GM's thread about nothing (9 Viewers)

[GroveDiesel]

I left my car running for 10 hours today. I work from home, and I had a meeting at 10:30 so I started my car at about 10 o'clock to get warmed up. I went back in the house to pack my laptop bag and finish getting ready and got a phone call that the meeting was canceled. I immediately got through three other phone calls and got into some other projects completely forgetting about the car.

About 3 PM I had to run out to a different meeting and my wife just gotten back home so her car was nice and warm. I decided to just take her car came home around 530. 8:00 PM, after the kids were put to bed, I told my wife I had to run out to Walmart to get some things and couldn't find my car keys. That's when, after about 10 minutes of searching I realized that I never turn my car off.

Apparently, if you leave a 1999 Honda CRV running for 10 hours it will burn approximately one quarter tank of gas.

Index worthy?

did I miss it or did nobody say that with Abe this would have only been 10 minutes?

Or that Krista would have traded it in for a RAV4 with a pizza oven within the first hour?

squares

 

[Guster]

Still waiting for squares $ from: YSR x2, BostonFred x2, Homer

but since I've met them all in real life, I'm going to assume they're good for it.

I used the super-mega-uber complicated rand() and rank() functions in Excel to assign the squares.

I've taken the results of this randomization and put them into PDF files so that peoples can view them on any device or easily print them out if desired

hey look, it's a squares box (or is it a boxes square?)

random kitten picture

not really but semi-alphabetical list by screen name or nickname or a random name i used to track

if you're unhappy with your square assignment or anyone else's square assignment, PM shuke or send a tweet to the GMTAN account

I was waiting to see my squares before paying. Payment sent.

I've enjoyed all the notes that folks sent... can't imagine how many warnings are attached to my paypal account now

I have my doubts about the randomization. there seems to be a pattern for people that got multiple squares. look at Aaron, me, GM, IB, ignoramus...all of us got the same number on the same team in at least two squares.

ATTN: GPJTRUCK Dave Brubeck was the Macklemore of 1954

I love that he's sorry for winning the Grammy that he submitted himself for. And then went up and accepted the Grammy. "I got up there and froze", this ####### still accepted it. Whatever he was going to say, he was still going to take the award.

Now I'm going to hate white people for the rest of the day.

I have no clue what this is about. What are you guys talking about?

I honestly don't know who Maclemore is. I think he's a rapper who does shtick songs but I really don't know that for sure.

I have 2 squares and got 4 different numbers

16 people got same number/team. I'm assuming the numbers were assigned randomly in the semi-alphabetical order? if so, then there are another 10 or so where a same team/same number was generated but got split to two people.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

So you could end up with a bunch of 9s and 2s like me?

There's been a at least one of those in the past 5 SBs with 3 safeties in that span. Of course they always seem to end back on the 0,3, 4, or 7, so you're still screwed.

Guys, Uruk has Denver 5, Seattle 6 and Denver 6, Seattle 3.

If Guster was really up to something, UH would have the best squares because Guster wouldn't think he would have to pay out.

seattle peoples> want to make plans to make plans to go to a thunderbirds game? if you go during the week tickets on the glass are only $15. suites are $30

tickets on the glass there are ok. not great.

you talking in general or at Showare? I've never been there. Going with a small group next Tuesday. We got the club seats for $20.

Whatever it's called where the Thunderbirds play. They still mail me promotional material and emails asking me to buy tickets.

It's an alright place, but I was a little disappointed after going to see the Winterhawks play in Portland at the Rose Garden. Moda Center

Fixed to reflect the dumbest name change in stadium history.
