GM's thread about nothing (51 Viewers)

[Tiger Fan]

I bought a bag of ice yesterday for $1.99. I handed the cashier $2 and walked away before she could even try to hand me one of those outdated useless coins.

Sorry you wasted $1.99 and the time it took to make the trip to get he ice.

 

[General Malaise]

But what happened with the penny? That was his inner dialogue. Did he get the penny? Did he leave it in the take a penny tray? Did she pocket it as part of her own really slow superman 3 scheme?

Oh, I took the penny, all right. Because the total due was $4.99, not $5.00. I will admit to being frugal, but I will not apologize. I don't make FBG money, so if I want to go to Vegas twice a year, I have to economize elsewhere.

I'll cover our Tigerfan League Dues, GB.

It might be helpful if we knew if they were moving to Midland or Dallas or Austin or Tyler.

HEY GUYS, I KNOW SOMEBODY MOVING TO EUROPE. CAN YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING EUROPEAN?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Walking back. No keystone so I got some natural light.

Update?

Ran out of beer halfway back and had to turn around

 

[General Malaise]

Wife is gone out of town with our only working vehicle. Mine is in the shop.

I am thankful for the chance to sit around and watch nascar without interruption. But I drank all my beer last night. :(

So I am wondering about walking the 1.25 miles to the convenience store for more. Hm. It's not the walk that would be bad, it's walking home carrying a case of beer.

I'm going to guess there are absolutely NO TIES between your lineage and the Pilgrims, Lewis & Clark, Admiral Byrd, The guys who pretended to land on the moon or ANY of the explorers, am I right?

####### Rick Perry. He had to go get indicted and now the local news doesn't have time to do TV interviews with me about a volunteer project we are doing tomorrow morning. The worst part is that I have to spend my time actually volunteering instead of talking about volunteering.

Fifty feet from my door. Beer in good shape.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

people in Texas apparently love Keystone Light. Plus they all wear cowboy hats I think. So maybe this?

My expenses are also low. I don't have a wife or children. I don't make a lot, but I don't spend a lot. I'm the anti-Patrick Ewing.

Yeah, I asked my realtor® a couple of days ago to find this out, but I don't think he has yet. I don't even know if they're moving to the city like you or the suburbs like Babe. Why don't you throw out some general suggestions that I could tailor appropriately when I find out? I was counting on you as Mr. Texas to know this one.

[Ignoramus]

Granted, I've only bought three houses and sold one so I will defer to the subject matter expert(s) here, but I have never given nor received a gift from the other party when buying or selling a house. Is this something that I'm supposed to be doing?

I made something similar out of a Milwaukees Best box a long time ago. That hat clearly identifies someone as a person ready to party.

We left a selection of local sauces/foods, a bottle of champagne and two glasses for the people who bought our house.

How much are you looking to spend?

I'm drinking whiskey and watching Breaking Bad on my outdoor TV. The good thing about getting bigtimed on my morning tv appearances is that I don't have to be at the middle school at 6am so I'm getting a little tootered. I'm still supposed to be on KEYE at 9 for any locals that might be interested.

See, this is why you and Krista are better people than I.

Not "supposed to", I think. For me, it depends. I did nothing for the people who bought our Memphis house because they were the worst people on earth and I hope they die in a fire or in whatever fashion is more excruciating than a fire, like maybe are set on fire after being partially eaten but not killed by a bear.

But usually, I do something.

I don't know--I'm open on cost.

[Officer Pete Malloy]

For as much as my 19 year old drives me crazy some times he cracks me up.

He just got back from hanging out with some friends in L.A. They went to a couple of concerts and bummed around. He tells me they were in Venice and saw that this place was not only offering free HIV testing but giving gift cards as incentives. So he and his buddies all did it. He was more excited to tell me he got a $10 Taco Bell card than being HIV negative.

Krista and Homer turn on SNL right now.

What did I miss?

Pharrell's Happy.

 

[shuke]

Walking back. No keystone so I got some natural light.

So they were out of all other beers, too?

 

[shuke]

Please please please tell me the video of shuke on a slip n' slide was posted in here. So so good.

Yes. I have action photos, also.

First thought is a Frederic Remington painting/print.

Maybe something Seattle and Texas related like a flannel cattle prod or artisan baked beans.

(Probably already done, but I wasn't home most of the day)

 

[kevzilla]

Here you go, Krista

This is actually not that bad. If they're elderly and in Texas, they're going to wind up in there eventually.

Tarrytown?

Topical

Topical?

That looks gorgeous. I think I'd like to stay there some time but it's probably really expensive.

That lady probably had a stroke.

Frosty, is it ok to be kinda excited about the Purple this year?

Meh. Football is kind of stupid, but go for it.

Tacos were awesome. The cilantro lime cream sauce was pretty key.
