GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

I seriously don't know if I could go a day as a vegetarian.
I'll say this, the food industry has gotten pretty creative with their veggie offerings. They make a vegan "beef jerky" that's actually pretty good. Not as tough as the real thing, but it's tasty.Mrs. Sack also gets this chicken nugget things that are indistinguishable from the real thing and a hell of a lot healthier.

The only thing you have worry about is not getting all your protein from soy products. Soy promotes the production of estrogen. So if you're a dude, you could end up with mantits ala. Bob from Fight Club. No shtick.

 
BTW, Frosti, "Krippling" is not the same as "Hippling". I read through the rest of the thread first so that I can consolidate replies--see my immediately first reply to Bob Sacamano, for instance--and make sure I'm not making the same comment that's already been made (unless I'm just agreeing). Hippling is someone going back in time and not taking into account the subsequent posts.
Makes sense. I always figured you were better than that.
 
You want to know what sucks? When you make a bet against Ryan Howard doing well because he's going up against Tim Lincecum and then Lincecum is scratched with the flu and Barry freaking Zito gets the start instead and gives up a home run to Howard in the first inning.

They don't have to fly to get up there. They craaaaaaaaawl.
And everywhere, too. Most of the scorpions we've found have been dead, in the pool skimmer. I think they believe they've found a safe place, so they crawl in through the hole in the lid and eventually drown. My wife won't empty the basker because of this.

No more pool time. No more wave making. :sadbanana: :rant:
When I was a young kid, I want on a fishing / camping trip with my family and several others. I was playing in the dirt/sand by the campfire and felt a burning sensation on my knee. I stood up to look and there was a scorpion on the ground where my knee was. All I knew about scorpions was from some Walt Disney nature books we had, and it was my general understanding that if they stung you, you died.I freak out and run crying to the domino table where my parents are in a hot game of 42 with the Holders. Ed Holder was the local "Outdoors" writer for the hometown paper (Port Arthur News). He looks down at my injury, then pulls out of his mouth about half of his baseball sized chaw of Redman and puts it right on the scorpion sting. He tells me the tobacco juice will draw out the poison and sends me on my way.So I'm sitting of to the side with another mans tobacco drool drizzling down my leg. just wailing and crying and my dad finally comes over and is like wtf, you're embarrassing your mother. Does it really hurt that much. And i was sobbing and said no, it doesn't really hurt that bad, but I am going to die and no one even cares.

It's on Netflix if you got it.
I'll look for it online.I feel like I should watch this out of pity. :mellow:

Opening Weekend:$7,840 (USA) (30 August 2009) (1 Screen)

Gross:$77,126 (USA) (7 March 2010)
And yet that is still more than what Sarah Palin's movie made. WINNING!!!!!1
The trailer for that thing was one if the most contrived disingenuous things I've ever seen. Is it out of theaters already??

Reminds me of the time in high school when I got crabs from some hefty spanish girl while on vacation with my family.

Bacon, to me, like cocaine. Yea, sure, it's nice, but I'll never understand why people sell their souls for it.
Spoken like a man who has never enjoyed cocaine. The difference is that bacon takes a few more years to kill you.

Someone cured it by sticking a wad of half-chewed tobacco on your pecker?
 
I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but I've laughed several times at

So I leave for my honeymoon in 6 days. My sister, who was going to watch our dog during the trip called me up about a half hour ago to tell me that can't/won't. Apparently her and her husband scheduled a vacation and don't want to be responsible for the dog up north where she could "run away" like her up-north neighbors' dog just did.She agreed to this about 6 months ago. I don't have much else for options at this point. I might punch a hole in the drywall tonight. :wall: :hot: :rant: :wall:

Little-known fact: bacon is not meat. Bacon was Jesus' gift to Darwin when he was elected supreme pope of deciding who gets to live and who has to die. Bacon is almost literally manna from heaven... and science... and to not partake reduces your chances of Darwin picking to you to continue living on this great rock. Eat the bacon and make Darwin and Jesus happy.

Ive been looking into hiring a dog trainer lately and noticed a lot of them advertising "Board and train." If you end up having to board the beast, maybe you can find someone who will throw in some attention and training.

 
I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but I've laughed several times at

Not sure why it quoted YSR there...oh well.Yeah, looks like this is now going to cost me about $400 to board her properly. Some in the $200 range but that only includes about 20 minutes/day of "playing". A little inhumane IMO.

Currently googling all options at this point and getting to petsitting next. How does it work? Do they just stop at your house a few times a day? Do they stay there?
 
