He's also counting to ten. In Serbo-Croatian.

My daughter put her finger in the cat's butthole and tried to eat a 'Wet One' wipe.

Be happy she didn't put a finger in the Wet Wipes and eat the cat's butthole

The little cross-thingie in the lids of those dispensers can be pretty dangerous if get your finger stuck in them.

Add to the fact that I was wearing these ......

I wouldn't mess with a guy wearing those just on general principle.

Damn straight, you wouldn't

I was going to say....how do you not clock him as he's getting off the bike. I understand your sentiments though particularly with your son with you. NIce work GB.

Another reason I'm an underdog in this fight is that there's no way I'm swinging first. Kid there or not, I have too much to lose. By the looks and demeanor of the other guy, odds are that it would just be another trip to the clink.

Any Nordstrom link in a fight discussion merely lengthens the odds.

In my defense, I just used the first link I found. The footwear was purchased via amazon.

This weekend I was playing in a softball tournament in the town where I grew up and went to high school and we had a three hour break between games so we went to a bar. Half the team was inside and half outside and I was hanging outside and I noticed a guy there by himself who I went to high school with an was actually really good friends with from 4th-12th grade. We played sports together all through elementary and high school and had sleepovers and played Nintendo when we were kids and were always hanging out in the same group in high school. When I realized it was him I went back inside and hid out there until he left because I didn't want to have to talk to him since I haven't seen him in probably 11 years. Is that weird?

Yes, but I think I remember you drinkenly telling us you were socially awkward one night. I'm kinda like that some times.

I have my issues, as I think TRE could tell you.

I knew that was weird. I should have talked to him but I just don't wanna be like "so what do you do" and "how's the family" and stuff. And then have to answer that too. Ugh. I bet Tanner backs me up here.

Guilty as charged. It really depends on how much social energy I have. If I'm feelin' it, it's easy to do. If not, wild horses couldn't drag me.

So congrats, you're as weird as I am.

 

[T Bell]

Such a weird day. This afternoon I received an e-mail from the guy at the NY job I took myself out of when I decided to go to Nicaragua. A "how are things going, are you committed to Nicaragua, let's chat on the phone" message.

Just so strange to have both this and the "go back to old company" stuff come up on the same day. Since we haven't sold the damn Memphis house, I'd be open to working in NY for six months or something just to keep the bills going. Not that they need to know about a six-month plan.

You're obviously good at what you do, so your departure has them scrambling. If you're into Robert Cialdini (who I'm studying right now), this is "scarcity" in action as a motivator.

My old law partner and I would marvel at how many times potential clients would start begging to retain us right after we rejected them.

It sounds like you've got to be brutally honest with yourself here though- are you paying attention to these phone calls because they're really opportunities that are generally workable with your Nicaraguan semi-retirement plans, or just because they're flattering to you?

I did this the other day. Guy I haven't talked to since HS, but we're friends on facebook. To be fair, he's a 9/11 wingnut.

All the more reason to talk, no? I mean, maybe you can get him believing that one of the old Gallagher's was flying one of the planes on 9/11 and that's why they needed a new Gallagher.

I haven't made a facebook update since I've been in Minny. It would end up being high school people, that I really only know via facebook, who live up here trying to meet up. And since I've never heard/seen them mention meat raffles before, I'm really not interested.

I'd also suggest a cornhole with GMTAMers, but its family vacation. Wife and son at my side pretty much the whole time. It would be awkward telling my son I'm meeting people from the internet when all I ever tell him is to be wary of the ...... that's right.... people from the internet.

Since I was bellied up to the bar, by myself, last night I figured throwing the bait of 'drinks on me' was safe.

Well, safe unless T.R.E. showed up wearing that horsehead and asked me if I needed a ride.

Speaking of "slap it high" does Arctic Edge still post? Different name? I liked him.

Wait, this isn't an Arctic Edge alias? Who the F is this?

Dont forget about Oh Yes!

i think they are all banned till 2014 for some reason. i barely even post anymore

You're still saved in my phone as "Oh Yes!"

Not really cool when the girl you're dating sees it.

Going to the old job is likely workable. The other would just be a postponement. Flattery not a factor. The fact we haven't sold the house and I'm starting to panic is the main factor. It's not that we have to sell it to execute the plan, as we put a very large % down so have a relatively small mortgage, but I had figured into my long-term calculations having that equity back, and each month of just paying a few thousand for a house I don't live in will eat into our savings.

My senior year of high school they had a thing where you could "teach" a class or something for a day. So being the high class athlete I was, I was able to teach gym class all day. One of my baseball coaches was a 20-something year old dude that we got to hang out with all day. He took us to Hooters for lunch and told us how his buddy in college used to masturbate with these "couch bomb" things. Basically he would microwave a bag of lotion and stick it between the couch cushion and have sex with the couch. This same guy made out with one of my ex-gfs at my little brothers graduation party the next year. Cool guy.

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

Getting ready to head downtown with my son. He has a Reds kids club autograph session with Mat Latos at the Reds HOF, then we're going to figure out something to do, then go to Reds game and watch fireworks afterwards.

Sounds pretty sweet for an 8 year old, right? I think I've spoiled him because he doesn't seem very excited about autograph thing since he got Latos's autograph last year.
