GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

We have a bank robbery in progress a mile or so from the house... http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=...&id=7873314

I take that as a sign to start drinking heavily... actually, I might be psychic, because I started drinking heavily before they even started the robbery. i may have to parlay my new found powers into a mega-million win tonight (247 million or so).
making CNN now... I'm going for another cocktail... :lol:
 
So basically nearly everyone who regularly participates in this thread:1. Drinks too much2. Has trouble sleeping3. Was a slacker in collegeInteresting.
And don't forget:#4 has a story about ####ing in their pants#5 has gotten caught self-pleasuring himself in numerous awkward situations#6 loves bacon
This plus #7 (gambling) is more or less my NYE plan.

Geez, that's actually pretty scary stuff.ETA: I'm going to hell for laughing at this part:

Pearland police have confirmed the bank manager was beaten by the suspects. Shots had been fired inside the bank, leading to confusion over how the manager was injured. He was taken to a nearby fast food restaurant, but police are not sure if he was taken to a hospital for medical treatment. His condition is unknown.

One of my old fraternity brothers is the manager of a Chase branch in Pearland. Probably not him, though as he would have demanded cigarettes instead of fast food.
 
So basically nearly everyone who regularly participates in this thread:1. Drinks too much2. Has trouble sleeping3. Was a slacker in collegeInteresting.
YesYesGot banned from living on campus at a juco, but had a 3.6. waited 10+ years, went back and got BBA with a 3.9 overall, so I guess the answer is "yesno"

Umm, there are 2 branch offices for Chase in Pearland 'proper'. Hopefully he's at the other one... :banned: No word on the status of the manager that went to the hospital.

Well, look at it this way. Either he's OK or I won't have to pay off the side bet from our fantasy football league this year.

#7 degenerate gambler?
1. Not anymore2. Never3. Yes4. Yes5. Yes6. #### Yes7. Yes
For you and everyone else that answered YES to number 5: who caught you? Family member? Teacher? Co-worker? Librarian? Custodian? C'mon, there must be good stories relating to this. I'm looking for my last enormous chuckle of 2010 to Bonzai myself. And BTW, since I answer YES to #7, I'm putting my money on SLB for having the best story.
 
Staying in tonight with the wife and middle school kids.

Bottle of sparkling wine and sparkling cider chilling.

:slapithigh:

Tomorrow, we're going to the Gator Bowl. Don't have a dog in the fight. We're on the Miss St side of the stadium. I can see myself being sick of cowbells by mid-afternoon.

Yes ( I have some unreal stories. Stories I would never even consider posting anywhere. )

#8 Have had the police raid your dorm room.

 
Mr. krista4 is making from-scratch pasta bolognese and garlic bread, and has played nothing but Big Star all day, in what I'm sure is an effort to distract me from the fact that he backed into my car yesterday.

Mmmm, it just might work.

He's going to make a great wife to some lucky guy.
 
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. - Vince Lombardi
This is my new motto for the coming year.I like it.

I'm going to learn it

I'm going to live it.

After my health scare a few weeks ago, I have no choice.

Happy New Year to everyone, even the people who don't like me.

 
Do college kids have panty raids anymore or did that go out with coonskin coats and chicks just give'm anyway anyhow?

Miami U of Ohio - freshman year '76-'77.

Pledged Phi Delt sophomore year - left school after that year. Entire frat house closed due to alcohol, drugs, grades, town/campus behavior, etc.

 
All are welcome to play in this....the more the merrier. :shrug:

Greetings!

If you are receiving this email, it means two things:

1) I haven't started my New Year's Eve drinking yet.

2) You played in the 2010 NFL Playoff - Fantasy Contest and are being invited back to join the fun in 2011.

Below is a summary of the rules, deadlines, payment information and payouts:

Rules

Each partcipant must log into this website: www.rtsports.com and log in with their information. Search for "Nesbitt Playoff Contest". I will email an invite to those who need it.

Once you have logged on, each owner must select a full roster of 9 players from the teams who have qualified for the 2011 NFL Playoffs. The rosters are as follows:

1 QB

2 RB

2 WR

1 TE

1 Def/ST

1 K

1 Flex at ANY position (this includes QB, Def/ST, K in addition to RB, WR, TE)

Multiple teams can own the same players. This is NOT a draft. You can log in and select your line up at any time PRIOR to the kick off of the first playoff game. Once the first game begins, rosters are frozen and locked for the duration of the playoffs. You can alter your roster as many times as you like prior to the first game. Once that first game begins, that's it.

You will NOT be able to see any other team's roster until the NFL games begin. At that time, I will release all the rosters for all to see. I will fill my roster out blind and will be one of the first to submit.

Once you select your roster, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU START ALL YOUR PLAYERS. I will come behind you and make sure you do this as well, but please start and activate your roster prior to game number 1.

As I said, once the games begin, everything is frozen. No more roster changes are allowed. If one of your players exits the playoffs, that's the breaks. This is a very challenging game because you have to not only find the best playmakers, but choose the teams that advance the furthest in the playoffs. Most years, this comes down to the owners who predict the Super Bowl contestants.

Any questions? Let me know.

Deadlines

All rosters must be submitted and activated prior to the first NFL game. I'm not sure when the first game will be, but I will make sure everybody knows the deadlines. Once that first game begins, no other entries will be allowed. Everything is frozen for the duration.

Payment Information

Entry fee is $20. I must either have your money or have a promise from you that money is on the way to be eligible for this contest. Entries that have not paid will be kicked out if payment is not received before round 2 of the playoff games. No exceptions.

You can paypal me at {pm me for details} or send me a check/cash to:

{pm me for details}

If you choose paypal, please don't stiff me with the stupid fees. Add a buck and change to cover their ridiculous fees. Thanks.

Cost to run this website is usually $20.

Payouts

In the past, we have gone with a 'winner take all' format. The winner is the owner with the most total cumulative points throughout the playoffs. In the rare case that we have a tie, the owners will split the pot. There is no money for second place.

Usually we have about 20 owners in this thing. I am going to ramp it up this year and try to double that. You are welcome to pass this along to friends or interested parties. Just make sure they aren't deadbeats. Thanks.

Good luck and let's get this thing cranking!

This may be worth the $20 entry fee alone.
