GM's thread about nothing (37 Viewers)

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Also waiting on one more item to complete my SS gift. Unfortunately I won't be back in town until Friday. I have no idea how long it takes to ship over xmas, but my recipient may be kept waiting.

Also my recipient may already know who he is because I am really stupid.

I am sure he's too stuped to notice.My link

About to see an advance IMAX screening of the new Mission Impossible. I've never seen an IMAX. Am I going to get sick or something?

I sure do. We saw some sort of underwater IMAX show a few years ago and I had to close my eyes and curl up in the fetal position 15 minutes into the damn thing. I was queasy for at least an hour afterwards and had to give the car keys to my lady. Not my finest moment. But I'm sure you'll be fine.

This was many moons before the magical brownie discovery and it was early afternoon. But I get sick watching kids on a merry-go-around. I have no idea how Homer does it.

Overheard at the gym: The federal income tax was created to make up for the loss of liquor tax during the prohibition.

One of the interlocutors claimed to have been born in 1926, so he's either in the know or too far gone to remember correctly. He stood up at a 45 degree angle.

Tanner? History check? You were around then, right?

:rimshot:

Seriously, Trivaguy, is this true?

Income tax passed in 1913 I think. Prohibition wasn't until 1919.

Figured Paul Simon's "One Trick Pony" album would have BOATLOADS of songs that sound like his masterpiece "Late In The Evening", but I sort of feel like this is the musical version of the Cindy Crawford movie "Fair Game", which is horrendously awful, but for 30 glorious seconds exposes her bare breasts in a love scene with one of the less talented Baldwin Brothers...Dan or Steve or Theo. Not sure which.

Our membership is diverse and ranges in age from wet behind the ears to gray hair growing out of the ears. Our participants live anywhere from urbane, hip cities like Manhattan to remote, desolate, isolated depots like Bakersfield. Though we all mean well, most of us have faceless moderator targets on our backs like the ******* child of Ndomakun (like Vaccuum and Diahereah, I have no idea how this is spelled) Suh and James Harrison.

We like fart jokes and football, pictures of cats and men in moustaches, stories of drunken debauchery and romantic mishaps but most of all, we just kill time until the next Gadzooks story. We don't like fantasy baseball or shower dingleberry jokes, Olive Garden or insipid posters and we sure as hell don't like being bored. Still here? Good. Stick around. I'm sure in a few more days, this thread will be 10 pages longer, our livers will be ever closer to abect failure and YSR will lose something of import. Got a story? Share it. But make us laugh. For christ's sake, now that Woz posts here, we gotta find a humorous ballast. Help us help you.

A bunch of 30+ year old virgins. One of them had never kissed a girl. Oddly enough, none of them were wearing pointy ears, like Spork from Star Trek.

Thanks GM. That's the best welcome I've ever had to a board. I feel like I'm home. I've been here since cheatsheets.net but never got into the fray since I don't really care about the magic football ####. It was just a way to beat the hell out of a bunch of old buddies. These days I don't care bout all that...I just want to have fun. Gadzooks stories are the best.

Hmmm.......I think you're being smarmy.Since I assume a wine question is coming, we share an ad agency with Brennan Vineyards in Comanche, Texas. So we get a few case a year from them. I keep the cabs and merlots and share the rest with the staff.

I just got over my hangover from last night. I'm tempted to stay sober and go to bed early, but tomorrow is my year-end review and there's a pretty good chance I'm not going to like it one bit. I'm jumping back in with Sailor Jerry and diet coke. I'd post this in the drunk thread, but I'm sober and that would be cheating.

Oh, a female bartender slapped me last night. That's twice in two months--never been slapped in my life before. Apparently women have become more sensitive since the last time I was single.

