GM's thread about nothing (26 Viewers)

[Thorn]

So this hotel is on the same block as a seedy looking bowling alley. Luckily i have my balls in the car. Schwing!

Are there bowling alleys that aren't seedy looking?

Yes. Crappy hipster ones in urban areas that are full of neon and d-bags and overcharge for everything.Short answer: ones that suck. Seediness is the essence of a good bowling alley. Seediness, light beer, and fat men in ridiculous shirts.

Also a worn-out Defender game and a pinball machine unplugged in a corner, along with a collection of house balls from the 1950s, at least seven of which are red and black Lebaowsi-esque Brunswick Fireballs. And a Lustre-King.

No brunswick in the land of candlepin. Also cc i woulda figured you for a pro-hipster

Here's Fartbarf's official video for All Systems Go!

It's ####### awesome

It was like watching a dance party thrown by every woman that wouldn't #### me in college.

Apparently I'm redoing the upstairs bathroom this weekend. Came home to see the wife pointing at a hole in the wall where she got a wild hare up her ### and pulled out some loose tiles and found that the drywall was brittle and a lovely shade of black. Thanks hon. Didn't have enough other things to do.

You aren't the first person to make this mistake. I understand your confusion. The way I dress. My political leanings. The books and movies and music and all that stuff.

But as a good friend once said, "CC you aren't a hipster. You're what hipsters try so hard to be."

I don't know if that's a good explanation, but I can say this -

1. I do not obsessively follow bands with obscure names just so I can wear them on my sleeve as a psychic defense mechanism.

2. When I see hipsters around town, I'm overcome with an intense desire to punch them in the face.

I'm a man with specific tastes, but they don't follow trends like hipsters. Maybe that's what my friend meant. Beats me. All I know is Piels tastes like ####, color-rimmed sunglasses look stupid, and vinyl is way overrated.

This is exactly how a hipster would describe himself, especially the "You aren't a hipster, you're what hipsters try to be."

He probably said, "You're a total hipster because you try so hard to be" and you just heard what you wanted to.

Beverly.

Hot

No shtick, you should see her mother. She's probably 65 and is just gorgeous. Double-take inducingly so.

Keep going...

No kidding. Surfing "mature women" these days and realizing the women are my age is just sad. Even the ones who seem older are probably my age, but just weathered by drug abuse and what not. I remember a BowFlex (or some other fitness company) ad a while back where the woman claimed to be 55 or so, and I was floored.Beverly is quite hot, and the idea she has the genetics to maintain it 30+ more years would be enlightening.

Edit: disregard any creep factor. tia

What sort of lead-in do I need to tell you all that our THIRD waiter of the night last night - a man who looked exactly like Jonnycakes from The Sopranos - looked deeply into the eyes of Cosjobs last night and said sweetly: "More coffee, Skipper"?

I'm curious as to why cosjobs was drinking coffee.

Well, he had just taken a shot of cinnamen (no clue) infused bourbon outside the fish house we were going to, so he might have needed a chaser. What was really weird was how taken aback Waiter #1 was to Cosjob's request for a fresh pot of coffee...as if fish houses of America are not constantly churning out fresh pots at supper time."I'll have the beer battered cod, the hush puppies, corn on the cob and a side of your jalapeno tartar sauce"....

"Anything to wash that down with? Might I recommend a cup of piping hot, freshly brewed coffee?"

Pretty sure cos was alternating between vodka and coffee in Austin. Weird shtick he's got going there.

Did he show you guys pictures of his dog?

Are you trying to give me nightmares?

GM's spelling woes are hilarious.

It crossed my mind to post about this earlier this week (middle-aged memory loss), but my favorite part is how he posts "sp?" to certain words but then horribly worse mangled words go unfettered. It's good shtick.

Hey, gb!What's the Central American house count at?

1.5, thanks for asking. Thinking we'll close on the second around March 20.Not kidding when I say a GMTAN cornhole would be welcomed. At that point we'll have reasonable sleeping arrangements for 14 (actual beds in actual bedrooms) and anything more could be arranged. Not that I really think we'd actually get to more than 14...wishful thinking I suppose.

Perfect; you're ready to go!By the way, when you go into Nicaragua you have to fill out a health form. Asks if you've had any of certain symptoms in the last week. Most are easy--diarrhea (sp? that was just a paean to GM), vomiting, etc. But there's one that says "decay".I'm never sure how to answer that one. :(

Should be an interesting weekend... I have my daughter until ~4 and then meeting up with a lady friend for dinner and a concert.

This girl is pretty cool, but lives in Columbus and is almost too nice of a person at times.

She has a hotel room downtown (ex moves out next Saturday!) and said no "funny business" but wants to do brunch in the am

I told her she wouldn't be laughing

Random makeout girl (RMG) also wants to meet up for church again (if i can make it) and then brunch tomorrow and hang out for the day

I'm going to try for an early brunch with Columbus girl, skip church and then meet up with RMG for second brunch and fun from there.

I'm guessing that my weekend will be a lot like Pete Rose - a whole lot of gambling, but in the end I'll end up with a lot of doubles instead of home runs
