GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

[Bob Sacamano]

any food you need to put syrup on before you can choke it down sucks. pancakes, waffles, french toast, all the same.

Oh, bull####!!! That's like saying pasta sucks because it needs sauce.

sauce<>syrup. basically you're eating a piece of cake for breakfast with any of these. I'm not going to be the health police here. I'm fat. I drink instead of eating breakfast. But I'll take my calories in the form of a bloody mary with bacon in it 7 days a week over a piece of hot bread covered in sugar.

Healthiness and/or relative value versus alcohol was not your original statement.

I think he's recycling GM's argument that grown men should not eat carbs and sugar for breakfast.

Soaking your corn in it, on the other hand, is completely different and wholly acceptable.

it has nothing to do with health. If I want breakfast, I do not want dessert.

I hate pancakes, waffles and French toast. They're all just versions of cake.

If people want to eat dessert for breakfast, I'm not going to judge them. I'll just drink my breakfast beverage, eat a seafood benedict and mock them for their childish choices.

Corn. Everyone likes corn, right?

I've always just boiled it on the stove for a few minutes, but lately I've been roasting it in the husk (40 minutes at 400) and whoa. So good. I'm eating at least one ear just about every night.

Grill them shits

I agree with TRE. Grillin's the biz.

Third on the grilling train.

I've been watching a marathon of "Dual Survival" today. Hadn't heard of it before, but it puts two ultra-macho survivalist-type guys without any stuff in the wilderness somewhere (currently they're in Panama) and they have to survive and try to get rescued (leaving aside the fact, of course, that there are cameras following them). I think one guy is about to get dysentery (GM spelling?) and they are currently fashioning spears so they can try to kill a pig.

Anyway, there haven't been any pancakes on this show.

Do we have an audiophile or two in here? Is there a "best value that sounds pretty good" portable bluetooth speaker? I've got a buddy with one of those Jamboxes, and he seems to like it. Something better? Cheaper? I'm just looking for something to take out onto the back patio when the need arises.

Got this one and love it.

I would categorize Homer's choices as 100% child, not childish.

Are they trying to find the Oregon Trail?

I used to watch that show a lot. the hippie is really good at making fire, but he's kind of an #####.

Saw that show for the first time last week at a buddy's place before going out to the bar, had never heard of it before. Seemed kinda fake/staged to me, but I feel that way about most of those survival shows.

I think they were in New Zealand or something in the episode I watched and missed a group of hunters camping nearby by mere minutes!!!

Yeah, they always just miss someone.

The last episode was pretty cool, where they were stuck in a cavel. Actually I find all of it cool even if staged. Makes me want to go live in the wilderness, but then I remember I can't get NFL Sunday Ticket there.

Great lightning show here in NYC. Mrs. O out at a dinner with her local mom friends. Girls at asleep. Otis taking off tomorrow for MY BIRTHDAY to extend the 4th weekend. Drinking some wine, saying "Ef it" to work. On the 4th the Mrs. and I drive up to Mohegan Sun for some degenerate eating ,drinking, and gambling without the kids. First night of peace in ages.

And god bless the GMTAN. Hope you're all doing well. Life can be really ####ty and hard sometimes -- I had a recent bout that I can't talk about -- and so we have to really just soak in the good while we have it.

You're an awesome bunch. Hi m'r f'n five.

Cody Lundin. He's no longer on the show. Matt (I think that's his nam - not Joe the Army guy) took his place this season.

That's why I asked which one. Matt the new guy is the one who wouldn't kill the rattlesnake because "it might have something to teach me, man".

ETA: I like Matt but didn't like Cody.

I don't think that's coy. Coy is "Why do these things always happen to me?" or "I guess I just can't trust anyone after all." They invite someone to ask questions. Oat just mentioned having issues but not wanting to talk about it, which is the opposite of the posts that I find annoying, at least.

WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?? NOT TODAY OMG.

Yea, he's not trying to be coy -- just doesn't feel like talking. Not as bad as "today is the worst day of my life" or "some people can't be trusted" and then there's 20 replies asking what happened and no answer. Just reminds me of that because it makes me curious and hope all is well.
