GM's thread about nothing (36 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

The good news for Kubes is GM's hatred for me will force him to say he likes the movie no matter what.

Hey bitterman, how do you like the Panera Gift Card, picture of me and the $5 Million Argentinian Dollars you ungrateful jerkass?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

No way Moneyball is that good. Kubes is drugged or something.

Did you see it?

Never will. Moneyball didn't work.

This is a fair point. Whatever make Moneyball a decent movie will be unrelated to anything Beane did as a GM. Which makes it some other movie not based on anything.

Depends on your thoughts on Moneyball.

There really isn't a more boring baseball team over the last decade than the Oakland As. Between Al Davis, the Golden State Warriors and the Oakland As, it's no wonder Oakland is a crime infested rat hole. I'd riot too.

Got any UFC leans this weekend?

I don't know if I like any of the dogs. I think Palhares (-250) is very likely to win.

I also expect Aldo (-200) and Barboza (-150) should win.

Ok

Maybe Billy Beane should just spend all his money on a catcher with declining health and an inability to hit the ball out of its new ballpark?

Hey now

Oh, stop. I've been a Rangers fan since 1978. Be thankful you've seen your team actually win a WS and accept the fact that the Mauer signing was pretty short sighted.

[General Malaise]

Think your job sucks? I think I stumbled upon a job that sucks even more.

We stayed at the coast this weekend in a lively little beach town with the unique, quaint little name of "Seaside". My sons read about the "Worlds Largest Salt Water Taffey Outlet" in the condo literature and so we decided to take a little stroll on the boardwalk to find this joint. We found it, went inside and spotted over 170 different flavors of taffey. Mango Chili, Black Licorice Cinammin (no idea how to spell this), Blueberry Cheesecake, Orange Creamciscle...just an endless supply of taffey and I have to admit, I got a little carried away, bagging up over two pounds of this stuff.

As my boys and I were enjoying the shopping spree, I noted that the song over the loudspeaker (The Candy Man Can) repeated itself after it was done playing. This happened again. And again. Finally, as we were done bagging and tagging, I went to pay and asked the thin, tired looking man with summer teef if the store played the same song on repeat. He looked at me with the eyes of a man who was about 3 days away from a shooting spree and sighed...."Yup, same song on repeat, all day long, 365 days a year".

I want you guys to think about that the next time you rush in here to post a complaint about toilet paper or co-workers who smell or a shortage of Lil' Debbies in the snack machine or students with the same name as Japanese zoo animals or having your CEO flip around $100s or having to work 100 hours a week.

ETA: Which version of "The Candy Man" was it?

 

[Homer J Simpson]

Can someone give me a clifton's notes of this whole texting rigamarole?

Sorry to hear about your troubles being a Steeler fan.At any rate, many of the people in this thread have exchanged numbers although there is not a master list. Some people like to text pictures of what they're drinking, the line at Taco Bell, or their 22 year old mistress' boobs. Some like to organize "team shots" at a specific time. Some like to just say what's on their mind. Our resident alcoholic man-whore Gadzooks has well over 10 numbers yet his phone won't allow him to text more than 10 people at a time. Thus the private @GMTANFBG twitter feed was born for important updates. WALA

I need to step up my game.

I don't think it was Sammy Davis Jr....but I don't know enough about the song to say for sure. It sounded like some goofy white guy, but then again, so did Sammy at times, right?

Did anyone's wife make them take a picture during every single week of their pregnancy? Apparently this is going to be a Tuesday night ritual. She stands in a side profile holding up a sign that says "6 weeks. Size of a lentil bean" and I get to take a picture.Do I really want to document my wife getting fat? Can I use that to my advantage later?

I hate these pictures on facebook. One friend takes a picture of her baby every month with a sticky note on it saying how many months old. Thorn: "I hope when the tranquilizer dart wears off you release him back into the wild."

The version they use in Willy Wonka is brutal. Some British poof with a warbling voice. The Sammy version is moola.

Question for the rest of the drunk in the GMTAN. Do you guys ever get blood work done? Is it just something us old guys do or because my doctor freaked out over past results?I was curious because just I got mine back and now all of the historical results are online. My cholesterol is a little high but my liver is in the normal range although it is on the high side. The standard (ALT) range is 9-60. So I was curious as to what my past results were and a couple stuck out at me.10/08~24610/09~183No wonder my doctor freaked out. The lesson is take a 4-5 days off from the booze before having blood drawn.

I've had my bloodwork done 4 times since I turned 40 and will have it done again in about 6 weeks. First test had super high triglicerydes along with very low Thyroid hormone levels (which were presumably causing the high triglycerides). Started at 50mg of levothyroxine daily, then bumped to 75 when that didn't do it and then bumped to 100 most recently when 75 wasn't getting it done. I understand and can appreciated the measured approach to medication instead of just throwing the high dosage out there to start, but what a pain in the ###.It's probably been an issue for 10 years or so, but at 40 they really start paying attention to this #### because apparently that's the age where you really start to fall apart (just ask Fish) and things start to be signs that you're abot to keel over.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I retract both "oof, classy" and "You just called several of GMTAN's wives insane. I'm cool with it if you are."

Clearly GM didn't mean to "insult the vast majority of wives". GM loves all wives and thinks they're intelligent, sensitive angels.

Carry on with the regular schedule.

Update?

 

[General Malaise]

I apologize for implying that all wives who take weekly pictures of their pregnant stomachs are "insane". Obviously, it is perfectly normal to document your pregnancy in any manner you or your wife so choose.

Clearly Tre didn't mean to insult me. Tre loves me and thinks I'm an intelligent, sensitive angel.

Carry on with the regular schedule.
