kendall: "Sure, I'll go down. But first let me get suited up"

 

[Clifton]

Last night I got whacked out on some stuff. Went to my girlfriend's for some frolicking and she smelled my breath, LOL.

 

[KGB]

Job interview tomorrow afternoon.

What kinda place? First time I've ever been unemployed, need to hear some positive news.

He mentioned something about gay porn back on page 124, but I can't find it. Pay is better in gay porn, but there aren't a whole lot of benefits.

 

[krista4]

Krista, got any cookies left? Will they make it past the border?

No cookies left now. I have taken to bringing stuff to work to get some of it out of the house. Tonight I'm told we will have various flans, creme brulees, and the like. Those might not make it to work, though.

that depends.

 

[krista4]

We're both okay, though I think I will be sore later. His airbag went off so he will too, I'm sure. Minimal damage to my Jeep, his VW is pretty beaten up though. Sucks. Hate the inconvenience for him. BF and police are here now. Yay.

I'll say this....your dedication to the FFA is commendable. You just destroyed a VW and will no doubt be looking at higher insurance premiums, but damned if you didn't take five minutes to update us BEFORE the cops arrived. Unreal.Perhaps you could call Kendall's lady (?) as well and give her the bad news?

This was my first thought, too. Excellent job, GBYSR, and glad you're OK.

My first thought was "women drivers".

[Hawks64]

So yeah I am not known for much of anything around these parts but reading this last page about Kendell's problems whilst well on my way to drunkeness makes for a great evening esp after having my mother<language filter> car die on me on my way home. So thanks for the laughs.

Hang on a second...your car broke down today and you are JUST NOW getting around to telling us? Has YSR taught you nothing? Geez, Hawks84...no wonder you're under the radar. Where is YOUR dedication?

Sorry GM, you are right that's why I am under the radar. Well that and my lack of skill with the written word.

 

[General Malaise]

I can make the same claim, but it is too easy to cheat on this one.

Here's my submissionhttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/209/img002hwn.jpg

Is this just a bad cursive contest, or handwriting in general? I'm pretty sure I haven't written in cursive since they stopped making it mandatory around the eight grade.

I kind of have a sloppy hybrid version of both, maybe 80% Print/15% cursive/5% unknown.

After seeing some handwriting samples, I'm convinced most of us lack the skill of writing words.

That's what I do...ALL CAPS as well.

Handwritten word maybe, but most of you are quite excellent story tellers, thus the "written word".

Dude, I make your handwriting look like a pristine work of hirogliphics (go screw, i'm not looking that word up for proper spelling)....Need Proof?

And I included the date here to prove this was not a cheat.

Also, I placed a long forgotten call to our auditors today.

I like to mix my case with strictly printing. And it's incredibly illegible to most including myself.

I do the all caps thing too, but was trying to make it look classy. Hell, I thought I had, but after it got posted on the internet, I re-evaluated things.You got a printed submission this time.

UPS is a freaking rip off. 2nd day air? Jesus. 1lb package (don't get that excited, Forrest). I should've sent from the office, but figured our discounted rate wouldn't be that far off. I was WRONG.

I hate shipping stuff. Every time I try to send something, I'm flabbergasted at the price. I'm not doing something right.

 

[Hawks64]

Well thanks to my and I quote "furious typing" and not explaining to the wife WTF I am doing and now I am on the freaking list. This has the makings of a fantastic night. FML.

At least her ladyparts aren't offensive--unless they are, in which case you may as well tell her now.

Thanks,

[Frostillicus]

Hi guys, what's up. I've missed you. Life doesn't give you a whole lot of time when you have a 2-year old, a special needs (kind of) baby, and a wife who works from home and just started working again and has to work and deal with both kids on Tuesdays and Thursdays by herself and texts you 83 times per day while you're at your job about everything that sucks and how the baby won't sleep and the kid won't stop coloring on the wall with marker and she can't do anything to stop it because if she's not working she's pumping and the baby won't sleep more than 30 minutes at a time unless you are holding him and when it looks like maybe he will in the bouncy seat the 2 year old runs up to him and says "Hi Baby!" in his face really loud.