I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but I've laughed several times at

jeebus thats ridiculous. Some of he train and board stuff here can be had for 2-300/wk. Google it in your city.I keep no notebook, but I am pretty sure you are too far from Austin to drop the dog here, but if its feasible, I'll keep him and he can play with four other dogs.

It's variable. Most will do what you ask of them. We'd have the petsitter come by 3 times a day. This would include both meal times and my dogs could make it that time in between without an issue (7am, 1pm, 7pm). They'd stay for 1/2 hour to an hour as well to play with them or just keep the company. In addition, they'd bring our mail in. Most petsitters will do other little things like water plants or other minor things like that.The last time I used a petsitter, it was $15/visit. The beauty of it is, if you have more than one dog, it's the same price for 2 dogs (like us) as it is for 1 dog because they are coming to your home. While you only have one, if that were to change, it's just another benefit. Your dog doesn't get stressed out being away from home. And you have someone checking in on your place while you're gone which is more peace of mind.

Go here: Pet Sitters International

They will help you find one in your area. They also make sure they are licensed and bonded. Makes trusting them a lot easier. Otherwise, ask around and see if any of your friends have ever used a pet sitter and how they feel about them. It often ends up being old people that do it because they truly love animals and tend to be around during holidays. We had the nicest old couple that did it for us the last time. They loved our dogs and would end up staying even longer just to keep them more company even if it was just sitting on the couch with them and watching TV.

Yeah, I'm looking at anywhere from $33/day-$111/day. Yes that would be $1110 for a ten day trip. They call it a "spa" for dogs. Eff that.I appreciate the offer but I'm not going to have enough time to drive from Milwaukee to Austin and back by Friday. I guess I could UPS her to you :shrug:

I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but I've laughed several times at

Here's what I'm thinking: I stay at your house while you're on vacation. The dog will be fine, I'll play with him, take him for walks, talk to him, drink with him, cuddle, let him sniff my peanutbutter-scented crotch, rent some Lassie movies and lick ourselves. You just enjoy your honeymoon. Also, leave some of Mrs. Stryker's lingerie at the house so I can wear it and send pics to you and everyone a few people in the GMTAN. You don't even have to pay me, just leave me some chicken in the fridge so I can have a late night snack when I catch a jerk to CatHouse. This is gonna be great! What are your neighbors like? Ah nevermind, I'll just go over and introduce myself, maybe invite them all over for some freeze pops and play Twister. Hey, wait, is there an Arby's nearby? This could be a deal breaker. I'll log into their website and scout out the nearest location. I'm assuming coupons in Mass would be good in Wisconsin. I'm really looking forward to this.Before you commit to this, you should probably check with Mrs. Stryker to make sure she's cool with it. I'm sure she'll be fine with it, make sure you tell about everything I mentioned, especially the lingerie part. Well I'm gonna go stock up on supplies, tell your pooch to get ready for an experience he'll never forget.

I suggest finding someone else. Pet Sitters International will help you avoid guys like this. I think.
 
Would be great shtick if Gadzooks flew in to dog sit
:goodposting:Possibly the best ever
I don't usually believe in fate... but I'm beginning to think this is meant to be. If there's a BINGO hall in your neighborhood, I may never leave.
This is Wisconsin. There's Bingo all over the place. Including Potawatomi Bingo & Casino about 10 minutes away.Oh and a fried chicken place 2 blocks away...and they deliver. Or we have a crock potSo do we have an accord?

I think we're about to embark on a beautiful life together. I can't wait to tell the lovely and hot Mrs. SLB that she'll be spending the rest of her life in Wisconsin once the quirky SLB kicks the bucket.
 
shamwow's situation = why whenever the wife & boy discuss getting a puppy, I say "HELL NO!"

Also, it's a shame he's leaving in 6 days and not two weeks. I know we don't know each other well, but my summer semester is done August 5th and I'd love a quiet place away from home to work on some fiction for a few weeks. I'd only charge gas money from Upstate NY and back and maybe a couple extra $$ for food. Plus I'd take care of the place, the pooch, etc. No worries about burglaries.

Ah well.

 
leaving work today at 11am (now) then going to see U2 at Heinz Field. Now, if I can just get rid of this stupid headache I've had since I woke up this morning.
:thumbup: Enjoy. I cant keep up with music like most of these guys do and thus I still love this band.
Show was unbelievable. One of the best concerts I have been too. Band sounded amazing, Bono hasn't lost his voice at all. Just totally amazing, crowd was way into it. A few pix were uploaded to facebook.
