GM's thread about nothing

Logged into FB today and noticed that a few of my 'friends' joined a group called "Petition to remove facebook group praying for President Obama's death". Being curious, I clicked the link and here's what I found:

Name: Petition to remove facebook group praying for President Obama's death

Category: Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes

Description: This is a petition to REMOVE the group "DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN" from facebook.

Here is what we are asking you to do:

1) Visit the 'Prayer' group's page and report the group to facebook. (Link below.)

2) Logout for Civility from 8-8 tomorrow! RSVP to the event on the Events page and invite your friends to join you! (Link below.)

3) Sign the online petition. (Link below.)

4) Spread the word! Our strength is in our numbers to share, repost, and invite!

The link is in the Links box below.

So then I visited the link to see what all the fuss was about and sure enough, there's a page for this group with well over a million 'fans' or 'friends'. However, my question is this: Are they really praying for the death of Obama? Kind of seems more like a joke and a punchline than some sort of cause. I mean, I voted for Obama and even I chuckled a little, which is probably because I have the mentality of a 9 year old. Curious what others think.
I just wanted to bump this, which was the first post in this thread.After nearly three years, and umpteen (legal term) posts, we have a bunch of people meeting to celebrate the life of...well, everyone, but particularly one of our own who's kicking some cancer ###. Really cool #### no matter how you cut it.
I'm feeling a little verklempt
 
Seems like we suddenly have a ton of people who wish they were attending but aren't. One time, one time, offer that if there is a person who decides to go last minute, I will donate Delta miles to get them there.DO IT.
Can you donate a babysitter to watch two jackass kids for 3 days?
That Delta guy from the airport probably would since K4 is platinum or something
Kevin. And I'm Diamond. :rolleyes: Platinum...psssssshhhhh.

I'd be willing to buy those from you if nobody takes you up on it. I have committed to go to Founders Day in Jackson, MS for April to help raise money for a fraternity brother of ours who lost his wife to breast cancer this week. I've helped create a ton of interest from alums around the country who will attend and have the green light from my wife to go. I've helped set up a fund raising benefit dinner Friday, a vollyball tournament Saturday and will spearhead efforts to sell T-shirts, so I'm pot committed to attend. But tickets from Portland to Jackson are $700. :shock: Not like I'm flying to Paris or Nicaragua...it's Jackson MissiFreakingsippi. Ugh.
We can talk and try to figure something out. I'm sure you looked at just Memphis and driving? I can work through a million options to see what might work best--send me your dates/times.
Yeah, I did....which was why I asked if I could borrow a Bentley for the weekend. :bag:I'm coming down with my buddy Fred, who is filthy rich and won't go unless I go with him and fly into and out of Jackson. He won't go if we fly to Memphis and drive. Prissy little twit. No worries if it's not a fit, but I'd be willing to buy these if they were available. You can use the money to donate to St. Judes, buy another Nicaraguan villa or hire a hit man in Bakersfield. I hear they work for cheap.
Send me the info. And ####### Fred, if he's filthy rich, should just pay for your ticket. The dickmitten.
He said he cover our rental car and hotel. And country club golf, which I'm dreading like Shuke might dread a salad.
 
I have shin splints. Haven't run for a week and a half. I got new shoes today, and was stoked to run tomorrow morning (that seems really weird even to type.) I thought I was good to go - had to run 3/4 of a mile or so to make a bus today, and my shins were throbbing by the time I got on the bus. :kicksrock:

 
Predicting an epic rally from Bob. Feel better GB.
GB, I'm not one to go down without a fight. Oddly enough I had a dream about some guys on motorcycles trying to kill me and Shredder. I woke up a sweaty mess, which is good. I'm cautiously optimistic as I've been able to sip on some 7up and nibbling on some toast. We'll see. I also peed out of my #### instead of butt which is nice. This all started after I picked the boys up at school Tuesday. I've battled through it but finally had to succumb today.
:hifive:Come on GB, I know you can do it.
I'm in. Can't promise how much fun I'll be tonight. But I'm in.
 
