Can't wait man. Was watching some of ESPN Classic this weekend - they had an Aussie Open Marathon. Caught Moya vs. Sampras from 97'. Hopefully Nadal's struggles throughout the winter are over with.Bender>hi. Aussie Open starts Sunday!
welcome. you're not wearing sneaker shoes, are you?I hear this is a good thread to hang out in and talk about stuff.ullsupchair:Icebreaker - I #### my pants the other day. While driving, sort of. I #### in my pants while driving then when I pulled over to the side of the road it got worse. Then when I got back in my car, I #### my shirt as well. Funny story someone will have to remind me to tell sometime later in this thread. Goodnight.
Don't even know what those are. I have a pair of Nike Skeets though. No idea why they are called Skeets. Seems weird naming a shoe after semen.Nike Skeetswelcome. you're not wearing sneaker shoes, are you?I hear this is a good thread to hang out in and talk about stuff.

Well since I'm up. I was travelling in Maine the other day (don't ask, not interesting) and got the urge to ####. Terrible urge. I plugged in a gas station to my GPS. Nothing for 11 miles. I sharted and immediately pulled over and ran behind some dudes shed, squatted and started ####ting. Problem was that I didn't squat down enough and some of the #### just fell right into my pants (I believe this similar event happened to Artie Lange on heroin, or is at least in his comedy routine). Basically decided to just take my pants off and figure out my next move. didn't want my ####ty ### sitting on my seat so I took off the white t shirt I had on under my coat and put my legs through the arm holes of it and sort of tied it like a towel around my waist. Kinda didn't figure that the neck hole would directly be lined up with my ### anyway and ended up ####ting the shirt and the seat of my car. Residual ####, not new ####. But I still considered it "####ting my shirt". that's all I got...guess it's not that funny after all.I'm pretty sure I could be diagnosed with IBS, but besides the random shart, I have never **** my pants. I don't understand how this is possible. I'd drop my pants in a parking lot if it actually came to that, not that I've ever had to. To me, getting butt naked in public and leaving something for someone else to clean up is far better than having such a mess in my pants.
Nah, don't worry about it krista4. I threw my hand up before reading your plan w/ the others. I'm more of a lurker than a contributor anyway.Hmmm, I think I blew it on the cigar contest. I'll search your posts and find something else you would like, or if I can will pick up some more if we make it to Granada in time tomorrow. Or if SLBob doesn't smoke 'em, I'll divide three ways.Also interested.Interested.krista4 said:We visited this place today, met the very charming owner, and watched how the cigars were made. I purchased a pack of six cigars for a contributor to GMTaN. If interested, please post. If more than one interested, we'll have some sort of contest.

I thought we were done with the crap stories, but I may as well throw this one out there. I used to tend bar and I always had this crummy Sunday call-in shift, where if the place was busy I was supposed to call in at a particular time to see if they needed me. They never did. One weekend I went on a surf trip to Mexico, couldn't find anyone to cover the call-in, and blew it off. Turned out there was some convention in town and they got slammed.I got back from 4 days in Mexico, drinking beer and eating the local cuisine. Get called in to the bar, where they sat me down and explained to me at length that I was being fired. They also had an issue with someone skimming the till, and wanted to know what I knew, if anything. I pretty much knew who was doing it, but wasn't sure, but I did know how they were doing it and I liked the owner so we were having a beer and discussing how they could fix the hole in their system...as soon as the beer hit my gut, all of a sudden the 4 days in Mexico caught up to me. I was still talking to the owner, thinking it would pass but I started sweating and clinching my butt cheeks together. I knew it was going to be close whether I made it to the bathroom or not. I darted through the kitchen to the bathroom and almost got my pants down far enough to avoid the firehose spray that came out, but not quite. I had liquid crap all over the back of my boxers and the waist of my pants had pretty much painted the toilet and part of the bathroom wall in my effort to get to a seated position. Had to abandon my underwear in the bathroom and wear a spare pair of shorts that I found in the changing room, leaving my stained pants in the employee changing room. Collected my check and left.My bladder control is rock solid. I have started a 4 hour drive having to pee badly within 30 minutes of the start of the drive and made it to my destination without a stop.If #2 is the call, I might have to make a stop in minutes, but I've always managed to get that done.How does someone #### their pants? I don't get it.

Kinda didn't figure that the neck hole would directly be lined up with my ### anyway and ended up ####ting the shirt and the seat of my car. Residual ####, not new ####. But I still considered it "####ting my shirt". that's all I got...guess it's not that funny after all.I'm pretty sure I could be diagnosed with IBS, but besides the random shart, I have never **** my pants.

I looked into it a couple of years ago and almost pulled the trigger, but my friend had a conflict.

I was actually talking about GM's individual frames. How do you bowl two strikes in a row and follow them with a gutterball?Did you pay attention to the individual frames? Total rollercoaster.He bowled a 168. Pretty sure his average is around 79, so he must be wasted.Happy Birthday GM! Must be having fun IRL or something.![]()

They need to look into bumper bowling.
Poor kids. Through 7 frames they combined for 26 gutterballs. 
That's the way it should be. Bumper bowling has destroyed kids bowling in my opinion.They need to look into bumper bowling.Poor kids. Through 7 frames they combined for 26 gutterballs.

I make a killer chicken noodle soup, but you may have to pick out a few bones. PM for details.I just got back from the office and I'm at home feeling like hell, still after 3 days. I thought it would be smart to stop at St. Louis Bread and get some chicken noodle soup which I did. I just opened the lid and the ganked me again with mostly broth. I wasn't about to drive back up there so I called and they are sending me a gift card in the mail.
