Email received this afternoon from my boss

I have been approached a couple times already about Wednesday morning if we get hit hard with snow. Do not waste any time watching the news in the morning to see if school is out for OurCompany, it will not be because there are no such things as snow days in the adult world. We already have a two day warning that snow is coming, and that means the plows will be out and the roads will be fine. If people need extra time to get out of their driveways that's ok but the weather is not going to be an acceptable excuse to take the day off

Boss has yet to show up.4 people out of 32 are here.

Can't be too bad if you're taking pics while driving.

[guest 54788]

so what would be the worst square to have? the 2-2?

 

[charvik]

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

How can I find out what cellphone works up in the northern part of Minnesota on the border with Canada? My sister's house burned to the ground Saturday, and the only phone they have is her husband's work cell. I want to send her one, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Sorry to hear that. Is this near the Boundry Waters? I've been up to Gun Flint Lake twice and the people up there had problems with fires a few years ago. Nicest people in the world.

I know absolutely nothing about the area, except it might as well be Canada. She's near Lake of the Woods.

Good walleye fishing.

Pretty sure AT&T works near LotW.I know it works in and around International Falls, which is a couple of hours east. I think I recall it working last time I was there.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Any good nuggets in here from the past week that I may have missed?

The answer is no. And, with respect to you Shuke, I detest your question.This is a very complicated matter with a long history behind it. There is a tendency among FBGs to want to know the "nuggets" for every thread, and it usually leads to rash opinions and rash decisions made by our leaders under pressure.I'm sure some people here will try to comply with your request and they will come up with a few sentences which seem to sum up the matter, but they won't. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on GM's Thread About Nothing and with each hour I am learning that I didn't know anything. I advise you to ignore the "nuggets" and spend some real time examining this issue if you want to form a reasonable opinion about it.

Well, I did have to put my beer down

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I haven't had a beer in three days. Think I'm going to load up on some $3/six pack Walgreen's brand beer tomorrow.

I need a review on this.

How do I put someone on ignore? I've never done it and can't seem to find a button or anything. I can't read the gambling thread anymore without having to sift through one ####### discussing the 75 props he's betting. Really? You need a new post every time you bet on "first TD will be less than 1.5 yards"?

Watching Bachelor with Madison's comments.

This Shawntel date is... awkward.

Is that thread down? I'm afraid to discuss that show in here. :couch:

Looks like it. Emily has issues.

Yeah, she does, but ABC is a real **** for putting them in that spot...I mean, come on.

The entire premise for the show is an absolute joke.

[Dr. Watson]

Is it normal for a girl to keep a prom picture from almost 21 years ago?

Keep? I'd say that's okay. Framed on the mantle? You've got a problem.

What if she randomly posts it on your Facebook page?

School is cancelled for the day, because of our 1 inch of snow blizzard, so I'm at home. The electricity is out. My gas heat won't work because I guess it has an electric switch. But I'm drinking bloody Marys with the Svedka I finally picked up.

[mr. furley]

if a fire were smoldering in the walls of my house what would it smell like? serious question.

I'm guessing it would be wires, so maybe burning plastic?

what if the only smell is a noticeable but not strong smell like you just turned the heat on full blast for the first time this year... and it's confined only to a single doorway in your home?not either side of the doorway. just the doorway. and the wood smells.i'm at a ####ing loss here.. i need to figure this out before my wife hemmoraghes (sp?) any more of my money trying to fix it by buying smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.

Stay a step ahead of the game and just burn the house down.

Maybe buying trim at the fire sale wasn't a great idea...

A headhunter called me today about a job in Chicago. It's a great job, but I have to think that this is not the ideal day to try to get people to consider moving to Chicago.

Also, I just spent $650 on beer. Just beer. At freakin' Costco.

Good point. Could have been worse. Just Yuengling, Corona and Dos Equis in keeping with our themes.

 

[RudiStein]

Totally random things kids have told me today. And by random I mean both strange and totally out of the blue. This has all been in the last 2 hours.

Girl who looks like this only not as cute comes up to me after class:

Velma: Mr. Stein? I have 3 things I'm going to write about (Note: I have no idea what she's talking about. I haven't assigned any writing projects).

Me: Ummm...oh, yeah?

Velma: Yeah. Two are historical and one isn't. One is about when people lived in slave times. Another one is about a girl who has to save her family farm. The other one is about if unicorns were real.

Me: Cool.

Kid who looks like a half-Hispanic version of this guy comes up to my desk while everyone else is reading.

Flaco: My mom ran a marathon.

Me: Wow...that's, um, great.

10 seconds of us just sort of looking at each other.

Me: OK then. Why don't you get back to reading the section. It needs to be done today.

Then he left.

Eddie Deezen look-a-like walks up to me on his way to lunch.

Eddie: Mr. Stein, I'm going to buy a t-shirt that says 'Kung Fu action Jesus is my homeboy'.

Me: That's great. Enjoy your popcorn chicken.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day.

Mating takes place in the water and can be rough, the male biting the female on the muzzle – which often leaves scars on the nose – and sometimes holding her head under water.[8][60]

That's it. Take it, you dirty little otter slut.

I thought the muzzle was something else. I guess that's why she boxed my ears with her knees.

Well it's real to me, damn it.Also, I still think a Porno based off the Bachelor format would be great. An interactive DVD Porno with lots of hot chicks where you can create yourself as the Bachelor. Kind of like Liesure Suit Larry, but better.

P and S, this idea is already trademarked, so don't even try to steal it.
