GM's thread about nothing (22 Viewers)

Hi Mr. cos. I sent you a PM but I am efforting an appearance at the hole which bears your name. Sat night or Sunday for the game.Hurdles still to cross but I just wanted to make sure it would be OK at this late stage. I would be driving up from SA.Thanks.

 
I will say its somewhat amazing that not once has anyone mentioned a poker game for coshole. Not that it's bad, just pointing out that if you'd hosted this 7 or 8 years ago there would have been a card game in progress the whole time.

 
Cos,Can you out in the schedule again? I know Matt's is Saturday night and super bowl is Sunday. But I don't want to go back through the last twenty pages finding the rest. I'm trying to make it to some of the official events.
Friday arrivals.Around 1pm take early arrivals to meet Colin/Bentley for lunch at Amaya'sAfternoon - evening - hang out at the casa and make airport runs, get everyone settled in. Eat gumbo and drink. Some might go out carousing.Sat10:30ish - BrunchAfternoon - open all day. Boccee ball, drinking, trips to local stuff,Dinner - Matt's El RanchoAfter Dinner - back to casa or Carnaval (need at least 14 to get discount) or bar hopsun10:30ish BrunchCook/prep food for SBMaybe trek to the park for a volleyball matchBoccee in the backyardHang outSide tripsEvening - SBPretty loosey goosey. I think me and uruk and bogart mainly want to hang out at the casa and drink and swap war stories, but I know a few others are interested in seeing some of Austin and her bars. Makes no difference to me.
I think he was specifically looking for the resume writing seminar.

You can count me in for the Carnaval group. Also fine with bar hopping.I may need to work in a side trip to Franklin or JMueller (or whatever it's called now). Has pretty much become an Austin requirement for me. :porked:

I did host one of these 8 years ago and we did play a lot of cards.On the original schedule I had a poker tourn for Sun. afternoon, but the weather's going to be phenomenal, so I think volleyball would be more fun.

Our flight gets in at 1:40. What should we plan on doing? Cab to your place?

I was told there was a game.
 
I didn't want to start a new thread but there is something I've been meaning to share:If you liked The Hills or Laguna Beach or One Tree Hill or Jersey SHore even a LITTLE than you need to be watching "Vanderpump Rules." It is, quite simply, the BEST live action reality show in the history of the world.The premise:

One of the Housewives of Beverly HIlls owns a restaurant called "Sur." The staff is full of wannabe models and actresses who sleep around, drink alot, and generally act like they are the center of the universe as only vain people in their mid-20's can do. If you thought Spencer and Heidi were annoying, get ready for Stassi (short for Nastasia) and Jax. Stassi and Jax dated for two years but just broke up because she (23 years old) is tired of supporting him (34 years old, apparently). She started screwing Frank the bartender who only knew how to woe her because....wait for it...Jax has been at the bar talking about Stassi for nights on end since the breakup. All of this leads to Stassi's birthday in Vegas where Frank and Jax are going to fight at a Mongolian restaurant, a guy takes a swing at Stassi and they IMMEDIATELY are cool with each other, Stassi pours beer on her best friend, the whole crew leaves in the limo but leaves Stassi the birthday girl behind by herself. Oh, and the breakup happened because no one can agree on the timeline for when Jax got a porn star pregnant in Vegas - was it before or after he met Stassi? And that is just the last two episodes. Previews for next week show more fighting, more crying, more sex (the girls are all reasonably attractive except one), more drinking, more arguing over pregnant porn stars, and a few people getting put on probation at the restaurant.
Truly, it is unbelievable and has to be real because the people are so dumb and the drama so contrived that NO ONE could write it.

 
Carnaval thing is fine with me if we can get enough on board. Big fan of midget trannys. :wub:Figured there would be enough gambling amongst all us degenerates during the SB that a poker game wouldn't be necessary. I'll play if a game gets going though.

You watching that garbage is way worse than anything you're doing with your job or marriage or drinking.

