Think we're buying another house in Nicaragua; entering into a contract next weekend.Houses in Nica all have names, I suppose since they don't have addresses. The one we're buying is called Casa Almendro ("almond" in Spanish). Any good shticky or non-shticky ideas to rename this one?(The other one was bought we called Casa Camila based on my best friend/cat of 18 years' name. )

casa de GMTAN :duh:

Damn, posted before I saw this one. This has to be it, no?A twitter feed, a FB group, a direct link, and a house in Nicaragua?Epic.

I am finally getting around to seeing Elite Squad. I saw Elite Squad 2 last month and they told me it didn't matter which I saw first. they were mistaken. Elite Squad puts a lot of the characters and situations of Elite Squad 2 into context. 2 is quite a bit better, but the original is a necessary preamble. See both. In order.

Working on a Super Bowl menu. All finger/skewer foods with the exception of a creme brûlée bread pudding. I guess you could use your hands for that too.

You gonna give details or what?

Working on it.

Guster> :hi-five:Fish> I'm both proud and frightened for you.On a side note, I don't get how some of you can blackout from alcohol alone. I've never been able to drink enough to have total lack of recall. Now, mix a little something extra in the mix, and sure I've woken up in strange bathtubes. But just drinking can't do it.

I've blacked out from alcohol alone while drinking alone.Suddenly I feel so sad.

I can only think of a couple of times that I've blacked out. The last was in downtown Memphis. I remember leaving Beale St at about 3AM, but have no idea how I made it walking 10-12 blocks back to the hotel plus found my room.

I just woke up in a strange bed to my phone going off multiple times, coinciding with kickoff. Checked my texts from last night--no help. One from me saying "totally killed a possum" at 2 am, and that's it. Nobody in this house--no clues as to whose it is. Walk outside, get in my car and drive home. People I was with last night say that we closed the bar, we all said goodbye and I got a ride home with a friend.

Jesus.

You should have a stolen a microwave or toaster or something.

Hate to say it but I doubt a girl would leave you alone in her house. You were probably just with a dude.

so I've secured a ticket via email with a student, who has to pick up his student tickets. He's going to let me walk up with him to ensure it's legit. Paying $700 for a $350 face.

Giddy with excitement, but will be super pumped when I get that ticket in hand.

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't play craps.

Why not?

Never took the time to learn how

How much time do think it would take?

15 minutes is way too much of an investment to get he best odds and best action in the casino

Really? Better odds than poker or blackjack?

Best odds. Most fun. Friendliest dealers. Hottest chicks.

Craps is the funnest game in the casino. You can learn to play (the basics) in about 10 minutes.

Somebody tried to teach him in Vegas. Foos, maybe? I don't know. All I know is he was at the craps table one minute and then he wasn't. He gave up.

NFL: why couldn't you just adopt the NCAA overtime rules instead of this asinine system you have now?What wacky overtime rules.

Because the only things that suck more than the asinine system they have now are the NCAA overtime system and frotting for the win?

It sounds like you are close enough to these people that you could be up front (to a degree) and tell them you think you need a sabbatical. You've been there since HS and just think everyone would be better off if you left for a year or two. Maybe that way the door wouldn't be shut when you return, horrified at what the American workplace has become.

Yes I'm very close to them but a sabbatical is not in the cards. The last manager that put in her two weeks was escorted out the door (in an office of 25 people) because our "higher-ups" didn't want her messing with any accounts. And anyone who quits will not be approved for re-hire. Trust me, I know it is beyond stupid but that's what I've witnessed in the past 12 years.Plus if I were to take an actual sabbatical I couldn't float it. 2 years into our house, new car, baby on the way....It's either all-in or fold

Look. See if you can find something that satisfies what you're seeking. Unless you have something specific in mind, there's no point in giving it serious consideration. Are you certain the things that are making you unhappy there can/will not be addressed with/by senior management? If they have that kind of long-term plan in place for you, you have more leverage than you may think. If they wouldn't take steps to retain you, then they're either idiots or they're lying to you about their long-term plans.

Apologies to Guster and to CC; I misread Guster's joke there. They're both cool by me. Also, these house name suggestions are . I'm really tempted to name it Casa de CAPSLOCK.

Think we're buying another house in Nicaragua; entering into a contract next weekend.Houses in Nica all have names, I suppose since they don't have addresses. The one we're buying is called Casa Almendro ("almond" in Spanish). Any good shticky or non-shticky ideas to rename this one?(The other one was bought we called Casa Camila based on my best friend/cat of 18 years' name. )

casa de GMTAN :duh:

Damn, posted before I saw this one. This has to be it, no?A twitter feed, a FB group, a direct link, and a house in Nicaragua?Epic.

would definitely need to set up a cornhole

Casa de GMTAN.Plan an epic weeklong housewarming party 6 months in advance so at least 10 of us attend. Set up webcams with live streaming to the twitter account. Make sure there's wireless for people to update via mobile devices in this thread. Oh and remember to get a local 16 year old prostitute for Homer. The group pic of this brouhaha will be the yang to FBG Staff pic's yin.

I want to laugh at this but I'm afraid if I do Krista will get angry, turn into She-Hulk again, and use her legal acumen to repossess my soul. UPDATE: She laughed first. We have a green flag!

Speaking of crappy places to live...

On "American Dad" last night the mom was trying to give the kid some advice about 'being his own man or something' (OK, I was only half-watching it).

"Come on Steve, you're almost 15 years old. If we lived in Fresno you'd be a father by now."

If Homer comes, the prostitute is going to happen whether you know it or not. I say better a prostitute than the neighbor's daughter. Safety first, and all that.
