GM's thread about nothing (33 Viewers)

[Frostillicus]

Between the making our own bread and sudden shift to cloth diapers I'm kind of freaking out in my own home right now.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Is it possible to verify the spin of a charm quark in your kitchen? Let's find out.

 

[Josie Maran]

Time to taste the bread now. Kind of nervous. I feel like the Litte Red Hen's lazy friends.

Make sure to say how it isn't chemical-ly tasting.

Slightly undercooked and doughy, but pretty good especially for a first crack at making bread.This was good advice TRE. I made sure to see it tasted "clean" and "un-chemically" and she's in some sort of weirdo heaven now.

You're a pro, GB.

 

[Limp Ditka]

what do I do? I am Sancho

 

[Josie Maran]

So I watched The Evil Dead earlier. Why the eff is this considered good? Can someone explain it to me?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

OH MY GOD. HOPE SANDOVAL IS SINGING A SONG ON PANDORA..

 

[kevzilla]

Trying Banshee on Cinemax based on my dad's recommendation. His usual fare is crappy action movies and #### with rubber monsters. Basically the stuff Frosty watches.

10 mins in and I'm not sure what's going on, but the camera work is fun.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Yeah, no thanks

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

So I watched The Evil Dead earlier. Why the eff is this considered good? Can someone explain it to me?

Evil Dead II is the good one. First is more of a straight up low budget horror flick but then they get shtickier.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Banshee is sort of a re-envisioned Roadhouse only Patrick Swayze is an ex-con that's taken the Sheriff's (now deceased) identity and the bad guys that run the town are Amish.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Never realized LinkedIn would be such a stalker haven for ex-girlfriends. Okay, I get it, ladies.

isn't Pinewood Derby Regionals this weekend? After you blew everyones doors off in districts last weekend.

You got the wrong guy. We finished last, last year. Our goal was not to finish last. It's good to have goals. We didn't finish in last. WIN!I've learned a lot from the PW thread though. I'll be helping to make two of these bastards next year. We'll do better.Still need to get the pic of the cars off the camera. The thing that drives me nuts, even more than the length of time it takes, is how obvious it is the Dad's did all the work. Some of these cars were a work of art. I'm not exaggerating. See, I'm teaching my son(s). You want to do better? Work harder. I'm not doing it for you. I'm happy to help, but I'm not doing all the work. Other than spending time with Cal, it's the only redeeming factor in the thing IMO. Sorry GB's Shuke & Stu.

You insinuating something here?

 

[17seconds]

Looking for some snacks to exploit/avoid tonight. There are some vintage Twinkies in the pantry that expired circa April. [[[[[[[ YOUR VIEW? ]]]]]]]

dependstwinkie sweat inside the bag? yes or no?

 

[shuke]

Yeah, no thanks

Svelte on that scale.

I may be a decade late on this, but I want to beat Ziggy Sobotka to death with the most blunt object I can find.

 

[General Malaise]

I have some old PMs that I never deleted. A couple of interest.

1) Rudnicki congratulating me on picking "The Plane from Wings" in the sitcom draft

2) Me explaining to GM what a "Lemon Party" is (not sure what the context was????)

what??

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Might as well try in here, clock is ticking... Anybody got any Derby future lines available (before they close for the weekend)? PM me por favor.

 

[Raider Nation]

Dice Clay special starting on Showtime 2. There may or may not be nursery rhymes.

 

[General Malaise]

All I've got is Sportsbook odds to win the Derby, which you can access without logging in, I think.Shanghai Bobby +800 is the favorite. When is the women's final in the Aussie? Who you backing?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Azarenka might be the least likable, least marketable women's #1 since Amélie Mauresmo.

Na, see Open thread.8-1 for Shanghai is a joke at this point. I would love exchange wagering on Derby Futures.

Bread is like a buck fitty at the store.

nothing beats fresh baked bread. I love making fresh pretzel bread

 

[Tiger Fan]

not sure if any of you are following eg's fat ### thread, but those slutty brownies (hi pickles!) are freaking phenomenal

I am fortunate enough to have grown up on a farm and some sort of fresh bread was available at every meal. Looking back, God did those women work. Right after breakfast, they'd start on lunch. After lunch, start on supper. Fresh biscuits, loaves of bread, rolls, etc...

Steve Marino to win Farmers Insurance Open +5000 looks good to me

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I have 3 groups of guys that I play poker with. Pretty much always willing and able.

Maybe it was the holidays, but the games had completely dried up over the last 3-4 months.

As of today, I've gotten offers to play at 4 different games (to be fair, one is Euchre, not poker) tomorrow night.

Euchre?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuchreSeems to be regional. Most people outside of the midwest seem to have the same reaction.

College days. Bong Euchre - 24/7.

Just fed my kids cinnamon rolls, snicker doodles, macaroons, Hershey's miniatures, milk and orange juice for breakfast. Clearly when I said you can have anything you want for breakfast, they took me serious. They are out building a shrine to me and planning their lunch menu as we speak.

Boy, that Finals match was where boners went to die. Good christ those girls were unsightly.
