GM's thread about nothing (54 Viewers)

Random purchase that seems like a few folks here might benefit from. This occurred to me as I had to make an extra stop to go pick up a bag of ice the other day.

My freezer produces ice...but it's usually not enough ice to fill an ice chest, and if you empty that ice, you don't have other ice to put in your drinks. Bags of ice are typically $2-3 at the store, plus you have to go there...sometimes it's your only purchase.

Boom - $17 for 100 ice bags shipped. Now I'll always have multiple bags of ice on hand :thumbup:

it's the little things
Where the heck do you store 100 bags of ice?
Hint - I'm not going to fill them all up at once

I fill old milk cartons with filtered water and freeze them. Several advantages:

Take less space than cubes

Stay frozen much longer

Keeps food in your freezer okay for a few days if it dies or power goes off.

You can remove it out of your ice chest after a few hours and have a refreshing drink of ice cold water

Making the ice into chunks for cocktails is a blast. You get an ice pick and attack the carton stabbing it repeatedly pretending its timsorichochet's head.
I do have a few of those as well...but sometimes you need actual ice

 
I will be in Kansas City in 10 days. Probably by myself. Is there anything worth doing other than drinking in the lobby bar?
Kauffmann Stadium is awesome

Negro Leagues Hall of Fame is great for a baseball guy

BBQ Restaurants - KC is one of the biggest BBQ cities in the country

 
Lol at the fake vomit. Pulling out all the stops.
Next week she'll be pregnant. Book it
:lmao: yeah, fortunately, she's a former champion figure skater, so high metabolism/super low body fat = Aunt Flo on vacation
Just catching up on the thread and hopefully this has been addressed, but all my ifriends with penises should understand that no period =/= cant get pregnant. Worse, the lack of period can mean the pregnancy goes undetected. :grad:
Weird. I've never gotten a girl pregnant who hasn't had her period yet. :confused:
:lmao:
JFC :lmao:

 
Second Battle of Man Asses
So good.
:goodposting:

This went largely underappreciated.

Hanging out at my buddy's house tonight and watching NASCAR.
what's this now?
The Wisconsin equivalent is sitting around a snow drift eating cheese curds and drinking miller lite.
Damn, all I needed was the snow drift today.

Milwaukeeguy> wife and i are pretty certainly heading down next weekend for our anniversary (#6> suck it, Joe!). looking for some lunch/dinner recommendations.

been a while since we've been there and i know a lot of new places have popped up downtown/Bayview/3rd Ward. would like to maybe try one or two of those.

TIA

WNAY
Always depends on what you're looking for. I imagine good beer is somewhere on your agenda so...

Transfer Pizza (1st and Michell) is pretty good if you like "weird pizzas". I had one the other night with sausage, mushroom, ham and an egg on it. It was great. They have a decent beer selection too

Cafe Centraal (Lincoln and KK) is probably better. Good beers but a much wider menu. Sugar Maple is literally right around the corner as well and that's an awesome craft beer bar (no food though). I lived 2 blocks from there about 4 years ago.

There's a few more in Bay View/Walkers Point area that I can try to remember tomorrow. I'm still in Bay View but I'm not hip enough to go to the 3rd Ward (though Cafe Benelux is nice but always crowded as ####) or downtown areas very often. :offdeebatsignal:

You paid 17 bucks for bags?

"Boom"? Really?

Maybe you missed "included twist tie."

 
Seemed like a steep price to me too. Those must be some killer bags.

Maybe we should make some and sell them for $16 shipped. :moneybag:

Yeah, I was also shocked by this, but I was letting the guy have his moment.

You realize it's all about the convenience of filling 100 bags of ice. At once.

 
We ran out of ice and the cabin so those would have come in handy but then it turned out there was still a bag of ice in one cooler and a half a bag of ice in another and so we were fine. Then we went into town and bought a couple more bags of ice the next day.

How exactly would empty bags come in handy when you run out of ice?

You can fill them with the bodies of people who died from hear stroke due to no ice...?

Fill them with lake water for shaving on the go.

If they were full. But not really because it turned out we had ice. Not really sure what I'm doing here.

 
Business idea: iPhone all for ice purchases. Imagine buying ice from a good water source and Habing it delivered.
Here's my business idea from this week, which you can have. Coat/glove/hat rental. I am moving to a place where I won't need any such things but will be back here visiting during cold weather sometimes. I don't want to buy these things nor lug them around. I'd imagine lots of people in warm-weather climates hate buying this stuff just for a quick trip at Christmas to see family or whatever. Hence, coat/glove/hat rental. Or really just the coats at least. Little kiosks in cold-weather cities. In the summer turn it into a shaved ice place (not really).

YWIA.

See, this is why you make infinity per hour.

 
Not enough money in that idea. A pair of gloves for $5 a day? More than a day and its worth buying your own. A coat for what, $20 a day? Three days and its worth buying your own. Consider overhead and logistics of renting the items and getting them back and you would need a ton of scale to make even a little money.

 
Also, do we want to try one more time to have a GMTAN Fantasy Football League? We can just have the draft in here. 14 teams, $25 entry, I'll clone it like another league I run, which is a bit more wide open and fun than your grandfather's fantasy football league. I should have some time this summer to organize/commish this.
Thoughts on doing just a draft and "best ball" and no transactions during the year? The draft sounds fun, but the thought of another league to manage doesn't.

Just my $.02
Oh, for ####'s sake, it's 25 bucks, dude. Not every league needs a draft dominator and over thinking. If the thought of this league makes you break out in hives, just avoid it.

 
ESPN is showing the hot dog eating contest. I decided to try it out...
I know I'm not the only in here that thought/hoped GM was actually attempting a hot dog eating contest rather than simply making an effort to watch one.
That's how I first read it too. Would have been awesome
I don't understand the fascination with this event. They spent 30 minutes masturbating over some hot dog store, it's tradition and ideals, then 10 minutes on introductions and finally - after much pomp and circumstance - began the event. I wanted to puke the second I saw a person dip a hot dog in water and give it a blow job. This was bar none the worst television I've ever tried to endure and I sat through Cop Rock. When George Bush said they hate us for our freedom, I think he had it all wrong. They hate us for crap like this. I know I do.

You can pee in them from laughing so hard at this thread.

I'll add mine to the mix... DSLR rental. Most people only need a high end camera for certain occasions, not all the time. This service would let you borrow one when you need it, but you wouldn't have to pay the high startup cost for the camera body and multiple lenses. The trick would be to up the pricing for holidays to help offset the lulls.

I like how you say there is no money in her idea, but yet your idea about an iPhone app for ice is perfectly valid :lmao:
