GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

Weird couple of days.

Falling for married subordinate proved to be a very bad and painful idea (shocking). Nobody got fired, but I now officially hate coming to work.

My seven-year old daughter asked to move to southern california for a year to see if she is happier there, which is closer to our families. She feels isolated and lonely here since we don't have any family here, and a couple of her close friends have recently moved away. My ex-wife found out the school she's working at is closing after this year, so she has very little keeping her here except my custody order.

Now I don't want to work in this office any more, but I may be able to transfer back to San Diego and keep my job.

It looks like I may be going home.

 
I shared a room in Memphis with my Religion professor for a wedding. I got him baked and we went to Graceland. Cool dude. The school didn't offer him tenure and it pissed me off so badly. I think he's at Wabash college now. Cool cool cool cool guy.
Let's investigate this weirdness a bit more.
I a sophomore in college looking to save a dollar; he a bearded, unkempt and jobless religious professor similarly looking to save a dollar. Two Millsapians, headed down a bumpy path towards fiscal responsibility.
You're supposed to start it off like "I'm a sophomore at a small, Southern college. I never thought anything like this would ever happ..."
I read it that way, anyway
 
I think my dream is to be GM's religion professor. Only as a professor in my field, which when you think it about it, is pretty much the same thing without the collection plate and singing.

I forgot to mention that 50% of the people in the 6:00 game and about 25% of the 9:00 game are deaf. I know this going in, but never seem to remember it. As a result, I try to break the ice at the tables with my many witticisms, and when I am met with silence, I always think, "Oooh, I'm at the serious player table". :bag:
what?
Yeah, sorry, I could have been more clear. This freeroll game in which my husband and I participate each Monday night has a very large deaf attendance. It's really pretty cool and I've actually picked up some sign language along the way. About 50% of the players at the 6:00 seating are deaf. The 9:00 game, which actually counts for something, has a lot more players and so the deaf contingent is only about 25% of total players.

My point was just that, having only been to this poker night for three weeks, I keep forgetting about the deaf contingent. So when I get to the table, I make polite conversation and/or jokes. Then, when met with a stony silence, I immediately think that I'm at the Serious BusinessTM table.

Anyway, I didn't do much better with that explanation, but hope you're having a Happy Birthday!
What?

But where will that leave the hot twentysomething bar friends? Think of them. :(

Sorry to hear about your troubles moving back to Paradise, man.
Came here to post that I really hate when I lose outsmart myself and hide certain things when I'm drunk but that really sucks Fish. :(
Sorry to hear about your troubles misplacing your stash, man.

So not to bring down the thread below it's already horrifically pathetic and sad levels, but I just found out that my buddy and his team leader were both ambushed and wounded in Afghanistan today. His team leader got the worst of it and will be flown to Germany when he hopefully stabilizes enough. My buddy managed to come out of it with Forrest Gump, so thankfully he should be ok. His family is a pretty good mess right now though. I'm really hoping that his team leader pulls through everything and ends up recovering, because I have about a million jokes in my head already concerning getting shot in the ###.
Sorry for your friend and his team leader. Any updates on how they're doing?
 
Guster, Homer, Shuke, or other Queen City people. Is this true?
Yes, it is true that the architecture of the Union Terminal Cincinnati Museum Center served as an inspiration for the desing of the Hall of Justice featured in the popular 1980's Saturday morning cartoon "Superfriends".
After seeing that shaving pic, I'm assuming you are Aquaman. :P
:confused: Got any connections with tickets to Radiohead at Erwin tomorrow night?

They're probably trying to cheat you. I played in this team poker tournament a couple years ago with some friends, and there was a team of deaf guys that was killing it. That was until one of our guys (who happened to have deaf parents) ended up at their table and noticed that they were passing signs. He let them know that he was onto it and their performance dropped sharply thereafter.

In honor of Tigerfan, I say we draft something. Cities? States? Rockbands? Condoms?

1.01 Amsterdam.
1.02 "Cigarette Dangles" The Pursuit of Happiness
1.03 Joe "King" Carrasco and the Crowns
I'm going to start a GMTAN recruiting drive. Quite frankly you people kind of suck.
Get wikkidpissah in here.
Ehhhh...
The Austin hippie contingent loves wikkidpissah.

Superfriends was on way back in the 70's, guy. But thanks any way.
Are you denying the fact that it was on in the 80's?

Thanks. If this happens it isn't exactly bad, just a lot of change all at once.San Diego was always home, so going back isn't really a problem, and my ex would move about 45 minutes away so my visitation schedule with my daughter wouldn't change. It may fall through, but I think it's better than 50/50. Also lets me make a clean break from my paralegal, which will be good for both of us. Sucks, because I'm crazy about her but the timing is all bad.

yeah, they're pretty much the only thing I like about living here at this point. From what I remember, San Diego has hot twentysomethings, too. Plus a Bulgarian stripper that I've "dated" a couple times.

Well at least admit that Riverfront was loosely based on Castle Greyskull.

That would be "The Banks" that finally, recently got developed.
 
Went to super hipster bar last night to listen to a newspaper columnist talk about local music. Then local band played. Good times. I might have had a few :banned:

My morning text conversation with my brother who was there as well last night:

Bogart: OK. During the week my limit is one less beer than I had last night. And/or no Belgium Wheat.

Brother: yep. and you gotta watch the ABV. iron thistle hits around 8%

Bogart: That makes so much sense now.

 
Mr. YSR's birthday is on Monday and my mom just called, asking what to get him. He and I aren't big gift givers, so I told her "nothing", but apparently that won't stand. So she asked if there was a book he might like to read.

His interests: poker, movies, Special Forces (loves a good Netflix documentary on these groups), conspiracy theories (to a degree, he's not off the reservation or anything), home improvement/renovation and/or construction, investing (commodities, mostly), and MMA. He does not read novels.

Any of you guys have a book in one of these realms that I should look into?

You, I do not like.
 
Any of you guys know of a good streaming site? I'd like to watch Inside Job and it's not on either of Netflix or youtube.

edit: will take a PM
