GM's thread about nothing (15 Viewers)

Went to Coyotes-Oilers game Saturday night. Had no idea that the Mexicaned folks were so into hockey.
wow
I know, GB. I was surprised too.
Those arenas are great places to work.

:confused:Can you explain how that's racist, you know in an ESL way?
Should have known it would be too complicated for a Swede

It's a great place for Mexicans to work cause of course there is no way they are there watching the game. Oh..sorry...Mexicaned folks. :rolleyes:

:mellow: I guess I don't get it. If I needed a job I'd consider working a basketball game, but wouldn't go see one. Not my culture. I guess I would assume hockey isn't common in Mexico. :shrug: Not my fight, I was just curious where the racism were...

ETA: whoa... didn't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_national_ice_hockey_team

Thorn, I'm afraid it's you. American Psycho rules.I can't vouch for American Psycho 2, but I believe it stars Mila Kunis.
I don't think so. I was kinda vibing with it through the first two thirds. Little bit of a klunk when he's able to hit a woman from 9 stories up with a running chain saw, and no one in the apartment complex calls the cops even though they both ran down a hallway screaming, pounding on doors and, oh yeah, there was a running chainsaw.The 80s music shtick was superb for Marcus' murder, slipped a little during the first threesome, but was a complete waste by the second threesome. But worse was the ending: a complete cluster. Look, if you want to have a narrator or main character who isn't trustworthy, that's cool, I can handle that, but you better have it tie up at the end. Otherwise it just becomes a mess on the order of "it was all a dream, Bobby Ewing."I did appreciate the nod to Harvey Cleckley with the "I fear my mask of sanity is slipping" line. Overall, however, an unsatisfying movie with some very good scenes. Two and half stars.
 
I just can't discipline myself to study anything on my own. The only time in my life I ever accomplish anything is by signing up for something and then going there in person. So I signed up for scuba lessons this weekend and they send me a book and say study the first five chapters before class :wall:

Rent the movie and skim the CiffNotes. What could go wrong?

Yeah, when I got certified, there was a lot of reading b/c they want to spend most of the class time in the water.There's a lot to go over and remember in a short amount of time.
 
can someone explain why there were no posts in the drunk thread for 6 days? I think you people have just stopped trying.

Are you not familiar with Studs' ethnic phrasing?
 
Try reading the novel.
I hope that ending doesn't just mail it in.
I don't think it did. A certain amount of suspension of disbelief was required, sure, and even if on one level Bateman's 'escape' was ridiculous, I was fine with it because it worked in the world Ellis set up. It was definitely consistent with the social critique Ellis was pushing. I think the ending's implausibility is part of the point. It should feel implausible and unbelievable. Even Bateman thought so. Disagree with the effect, but I can't see how anyone would think Ellis "mailed it in." There's intent there very consistent with the rest of the story.

ETA: sorry if I got too English-dork serious here. :unsure:

They're firing a guy who involved in a child molestation coverup. Let's riot!

Stay classy, Penn State. Stay classy.

ETA: sorry for dragging the pig into the house here, but I'm just astounded students actually RIOTED over this. :loco:

FB confession -

I was just reading about Krista complaining about being out of wasabi peas. I 'like' a comment by some guy. Then I noticed his last name.

Hey, that sounds like the guy I was just talking 'American Pyscho' with in the GMTAN.

So click his name and go to his page.

And there, at the top of his friends list, is a woman named Melissa who is :jawdrop:

So, of course, I click her name and check out her pics.

Wow. Now I know 'that's somebody's daughter' and all, but....wow.

Tell me some of you know who I'm talking about. I need confederacy in my quasi-sleezy internet meanderings.

:hifive: Some may call it "sleezy" and some may call it "creepy". Don't be ashamed. Be proud my good friend.

Saw this coming a mile away.Meh. Looking up the address of woman on TV is the i-version of following Jodi Foster. Looking at a girl's FB pics (that she leaves open for all to see) is like turning your head when a hot chick walks by.

But I'm probably taking this too seriously.

ETA: Look, I'm not implying that Polishwhateverthe####hisnameis is a celeb stalker. I still think posting that woman's personal info was kind of creepy and unnecessary. It ain't even in the same ballpark as checking out a pretty girl you notice on FB. Everyone does that on FB. I don't think everyone needs to look up the effing address of people on TV.

This is serious bizness, people. :boxing:

So I figured out where the Nielsen Ratings come from. 100% from my parents television. Dear sweet God do they watch some crap.

Does it have a laughtrack? They watch it. Is it a reality show where someone sings/dances/loses weight/rebuilds a house? They watch it. Last night it was the CMA Awards with full commentary from both of them. I don't even have the strength this morning to get into what the hell is going on in country music. Lionel ####### Richie singing with Hootie and the Blowfish guy?!?! My only reprieve is when they want to watch Storage Wars/Auction Kings and the like. They have 800 channels? Mix in a little Mad Men? A little Walking Dead? A little Breaking Bad? Maybe something that makes you think? Nope.

As I am a guest in their house for a little while I am doing my best to be a gracious and social, but all they do is watch this crap from 7-10 at night. I have taken to bringing my book and phone into the living room, or even my laptop. When the show is especially bad, I take that as a sign to go for a run. As a result, Nike+ informed me last night that I have ran more this week than ever before.

My inlaws are the same way, only it's the Disney channel and bad movies. If I was Homer I could find a private way out of that hell, but I'm not, so I tend to stare at the floor and suffer as quietly as possible.

Melissa S.? She is a lot of fun but moved a couple hours away from me about a year ago. She actually just texted me that she'll be in town Thanksgiving weekend. :pickle: But supposedly has a boyfriend. :sadbanana:

I have no idea what we're talking about.
 
I am going to one of my favorite places in Tampa for lunch tomorrow. Taco Bus is :moneybag: It's been on MVF and DDD in the last couple of months. As if this place isn't popular enough already, this publicity will put it over the top. Looks like brunch or linner tomorrow.

 
One other thing we found out from Cal's meeting yesterday. They tried to secretly record him via web cam on three separate occasion and he busted them immediately every time. The first time the IEP gal tried to tell him she wasn't recording him to which he responded "why are you lying to me?" Game, set, match.

THAT'S.MY.BOY So proud.

ETA

Oh yeah, Mrs. SLB made Beef Spiedini for dinner yesterday. Oh man was it awesome.

That's her, and hey! it is you. :thumbup: Sorry about the boyfriend. Ten to one it's some huge biker dude with a bad mustache (of the un-ironic variety) and a chest of HGH.

I've been giving my liver a break. I've got a big drinking weekend coming up in Minny, with a Tre cornhole mixed in. :banned:
