GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (28 Viewers)

Officially part of the vast government bureaucracy. Pulled a spot on the Economic Propserity Commission. Can't wait for the kickbacks to start rolling in.

 
pats win nets me $500 and i have all my players alive in gm's magic playoff thingy.  who is eyes slanted shut?  we have the same lineup

 
Since I know many of you avoid the shark pool like sobriety...

Here was my take on having to admit the greatness of Belichick and Brady

It's like when your wife agrees to watch porn with you every 5 years or so.   And there's a dude in the porn that's packing some serious meat.  And your wife says something like "geez, that guy has a huge ####".  Maybe she says it more than once.  Maybe she says "massive" or "giant". 

Now you're feeling inadequate.  You don't like the tone in her voice.  You don't like the way she's riveted to the screen.  

Ultimately, although a little part of you dies inside, you have to agree "yeah, he's got a giant ####".

Today was the second session of Pistols and Pizza with the older scouts from our troop and a few others.

Pistols: After reviewing safety and instruction from the first session when they shot .22's, we went to an outdoor range (thank you global warming for a 50 degree day in Cincinnati in January!). After blasting away at paper targets for a bit, they  set up some steel plates, which was really fun. Fun to the point where my son only asked about three dozen times if we could buy a gun on the way home.

Pizza: First session we had 12 scouts and about 8 adults. The guy in charge of pizza came back with a whopping 4 pizzas: 2 pepperoni, 1 veggie, 1 cheese. Of course the scouts go through and dutifully take their allotted number of slices (not nearly enough to satisfy teenage boys) and  the adults end uplooking at like 2 pieces of cheese and the whole stupid veggie pizza. 

Fast forward to this week: We tell the guy to come back with double the amount of pizzas. He polled the scouts and I heard every last one for them tell him  they  like meat on their pizzas. He comes back with 6 pizzas that probably equaled out to the 4 from the first week: 2 pepperoni, 2 cheese, 1 green peppers, and 1 mushroom.....

tl/dr: Don't put the vegetarian guy who looks like the lovechild of David Cross and the abominable snow bumble from Rudolph in charge of pizza. Ever.

 
Man. I cannot even imagine the hot and cold running tail there must be at those Economic Planning Commission meetings. So jealous.

You should have learned your lesson the first time.  

Never let that guy do anything again, except maybe latrine duty but I wouldn't trust him to do that either.

Fun facts:  I'm in a double elimination survivor league at work.  There are 3 of us left.  The playoffs, of course, are single elimination.  All three of us have the Falcons.  What's weird is it also keeps track of "margin of victory" points (but they don't come into play).

Me and another guy have the same total.

What happens if you all take the same team in the Super Bowl?

Maybe you shoukd have someone else get pizza, epicurious.

 
somebody mentioned a movie called The Architect in another thread... had to look it up. Here's part of a review... I think we may be on to something...

Jonathan Parker ("Bartleby"/"The Californians") is writer director of this quirky sitcom comedy about a trio of incompatible seekers of fame, wealth and creativity. Catherine DiNapoli is co-writer of this messy story.

The yuppie couple of Drew (Parker Posey) and Colin (Eric McCormack), against his wishes, hire a pretentious local British architect Miles Moss (James Frain) to build their dream house off the coastline of Seattle. The pompous architect uses flattery to get them to build an ultra-modern house that fits his needs more than theirs. The scarf wearing poser says such idiotic things as "straight lines are a symptom of the new illiteracy," and she laps up those words as if they were pearls of wisdom.

 
In the category "things that surprised me but shouldn't have": We just got our preliminary estimate back from the contractor for the remodel of our new house and it was about 60% more than our target. And significantly more than I could pay for.

what color was that scarf, again?

what phase are you in? 

did you bid the project or is the architect working with a contractor during the design stages?

we do our best to get the numbers close based on our experience doing similar projects... but we're not building it, and don't have control over what the numbers come back as. 60% is a lot though... architect to has to revise... everything... to make this work within your budget.

let me know if you have any questions

Have I mentioned that I work with a ton of architects and contractors?  That probably would have been helpful.   

 
When Mrs Limp comes home yesterday and tells me that she bought something called 'Milk Thistle' because 'its good for your liver'.... I can't help but think that's her way of saying 'you've been drinking too much'.

"You need to cut down on the drinking."

"Are you moving out? Because that would really help with my need to drink."
