GM's thread about nothing (30 Viewers)

[Marvin]

Tanner>Hi

If it’s your goal for me to not have my basic emotional needs met and never be able to connect people around me and end up living alone in a studio apartment in Bakersfield eating Chef Boyardee directly out of the can, we’re on the right track. But if you’d like me to grow up to be a scholar, please hold me for most of the day.

Wakka wakka wakka!

I really want to see this city. It can't be that bad, can it?

It's not. Thanks to Johnny Carson it became a target.

It's pretty bad. I've been there.

Not really.

Why is there a new cat .gif thread? Isn't one enough?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Oona's not THAT unusual. It's Gaelic name. Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter's name is Oona Chaplin. She's in Game of Thrones and gets nekkid a lot, so the name's alright by me.

thankfully, no.

We're doing our end of the year kick-ball party (Stu > Hi!) for adults and kids tonight, with BBQ, adult beverages, etc. Wine and beer will be there as will margaritas. Do you mix-masters have a good idea for something I could make in a blender and bring with me to share? I don't want to just create another margarita concoction, but I'd like to bring something fun for tonight. Perfect weather for it. Who are my drink masters? Cos? Homer? Cross Eyed?

Watched Tommyboy with the wife and boys last night as they had their last day of school and last baseball game...perfect night to make buffalo steak nachos and goof off. That movie holds up really well for pure comedy. Spade and Farley played off each other brilliantly; though the movie Black Sheep is horrendous. My sons were rolling, even though they probably missed a handful of the jokes.

One of my all time favorite movies. Some great sales lessons in there as well. The first time I saw the gas station scene "What'd you do?!" made me quite literally cry.

No doubt. I thought of you when Spade talks to him about "reading people" after he talks the waitress into chicken wings. Kellen doesn't really care for movies very much and he didn't laugh nearly as hard as Cooper did, but he's also obsessed with airline travel (Airplane is on 'hold' for us at the library), wants to be a pilot and was howling at the scene where they pretend to be stwards.

I'll take Bakersfield over Stockton, Modesto, Fresno and Salinas any day of the week. Redding too, for that matter (sorry MIC).

also better than El Centro, Porterville, Tulare and Calexico. Of course, I'd rather cut off a finger than spend a week in any of these hellholes.

I'm drunk at work right now

 

[General Malaise]

Anybody getting loaded tonight?

Had a great physical today, which meant I cut way short on the booze for two weeks and ramped up the running (minus this past weekend with my frat bro who came down from Seattle) so I'm more than ready to get down. Although I'll probably wait until the parent/kid kick-ball party is over and the kids are in bed to take the governor pedal off.

skip and go naked is perfect for this.

 

[General Malaise]

I'm going to smoke a big fat doobie and then go to the DMV* to get a new license (mine looks like it's fake and been through a stampede) to reflect my new-old address. Hope this picture is an award winner.

*DMV is behind my house, so I'll walk there.

I use pink lemonade and leave go all vodka and no gin, but I don't think you can go wrong as long as you have the basic concept.

 

[mr. furley]

In San Antonio for a conference today and tomorrow. The internal struggle between wheels off intoxicated piano bar bentley and underslept father of two that would appreciate a good night's rest bentley has begun.

Also, I'm dressed like a cowboy.

sounds like we have a winner

I hope you take a shower first or at least leave your jean jacket at home.

Where are all the degenerate gamblers at? I am going to vegas and want place some bets on sports. Any locks that I should be looking at? I wanna make some money and then make it rain at the strip club. TIA.

gambling thread. just put marshallplan and lhucks on ignore and you'll be fine.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I'm a talk radio junkie, very little politics and you've heard the "sports" show I listen to. Anyhow, I can't decide if it is funny or really annoying when the host asks a guest where they can find more about their book/product/event and the guest starts with "go to dubya dubya dubya dot...".

Love packing for vacation and not taking any long pants or dark socks.

As opposed to short pants? I thought only my father said that.

What should I have said? "Khakis, dress slacks or jeans"?Hey, I'm taking shorts. I'm visiting the Gulf, not some place in Europe.

 

[bentley]

Well, well, well. Guess who just walked through the door of Howl at the Moon piano bar?

 

[krista4]

This has been one of the worst, if not the worst, work-weeks of my career for a variety of reasons (the least of which is half my staff apparently being on death's door). In the midst of that, I have this:

One of my paralegals (not one of the dying ones) is graduating tomorrow, getting a college degree at the age of 43. She has two daughters in college that she raised by herself. She works full time. And she is graduating as valedictorian of her class. We had a little surprise celebration for her today, and I told her how incredibly proud I was. She told me that the only reason that she went back to school was because when I first came to the company, I had talked to her about it and inspired her to do it, making her believe for the first time that she really could achieve it.

So,

Does this paralegal have a cat?

I graduated from dyahbeetus education this evening. They give you a certificate and a bowl of oatmeal. Fortunately, I found these egg thingies in my pool, and now I won't grow old and I won't ever die.

For Tanner to serve up such a giant softball and not see it coming? Well....I feel like I did when my grandpa started yelling at everyone on Christmas Eve that they were ruining it by ripping the wrapping paper. Group home isn't far off at this point.

Why would they call from a private line then bother leaving a message with no return number?

SERIOUSLY??

Yes, explain the reason.

Hey GB...Our baseball season ended last night. We were the Reds. I've got a really nice Reds hat with a black bill that's a little too big for me. I'll throw it in the dishwasher and mail it to you if you want it. Or any other Reds fan out there that might want a free hat.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me, bud.Just put the hat in the donation box for Goodwill with about 45 T-shirts and some slacks that are a little too snug. One more week in this townhouse and then a yard I can mow and a house without shared walls.
