GM's thread about nothing (14 Viewers)

I have trouble convincing myself to meet dudes from the internet. So, the guys that have to do it with their wives crack me up to no end. :lmao: I would love to hear that conversation.

Walked in to local Irish pub I haven't been to in a while. Irish bartender take my order of a Guinness and a shot of Jameson. She gives me a a big kiss on the cheek and says "Welcome home."

:wub:

 
Fishing has always been been (for me) code for "sitting on a bank or boat somewhere and getting ####ed up".

I love fishing.

gm, if you ever decide to take the kids fishing again, i found a spectacular spot near Madras you can take the kids and virtually guarantee you'll catch 3-5 lb wild trout. no boat required. PM if interested.

How about GM taking a couple of his degenerate buddies?I'd fly up for a weekend to get drunk and catch fish with sonny and gm

What the hell gm? You've got four GBs practically begging to take you out fishing and drinking and you don't even respond? I thought you needed to learn how to fish so you could teach your boys the manly arts.
Tell you what, fellas. If you guys are SERIOUS about coming out to Oregon, we will rent a house in Sun River and fly fish on the Deschutes. We can also play golf, ski, river raft and play lots and lots of poker. Because of the economy, we can probably find a monster house for very cheap. Considering our penchant for talking a big game but never really delivering, I suggest we target June 2012.
I hate fishing but will be there. Guaranteed.

Is this tricky ####, or just how twitter works?

That should work...
I wanna go, but i don't want to fish or do anything that takes a lot of energy.
You're ####### going. I'll pick you up.

I bought one of those nose trimmer things too, but haven't noticed any white hairs. It doesn't seem like it works when I'm using it, but then I'm picking boogs for days with hairs involved.I'm down for loads of fishing trips. June in Oregon with smoking priveledges sounds grand although if I commit to that, I'm afraid Maxwell might find his way here and become incensed I haven't committed to other conrnholes he's suggested. Let me know when something has been finalized. I'm fairly sure my finances will finally be in order by then.
good point, but fishing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> skiing
erroneous
 
Okay- if we want to do this next spring (in addition the fishbachery brong and I do this fortnight), I say we rent a place for two weeks now for next May or whenever BEFORE school lets out. We just pay now and all investors have a two week window to make it to fishcamp012.

I hate them more than anything. Had to learn how to live with them 24 hours a day. I've basically learned every possible way to limit their invasions. Even down to duck-taping my screens. I can have the door open for 5 seconds and they'll get in. They smell me a mile away. I welt up like crazy even if I kill them a split second after their proboscis lances me. I'd almost trade a bee sting for them. They almost killed me in Peru one time, those ####ers. I wish I was one of those people they don't really like.
:goodposting: , except for the nearly dying in Peru.How do we become the people they don't like? Should we take up Werewolf? Become mimes? Mr. krista claims that they like people with more iron in their blood, and I'm generally a vegetarian. :hot:

I'm mostly a saltwater guy but I will fish trout occasionally. Been years since I flyfished though. I don't even have any fly gear anymore.

Since we're getting into some gambling talk, check this out. I have a sizable chunk on Matt Cain under 13 1/2 wins on the season. He's at 12. I have the same chunk of change on the Giants under 88 1/2 wins on the season. They're at 84, with 6 remaining. 3 of those at home against Colorado who they just swept at Colorado. Colorado has completely quit and is starting AAA players. I expect the Giants to sweep those.SOOO, not only is Cain going tonight but it's against AZ, of course. This game doesn't get any bigger, for me anyway. And by moving Cain up in the rotation today, he now gets two starts. Cain's stuff is filthy tonight too, I'm screwed. Only 59 pitches through 5 too. Meanwhile, Saunders has been lucky to only give up 1 so far.Pray for me.Beer 5.
Good start. Not sure how much it helps your wins on the season bet, though, as there's no telling what the D-backs throw out there tomorrow now.

Not to mention people interested in sports.

Can sit in lawn chairs in my buddy's backyard, drink beer and catch and release trout from his pond. Most are 4-6 lbs but he has a couple over 10. Not very sporting, but the effort/reward ratio is great.

a successful life is one that consistently achieves good effort/reward ratios. I'd be very down to do this. Is there a lodge or hotel or motel nearby? Can I bring brong?

Hotels and bars nearby. I also have 2 extra bedrooms 6 days a week, although one is pink and has unicorns and princesses everywhere. Brong's always welcome.
 
