GM's thread about nothing (37 Viewers)

Well that was really freaking weird. Usually Christmas Eve starts around 8 or so. I don't know WTF I'm going to do the rest of the night.Anyway, my BIL & SIL and their two boys show up around 2. Cool. Nobody wants to drink. Uncool. I decided to pour one for myself anyway. My other SIL shows up around 3:15 and says to me and her brother that we should leave and go hang with her husband. :mellow: We both just sort of look at each other, and, oh okay. They live 5 minutes away, no big deal. He was sleeping on the couch when we got there. Slightly awkward. We're there for 40 minutes or so and my SIL shows up home, tells us we need to leave because my boys want to open presents. Weird. :mellow:I really wish I didn't have this chest infection, I NEED a stoogie and other stuff.

This is one of the more confusing posts I've read here in a while.
 
Merry Christmas, GMTAN!

The role of Bad Santa this year will be played by your gb Homer J Simpson. :bowtie:

I got my niece a little bike for Christmas. It's cute. She's cute. I threw a little horn on it because the neighbor boys had noise makers on their bikes and she wanted it too. Really it's the most obnixious sound in the world. My parents got her a little microphone stand thing that has a speaker in the base - she spent the second half of our family Christmas serenading us with her ABC's and whatnot. I get the following text from my sister the next morning

"Woke up to <niece> honking that god awful horn into her microphone! Thanks dude, thanks. . ."

Better to give than receive. :lol:
 
Merry Holidays, GMTANers.

Just made a hellsih 3 hour ride from my parents' house to mine. Ice on the roads and really thick fog. Any of you guys in the PA/MD/VA area be careful out there.

Cos, thanks for the card.

Since I work tomorrow, we decided to do Christmas dinner yesterday at Mom's. Just she, my dad, my brother, and me. I think I may have mentioned that Dad has dementia, which sucks every kind of balls ever. But it also can be funny sometimes.

1. We watched "Patton" yesterday. My dad loves it, but doesn't remember how the story goes so it's always new to him. Mom said it was the 5th day in a row he's watched it.

2. After dinner, we were cleaning up and Dad - who, by this point, doesn't know exactly who my brother & I are and gets confused when his routine is altered - asked me how long a drive I had. "Two and a half hours, but I'm staying here tonight if that's ok". "If my wife says it's ok with her, it's ok with me. But you can drive there tonight just as quick as you can tomorrow". :lmao:

3. He went to bed early and my mother and I sat up chatting. He comes out and asks Mom "are you sleeping in our room or his?" :unsure:

 
@neiltyson: To all Christians of the world: "Merry Christmas." To Jews, Muslims, & everybody else not expecting Santa: "Happy Tuesday."

@neiltyson: Actually, since days of the week are named for Gods, I instead bid "Happy Day 359" to all Atheists & Agnostics of the world.

Don't have a clue who @neiltyson is, but why send this crap out? What does he hope to accomplish? I'm a (completely) lapsed Christian who loves Christmas - not for religeous reasons, but for all of the hokey stuff that I shouldn't at 50 years old.Hey Neil: throw me in the Atheist/Agnostic bunch and I'm still wishing everyone I come in contact with a "Merry Christmas". Screw you and your theocratic politics.Sorry to 'ninja and our other resident believers, but this kind of stuff is part of the problem IMO. It's really not hard to be nice to people (or keep your mouth shut if you have no heart).Anyway - sorry for getting all serious. Carry on, all.
 
I got some more stuff from Sofa yesterday. You really shouldn't have GB. In the package was a nice shirt, some gel for bald guys and best of all, a Brenda Warner autobiography. She actually looks pretty hot on the cover. May have to incorporate this somehow. :unsure:

 
I think you guys misunderstood Neil. He's pretty awesome, and about as far as you can get from being a moron. Maybe the comment was a slight snide against religion in general, but I think for the most part he was just being literal. It certainly wasn't a pro-Christian type remark, though.

Happy Christmas GMTAN! :banned: :thumbup:

Yea I thought it was funny. Not mean. He did say merry Christmas. It's his sense of humor and style. I found it interesting in church last night that the priest actually stated that this wasn't the actual birth of Christ. That it was a pagan holiday celebrating the return if the sun and that it was chosen by the church to then celebrate the return of the son instead. I def felt hot and red though when I didn't go up for communion.

Fly out on Christmas Day and back on New Years. 7am flight on New Year's Day. What could possibly go wrong with that? :mellow:

I did a 7 a.m. flight on NY Day this year. Dragged myself out of bed and got to the airport where after about two hours they canceled the flight and rerouted me through Atlanta, taking me about 12 hours to get home instead of one hour.Hope yours goes better. :excited:

Merry Xmas Eve to everyone. Had today off. I did run to Walmart to pickup some stuff of dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. Also stopped to pick up some fresh cod at the local grocery store, then to the little bakery for cookies. Tonight, me and my wife will have a modified traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner. Homemade potato and cheese pierogies, fried cod and aspargus. When I was a kid, even up to a few years ago, this was a big family dinner. It would be my immediate family along with my uncle and his family and my aunt and her family at my grandparents house. This meal was one I looked forward to all year long. It would consist of homemade pierogies, fried fish, meatless cabbage rolls (holubsi), boiled cabbage and mushed peas (kapusta and peas) and flat bread. Between my grandma and my mom, their would be close to 600 pierogies made. Great aunts would stop by to pick some up.This was a tradition brought to America by my great grandparents, celebrated unbroken from the 1920s until about 2004/2005 when my grandma had a stroke. Since then, it has broken up. With my cousins having their own families and my sister and her family living in NC, it was too hard to keep together. My parents are celebrating with my sister this year, so it is just me and my wife. This is all fine as it will be nice and low key. I still got the homemade pierogies. Well, anyway, I know this is getting into the Guster length without the payoff, so I'll just end it with Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Thanks man... Don't know whether I should put extra research into it to feel more confident on my picks or if I should just wing it like I have all year long. Next week is an especially difficult one to pick too :scared:

Ooooo, the SLB pool. So great. Just keep doing whatever you've been doing all year!
 
Merry Christmas GMTAN! :wub:

Just returned from the Sahara and feel like I'm going to die. Please alert the authorities to look for a camel named Bob Marley. Not kidding.

My apologies. I am sure I misunderstood. I looked up Neil Tyson and he is awesome, even if I did not recognize his name.Funny- when I hear it in his voice, it sounds okay.Unfortunately the voice in my head was Crosseyed's.

No worries (other than crosseyed being in your head ;) )Merry Xmas to all. Enjoy your families and be thankful for what you have, rather than long for what you don't. Much love to the gmtan and fbg community. despite all of our unique personalities its an awesome place to learn and share.

I think we both misinterpreted. Being old and all and forgetting who this awesome guy is.And to top it off, I think he went to Degrasse High

Neil Tyson is awesome, even if he and I disagree. Smart, funny, respectful. Definitely worth a follow on twitter if you're into that sort of thing.
