GM's thread about nothing (52 Viewers)

Three bags of candy from Sams Club, preparing for a huge turnout of kids (based on the number riding around this condo complex at every hour of the day). I'm not sure if the parents here still think that my drug-dealing BIL lives here, but we have had ONE trick-or-treater.Pack> ankle is better. Still very swollen and bruised but I'm elevating and icing when I can. I can bear weight, so unless things don't get better, I think I'll be okay. Thanks for asking.
:( What did you do to your leg? <_<
I have a pair of clogs that I wear almost all the time in the winter
indoors or out?
Outdoors.

I have a weak left ankle - used to sprain it a good bit playing sports. I have a pair of clogs that I wear almost all the time in the winter and once every so often my ankle will roll when I'm wearing them. On two separate occasions it's resulted in a really, really bad sprain. This last time happened Thursday and I'm only now really able to walk without a major limp. :( As a side note for Tanner: all was going well with my recovery until one of my cats mistook my foot/ankle for a bedmouse this morning and pounced. Oof.
Stop moving your leg...problem solved.
:lmao: So true.

Sorry to hear that GB. I hope you feel better soon.

Someone explain this BGP character for me. What's his deal?

I've never read a single post. I'm just wondering why I should bother.

You can just give them movember link. No need to show them how big of an internet nerd you are.

Pretty sure that in this case "the media" can be considered a singular entity.
So you're saying there's some all-powerful overlord secretly controlling the media?!!?!?! Ok, BGP.
Yes. The Jews.
But that's plural.
The Jews have nothing to say.The American Association of Jews has nothing to say.

That's what sounds best to me. :shrug:

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in the GMTAN world who let me muck up your world with some posts about my mother's stroke and sudden passing. It helped me to have an outlet. I sincerely appreciate the many condolences and PMs and emails (bit disappointed about no faxes, but whatevs).

Also, I'd like to pass along an excellent reading recommendation from K4.

The Long Goodbye: A Memoir

Lot of good people around here. Thanks for being good iFriends.

:thumbup: Hope everything is going well for you, BL.

 
I was out working in the yard and found this.
Seriously, this is how freaking wrecked my backyard is. After wiping out one section with a weed eater and hedge trimmer, it yielded this little gem. Who wants it?
HAPPY EASTER!

Once again "the media", while consisting of many people, can be looked at as singular in this context. It's like saying "the law" when obviously you mean "the many laws of our nation" etc.

It's really not. "Media" is a plural noun that just doesn't happen to end in an 's,' so it sounds a little weird. If I told you "the owners has all the responsibility for NBA strike" was correct because they are a singular entity, what would you say?
 
I'm not a huge fan of Cool Ranch Doritos or Doritos in general, but two weeks ago, an enormous box of Cool Ranch Doritos appeared in our office with like 50 little bags in there. I've probably had 25 of them since then. :porked:

Which is worse, having to chew out students in Spanish for treating the new computer room in the new library like a seated roller derby, or to have everyone look in disgust at my students for the disruptive chaos they are creating?

How about teaching them how to avoid a list of logical fallacies, asking them to write an argument and persuasion paper, then getting one guy who parrots Bush Orchestrated 9/11 conspiracy theories while committing every logical fallacy in each and every one of someone else's arguments. :wall:

Most people, including a lot of smart people, agree that college students lack a basic understanding of knowledge. If you don't believe them you're a jerkface.

You lost me here. Either you're talking about epistemology or you're raving with level 42 shtick.

I'm thinking I'm going to go with the pencil thin mustache rather than the porn stache. We'll see though. I'm starting out porn stache for a while.

 
i'm not much of a dancer but this Teenage Dream song by Katy Perry makes me want to strip half naked like Righetti and thrash about in the grocery aisles

who's with me?

Took me a couple of days to catch up after being out of town for the weekend. I won't Kevzipple the thread, but I hope everyone gets over their various and sundry injuries and relationships. And like our Dear Leader GM, I must also go to the gym. Now.
