GM's thread about nothing (14 Viewers)

So my 8 year old has always been a bit of a mommas boy but has shown flashes of toughness in lacrosse. This year he told us he wanted to play football, the wife and I cringed but would never deny him. My 13 year old is basically one of the best players in the program and has been for a few years, so my youngest was feeling like he had to fill those shoes. Well after a week of conditioning and a week of hitting, my 8 year old has been named the teams starting middle linebacker :proud: He is way better than his brother was at the same age :thumbup:

I think the younger siblings benefit from playing against the older siblings all their lives. My 7 yr old plays hockey with his 16 year old brother all the time. When he steps on the ice against 7 yr olds, he thinks he's king...and well, he is. :yawn:

So she's running around grabbing everything she can get her hands on, screaming "The table! The table!" Like she is Tori Spelling in a lifetime movie and the table is her child, and I am yelling at her to calm down, and all this yelling causes our daughter Abby to freak out as well. So I stop participating in Operation Salvage to calm Abby down, which, like MOP and pacifism, only enrages the wife further, and she starts actively yelling at me to help with the table and slamming things around. Naturally one of the things she is slamming is the aforementioned piece of glass, which shatters and then stabs her in her in the right ring finger and slicing it down to a "clearly going to need stitches" level.

Congrats, TF. We tried IVF a couple of times before we adopted our boys. Didn't work out for us but I know how much it can suck at times. Glad you had success with it. ;)

I'm posting from the urgent care clinic, because my wife (who is 8.75 months pregnant and currently a raving lunatic, if I haven't already mentioned that) sliced her finger open on a broken piece of glass.

It happened towards the end of a nice dinner when our 2.5 year old daughter decided she wanted to be a ghost. So she grabbed the table cloth and pulled it over her head, spilling everything on that end of table including a newly full glass of water.

No big deal, except the wife recently purchased an antique, wooden table that just so happened not to be varnished or sealed or whatever it is that means the wood won't die upon contact from water. Also, despite talking about getting a water proof tablecloth for the past month, that never actually occurred. As such, the crazy lady currently inhabiting my wife's body decides this is the worst thing that could ever happen and completely loses it.

Also, I should mention she has all kinds of crafty stuff all over a corner of the table, crafty stuff that I would later find out entailed at least one piece of highly breakable, and razor sharp, glass.

So she's running around grabbing everything she can get her hands on, screaming "The table! The table!" Like she is Tori Spelling in a lifetime movie and the table is her child, and I am yelling at her to calm down, and all this yelling causes our daughter Abby to freak out as well. So I stop participating in Operation Salvage to calm Abby down, which, like MOP and pacifism, only enrages the wife further, and she starts actively yelling at me to help with the table and slamming things around. Naturally one of the things she is slamming is the aforementioned piece of glass, which shatters and then stabs her in her in the right ring finger and slicing it down to a "clearly going to need stitches" level.

So we all pile in my wifes car to seek medical attention, her sobbing in pain, Abby sobbing in terror, and what do I see but the "fill tank soon light, because my wife didn't bother to fill the tank after it came on earlier today.

Nonetheless we made it, and wife is getting attended to while I sit in the waiting room with a 2 year old who didn't get a full dinner, only took a half hour nap today (usual = 1.5 to 2 hours), and has already passed her bed time.

She is currently switching off between throwing the Field & Stream and Fit Pregnancy magazines around, yelling at the fish in the aquarium, and climbing on the tables and chairs.

I could really use a beer.

The whole post sounds like a sitcom episode.The only way this story could have been better is if she was so upset she went into labour and then when you went to the hospital Robin Williams had to deliver the baby.

 
So this is neither remotely interesting nor funny, but I thought I'd share anyway. Couldn't sleep last night. Laying in bed, for some reason the stealth bomber popped into my head and all I could think about is W(ho)TF is in charge of spending billions of dollars to make Wonderwoman's jet?

about a month ago I knocked bumpers w/ another car in the lot at work as I was pulling into a tight space, left some marks and popped the other car's bumper alittle bit off one of it's hinges, no structural damage to the bumper itself. No witnesses but I left a note. Had not heard anythnig until just now - ####er wants $800 to replace the entire bumper and have some scratches around the gas tank repainted. :goodposting:

:shrug: :shock: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Love the MOP/Pacifism line. Good stuff. :confused:
 
Sheriff just came into the office i'm working at today. They need video from the security camera mounted on the outside wall of the office. There is a huge hispanic bar/club across the street and somebody was murdered out front Friday night. Shot in the head from about 15 feet. Usual gang stuff the sheriff says!!

