GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

[Tecumseh]

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?

Pretty good documentary about special forces that I saw a couple of years ago. Team America: World PoliceIt's a little bloody, but then so is war.

"The Great Gatsby"

You, I do not like.

"How Ancient Aliens Taught Delta Force to Re-felt Their Poker Table For Profit" by Tom Hanks (Illustrated by Dana &$%*@#& White)

Ironically, the movie was better than the book in this case. Especially Don Cheadle in the role of Tom Hanks.

conspiracy theories (to a degree, he's not off the reservation or anything)

I don't know if you can sort of be a conspiracy theory enthusiast.

Did you google map the east side of Youngstown?

No I have some weird encyclopedic knowledge of Mahoning County and the surrounding area.

Really awesome posting, since we haven't been able to use the img function here since approximately April 22, 2003.

Not a book, but a great gift for a poker player.My link

Seal Team Six is a book written by an ex Navy Seal sniper who was in Mogadishu for the "Black Hawk Down" incident. Not the most well written book but definitely an interesting read for someone into the subject matter.

You get locked in the club or something?

My wife called me from the driveway because she was afraid to get out of the car.

Oh, the horror!!

HAS ANYONE SEEN SHUKE?

 

[BigJohn]

My wife called me from the driveway because she was afraid to get out of the car.

Oh, the horror!!

It is pretty odd for one to be out in the daylight like that. Could be rabid. You should cut it's head of, just to be sure. Can never be to careful.

Tell her one of your iFriends, who is an expert on cats, says it is a cat.

Call her back and say, "oh that's just the hamburgler. You're fine unless you see a big purple guy."

So anyway... good to know I can't stay out of the political threads for two entire days. If any peeps PM me their contact info, and I start to do more consulting in the US, I might come to buy you drinks one day.

Blackhawk Down was an intense read

"Dating" needs to be more modernized. Even after you get married, it doesn't change.

So you have: (possible movie)/drinks/dinner/drinks/(possible sex)/sleep

This sucks and is wrong. It isn't 1953 anymore, lets not "beat around the bush" about the whole goal of a "date" if I'm paying.

I propose: sex/(possible movie)/drinks/dinner/drinks/(possible more sex)/sleep

 

[Jeff Vader]

This just in: while I kinda agree with everything he said, Jonathan Franzen really is the snobby ##### that everyone says he is. It's pretty tough to agree with everything someone says, and still come away not liking him.

I expect 2 or 3 people in this thread to know what I'm talking about, and like maybe 1 of them will actually care a little (it's about novels).

Apologies to everyone else.
