Sounds like he's walking in the footsteps of Michael Jordan!

Unfortunately he jumps like Michael Moore.

I can't imagine why your pasty white genes didn't give him some jumping ability.

I could slam a tennis ball in my prime.  Ever since, I've just slammed beer and fried foods and can only jump to conclusions.

I might have told this story before, but like SLB, I'm a drunk and age isn't helping.

Went to Hodak's for lunch today.  @Bob Sacamano  It has been a while, still great.

So Island Air filed for Chapter 11 and is officially closing tomorrow leaving lots of folks in the lurch for travel in Hawaii (including me).  No refund at all for flights from the Big Island to Kauai.  Happy to get Hawaiian Airlines tickets for the 23rd before the onslaught.  #firstworldproblems

Hope you don't get stranded in paradise, man.

Someone block me out of that Louis CK thread. 

I just read the whole thread because I hadn't been following closely lately and thought I'd get some info.  Wrong thread to go for info.

Will say that our occasional visitor @McGarnicle is doing great work in the variety of bro threads.

 

[Skipdog77]

"what are you, blind?"   is a pretty common phrase i hear at home

Next time she tosses that out, respond "well, I did marry you" and report back.

...once you awaken from the coma.

Nah. I just take it. 

There's other ways. If she asks me if the jeans make her butt look big I say yes.

all albums should first be listened to alone in a room with a great pair of speakers 

I agree with this and this only

Furley, along those lines...

My oldest daughter is almost 16 and really into music. She listens in earbuds mostly. Last weekend we were driving around in my rig which has a pretty good Bose system and I cranked up some song of hers for her. 

Then I thought about our home theater speakers. It's all paradigm hi end stuff.  The two main speakers are large towers I bought 20 years ago. They should be in the living room strictly for music but I'm too cheap to buy new front speakers for the surround sound.  I said "you know those big speakers down in the basement, they blow this away". Her eyes got big.

We got home and I hooked her music into the system, set it to "stereo" and turned it up. She couldn't believe it. She had no idea. 

Nothing like a good pair of speakers and a good amp to drive them for pure music listening.

I'm going to duck in here for a minute to get away from all the craziness out there, if you nice folks will have me of course. 

I'm willing to turn a blind eye

 

[cosjobs]

@Sweet J  do you pronounce the - ?

yes. Silently

 

[cosjobs]

For some reason my wife has 3 open bottles of the same hair conditioner in our shower

This is the kind of valid, rational question you could ask. But you will enjoy your life more if you just shut the fup

 

[cosjobs]

Wife always texts me that were out f something while at the grocery store.  I'll buy 2 or 3 of whatever it is and then go out the extras in the pantry and there will be like 3 more already there 

I didn't know you were Mormon

 

[cosjobs]

TAP TAP

Oh I get it. Duck Blind, amirite?

Blind drunk, imo

Oh wait, that's me

I am not going to let Pizzagate or Uraniumgate or the next "gate" go unchecked.  It is reckless and dangerous for a website owner to perpetuate that nonsense on his site.  Even if he tries to couch it as some sort of social experiment, it is irresponsible to give credence to misguided beliefs that might bend the brain of the fringe to committt acts of atrocity.  See the pizzagate gunman for proof. 

Taken to PMs.....you better have a ####### good reason to ban me David because I have a good ####### reason to call you out for your wanton negligence.   

 

[DA RAIDERS]

uh oh..

 

[DA RAIDERS]

think i'll have a drink...

What did I miss?  I always miss out on the excitement around here.

Wait what and where?

Dodds has gone straight crazy.

link?

 

[mr roboto]

link?

I do t know what the GM thing is being referenced in here by just in general Dodds has gone full alt-right conspiratorial. 

 

[mr roboto]

Sorry. No more politics  

In other news I got ####### hammered last night on bourbon. Don’t know if I poured more generously than usually but I barely made it upstairs into bed. Also don’t remember the last 30 minutes of stranger things S2E5 I attempted to watch last night. 

 

[Ignoramus]

Went to GNR last night. Those old, fat guys may not have the pipes they once had but they still ####### rocked for a full four hours. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Wife just added conditioner to the shopping list

Gotta think she's trolling at this point

No idea what this is about but I wholeheartedly endorse the above.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

we have the same wife.  I can't find anything in the pantry because there is so much just randomly thrown in there. Total chaos. You know how the fridge is designed to have the milk go in the door, condiments in the other door? not in mine.  Can never find ####. 

same situation at my house.   to be fair to my wife though, i'm the guy that opens the cupboard or fridge to find something and can't see it.  I mean it will be literally right in front of me but I can't see it.  So then i yell "honey?  where's the ranch?"  and she comes over and grabs it and its literally 2 feet in front of my face.

exact same here. Drives me nuts. 

AND ...when we reorganize clutter in the pantry closet, she puts stuff on top of stuff, or behind stuff.  This immediately causes us to have to move several things to get to some of the more used stuff.  To hell with the appliances, seasonal glassware, etc. ...get the stuff we use all the time in places where it is easy in and easy out - and easily found.  

A place for everything - and everything in it's place.  

 

[Osaurus]

Now I really want pizza ? 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I do that. We can't see it because it's never in the same place twice, except for her chocolate stash in the freezer.

This.  

This.

My wife once asked me to get Rao's marinara sauce because it's low-carb and delicious. Kroger didn't carry it, so I got another brand instead. Just 4 or 5 carbs, and it's just spaghetti sauce, what's the difference. But because we've gone through this type of thing before, I backed up two steps and snapped a pic of the entire section as proof. Sure enough when I got home, she gave me a hard time, so I triumphantly took out my phone.

Took her less than 2 seconds to point to the Rao's on the top shelf.

I gave up on trying to reorganize decades ago.  

Two new things.... yesterday she asked me to get some butter out for some toast. Now it is in the butter area at the top of the door, but there were seven sticks open.  The one I grabbed had to have been there for months as it had more of a darker mustard color.

About three months ago, we signed up for milk and eggs delivery. Same cost as store bought.  Each week it comes Monday at midnight. if we have a few extra, I rotate and put the older ones in front. awe get 7 half gallon bottles.  The first two times, I marked in black ink which bottles to use first.  Last Tuesday, after she put the groceries away, she asked me to rotate the milk while I was reaching and unpacking the small top shelf to get the used cottage cheese container she had put well behind the new one.

I dont expect you to understand my point and i don't care if you ever do.   But I saw that you changed the title of my pictures thread.  I'm done posting in that thread permanently as long as you leave that title.  Not because it's not a funny title, but because you're crossing the streams and that's not cool.

Should get her a good set of headphones, significantly better than any Bose BS and can provide all the detail and sound stage of mid end stuff like Paradigm.
