GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

Just got back from my family reunion. Bunch a family drives three hours out to the rural school where we rent the cafeteria for the day. I end up spending the day talking with family that live in the same city. We small talk with family we never see, but those conversations could really be recorded and just played each year as we all stay home.

 
I also rolled in a hooking 12 foot birdie on the 18th at Morro Bay to shoot an 84 and beat my golf bum nephew by one stroke. He bogeyed the hole. :yes:
Where are you staying? I've played Morro Bay a few times. Love that course. Got pretty shirtfaced there too.
Cambria. Moonstone Beach. We rented a house and a few rooms all within a short walk of each other. A nephew got married there five summers ago, and we've made it a tradition ever since. Morro is on a spectacular piece of land that could have a world class course on it, but it's county maintained and probably designed for simplicity, so it has a muni feel to it. It's straightforward with sticky summer greens and easy enough a hacker like me to shoot lower than bogey golf, so that's always sort of welcome.

It's good to be home. I usually despise the Mojave in summer. Obviously menopause isn't an exciting topic here and I'm probably a generation or more ahead of the gmtan demographic, but guys... married guys... haha ... it's a comin' and it's a not a very nice. I have no idea if I will ever remarry. I'm not as adorable as GM, so one blown shot at it may be all I get, but at 49 staring down the big five oh, I am pretty damned glad to be single if that means not being married through a change of life. Two of my four sisters are married. Their husbands stared at the ocean a lot. I would not blame them for drinking and driving... responsibly as described in this thread.
I had my wife going through menopause the same time my daughter was going through puberty. :scared: :loco: :loco: :banned:

Had I stayed married that's where I'd be today.
 
Just spent a lovely evening at stately Cosjobs Manor. :thumbup:
It was great meeting you GBKZ. Hope you enjoyed yourself. I was disappointed in your flat hair, tho.If we could get together a GMTAN leeg of at least 12 at $400 a head, I'd use the new digs to host the draft for the weekend, providing a place to stay and all meals. I'll even hire out the Bentley bus to do airport pickups and dropoffs. Once in a lifetime offer, cause we'll fill up this fall and never have an empty estate again.
Good thing I pay attention when I read. I now know who gamera is.BTW, why did KZ get a ban?

I just got word that a friend of mine died in a mountain biking accident earlier this afternoon. The obvious grief aside, he died in a horrible manner. He wrecked his bike into a hornets' nest and was stung something like 1000 times. They airlifted him to the hospital but I guess he went into anaphylactic shock and didn't make it. Just horrible. :(
So sorry. Horrible.

I need to know the name of the town since I have family in pretty much every small town within three hours of where you live.
 
Also, cheese curds are ####### badass. And I usually get mine at Culver's, which appears to be the midwest version of Whataburger but has two locations in Austin for some reason.

And I have some crippling pain in the abdomen my right side that popped up tonight for the first time but I've managed to overcome it through a loving combination of booze and painkillers. Hopefully my FFA buddy remembers what he's supposed to do in case I die in my sleep tonight.

Still have your appendix?

Yep. But every list of symptoms of appendicitis start with
Aching pain that begins around your navel and often shifts to your lower right abdomen
This pain starts on the outside and washes over the whole right side.
 
Catfish: I don't know the meaning of your odd donation amount, but you are ridiculously generous. HUGE thanks. :wub:

Y'all: I'm rappelling down a 225-foot building and raising money for Special Olympics. If interested in helping secure my likely painful death, please donate via my FB page.
Stealing GM's shtick. :bag: Flattery GB....After thinking about it, why am I giving money to the Special Olympics? They get to have their own Olympics. Really? Where's my Olympics? WHERE'S MY OLYMPICS?!!!

That guy is a habitual linestepper.
 
For a wedding present I think I'd want a tree. Every year you could measure the growth in your relationship as well as the tree. You could watch it turn colors with the autumn frost, lose it's leaves and bear the winter snow, and come to life again in the spring. Birds will find shelter in its branches. You'd enjoy the comfort of its shade in the hot summer months. Your kids could build a treehouse and play for hours, imagining they're military spies or conservationists. And in 50 years, your great-grandchildren will be climbing into its branches.
when you get divorced you can chop it up and use it for firewood to start a bonfire in which you can burn all of your money.

Gotcha. Sounds like ball cancer to me.

See how useful a tree gift is? Make it a fruit tree and you can eat from it every year until it gets whacked.Fun fact..I can't think of one relative of mine who has gotten divorced except for one great-aunt.
 
Nearly everyone in my family has been divorced at least once. MIL, FIL, mom and dad, grandmother, grandparents on my father's side never were, but both had major addiction issues, all five aunts and uncles by blood, several cousins, a stepsister, a few friends already.

ODDS ARE LOOKIN' GOOD!

My ex would have pawned it before it got big enough for me to hang her from it.
 
I think I gave myself a minor hernia doing shoulder shrugs at the gym. Awesome. I feel like someone keeps kneeing me just above my junk.

Doctor tomorrow. Not looking forward to this. WebMD says minor surgery (if it's bad enough) or rest - which means no gym for perhaps months.

Awesome. :wall:

GD, that's horrible. So sorry.
 
Our wedding photo was the last thing I packed today. I posted a pic on FB if you would like to make fun of me.
Didn't want to post this on FB but that photo reminds me of something from Dateline. Spree/serial killer's wife talks about how happy they were when they were first married but then her husband began to act more and more strangely.
 
I'm ambivalent on professional fireworks shows, but there's no better combination than a childlike love of blowing #### up and an adult's bankroll to buy #### that blows up in dramatic fashion. Add alcohol and it's a win-win-win.

 
What's the worst way anyone you know has died?
I started typing an answer and realized this might not be a great direction for this thread. Certainly not for me.So the car I rented Tuesday on Kauai broke down 30 minutes from the airport at 9pm. The best the rental company could offer was a taxi to my destination, a tow for their car, and a fresh car delivered first thing in the morning. Heavy sheets of rain arrived before either. Five hours later, soaking wet under the cover of some trees on some beach, I used my carry on as a pillow and faded from consciousness.

I disagree that there's nothing better, but I agree the diy approach to fireworks entertainment is far better than professional shows.

Fair point. My grandmother died fairly recently so between this and YSR's tragedy it crossed my mind.At the service I realized my grandma was one of the most unintentionally racist people I've ever met. We had some good laughs swapping stories.

When I was a kid (early teens or so) I remember my black friend came over and while I was grabbing some stuff upstairs, my grandma was eating some pork rinds. She offered some to my friend and he declined the offer. She insisted he try some, saying "Your people really like these." :shock:

Another time we were playing Uno and she was trying to make her mind up. She started muttering "Eenie meanie, miny moe, catch a ###### (n-word) by the toe." :unsure:

Yet another time my two half brothers were at the table eating a bowl of cereal with our cousin. They were all no older than 12. My cousin lifted the bowl to drink the last of the milk and my grandma yelled at her not to do that as it was poor manners. My cousin pointed to my half brothers and whined "But they're doing it!" My grandma said "It's okay. They're Mexican." :lmao:

Damn she was racist. :mellow:
