GM's thread about nothing (42 Viewers)

So my coworker and I were talking about "Marconi plays the Mamba" in the Starship song "we Built this city" which naturally led to a forty minute discussion of the movie "Mannequin" with Kim Catrell and Andrew McCarthy. During the conversation I did a little research and learned that Grace Slick is SEVENTY ####### FOUR YEARS OLD.

Oh my.
Jimi Hendrix would be 71 this year. Jim Morrison would be 70. Seems like yesterday I was checking out the Doors at the Whiskey.
Nirvana got nominated for the Rock and Roll HOF today. I remember when their first album came out. :(
:lmao: I was going to bars when they hit it big. There was a crappy, mainstream rock/cover band out of Orange County called Nirvana. They used to play at this bar my GF worked at. The got $30,000 to give up the rights to the name "Nirvana".

 
Do you think we will get to a point where gay people won't even have to "come out" anymore?
I think you are seeing more people at younger ages confirm that they are gay; some kids in HS and Junior High are now for sure, without caring about what other people think. Before that age, it probably isn't relevant or thought about.

That's one of the things I noticed the most when I went back to my college in April. I spent a long weekend with the actives in my fraternity and noticed a handful of openly gay brothers mingling comfortably with their straight brothers. We always had a couple of guys in the closet that we suspected were gay, but in the early 90's, there was still a stigma about having gay fraternity brothers, especially in the deep deep south. Cool to see the evolution of mankind, even in Jackson, MS.

We've been talking about Jackson ever since the fegs came out...

 
I just got an email from a man who replied to a question I asked with "Golly, sure!"

I'm not sure what to do with that.

 
Going to allow "K-man".

I use "D" or "Deck" for Declan I guess. Haven't tried "D-man". Also use Tank sometimes, but that's his name.
Tank's pretty badasssss. Not sure how you got that one approved, but god love you, that's freaking awesome.
Have a great pic of him as a baby where we stopped at a VFW in Wisconsin and I sat him on a tank. Tank on a tank.

When I reffed Peewee football, there was a kid named Rage Thomas. He was the middle linebacker and awesome. I should look him up. Maybe he's gay or straight.

Modified version of Ray J or RJ? RJ>Hi

 
I've got a meeting with a mom in about 5 minutes. She sent me an email yesterday asking if we could meet to discuss "an issue" with her son.

It might have something to do with me almost calling the kid "stupid" on Friday.*

* I really didn't call him stupid but told him "I need you to let me know if you're just being sarcastic or playing dumb. I guess the third choice is that you're actually stupid but I know you really aren't."
I did once. That's when my wife told me that she didn't think I was cut out for instructing.

Yea, that was the only year I was an instructor

They all had their names taped to their helmets. His said "Rage Thomas". Anyways, I tried to name my first born "Knife Fight" but settled for "Knox"

I've already locked in "Brick" for the middle name if we have another son. "Missile", "Explosion", "Rocket" and "Monster' were all turned down.

Ooh, Blade is good. Except the whole gay blades thing.

Brick is a bit of an homage to my old man who was a bricklayer for a long time.

And "Machine". Don't forget "Machine".

 
Went to school with a dude named Thor. He looked exactly what you'd imagine a 13 year-old kid named Thor would look like.

I usually don't share personal stuff on here, but...

Had to make a interesting decision last night.

My aunt sends me a text, telling me that my grandfather is in the hospital. This is my mom's stepfather, but the closest thing she had as to a Dad, even though he was very abusive to her as a kid which affected her for the rest of her life. For this reason among others, I was never very close to him. I would see him on holidays and other times my mom would force the family together. Once my mom and step dad passed away, this side of the family really means nothing to me anymore. They are not good people.

That said, family is family and I could take an hour out of my evening to check on the old *******. So I get to the hospital and he is all alone in his room. A beat up, destroyed version of the guy I use to watch fill out a horse betting form in the newspaper while smoking a pipe. He has to wear a catheter all the time now, and apparently he pulled it out at home, and caused all kinds of damage and infection. When I get there, he asks the nurse for a pain pill which she says she will bring to him right away. While she is getting it, he digs into his nightstand, pulls out a small bottle and tips it back into his mouth. I ask him what that was and he says, "pain pill". The nurse comes in and soon gives him another pain pill and something for his infection. He asks for a sleeping pill and she says they don't give sleeping pills at that hospital and they would make him comfortable. As soon as she leaves, he starts fishing in his nightstand again, and finally finds a baggie of pills, sleeping pills of course. Takes one and settles in.

I'm torn at this point. I want this old man to be comfortable, but I don't want something happening to him and the blame falling to the hospital. I leave and walk around the hospital a bit, finally going back up to his floor, finding his nurse, and telling her about his secret stash. She didn't even blink an eye, called him "a sneaky one" and asked if I wanted to take the contraband with me. I said no, I didn't even want him to know it was me that ratted on him, and if she would just go and get them once he was asleep.

In the end, I was pissed at him for even putting me in that position, so I didn't as bad about my decision.
You're good people Bogart. I wouldn't have even bothered going :shrug:
Abusive stepfather to your deceased mother? Yeah, me neither.

 
How do you know if your son is actually gay, or if he's just being a little brother and copying his big sister like most younger siblings do at 3 years old?
My brother played dress-up, my little pony, and barbies with my sister. He also only liked pretty girls (if you were an ugly teacher or something, he hated you), and then later in life obsessed about the spice girls, Brittany spears, and his favorite x-man was Storm. Also, musicals instead of sports. 100% gay now, and we all just knew forever.
There was a kid that lived in the neighborhood when my older brothers and sister were little. His name was Pat. He always wanted to play "mom" when the girls played "house". He was obsessed with his mother's clothes and make-up. As a teen he worked as a tranny prostitute in order to fund his sex-change operation (which he had when he was about 20). I think he has the hivvy now.

Your kid is probably OK though, Frosty.
I had a friend in 6th grade that thought it was totally normal for boys to shower together. Spent the night at his house once. did not shower. Did not go back.

Turned out gay, obviously.
But we still accept you, GB.
They probably hadn't yet invented "gay" when you were in 6th grade. :coffee:
I'm pretty sure Tanner's depicted in some of those scenes on the Greek urns.

 
Let me ask you this: Who initiates the naked jump parties at your house, Frost? We can go from there.

K-man got accepted into the Summa program for middle school next year. Pretty proud of him, gay or no. Though his inclusion into this program is confirmation that he's probably not my son by blood. :oldunsure:
Is this hip-hop for "summer program"?

Yes as we are a very hip-hoppy family.

There was a guy at college named Thor. He was the most flaming guy in my class. No shtick.
