BTW, I used the word Skyrim as a verb in class today.

Me: It's almost Thanksgiving vacation. Anyone doing anything cool?

Students: *mumble mumble* What about you, DP?

Me: I'll probably just go home and Skyrim.

Students: Wait. Did you just use the word Skyrim as a verb?

Me: *laughing* Yea, but it sounds pornographic, doesn't it? Like 'I'm going home with Tera Patrick so she can skyrim me.'

Students:

Me: You know, it's times like this I wonder how I haven't been fired yet.

I'm not allowed into Canada.

Is that really a big loss?"I'm not allowed to eat at iHop anymore."

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I like Canada AND IHOP. :(

 

[dharmapunk]

I'm not allowed into Canada.

Relax. It's my motherland. I can get you in. I have clout. Seriously: you aren't allowed in Canada? Really? What can you possibly do to piss off Canadians that bad? Rape a moose on a busy intersection? Criticize the local beer?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Yeah, I'm not reading that.

Riveting off-season baseball chat today?

Chat is Skyrim ( ), baseball offseason, muppets (I'm alone in not caring about them or another movie involving them)and a discussion on whether we should go to Buffalo or Rochester as opposed to Baltimore for the auction in March. Jethro is adding his 16th kid around then so he can't go to Balmer.

March cornhole at the Sundowner in Niagara Falls, Ont?

In your native tongue: "¡es posible!"

I might be able to get in, but I assure you if the two of us are in a car and we go through a checkpoint, the car will be pulled over and I will be strip searched. So...uh...add a couple hours to our 'drive time'.

I've never cornholed before, but gawd damn it, if I'm going to do it it's going to be with TRE in a strip club.

 

[Gadzooks]

Oh #### me. I'm drunk enough to have sex with one of Gadzooksies grammas.

I had a dream last night that Gadzooks made out with my wife in front of me.

Who is creepier? You for saying these things, or me for being aroused by them?

I need a bunch of new clothes, and I think I'd pay someone who knows what they're doing to shop for me. Most of my current clothes have been acquired through women over the years. I'm not looking forward to doing this. Advice from non-:style: people with taste appreciated.

[Bogart]

Phone call with the soon to be ex-wife:

Bogart: Did you spend $1300 yesterday on some large purchase?

Ex-Wife: No. Hey, how did you know about that? That was an error with my check, but that is with my new account, not our joint account.

B: Mint.com just sent me a "Large Purchase" alert. I didn't look to see which account it was with.

E: You should not have access to that account. I mean I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't have permission to access that account. You need to call Mint and get that fixed right away.

B: Yeah, I'll get right on that. Hey, while we are at it.....how do you want to handle the whole divorce thing?

E: What do you mean?

B: Do you want to go though one lawyer? Mediation? I really don't see the need for two lawyers.

E: Whatever you want to do. I don't see it getting ugly, so how ever YOU want to pay for it. Remember, I didn't ask for this.

B: Fine, I will pick up the kids Thursday morning.

Man, my ex dropped $8-10K on #### right after she moved out. Even took out a signature loan by forging my signature. Not good, dude.

I'm not too worried about her spending too much money, just because it's not there.I have already applied for my new checking account and we have agreed on what I am paying for prior to the divorce being final and child support kicking in.The last few weeks and especially days have been the suck with my stepdad fading fast and my own crappy health, her whole tone just set me off and made me realize I need to get the divorce done with ASAP.

didn't it happen like 5 years ago?

He wasn't too horrible when he was in Chicago.

No, but wouldn't you want to give the new kid a chance? You know what you're getting with Orton (which isn't much) so I think there are decent odds the Caleb kid is just as good, if not better. Picking up Orton makes some sense for security reasons, but this new Martz offense isn't what Orton ran before with Chicago. Frankly, Bulger or David Garrard may be a better option here.

I never said I thought he was going to be picked up by Chicago (probably won't) nor did I say I would be happy if they did. Thanks for the input though, Captain Shark Pool.

You DID cancel all joint credit cards, right? My sister is about to embark on a divorce. I'm pretty sure there are 5-week old puppies with more functional knowledge about how a divorce should be handled than my sister. I think everything she knows about divorce she learned on Falcon Crest.

Oh yes. We aren't even on the same cell phone plan at this point. We have one car payment that is still in both of our names, but I am taking care of the payments on that. Other than that, everything else is in either my name or hers.

I went to Colorado State at the same time as Hanie (we were freshman the same year, but he graduated a year earlier because he didn't insist on getting black out drunk 4 times a week) so I've seen a lot of his play, and I've never been impressed with the dude. He looked good in his one half of work in the playoffs last year, but I wouldn't have much faith in him if I were a Bears fan.

 

[General Malaise]

Very good, Bogart. Yeah, my sister is still on her husbands cell phone plan and can't for the life of her figure out why he flips out every time she calls/texts/faxes/tweets/woofs her...her....oh hell, I don't even know what to call this guy. Her 'friend'? She tells us after dinner (after all the kids were done eating and downstairs) that she "misses her friend's dog". Good to know she is embarking on one of the hardest things she'll ever have to go through in life and the one thing she really misses right now isn't security or stability or her family in tact....it's her lover's little yappie Woz dog. I could have strangled her right there at the table.

Pretty sure she is distantly related to Nero.

Need help on a big decision.

Taking my son to Redsfest this year, where you can meet/get pics with/get autographs from a bunch of current and former players. It's a two day thing, Fri and Sat. My son says every player on the team is his favorite but he really likes Bruce, Votto, Phillips. Votto and Rolen are only going to be there Friday night. However, I won a lottery to some exclusive autograph session with Cueto on Saturday.

I've never been to this thing and have no idea what the lines are like for the open autograph sessions. I guess they have some kids only lines which will be good.

Friday or Saturday?

 

[shuke]

Just checked last year's attendance. 8,747 on Friday and 13,034 on Saturday.

Friday it is.
