GM's thread about nothing (30 Viewers)

When I was taking a leak in Portland, Maine I saw an advertisement for a company that will send out sober drivers to drive your car home for you. I thought that was genius. I've never seen one of those out here. Do those things do well? I'd use one of those for sure. Especially if they were staffed by young coeds! :excited: :excited: :excited:
They started these at LSU when i was there where the DD's had fold able scooters that you could put in your trunk and then they drove the scooter to the next location. I don't think the model is that sustainable though long term...at the end of the day, a taxi + a ride to your car the next day is really the same thing, and likely cheaper/easier.

Had one in our area called Paddy Wagon. Didn't make it.
 
I don't have an issue with someone driving while slightly over the legal limit, but not sure speeding in that scenario while also carrying a suspended license and unregistered car makes a whole lot of sense.

 
I know a guy who got threatened by a cop for riding his bike drunk. The cop was a complete tool about it...the guy said "Look, I'm biking down the street instead of driving because I've been drinking. What's worse?". Let him go with a stern warning.

 
In my hybrid painting/drawing/graphic novel thing I am working on, I an working on a section about being a giant jerk while being a serious poker nerd.

Today, I am still working on theRock 'em sock 'em robots with Nelson Muntz.

It was a little weird today. People stood outside my studio watching me paint through the storefront window. However, clearly I either had a powerful smell of had full serial killer look happening, because they did not want to enter.

I can see how the rank-and-file public might not "understand" your work.

Still going strong. People seem to like to have their car at home in the morning without having to go out again. Especially during the 11 1/2 months when it's cold.

Although they are captivated by my mesmerizing ability to render simple cartoon characters with great accuracy. I rarely mention that they are designed to be drawn very quickly by any of the 50 underpaid animators on staff. Don't want to upset the apple cart and all that.

Snowed again here for the 7th day in a row.

That's what I like about it. I'd happily use this service if we had it in our Portland. Great idea. Course, we have public transportation that makes the getting around pretty easy.
 
I know some of you guys don't venture out of the FFA and we have some beisbol nerds here, so I figured I'd post this here in addition to the baseball tangent fore arm:

Need to keep 8. 12 teams

5x5 H2H. Start: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3OF, UTIL, 5SP, 4RP

I've bolded who I'm thinking about keeping right now

Pos - # of starters, Starter, Backup

C - 1, Napoli, S. Perez

1B - 1, Votto, Napoli

2B - 1, Kipnis, Barney, Profar

SS - 1, Escobar, Gordon

3B - 1, Lawrie, C. Johnson

OF - 3, Ellsbury, Pence, Heyward, Rios, Morse, Rasmus, De Aza, W. Myers

UTIL - 1, anyone

SP - 5, Cain, Grienke, Halladay, Capuano, Vargas, Harrison, Teheran

RP - 4, Rodney, Lopez, Holland, Frieri, Casilla, Cook

on the fence b/w Halladay and Pence right now. Thoughts.

Kill me now. Recently got back from a meeting with several architects/engineers that included me and one other sub, plus the GC. Left at 5 a.m. (sorry, Homer) to drive the 100 miles to DC. It was supposed to last from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. I should know better by now that, after 30 years in this business and meeting with white collars, half of them will be at least 30 minutes late. On top of that, the other sub's rep (they actually put the concrete structure up over my foundations) must have wanted to show his engineer-envy by questioning the design team about things that had zero to do with his work ("what type of glass are you using?"; "paint brand?"; "why are you using those?"). Ever ask an engineer or an architect questions about his/her work? I left after 3.5 hours - 5 minutes of which was spent on my work. THEN I had to leave one of the most ####ed up traffic grids in either Hemisphere, NW DC. I thought my GPS was going to explode, not to mention my brain.

Now we've got Lex Steele-measurable snow coming and I'll probably lose power.

Pence for sure.ETA: This is basketball, right?

Halladay.
 
This thread is very thin today. I'll just pad it with a little nonsense.

True
Yeah...

That was always my reference to Scooterguy around here. I use them relatively often now that we have moved and I know they are expanding. Sucks, I used to be able to drive from downtown to my house without ever getting on a highway. I miss that.

Love it. Though I would find it even funnier if the SMUC was sliding into second base vs. an opponent who is either a fat slob in a t-shirt and cutoff jeans, or a butch lesbian.
I might have to go back into this one and rework the second baseman.Also, if anyone wants to be in one of these, here are the requirements:

You were/ are a young dad.

You pm me a picture of you as a young dad with you kid.

you face should be clearly visible, and it should look like you like your kid.

I can grab one off the inner webs, but I thought I would see if any GMTAN folk were interested.

Exactly. How old is she there?

You will see where this goes in a week or so, I have to do a bunch of sketches to figure out the page.

Then, I will screw up the drawing of you, or her, 3 or 4 times.

Hopefully, after a few failures, I will figure out how to draw both of you?

Also, where is your shirt from?

She's 4. And it says New Haven Wildcats but my wife got it at Old Navy or somewhere like that.

My link who doesn't like PB&J?!?
I just had to look up the backstory on this My link
we need a legal way to do away with these morons
I've had another really bad day and can think of a few ways. I ####### hate PB&J sandwiches too. That's what I had almost every single day for lunch a solid 6 years in grade school. OH PB&J WHY MUST YOU BLEED THROUGH THE BREAD AND CREATE AND STINKY SMELL IN MY BOOK BAG??!!
 
While I was out interviewing for other jobs yesterday, one of the people who reports to me sent me this e-mail:

I read a “daily inspiration” which read “When someone does something that makes a difference in your life, tell them.” Therefore, I am shouting these words to you and the heavens above…Thank you for all your support, encouragement and belief in me. You mean a lot to me and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Even if things do not go the way I want them to go, I can say with sincerity, you lifted me up at times when I’ve needed it most. Thank you for being there for me.
Now I'm going to feel even ####tier about ditching these people. :cry:

:confused: Did your mom just throw the sandwich in your bag? No baggie or foil?
 
I feel like I am on my death bed. Went to the doctor yesterday and have bronchitis and a double ear infection, on top of the sinus infection that I never seemed to shake after Austin. Apparently, I am part of a small percentage of the population that is resistant to the Z-Pak I took earlier in the month, so now I'm on a nice 10-day antibiotic.

Very rarely do I miss work due to sickness because, frankly, I don't get sick very much. At all. But I felt so terrible today, I had to leave at lunchtime.

And yes, I would like some cheese wine with my whine.

 
Also, I am pretty sure Puff's is lying to me about there being lotion in these tissues.

That reminds me of the annoying crap my first high school girlfriend insists on posting over at Facebook. But hers always has "send this to 10 people that matter to you, I hope I am one of them!"