Soooooo...Two jobs ago there was a paralegal who worked for me. Really sweet and kind-hearted woman, a bit older (probably early 60s by now), but one of those people that just seems to have everything go wrong for her, in her head at least.Company imploded in 2002 but we stayed in touch, on my end really just because she is a very good person and I always felt bad about how unhappy her life was. She really seemed to cling to me as I don't think she had very many people she trusted or who were kind to her. She moved to Minneapolis and then Montana and then back to MN. I've been worried about her at various times over the years as things never are going well. At one point I was extremely worried as she started sending me a bunch of her possessions and I thought she might be suicidal. Along the way I've just tried to be supportive and offer help where I can.So about a week ago I got an e-mail from her that was the usual litany of everything that had gone wrong for her in the few months since we'd last communicated. There was something odd about the e-mail in that I felt like she was setting up to ask me something but it was just a vague feeling. I received another e-mail from her a day or two later, which was unusual, and that was sparked even more concern as it was just an update to say that her claim for long-term disability had been denied or some such. Having not heard anything about this before it was especially odd.Today I received the following e-mail FROM HER CAT. You didn't read that wrong; she wrote it as if it were coming from her cat.

Dear Aunt Krista: Ah, what a life I lead taking care of mom. She is a disaster! This last "go round" with the wrist did me in. I don't know what she would have done without me! I have gotten her a couple of interviews but we don't have a permanent job and that worries me. I have applied for HUD relief for the house payment and sent her to a medical clinic with a "sliding fee" schedule - whatever that means because it is $60.00 per visit plus what ever else they do. At least mom got her meds refilled for 6 months.....after which time we better have a job. She has guaranteed me I won't be homeless in that I can bunk with you for a few months if need be. But, I would be very sad as mom and I have been together quite a long time...So if you know of any jobs please let us know as mom and I have the flexibility to move. Love, Us

OK, I just reread that and think I read it wrong the first time. She's just proposing that the cat would come live with us, not both of them, right? Sometimes it's hard to understand a cat when they e-mail.

But doesn't this mean they'd be separated? "But, I would be very sad as mom and I have been together quite a long time..."Stupid cats don't know how to write a proper e-mail.

I received another e-mail from her a day or two later, which was unusual, and that was sparked even more concern as it was just an update to say that her claim for long-term disability had been denied or some such. Having not heard anything about this before it was especially odd.Today I received the following e-mail FROM HER CAT. You didn't read that wrong; she wrote it as if it were coming from her cat.

Dear Aunt Krista: Ah, what a life I lead taking care of mom. She is a disaster! This last "go round" with the wrist did me in. I don't know what she would have done without me! I have gotten her a couple of interviews but we don't have a permanent job and that worries me. I have applied for HUD relief for the house payment and sent her to a medical clinic with a "sliding fee" schedule - whatever that means because it is $60.00 per visit plus what ever else they do. At least mom got her meds refilled for 6 months.....after which time we better have a job. She has guaranteed me I won't be homeless in that I can bunk with you for a few months if need be. But, I would be very sad as mom and I have been together quite a long time...So if you know of any jobs please let us know as mom and I have the flexibility to move. Love, Us

That's a pretty special brand of crazy.

I think -fish- is hiring

I think she's saying that if she kills herself, you get the cat. But we really need to talk to Tanner or SLB.

Soooooo...Two jobs ago there was a paralegal who worked for me. Really sweet and kind-hearted woman, a bit older (probably early 60s by now), but one of those people that just seems to have everything go wrong for her, in her head at least.Company imploded in 2002 but we stayed in touch, on my end really just because she is a very good person and I always felt bad about how unhappy her life was. She really seemed to cling to me as I don't think she had very many people she trusted or who were kind to her. She moved to Minneapolis and then Montana and then back to MN. I've been worried about her at various times over the years as things never are going well. At one point I was extremely worried as she started sending me a bunch of her possessions and I thought she might be suicidal.

So, I'm told this is the thread to break into FFA with? Been hanging around since yellow board, haven't posted much. Looking for the drunk thread but can't find. Heard this is the next best thing?

-fish- as resident counsel, can you rule on this hearsay?I'm inclined to have it quashed, but really I just like saying that.

If you're not sure, we can call in the big guns. Isn't woz hanging out here now?

Are you talking to yourself?

Virgin Diaries on TLC.

Well whatever you do André Previn, please ensure you DO NOT provide us with any sort of description of this show. Not like anybody here would be remotely interested in such a show or anything.

A bunch of 30+ year old virgins. One of them had never kissed a girl. Oddly enough, none of them were wearing pointy ears, like Spork from Star Trek.

So the Virgins in this show were men?megaepicfailfailfail

Hardly. They also had three female roommates from British Columbia whose biological clocks were going RICK...RICK...RICK.

I've got a horribly uncomfortable situation with my current paralegal. I'm all set for now.
