GM's thread about nothing (30 Viewers)

'General Malaise said:
Dateline: 2am

Location: Downtown Eugene 7/ll across from motel

Summary: A very drunk and disoriented General Malaise has been wondering the streets of Eugene, OR after his Ducks lost to USC. He is armed with two metals flasks half full of Jameson, a pipe full of marijuana and brain that quit functioning at 6pm. The bars have closed and GM just turned down an offer to go back to a hotel room with a 275 pound woman and her male cousin for some kinky sex games. The couple traded menthol cigarettes to GM for hits of weed and shots of Jameson and despite his condition was able to politely decline the invite. Instead, GM was going to hit the 7/11, but 2-3 Big Bites and return to his motel room.

Unfortunately, 7/11 didn't have any fresh big bites and it would take 30-40 minutes to make more. GM told the woman at 7/11 that he would just 'hang out' and read a Penthouse while the hot dogs cooked, but the woman looked uncomfortable and pointed out a neighboring Mexican joint that was still open and served better food. Her words.

So GM walked next door, stood in a long line full of drunken college kids. By a stroke of luck, the gentleman immediately ahead of him was a sharp dressed Mexican man with a cowboy hat and lots of turquoise. When he ordered, he ordered in Spanish. It blew GM away. So much so that when GM got up to order, he slurred out "I'll have exactly what that man just ordered". The lady tried to explain to him that the man ordered two huge burritos, one for his wife back home and is GM sure he wants two huge burritos?

15 minutes later, GM arrived to his motel room, awoke his buddy by flipping on lights and the TV and began to destroy the burritos like a land shark. Many hours later, GM awoke to the sound of the TV and his buddy taking pictures of him, burrito fixings all over the bed. :unsure:
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Pretty selfish of you skipping the 3 way. Fish would never do that.

Geez. As a new dad that just absolutely rips my heart out. Hopefully since I have twins they may get deterred from bullies b/c there are 2 of them...but then again, can't stop 6 older kids from being jerks if they want to.
I hope so too GB.

GM's post reminded me just how out of it I was Friday night at the concert. Still piecing things together. The good news was that the second the band hit the stage I snapped out of it and was able to enjoy the show.

Afterward I was still pretty lit. For some reason I decided to be offended by some of the young hipsters (as opposed to us aging ones) hanging outside the theater after the show. There was one couple that caught my attention. The girl was a dead-ringer for Talia Shire as Adrian at the beginning of "Rocky". She and her dude were wearing Pixies t-shirts (which I couldn't decide was ironic on purpose or not).

I decided she needed a good injection of shtick:

Me: Wow! What a great show? Amirite?

Adrian: Umm hmmm. It was good.

Me: It was awesome! I'm so glad they played that Fight Club song!

Adrian: :smirks: Fight Club song? It's called 'Where is My Mind?'

Me: What? Pretty sure it's the Fight Club song or Theme From Fight Club.

Adrian: No, no it's not.

Me: Anyway. Hey, how about them playing that Monkey Song?!? I love that!

Adrian: :sighs: That's called 'Monkey Gone to Heaven'...it's on the album 'Doolittle'

Me: Yeah, Monkey Doolittle. I LOVE that album.

Then my wife dragged me away.
:lmao: :lmao:
 
My wife's, cousin's, mother in law lived deep in the south, had to go to NY for some reason or other. She had never left her home town before and was petrified to have to leave to go to a big city. Her friends had warned her that NY was a very dangerous place and that there was a very high level of crime. But, because she had to go, she decided that she would stay in the most expensive hotel in NY. She figured that way, there had to be good security there. When she arrived, she checked into her hotel and boarded the elevator. She walked in with her bag in hand and following her in were three tall black men.Remembering what her friends had said, she was very nervous. One of the men asked her to "hit the floor", as the door closed. The elderly woman dropped her bag and dropped to the floor...The three men explained to her that they only meant to hit their floor button.They helped her up as she was quite shaken and she got off at her floor. When the day arrived for her to check out, she went to pay the bill only to find her bill had already been paid and that the person that paid it had left her a note. The note read, "Thanks for the best laugh I've ever had!, Reggie Jackson"100% true story
:lmao:Awesome.

Actual, legal spelling of her name: La-a

Pronunciation of her name: Ladasha
I have a cousin who's a teacher and she asked me how I thought I'd pronounce this name in her class, "L-A."

Answer: Pronounced "LaDasha"

Seriously.

My wife is a grade school teacher and has some strange names to report at times.

Oddly enough, the strangest name of a kid I heard was not from my wife's class but via an Ultrasound Tech when my wife was pregnant. The Ultrasound tech said she recently had a pregnant gal come in for a look at things, and this gal had a small child with her too. Her kid's name...

