a prelunch

dizkonekdid said...

Alternative work schedule and of course a hang over.

In reality this was a better post topic than I'd lined up. I feel like a poo poo head ... but in my defense I'm not at work today. And yes, I have been working on the Wordpress installation in all of my free-time. Because lets face it ... even their software is bugg as all hell.

Thank you HT. I owe ya one.

dizkonekdid said...

Oh and I was making pancakes for RoEsq .. who woke me up from my delirious hangover to make her pancakes ... since she did ini fact find out I had her favorite sammy and did not invite her.

Sorry again ya'll.

dizkonekdid said...

Reading down the blog ... I like Helio's guess ... Miso's is hard on its heels at a very close second ... unfortunately those zombies are my coworkers ... they took offense... they don't like Donkey porn ... they like Jap Scat.

dizkonekdid said...

I am POSTER BOI!!!

dizkonekdid said...

Oh and Helio ... what makes you think the name isn't "disconnected" in L33t speak or Dizk One Kid ... an old hacker alias refering to the first viruses put out there that infected people's boot sector on their hard disk?

OR IN FACT it might be Diz Kone Kid meaning I large "Kohones" or cahones?

Josephus said...

Diz Lives!!!

hooray...now get back to work!

dizkonekdid said...

There is a ton of binary Math that I can do with the name too. Kinda like magic ... the only characters in the name that fall in Hex are D E D which are 13 14 13 which is a header to a type of file that was the first type of encryption in computers.

It is also a nearly perfect double palendrome:

diz konek id -> dizd konek or "disconnect"

I can do this all day ... I thought this up as a bored kid who wasn't good at basketball (white, short, broad shouldered) and noone would play football with me after I made the big kid 3 grades ahead cry.

That and I had to find a name for Trade Wars 2000 on my BBS. Being a Sysop with a phone line that didn't belong to me always disconnected my friends.

dizkonekdid said...

oh .. and I'm totally getting greasy taco bell ... my liver is screaming for it .. .the pancakes did NOTHING!

Earthquake said...

Successful procurement of chili and grilled cheese. On wheat. Multigrain pretzel nuggets as a side. Water to drink.

Nearly all gone, and all indicators are that ingestion is also successful, although I thought I was going to throw up in the parking garage after I got back from my optometrist appointment this morning.

Take THAT, hangover!

Josephus said...

It's never too early to start thinking about the 2007 OWFL Music Festival in Manchester, TN on June 14-17 (also known as Bonnaroo).

Here is the rumored line-up (official line-up will be announced on 2/14):

Sources close to the Manchester Times have recieved confirmation that The Police, Bob Dylan, and Pearl Jam have been confirmed to headline the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival. The lineup also includes Tom Waits, Willie Nelson, Umphrey's McGee, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Black Crowes, Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, Keller Williams Band, Hot Chip, America, TV on the Radio, Fountains of Wayne, Modest Mouse, Les Claypool, The Shins, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Toots and the Maytals, The Roots, The Decemberists, Of Montreal, Cat Power, Ozomatli, Perpetual Groove, Band of Horses, John Butler Trio, Nickel Creek, Medeski Martin and Wood, Lily Allen, Neko Case, Keiren Hedben (Four Tet) & Steve Reid, The Hold Steady, Earl Scuggs, Charlie Louvin, Man Man, Grizzly Bear, Konono #1, The Slip, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Uncle Earl, Annuals, Beirut, M. Ward, Cold War Kids, and Girl Talk.

LizTurtle said...

Wow, that was too much Diz at once. I stopped reading at 'i can do binary stuff with my name'. Wha?

I'm sad my lunch is gone. I apparently ate more of it last night than I thought.

Jo, perhaps you knew (probably not, but just maybe) Dr. Dremo's by it's former name: Bardo's. No?

Quake, the name of the game is 'Puncho'? Holy crap, that's uncreative.

Earthquake said...

LT: The name of the game is not Puncho. I didn't want to violate blog anonymity. And, I don't know the game's real name. For me, it will always be Puncho.

LizTurtle said...

Ah, yes. It would be horrible if Puncho's real name got out. Ha ha! Puncho. That's pretty funny, now that I know it's not what some corporate panel came up with. Is it really called like "Smashmaster 3000" or something?

LizTurtle said...

I have a pet peeve I would like to report on. It has always bugged me, but I always forget about it after it's not directly affecting me. This pressing matter: apple stems that are too short.

Stems that are too short can't be pulled out. They are hard and knobby on the ends. When you've eaten around the apple & you simply have nowhere else to hold on to, you must put your fingers in that little divot with the stem. Which proceeds to irritate the fingertip. For the love of god, apple farmers - pull the whole stem off or leave an extra inch for us poor sensitive-fingertipped people to pull it off.

Thank you for your time.

HaterTot said...

I wish Bonnaroo would tone down the hippie/jam band shit. It's a decent line up and all, but I don't think it's enough to finally push me over the edge to go.

Coachella on the other hand, is a festival I can get behind, but logistically, it's far less desirable.

HaterTot said...

Esoterrorism to PeeP: Coachella also costs more than the per person estimates for the OWFL Cruise. Tix are $250, plus $45/person for camping IF you can get a spot, otherwise it's hotels and rental cars and shit. It's a logistical nightmare, but a Rage reunion, and the fucking Happy Mondays and that the freakshow/trainwreck that's likely to be are almost worth it on their own.

LizTurtle said...

Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot until now! All DCers, but most especially Jo, must pick up a City Paper this week! Very interesting article & when I saw it, I immediately thought of Jo. Dang. And those drunken noodles didn't stick around & my apple is gone. I will eat tapioca now. Hopefully that will stick a little better.

m said...

oh god. that lineup is amazing. i really want to go.. who is up for actually planning out this shit

Josephus said...

M meet helio, OWFL Music Festival Planner Supreme.

Josephus said...

HALF-SMOKES!!!

Way to go LT!

LizTurtle said...

I knew you would appreciate it most, Jo!

Heliocentric said...

Diz, I believe when I first started coming here your avatar was in fact Disco Stu. Thereby making the Disco the operative part of your name, and what followed was nekid, which means without clothes. SO nerd it up all you like, you will always be doing the saturday night feaver in the buff when I read your coments.

M. I have planned the Bonnaroo experience for years now and have a pretty good knack for it. I hope PeeP, Jo, Lady A, and Dipso can vouch for me on that front.

I can not predict if I'll be able to go to the roo until I know about my professional situation. I can't afford the money if I'm still a temp. I can't afford the time if my job doesn't provide good vacation.

LizTurtle said...

Disco Stu doesn't advertise.

Josephus said...

M - I have no idea what a feed reader is, so no.

LizTurtle said...

Jo, it's not feed reader. It's fee dreader. And he's talking about the fees for the Chicago boat tours. They were pretty steep. Yep, that's gotta be it. Lose your fear, M! Then thing's go back to normal.

m said...

you guys lose more and more nerd points every day.

LizTurtle said...

aw, rats!

so Quake, you coming to the Dr's or what? I'm really looking forward to Punchy.
