GM's thread about nothing (30 Viewers)

What did you think of Emma Stone?

I think she has a weird look in the line of Clair Danes. She is pretty and a good actress. But since I'm a chick, her powers don't work on me.

I can't decide if I'm offended or not.

Oh. So you don't fantasize about her being enormous and blue with a tail. As far as avatars go, I liked the platinum blonde better. But Emma does have some sort of "it" factor that is appealing.

 

[shuke]

Keep looking.

 

[shuke]

Going to get an echocardiogram. I wonder how many pounds of hair they're going to have to shave off my chest. I haven't done a good trim in a while.

GL, GB. Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for asking. Everything looks good, and no shaving occured.

I think the call here is to just shave for the fun of it. Pretend you're swimming in the olympics and go totally bare.

Is this a come on?

 

[desert rose]

How do you go about getting a sane roommate? I have three bedrooms and can only sleep in one at a time.

From 2003-2006 I rented out a room in my townhouse. I had about five roommates over that span. None of them were sane.I used everything from roommates.com to craigslist. Be as picky as you can but realize that once they have moved in, they will revert to their worst behavior. The problem is usually that it's your house, not theirs, so they won't have any regard for, well, anything. I never did see any of them clean once save their laundry.There's no way I'd ever have a roommate again. Ever.Good luck, you'll need it.

Well, that sounds rather awful. I thought it might be fun to have the company and it would be an easy way to pick up an extra 3 or 4 bills a month and pay down the mortgage faster.

You'll loathe the company, in general.The extra cash is nice, but it's not worth the misery of having to deal with someone living in your space. All of my roommates were guys, so maybe girls are better, but somehow I doubt it.

 

[desert rose]

Can I stop picturing shuke's shaved chest or not? I hope you're still alive, GB.DR, I don't know. I think I'm going to try to pick-up a roommate when I move, but only if I'm still severely broke. There's hope on that front, but if I don't move quickly enough, that fact will make it more difficult to move. Explaining any of this in more detail might be more difficult than the Xmas present experiment.

Move already! I'm excited for you. It will be awesome to live by the water. Are you bogged down with fixing up the house?

Craigslist and screen carefully.

Easy A tomorrow... on to 'The Shouting Men'

Plot Summary for

The Shouting Men(2010)

Lowly Gillingham Football Club are drawn against Premiership giants Newcastle United in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. A small group of 'Gills' fans decide to make the most of their 'game of a lifetime' by turning the journey north into a weekend away. On the eve of departure one of the group receives a visit from Terry, a man with no legs in a wheelchair, claiming he can get them a free minibus and free diesel. In return, all they have to do is take him with them!

You can do it! One of the best roommates I've ever had was pantagrapher. I know this will shock most but he and I got along famously.

 

[kevzilla]

I swear to baby Jebus that St. Louis BOB looks exactly like Trent Dilfer. I"m watching Sportscenter and I'm looking at Dilfer, and all i see is SLB. And granted I been drinking tonight (went to Disney on Ice today with little 'Zooks this afternoon... you'd be drinking now too) but I kinda think they are the same person. Seriously, I want to see DNA testing done on Maury Po##### about this. Whenever Difer is on espn, SLB is conveniently NOT posting in the FFA. Coincidence....... I think not. If i had the inspiration or soberness, I'd post a pic of both them side by each.

Whenever I hear the bolded, I have an image of Uncle Walt in a coffin-sized block of ice, pushed out from behind a curtain, and slowly gliding under a spotlight until it thuds against the far end of the rink. Then an announcer says "Disney on Ice, everybody! Goodnight!"

Just saw our GB SLB on Sportscenter praising Hasselbeck's performance today.

J E T S JETS JETS JETS



Woo Hoo

Almost 5 AM and still ecstatic

Also wasted

Glad you liked Winter;s Bone, Charv

IMO the best movie I saw all year

Wow...would not have guessed that Charv would have liked Garden State

He must be a sucker for the Shins

We're supposed to get another winter storm here tomorrow night and Monday. I'm hoping for a power outage for half the state so Auburn fans can't watch Oregon whip that ### on Monday night. I have a nice sized fireplace, firewood, food in the freezer, and an immense hatred for those cow humpers.Roll Ducks Roll.

Prepare to be disappointed, Mullet McSugartits.

 

[Tiger Fan]

I just realized I would've won my fantasy leagues if I would've drafted Vick in the 12th rounds.

hmm

I think you missed my point.