La-A

Pronounced: La Dash Uh

To me, that is either pronounced La Uh, La A or La Hyphen Uh.

People scoffed when I reported that my wife's best friend had a girl at her school named Le-a (pronounced, "Ledasha")...but it is indeed 100% verified true.
What a bunch of unoriginal ####s.

Speaking of kids, what do you guys do for punishments?

Our 6 year old is having more and more difficulty listening lately. He definitely seems hyperactive and is constantly loud or just acting crazy, and the problem is exacerabated by my wife's migraines. Seems like there is a lot of stress in our household lately.

I know some part of this is him just being a kid, but it is like he can't help himself from running around or doing crazy slapstick physical comedy type stuff.
If I had to picture your son, this is exactly how I would picture him GB
WHAT THE #### IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
it means that his dad probably takes pictures of how much food he can fit in his mouth and posts them on message boards
Speaking of which, the next generation is already in training for this popular sport. She's adapted the GM angry style
Oof, already rockin' the cybrow.

Verbatim.

Our punishment typically involves taking away something they really like, though I don't really have to punish them very much. My kids are pretty well behaved. That said, the two of them fight like Ralph and Alice Kramden. They are 19 months apart and are around each quite a bit, but my lord...they will fight about anything and everything. I'm pretty sure that one day, they will kill each other over who gets to push the elevator button first.

But they don't limit their bickering to things like toys or who gets the remote or what show they will watch or who gets the bigger half of the cookie. They will fight about STUFF IN THE FUTURE THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET. :hot: :hot: :hot:

What do I mean when I say that, you ask? The other day, Kellen said he wanted to invent an 'umbrella hat' and planned to do that when he was older. Cooper told him that he was pretty sure an 'umbrella hat' had probably already been invented but in the rare event it hadn't been invented yet, he would make one before his brother. They nearly went to blows over who would build an umbrella hat first. My wife had almost had to pull the car over. When she told me this later, I looked at them like "Really? REALLY?"...and they nearly went to blows AGAIN trying to explain what happened. Unreal.
Kellen, wait.
7.5 - Hottest chick wearing a hat that looks like an umbrella.
:lmao: :lmao:
:lmao: and it's called a Brockumbrella! :hot:
He also lent his name to a unique rainhat, shaped like a miniature umbrella and to be worn at games during showers in lieu of retreating to the concourse. The product was called the "Brockabrella".
Sorry about your troubles, SLB. :heart: to you and Cal.
This and yes and :goodposting:
Thanks guys.

Is it possible to have a pinched nerve in the middle of the upper arm? I've self diagnosed and need to know how to treat this.

In the last 24 hours, whenever I bend my right arm at a 90-degree angle - say, to type on a laptop that's on my lap, cook or iron - I develop a horrible pinching/stinging feeling in a very specific spot on the back of my upper arm after about 2-3 minutes. The pain is equidistant between my shoulder and elbow and is directly at the bottom of my upper arm when its in the "making a bicep" position.

I don't know enough about anatomy to know whether a nerve can be affected in that spot, but whatever is going on is causing some real problems. Any suggestions? Ice? Heat? Electrostim? Stretching?
Romo running things. Respect.
<_< I actually considered using this as an excuse to lie around for a day or two, but he's so bad at housework (purposefully, methinks) and I'm so Type A when it comes to that stuff... just not going to happen. :kicksrock:
No way, we never do this. :unsure:

what's he trying to prove?

Oh yeah, Shuke, thanks again for posting that foot exercise. I do it before and after my walk and at night before I go to bed. It has made BIG difference in my foot pain. I started thinking I may have gout or something. Thanks for the paranoia inducing commercials big pharma!!!

ETA Has anybody heard from BFred or DW lately? Miss those guys. I hope all is well. :(

Just called my wife over to read this post. Her kids (my stepkids) are 18 months apart and I was about to check if GM was living above our garage.

The wife and I at the concert. I'm in the plaid shirt. She's the hooker with her bra straps hanging out (she had been wearing a jacket)

:lmao: Wife reminding me of some stuff that I somehow forgot. Stoner/Hipster/Hippy kid bumped into my wife as we're walking down the aisle to our seats. Guy rudely didn't say 'excuse me' or anything.

Wife: Excuse me. I wasn't walking here or anything.

Hippy: (just looks around obliviously)

Me: Yeah, she was talking to you, kid.

Hippy: (duhhhh)

Me: Hey, why don't you go outside and occupy F street.

yeah, that's nuts. I had to check out of there after a while due to sheer jealousy.But let me tell you this, if I so much as find a $5 dollar bill in a box of junk in my basement or garage, I ain't leaving the place until every single box/shelf/jar/bag has been rifled through and turned upside down. How in the world does that guy not have an excevator in there right now digging for more gold/silver? Every freaking time he goes back into the garage, he comes back with like 600 rare silver coins. Then he like...takes naps or just hangs out. How is he not living in there right now?

same here. i'd have emptied every single box, bag, etc. in that thing the first day.

