GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

Okay boys and girls. NFL betting is not a strength of mine, so this is probably great fade material, but I have placed a nice size wager on NE -4 for next week.

Texans have no healthy starting linebackers. They lost another CB last week. They may get Joseph back this week, but even if they do, he has been out a few weeks now. Jackson is better then the past 2 years, but he's still subpar. And they get to travel this week to play the most prolific offense in the nfl. unless Watt, Cody, Smith are able to get huge pressure every down, I see no reason Brady doesn't pick them apart.

NE 34 - Houston 17

g'luck

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]
Look at dis' guy
Kind of like a bumble bee is a whole bunch of people doing pratfalls.

Tough call. Probably not before the 2 week mark I would say. With the holidays coming up, I may even wait til early January. I would try to find the sweet spot between showing interest and not seeming desperate
 
:lmao: :cry: :lmao: YSR/Dorothy, how did things go for you today?

I'll update on my day when I'm less...oh, I don't know. Angry, I guess. I did not Maguire it but we're almost at a Norma Rae moment at the company instead. Actually, I don't remember what that movie was about. Maybe more of a Peter Finch in Network moment. Yet another VP quit today.

Perhaps-only-amusing-to-me aside: I was reminded today that during my rant to my boss on Friday, I told him that the only things I cared about at the company at this point were him, Dirk (direct report to me), Jason (guy in Finance who's a good friend), and "that squirrel that jumps from tree to tree outside my window every morning".

Really, though, that squirrel is pretty awesome.

Every morning, around the same time, he leaps from a branch on one tree to another tree a precarious distance away. He ends up hanging and swinging from a branch and then making his way along; every day I think we'll have smushed squirrel. It's quite beautiful to behold. Ballsy little MFer.Sure, it doesn't compare to having 30 weeks off a year, but it's what I have.

Sometimes my wife is worse than I am. And by "worse" I mean funnier.

I have a great-nephew (yeah, I'm old). He's my oldest brother's daughter's kid. We'll call him Jake. Love the kid to death but between my mom, my niece, and all of the rest of this kid's grandparents he's a little nancy-boy.

He's my mother's only great grandchild she babys the hell out of him. Unfortunately she watches him about 4 days a week while my niece works/goes to school. The kid is 4 1/2 and my mom still calls him "Baby-Jake".

Perfect example: This Summer we were all at a family get-together and hanging out by the pool. Jake was walking towards the shallow end of the pool. My son and I were standing less than 10 feet from him. He's not even 3 feet from the edge of the pool (and wearing a floaty-vest) and my mom says "Jake, stop!"

I tell her "Mom, he's fine. We're right here". Not to mention the kid won't go in the water unless he's clinging to someone. Then I said "What's the worst that will happen? He'll fall into the pool and I'll yank him out in 5 seconds."

My mom replies with "But I don't want him to get scared!".

Anyway, this whole thing really bugs my wife. She can't stand how this kid is being coddled, spoiled, babied, etc.

Tonight we were talking about how "odd" he looked in a video someone posted of his pre-school Christmas pageant.

My wife was going on about how she's losing hope for the kid. She's talking about how he's going to get picked on a lot when he gets to grade school. Then she drops this.

"And I hope they don't try to 'butch him up' by putting him in karate or something. That never works. All you end up with is a little f[rhymes with maggot] that knows karate."

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

 
I was at the local Red Devil Pizza the other day, sitting at the bar with my girlfriend, when I looked to my right and saw this creature behind me. I was mesmerized. I knew I must capture this creature on my fairly new Samsung Galaxy S III immediately. I pretended to take a picture of my girlfriend's new glasses and she pretended to pose. As I snapped the picture, the specimen just happened to look up. As I saw the instant image, I was sure I was done for since he was looking right at me. It turns out I just happened to capture his likeness for a miraculous moment, and he continued at his task, unknowing.

Do they give Pulitzers for mullet shots?

Football team name at the school of interior design? The Fighting Phaggots?
 
RG3, great scrambling ability, leaves the defense wondering will he run or pass, they have a very good running attack but i just don't see him as anything better than an adequate passer right now. he has missed several wide open receivers .. including that last one that he threw wide by several yards even though the guy was running loose in the secondary.

will the media hype train realize this next year? or is it full steam ahead for a while?

depends if they win games or not. he doesn't throw many picks, so as long as they win everyone will overlook his limitations.

His parents named him RG3? Star Wars fans? :confused:

Frightening
 
Pretty sure I got hit on by a dude at the gym today while on a treadmill next to my wife. I had just got on the thing and started it up and this dude in a Richard Simmons outfit (but not crazy colors) comes up to me and starts asking if I went to the college tshirt I was wearing. Then he is telling me his son goes there. Seemingly innocent but he kind of lingered. It was awkward. And he didn't acknowledge the wife at all. I didn't think much of it, but the wife is insisting that he was gay (nttawwt) and hitting on me.

Happen to you, or am I that sexy?

Next time you see him can you ask about the strap-on thing?
 
Tanner et al.

Found out our Gnomer on my floor is named "Trykeitha". This is a real person. Seen this one before?

What is a Gnomer, you might ask? It's a made-up bull#### thing that companies that don't wish to spend money on come up with to make holidays "fun". Will have to copy and paste some stuff tomorrow. Truly Office Space material.

Who named it? It wasn't a guy named Keith A was it? If so, that's some subliminal bull#### right there

No biggie, happens to me all the time :coffee:
 
Woz is still the only person that I have ever put on ignore, so I'm just going to start replying based on what I assume he has posted.

Since there was a post not only about gay men but going to the gym, I'm going to guess that he said something about how he "when he was single" he used to hang out with gay guys at the gym to pick up women.

Am I close?

Regardless of the post, my reply is really the same: Shut up, woz. It's not about you.

he said gay guys hit on him all the time (helpful hint for woz: they can spot their own)

He's not a pure pocket passer, but he has a laser of an arm and he's accurate67% completion %age, only 4 picks, 4-1 TD-INT ratioObviously also has the off the charts speed and athleticism (just broke Cam Newton's rookie rushing record)As a rookie starting from Day 1Not really sure what more you could ask from him
