GM's thread about nothing (24 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

You couldn't pay me enough to go near a mall this entire month. My commute home was 20 minutes longer than it needed to be today. Why? Because of all the jackholes trying to get into the mall. Slowed the entire highway down. This is why I do the bulk of my shopping at Rite Aid.

Took JR to the mall today. Got him on the carousel, where he immediately started crying for the train instead. Bought train tickets, handed them to the conductor, and he immediately started going ballistic wanting the bounce house instead. I briefly considered it, but chose to give him a free beating and ride home. In conclusion, I like your idea better.

Yeah, well....I'm about to do the second stupidest thing you can do this time of year. I'm going to the gym to run. Hopefully, there's an open treadmill that will support my new weight class.

Hanging out with a buddy tonight. He's been drinking most of the day and just cracked his 20th beer. I'm halfway done #2. Someone's got some catching up to do

Got a r/c helicopter for Christmas. Took it for a spin after a bottle or so of wine last night. Now have a slightly less functional r/c helicopter.

My brother used to do this around that age. My parents had to splash water in his face a couple times to get him to snap out of it.

Both my kids did this. Agree wif Furley that the puff of air is a good solution after giving them a few seconds for their face to turn beet red. It's quite a show.

Sorry, I misread the first post before my reply. I agree that a puff of air will be all that's needed for a 2 month old. My brother at the time was older (over 1 year old) when he did the non-breathing thing.

If I ever come in here complaining that I've gained weight, please remind me that I just ate at a Brazilian steakhouse and that these are choices I make willingly.

I didn't know you could gain weight from doing this.

[*]I texted some of you that my uncle called ahead to my house for Christmas dinner to make sure that I had a full bottle of Skyy for him (I did), and predicted that it would mean a good day. He didn't disappoint. Pretty sure the highlight was when my mother (his sister) was going on and on about mass and how beautiful it was. Now my mom goes to church like three times a week, and my uncle is a retired psychologist who drinks and gets high every day, and I never realized how much he is like Arthur from that early 80s movie, called Arthur, until one of you posted a clip of it the other day. Whereupon, the following colloquy transpired:

Uncle: [holding a vodka rocks in one hand and Miller Lite in the other] Now Janice, all this talk of church during the Christmas season reminds me of a question I've always had.

Mom: [excited that her substance-using/abusing brother finally wants to talk about "the reason for the season"] Oh, okay, what is it?

Uncle: Did the Corinthians ever write back?

Cue uproarious Arthur laughter by my uncle. Others chuckle but stifle because they know better. My mother and some other hens shoot my uncle a look. Sure enough, he looks around with shoulders shrugged (nearly spilling both drinks in the process), "no honestly, I don't know, did they? HAHAHAAHA! We wrote them all those letters, did they ever write us back? HAHAHAHA!

Wife and I stayed overnight at the swanky Allison Inn and had a very enjoyable stay, although I would probably never spend that sort of dough for a room on myself. The room was very nice and it had all the luxurious amenities I don't have at home...fireplace by the bed, balcony, push button shades, oversized tub with a moveable wall so I could watch TV from the tub. Fabulous room. Fabulous view. Fabulous stay.

However, at one point during our time there, I went to pop an Alieve for my sore and aching back. As I went to toss it back into my throat and wash it down with a Widmer IPA, I missed my mouth and the pill tumbled onto the carpeted floor by the bed. I squatted down, grabbed the pill and went to toss it back into my mouth but just before I could get it in there, a voice from inside my head screamed out loud to me and halted me in my tracks...

WHAT KIND OF AN ANIMAL SKEETS ON THE FLOOR????.

So I threw the pill away and went about killing the pain with booze and brownies.

The End.

P&S, thank you Truck and Shuke!

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!.

Just got home from work. I leave tomorrow AM for Arizona/Mexico. I don't have to go back to work until the 7th. I'm about to pour myself a tequila. Wife is making dinner. House is clean. Life is goooooood.

yes, they do just do that some times. Sure, it freaks you out for about 5 seconds, but it's not like he's just going to go and stop breathing. It's normal.

Got Star Wars Episodes 4-6 for Christmas and sat down to view them last night. First time in at least 20 years, I think. Tore through Episode 4, and then popped in Empire Strikes Back. I can't imagine this to be true, but it may be possible that I never saw ESB growing up. I didn't recognize anything. Definitely saw ROTJ though.

My husband's favorite part of our movie night - other than the constant comparison of our relationship to C3PO (me) and R2D2 (him) - was in ESB when they are taking Han off to put him in the carbonite: Leia finally comes around and tells him she loves him. His response? "I know".

Oof.

The bitter cold forces me inside.Plus, I don't belong to a fancy gym. If my rec center were a bar, it would be a dive bar with Hamms on tap, Whitesnake on the Jukebox, broken pool sticks and Homer bartending. Yeah, it might get an influx around this time of year, but the entire place is about as popular as an STD on a porno shoot.

4 miles. Back feels back to normal. Pains all gone. Feeling loose and feeling good. Also, signed back up for Body Pump for the new year. Just me and a bunch of portly women in spandex. Or as Gadzooks calls it, paradise.

Funny thing is that at my advanced age my back is fine and strong. I could probably give Tre a piggyback ride up the tallest hill in Iowa.

bad joke...just figured everybody in the world had seen ESB a gazillion times like I have. The "I know" line was a big hit in 1982 or so. I think I've used it with every single woman who has ever been drunk enough to tell me they 'love me'. Anyhow...welcome to the best Star Wars movie of them all. It's ESB followed by Star Wars (original) and then a long drop down to Return of the Jedi. There just aren't anymore after that. Nope. Just 3. Lucas surely never attempted to destroy the entire franchise on three more films after he sold his soul and forgot how to create a compelling story. Nope.

It had to have been pretty 'risque' for the time to use a word like "damn". I wonder what film had the first 'F' word in it. I can't imagine how difficult that must have been to get that word through all the red tape and onto the big screen.

When did the first hogans make an appearance?
