GM's thread about nothing (16 Viewers)

[YSR]

Just got the following text from Mr. YSR:

I'll be leaving within an hour to come home and get cleaned up for dinner. This is a perfect night for dinner with my parents. Brooke and Levi (ed. note: sister and nephew) are out for the night.

Which means that this is the night that we will talk with his parents about his sister and their enabling of all of her behaviors, which has led to their "financial ruin" (in their words) and is seeping into our relationship because he takes on some of their stress. I will either not speak at all, or I'll fully speak my mind, which will likely make me pretty unpopular for a while around these parts. It's probably going to be the latter.

You pre-gaming this one?

It's like you don't know me at all.

Heading out now. My poor husband.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Stryker, just wanted to say thanks for pairing YSR/Romo up with me for the Secret Santa! We've had at least 20 e-mails back and forth to get the exact presents each wants. I don't get the "secret" part, though......

I had already paired everyone up and sent them out. You two came in after that. Sorry

Really? I'm not a regular GMTAN guy, but thanks for ruining my Christmas on-line. How's about being a little more attentive next year?

Assuming this is shtick.

Ummm, yeah - it's shtick. Of course it is.

 

[Sarnoff]

Sarnoff - you going to be at the Xmas party on the Lot next Thursday?

Entirely possible. Hoping Pete calls my name for a big screen TV.

I don't even know who Pete is but I hope I win stuff.Let me know. Maybe we can awkwardly have a beer.

Pete = Peter Roth, our President and Fearless Leader. We should get at least something, probably we'll all get Harry Potter or Hangover 2 on DVD. But it turns out the party for my department is this afternoon, so I'll have to cornhole you another time.

Someday.....Plus I already have those movies. I want something fancy.

Hangover 2 DVD received. Did not win the iPad, the Apple Store gift card, or the Southwest Air gift card in the drawing. Damn Animation Dept. won all the good prizes.

1 bag carol shelby mix2. Brown with Carrol Shelby Mix (not the masa part yet)

The race car driver? When did he start making 'mix'?

20 years or so? At least. Oh, stay away from the faux Carrol Shelby Chili mixes (aka "Kit Mixes"). They look great but it's really just a Mustang engine in a fake fiberglass body.

I'll be damned. I used to tutor his grandson and actually took care of him for a weekend while I was in college. Parents rewarded me with an autograph picture from Carol Shelby made out to me. I should dig that up.

I gotta send you some magical brownies for these things. Eat one 30 minutes prior and giggle the night away with your Roy Rogers as these loons hash it out.

THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION IN A SERIOUS AND NON-MOCKING TONE LIKE SOME PEOPLE FROM MAINE!!111

YOU SEE, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT IS JUST LIKE WHEN CHRIS YANDEK DOES AN INTERVIEW AND HE HAS A BILLION TAGS ON THE BOTTOM IN ORDER TO GET MORE SEARCH ENGINE HITS ON THE INTERVIEWS ON HIS WEBSITE!

Ahhhh, okay. Now I'm starting to get it. Thank yoU!

 

[General Malaise]

Yeah, going to need some pics of the 22 year old, Zooks.

You haven't seen them yet?

Her pics make me want to fly across the country and sit in zooks bed room with a pair of night vision goggles and a crock pot.

[General Malaise]

Cell phone alert: Tomorrow night I am attending my company XMAS party and at the same time on the other end of town, my new 22 year old "friend" is attending her company XMAS party. The plan is for both of us to leave the parties early and meet up at the GHOL (Gadzooks House Of Love) I plan on drinking heavily and doing fun things with/to the 22 year old and texting updates. (I'm looking forward to my late night drunk PM to Tanner, please advise of the appropriate alias you'd prefer it go to)

Last night, she came over to "hangout" and she told me how she really hated her job and wanted to quit. I asked what she would do for work if she quit and after a long pause she laughed and said "how about I move in here and be your full time live-in Nanny" (slap it high, GM?) I've become great at making a serious face and pretending to pay attention while she tells me what the Twilight movies are about. I'm pretty sure she's doing the same thing when I'm talking about current events in the world, or pretty much anything I talk about. It's really a perfect arrangement.

If you recall, when I first mentioned her, I was very worried about doing anything with her because I worried it may have some effect on my work. The fact that she is more concerned about keeping us a "secret" than I am definitely made it easier for me to participate in our "activities". She always mentions how everything we talk about or do HAS to stay in our "trust bubble". And finally, after the first time I gave in to temptation with her, I figured it would just be a 1 time thing. But then I exchanged the following the text with her the next day and realized that I owe it to every divorced guy, every horny guy, every average looking guy who doesn't deserve to be doing things with a 22 year old girl, hell I owed it to the GMTAN to stay aboard this ride for as long as I can until I die.

Just started watching Dexter Season 1 on Showtime last week. Already well into season 1. Wife and I love this show. The euphoria of knowing we have something awesome to watch On Demand every night for at least a month or two during this cold winter season is just sublime. What a show. Can't believe I missed this.

Breaking Bad will be next up, though the On Demand feature for this show is lacking.

I just booked a trip to Mexico to stay in my brother's vacation home in Loreto with two women half my age. Things are good in GMTAN these days.

God, I hope you aren't misspelling Laredo

 

[General Malaise]

Left work early, had two beers with my haircut/shampoo/neck shave/scalp massage from a lovely young lady who got tipped well for pretending to laugh at my jokes and saying I looked 'only 30' and am now sucking down a Full Sail Amber. Up next? Dinner at my folks house with my wife and sons...since my sister has started her divorce, she and her STBX will not be there, nor will their obnoxious, poorly behaved, picky eating kids.

Tonight? Tonight I think we rope my boys in for their first game of real Scrabble (I'll team up with the gay one, my wife will team up with the kid going to JuCo in 2020).

Slap it?

Dear YSR and Zooks -

It IS okay to go in facebook Scrabble. Some of us have a victory to defend.

Words with Friends is the preferred game these days. Feel free to play me. I never lose.

Until tat cheats against you.Tat>hi

I've played the ex-UAB punter a LOT. There's no way he's cheating.

My wife's at her Mom's Club Christmas party and both the hellions are asleep, so I'm sitting in the living room in silence, with none of the lights on except for the ones on the Christmas tree, enjoying a bowl of popcorn and the last of the gin in the house for dinner. It's the happiest I've been all week.

Tonight? One kid is at work the other is hanging out with friends. I'm waiting until the wife falls asleep in front of the TV then I'll wake her up. She'll go upstairs and I'll play MW3 with a bunch of 10 year old strangers.

Slap me in the face?

I have nothing interesting to say, but that hasn't stopped me for like six years, so I'll go ahead and post anyway.

Went and cut down a tree in the woods today, putting it up now, the wife's drinking cider and decorating, I'm drinking beer and trying to avoid doing any decorating, we've got some friends coming over for dinner, and life is just grand.

Slap it happy
