GM's thread about nothing (18 Viewers)

Where's our GB from Gig Harbor? My 'this day in history' is the collapse of the Tacoma-Narrows bridge. The kids love seeing the footage but then get all sad when I tell them that the only fatality was a dog. I cheer them up by saying that the erected a statue of the dog right next to the replacement bridge. Then I tell them "I'm kidding, they didn't do that at all."
The wreck of the old bridge has become a great artificial reef. We fish ling cod there in the spring. Only problem is that we've lost hundreds of dollars worth of gear getting snagged on the concrete, twisted steel and dog skeletons.

Ranges from about 85 feet on the east bank of the narrows to about 200 feet in the middle. We also have huge tidal swings, so you can make that plus or minus up to 18 feet.Here's a chart:

The numbers are depth, in fathoms.

Anyone left in survivor pools? We're down to our last 5 teams and this week looks tough. Charges/Cowboys/Eagles stand out. Already used Chargers and Cowboys though. Eagles scare the crap out of me.
Still kicking with ATL yesterday. Haven't looked at what's coming up.

got some vibram fivefingers running shoes for my birthday. anyone here use these?
I've seen some pretty dorky footwear in my day...Crocs, Keenes, Brikenstocks...I think these things take the prize for worst look on a human being. Can you take them back?

my brother uses these, but he lives in Hawaii so he can get away with it. I think Tremblay uses them, and may have a thread about them.

In all fairness it was kind of the dog's fault. Some guy had to abandon his car (with the dog inside) on the bridge when it started to hula dance like a drunken Samoan bride. The driver and some other guy tried to get the dog out but it bit both of them.

This guy was one of the competitors on the History Channel's "Top Shot" this season. Dude played D-1 college football and now owns a firearms training company. It cracked me up to see him running around in those goofy-### glove shoes.

Trying to explain this message board to a normal person is hard. Trying to explain this thread inside this message board to a normal person is damn near impossible.

I tried to yesterday to a parental unit and failed miserably on all accounts.

I don't even remember the subject at the time, but I said "yeah, I have been getting a lot of good advice from....well, these people, well they are online. No, never met them, yet. No, it's not strange."

Then I started talking about grilling recipes, cornholes, hating on PAC-12 homers, winning and losing thousands on virtual blackjack, etc. and they just walked away figuring that I really was losing touch and slightly worried about my safety.

I just say "i-friends," or to my less sophisticated associates, "friends." People accept things easier when it comes in convenient labels.

Pretty sure Jerry Sundusky has sapped all the fun out of the internet today.
Wouldn't it suck if there was some guy from Sandusky, Ohio named Jerry and his username was Jerry Sanduski kind of like St. Louis Bob?
Pretty sure you just blew up the space time continum...in other news I'm pretty sure GM is the bestest youth soccer coach in the world as long as he's not Sanduskian his charges
 
There is some serious BBQ talk going on in the McClure's thread today. The owner of a certain FF related website, who shall be nameless, pontificating on how certain technologies take the "soul" out of BBQ.

 
I just did the first day of P90X. When should I expect to be able to use my arms fully again?
hmmm... 2nd time hearing this in a week. Just visited the inlaws and saw the good-for-nothing tub-o-lard BIL who is now lighter by a good 10-15lbs and pretty ripped. P90x. Or Meth. One or the other.

:no: Sad to say this, but it seems like the YMCA/Oregon Youth Soccer League has better policies in place than Penn State. Obviously I know you jest, but in order to coach youth sports here, we have to submit to a background check, sign a lenthy contract and agree to all sorts of rules and regulations. It's a pain the butt, but I am happy to go through them. As a coach, we are not permitted to give another child a ride in our car without another adult present. There are all sorts of saftey measures we have to agree too which are in place to protect us as much as they are the children. Makes you wonder just how we got here. Actually, doesn't make me wonder...I know exactly how we got here and it is really very frightening to think of all the heinous acts committed by past coaches to get us where we are now. :(

But I do love coaching. It's a great deal of fun. I probably take it a bit too seriously, but I think our kids have a great time with it. This is the first year we kept a record or even logged final scores. In the past, it's all been for fun, so ramping up the competition was great. 2 months off until hoops...not sure what I'm going to do with my free time. :mellow:

If I can pass, anybody can. :unsure: 3rd Grade Boys Hoops will be the first year I'm not on the floor coaching the team. We will have refs this year and I'll be coaching from the sidelines. Anybody got some basic plays and strategies I can use? Mex? Tre? Any booklets?

I never played organized hoops past 5th grade. I probably couldn't explain the "Pick & Roll" with a gun to my head.

I had to go through the same thing back when I coached my sons' teams (and reffed) 10 or so years ago. I'm not 100% sure but I think it involved providing your SSN and maybe fingerprints to run through the DOJ database. Pretty much the same thing they do when you apply to work at a school. I seem to remember telling the area director "can't you just assume I'm Kosher since I was vetted by the school system?" But apparently not.

