One time when I was Madison we went to this pizza joint and got pizza and when they called our name we went up to get it and when we came back there was this stupid kid sitting on our coats eating his own pizza and i told him to move and he didn't and then i said move and he didn't and then i said if you don't move i'm going to slap that pizza out of your ####### mouth and then he went to take another bite so I smacked him across the face and the pizza went flying into the wall and it was funny and he got up and before he could say anything i grabbed him around teh collar and slammed him into the wall but then the owner workers grabbed me and my friends and said you're outta here and we said not without our pizza and they said you aren't getting your pizza and so we said we aren't leaving without our pizza so then they gave it to us and we took it in the cab and gave a slice to the cabby and then ate the rest in the hotel and also the Gophers won.

In our ministry we strive to live the mission of the Archdiocese by providing opportunities for strengthening and living out the faith by supporting the vocation of marriage. The office is committed to supporting engaged couples by providing sacramental preparation for marriage.As with all of the sacraments, preparation is essential if the sacrament is to have its full meaning and effect. The Engaged Enrichment Program provides the opportunity for engaged couples to explore the meaning of a committed sacramental relationship and to explore strengths and limitations in a caring manner to solidify and deepen the future marriage relationship.

Are you Catholic? Be ready for a lot of pushing the "Rhythm Method." lol

Yes. And seriously, I think it was 3 hours of what they're now calling "Natural Family Planning"If I never hear "cervical secretions" ever again in my life, I will die a happy man.
 
:lmao: We gave the McDonalds away to a 52 year old Janitor my mom taught to read. He adopted his brother's two teenage kids after his brother was shot. Figured they'd enjoy it much more than this tub of fat.

 
I've worked all but a handful of hours since Thursday at 4 a.m., and now that I'm off for the weekend, what's the first thing I do? Read the GM thread. :hifive:

Non cool club kids waiting to hear about marching band stuff :hifive:
Click to expand...
I thought you were part of the cool club. :lmao: I've been working 24/7 since then ( :lmao: ) so my postings are rare right now.One of the many disasters in the 2-3 days leading up to the party was that the marching band found out they couldn't use their school's instruments. Not a big deal for, say, a tuba player who probably has his own, but most people don't have a marching band drum kit. We ended up instead borrowing regular drum kits from a couple of friends. But that meant the drummer was stationary, meaning it wasn't a good idea for the rest of the band to wander too far off either. So all the activity took place on one floor of the house rather than their marching up and down the stairs. :( Also they couldn't use the name of their marching band (University of Memphis "Mighty Sound of the South") or they would get in trouble, nor could they wear their uniforms. So they were outfitted in U. Memphis gear but not the good stuff.All that is the negative, but overwhelmingly it was positive. Despite the fact that a bunch of 19-year-olds were hanging out in our house during the first half (they came early to get the lay of the land and plan their attack), no one knew what was coming, and people FLIPPED OUT over it. The band started a little shaky on their version of Eye of the Tiger but picked up steam and even did encores because people were enjoying it so much. And the kids also actually had a fantastic time and kept telling me they wanted me to plan their parties for them. We started the entertainment with pre-game show by our friend Eric whom we flew in from Chicago. He has an odd but very pleasing manner of performing, and people loved it. We also had a squares game where you didn't have to buy in and got really good prizes that we bought. Also did a game where people pulled a name before the game and won Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Green Bay-themed prizes based on whether that person (or D/ST or "field") scored first in each quarter with the very large grand prize going to whoever had the MVP (I only had 15 different possibilities so had to quadruple up). In addition we had a huge supply of terrible towels that were put to good use (the Green Bay stuff didn't arrive and we didn't bother).Mr. krista made a ridiculous meal that had everyone going back three and four times. I know he posted his menu earlier. It might not sound like much but nearly impossible to make all that for 70+ people plus band, all by yourself. He decided to add pork and cheese tamales at the last minute, too. :lmao: We have a friend who insisted that she wants us to cater her wedding now and a bunch of other offers for jobs. Can't get him through school and opening a restaurant quickly enough.I also had six dozen Packers and Steelers cupcakes from Gigi's cupcakes.We had beer, wine, sangria, margarita and soda/water stations on each floor, as well as a large flat-screen TV on each floor (two with surround sound). We had to buy a ton of extra chairs as well as large garbage and recycling bins. The city of Memphis was left with no ice. Somehow in the midst of all this we ended up at a net gain on beer at the end of the night, and nearly even on wine. :lmao: GB generous friends who come bearing gifts.Nearly everyone left saying it was the best party they'd ever attended, even the U. Memphis kids. :) And I will never, ever do it again. :lmao: ETA: I'd wager we were the only Super Bowl party in Tennessee with a euphonium player.