No Goldblum fans?
Yes yes. Yes, without the oops. Thataway.
Fishing has always been been (for me) code for "sitting on a bank or boat somewhere and getting ####ed up". I love fishing.
I go ice fishing every year with my GBs. I also go out on the boat with them every once in a while. I don't bring a pole, I don't bring a tip-up but I throw in a few bones for bait. I don't care. I show up with some beer, some beef jerky and I hang out and catch a ####-ton of bottle bass. They try to teach me but I just can't get into it. Don't get me wrong, catching a nice 14" walter is nice but I just can't get "serious business" about it. If beer is involved, beer is what I focus on. If I'm invited I need to start working on a plan now. Is there a specific date range set yet? And can us non-fishermen come too?The pot, fungi and yeyo were my substances of choice a while back. Opium a few times sprinkled on some pot. Smoked the big C twice. Never X, H, acid etc.

Yeah, thought about that but what's the alternative, ya know? Cain at home against the Rockies next week was nearly a lock so this was basically it. Been rooting for Atlanta and Saint Louis so the giants would pack it in as well, but they haven't exactly been helping things. Anyway, that inadvertently ended up the most I'd ever had riding on a single baseball game. 11.

I had a bad trip on liquid acid, made a really stupid mistake and took too much. I didn't think I was gonna come out of it; it was the worst. That was the last time I did that.

Can we get some beer counts in here tonight? Curious who the boozers are...

YES, big sack for BYU-1 1/2! GO BYU -1 1/2!!!
:hey:
 
Welcome Sam, I'm still here gb, ramping up actually before hitting the sack.

12, yay!, Look at me, I did a 12'er, lol.

 
Landed on this Jersey Shore ####. They are in Italy. It is awful. Like really embarrassing Americans awful. The only thing I like about it is the fact jason woods is incensed about how it depicts his home state. Keep it up girls. :thumbup:

Tanner > you related to those Lafond girls? You lookin' kinda creepy with your mouth half-open in that pic.
I'm a little lafond of them. /HJS
Jesus, that picture is mega awesome. GO TANNER!
:lmao: I deleted my tag in that photo. I look like way too much like a sicko. I've known those girls since they were born. 3 of them are my bro-in-law's nieces (his brother's kids). Very sweet girls.One of them is 18 and absolutely beautiful. Just stunning...and not in a pervy way.

I know a couple of other people took pics of us together and I hope somebody posts one that doesn't make me look like Roman Polanski. The main point was that they put on those Bears t-shirts for the reception and I was wearing a navy and orange tie.
I tried to use that picture earlier, but I couldn't because you were in it. I'm not sure if that's a compliment to you or not.
Alright, that's enough. This pic needs to be released into the GMTAN. :popcorn:

EDIT: 9
You should have been there during Sunday Tailgating at PJ20. Explained the many times I've had to explain to Mrs. TF on "What I was doing" and "Who I was going with" for all of the FBGs that I have to TU and BeTheMatch.She's actually met Zilla, KidC, Gator, JoeT, Jplvr, Wilked and CGRDRJoe

ETA: I've posted this a few times, just went and found it

True story here.

One of the years we were up at $cupper's cabin, Mrs. TF went to a party with all of our friends that we normally socialize with. She was consistently asked by everyone where I was. Her response was (paraphrasing) "In Minnesota at some camp having a fantasy draft with his internet friends"....over the night and multiple drinks it morphed into that I was attending "Fantasy Football Camp". Couple that with the few times I entered WCOFF with :11: guys, and that story has stuck forever.

Now at every FF draft, whenever someone is pondering what to do - "Hey TF, what do they teach you to do in this situation at fantasy camp"; or if I make a sleeper pick - "Must've been in the fantasy camp newsletter, eh?"

It will never end

:lmao:
Also, this thread was pretty amusing - http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=313008

had a root canal yesterday and the dentist gave me lortab in case I had any pain this weekend. I took one last night and it didn't seem to affect me (I was just laying in the bed watching tv), so I didn't think anything of taking one this morning when I got to work. I guess the reason I notice the effects now is because I'm up and moving around. It's a nice little buzz :thumbup:

kinda wish I had more than 20. :(

 
Hopefully Wyoming won't embarrass itself too much today against the Huskers. Not a great segway to conference play after 3-0 start.

Are you flying into San Jose or Liberia (I don't know where Puerto Viejo is)? Either would be an easy flight to Managua. :) A lot easier to come to Nicaragua by air anyway...you can take a bus from Costa Rica but the border crossing is notoriously crappy. Coming by air is a breeze.