I was at work at 6:00 and had an hour meeting followed by 8 scheduled calls every 15 minutes, followed by a 2 hour meeting with the North American Operations leadership group and I'm supposed to keep up this pace until Christmas Eve.I'm going to need a lot more whiskey.

At that age the pick and roll would probably be over their heads too. All you really need is to teach them how to set a pick (and dribble off it) and the give and go.
 
My in-laws have a huge dead tree in their backyard, and the power company is coming to cut it down tomorrow. So my husband and I went over there today for a couple of hours to clear a path for the power company to be able to walk back to the tree.

That's right, clear a path. They have probably 1/3-1/2 acre for a backyard. It presumably was very attractive at one point in time, but is now full of leaves and ground cover. That's not the issue. I can deal with leaves and ground cover. It's the estimated 750+ black, plastic planters (the cheap ones in which one buys plants at THD) that are inches apart in the yard. That and the multiple stacks of black, plastic bulb trays And the collection of buckets and trash cans and trash in general.

Not the best pictures, as I was on my phone and trying to be subtle.

My husband has spent some time every day of the last couple of weeks clearing out junk. And he's made progress. Today was my first day going over there and while things are looking better in the garage and dining room, there's a lot more work to be done. By this point, I think his father is feeling really fragile, emotionally. Today was the first time I saw that side of him; he truly does have a sickness and it is almost unbearable for him to let go of anything, much less the loads of stuff my husband has been hauling away. It's really sad.
This is like deja-vu all over again. GLGB

Anyone left in survivor pools? We're down to our last 5 teams and this week looks tough. Charges/Cowboys/Eagles stand out. Already used Chargers and Cowboys though. Eagles scare the crap out of me.
linkDown to me and one other person in one pool that started with 97. It was $20 to get in and I completely forgot that a portion was going to charity until reminded yesterday. <_< Anyhow, I'm guessing it should be about $1500 or so.

There is 9/53 left in the other one I'm in. It was $25 and you could buy back in before week 4 so I'm thinking there should be $1500-$2000 in that one too.

I know exactly how we got here and it is really very frightening to think of all the heinous acts committed by past coaches to get us where we are now. :(
:goodposting: I'm not shticking about killing these dickmittens. At Cal's former Catholic school, you had to have a background test if you were attending the games. Funny thing is autofill switched by last name/first name so my SS# didn't match and it came back invalid. This all happened during Kindergarten 8/09 and we finally got it all straightened out the last week of school Cal attended 5/11.
I PASSED!

Pretty sure you just blew up the space time continum...in other news I'm pretty sure GM is the bestest youth soccer coach in the world as long as he's not Sanduskian his charges
:no: Sad to say this, but it seems like the YMCA/Oregon Youth Soccer League has better policies in place than Penn State. Obviously I know you jest, but in order to coach youth sports here, we have to submit to a background check, sign a lenthy contract and agree to all sorts of rules and regulations. It's a pain the butt, but I am happy to go through them. As a coach, we are not permitted to give another child a ride in our car without another adult present. There are all sorts of saftey measures we have to agree too which are in place to protect us as much as they are the children. Makes you wonder just how we got here. Actually, doesn't make me wonder...I know exactly how we got here and it is really very frightening to think of all the heinous acts committed by past coaches to get us where we are now. :(

But I do love coaching. It's a great deal of fun. I probably take it a bit too seriously, but I think our kids have a great time with it. This is the first year we kept a record or even logged final scores. In the past, it's all been for fun, so ramping up the competition was great. 2 months off until hoops...not sure what I'm going to do with my free time. :mellow:
So you're saying I have a background check to prep for in 6 years. Geez....so different from 20-25 years ago.2 months gives you plenty of time to read every Red Aurerbach, Pat Riley, and Phil Jackson book in existence...GO!
If I can pass, anybody can. :unsure: 3rd Grade Boys Hoops will be the first year I'm not on the floor coaching the team. We will have refs this year and I'll be coaching from the sidelines. Anybody got some basic plays and strategies I can use? Mex? Tre? Any booklets?

I never played organized hoops past 5th grade. I probably couldn't explain the "Pick & Roll" with a gun to my head.
Most of this stuff is more for middle/ high school butPlays / Drills

Oh yeah, I'm giving the CPAP some more serious try than I was. Mrs. SLB said I was snoring REALLY loudly (even for me) Saturday night and she couldn't sleep so she started timing how often I took a breath. Turns out I was taking 1 breathe every 47 seconds. :mellow: No wonder I'm a freaking wreck.

speaking of which, remember how I got a BS restraining order filed against me 3 years because my then wife was running a playbook that some dickmitten family law attorney told her to do? then it got dismissed since it was a total fabrication?guess who just found out he can't pass a background check.
 
There is some serious BBQ talk going on in the McClure's thread today. The owner of a certain FF related website, who shall be nameless, pontificating on how certain technologies take the "soul" out of BBQ.
The guy just booted Hucks for 6 months. He can talk about infusing his pulled pork with jesus for all I care. :thumbup:
Nice. What for? Other than being a total ####### dickbag I mean.
My link :thumbup:
Joe's definition of double standard is really weird.
