GM's thread about nothing (19 Viewers)

In cueto's head bigtime. Unreal. Drops ball and has to chase off the mound?! Next pitch homerun. Sick.
How many threads are you going to post this in?
This one and the pirates thread. Cut me some slack, I'm a guy who's had a 10 or 20 game package every year since 06.
Sorry, not currently in the best of moods.
No worries. I was in 8th grade when Francisco Cabrera drove Sid bream in from first. I went to every home playoff game in the 90s. Tonight, I'm home.

Technically you went to every home playoff game in the 2000's too, right?

On my play station.

 
I don't know what's going on in here. It's like a foreign language.

Also, I'm extremely happy every time I look at my avatar and think of cosjobs.

 
Good lawyering, Thron. Now go get an avatar that works.

Not sure if anybody caught the Oregon/Cal game Saturday night. I have been going to games regularly since 2000. I have sat through some bad, wet, cold, nasty games. I've never in my life attempted to sit through what came down on Saturday. And it is STILL coming down. Hard. From what I understand, a typhoon that came from wherever typhoons come from banged into a cold front that came down from Alaska. And then something else came up from the south. And it all just meshed together over western Oregon and dumped. I lasted less than a half before surrendering like the French and going to the beer garden. I still feel like my body is cold and wet. Blah blah blah...
The wife and I went to the Packers-Seahawks playoff game in Lambeau in '03? '04? Whatever. The game where Matt Hasselbeck famously said, "We'll take the ball and we're going to score," just before throwing a pick 6. Good times!

Anyway, being Green Bay and being January, it was of course something like -1 outside. And you're sitting on metal bleachers. So not only are all your appendages frozen, but the cold is actively attacking you through your ###hole, as well. Freakin' brutal. So at halftime my wife went inside and found a seat at the bar "to warm up". I left with an, "OK, I'll be out a little after kickoff." Yeah, she never came back out. I almost lost a toe, but it was completely worth it. Fun game.
I was there too. Sitting in the end zone AL Harris ran into after the pick.

:thumbup:
That doesn't seem like the safest place to sit during a game.

 
I grew up sailing one design racing dinghies on the east coast (2 guys, 14' boat, jib, mainsail, spinnaker). The one design means that everybody is pretty much even as far as equipment goes so the competition is a bit more pure than non-one design racing that is a factor of both skill and equipment. I refused to crew for my dad so I was a bit of a mercenary. The most success I had was crewing in the 1987 Nationals where we finished 2nd. I just found out that the guy I crewed for died recently. The guy was an amazing sailor. In those Nationals, we finished 1st twice, 3rd twice and had a 7th in the individual races. The 7th is what killed us but it was probably one of the most amazing things I ever experienced in competition. We were over the line at the start which meant we had to circle back and pass the line again. In a shorter race like these consisting of 6 legs of maybe a mile or 2 each, that's usually a killer. However, in this race, despite giving the 42 boat fleet a massive head start, we just consistently passed boat after boat to get that 7th place finish. Just amazing. It was like he was using wind that nobody else had. I would say it had to be similar to when great athletes are in the zone and just play at a higher level than everybody else.

I'm not choked up about it as it's not like we were particularly close. I just wanted to give the guy some post mortem props

I think that's nice. It's nice that you remember something special about someone that perhaps no one else knew. That's good stuff.

 
Kev > I put San Diego into the starting lineup as they get the Raiders this week. Felt that was a better match-up than Indy or Cle.

Going with 2 QBs again this week. CJ and Trent with the rock. Boldin and Cruz to receive. Do you want to sub James Jones in?

 
No word from Bentley. I worry that his NO mistress has killed him and stuffed him in a steamer trunk.
:kicksrock:
I texted you right after I posted in here that I was safely in bed (and while I was trying to get NO girl to send me pictures). Back in Austin but about to head out to Dallas for another meeting.

Continuing on the rural theme we have a creek behind our house where we fish and throw rocks. My neighbor also occasionally falls into it when he has had too much to drink.

FYP

 
If my wife went by the nickname 'Angry', I think I'd re-think the text solicitations of pictures from non-spousal sources. Course that didn't stop me when I had a wife with a nickname of 'psycho', but then again, it turned out to be all sorts of fun when she discovered it.

 
Hypothetically speaking.... suppose you were in a magic football league with some swell guys and gals from the internet and Tanner. Now, lets say when you are going to send the pale-ish commissioner of the league your dues you decide to also send a package of goodies. In the box of goodies, you want to include a tube of ointment that was prescribed to you after you had minor surgery for having a wart removed from your shaft which you got when you contracted HPV which happens to 80% of sexually active men. Again, this is all hypothetical. Anyways, is there potential to have legal issues if you get caught sending a prescribed substance via the US Mail?

TIA, and I will answer your hypothetical questions.

I'll look at it this evening, GB. No stopping this train.

I'm going to dallas tomorrow as well.
