GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

[Notorious T.R.E.]

A few seconds after doing this, I noticed a slight burning scent in the air. I mother freaking burned a hole through the carpet in my stairs. not just a tiny hole, but a giant hurking black hole of burnt carpet that now greets us at the top of the stair case.Yes, look at me. I have stairs.Rover, do you think I could borrow Knuckles every other week for cleanings?

We have stairs too. I vacuum them all the time. What caused the fire? Do you own some sort of gas-powered vacuum?

Maybe standing on the motor and mashing it into the carpet did it? Just a guess.

Oops. I thought I read that he put his foot on the stairs next to the vac to keep it from falling.

 

[dharmapunk]

Not going there from work. Guessing it has to do with 2 oz?

Yes. Just tried to PM you but you're not receiving any new messages.

I always wondered where those "2oz" references came from.This almost made me piss myself.

 

[shuke]

Wife's brother in town from Detroit. I volunteered to clean our house last night as she had to work late. I have carpeted stairs and attempted to vaccuum (like diahreah, i have no idea how this word is spelled) them last night as they looked pretty dingy. Now, I'm not one who is permitted to operate the vaccuum very often and I suck at cleaning in general, but last night I think I operated my last vaccuum cleaner and spearheaded my last cleaning campaign.I'm not sure how one is supposed to go about vaccuuming stairs, but as I was attempting to do so, I put the vaccuum on one stair and used the hose thingie to try and suck up the debris from a top stair. To keep the vaccuum from toppling over, I planted my foot on top of the base. A few seconds after doing this, I noticed a slight burning scent in the air.

What the hell kind of vaccuum do you have?

I had lunch with this gal (Greek FTW) and it was rather fun. A little background, her mother is French, her father German & although she was born in the USA, she grew up in France. Anyhow, she tells me that her 17 yo son came to her the other day and said he thought he was ready to start having sex. She replied "son, from your POV the first time you have sex is going to be a short hug and then you go brag to your friends. From her POV for the first time, it will be a short hug and then she'll go home and start making wedding plans. I suggest you stick to jacking off in the shower."I love this gal.

How is she Greek?

It's a fair question.

THEY EITHER ATE AT A GREEK RESTAURANT OR SHE LIKES IT IN THE ### YOU MORONS.

So I called a girls HS basketball game last night. One of the players was named T#### Patrick. I may or may not have called her Tera Patrick on the air on at least 2 occasions.

Anyone in here have luck with a long distance marriage?

I have the opportunity to apply to a job 3 hours away - the first job opportunity about which I've been excited in 2+ years. I ran it past Mr. YSR tonight, and he's excited that I'm excited, but understandably upset.

Can this type of thing work? It's an easy 3 hour drive, and our work schedules would allow weekend visitations every weekend.

Anyone have any experience?

 

[bentley]

I don't personally have experience with it, but I work fairly closely with at least three guys that live in Dallas and work in Austin, which is about a three hour drive. They've all seemed to manage it fairly well. They've all been married quite a while though. Seems like it would be fairly tough to do right off the bat.

We did it...for six weeks. So OK, I actually do have several friends who've done this for longer, years even, and oddly enough they have some of the best marriages I know of and are all still married.

If I might brag on the talented Mr. krista for a minute...yesterday he got a call from someone at the hands-down best restaurant in Memphis (which is not as close to being the tallest midget as you might think, as this place is led by a James Beard semifinalist, Food & Wine best new chef winner), Restaurant Iris, offering him a job. He accepted today and starts tomorrow (he'll keep his other job for a couple of weeks, too). This is positively huge for someone who only started cooking professionally about six months ago.

I only wish for some kind of amazing cornhole at Cabin Owner's cabin, where OH can cook for all of us. In the meantime, I'll tell my Memphis friends to be on the lookout for extra awesomeness at Iris.

Print Font: +-A woman took to the streets Wednesday to find her lost Chihuahua, and she won’t clothe herself or eat until the dog comes home.

Arlene Mossa Corona wore a bikini and held up a sign with pictures of her dog Chispita in the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive and Genesee Avenue in San Diego, Calif., on Wednesday morning.

Story: Owners try GPS devices to track their pets

Corona, a student at University of California San Diego, said she tried everything to find her dog, from calling the pound to contacting a pet psychic.

..The only other option was to wear her bikini in the 50-degree weather and not eat until she finds the dog, Corona said in an email. She listed her phone number and multiple pictures of Chispita on her signs.

Story: Wayward pooch, owner reunited after 3 months apart

“Against my family's wishes, I will be skipping my family Thanksgiving celebration this year and standing out there alone in an effort to be reunited with my dog,” she said. “Thanksgiving won't be the same without Chispita.”

Sadly, in the SE direction. But I'm writing the cover letter now. Really nervous. Crazy how that can happen with a job you really want and think you can get....BTW, the GMTAN cornhole (fishing, Vegas, Nica) 100% comes with an OH cooking clause. Thought that was established.