Sounds like a great time was had by all. Why wouldn't you do that again? Maybe your load is already lightened due to already having the extra chairs, tv, garbage buckets, etc. And now you know where to get half the other stuff!If the cooking/meal prep was too much invite guests to bring something. How many are googling Euphonium? :lol:I use to play that in the high school band.
Click to expand...
We had to google euphonium, too, when the kid told us that was what he played. :lmao:I just don't think we could outdo ourselves Super Bowl party-wise. We'll have another party of some sort, just not a SB one so it doesn't suffer in comparison.
 
PEDDLE FORREST! PEDDLE! :lmao: Awesome.

Getting married in the Catholic church here starts with a "wedding course" too but no natural family planning talk...although since we already had a kid, maybe they figured we were already on their plan. I should dig out our video. During the vows the priest says, "Will you love honour, blah blah, " and we answer together repeatedly, "We will." When he gets to "Will you welcome children into your marriage?" We answer, "We have."

Krista, the euphonium always reminds me of my grade 7 teacher who was a dweeb. It was too heavy to carry to school on the bus so my dad would drop it off during the day and Mr Dweeb would always say, "Oh look, Raelene forgot her lunch again."

What did you do to your face?Oh, and Otis claimed 3rd person shtick long ago.

I didn't go to the dentist for 15 years and a couple of my molars grew abscessed and broke and had to be removed from my face and replaced with implants.
Click to expand...
Did they just shake their head with disdain? Dentists love that condescending shtick more than gas.

:lmao: The process of fixing the 15 years of non-dentistry has been going on for a couple of years, and OH apparently had become legendary in Chicago dentistry circles. Not in a good way.

1. Wow.2. If you ever do this again, I would really like to fly in for it and i'm not joking.3. Will you guys adopt my children if I get bitten by a Fer-de-Lance and die?D. Didn't you JUST move to Memphis like a week ago? How the hell do you know enough people to fill this party?4. My god this is the coolest sounding party ever.
Click to expand...
1. :lmao:2. We will give proper notice for this to happen.3. They're old enough that we don't really have to do much taking care of them, right? Like, just put some food and water bowls out? If so, yes! Also, I had to google Fer-de-Lance.D.(?) People in Memphis are very friendly.4. :lmao:

GB Portland, just had happy hour at a 5 star restaraunt and spent 20 bucks for tons of food and rogue dead guy beers. Now the debate begins, Miss International pagaent is going on downstairs at my hotel so do I a. go to a strip club or b. wait another hour and go to the lobby bar and sit with all the pagaent mom's and drink.

when i was in junior high, we were supposed to sell candy bars for 50 cents for some fundraiser. So I went door-to-door and sold them for a buck each. Probably cleared 40 or 50 bucks and would have totally gotten away with it except that I tried to sell them to my best friend's grandmother who had already bought some from him for 50 cents. His mom called my parents, but I just told them that she was old and confused and they bought it. One of our neighbors owned a restaurant and I later tried to get a job as a bus boy, but his wife forbid him to give me the job, claiming that I was not trustworthy.
 
We need the video of GM at the blazers game on a tricycle winning free McDonalds for a year

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: I laughed at the thought of this possibly being a true story. I should've known better. There is no humorous/entertaning story that is too outlandish for you. If someone posted "we need the video of GM having a 3-some with Oprah and Bea Arthur while Mayo Angelou fed him hot dogs" I would expect to see that video posted within hours. If I was gay and looks were not important, I think I'd make a move on you.

 
Very late in the afternoon I went to get my haircut. Been with the same stylist for 10+ years, no complaints, but on the same street as his shop I notice a new place just opened. I'm a few minutes early so I slow down a bit to take in the window. This wasn't a sign...this was on the window in yellow lettering.

After three decades of owning hair salons with small retail areas selling only hair products, we had our "aha" moment. We thought we would expand our retail area and sell really cool stuff. Additionally, if we sold enough, we would be able to give our cutting edge hair care services for free.

Enjoy the benefits:

Retail purchase $40 = FREE blow dry

Retail purchase $55 = FREE haircut

:bag: Crazy idea, huh? I popped in, they sell hair care stuff plus local hand made jewelry plus some tchotchke. I wasn't terribly interested, but I kind of like the crazy anyway.
