GM's thread about nothing (31 Viewers)

I love going to the bookstore during lunch. I always feel smarter and calmer after walking around for half an hour or so. Yet I rarely buy a book while I am there.

I keep a saved draft in my PM box also asking for AR to delete my account and all my posts. Probably will be the day my wife finds the "Sex as a Weapon" thread.

 
I can't believe that the people who organized the conference I went to this week thought it would be a good idea to have three separate presentations, each lasting 1 hour plus, from actuaries. The only good thing is that the bar was set low enough that it made me look like a comedic genius in comparison.

Total presenter count:

Actuaries - 4 (one presentation had two of them)

Health care providers - 2

Southern historians wearing ridiculous bow ties - 2

Vietnam war heroes - 1

Alcohol-abusing pr/advertising guys - 1

A friend of mine is throwing herself a 40th-birthday party this Saturday in Chicago--an absolutely huge fiesta with people flying in from all over. I was supposed to go but won't be able to make it and would like to send something to the party as a surprise. Ideas? notastripperoramarchingband
Have someone deliver some growlers of beer from Piece.
:wub:Guys, this is the GMTAN. Is it possible to curtail the weather talk and for ##*%(%(q@'s sake the chain restaurant talk (which has been covered ad nauseum and is as played out as Woz's dating threads) and get back to the Gadzooks stories and the SLB/GM/everybody else funny? TIAYIC.
A GB has a black toenail from stubbing his toe on a rock while fishing last weekend. There's a good chance I can get pics of us pulling it out with a pair of pliers on Monday. Should I take pics and if I post them should it be here or in the Drunk Thread?
Both.
 
The last time I ate at an Outback, the filet was horribly overcooked and the shrimp inedible. It was the furthest thing from consistent as that's usually at least something I can choke down there.

The menu is consistent in its offering, but I don't understand this claim that the food prep is in any way consistent.

The worst food I've eaten in recent memory was at a small mom and pop place. They're hardly immune.
I'm betting the best food you've eaten was from a mom n pop place rather than a crapchain.That's kind of the point...you're trading consistent mediocrity for the possibility of greatness.
:goodposting: I had to take a travel detour because of some silly hurricane while on vacation in North Carolina a few years ago.

We got into some place pretty late one night, decided we were really hungry and went into the first place we saw.

It was called Beef Barn.

It looked like some silly Mom and Pop nothing special place.

They had Cheateau Briand for one in there.

It was amazing.

Even more so most likely because expectations were low going in.

There should be a way to set this to automatically send everyday at a certain time unless you check in and cancel it? :ph34r:
 
La FLoppolinha seems to be coming 4 weeks early, depending on the results of some tests (amnio needles = long).

Wife at the hospital now, I'm back to check on Jr #1 and more importantly alert the FFA to keep their mitts of my girl, before returning to the hospital for a C tonight or tomorrow AM. Or later. EVen if the baby doesn't come, the wife is stuck at the hospital at least 3 days.

I'm ####ed.

Did you watch on the ultrasound when they put the needle in? I thought that was uber-cool.Good luck
 
no reason to apologize to other posters...pretty sure this thread you can just post whatever's on your mind.Did ya'll realize 410 unique posters have chimed in this thread. Okay, so that's probably only like 250 people, but still, 177 with > 10 posts, that's not bad.
Yes, there is reason to apologize.Squirrel-killer and YSR, I'll be waiting. :ph34r:
sorry i was sort of hippling and didn't see your post. crosseyed knows i wouldn't have posted that after you edict was proclaimed.
 
