GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

This one is better.

Not funny but I really wish there were a lot more parents like this.

While I agree with the general sentiment:1) How do you get an "F" in a spelling bee?

2) Given the nature of a spelling bee, you can't really come down too hard on a kid. Maybe he's dumb, or maybe he just got a fluky-tough word early. I would gather more evidence before ripping the child a new one.

We had grade-wise spelling bees at our school. In 4th grade, I won in our class (LAM), and came in 2nd for the whole school (3rd-6th LAFM!!!!). Sixth grade I won outright. (LAM MF'ers!!!!!!)

Fifth grade, I don't think I even came close to making it to the school-wide spelling bee.

Yeah, the "F" on a spelling bee is silly. But I don't think the dad was ripping the kid a new one but rather he was trying to be honest with the kid about not doing well.

It should've been a spelling test.

why is it called a spelling bee anyway?

why is it called a spelling bee anyway?

A bee, as used in quilting bee, working bee or spelling bee, is an expression used together with another word to describe a gathering of peers to accomplish a task or to hold a competition. Especially in the past, the tasks were often major jobs, such as clearing a field of timber or raising a barn, that would be difficult to carry out alone. It was often both a social and utilitarian event. Jobs like corn husking or sewing, could be done as a group to allow socialization during an otherwise tedious chore. Such bees often included refreshments and entertainment provided by the group.

Because the word describes people working together in a social group, a common false etymology is that the term derives from the insect of the same name and similar social behavior. According to etymological research recorded in dictionaries, the word in fact probably comes from dialectal been or bean (meaning "help given by neighbors"), which came from Middle English bene (meaning "prayer", "boon" and "extra service by a tenant to his lord")[1][2]

Historically the word bee has been used to describe a get-together where a specific action is being carried out, like a husking bee, a quilting bee, or an apple bee. Its etymology is unclear but possibly derived from the Old English word bēn for prayer

Gonna make a ruling here on SLB's GB's husband:

NOT GAY

For the simple reason that there's no other dude involved. Making out with a dude, while less invasive, is more "gay."

I'll be here to rule on other gay/not gay issues throughout the afternoon. I am naming myself the GMTAN Official Arbiter of Gay.

We were cleaning up yesterday for birthday party for the kids and there was a bottle of hand lotion in the kitchen.

Wife: I'm going to put this lotion in the bathroom.

Shuke: In the basket?

Wife: Huh?

Shuke: Are you putting the lotion in the basket?

Wife: I said I was putting it in the bathroom.

Shuke: PUT THE ####ING LOTION IN THE BASKET!

Wife walks away oblivious.

I'm glad I no longer have to hide VHS tapes anymore. I used to put white stripes with movie labels down the side of them for movies I didn't think ANY of my guests or girlfriends or mothers would want to watch...."Dead Man Walking" was a collection of about 3 different movies I recorded one night off the naughty channel. I always snickered when people would pause to discuss that one with me. "Wings of a Dove" was actually "Bad Girls 3", set in a female prison.

You're smarter than I, gb. I actually wrote the title on each cardboard case. That worked out well when my anti-porn 2nd wife went snooping.

With female snoopers fake sports titles usually moves them on their way. Other than asking "why do you keep all these old hockey tapes?"

Does anyone watch ELEMENTARY on CBS? Last week's episode had a GMTAN moment when it turned out the vital clue was old porn hidden on a VHS tape that was secretly in the box for "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie". The guy had put a piece of tape on the corner of the VHS so he could record over it with his amateur porn. Sherlock had to explain how that worked because it was so 90s.
