Day drinking on a Monday. By myself. Why?

Pick a reason:

A). Favorite aunt, one of my Dad's twin sisters, diagnosed with breast cancer.

B). Favorite office mate Vipul - with whom I played poker with every day after the market close - has moved to Connecticut for good.

C). Celebrating the wire I received this morning related to the sale of my house.

D). New house is too cluttered and female filled with uber pregnant wife, well meaning but uber curious MIL and darling but uber energetic 3 year old daughter demanding my attention.

E). Because #### you, that's why

F). All of the above.

 

[kevzilla]

F) Hang in there, GB

E is always my answer.

G. Reason? What are we, women?

I was in Portland Friday night. Went to a Japanese place and drank a whole bunch of cocktails called "Really Spicy". Habenero infused vodka, lime, simple syrup and muddled cilantro.

Good stuff.

H. So I don't get the shakes.

So yeah, I've been absent for a while, but it doesn't mean that I haven't been working.

Oh, and I bring gifts! Seriously, I really, really want one of those.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I. To feel alive

 

[Captain Quinoa]

Has it been fun? I think it has been fun.

Watching the HR derby horse#### with my sons. My older son (not a baseball fan) said "I think that they should just have random balls thrown at them every few pitches...like a whiffleball or a tennis ball or a cheese ball..."

 

[Annyong]

Or a golf ball

I think your older son should be eaten by an alligator

The wife came in and wanted to know why the pitcher got to hide behind a screen. When I said "so they don't get killed" she said "well then why don't they use the screen during games?"

 

[heckmanm]

National anthem girl had PIPES

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Bimbo "What's your strategy going forward?"

Prince Fielder "Just try to hit every ball over the fence."

 

[tommyboy]

Stroke it hard baby, real hard

 

[kevzilla]

Don't throw a cheese ball at Prince Fielder.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Don't throw a cheese ball at Prince Fielder.

Because he'd eat it?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Don't throw a cheese ball at Prince Fielder.

Because he'd eat it?

Because he's lactose intolerant.

Cow ball would be a good one.

In Chicago for work and at a bar. Rail thin blondo drinking whiskey next to me and not talking. Pretty sure I'm in love.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I have a tremendous favor to ask you.

Offer to let her grab your junk.

Is there a panel missing?

Brilliant.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

"Maybe, what is it?"

"Could you help me get this lampshade off of my neck? I got a little drunk at the party last night."

"Yeah."

Getting HBO et al for 3 months free. I am terrified of the True Detective thread, so I'll just ask it in here. If I enjoyed the first season, will I enjoy the 2nd or is it a trainwreck. Outside of Swingers, I'm not a huge Vince Vaughn fan and I don't think I've ever seen a Collin Firth movie (though I could be wrong, I'll wiki him now).

No clue, as I haven't started watching this season yet. I just love following along with the thread title changes.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I think I broke Netflix's brain. Under the heading "Because you watched The Sixth Sense" the first three titles are The Beverly Hillbillies movie, Urban Cowboy, and Mr Mom.

Not exactly genre-specific recommendations there.

#### you both

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Sorry GM, your thread went to ####

I know. If we were a sitcom we'd be at the precipice where a new baby or adopted child is introduced in hopes of saving it.Twins, even.

When is time for the wedding episode in Hawaii, I'm oot.

Or when you hop on that bike and jump a shark. Either way.

Or when this guy joins your group of friends

He kind of broke the "McGinley Curse" with Married With Children. It got better after he joined the cast.

True. But his happy days/love boat runs, well...

Agreed. It was great addition to my RSS feed.

Tried to install a dryer last night after many drinks. That might not have been my finest idea.

No gas.

Couldn't get the vent to connect. I'm sure the whiskey helped.

 

[Abraham]

Getting the right adapter for the vent connection, and making sure the solder and adhesive go together, and flexing the bevel for maximum temperature disapation can be challenging for anyone. You shouldn't feel bad that you failed.

Yeah, it was the connect vent part that I found challenging.

I'm not going to claim I could do it, since I am about as un-handy as any American man could be.

But I probably could do it.

Probably a conflict with Netflix.

iron sheik will help

 

[Ignoramus]

That's good. I was really worried about you for a minute there. Screwing up a gas connection can end very, very badly.