I think I was drinking that night...so I probably wasn't processing much

Would be hilarious.Have Auburn - parlayed with the under though

 

[Tiger Fan]

I found a Cajun butcher here in Birmingham a while back. They did a crappy job of advertising because I only found them a couple of months ago. The boudin wasn't great, but it was fresh and a lot better than anything else I can get here. I'm pretty sure I could eat boudin every day of my life. I thought about not buying the etouffee they had there because my own is pretty good. Apparently I need to change my recipe a little because theirs was frozen and better than mine.

huge Boudin fan here Next time you go to the grocery store, ask your butcher if they can carry it. I would imagine it wouldn't be too hard to find in Bham

[Early_10]

It's been almost a week since I came out of the closet to my parents. It's amazing what being truly free can do to you in so many ways. I've also noticed that I'm drinking WAY LESS than before. Only had one beer last night. I think it's because I no longer have that heavy burden on my shoulders.

If you can't be honest with your parents, who can you be? Thats great for you, glad you were finally ready. I'm sure they'll deal fine with it, it doesn't change who you are to them.

While not quite the same, male tenants are terrible and female tenants are much better. Roommates must carry some of the same traits. Rosey, set clear boundaries of what's your space and whats "community" space. And consider a damage deposit. Do you have 2 bathrooms? That would make things a little easier in terms of not having to deal with sharing the shower or cleaning the bathroom in general. Just a thought. When I interview tenants (where we lived upstairs so had to deal with living with the tenants to a degree) I'd interview prospects for a week or more before deciding on who I liked. Take names and get back to them. Don't ever decide on the spot.

[St. Louis Bob]

Oh holy ####. Mrs. SLB's boss woke up to find her husband dead back in October 2009. Massive heart attack. She woke up this morning to find her boyfriend laying next to her in bed, dead. That poor women.

I'd say that they either had some kind of congenital defect or she's one hell of a lover.

WELL played.When Mrs. SLB told me I said man she must be awesome in bed. Mrs. SLB started laughing, then abruptly stopped, scowled and said you seriously aren't right.

[krista4]

Arrived in Nicaragua yesterday and surprised Mr. krista4 by having arranged for us to go to the Granada v. Managua baseball game.

Holy ####, is baseball in Nicaragua interesting and fun. Some highlights:

-There's constant wagering in the stands, among strangers often several rows or sections apart. Guys standing up holding up five or three fingers, yelling at the guy ten rows behind them, and then exchanging money after every play.

-This 70-year-old guy comes out and dances at each half inning. Sometimes he does The Worm.

-Instead of hot dogs and giant pretzels, the food consisted of stuff more like this, where you could get sweet and fried plantains topped with slaw, marinated pork and the best chicken I've ever had, or fried and mashed yucca topped with slaw and chichirones, or you could get this woman to come to your seat, set up a little table, and serve you a cone of tortilla, cheese, pickled onions, hot sauce, and cream.

-These two teams are long-time rivals, and each time one team scored the fans of the other threw stuff on the field. The managers, players, and umpires got into several fights--the Tiburones manager with the giant belly did a particularly good job of bumping the umpires. Also, the umpires can fine the managers and coaches right on the spot, as they did in this game by just pointing at them and holding up a number of fingers (one of the coaches was fined 500 cordobas). It seemed like part WWE, part minor-league hockey.

-The best seats in the house cost us about $1.75 per ticket. Actually I guess these guys really had the best seats in the house, where they also occasionally decided to shoot off fireworks.

-More dancing in the stands than dancing in a Dancing on the Ceiling video, including one fat guy who apparently does it every game with several people shining green laser pointers on him.

-Not only is smoking allowed in the stands, but a vendor comes through selling cigarettes, along with, among other things, toy guns, blowing bubbles, small beach balls, gum, and Sponge-Bob glowsticks.

-At least two dogs wandering the stands, and at least one dog on the field. Also a large number of urchins coming through picking up beer cans for resale.

-Lots and lots of armed guards. Nicaragua is the safest country in Central America, so the armed guards were surprising. Given the amount of drinking and fighting that was going on, I suppose they're necessary.

My GB, the bookie, had a little incident with his daughter New Years Day. She was with my cousin's daughter, still drinking at 11:00 am at a bar. She called my GB to bring her home because she couldn't drive. So he goes to the bar to pick her up, mad as hell, and they get into a fight in the parking lot. She threatens him that if he isn't nicer, "you're going to be mad when the UPS truck is out front moving me out of the house".

He's moving her out today.

The constant wagering is something that American baseball could take a lesson from.

Standard fare when we go to a game. At the beggining of the game, everybody puts a dollar in a cup. If the batter gets a single, you get a dollar, a double two, triple three, HR gets you the whole cup and everybody re-antis. If he gets an out you owe a dollar, hits into a DB you owe two. You pass the cup with each player.ETA Errors are a push.The Rams have been so bad the last 5 years we bet pretty much every play. One guy can propose a bet ex: I'll give you 10-1 they throw an INT here and it gets run back for a TD. Then another guy can either counter, ex: give me 12-1, or make the person that proposes the be, take the bet.
