GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

[JaxBill]

Just looked on my front porch (we come and go through the garage) and found two new phone books out there. Who the hell uses phone books these days? They went right into the recycling bin.

My MIL gives us the recent ones every year, even though we already get and recycle our own. Not only that, but she gives us ones from her house, so we live in the western suburbs and she gives us the northwestern suburbs, and a copy of the one from Lake Geneva because they have a lake house there. You know, just in case we ever wanted to call a store up there for something.This Christmas she gave us two disposable cameras to give our daughters. They are 3 and 1. We got the 3 year old her own digital camera. Who the hell uses a disposable camera now??

Parents sending middle school kids off to Boy Scout Camp or class trips to theme parks / water parks?

I like to tear them in half.

Enraged, I presume, that they don't have numbers like BR-549 any more.

FWIW, enjoyed War Horse today. Some corny plot twists but also some great camerawork and sweeping shots of English countryside. Long movie but the story kept moving.

Leaving Phx tomorrow and my wife's spoiled, illbehaved snotnosed little brat 5 year old niece behind for another year.

Me: SIL, control your kid

SIL: I'm on vacation too and I'm a single mom;

ME: grab another beer and gossip with my MIL about how poorly behaved her youngest grandchild is

 

[General Malaise]

This Alamo Bowl is fantastic.

Set up us some stories of ill behavior and poorly disciplined children.

This Alamo Bowl is fantastic.

Cloney Romo is 7-0 with his bowl picks, and was going to lay off of tonight's game... but read GooRoo's endorsement of Wash +10 at the last minute and went for it. So we're pumped. Great game so far.

Chuck E Cheese is pretty much from the devil. Blake spends so much time spending his hard won tickets for crap that won't last the day.

Found a local place called ITZ Entertainment that is soooo much better. One of the dining rooms has 8-10 screens all with sports. All You Can Eat Buffet that has better food. Laser tag, bumper cars, go-carts and more. Good times.

So I'm scrolling through this thread on my tablet as I'm watching the game and I just start cracking up uncontrollably at that post.Mrs. TF: What?TF: NothingMTF: What?TF: Nothing, just something onlineMTF: Well show meTF: You won't get itMTF: Oh, your stupid ifriendsTF: YepThen I laughed for another minute

 

[Dirkswish]

Lots of dudes intentionally watching romantic comedies in here.

whyohwhy?

Mila. That's why.

Are we really supposed to believe that an incredibly hot PIA like Mila would give up teh sex to a skinny, pale, goofy looking dork like Justin Timberlake? Come on...Chi-Mo mustachioed Bogart is more believable.

HEY!!!!!



The mustache is gone.

Well the child and her mother both recoil in horror when told "NO". SIL lays out food for the kid all day long. bowls of chocolate chips, cupcakes laid out, she had a bowl of sprinkles for dinner. She'll be 5 in two mths and weighs 32#'s. Father is a deadbeat in idaho. When the SIL became pregnant out of wedlock she decided to keep the kid and raise it on her own. My wife explained that she should probably have some sort of support system to raise the child. So instead of staying in Idaho(the kid was conceived during a night of bong hits and tequila shots) with the father, moving to Michigan to be near us or moving to Phoenix to be near her parents....she moves to Flagstaff AZ. ####### brilliant. Oh and the father successfully sued for joint custody. i listened in to a skype session with dad. Horrible.

The spiraling attitude that is the thread killer. Did Barry Sanders quit? Yes. Was that my fault? No. Tough pal- I buried a brother at 21. They hauled me out of class and said yer brother is dead- so sorry- see you. No help getting home. No compassion. Too bad. I went thru the floor of a car flying down the street. Skidded 20 feet and woke up face down in a puddle of mud. I am still here buddy. I worked my ### off in kitchens making peanuts with cuts and burns on my hands and face. Ever cook for 200 people in 2 hours with a chef scrutinizing every move you make while having a third degree burn on your right hand? I am in Kung Fu pal. Competitive enough for you? I have a family member that just had half his face cut off with cancer. You want tough? You go hug that man and tell him that he has dignity and pride. That is not a quitter. You have NO knowledge of my circumstances. Barry Sanders had Daddy call in for him and then hid behind a book. Sorry but I do not wear moccasins but if I had the gift of a Barry Sanders I know that I would never quit like he did and you would not either. I was in Cabo last summer and I was standing right next to Barry Sanders. He is a tool. He has a big chip on his little shoulder because he knows he is a Sally. He can write books but I will not buy them. You know what- retake your philosophy class or better yet examine yer referenced quote before you jump me. Pasty faced college bred guys like you can think about a LEGEND like Barry Sanders but I will always know him for being a quitter and until you can change history that is what he is and what he will always be....

Maybe I'm just a rube, but I love it. Its like I've watched three games already and there's at least one more to go, maybe 2-3. I'm hoping for a quadruple overtime with each team scoring over 100

 

[Ignoramus]

This Alamo Bowl is fantastic.

900 yards of offense and there's still another three-eighths to go.

I hope the punters get more playing time in this Tecmo Bowl. The white punter is slightly ahead of the green punter.

Nobody. I just typed out 'a quarter and a half' and then got to thinkinking about how mathematically that sounded funny so it became three-eighths.

Stupid announcer using the "word" "heighth" in this Alamo Bowl is not helping my argument to Mr. krista that he should not say heighth.

Also, this game is dumb.

ETA: Didn't realize was logged in as Mr. krista rather than me.

 

[cosjobs]

The most points scored in a college football Bowl game is 66, scored by Nebraska

against Northwestern in the 2000 Alamo Bowl



This record could be broken twice tonight

I was going to disagree that this game is dumb, but yeah, it's sort of stupid. I was at the Holiday Bowl last night, and this is a hell of a lot more entertaining than that sloppy mess.

Wife and I got some tests done as part of our application to get life insurance. One of my cholesterols came up as "elevated." Normal is up to 200, I'm at 222. I am concerned and plan to make this better, but my wife has gone completely off the rails and is now checking every single food we have in the house for something that I don't know what that makes it bad for me. She's going to have me eating like, lettuce and radishes for every meal now isn't she?

What was your LDL vs. HDL? My cholesterol is high except that is is all "good" stuff such that my doctor says I'll live forever. Unless your dangerous levels are bad, then it's nothing to worry about. ETA: Still this is krista.

How does this sound for a wing sauce? Any suggestions, criticisms, or critiques? I'm just making stuff up here based on what I have in the house.1 c. Frank's Red Hot1 T cayenne2 T butter (melted)3-4 cloves garlic2 T Red wine vinegar1/8 c. brown sugar1 T worchestershirejuice of one lime (50/50 on this)

Massive failure. Franks is already so vinegary that adding vinegar to it just made it a vinergary vinegar sauce. Lost the spice, the sweet, the taste, the everything. Just threw it out and made my awesome dry rub instead.