The place that offered me a job, and then rescinded it? Those dickmittens called me today and wanted me to come back in. I wasn't mean to them, but I gotta say I enjoyed declining the opportunity.
:thumbup: That is a great feeling.Back when I was looking for my first teaching job the pickings were slim. I had two interviews lined up. One at a continuation school in one of the worst parts of town. The other was at a middle school in a town about 50 miles away up in the mountains. If I had my choice of jobs neither one of those would have cracked the top 20. But I needed a job badly.The interview at the continuation school was the worst job interview ever. I could write pages on how bad it sucked. The capper came at the end when the prinicipal told me that the interview, which lasted like 45 minutes, was actually just a formality...they didn't even know if the position would be available or not.2 days before I was to go up to the school in the mountains I landed a last minute interview at the school I'm at now. Best interview ever and at one of the best schools in the county. The next day they offered me a job and I took it. Fast forward to the next June. The bunglord principal from the continuation school calls me up and asks if I was still looking for a job. Keep in mind this was 9 months later. When I told him I had found a job and where I was teaching he had the gaul to ask me if I was interested in leaving. This would be like leaving a job at Stanford to teach at Chuck Wepner Junior College in Bayonne. I actually laughed at the guy. OK, it was more like a chuckle but I almost asked if the guy was serious.
I was thinking just last night that this board needs a chuckle smilie. Too many occasions call for it.
And a :chuckie: smilie.

Greetings EF Just wantednto drop you a note to let you know our family will be thinking good thoughts for you all. I still remember very well your comments and notes back 4 years ago when my little guy was in the hospital yet again for multiple heart surgeries. Anyhow, good look and God bless.
 
I received the following message in relation to the "pamper party" I must attend tomorrow:

"Two quick notes:

1. Please dress comfortably! No need for a pretty dress, we're going for a lounge-clothes feel. (That's lounge as in "lounge about in your PJs" not "lounge lizard.")

2. We'll have "coupons" to fill out as a gift to Car. (Picture the little coupon books you used to make your parents: good for one empty dishwasher, free hug, clean living room, etc.) So it could be a grocery shopping trip, a night of babysitting, and whatever else you can think of.

This is going to be fun!"

There's no way I'm coming out of this alive, is there?

Am I the only person who never gave "coupon books" to her parents?

This sounds like the planners wanted to spend as little effort as possible on this thing.
 
are furries more likely to be pedos? does this logic apply to all fetishes?
I don't know if they are more likely, but why take the chance on sexual deviants dressed like sesame street is real. I also had a random guy come up to me on the street and try to sell me gold. He just had a bunch of gold chains balled up in his hand and said "hey man, 14 carat" and opened his hand real quick on the sly. He wasn't a furry, but he offered one some gold as well, although this was only half furry - not the full costume, just ears and a tail.

I'm half furry - just back n balls

I don't know where a post like this should go, but I'm hoping this isn't the place.
 
CQ Jr is apparently a baseball prodigy. 3rd game ever tonight and he turned a triple play (playing first - caught line drive, stepped on first, threw to second).

Also last night I was the latest victim of GMTAN daughter dance recital syndrome. All in all it wasn't bad except it started at the same time as the NBA draft. So I had to pretend that I was using my phone as a light to read the program when I was actually refreshing ESPN draft tracker. WifeyQ caught on after I gasped when the Cavs took Thompson so I had to put it away and pay attention. Thanks Chris Grant (Cavs GM)!!!

JR just hosed down the living room when he decided to pee while taking a naked tricycle ride through the house. Good thing AngryWife is at Target. Also, I may not be the most attentive parent.

 
Krista>starting to understand the whole 'moving to Nicaragua' thing.
:lmao: If I can get down there before 2 p.m. tomorrow, I'll be golden.Have you started your new job, by the way?
I start on 7/5. I didn't tell HCA I was turning them down until today. :unsure:
My wife works for HCA in Austin. She likes it.
:shrug: Probably would have worked out fine, but I wanted to work for Seton.
 
was there some pruning of the thread today? I was on page 617 clicked 618 and went to page 614.
I was asked by someone earlier today to delete all their posts and their account. I guess they had about 3 or 4 pages worth of posts in here.
Hopefully it was Furley

all in this thread? :furley:
 
Most guys don't want to have daughters b/c of they fear potential suitors as they "know how they were as guys when they were teenagers". This never bothered me....I knew if I had daughters, that at some point guys would be doing whatever they could do get whatever they could. You just hope you raised them right and that they don't get hurt or turn into dirty whores.

The thought of spending 4 hours at a dance recital makes me want to stab sharp needles into my ears.

Thank Allah I had 2 boys.
