GM's thread about nothing (23 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Checking in with love from the train station in downtown Austin. Talking to the digital team for MLSE (leafs, raptors) here in an hour.

We have a train? Have we established exactly what in the #### it is that you do yet?

Before today, I always thought the plural of 'leaf' was 'leaves', but now I'm not so sure.

not in Canada.

By golly, I think you're right! Toronto Maple Leafs! The more you know.

 

[General Malaise]

I had an ocular migraine last night. Neato. Couldn't really focus my eyes and saw flashing rainbow geometric shapes in my field of vision. Dr. Nympho confirmed I wasn't having a stroke or anything, and it went away after 20 minutes.

Apparently I can look forward to a cluster of real migraine headaches soon. So I have that going for me.

There are fake migraines?

ocular migraine is just a vision thing--no headache, nausea, etc.

but apparently they're a pretty good indicator that you're about to have a migraine headache.

And what was Dr. Knuckles 2nd opinion on this for you?

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I was bit by a rabbit raccoon once. Had to get a tennis shot.

You suggesting a threesome.

Pretty accurate as far as what it's like, only it lasts 20-30 minutes.

[5-ish Finkle]

I had rabbit tonight for the first time. Pretty ####### outstanding.

Tried it again for the first time in about 25 years just last week. Was awesome this time. First time....not so much.

Quite certain it was all about the person preparing it knowing what they were doing this time.

(Sorry, no love in my heart this AM yet.)

I have had rabbit a few times and also loved it, but note that it's typically not available at anything less than fine dining establishments, which puzzles me since you would think a species like rabbit would be easier to obtain than an STD for a mid-30s, sexually active man living in the North East.

Seriously. 80% of restaurants should have this.

I think a lot of the time they do, but it's a little taboo so they don't come right out and put it on the menu.

So, you're saying when you order the veal you're really getting the cotton-tail? Sneaky.

I'd wager a lot of establishments don't carry it because, let's be honest, a rabbit is pretty much just a rat with a better publicist and a puffier tail. That won't stop me from ordering it again when I have the opportunity, of course.

Related: While I was waiting for that meal to be served I kept wanting to demand that the cook bring me my hasenpfeffer.(don't ask me about the Men With Out Hats sample. I have no idea.)

Ah, good old classic migraine. I get those if I'm not sleeping well, under heavy stress or not eating right (especially skipping meals). Finals time always sucked in school, and nowadays being in trial can cause them.

Being dehydrated also contributes, and that's often associated with drinking alcohol so keep that in mind if you're having problems.

I don't have it that bad - if I pop ibuprofin when I start getting the visual effects it'll usually kill off the headache pretty much before it starts.

Was she having a stroke at the time?

 

[El Floppo]

oh... tl:dr:

Floppos are almost broke. Brilliant wife hasn't worked in years since kids. Old (good) job interviewed her today for basically the same old (good) position. thropwashers cheaply illicited.

Still tl imo

and your face is tl imo.

GL to your wife. What kind of stuff does she design? If you say "men's jeans with flap pockets and/or bling on the butt" I take it back.

If I recall, she used to be with J Crew, right?

I think she did some freelance for them, but never really worked there.

But she does do a lot of denim, and the new position would be denim. I'll pass on the solid gold, bling on the butt and flap pocket ideas...

 

[El Floppo]

The gf came over tonight for dinner with me and my daughter... They met once before briefly, but this was the first extended visit. My daughter passed out and went to bed, my girlfriend is currently passed out on my couch. I'm finishing a bottle of wine and catching up on the last several days of GMTAN. Life is good

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY

You might as well be eating Sun Chips and lettuce.

Seriously. You need to be surreptitiously working it into her dooker right now.

I think me and this FUBAR dude are going to fight IRL. Anyone know if he's ripped? Matuski power?

he's about to do a full Ironman, so definitely fit. If your fight involves stamina, you're done for.

 

[El Floppo]

On a related note to floppo, Mrs. Frosty got invited to participate in some sort of small business expo. For just $40 she gets an 8x8 booth at this exhibition thinger in St. Paul. I figure between materials to make product and expenditures to make her booth look like some kind of business we should end up negative just a couple hundred bucks or so.

thousands of tiny ads too?

Huh - never heard of it. Thought you just meant a migraine centered in your eye socket.

My head hurts just looking at that. Extremely accurate.

Apparently migraines can be contagious.

Just finished The Wires

Damn good and a great closer episode. I'd put it in my top 5 HBO series

SFU

Sopranos

the Wires

First and Ten

So I couldn't wait on the wife to keep watching Breaking Bad. We watched the first 2 or 3 together, and on subsequent tv nights, I'd offer it up... but she didn't jump.

Is it wrong that I've binge watched a full season of it without her? I probably gave her at least a day of watching other crap (well- maybe a day... I might have just made up the waiting part in my own head) before taking matters into my own hands.

Would get these before serious migraines. Happened from around age 14 to 22. Was pretty terrible. Never knew what caused it but one day they just stopped happening. I like to think they stopped because of the heavy alcohol consumption that began when I turned 21.

I have cluster migraines--4-5 over the course of a month or so, then none for a few years. never had one of these before. it was pretty weird.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Still not sure I understand the concept of having to watch the same shows as your spouse.

"I think I want to start watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. Everybody says it is great."

"I don't want to watch that."

"OK, I guess I won't watch it."

She wants to watch it.

Just on her schedule. My schedule was- binge-watch without sleep until it's done. Like I said, I may or may not have given her a day of watching other things before trying to accomplish this (on the downlow, btw)

Well to be fair, you typically need to dine at places with utensils, table cloths and a menu that's not printed on a chalk board to find it.

Sorry, that was dumb. I was going to go for an old joke but I'm pretty sure Noah had two rabbits on his boat....

Yup, that captures it better than anything I've ever seen before, even right down to it (usually) being slightly off-center in my field of vision and "evolving" the way it does, though it's usually a slower evolution.

When I get them I wish the aura was only that small and confined. I've had some where it seems to mess up my entire field of vision. The worst is when it happens when I'm driving. I have no choice but to pull over.

That was kind of dickish. Really it's a good chance for her to find out if this can be an actual very small business that makes some money. I think the hope is somebody with a bigger small business likes your stuff and starts buying it or something like that. I don't really know but she's pretty excited so I'm rooting for her.

Better than essential oils, right Bentley?

Some I get are smaller than depicted, others are larger. Some more or less maintain their size/shape; others evolve, usually getting bigger than smaller. There seems to be no pattern to it.

Driving can be scary. It also makes reading impossible.
