Please axe me about

"We weren't just participating... We were the best!"

Antebellum fucko fever

I've been researching Yellow Fever a bit this summer, and have come across many an example of the New Orleans fucko continuum. The following item from the Picayune detailing the summer funk of 1837 seems to have particular resonance today. From 172 years later, I feel ya:

The levee is dull, dreary and lifeless at this time. No business doing, and the few ships in port are losing money for want of cargoes. Steamboats arrive but seldom, and bring neither news, money or goods. Every person feels like sleeping or running away for the next three weeks and a half - but most of those now in the city are bound to stay, to fulfill engagements, live or die. We make out to bury our dead, drink juleps, or brandy toddies, talk to each other and read letters and the news of the day...

Gv me the wd 4 Unconscious Forecasting

July
3, early, I
say to Janine – summer
here gives you that Life goes on, Long
after

the thrill
of living is
gone feeling. Later that
night (news to me) on NPR,
Fresh Air

has John
Mellencamp on
the program. Themes are put
out there – Race, Mortality, Girls –
if Girls

counts as
a theme. But it
all leads up to a dis-
cussion of that exact line, of
course, right?

the line

Urban Dictionary Definition of UNDAY

Hey Undayers-

It's been so long since I signed onto The Unday that I forgot how to get here. So I simply googled Unday and found that Urban Dictionary had a listing. When I clicked on it here's what I found:


1. unday
unday means balls or eggs in urdu/hindi. unday can be referred to both; chicken eggs, and human male eggs(balls).


1. look his unday(balls) are showing. Tere unday nazar aa rahey hain.
2. look the chicken is laying eggs(unday).

2. unday
The period of time that occurs during the events of Saturday Night and Monday (or sometimes even Tuesday) Morning that nobody has recollection of after the comedown/hangover of a big weekender. After unday, you will feel like you have lost a day that you could have legitimately used for sleeping or recovering for work/uni the next day but can't because that day seems to have dissolved into nothingness and you probably knocked yourself out for over 24 hours.
A: *wakes up* Man I feel like shit... what time is it? we've got to go meet up with Sasha
B: That was yesterday. It's Monday today. And we're late for Uni again.
A: Shit whatever happened to sunday?
B: It's not sunday, It's Unday.

Sunrise on Friday, dPercussion on Saturday, Rave Saturday evening, Afterparty on Sunday, then it's Bank Holiday Unday.

It's a similiar but different definition of ours. Instead of Unday being the day to accomplish your shit that you didn't accomplish while partying, this definition makes an extra partying day into an Unday and BLAMES the Unday for not having that day to recover/sleep off your hangover!

Also, let us not forget the primary definition. Chicken or human male egg (balls)!
