GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (9 Viewers)

So. I make my annual pilgrimage to the Baseball Forum to beef about Marvin Miller not getting elected to the HOF again (because I'm a commie, remember) and can't really find an obvious thread to post in. But, man, there's a lot of threads in there talking about baseball. Baseball. Who knew?

My boss and I were bored last week so he asked me to enter us into a Fanduel contest for the RBC Canadian Open.  $25 entry fee, 255 players, top prize $750.  My boss does not play golf, but he likes to watch it.  Neither one of us really has a clue about it.  We frigging won the damn thing.  WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Millions of people watch cricket on TV too. :shrug:

 
I only lasted a few days vegetarian before eating Five Guys Burgers and Fries. 

Slap it high?

I took a couple hundred from the Indians on Sunday. I waved as we drove by. Did you see me?

 
I look at my son, who is just 17 years of age, and at times think I've done my job. He's a great student, getting ready to go away to college next year. Kicks ### at his summer jobs( yes, plural ),has a great wit and seems to be street /common sense smart too. Sure he has flaws, but the good far outweighs the bad.

Then I see the news of David Fehrety's son today ( OD at 29) and get the swift kick in the nutes reminder that my job is never done.

Ferhety's been one of my favorite celebrity personalities since the first time I read one of his columns in the back of whatever Golf magazine he used to pen for. I don't remember which one it was, just know it was always in a friend's ####ter and each time I was in there, I sought it out. He's been to hell and back with his demons and has lived to not only tell about it, but laugh about it too.

I can't imagine this new hell will be any easier than his previous one and only hope he can come out the other side with the same grace and class he did the first time.

I hadn't seen this.

:sadbanana:

Been a big fan of his for a long time too. I had a chance to chat with him when he did an appearance at a conference I attended a while back. He is just as funny and engaging in person as you'd imagine (and hope) he'd be.

:sad:

Me either. Love his show.

Damn. :(  

 
On vacation on the MD shore. 10yo floppinho, 6yo floppinha and some of their cousins are playing... dammit. Couldn't even finish typing "there will be tears". Yep. There it is. Every single time. Floppinha used to power through brick walls without a peep... Now it's tears morning, noon and night.

 
Back in May we had a training session because our district is changing our website(s).  We were able to play around with the templates and customize a few things.  The site wasn't public so a few of us were goofing around just to see what we could do.

Our tech people didn't bother resetting anything when they made the site public the other day.  

My title says "THE History teacher" and my pic is of Mathew Broderick from "Election".  

 
Hey Orton...I got one for you, buddy...

Why did the blind man fall into the well?

He didn't see that well.

YEEEEEEERAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 
I basically use Twitter just to follow beat reporters for teams I like. Was pretty cool to be reading through my Twitter Bills feed today and see a guy that was one of my former students in my youth group pop up interviewing one of my favorite Bills beat reporters.

He graduated from Syracuse's Newhouse school and got a job working for the Buffalo CBS affiliate and is helping cover training camp. Pretty cool to see a former student excelling.

Maybe in a few years he can move up and cover a real team.

Sup, Rudnarski?

Link is dead.  This the one in Tonopah?

I've seen that first hand(from the outside).  If so, it's worse in person than you could even imagine.  

Want to really fall down that wormhole try and find the old Yelp review that a customer posted about the "clown having intercourse with a ham" in the junkyard that's directly out in back of that place.

Watching old Glastonbury Festival footage of Amy Winehouse performing.  She had a terrific voice and a great stage presence.

OK...after the recommendation, I just watched this in full. Great show!  Amy was on!  :thumbup:

And, in the spirit of a terrific voice and great stage presence, I offer this in return:

Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello - "I Want You"  - the emotion displayed here just floors me!

If anyone wants to mock my tastes...

...have at it!  :rant:

BTW: I also love Norah Jones... :wub: ...and I read Bob's thread review...so...just say'in////  :excited:

This is like when I was watching a stand up act at a comedy club once, and during the act some guy got out of his seat and brought up a piece of paper that was apparently some funny cartoon that he received as a fax at work.  So embarrassing.

Fax?!?!

Gheese Belize! 

Was this some sort-a Ol'Timey club?  :loco:

Wait...

My apologies... :bag:

No minor league baseball teams he could be covering?
