GM's thread about nothing (63 Viewers)

Neighbor just wrapped up throwing some serious ordnance into the air. GB a fireworks show where you can just walk in the house when it's done.

We've got a neighbor that does the same. Extremely impressive for a home show, I'm betting he hires professionals. Pretty sure this is the same guy that occasionally lands his helicopter in the field behind our house.

 
Sorry to hear GM. My family is a bag of ##### too. Unfortunately I just don't care enough and let them do it. I should be more assertive but I'm more concerned with my wife and son to let their dumbasses get in the way. It sucks.

 
The dim bulbs around here aren't close to done with their ordinance yet. BTW, I live in a tinderbox.

"The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire!

No, seriously, the roof is on fire. Everybody out."

My alcoholic construction superintendent/Purple Heart winner/JR & Yuke's babysitter neighbor bought so much #### two years ago that I'm pretty sure he started having Nam flashbacks halfway through the show. It was awesome. Until he started crying about how many good boys we lost in LBJ's war.

 
why do we care so much about egypt again?
Serious question: what kind of food is "Egyptian cuisine?" I was wondering what kind of stuff those people eat. Is it goats and yogurts and curry? Or chickens and rice and stuff?
Mainly beans, rice and veggies in various combinations and flavor profiles. Mediterranean spices, garlic, etc. Pita/flatbreads on the bread side. Fish in the north, traditionally not a lot of meat. Although these days if you go to an "Egyptian" Restaurant you will likely see your normal meat entree choices (chicken, beef, kebob) cooked with Egyptian spices. Also, modern Egyptian food incorporates a lot of other North African and Middle Eastern foods and flavors, like falafel, shwarma, etc.

This yard sale business is for the birds. Some old hag breaking my balls over a $5 purse and a brand new basketball for $3. I'd rather give the #### away than give it to you for a buck you ####.

 
GM --> Hang in there buddy. Situation sucks for you but I don't get the impression you're the type of guy to let it beat you down. You'll figure it all out. In the meantime it seems like if nothing else the folks in this thread have got your back. This is really a cool thing you guys have going here and I'm glad I sort of accidentally stumbled my way into it. It's really a neat little community within a community. One of the few places on the Internet where people really seem genuine. Then a minute later it's **** jokes and name-calling. Makes me feel right at home, and might be a nice example of how families sometimes bash each other around for a while before smoothing things over and calling a truce. You'll be just fine my friend.

I was at a buddy's house yesterday drinking and throwing horseshoes. His neighbors have a parrot that sits in a window about 20 feet from where I was standing. "Patience" by Guns n Roses came on the radio. I went to toss a shoe and could have sworn the parrot was whistling along with the beginning of the song. Figured it was just the bourbon so I didn't say anything. Then he started doing it again. Just a second or two off, but otherwise right the eff on with the song. I'm going to spend the rest of the weekend standing by that window and whispering swear words.

Increase the price on her every time she opens her mouth.

And if you haven't opened the "36 Cheap American Beer Rankings" thread, I found the writer's placement and commentary on Keystone to be quite comical. Not sure who this writer is, but I like his style. To-wit:

36. Keystone. This is the worst beer currently sold on American soil. It sits behind chilled glass in a convenience-store fridge like a dumb rebuke to the explosion of American beer variety all around it. In 1978 there were 89 breweries in the U.S.; today there are more than 2,400, and most of the new ones are better than most of the old ones. In 2013 craft beer is no longer the exclusive domain of West Coast weirdos and psychotic woodsmen. These fine days you can score Samuel Adams or Sierra Nevada at the least ambitious of convenience stores and Dogfish Head 90 Minute on the least reliable of trains. And then there is Keystone, which first appeared to the world in 1989, in Chico, Calif., home of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Keystone separates itself from the rest of the crap pack by augmenting the typical stale/sour flavor profile with notes of brown bananas and green armpits. Keystone is worse than Heineken and murder.

Parrots are crazy. Mrs TFs friend has one and she knows all sorts of songs. Pretty cool

He had nicer things to say about Keystone Light. :shrug:

How come they don't market it as a 'canned beer that tastes like it's in a bottle' any more? Talk about dumb marketing ideas that worked...

That sounds just like Mr. krista's writing style.

Exciting news in the krista household: after a bit of wrangling, Mr. krista has accepted a job as Executive Chef at the only upscale restaurant in Granada, Nicaragua. It's been written up in the NY Times and the Delta Sky magazine, and the place is impeccable in terms of style and service, but we've always thought the food was just OK. This will be a chance to take it to a new level. :excited:

My last yard sale included selling my original Nintendo and ten games on credit for $20 to a kid across the street. He never came back with the money. :wall:

:lmao:

I am going to be having my first-ever yard sale August 10, which I am dreading with the fury of a thousand suns. Maybe I'll go buy a whoopie cushion in hopes of making it better.

They suck. I've put a few hundred bucks in my pocket but will have probably 30-40 hours in it when all said and done. I'd almost rather have spent two hours and just taken it all to Goodwill for the tax deduction.

I wonder if I should just do this.

 
Random comment I just came across on an article I read (discussing effects of choice of plates and utensils on food taste). F'ing engineers. :lol:

I once worked in a place where the engineering department was separated from the kitchen by a long corridor. Walking briskly with a full cup of coffee causes the coffee to slosh about, and the linoleum in the hallway was spotted by ancient spills. An engineer named Jeff Brown figured out that the way to deal with the coffee-sloshing problem was to squish his styrofoam cup rhythmically in time with his steps; squeezing the cup fore and aft, in the line of travel, damps out the oscillations set up in the coffee by walking. You can't do this with a ceramic cup. Maybe the coffee doesn't taste as good, but there is less of it on the floor.

We did one yard sale and swore never again. All of our crap goes to goodwill and various charaties now.

I would think this is actually the better "value" decision. My family did one when my parents split and I went off to college, and while I made some money selling old CDs and sports equipment, my mom and dad barely made enough to cover the advertisement cost, let alone the 8 hours or so they stood out there. Would have been more economically beneficial to just donate it all and get the write-off.

However, I would imagine that you have nicer stuff than most. That may change things since you might be able to get "real" money for some of your nicer stuff.

 
Man, I love hosting garage/yard sales! K4, fly me in and I'll run it for you. I can talk to complete strangers all day long and find the art of haggling to be very insightful about human nature. I love selling stuff on Craigslist too, though my attempts at selling sex on there were met with abject failure once pics were requested. :kicksrock:
