GM's thread about nothing (49 Viewers)

[Sammy3469]

The Spin Doctors were actually good before they blew up...of course they also had the best drugs as well...the two may or may not be related.

Edit: before they hit it big they did the East Coast fraternity circuit with Blues TRaveler....guys in school from the 89-91 time period have some stories...at one point Popper was so high, he crapped himself passed out. Actually, actually true.

This song sucks but it's also great. they gave bartenders an easy way to let people know its time to get lost, and gave the drunks who were still there waiting to hook up a quick reminder that this is their last chance to find someone before they go home and watch skinemax and wonder what happened to their lives. I would bet good money that more people have been laid because of this crappy song than any Barry white or john mayer or whatever those kids listen to.

Now hold up....I slayed a lotta assssss to Barry White in college. You offering odds?

Odds that pickles lets you get away with saying "slayed a lotta asssss"? Not good.

It's a Barry White line from his seminal hit; " Ooooooooooo, mmmmmmmmmmmm"

Catchy when it came out, though bland and generic. But by the time radio saturated our souls with it, it became an immediate race to turn the station/channel.

Darrius Rucker comes across as a cool guy on the DP Show. Comfortable in his own skin. #NoRacist

Hootie seem like ok guys. My only issue with them is that their music is terrible.

Never really dug their style.

I will say (sort of a gay confession) that their version of "Goodbye Girl" is pretty awesome.

You know whose music isn't terrible? Cheap Trick.

Was Edwin McCain the one that sang "I'll be"?

If so, tell him he's a whiny dooshnozzle and needs to be beaten severely for unleashing that crap upon the world.

Did a wedding today where the bride walked down the aisle to her cousin playing guitar/singing some Keith Urban POS.

Shocking.

It's pretty much de rigueur here to walk down the aisle to some bull#### modern country song.

 

[krista4]

I'd never heard of Edwin McCain, but looked him up and see he recorded for the same label and with the same producer as Matchbox Twenty, which reminded me that that band should have been mentioned in the earlier conversation.

I don't know; it seems so obvious now.

Matchbox 20's first album ruled.

I think we left off Creed, too. That was egregious.

Neck punch for you.

spin doctors were always horrible.

I changed my fee agreements to add a $500 charge for meetings outside of regular business hours, which is waived if I attend by telephone or videoconference. Client today asked to confirm that regular business hours meant until 9 pm. I explained that I am a lawyer, not target.

 

[Abraham]

Our new junior attorney asked me why I wear a tie to work. "Do you think that is going to make you more successful?" I replied, "I don't know doug, I'm already pretty successful" which made our gc laugh at Doug.

Lawyers are the best.

Just moved all my mils crap...sad day

Sorry, bell.

MIL from my 1st marriage died in my house. THE oddest thing happened the night she passed. We had a Cocker Spaniel that was dumb as a box of rocks and mean as hell on top of it. My wife and I were asleep and, somewhere in the middle of the night, that damned dog started going nuts - kind of growling and spinning in circles on the bed. It wasn't a minute later that the Hospice nurse who was watching MIL knocked on the door saying MIL was gone. The dog started whining - something he never did, ever. Sent chills up my spine.

I'm not a big believer in this stuff, but stories like this give me the chills and make me wonder.

Best part of that vomit is when he gets to the line; "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" and adds a satisfied, smug "yeah!" as if he just penned a line in a Shaksperean masterpiece. What a homo.

I think it's a great line.

On a slightly different subject, but chilling, I've had a couple of experiences that made me wonder.

The first was when grandma died. The evening of her burial, a few of us fam members were in her room going down memory lane. I was wondering if she really was in a better place and praying she was when all of the sudden the entire room shook. I thought the window was going to break. We looked for any possible explanation for this (earthquake/truck/train/sudden storm... ANYTHING???) and nothing. Went out to the living room and no one out there felt a thing! WTF???

Second was when one of my bff's died last March. The night of her death when I was really having a hard time when out of nowhere came a big wind that lasted a good 20 minutes. It knocked over a tree on a neighbor's place not far from us. It was not in any weather forecast and was deemed very unusual and unexpected.

Makes me believe more that there is more to the afterlife than some may think.

Any time I wear a tie to a PR/marketing association event, people assume I'm a lawyer. Austin has a pretty low standard for dress code.

Which reminds me, Josh Baer was in a full on suit at this deal we went to last night. First time I've seen him not in a t-shirt I think.
