GM's thread about nothing (18 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

Mrs. SLB's back is in really bad shape and I fear she may finally have to get really invasive kick me in the balls surgery. Because of this, things have been pretty tricky when it comes to her fulfilling her carnal duties.

In a completely unrelated story, we met last Thursday with the team of people assigned to helping Cal and with seven members, it is a team. One gal (who just might be my type at around 30, slender, cute & blond) accidentally flirted with me out loud that earned her a few uncomfortable looks from around the room and made my loins happy. The rest of the meeting she tried to avoid eye contact with me while she twirled her hair and looked at the ceiling.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I am sending SLB, and SLB only, the post that I almost made but nixed.

Worth the gamble IMO.

Yeah don't bother telling the rest of us what book you guys are talking about.

Here's where I would have made a comment that would've gotten me some time off. I need to keep my GMTAN compendium thread udpated.

Make sure you give this thread a review of the Scarlett Johanson CD I sent you.

Will listen to it this afternoon.I'm seriously actually excited for several things in this box. I'm even going to use the toothbrush.

Did I send you You Got Served 3 or was that Shammy?

Good news is, I have a pulse. Bad news? I don't think I have a liver anymore.

I need a good, solid bet to play in the next day or two. Has to be an underdog, though. One of my online accounts got decimated by the Saints a couple of weekends ago and I'm down to $10.87. The minimum bet is $10, but the catch is that the minimum "to win" has to be at least $10.

So, gents, keep your radar sharp and let me know if you see a diamond in the rough.

Specifically, why is the line on the UConn future only down to 28/1? Thought we should be seeing it at 10/1 or something.

Night was going smoothly, husband cooks dinner, I'm on my second glass of wine, etc. An hour ago, my cell phone rings with a local number. We have our house listed, so I'm going against normal protocols and answering any call that comes in.

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hi... my name is Heather, and I live across the canal from you.

Me: Hi, Heather!

Heather: Sweetie, your dock is floating away.



We race through the yard to the water and sure enough, thar she blows, about 20 yards from her resting place. While we didn't get much rain at our house, apparently the water levels are super high and the dock's iron loops rose above the pillars around which they normally rest.

Some quick thinking got us to get out our kayak and send Mr. YSR out in it to loop an electrical cord (couldn't find rope on such short notice) through the loops so we could rein her back in. We then spent the next 45 minutes affixing pieces of 2x4 to the tops of the pillars to make them taller.

Worth mentioning that I'm extremely sensitive to the no-see-ums in our backyard, especially down at the waterfront, and will be sure to have no fewer than 60 bites in the morning. I get 20 or so just while passing through that area quickly on the mower.

So, GMTAN, back to .

Sorry, doing some hippling today......What does no-see-ums mean?

I think it is one of those quaint Southern terms for "black person".

Jesus.

My First World Problem Of The Day:

My wife informs me that our 7 YO son wants to play baseball. Of course my first reaction is overwhelming joy. These are the moments you daydream about as a father. The deadline to sign up is today. No problem, I will call and get it taken care of.

Then my doubt starts to creep in. This group is for ages 3-8.

also WTF? 3 year olds can't play freaking baseball.

Good catch. My son was in a 5-6 year old T-Ball league this year, but he was only four. The coach liked him so he let him stay, but he was CLEARLY out of his league. He had fun, and got to learn a bit about the game, but he was clearly the team's "little brother" player.

