GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (19 Viewers)

It’s early.  Crossing 4 time zones today.  No naan oven in site.  The plus side is I get to see lava in person for the first time evah.  There’s a guy I work with on my first flight to Phoenix.  He’s going to Tahoe.  That sounds nice.  I don’t ever talk to him.  He’s not friendly.  I’ll check in later after my time travel is done for the day.

 
Kids are dumb

My 9 year old wants the game Trouble for Christmas.   I told him he already has Scooby-Doo Trouble but for some insane reason he wants the regular one.  I was going to ignore it but wife said he asked his stupid Elf for it today 

Seems like he should be figuring out this Santa scam by now but pretty sure he's still buying into it and not just playing us

The elf has got to be the worst invention of the last 50 years.

Yeah it sucks.  It does come in handy sometimes though.   He asked Santa for one of those GPS Gizmo watches then I found out they're Verizon only (we don't have) so I told him the elf told me Santa couldn't bring it because it wouldn't work because we don't have Verizon 

So he said maybe Santa could just bring him an Xbox One instead (Grandpa is actually getting one for them)

have not seen a single one on FB, thank santa.

so this thing- it sits there spying on the kid, who's not allowed to touch it or do anything bad or they get nothing? yeah, that makes sense.

Yep and then you get drunk and forget to move it one night and have to come up with some lame excuse 

"He's tired"

"He had a good spot "

Last year we forgot to put his stupid magic raindeer away after Christmas 

 
I made the mistake of sitting our Elf next the legos on our dining room table one day.  My daughter hadn't played with them in a week, figured it was a safe spot.  Nope.  Massive freakout in the morning "I WAS GOING TO PLAY LEGOS TODAY!!!".   I had to go get the BBQ tongs and relocate the stupid thing.    The first few years we had it, it seemed to work and could get the girls to listen.  A few times I left a note from the Elf saying she stayed at the North Pole for the day due to all the screaming and crying, that would shut them up.  This year, other than the race to find it each morning they couldn't care less about it.

If they can't find it I play stupid and try to encourage them to maybe look in the room I hid the thing, or walk around with them and "find" it.  My wife hid it once, girls couldn't find it, when my wife came downstairs (having not been downstairs yet in the morning) she goes "Oh, did you try looking on the shelf above your coat hook next to your school books?"   Really, the first thing out of your mouth is the exact location it is sitting?  Unluckily my kids got their smarts from my wife so they didn't pick up that my wife couldn't possibly know the exact spot without looking.

:lmao: Are you married to my wife?

 
We get a monthly Office of Foreign Assets Control List (showing individuals who may support drug trafficking, etc.) and I forwarded an email to myself after adding a coworkers name (with funny aliases and comments like "DOB - unknown, won't tell").  Another coworker calls me over and says that her email doesn't have the person's name on it.  She actually thought it was real.

So just mixing that mystery run off liquid back into the egg salad and eating it anyway wasn't the right answer.  Duly noted for next time.
