GM's thread about nothing (16 Viewers)

[cosjobs]

11 hours in the car yesterday, 10 more today, but we all made it to Utah. I think all four of us hated each of the others at varying levels at some point (including the 2-year old) during the trip but it all went away the minute the kids (and my wife) saw their grandparents (parents) and aunt (sister) and uncle (brother-in-law) and cousins (nieces and nephews). Should have seven semi-fun days where at least I don't have to work and there's food provided and hurray sports. Then we get to do it again.Nebraska is horribly boring and Iowa quite literally smells like poop. Except Des Moines, which smelled like chow mein.

I've been to many an in-law function in Ned/Kan/Iowa and believe me, Des Moines is a garden spot.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Cos I got your PM. Was looking at the possibility I'd be in Texas then before responding, still not sure.

Sorry about the Ducks GM. :(

Oregon weeps tonight. GM, lets get wasted.

 

[Sarnoff]

played appx 2 dozen games of WWF with a guy who has never scored less than 500haven't been cheated this bad since Pickles got found out

Don't be mad.

Yeah, furls. It's fun to beat up on Pickles once you figure out the flaw with the Scrabluizer app's endgame strategy. I got my winrate against him up over .500

My wife has been out of town for the past two weeks, but she's back and has cracked open a big bottle of wine.

You should have the sex on her.

I like Anderlecht

Also Texans -15 should be a winner.

 

[Josie Maran]

Quick question. I benched Matty Stafford today in favor of Carson Palmer playing against Tulane's defense. Am I retreaded?

 

[cstu]

Quick question. I benched Matty Stafford today in favor of Carson Palmer playing against Tulane's defense. Am I retreaded?

No, not at all. If there's one thing Palmer has proven in his football career it's that he's great against college teams.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Quick question. I benched Matty Stafford today in favor of Carson Palmer playing against Tulane's defense. Am I retreaded?

Yes, but not for that QB move.

 

[Josie Maran]

Good answers, both.

 

[shuke]

AP on bye and McFadden out. Starting Reece but need to decide between Ivory and Alex Green. I know, ugly. Was set on Ivory but looks like Sproles will play today.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Also Texans -15 should be a winner.

A lot of points. I have a feeling if the Texans go up big they'll play it conservative and kill the clock.I realize they stomped the Jags earlier in the year 27-7 but Im taking the points. We'll seeThinking 24-10

 

[money.never.sleeps]

A lot of points coming in that Raiders vs Saints game. Starks is going to see the bulk of the carries for GB and the Lions run D isnt terrible. I'd play Ivory.

My computer has the AIDS. I need a new one. Considering a Mac for the first time (we're iEverything other than this) but found, as expected, that wading into any Mac v. PC threads here is beyond my tolerance(hi, goonsquad!). Any thoughts from the GMTAN crew, whom I trust?

Also would be interested, if there were such a thing, in a tablet that acted a bit more like a laptop than the iPad. We have an iPad that I love, but I need the ability to edit documents more easily and upload photos, for instance. Love more of a tablet due to constant travel that argues in favor of something as light as possible.

TIA, will answer yours.

I have an iMac at home and my work HP laptop. Either is fine really. Macs can be quirky, but once you figure out how to use them, are really good. I grew up on windows machines, so those are more native/comfortable for me. That said, I have to reboot my work laptop at least a couple times a week because programs get locked, etc. the last time the iMac was rebooted was when I lost power a month or so ago. If I were you, I'd look into a Mac book air

Thanks. The last two I've had at home have been HPs. At work I have a Dell. I've been fine with all of them, actually. Come to think of it, I believe I have three extra Dell laptops at work that no one remembers I have...