Andre Drummond is a 6'11", 275 lb. (7'5" wingspan) basketball player from Connecticut, who has been touted as various composites of Shawn Kemp, Dwight Howard, Jesus Christ and Kevin Garnett. He's huge, athletic, amazing defensive potential, can supposedly play outside. Negatives are that he can't shoot FT's and he coasts sometimes. He was widely believed to be waiting for 2012 to go to college, or possibly straight to the pros after a year of prep school. A couple weeks ago he made an announcement that he was switching prep schools, and that he'd cut his list to 5 schools (UConn, UK, JAA-ville, Chinese punchers and someone else) for 2012. Then this Friday he surprise-announced that he was coming to UConn. UConn is full as far as scholarships go, but they're having a kid nobody really knows (Michael Bradley) go off scholarship for at least a year, because he qualifies for in-state tuition and financial aid. There may be some clearinghouse issues re: the prep school he went to and if he got enough credits, but the plan is for him to play this year. Depending on how the NBA CBA shakes out (specifically, if they institute a 2 or 3 years in college rule), he may be at Connecticut beyond this year.Frankly, they were better than 30-1 before this. But now the word is out and the lines are starting to drop accordingly. UCONN is now regarded as a Top 4 team (Ohio St., Kentucky, North Carolina) and likely one of the best defensive teams in the nation. Lamb, Smith and Oriakhi also have 7'+ wingspans.

You're coming out of a rough relationship and I get that. We work together, I get that. I just know that I'm really happy when I'm with youSo no, I don't Judy Wang in your pantsS: Lol I meant just want in my pantsD: I knowThat was a joke, hahaS: Oh okD: Did you see everything else I texted you?S: It's bc ur falling in loveYea I saw it it was really sweet and made me smileD: Yeah, so there you go...D: What do you want from meS: What do you want from me firstD: Asked you firstS: PleaseeD: I want everything from youS: And what if that's what I wantD: Then it's yoursS: MmmhmmmD: You can trust me

Wait...what is my drunk ### missing...I'm the only one who thinks this exchange is idiotic?

When does texting-to-hook-up not sound stupid? It's ontological, man. The tech & situation forces you to sound like a couple teens with downs syndrome playing the leads in a romantic comedy. Who cares? There's sex on the line. The whole point is to dissolve this idiot talk into even dumber o-faced grunts and groans.There's probably a dissertation out there on this. "The closer you come to sex, to dumber language becomes until you orgasm and sound like a pissed off baby."I'm just surprised Ren had the balls to post it here.

Dropping wife/kids at airport tomorrow. She's taking them to Michigan with her for a week. Pretty ambitious gal, this one. I'll be driving up to Seattle as soon as they are out of the car for my draft on Sunday. Staying with my little brother from fraternity days at his lovely Seattle home (tremendous views of Ranier, City Skyline, Space Needle, Olympic Mts). One of my oldest friends from Dallas is flying up for a wedding this weekend, so he'll be joining us for the draft and will hang out with us on Sunday night. Haven't seen this guy since my FIRST wedding in 2001. Looking very forward to this.

Took Monday off work in anticipation of a zombie like state that morning and though I mentioned something about coming in around noon (assuming an early wake up/drive back to Portland) there's about a 1% chance I actually come in.

Will fly out to Detroit on Wednesday to meet up with wife/kids. Kids don't know I'm coming, so it'll be a pretty cool surprise when I show up. They've been begging me all summer to buy a ticket and meet them out there.

Should be an awesome final 10 days of summer...one of the best ones I can remember.

Wife #2 taking your kids to see her family.That is unbelievable (in a really awesome cool kinda way).

Hey, haven't kept up with GMTAN...but is Coop feeling better?

Oh, yeah, Coop recovers from illness in a hurry. A day after the meds kicked in, he was back at it. Thanks for asking, GB.

As for the wife, yeah...she's one of a kind. Cannot believe how lucky I got with her. AND her family. They are tremendous. Am kinda looking at trading my family in for theirs at the moment.

I think I really want to move to the Bay area. Other than LHUCKS, where's the downside?

You'll probably miss the lake effect snow you've grown used to your whole life.On the other hand, you'll get a kick out of the weather when you're sunny and 75 while your buddy three neighborhoods over is 61 and foggy.Seriously, SF is the most beautiful city in the world. Awesome vistas, great food, kick ### culture and arts scene, hot wimmenz. It's the whole package.

Agree with all of this, but I couldn't afford to be a hobo in San Francisco.