So I gave her the night off. She's in the basement drinking beer and watching Biggest Loser. I'm upstairs with Benny, who is currently sleeping the bassinet but should wake up any moment. I'm also having a cranberry vodka that is at least 75% vodka.

Anyway. Hi guys.

Good to see you, Frosty. This too shall pass.

You think I should go to 90% for the next one?

That would be the safer course.Glad to hear you're hanging in, and I apologize for at your post.

 

[krista4]

Mr. krista4 assures me that it is actually OK to invite every person we know in Memphis over for a crab/shrimp/crayfish boil and that he can handle all that cooking. I don't see any way this could possibly go wrong.

 

[videoguy505]

McJose> Where do we rank this new Jeopardy whipper snapper going forward?

What is a Link?

I haven't seen him in action. Sounds like a stud, though.

He's no footballguy

 

[Frostillicus]

Went closer to 90% vodka this time, I don't want to take any chances.

Also, the other night at 3am when I was up with the little guy I got to watching Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. You know when people talk about Godfather 3 being a disgrace to the series? We should probably start bringing up Bogus Journey as a better example of disgrace.

Also discovered ABC Family is running Boy Meets World at 6 and 630am every day, which is awesome because that show rocks. I've been pretty bummed since Disney stopped showing it, but now that it's back it feels like my life is whole again.

 

[Frostillicus]

Mrs. Frosty just popped upstairs and saw that he's asleep. She asked how long he's been asleep for and I said an hour and a half. I think she's actually pissed at me now.

Also, why are the Buffalo Wing flavored Doritos actually "Blazin' Buffalo and Ranch?" Shouldn't it be blue cheese? This is a travesty. If ScottNorwood was here he wouldn't stand for this.

Also, did I ever tell you guys you can see me in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm? Well, only from behind, but you can recognize me by the bald spot.

This one is very familiar. My wife used to call me at least 2-3 times per day plus text messages and emails about how our son never ever took his naps. The first time I ever stayed at home with him while she went to a conference, he took a 2 hour morning nap and a 2.5 hour afternoon nap. She was livid when she got home and found out how the day had gone.

Lesson for Otis: I'm not saying to be dishonest in this situation, but this is one of those times when, if your bending the truth won't cause alarm on her part, you're better off letting her think the same thing that happens for her is happening for you. Think of it along the same lines as always breaking even when you gamble.

It's the one where they go to Staples Center from the most recent season. I was there for work with another dude and we decided to take in the Laker game. When we got to our seats we saw a ####load of people around with placards around their necks that said "Curb Your Enthusiasm Crew" and I figured that it was nice that they paid for the crew to go to a Laker game. About 15 minutes or so before the game started all of a sudden there's a flurry of activity and guys with lights and cameras and sure enough, there's Larry and Jeff filming their scene in our section - the nosebleeds. They left before the game started after doing about 5-6 takes (the one they used must have been the only one where I wasn't watching them, because as I said, you can only recognize me by my bald spot), so we went and sat in their seats for the second half so we could smell the fame.

Also, there were originaly supposed to be three of us but one dude had to fly out early to get to another meeting, so since scalping is illegal at Staples we gave the extra ticket to some annoying guy who was asking if anybody had a ticket he could have for free. We gave it to him with the stipulation that he buy us a beer once we were inside, which he agreed to.

We never saw him again. In the second quarter some Mexican kid came up and sat in that seat, but he pretended not to speak English when we tried to ask about the the ticket and/or our beers.

[Drifter]

Flying out to Seattle next week for an interview with a a good gig for a company everyone has heard of. This one has just felt like it was going to happen right from the start. One more round to go and Drifter is hitting the northwest with a not yet 2 year old and a not quite yet newborn. Oh and did I mention I just bought the house I'm in last summer?



ETA - Also been talking with Nike for what is maybe even a better gig. That one is about a month behind the one above though.