I have a little bit of a problem on which I need some feedback. You can be harsh if need be, because I'm likely just being a selfish brat and it may be something I need to hear.I am not your typical girly-girl. I didn't do the big wedding, had one engagement party but no showers, etc. As I've gotten older, I enjoy being the center of attention less and less (IRL, that is ;) ), and have honestly become a little bit anti-social.All that being said, Romo informed me yesterday that his mother and sister want to throw a baby shower for me. I feared that I would have to deal with something like this, but I thought it would be more along the lines of my having to invite them to any potential ones being thrown in my hometown. Never did I dream that they would want to throw one for me here in Knoxville. Why? Because I don't know anyone here. So, when I asked him who all would be at this shower, he said that his mother had about five people from work that she thinks would love to come. I've never met these people.Some of this goes a little deeper into my resentment for my mother-in-law being overly involved in our lives (this is getting better daily, but weaning her off of her son, a.k.a. her "star" after 35 years is a long and slow process) and showing up unannounced at our house with little household things or leftover chili, etc. But stripping that from the conversation, I am still left with the prospect of having to go to this shower and be the center of attention with at least a handful of people I don't know. It just seems miserable to me.That was my initial reaction last night, and I could tell that Romo bristled a little at it. I'm sure he is coming from the "they want to do something nice for you" angle, which is completely valid.tl;dr: I think I'm being a brat and need to know if that's the case.
just catching up now, but maybe she could throw you the party after the baby arrives... that way it's about the baby and not you so much? :shrug:

Did anybody bother reading and responding to this manifesto? ;) Buddy, you need to suck this one up, pretend to enjoy it and practice your most sincere "thank you" for when it's over. Basically, just pretend like you are faking an orgasm for about 2 hours. I get where you are coming from, but sometimes, it is just easier to bite the bullet and not rock the boat. You won't need to travel anywhere for this, you likely won't have to prepare any dishes or come up with any games. You'll really only need to show up and put on your best fake smile. Hell, you'll even get a bunch of gifts for the baby that mean less money out of your pocket. For hell's sake, I had to fly to Detroit to go to a baby shower with about 50-60 females, all fawning over my pregnant wife and chatting me up like we go WAYYYYY back. I'll show you some good party tricks this weekend on how to make people believe you give a damn while at the same time giving off the impression that you are thankful for their attendance and interest in your baby. If you take a stand here, it'll make things awful for you at home and will force your husband to take a side. That's an awful thing for anybody to go through. Trust me, it helped author an end to my first marriage.

It sounds like MIL is throwing the party for her and not you. I would say she's the one being selfish here.Of course...technically...she's throwing the party for her soon-to-be grandchild so that complicates things.
 
You can count me in for the Carnaval group. Also fine with bar hopping.I may need to work in a side trip to Franklin or JMueller (or whatever it's called now). Has pretty much become an Austin requirement for me. :porked:
I agree. While I am sure the spread at Casa Cos will be excellent, I might have to make a run at Doughnuts and/or Kabobalicious as well.
I applaud the new, looser cosschedule.
Agreed.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Same here. Count me in if we get enough.
 
I will say its somewhat amazing that not once has anyone mentioned a poker game for coshole. Not that it's bad, just pointing out that if you'd hosted this 7 or 8 years ago there would have been a card game in progress the whole time.
I just assumed it would happen naturally

Planes have 22 rows? :shock: :hey: all. Thanks again for all the nice notes. I'm having a shockingly decent day today after a productive meeting with my boss last night. I somehow managed to have an entire hour right now that is unscheduled. AND I thought I had just finished my lunch but realized I had bought soup, too, which I had forgotten! This is the best day ever!

You watching that garbage is way worse than anything you're doing with your job or marriage or drinking.I agree with this.I think :e: mostly pays for itself, but I'll have to check with scotty. It's not much, maybe $25 a month or so?
 
Coshole notes:-- We likely won't do the Carnaval thing on Saturday night, but I'm happy to throw in $25 for a spot if that's what it takes to book it for those who want to go.-- Romo would love a poker game if that can be arranged. He would also be up for volleyball, but thinks he's fat right now and probably worried about putting his money where his mouth is. I will not be playing volleyball.-- I am not sure what to do about this warm weather, as I don't think I can fit in any of my summer/fall clothes. That's right, I've popped out and there's no sucking in to be done anymore. The belly is here to stay.-- Spicy/hot foods are fine.-- Is Homer there/drunk yet?

 
And thank you all for the feedback. I told him at lunch that all but two people on the Internet think I need to suck it up and let this shower happen. Looks like that's what I'll do. :kicksrock:As Sarnoff mentioned, the shtick factor should at least be high, given my MIL's taste and what I assume her friends' tastes will be like.

Ooooh, another set of matching storage tubs! Pass them around for all to see!
