GM's thread about nothing (34 Viewers)

[Steve Tasker]

July 27th Update:

Guster and Gadzooks contemplate the cathartic nature of early morning GMTAN reading.

We find out life insurance costs up to $100 a month and you have to take a piss / blood test when determining eligibility.

The merits of many different beers are discussed - including fat tire, shiner and summer shandy among others.

Drifter prepares for a cornhole.

Mr. Pack prepares to close down his bank accounts because they took money from his personal account to cover business expenses.

TRE’s girlfriend is not on board with him marrying both her and Shakira.

Do you do this every day? Good stuff here.

 

[cosjobs]

I encourage everyone to join Tim's league and pay him back for all the misery he has caused.

 

[Angry Beavers]

when is the Cleveland cornhole?

I am in Cleveland RIGHT NOW

Till when?

OK, inspired by TimLeague, I am willing to run the GMTAN league though I don't want to join as I can't dedicate the time for it. Let's actually get it going this year.

Things to decide:

-# of teams

-entry fee

-PPR/no PPR

-roster/starting lineup size

-free agent pickup stuff

-payouts

-other bull####

Thoughts?

K4 Samuel L is starting the official GMTAN fantasy football league insp$100 entry fee, 12 teams, etc.

Slow day.

 

[Ignoramus]

GM - I'm convinced that nobody REALLY likes Shiner, even down here. I know tons of people that "used to" like Shiner Bock.

Shuke and I beg to differ.

I like Shiner, too. It's not a Great Beer, but compared to what it's usually up against (the Heinekens and Sam Adamses of the world) its a good beer. Goes perfect with BBQ. I'm not typically a fruity beer guy, but their Ruby Red has a nice ginger kick to it and is a great summer brew.

I would be game in a best ball format. I think that's what its called. $25 is not worth 17 lineup changes and waiver wire scours.But a draft with this gang would be a delight.

 

[cosjobs]

Was I the only one who turned on the XXX Olympics hoping for some porn?

 

[flysack]

Sounds like pigskin p is now in. Britney is still a maybe. No word from fish today. Bbq fatties, wings and abt's standing by

I'm crabbing with 5 girls under 8, so I'm out.

You need to find new female friends without crabs.ETA: also, aim a bit older. Even Homer is blushing on that one.

I agree. best ball leagues are great for something like this

What is "best ball" ?

 

[Britney Spears]

Speaking of cornholes, I was holding off on definitive plans for Saturday because I've felt like crap the past couple of days. Feeling better today so I think I can still make a go of it. The issue is, I've gotten a lot of lukewarm responses from, well pretty much everybody. In addition to Rudnicki, Proninja and Fish in here, I also contacted Britney Spears and Pigskin P. Everybody said something along the lines of, "maybe". Well, that's not enough to plan a night of cards around so I either need some yes, I will be there's or we can plan on something else. Anybody else up here I should be considering?

I'll be there.

Does that make three cornholes in one week? Is that a record?

Also for the beer. Note to everyone else: if Drifter ever invites you over for BBQ, you should go. Had a good time with everyone.

What is "best ball" ?

Under this format, owners aren't required to set starting lineups because each owner's entire roster is in play. The players who post the highest point totals at their positions each week are automatically considered the starters, so every team gets its optimal lineup. The system eliminates the often agonizing process of determining a lineup each week and eliminates second-guessing on everything but roster moves.

All the fun of the draft, none of the headaches of the free agents, lineup decisions, etc...especially since this would be low dollar and most likely the 3rd or 4th or 5th leagues for most of us

 

[proninja]

I want to play in a fantasy football league with you guys, the only problem is that involves playing more fantasy football

Jerry Jones wants him some glory hole

Most of you know I work in oil and gas. A few years ago, our team was sitting in a meeting...the average age of our team was probably 28ish, and our boss was 62ish at the time. He used the phrase "glory hole" over and over and none of us could contain ourselves. We told him to go google it when he got home, and he came back the next morning afraid he was going to be monitored by the feds now

 

[kevzilla]

Turns out Ruby Redbird is quite refreshing. Dangerously so, in fact.

 

[Plorfu]

Sorry,there's a stupid ad. Sometimes, it seems.

 

[shuke]

Hey buddy. Aaron texted me at 3 AM saying you were "talking ####" about me? Still pissed at getting runner up in that lake shaving contest?

Drifter throws a great cornhole complete with excellent BBQ and beer.

Jerry Jones is into glory holes.

 

[Britney Spears]

That particular conversation centered around me urging them all to take advantage of any opportunity to corhnhole with you, and reminiscing about our visit to the Kenny Rogers roaster place by the airport. I also don't believe I've ever actually entered a lake shaving contest.

Anyone else ever have it happen to them where they scan page 1 and don't see GMTAN, go on to page 2 and not see it, and think "oh crap, who got it killed? I hope it wasn't me." Only to go back to page 1 and find it got bumped back up in the middle of your process? The relief is impossible to describe.
