GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

Every year my company donates to Easter Seals and as an incentive to get companies to donate, the Easter Seals puts on a charity volleyball tournament for the employees of the companies that donate. I don't own a Cat Shirt (yet) but, a few years ago my spiritual (and crazy) ex mother-in-law bought me a Dragon Shirt. I never wore it, but a couple years ago I wore it to this volleyball tourney as a goof. My co-workers get a kick out of it and during the tourney I make random Dragon noises and pretend that I can fly. I'm pretty sure the people on the other team think I'm autistic. Pic of Dragon-Shirt coolness

Tonight while attempting to spike the ball at the same time as a guy on the other team, I accidentally kicked the other guy in his nuts. He landed on his feet and then immediately dropped to his knees and let out a strange howl-like noise. I apologize profusely and he nodded and said it was ok. He then sat down and didn't play again all night. One of my teammates whispered to me "that's what he gets for messing with the Dragon".

Toward the end of the night, I collided with a teammate while trying to spike the ball and I landed on my back directly under the net. The ball somehow got over the net and the non-athletes on the other managed to bump into each other causing this smoking hot 20-something year old girl to fall and land on me. The way she landed resulted in her straddling my face. One of my teammates yelled out "rhymes with winning!!!" :lmao: We got up and she kept apologizing and before I could say something witty and flirtatious, she then said "oh wait till my boyfriend finds out I fell on some guy's face tonight". It's too bad, I figured if she and I hit off and got married we'd have an awesome story about how we met.

 
:goodposting:My Dad gave me a digital picture frame with a ton of old pictures he painstakingly scanned. Would it be funny to print out pics from 30+ years ago that has a pic of, say my Great Grandmother's house in it, and then anonymously leave it at the current owner of the house? I think it would.
Put yourself in their shoes. You wake up one morning and find a pile of pictures stuffed into an envelope tossed on your welcome mat. The pictures are of your current house from a few decades prior. Yeah, that wouldn't be creepy at all.
 
Congrats to all the baby-makers.
And to the guys stuck raising them.
:lmao: On a serious note: Anyone have any idea what ,in general, it would cost to carry 2m in liability insurance for a small business?
Our policy runs about $2,500 / year but it will depend on what type of business (we have no retail) and your sales volume. It's a pretty easy process to get it quoted though... just some basic questions they'll ask.
Cool, thanks.
 
El Floppo-why keep Hass? He hasn't been good since 2007. The fact that you can't trade him should tell you something-he's not worth keeping. I would go after J Graham- 2nd round. I don't know how high TE's are valued in your league. I think you need a strong backup TE over drafting a WR or rook QB and Graham was being hyped before the Saints cut Shockey. I agree with your cuts. Hass over Garrard. Thats a nice dynasty roster, You might be better off ignoring all of our advice.
thanks nightmare- appreciate your input. I'm worried that with the hype, Graham won't make it to the 2nd round. The thing in my favor currently is that nobody's dropped a TE in their cuts yet- typically teams in our league only carry 2 TEs to maximize the WR and RB spots, so he might/probably sneak through.I think I might just take this to the dark side.
 
Working on less than 3 hours sleep. Not even enough time for drunk to turn into hungover. Add a bunch of coffee to the mix, and now I've got a weird drunk/sleepy/wired feeling. This day is gonna suck.

Score some coke. :shrug:
The day has sucked, as predicted.I went home for lunch and took a nap. Came back to find a person that had tentatively scheduled a meeting but never confirmed it waiting in my office. I have two client meetings this afternoon. And even though I showered this morning, I can still smell strippers.
 
Exchange I had a few minutes ago with a student. Not only is she a ditz she loves to play the role. She also is constantly interrupting. After having to deal with her 4 or 5 times in 10 minutes I'd had enough.

We're watching a video and there was a scene showing a 21 gun salute at a funeral:

Girl: (totally interrupting the voiceover on the vid) Why do they shoot at funerals?

Me: Drew, (yeah, a girl named Drew) quiet down.

Girl: But I just want to know...

Me: OK, but just wait until after the video.

Girl: All I want to know is why they shoot at funerals?

Me: It's a warning.

Girl: A warning for what?

Me: "You're next".

Doh, I never even thought of Drew Barrymore.
 
Of course, it would be much tougher to resist the temptation to wrap my hands around some scrawny little necks and squeeze until that little smart###' face was more purple than my knuckles.

Would it have been so hard to say "That's a great question and I'll answer it as soon as this video is done." instead of "Drew, quiet down."?

Because it's a stupid question?

They're shooting at vampires who are trying to drink the blood out of the dead body.

Because she's 14 freaking years old and knows better than to ask random questions, without raising her hand, during the middle of something. ****.

Yeah, how dare the kids you're teaching be curious and want to learn something! I know from your other posts it's unlikely you're a lousy teacher, but you really could have handled her question better. Sorry bub.And how is it a random question? They showed it during a scene you had them watch. You should be happy your kids were paying attention and had questions about what you were having them watch.

:lmao: You have no idea. Keep talking, though.
 
What's the deal with McDonald's funky McFlurry spoon? It's got a square handle and an elongated scoopy part. :confused:

Nevermind, I found that the spoon is attached to the mixer machine used to mix the icecream and toppings, then detached for eating.

A couple of nights ago, I got really, really intoxicated and best as I can recall: I texted Thorn and made him get on AIM because I clearly had lost the dexterity to do any texting via my iPhone; I then just decided to call him; and I browbeated him into giving me strykerpks phone number (this took several iterations, as I have the photographic evidence to show); I called strykerpks, somehow merged the two calls (not sure I can do this sober on my phone) and then I said 'hello' to an old college friend, Mr. Blackout.

I've spent two days recuperating. I'm now in my absolution phase, so apologies to both if I crossed the line between funny and obnoxious. :bag:

Too bad you typed out what you should have said
 
Just got back from Red Riding Hood. The wife and I both loved it. It was beautifully shot and Amanda Seyfried is gorgeous and I dug the whole Red Riding Hood thing. As far as if other people would like it, answer these three questions:

1. Can you accept it's a movie based on a fairy tale and there will be places where they stretched a bit to fit the "legend" into this movie.

2. Did the trailer and/or the idea of a dark, Tim Burton-ish adaptation of a fairy tale peak your interest?

3. Did you like/love Sleepy Hollow?

If you answered yes to any or all of those you'd probably like this. If you're a spazzy snobby dork who takes movies way too seriously, you'd probably hate it.

Also Amanda Seyfried is gorgeous.
