GM's thread about nothing (37 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

just got some drink tickets in the mail from Southwest. They have an expiration date on them. The ones I had in the past did not have an expiration date, but apparently those were discontinued.Either way,

Was I supposed to mail some more of those out? I can't remember.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

I have an hour long speed weight lifting class tonight that I'm right certain will kill me. Haven't lifted weights since March. I won't be able to wipe my own fanny tomorrow.

You're going to be in agony tomorrow.A tip: suck down as much protein as possible tonight. Tuna, milk, there's a joke in here about sex but I'm too brainfarted to make it.

I'm more worried about the day after tomorrow...Which is going to really suck because I have the same class on Thursday. Can anybody fax me some Oxy?

Seriously, swing by your local GMC and buy a bottle of this stuff called "Isopure." It looks like fruit punch, but is really flavored whey. 40 grams worth of protein. It will help minimize the soreness tomorrow. Isopure is also easy on the stomach. Won't give you the farts like other whey drinks, ruining your chances at the sex at night.

I wouldn't mind taking something that helps me with the lifting, though.

N0eXPLoDE!!!

My co-worker suggested that one. Dude's a body builder and said that's what he takes. I had to suppress the giggles.

He's our trader and I've worked with him for almost 10 years now. We were at Touchstone together. Great guy, but he borders on obssessive. For the last 4 years, he has been getting up at 3am, goes to the gym, works out, showers and is at his desk by 4:40am every day. I've never met anybody quite like him. I certainly don't have his will power.

Well...looks like I'm heading the GMC, which is a store I have never once set foot into.

Never touched it.

I probably shouldn't say this, but I do take that Jack3ed stuff before the gym. It's awesome for workouts, but damn if I'm terrified to talk to anyone when on that stuff. It feels like a cleaner version of the high I had when I did meth in college. Oh yea, I did meth once in college. Anyway, when I take Jack3ed I just plug my ears with headphones, crank up the workout messiah (HR), keep my head down, and try my best not to look like a freaking serial killer.

Mountain Dew can dissolve mouse carcasses

interesting legal defense.

Citric acid can dissolve about anything given time and its in most soft drinks

I think I'm good now. Thanks.How did you get these special non-expiring drink tickets though?

EDIT: http://www.blogsouthwest.com/blog/a-message-about-drink-coupons

For years, Southwest Airlines has accepted all types of drink coupons on our planes – regardless of their expiration dates. Rapid Rewards coupons. Business Select coupons. Old Company Club coupons. Coupons from the 80s, coupons from the 90s. And we’ve done so for all the right reasons. However, in an industry where the competition is always knocking (or banging) on the door and where watching the bottom-line is more important than ever , we owe it to our Employees, Customers, and Shareholders to find ways to operate smarter. We’ve reached a point where being so flexible with drink coupons has put us in a position of having far too many in circulation. To help purge the system of these excess coupons, we will start enforcing expiration dates on coupons over the course of the next year.

Beginning today, Southwest Airlines will only accept Business Select drink coupons on the day of travel which allows Customers to use the coupon for the flight it was purchased . This has always been the intent of the coupon, but starting today, August 1, 2010 we’ll begin universally enforcing it. Business Select Customers may use their drink coupon on a connecting flight, as long as it is used on the day of travel printed on the coupon.

Also, Rapid Rewards drink coupons earned with an Award will soon have a new look and will include an expiration date that is one year from the date of issue. Rapid Rewards will communicate with Members as the transition approaches. Not to worry, we’re giving Customers a full year to use those tan paper drink coupons without expiration dates. We will continue to accept these drink coupons, whether purchased or earned with a Rapid Rewards Award, until August 31, 2011.

Someone on FB that I share 1st and last names with is friending everyone he can find with the same name. I checked his friends list, and so far there are 18 of us. Not sure why, but I absolutely love this shtick.

My associate does the same thing.

5 rounds into my playoff league draft and FBG doesn't have their tuesday playoff content up on the site yet

 

[Kubes]

Received a package in the mail today from Santa Cosjobs containing this framed old school picture/ad/baseball dude. And wouldn't you know it, my 1.5 year old son's room is decorated in a retro sports theme with an emphasis on baseball. This couldn't fit in any better. Awesome, man, thanks.

Also YSR, I think my stock is replenished enough to prepare your box for delivery. Expect something anytime between 1 and 6 weeks from now.

 

[Kubes]

lol wisconsin

 

[Guster]

Also YSR, I think my stock is replenished enough, so prepare your box for delivery. Expect something anytime between 9 and 10 months from now.

The 99 cent beefy crunchy burrito from taco bell is pretty good drunk food

Sounds like one hell of a package

"It's Chris ... that ugly bald Stickney cop who gave you that ticket."

"I know this may seem crazy and you're probably right, but truth is I have not stopped thinking about you since," it continues. "I don't expect a girl as attractive as you to ... even go for a guy like me, but I'm taking a shot anyways."

The note goes on to say he would understand if Paredes did not get in touch.

"But hey," it continues apologetically, "I did cost you $132 -- least I can do is buy you dinner."

 

[Tiger Fan]

Can we cut back on the werewolf chatter?

It's like a reality show for people who don't look good enough to be on television. Sounds like your wheelhouse to me.

lol

I know there are some house hunter international fans here...Michael Ian Black and John Hodgman are live tweeting the episode that is on right now...It's fairly hysterical

[YSR]

A few things:

1.) Hangover II is really horrible

2.) Midnight in Paris was surprisingly enjoyable (knew nothing about it going in)

3.) I finally broke down and had my husband teach me to play chess yesterday. I've avoided it, much like golf, my whole life. Because I knew that I wasn't going to be good immediately (unlike sports as a kid, etc). Man, I'm hooked. I won my first game tonight on my Kindle, playing against the easiest of easiest computers. Does anyone have a website or a good book that I can read? I have no intentions of being a chess nerd, but I think learning a little strategy to use in beginning games would be fun.

 

[Kubes]

2.) Midnight in Paris was surprisingly enjoyable (knew nothing about it going in)

Well that's good because you may be owning this in a few days or weeks or possibly a month or two.

 

[SofaKings]

So Krista emailed GM drink tix and he got a bj from erin andrews at the Rose Bowl?

 

[charvik]

Whoa... anybody watching the game?

We both really, really (and surprisingly for both of us) enjoyed this movie.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Midnight in Paris seemed awful to me, but I lost interest the 2nd or 3rd time he traveled back in time.

Seeing Hemingway was a lot of fun for us both, and it reminded us both to go back and read him and others.

I think there are more Canadians within a couple hour drive of Buffalo than there are in Calgary.

I had no problem using them in October. Somebody take a flight somewhere, quick. I need this fact checked.