I pulled the video for him but it's pretty grainy and dark. It was kinda weird searching through the tape hoping to see something. Nothing really to see until just before midnight when people start fleeing to their cars and running down the street!!

Not what i expected to be doing today!!

Whoa...
 
I've been running a fever for 4 days now. Came home Friday night feeling like crap so went to bed early. Saturday was my 40th birthday party so I spent the day BBQing, mowing the lawn, cleaning up the man cave and then drinking a ridiculous amount of alcohol. Sunday was my actual birthday so even though I was really feeling like crap, I was not about to let my friends off the hook from buying me a round of golf. Come into the work week and I can't really take time off because I'm shutting down one business and helping another startup so I've still been pushing it.

What I'm wondering is, did somebody forget to tell me that once you turn 40 you automatically just feel like crap all the time or should I start thinking about going to the doctor?

Don't worry, when the CSI experts get that tape they can zoom in and everything will be crystal clear. They will be able to get license plates from the reflections in other car windows, and probably get the a picture of the shooter in the reflection off someone's glasses.
 
I feel like I've been remiss

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Congratulations!

That video is going viral for sure.

Do you work in security or own the place or did this just get foisted on you?

Happy birthday!

 
Dealer just called. They are going to have to keep my car overnight. He asked if that was going to be a problem and I think I startled him by belting out a "HELL NO".

This thing has a 7th gear......WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

:) I just drove through a flash thunderstorm and noticed an accident on the other side of the highway. As I got closer there was a motorcycle wedged underneath a pick up truck. It was the kind of storm where you put the wipers on high and can still barely see. The accident was under and overpass so I'm guessing the bike stopped to ride the storm out and the truck didn't see him. Poor *******. :X

Ooooof. Reason #378,890,123 why I'll never ride a motorcycle.Sidenote: Blind lady who was hit by the pick-up truck is going to live. Broken pelvis and smashed up hips, but she'll live to fight another day.

1. Get some :rolleyes: of bikini girls laying on top of it w/o your wife finding out.2. Post here.3. ?4. Profit.
 
I'm really having trouble with a certain culture recently:

1) Got off the subway, and they're already piling in before I get out. I barked "Move!" at them, and they seemed nonplussed. Honestly, I realize that this is a pretty widespread thing amongst people who were born in Asia, but doesn't our culture, not to mention spatial logic, dictate that everyone gets off before anyone gets in?

2) There's a drive in town to collect any old shoes for a charity that sends them over to Africa. You put them in a bag, leave them on a curb, and someone comes to pick them up. So I'm out for a walk yesterday evening with the baby, and I see an Asian woman going through a bag of shoes that have been left out on the curb. My jaw goes slack, and I was ready to say something, but she got up and moved on.

I honestly feel like I'm rosing my mind over here.

Like fat chicks, they're fun to ride but you don't want your friends to see you on them because they have AIDS.

3) Speaking of drive.....
 
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says "Why the long face?"

The horse replies "It's because I'm an alcoholic and it's ruining my life and destroying my family."

Truck, I used to deal with the same thing on Muni and Bart. I feel you. Pissed me off to no end. I think what got me over my mental hurdle of being rude to these people was the night we crawled home from Tradr Sam's and I saw a lady running down the street with the flowers we had just planted that day.BTW. I found myself agreeing with Lhucks in the unemployment thread. May God have mercy on my soul.

I don't deal with subways too often unless I'm getting a sandwich, but these same morons use elevators too. I haven't seen any cultural lines of stupidity here though. It's especially fun on the first floor with a full elevator trying to unload. If you don't get off, they can't get on.I might have been able to make that last line more sexual, but drew a blank. Sorry.Edit: I just stand there most of the time, blocking the door. They finally figure out there's no chance for a victory.

So I need to plan my brother's bachelor party, Sep or Oct. I wanted to do Montreal, he wants something adventurous, ie out in nature.

I think we are gonna rent a cabin in NH, do a good hike up Mt Washington on Sat, get back to the cabin around 5PM Sat nite. I would like to hire a stripper to come over... How the hell do I find a stripper out there? Google is not my friend so far

OK, found this

http://www.nhstripper.com/new-hampshire-strippers.html

No nudies, so no worries clicking unless the boss is there. So far I am leaning to the two 'ianna's. No idea what the price is gonna be here...figure it's gotta be $500 min or they ain't going anywhere
