GM's thread about nothing (35 Viewers)

[Limp Ditka]

I doubt you come out of that encounter thinking that woz has risen to the occasion.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Woz? Jesus...

 

[Limp Ditka]

And if you do meet woz, that's probably something you'll want to shroud in secrecy

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Next time I'm at the local watering hole I'm going to ask if they hold a Wheel o' Canned Goods or maybe a heated game of Produce Rochambeau.

We've been on Envy lately. Hard to beat.

Still waiting at nays, good buddy.

What's with bars holding raffles and other games of chance to give away groceries? Is there some sort of depression going on that I don't know about?

Your face causes depression

 

[Frostillicus]

Hating on meat raffles now? It's gone too far.

Your face gets you 86ed from bars.

Not hating...it's just a weird concept.

It's a fun thing to do while drinking. Don't you love bar trivia? Other than skill vs. chance it's not that different. Nobody's playing a meat raffle or bacon bingo because they can't afford meat or bacon.

Why give away meat? Maybe something like, I dunno, booze?*

*(I'm sure some places have laws against this)

I dunno. It's pretty fun to win steak though.

For those of us that live at room temperature...is the meat you win frozen? Packaged? Do you leave it sitting in the bar stool next to you like a trophy? Put up on the pool table as a wager? Is it a coupon for meat? Walk me through the mechanics. I love the idea...but I don't live in a frozen tundra.

Hai GM. Feel like we are in the same temperate climate, and as a recent recipient of a lot of meat (that's what she said), I am qualified to answer your questions.

We collect the meat (packaged) on the way out the door. Until such time, it is kept in appropriate meat-related conditions.

 

[proninja]

K4, happy to hear about all the meat you've been getting lately

 

[Osaurus]

When are you guys going to vegas?

Early April-ish. Mr krista and I will be there April 4-7, others at slightly different times.

4/2-4/6 for me

 

[kevzilla]

All are welcome at VegasholeTM. In fact, Woz knows more about poker on the Strip than I do. He and OH could go fishing together.

I've been making calls and sending personalized e-mails to clients letting them know about the upcoming changes when I just received an e-mail from a client/GB (since we were 12) that his wife (that I used to fool around with before he met her) had a stroke last week. JFC They already have her parents living with them because they are both eaten up with cancer and can't take of themselves. Oh and her little sister is a heroin addict. ####. I'm going for a walk. :(

ETA

Save it

 

[El Floppo]

Bid on house accepted. Renovation begins in earnest. Considering my inabilities and shortfalls this might be worth blogging up.

if you need to run anything by a so-called architect, lemme know.

Feel like taking a trip?

like with the acids? hmmmm... yes?

That can be arranged when you get here.

I don't remember writing that. ... snowday fever?

I forget- you're in Portland? No trips likely- but I'd very happy to look over anything you're thinking about to bounce or give ideas before you go to a builder or architect out there. they still use builders and architects in Portland, right? you're not resigned to having to diy and put a bird on it?

I'm going to quote the murder trial I was on years ago that involved a teenage kid shooting another teenage kid over a jacket.

"If you're going to step, you best step correct".

you're stepping all incorrect-like.

And thanks to Tanner they come with Listeria now

Granny Smith and Gala apples are being recalled after the presence of Listeria moncytogens were confirmed at an apple processing facility in Shafter, Calif.

Apples should be thrown away if they originate from grower Bidart Bros. of Bakersfield or if the source of origin cannot be determined. Listeriosis can be potentially fatal, including symptoms of fever, severe headache, nausea and a stiff neck, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Next time I'm at the local watering hole I'm going to ask if they hold a Wheel o' Canned Goods or maybe a heated game of Produce Rochambeau.

Wheel! Of! Fish!

STUPID! YOU'RE SO STUPID!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Pretty sure that Friday night the wife and I are heading to The Elbow Room for some Frozen Entrees Hopscotch.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Oddball muscian Ariel Pink filmed his latest video smack dab in the middle of Oildale, CA.

At first glance it might seem NSFW but that old thing? It's really a dude. It's legenday corpse punk Rick Wilder.

Yeah i know they closed it and what he means. I am just giving him crap b/c several years ago we were going to meet up there (I think with another poster too maybe). There was some miscommunication and I showed up but he had cancelled or something but I didn't get the notice in time. No big deal, but I like to bug him about it whenever I can.

On a non-sad, non-death, non-shenanigans but alcohol related note; my buddy has been brought in to run a pretty cool organization.

It's called Wine To Water, and what they do is sell wine and then use the profits to provide clean water to people in Third World countries without it. It's a charitable group so it's not like a portion of the profits go there or something like that, all the profits go there. They dig wells, they install plumbing, they donate filters, etc. Pretty cool group.

So if you ever feel like getting your drink on and feeling morally superior for helping save lives at the same time, hit up WinetoWater.org.

ETA: They are limited in which states they can ship to currently. Although I think you may have more luck if you call and order from them.

 

[ScottNorwood]

I always thought Wade Boggs was a funny name, because you can wade in a bog. :wheelhouse:

My fingernails are getting a little too long. Time to either grind them off, or paint them.

Then that's pretty messed up.

'Learn sign language' they said. 'Be an interpreter' they said. 'It will be rewarding and interesting' they said.

My first day with the new company is Monday. I took Monday off. I don't work the day after Superbowl.
