GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

I'm going to a wedding this weekend and there will be a newlywed couple there. Normally, this would be fine. Except: the wife, who is a couple of years younger than I am, is crazy. She has been arrested no fewer than 3 times for crimes against her ex-fiance: stealing his car (actually, following him downtown one night, seeing where he parked and then calling a tow truck on the car); sugar in the gas tank (caught on video); and the creme de la creme: she tried to burn down her ex-fiance's garage (above his wealthy grandparents' beautiful, historic house) apartment... ended up burning down the entire estate (~ $1 million +) .I've had two dreams in the last week where she confronts me for spreading lies about her through our SC community. It is true that I have told the story of her arrest and craziness, but I've spread no lies (in fact, I've had a SC FBI-type guy look into the charges to be sure I've not gotten anything wrong).
That's dedication to gossip.
Good point. But c'mon, when you live in a smallish southern community and something like this crosses your plate, you want to verify before to pass it on, no?

Why pass it on at all? Apart from the husband-to-be and his parents' belongings, she doesn't seem to be a real threat, even if she is a bit unstable.

Does the crazy girl's husband know that he married the re-incarnated Left Eye Lopes?

Another good point. My only concern was the then-boyfriend, as he was a casual friend and I just wondered if someone shouldn't give him a heads up. At the end of the day, I did probably tell more people and/or discuss it with more people than I should... maybe that's why I'm having this super scary dream?

I'm no bostonfreud, but that would be my guess. If she confronts you about spreading lies, maybe she's a bit off. If she confronts you about spreading rumors, she seems to have a valid point. If she confronts you about spreading other things, I hope you've thought of a good excuse (like you have/had low self-esteem or were in a bad place).

Frankly, if a woman can't think of anything better to do on her wedding day than to confront the local gossip about reporting the fact that she's bat#### crazy, then she's doing it wrong.

Or he is.

I doubt you have much to worry about.

I think crazy bride is already married and will be a guest at the upcoming nuptials. If YSR gets seated next to her, things could get pretty interesting.

I must have mis-typed. She and her husband (the then-boyfriend I referenced above) will be at the same wedding I'm going to this weekend (along with the "easy" girl who will be trying to explain back her chastity to another gentleman in attendance).So, yes, crazy girl will be there with her husband and we know each other well enough from childhood that I cannot avoid her. My fiance is 50/50 on whether he is coming with me to this thing. Anything I shared with others about her was 100% truth, so I guess I have that on my side. I just don't want her to light me on fire.HI-YA!

You might want to consider driving a rental since she seems to have a thing for destroying cars.

You didn't mis-type. I mis-read. I really hope you don't get burned alive this weekend.

How does Crazy Girl know you've been talking about her?
 
Little known possibly widely known trick for your wimmens:

Instead of taking any kind of diamond jewelry to have it professionally cleaned, or buying the cleaning wipes that jewelers sell, just pour some Windex into a small glass bowl and soak the jewelry for a couple of minutes. If you have a soft bristled toothbursh, you can dip it in Windex and gently scrub the diamond itself.

It's like new.

My friend told me this trick years ago, after she ran it past her brother (a chemist for Procter & Gamble) and he confirmed that it's basically the exact same thing the jewelers use.
You can get the dirt off that way. You don’t even need Windex. Soap and water would likely do just as good of a job. But, it wouldn’t look just like new. Jewelry needs to be polished every once in a while as gold dulls. Just as an FYI, cleaning gold jewelry with a toothbrush is a royal pain in the ###.
 
How in the hell do you people who live EST do it? It's after midnight and Butler/Wisc is still going on. I can't comprehend this, despite spending 22 years in CST. PST is where it's at. EST sucks. This sucks so bad I'd never move here if you doubled my salary. I had to wait all f'n day for games to start and am watching them now by myself with my in-law's 20 year old cat and FIL's scotch. Horrible.

I'd guess there's a total of 43 people in the Eastern time zone that were actually watching that game.I do envy you though, because usually I have to wait until 11pm for Hawaii to kick off so I can double down on the $300 I lose on the average fall Saturday. But come on, 9am for kickoff on Sunday? I don't stop drinking until 4ish.

10 am. It's perfect. Bloody mary and breakfast while you watch pregame. The worst was living in Hawaii. Football at 7 am is just wrong.
 
