GM's thread about nothing (41 Viewers)

Speaking of drinking, is it ok that I do it every night? My dad enjoyed his beer when I was growing up, but was primarily on the weekends. I'm not setting a bad example for my kids or anything, am I?

I usually only have a few, and typically after the kids are in bed. But I'm super self-conscience about being a good role model.

Sorry for getting all serious here.

I've never been a big fan of Madonna, but this halftime show is blowing away previous ones. What a setup.
I've been impressed so far. Good mix of songs across the range of her catalogue.
You serious, Clark? The only thing that made it somewhat bearable was maybe LMFAO, C-Lo, and Nicki Minaj. The lip synching was borderline Ashley Simpson-esque. Her "dancing" was worse than what I would expect from a 53 year old woman. Don't get me started on the pom-poms. All I kept thinking was THIS IS SPARTA!!!!Worst. Halftime. Show. Ever.
I watched until the poms came out, and then I went into the backyard to play catch with my daughter. So, I guess I'm with this guy.

You don't beat the #### out of them or force them to bong one after you've had a few?
 
Really disappointed with the way my Creme Brûlée bread pudding turned out. Needed more liquid (custard) than recipe called for. I remain indifferent about the game. :kicksrock:

 
I need to start drinking bigger beers or bring a cooler upstairs.
I buy my value beers in 24 oz sizes exclusively.
I've got a bunch of 24 oz Labatt's in the fridge, but I just really don't like them.
:thumbup: Not great. It's the beer of choice when I hang out with my BILs/FIL/Wife's family....but I don't much like it.
I bought a bunch because Kroger had them on sale for 99 cents. I drank them for a while, but I really don't think they taste all that great. On par with Bud light, etc. I'm drinking almost exclusively amber type beers right now.
You need to grab some 22 oz. Stone Arrogant Bastards. Nice flavor, big bottle, higher ABV.
 
Just finished an awesome breakfast on the beach. Going back to the house so the ladies can change into their bikinis. 4 more days of this...

Pretty sure it's spelled Cranbrulet.
Alternative spelling used

you should have tried my fiery wieners in crescent rolls
Everything else was great. Stuffed and grilled jalapeños were awesome as were the bacon wrapped chicken skewers. Need to step up my dessert game. :bag:

Re: SuperbowlThe amount of money spent on squares this year by The Syndicate is staggering. I think close to 5 grand in total. We're in tons of $100/$25 squares but the important one is the $1000 square.NFC-AFC1st QTR 3-82nd QTR 6-83rd QTR 8-54th QTR 1-7 $25k a quarter, kind of like our odds on the 4th. We have so many freaking 8' & 9's that if there is a safety, we could be rich.
Bob, hope you are doing well, gb. :towelwave:
:goodposting:
F TO THE A my brothers! Some of our other GB's had 9-0. There are A LOT of really happy north siders right now. :banana:

I had 7-8, so if Bradshaw doesn't score that touchdown (and they kick the FG to win) I would have won $400.

Stupid bob.

It's a super bowl halftime show. I had very low expectations :shrug:
I'm probably the only guy in the world who listened to this yesterday, but do you know what sucked worse than this halftime show? Listening to Jim Grey on the radio awkwardly narrate what was happening..."And here comes Madonna. She is on some sort of bed like device. She is being carried by some warrior looking men. Ummmm, she has blonde hair. And I think...I think this is Vogue. Yes, this is the song Vogue. Madonna is now down and....and she is dancing and singing Vogue." :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: It was so weird listening to him try and do play by play of the halftime show. I had to just turn it off.

Preface> what follows is nerdy to the extreme. Lit-dork nerdy. Academic nerdy. Not cool video game or internet nerdy. I'm telling it only to make Guster and Gadzook's tales of love look that much better.

Story> Oh man I want to rail this Sexy Prof.

Today we're covering Little Red Riding Hood from a Jungian perspective - archetypes and all that noise. She lectures about how Red's red cape is a symbol of sexual transition (the start of menstruation, or as Homer calls it, "play ball!"). So in a way it means feminine sexuality. We also cover how there's two male types in these tales: the Big Bad Wolf, who's a highly sexualized predator, and The Hunter, who's the good guy who saves the day. Men tend to be both to whatever degree.

So I notice Sexy Prof is wearing a red jacket today. After her lecture I go down and say, "Ok, I don't want you to think I'm a wolf, but I have to know...your red jacket, that a conscious or unconscious decision?"

She smiles and says, "One: you are totally a wolf. And two: a very conscious decision."

We laugh. I say I'm not a wolf. She insists that I am. I say ok but I'm only part wolf and I'm conscious of it. She smiles. The other TAs shift uncomfortably. The thermostat explodes in the background.

This is hot stuff, people. You can learn a lot from English nerd flirting techniques. :thumbup:

Safe bet there.
I watched the first half at my parents' house as that was the ONLY invite I got for the Superbowl. 39 years old, beautiful wife, two great kids....and yet not one stinking invite to watch the Superbowl. I might as well done the "walk of shame" going into their house where my mom offered us leftovers and argued with my father over the lighting in the den like Frank and Estell Costanza. However, I got a last minute text to go to a buddy's house right before we went over, so we decided to leave at halftime from my parents and go to my buddy's....thus, I was forced to listen to the radio feed in the car.

If I could only have one beer for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick Labatt's Blue.
Almost :goodposting:It's not a "beer for life" type beer bit it's not bad. I don't get the hate. And I drink a lot of beer.
I like PBR more than LaBatt's Blue.
You're dead to me.
That's not to say I won't drink it. I do. Especially when I'm in Michigan. It's a fine beer, I just don't like it as much as other generic macros. I also really like PBR. :shrug:

I honestly wish I hadn't been invited over to my brother's house to watch. Watching football with my family is maddening. Although the women in my family (wife, mother, sister) all like football and are reasonably knowledgeable they just don't get the fact that I really want to watch the game. All of it. I don't want to talk about the upcoming fundraiser we're all working on or why my niece's kid isn't pottytrained yet.

I'm just hoping she isn't the vig! GM> Not sure if she's married. We've avoided that topic, though she has mentioned kids. So more than likely we're two married lit dorks who like flirting and that's it. That's how I'm playing it, anyway.

:lmao:JTG & IB> I have to be honest, it was real hard not making some WW cracks as she's going on and on about who is a wolf, and what do wolves act like, and how can you tell a wolf is among us? The first time a student raised his hand, I was DYING to shout,"Well look at the timing of this motherf@#$er."
She's clearly the angel.
