GM's thread about nothing (38 Viewers)

[Good Posting Judge]

Co-worker said something about not knowing that I was into the old broads. I told him I was the "Anti-Homer". He had no clue what that meant.

I've said "I'm shuked" in front of family and friends and no one seemed to notice that they didn't know the word. Or maybe they did know.

I'll drop a "knews" in there from time to time.

 

[-fish-]

I don't even try to get into any thread started by Tim. I just don't get it. On any level. The amount of words, the meaning of his words, the why of his words. He's so....weird.

I'd like to take him out drinking just on the off chance that at the end of the night he'd choke on his own vomit.

Philosophical question: If something horrible happens to you and you don't remember it, was it still horrible while you are experiencing it?

For example, if Gadzooks got blackout drunk and slept with Maude but didn't remember a thing about it, did his horror in experiencing the event matter? He still felt and experienced the unthinkable but since he doesn't remember it, it's as if it never happened even though the "in the present" Gadzooks may still have been deeply traumatized.

One could also related this to being in a horrific accident you don't remember but the Gadzooks analogy seems to be more appropriate.

Yes, it was still horrible. The mind protects you from the trauma by blacking it out. Zooks would probably suppress the memory, but could be subject to severe flashbacks, visions of socks with a bit of sand in them, and an unexplainable fear of shar-peis.

What if the horrible event is not blocked because of the trauma but because of drugs (alchohol being a drug)?

As a longtime drunk, I can tell you that even after a complete blackout, I'll have flashes of what happened after 24 hours, usually ending up with the majority of the night filling in within a couple weeks. The fact that you don't have a clear recollection (or any recollection) afterward doesn't mean that you didn't absorb the experience at the time.

Just so I'm clear on this: if me and Maude make sweet magical love, you're saying it's me that endures the horrible trauma? That seems a little far-fetched, but I guess we'll never know because the chances of Maude and I bumping uglies under the sheets is probably less than 40% at best.

 

[bostonfred]

Are you talking real 40%, or the kind of 40% that tim says he plagiarizes less than?

I'm not saying that Maude won't be traumatized. I'm just saying that the fact that you're blackout drunk won't prevent you from experiencing the shame and horror of nailing some woman born during the great depression.

I enjoy tim's threads to a certain degree. I could easily wander to wikipedia or hundreds of other websites to find this information but I'm lazy. He spends 1,000 words when 10 would do but other than that it's not so bad. He's better than Levi.

I went to my cousin's graduation tonight. I missed the hot young chicks you folk were talking about earlier. Instead I ran across hispanic tramps with tattoos on the forearms and permanent drawn on eyebrows.

Last day of school today for the boys. I bought plants instead of roses for their teachers, the principal and the administrative staff this year. As I handed out the gifts to the office, I thanked them for the help and patience and pretended to get a little choked up. The principal hugged me and said "don't worry, your son is a genius, it will be alright."

I deserve a freaking Oscar.

We're still moving but who know how long it will take to sell our house. It's sort of like when you get stopped by a cop, you make a donation to the policeman's ball before he tells you why he stopped you.

I guess we received a letter from the City of Milwaukee today accusing us of a building code violation. Something about "overcrowding" and how we can be fined $10K/day if we don't rectify it.

I don't think I have 20 people living in my basement. Anyone ever dealt with something like this?

So you're in California and you get a letter stating there is "overcrowding" in your house where you're fiancee is supposedly all alone missing her SammyBear? If I was you I'd starting hiding freeze pops. By the way, I'm almost finished with your wedding present/prize pack of awesomeness. It should be sent out next week. Also, is everyone from the GMTAN sitting at the same table at the reception?

My buddy's dad has been fighting cancer for about a year, and losing. Been in Hospice for a week or so, and we all knew the end was coming soon. So I woke up Wednesday morning around 11 and had a few texts. The first was from my buddy's wife at around 7AM, "Hi P, Brendan's dad passed away this morning." The next text was from Brendan an hour or so later, "Beers and golf at Diamondback, 1 o'clock. Be there." Played 18 with him and his three brothers and two BILs, got completely hammered and had a blast. God bless the Irish.

Heading to calling hours in a minute. Bet your sweet a##es I packed a cooler.
