GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (4 Viewers)

[El Floppo]

I'm really naive about the beetus.... but glad to hear that GM son is doing ok.

what does this mean for him moving forward? curious about the day-to-day.

just googled people with it... is he doomed to a cutleresque failure of a life? or does it mean he gets to have a completely awesome stache like catfish hunter? or maybe break the race barrier like jackie robinson, but albino style? or waste his life as a supreme court justice like sonia sotomayor?

all the best to you guys.

Are you being punished?

Come on, man. Cooper will never be as punchable as Jay Cutler.

You Googled "diuhbeetus" and didn't get a single hit for Wilford Brimley?

Either the internet is broken or you did something wrong.

Come on, man. Cooper will never be as punchable as Jay Cutler.

Could anyone be? I don't even care about Chicago sports and I want to punch him

I mentioned before about how my family sucks at group texting.

This AM my mom sends out her daily "I'm still alive" text. Actually she had my great nephew send it:

Mom cell: French toast and bacon at grandmas send it send it love jack

Then there are the obligatory 3 texts from my brothers and sister "sounds yummy, Jack" ##ckers

30 mins later my brother (single, no kids) asks if anybody wants to see Star Wars in 3D on Xmas day. Other brother replies that his family will be hosting a bunch of people at his house so "no". Sister replies saying the exact same thing. I reply "thanks but no thanks". That pretty much covers all family members since heads of households replied.

Son of a ##### then sends out a completely new group text about going to see SW that now includes all of our spouses and kids. JFC.

Beerkid sends me this "GOD DAMIT IM IN A FAMILY GROUP CHAT NOW!

I laugh and tell him "welcome to my hell". And then I tell him "ask to be removed, seriously".

He comes back with "I don't even want to reply. If I do, they win."

This all sounds ####ing horrible.

I've just posted the tip of the black iceberg, mon frayer.

Turn off text notifications. Check every hour or two, or daily, whatever level you are comfortable severing. Read the ones of interest, ignore the rest. Break the shackles, man.

Unfortunately that would prevent me from getting texts that are actually important.

like pics of boots of PBR from Bakersfield!

Last 10 days have been one jolt after another.

Spoiler

• Buried a good friend last Friday. 39 years old, he left a job printing money at Goldman Sachs to work for Sony, then after two years started his own artist management company. Last time i spoke to him he had just returned from his 2nd pilgrimage to Burning Man. He's single and I'm pretty busy so we haven't been hanging out, but we worked a bunch of 16 hour days together during the dot com explosion/implosion ('99-'00.) Mostly a FB/IG friend lately. No one knows what happened or why, but he fell (or jumped) from his balcony December 13.
• My best friend's sister, 44, died after a long bout with cancer. More of a peripheral friend but heartbreaking. Two children, 8 and 5. Not looking forward to the Shiva visit today.
• Found out this morning one of my early career mentors died yesterday. He's been awaiting a heart transplant.

All 3 younger than me.

Life is fragile.

is this a table made out of legos? or just a table for your kid to make the legos?

I've seen your work, so either way I know it's going to be pretty kickass.

I was going to put castors on it, but decided not to. They would just roll it around and climb on crap if they could. This thing is heavy as hell, so it's not breaking or going anywhere. Putting them on the sides is funny. Maybe when they graduate fr Duplo Blocks I'll make one like that, and a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Urologist appointment was this morning. I asked about a scalpelless procedure and he kind of stammered that "due to the... uh smaller... uh area of my testes" he'll have to use the scalpel.

I shudder to think how tiny my weiner would look if I had a normal-sized ballsack.

This will be the last time I take Christmas week off, I think. Basically she's been going out shopping everyday and night. Stupid.

I don't think anyone is debating that castor is indeed a word. It's just not the word for wheels at the bottom of furniture.

I'm working a few hours today and then making a 9 hour trek to SC. Then an 8 hour drive tomorrow.

I'm taking suggestions on good podcasts, iHeart stations or Sirius XM stations.

i had to run to the grocery store twice because I bought the wrong kind of cheese so I feel your pain

• Caster (or Castor), an undriven, single, double, or compound wheel

eta: really looks like it's half of one, six dozen of the other here... let's just all agree and move on.

I would estimate that between Xmas eve and Xmas day I have to drive a total of 6 miles.

Maybe from 4x4s. Maybe. They could be 2x4s. It could also be a milk crate maybe with a piece cardboard ziptied to it. Maybe.
