GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (12 Viewers)

You got inanimate objects being portrayed with human emotions, personalities, and actions. :shrug:
I got people wearing costumes. :shrug:

I think of something like this.

I'm not proud of even seeing or raising the point in the first place (unless my english teacher mom is reading.... hi mom!... didja see?!- I corrected somebody's use of a word. I know, right- I'm awesome!).

 
gm, i'm curious, how old is kellen?

my daughter and i got caught in a sudden rain fall on our walk home from school. it was glorious. we laughed the whole time, got soaking wet, stomped in puddles, the whole bit. it's cool being a dad
He's 12. Pretty serious kid, brings his novels with him everywhere he goes, saves up money to buy things he wants like a laptop. Likes to tinker things - take them apart, reassemble them. Decent soccer player and that's really the only sport he enjoys playing. He watches almost none of them. Thinks football is populated by cavemen, though he won our first family fantasy football league this past year despite knowing maybe 1-2 players. Into his music. Set up some sort of server for his buddies to play Minecraft and they all view him as an IT god. When we need a new TV or appliance, we have him research the best deal, price and reviews and then buy it. He thrives on that stuff. Loves planning trips that involved air travel and looking for deals on those. He's not like me at all.

His 10 year old brother is my clone. Good student, but not an over achiever. Was asked to take the tests for TAG, but was politely informed 'not quite there'. Watches ESPN in the morning before school, watches most of the games with me, plays every sport we let him play and then backyard sports of those we don't. Has more friends than the rest of our family combined, gets along with everybody but is a fierce competitor when it comes to sports. He plays on my U12 team and doesn't shy away from contact from kids much bigger. Very thoughtful, well mannered, funny, great with his little sister.

Outside of looking a like, the two of them could not be more different than they are.

Just had lunch with Cal and his GF. :mellow:

Anyhow, she was writing on 3x5 index cards during lunch and I asked her what she was doing. Turns out she is writing a play called White Sparrow and apparently this isn't her first rodeo in this genre. She explained it's about a guy that falls in love with a woman but she is known to run around with other men (exact quote) but he decides to marry her anyway. After a few months of marriage she notices that he is hanging around another man quite often.

I tuned out after that....

Taking the kids to the Reds game tonight for "Star Wars night".

This will be my daughter's first game. We are planning on staying afterwards for fireworks. I have a feeling it is going to be a long night keeping her entertained.
get there for the end of the 6th inning.

I don't think I could even do a whole baseball game any more- let alone hang out longer for fireworks (fireworks sound better to me than the game). but damn- those first moments walking into the stadium and seeing the green field, crisp uniforms- hearing the sounds of game, hot-dogs and beer always taste better (even though I know outside of the stadium they'd taste like dog-food) too... :wub: but then by the 2nd inning, I'm done.

eta: dammit- I started typing all of this being so excited for your kid, and then I remembered how boring baseball is. still excited for you and the kid to share this first moment though...
This is one of my best friends to the T. Walks into Comsikey, orders 2 dogs and a beer, consumes it and starts looking for the door.

If it's a day game and a chance to work on the tan, he might see the game become official.

One of the great things I love about my new job is that I don't have a company credit card. I've already racked up enough points for a free flight. :thumbup:

 
I think Floppos point, tedious as it is, is that anthropomorphizing is to assign an animal or other non-human thing with human qualities. Which is not exactly the same as walking around wearing costumes.

:yawn:

Unless they weren't wearing costumes and they were actually anthropomorphic bottles of catsup and mustard.

Hate myself for responding.

So, 12? ;) they sound like great kids. I was just curious as to how old he was in regards to staying home alone all day. But loved the insight.
I tend to gush about my kids. Only thing I feel like I haven't royally screwed up*

Your boys sound awesome.

I have been in the habit of gushing about my kids too, but my older two...

I actually dreamed that my daughter died last night and woke up in a panic, actually sobbing. I've never been more relieved to find out I had been dreaming.

No, the stress of dealing with their BS isn't affecting me at all...

Confirmed

 
You got inanimate objects being portrayed with human emotions, personalities, and actions. :shrug:
Is it ono-motto-pee-a?
Is it pee?
Turns out it's been mustard this whole time.
Man, if I could get a girl to ejactulate mustard, damn....I'd go full dog on sprinkler on that.

Hell, if I could get a girl to ejaculate period, that would be swell.
:lmao:

This wasn't a costume party, ace. They were definitely playing the parts of the food.

And yet they are still giving non-human things human qualities...which is the whole "joke" of the ad.

They're not wearing Halloween costumes, Webster.

 
Tower of Terror is the next Disney ride to be made into a movie. :lmao:

Guillermo del Toro is directing. :oldunsure:

My 6 year old asked if he could see this and I thought he said Mixels movie which is a Lego thing and then he showed me the poster and I told him no. I just told him it wasn't appropriate for him

He also asked if I was planning to see Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and I told him no and he told me it looked funny

I assume he'll grow out of it...right :oldunsure:

 
The Most Distinctive Cause of Death for Each State

Some interesting ones:

Florida - HIV

Louisiana - Syphilis

Alabama & Tennessee - Firearms accidents

New Mexico, Nevada, and Oregon - Killed by Law Enforcement
I had to look that up

By "distinctive," they essentially mean where the rate of the death for that particular cause is highest, relative to the national average.For example, Oklahoma accounted for 24 percent of all the U.S. deaths for “other acute ischemic heart diseases,” despite having only slightly more than 1 percent of the nation's population. By removing the most common causes of death nationwide, like cancer and heart disease, it provides a unique look at where certain issues stick out and also highlights how different states have different standard for certifying deaths.
