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

[Frostillicus]

I went on a date recently with a girl I met on eHarmony. I mentioned to her that my dad's been beating me with jumper cables on a regular basis for over 28 years (I always have to cross that bridge eventually), and she then told me that her uncle molested her when she was 14. I was like, woah, ease up lady, it's only our first date.

one time my uncle, while drunk (shocker I know), walked into a fancy place downtown, went up to the bar. Bartender stopped him short, said you're underdressed, you won't fit in here. uncle being a wiseass goes back to his car, gets his jumper cables and ties them in a fancy knot around his neck, walks back in, says to the bartender, oh can I fit in now? Sure, says bartender, just don't try to start nothin.Take that to the bank bromingos

Out of likes for the day because apparently this is Nazi Germany.

Quick, someone say that you dislike a common food.

I hate stadium hot dogs.

The Dodger Dog, in spite of It's fame, is likely the worst food product you can buy at a sporting event.

I had a Dodger Dog two years ago and thought it completely lived up to it's rep as a pretty awesome hot dog.

TRE - Congrats on your Cubs making the NLCS

So much going on in the FFA tonight that I don't get. I feel like I'm high.

The forums at FFToday are down so the guys that are given free reign to troll over there migrated over here because their warped brains can't handle the inability to irritate others for more than a couple of days. It's a desperate cry for attention.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Twins great Tony Oliva was at Best Buy HQ today signing autographs. Since we're all Cubs fans now, I threw pennies at him.

Walked right by him today. Were you there?

I was.

 

[GroveDiesel]

FWIW, if this OG_GF really is the GiantsFan guy from FFToday, he is the one that made up some big lie about how he went into NYC on 9/11 to go help with the rescue efforts. One of the biggest AWs I've ever seen.

Whoever said in one of those threads that FBGs would be smart to just go ahead and ban him now is on the money. With his past reputation and current trolling here, seems like he should have a really short leash.

people in the office are going ape-#### for the first Chick fil-a to open in NYC (around the corner).

pretty sure it's pronounced "chick feel-uh".

I once overheard someone pronounce it "Chick-A-Fill".

 

[cosjobs]

I think he was looking for a canoe, guys.

I thought he was talking stuffed eggplant with crawfish and I was having a hard time imagining that as ballpark food.

Put it on stick and fry it, duh

 

[cosjobs]

I used to always want to go to the old Tigers stadium... loved the look of it, even if I'm sure those columns were a little... in the way.

Funny you should say that - my dad and I made a dedicated trip there to see if before they tore it down, late in its final season. It poured and poured for an hour and we thought we were going to have to just say "well, we were within the gates, we saw it, even if no one actually played baseball," but it suddenly cleared up and they got the game in. Anyhoo, our seats were right behind one of those columns. Cracked us up. I'm still sad they tore that one down instead of trying to renovate it, but Comerica is very, very nice.

Here are two seats from Tiger Stadium, mounted to my cabin deck.

ALL MY LIKES

that's **absolutely awesome** !!

Yeah I have two more that haven't been rehabbed yet. I think I might actually sell them.

Blah blah patina blah blah lost most of the value /antiquesroadshow

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

I was listening to sports talk radio yesterday and one of the hosts said that he would be fine with a female GM for the Phillies because "women are more rational and she would be less likely to be emotional when making decisions."

I think he was being serious.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

PNC is just a masterpiece. I'm not sure there's another park that captures the true city, not just a certain neighborhood, from the seats quite like PNC does.

I definitely want to check it out one day. I walked all around the Giants stadium in SFO but didn't get to see a game there. It is spectacular and perhaps captures the essence of its city too.

I am not much of a baseball fan, but it is a great, great park. It is a terrible place to watch a football game though. Hopefully they won't have any more there.

Personally would like to see Kim Ng get the Phillies job if she's qualified, which I think she is from what I've read and heard from her over the past few seasons, and I don't particularly care what gender she is.

Sexy vampire dentist.

I bought custom made enamel vampire teeth like 10 years ago- from some heavily pierced chick who clearly did this kind of thing year-round, but allowed the boring peeps in for Halloween.

I've been a "x" + vampire every year since then. worst vampire ever.

pretty sure it's pronounced "chick feel-uh".

I still don't understand the appeal. One opened near me and they had to redirect traffic to accommodate it. Their food is nothing special. Wendy's chicken sandwiches are better.

White people are head-spinningly stupid.

When Red Lobster opened up here about 10 years ago (actually reopened since there was one here about 15 years before that but it closed) people started lining up at about 5am. I wish I was kidding.

Oh yeah, I believe it. They opened a Popeyes in Beaverton about 10 years ago. It was an hour long plus at the drive-thru for weeks. People out here lost their ever loving minds over it. What's funny is that there's been a Popeyes on MLK Jr for decades, so it isn't like it was impossible to find. Now when I drive by I hardly see anybody in the restaurant and the drive-thru is a ghost town.

"Why are you so excited? We've had a Popeye's here for years. It's over by the payday loan place and the discount cigarette store."

"Exactly"

Can we set up some sort of crowdsourcing to fund whatever it will cost to get the fftoday forums back up?

just met gb BL for lunch... I jokingly threw out meeting at the chickafeel, and he called my bluff.

and then reported that there was a line around the block to get in. he reported live- and loudly- on the cell while walking past the line what idiots these people are.
