GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

[Tremendous Upside]

It looks like Terwilliger Curves!

I can't be the only one who googled this. I think I've even been there.

Yeah, I googled itI think it's awesome they show that stuff during the TV broadcast in Portland

We don't get to see the halftime stuff in NYC

 

[facook]

I this thread.

didn't think you did anything besides rate books.

Yeah...I don't s my pants, throw Super Bowl ragers for half of Memphis, race trikes in the Rose Garden, or concoct candy bar fundraiser ponzi schemes. But GM's thread sure does make for some entertaining reading.

 

[General Malaise]

We need the video of GM at the blazers game on a tricycle winning free McDonalds for a year

Thanks Tiger. [

:( 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.

It wasn't televised. The Blazers offered us a DVD of the halftime show for 15 bucks. Pretty sure that while the crowd suffered through that, the TV audience watched Sonic commercials.What's funny is that Coop got picked out AGAIN for a 2nd contest on the floor 3 months later with his step mom. Not nearly as funny (she's not a fat guy on a vehicle) and Coop comes in second. But that kid...he's just lucky.

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

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.

FREE blow dry?

They dump a bucket of water on your head and then blow it dry. What's so hard to understand?

Internet access on the plane sucks. Tried to watch a movie on netflix streaming but it spends 10 minutes buffering every 5 minutes. Also, the woman in front of me decided she would be more comfotable in my lap so the monitor portion of my laptop is in my lap and the keyboard is resting against my belly.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Ever since that Dragon mom article (Chinese Moms Are Superior; memoirs of a Tiger mother) was discussed in the FFA, I always think the same thing when I open our thread:

Skyline is the obvious choice. For good sushi, go to Jo An in Erlanger.

Mainstrasse in Covington has some decent places - Chez Nora is pretty good

Montgomery Inn in Ft Mitchell is quite tasty

This is so effing classic. Cincy is like Detroit - with less culture. You want something decent? Go across the river to Third World Kentucky. Its better there.

That's where I'll be most of the week.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Then I feel for ya, Drifter. Spent many years driving around Columbus-Dayton-Cincy working for PwC. Anytime I had to work in the River City, I'd make my reservations in Covington or Burlington-Fort Mitchell.Its a nice place to leave.

I think I glossed over the part where he said near the airport.

My best friends aunt was struck by a truck earlier today due to white out conditions of blowing snow. She died from her injuries, 58 years old. This was about 50 feet from her house as she walked to work. She was struck by the wife of a friend of ours. Terrible day all around.

Another item that is uplifting, a guy I have known for 30 years has been missing since 9pm on Friday. They fear he went through the ice on his snowmobile on northern Lake Huron.

Went out for a steak dinner with a bunch of friends last night. Drank from 6:30 til 3 in the morning. I've been a complete waste of life today.....woke up at 3, haven't left the house, had my wife get me french fries and gatorade.

Getting old sucks

Wait until the kids come. I'm convinced that my wife sneaks upstairs and pokes JR in his crib so that he'll wake up extra early on the days that daddy is "under the weather."

Did the same.woke up at 9:00 to the wife leaving for the gym, fell back asleepwoke up at 10:45 to the wife coming home from the gym, fell back asleep. Even the coffee she brought me didn't do the trick.woke up at 2:00 to the kid yelling into the mic while playing Xbox, fell back asleepFinally woke up for good around 5:00 tonight. At the last bar we were at, there was some guy sitting at the bar listening to his iPod singing to himself. Karaoke night was in full gear and it was pretty awful, so maybe the guy had the right idea.conversation among my friends turned into our impressions of what would make a person do that. I figured it was just simple social ineptness. Said I can spend 1/4 of the money it takes to get drunk at a bar and get drunk at home and still have an extra $30 bucks for iTunes. 45 minutes later, the guy's still listening, but now he's going Rob Lowe style via About Last Night on the girl sitting next to him with each of them using a bud to listen to the song.Then I started offering up a bet of $50 to the single girl in our group to go find out what the next 3 songs in the playlist are. She wouldn't bite on the $50 so I offered her a $100.Wife gives me a WTF look, walks over to the dude and asks what 3 songs are on deck. Comes back, tells me 3 Kid Rock tunes and takes $100 from me.

ha. True story, one of my friends dated Josh Reed at LSU and I think they started dating briefly a few years into his time @ Buffalo. Said all the players bring pedialyte to the bars/clubs and get the bartenders to mix drinks with it so they aren't hungover for practice the next day

this is interesting b/c Marshawn Lynch got a reputation for bringing his own mixers into the bars around Buffalo. People just thought it was another weird thing he did, but I suppose it may have been this.

I got up for good at 1pm today. Kids were at their mom's house. No real hangover to cite, I just did it because I could. I woke up a few times, my wife has some sort of mild food poisoning I think, so I just slept through her barfing in the toilet and moaning that she hated life. I actually moved from our bed to the couch and took a good long nap.

Yesterday, I had to use a condom for the first time in years. Found something called Beyond Seven in an old travel bag that somehow appeared in my jean's pockets in a 2007 trip to San Francisco. I don't know how I ever got that condom and I never thought I'd ever use it, but there I was on Saturday, trusting my life to it. Happy to know it works just fine for Below Seven people too. Wife pulled the goalie recently, but we're still not ready to try. Just wanna get the pill out of her system. Or something.

I played a game called Apples to Apples last night at the house of a couple I'd never met before. Man of the house was a typical Portland Hipster who forced us to listen to his iPod in alphebetical order, no matter what came. It was pretty brutal. His wife was kinda hot though. My wife won the game. I never played it before. I got angry a few times. I bet this game would cause Shuke's head to explode. Might be fun to challenge him one day.

Sorry to hear about your loss Early and I hope they find your friend, Sofa. I hate bad news.

Also, I was thinking about it today. I white out would be pretty dangerous for me to venture out in.

This game drives my mom bonkers. She'll argue constantly that people don't know hot to judge and throw mini tantrums. It's hilarious. I think she hates my decisions the most. I go way outside of the box with my criteria.

Condoms are for sailors. Just pull out. What's the worst that could happen? You're already married...