This might seem like a strange question but do any of you know where I can get this but with a larger center? Maybe a custom cut?

TIA
Trust me, you don't want to do this. That stuff burns, man.
Finless is still unpaid. I'd lock his team out.
He said a few days ago he was sending a check. We go to auction if you don't receive it by Tuesday.
I'll keep you posted.

Gotcha, 10...thats right, stupid daylight savings right now. I'd still probably miss 13/17 kickoffs

PST is where it's at. Waking up at 9am on Saturday with college games on, ability to remain coherent until the last of the late games. Then 10am Sunday NFL with hardly any waiting around at all for games to kick. You EST guys have to wait until 1pm. UGH. And how about this? SNF and MNF are OVER by 9pm...that's time enough to sober up and go to bed early. WINNING!!!!

EST can bite me. This blows. It's almost 1am and I'm wide awake. There is NOTHING on TV. I'm about to order porno on my inlaws TV.

 
when I'm in Vegas, it's usually pretty easy to sleep through the early NFL games. Pacific time is good for some things, but not for NFL.

I have grown to prefer CST over EST though. That extra hour helps a lot.

That's Vegas, though. That's not real life. I've done things in Vegas that should have killed me and inspired a new chapter in the Mormon Bible. Live here for 6 months and tell me you routinely struggle to make it out of bed at 10am. Plus, you can bet online BEFORE you hit the sack. Wake up, oops, football.

I still like to party sometimes. Saturdays are the best day to go out and get drunk. I sometimes sleep past the 10 am start times. I often wake up around halftime. :shrug:
 
If the world ended tomorrow and you had one man left standing with you to shoulder on, would you pick Bear Grylls or The Dos XX's Most Intersting Man?
I'm entirely too literal for questions like this. So on behalf of my inner Christo, I pick Bear.
Ugh, but everytime he says "Glacy-eere" instead of "Glacier" I'd want to smash him in the head with a frozen deer ****.

I don't know. Bars here close at 5am on Saturdays. When I used to be go out a lot more, it was pretty tough to wake up by noon on a Sunday. If games started at 10am, there was no way I'd be seeing the first half of games, changing fantasy lineups, or making any bets on time.With the 10am start time, I'd be tempted to pull all nighters far too often and then wind up crashing and sleeping through 75% of the action later on.

Yeah, but knowing games start then, you'll bounce out of bed with a good DRUNK hungover and not a nasty dehydrated one. Those are easier to nurse and introduce to the 'shampoo effect'.

Allegedly, he's british. But allegedly, Scupper went to Duke.

I drink waaay too much to "bounce out of bed"
 
In Vegas, you gotta get your bets down the night before. The odds are high that at kickoff, you're gonna be face-down and drooling, pants around your ankles, in the middle of the Extraterrestrial Highway.

Or is that just me? :unsure:

Yeah, the 5am thing I can see, but how long can a man do that? I mean, you're married now. You can't possibly do the 5am thing very often. And despite the time zone differential, you still have to go to work at 7-9am like I do, right? Isn't it better to have MNF end at 9pm than 1am? That way, you can go to bed at a decent hour and make it to work refreshed. Same applies for SNF. Once you have kids, you'll want NFL games to start ASAP and not wait around until 1pm. Trust me, PST is the nuts.

You need an alarm that lights you a bowl like I have.
 
I lived in Florida for a year or so. I hated the 1 pm start times. 10 am is a tad too early but 1 pm is way too late. I could go for an 11 o'clock start time.

Waking up and having a full day of football is all kinds of fun. Actually getting work done before gametime? Bah.

I would never have believed it before I moved out here but 10AM NFL kickoff is perfection. PST pretty much rules for all sports viewing. It takes about a season to acclimate but once you do you can't believe you ever had to do it any other way.
 
lol...my MICHIGAN CORNHOLE is going to be attended by a party of one. Me. I'm done trying to assemble cornholes, but I'll go to 'em if there.

Oh, and also? I got an email on my phone that I 'qualified' for pre-sale tickets to the June 28th Edgefield show of My Morning Jacket. :excited: :excited: :excited: A few awkward thumb tumps here and there and I've got 2 tickets to see them this summer. I attend about 1-2 non-free concerts a year, so I cannot wait to see this one. Love this band.