No kidding. I'd take one/some of the run-of-the-mill coins and go buy a metal detector.
 
we currently have 17 hours to watch on our DVR. That's pretty sad, no?
I'm about there since I've been out of town for two weeks. I'll be caught up tonight :bag:
60+ hours currently.Ion or some channel on DTV reran the entire series of The Wire and we recorded it. Haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
Glad you mentioned this. My husband hasn't seen a single episode. I gave the entire series to my brother on DVD a couple of Christmases ago. Ergo, I asked my brother if we could pick up the series when we are in town this weekend. Cannot wait to watch it all again.I got chills last night watching Anthony Bourdain walking around with Felicia Pearson.He referenced a quote from Stephen King:... and Snoop (Felicia Pearson). The latter is perhaps the most terrifying female villain to ever appear in a television series. When you think of Chris and Snoop, think of John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, only smart.

Man, STLB....that just sucks about Cal. I can't believe the older kids told him they were hacking into your computer. What a horrible thing to say to Cal. I really hope this turns around for him and if you have another big gambling score, I think you should be "Jenny" a horse. She's a hero, IMO. Standing up for others is a lesson I've tried to impart on my sons and it seems to have sunk in with Coop. There's a kid in his class named Spencer who lost his mom to cancer. Another kid in the class gave Spencer some crap for not having a mom and Spencer cried. Apparently, Coop told the kid that wasn't a nice thing to say and told him to stop. Never been more proud in all my life.
:thumbup:My wife and I have always tried to teach our boys to never look down on anyone or pick on anyone.When my youngest was here at my school he was also in my homeroom. We had this other kid in the class named Ben. Ben had a lot of issues. Small for his age, moderate emotional issues, and a learning disability. Pretty tough stuff to deal with when you're 13.One day our homeroom was supposed to play in an intramural game at lunch. It was some wacky game like capture the flag but it involves two footballs, flags, a couple of hula-hoops, and a football field (not kidding). Anyway not everyone showed up and my class was short players. My son sees Ben walking by and calls him over. Ben protests and says "I suck at sports!" A couple of other kids don't want Ben to play. My boy tells them to shut up and takes Ben and shows him exactly how to play "goalie" or "jailkeeper" or whatever the hell it is. We end up winning the game and Ben made several crucial "outs" during the game. My son and a couple of other kids started chanting Ben, Ben, Ben towards the end of the game. I wasn't there but I heard about it after lunch from two girls that were there. They said they had never seen Ben actually act happy to be the center of attention. I couldn't have been more proud of my son.The next morning I got an email from Ben's mom. She said that he told her all about "winning" the game when he came home. She didn't realize that it was my son that had helped him out. She wanted me to thank the "great kids" in my homeroom for treating Ben like he mattered. :cry:
Awesome.I really wish there was a manual you could read to ensure your kids grow up like this.
My kid isn't going to cure cancer or run a Fortune 500 company. Getting him up in the morning is like moving mountains. He also doesn't understand why he should take out the trash or walk the dogs. Hell we're sweating (just a little) over whether or not he's got enough units to graduate HS right now. The same thing was true with his older brother. But the one thing that my wife and I take pride in is that we raised a couple of "good people". Back when my brother in law passed away I had a bunch of people come up and tell me how thoughtful my sons were and how helpful they were. If only they would stop eating me out of house and home and not leave dirty socks under the couch.
This reminds me of when I took my little girl to a gopher basketball game there was this kid, probably about 10 years old there sitting in front of us with his dad. When he turned around and noticed her, he told his dad they needed to switch seats because he realized his dad was sitting in front of her and she couldn't see, even though she hadn't even looked at the court yet because she was too busy with her Mountain Dew and popcorn. That really impressed me and I made sure to let his dad know. Things like curing cancer or running a fortune 500 company I think are out of a parents control in most ways, but little things like helping out the little guy who's getting picked on or looking out for the little girl sitting behind you I think are true marks of a great parent. Nice job, Tanner. St. L. Bob as well. Your love for your kids shows in yoru posts oh my god i'm turning gay all of a sudden. I need a shot.

Wow, they gave the MVP to Verlander. :golfclap:
16 wins after a Tigers loss. Last pitcher to match that was Steve Carlton in 1972.When he started his 12 game winning streak, the Tigers and Indians were tied for first. When it ended, they had already clinched./nerditup
He definitely had a great year, but these are weird stats to pull out.
Yeah, measuring the worth of your ace by how many times he stopped a losing streak, crazy stuff eh.
