GM's thread about nothing (26 Viewers)

I had a bag of Skittles with my lunch. I eat a bag the same way everytime. Open it up completely, letting all the Skittles lay available on my desk. I don't seperate them into colors, but I eat them one at a time: all the yellow, then all the green, then all the red, then all the purple, then all the orange.I might have issues.

I do the same with M&Ms, except that I group them into pairs based on color. I then eat them pair by pair, so that my back teeth are getting an equal amount of sugar. Then, I have the scraps. It's tough, but I make it through.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes." This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.
 
You guys are weird.

When I eat M&Ms I just eat them right out of the bag.

Except for the blue ones. I put those in my rectum.

Serious question: Do you think stuff like this is pure accident, or is it the product of bored writers with a great sense of humor?How could they NOT see that double entendre? Triangle bush, ok, that could just be a coincidence. With a magic button that makes fireworks go off? :lmao:

They see it, they know it, they want to see how far they can go with something.See my "tigger please" post from a few days ago. All these guys want to do is make themselves laugh.

exactly the same way here except I eat four at a time, and I mix yellows and greens (two of each) because I don't like them very much.
 
Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince Doofenshmirtz;

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

I shall call on you once again.

Greetings everyone,

Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready for some football. I've been writing this weekly thread for a long time and by now most of you know what's up. The idea in this thread is always about your ideas not just mine. We(The FBG Community) welcome differing POV, we welcome statistical analysis, we even welcome the ole gut around here. What we don't welcome are folks who are so closed minded they would rather tear apart the opposing poster than engage in any meaningful posts or exchange of ideas. And that's all I'm going to say about that. (Thanks Forrest)

One other thing I want to touch on and let you all know upfront. There is a good chance many weeks you will see a very slimmed down version. I have a lot more on my plate in my real life fighting crime and evil in my MOP cape. Seriously though I just finished a degree, am going into a fairly time consuming lifestyle, and in general my leisure time is getting cut way back so please understand. I actually was about 50/50 if I should even start this up again but I will try and do my best to help where needed.

Let's go through a few week 1 rules I always like to remind folks about.

1-This thread is really designed for redraft. If you play in dynasty and have the same players year in and year out you will get frustrated in here, especially if I start picking on your guys. So do us a favor and if you want to discuss a certain RB, let the rest of us know that it's coming from a dynasty owner. In dynasty I might understand why you are playing Delone Carter week 1, but in redraft it doesn't make much sense.

2-Stick with what you know over the unknown.

3-Don't jump to conclusions on the 1st week. I know we are all pseudo scouts for the NFL and we always see it crystal clear on who should be starting but try and keep an open mind to the overall situation.

4-Check the OL/DL/LB injuries on the weekly NFL injury report or simply IR...we won't be using IR in this thread to mean injured reserve but rather the injury report. These 3 positions are vital when trying to guess what a player might do.

5-I use a color system to highlight players that I think might be overlooked or are being over hyped that week. I can highlight ADP each week and bat about 75% on the season and shoot to the tops of the "experts" but that's pointless and not what the thread is designed for. Green is for money or money play of the week. Red means stop, don't play this RB if you have better options. Blue usually means injury. I don't have a set number for each color, just call them like I see it.

And finally, there is an Asst Coach's forum that I know folks wish was incorporated more into the SP but we should honor the rules here. I don't mind the WDIS questions as much but many posters don't want to read it so if you have something that would go beyond this thread just shoot me a PM and include your scoring rules etc...

I am. Friend of a friend. Figure I'll ask him weird questions about mascotting and put in my blog.
 
So if you're with a 19 year old virgin and put it in for a minute but she says to stop because it hurts...did you bag a 19 year old virgin?

Need a ruling here.