Just once....ONCE...I'd like a picture of me kicking some assssssssss or looking normal. :lmao:
My link
GOD DAM IT! :lmao:
My link
:lmao:I'm dying
I feel like this should be a large canvas oil painting hung over a mantle. "I'll take the General."
I almost had several heart attacks during this exchange. Jebus! :lmao:

Take it totally easy on Day One. Leave yourself plenty of leeway to destroy yourself on Day Two. And since Zooks can't be here, I will gladly defile your wife since you won't be able. :thumbup: I like to help when I can. :)

Sitting at my gate. Didn't realize I was flying a smaller plane. I have a feeling they're going to make me check my carry on, which is the only bag I brought. Is attempted bribery of an airline employee a crime?

Gate check means you get the bag back right when you get off the plane instead of going to baggage claim :shrug:

Pre-coshole with YSR canceled. :(
Yeah, sorry about that. I completely underestimated the drive and our exhaustion level. The last hour here was brutal. Romo didn't even go to the casino, we both just went to bed. :(But the good news is that we're up and at 'em and hitting the road in 5 minutes.

you mean to tell me that the entire country doesn't have both?!? which one are they missing out on?
Generally we don't use much gravy at all, which is a crime, but white gravy seems to be a generally Southern phenomenon. Also the idea of asking by color is something I can guarantee Yankees don't do.
My heart goes out to all those Yanks who don't know the deliciousness of biscuits and white gravy.
:lmao:

Longtime Yank here. Never knew about biscuits and gravy. Never came across it. Never had it. Didn't know it was such a staple.

One time a few years back, I'm working on set as a production assistant/gofer. James Garner was doing a small role and showed up that morning, and I brought him to his dressing room. Since he's old and walks with a cane, I ask if there's anything I can get for him. He asks if there's breakfast at craft service and I offer to make him a plate. I go down and there's a full catered spread. I figure, it's James Garner, he's going to want a man's breakfast. I load him up with a ####-ton of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home-fried potatoes and hash browns, grits, the works. I think I filled up two of those oversized 11-inch styrofoam plates. I skipped all the stuff I thought was "chick stuff"... yogurt, cereals, etc. One of the trays had biscuits and gravy, and, being a Yank, I had no idea what it was there for or why anyone would want it. So I bring all the food up to his room and let him get ready for the day.

About 45 minutes go by and it's time to bring him to set to rehearse the next scene. One of the assistant directors walked him to stage through the back entrance by craft service. I'm just sitting there minding my own business watching rehearsal when all of a sudden I hear this bellow from behind the back wall: "Gawdammit Sarnoff... you didn't tell me there were biscuits and gravy!" Everyone started cracking up. He came around the corner and started joking around like he was going to crack me with his cane. "Now go fetch me a plate!"

That's how I learned how important biscuits and gravy are.
:lmao: it's hard to beat good hot biscuits and gravy
Yes it is. Also hard to beat a story about Jim Garner shaking his cane and cursing at the gofer for not bringing him any. :lmao:
 
Take it totally easy on Day One.
That's the plan. Although when it comes to me and booze, I'm not all that good at plans. :mellow:
YEEEEEAAAAAH!
:hifive: Damn it, and I forgot to print the boarding tickets yesterday. :lmao:
Print boarding passes? You going to wear a tie and jacket on your pan am flight?
:lmao: Yeah that's it. I'm old enough to remember getting dressed up before going on a plane. The last time I got on a plane sober, i had hair. LOTS of hair.

 
I'm going to have a love/hate feeling reading this thread for a while. Going to love to hear about what's going on; going to hate that I'm not there.

DO IT.
The desire is there to drink too much Jameson's, draw penises on GM's passed out face, and moon cars from the end of Cos' driveway, but I can't make it. Eagerly looking forward to the pics though.
Non Austin update: gf just got offered a threesome (with a chick). Developing...

GM, just to take some of the heat off - this was my last driver's license picture
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: I'll have to post my old Cali pic sometime. For some dumb reason I was wearing a blue bandanna that day (a hold over :style: from my days as a ####ty teenage skate punk), and for some reason the DMV lady let me keep it on for the photo. She may have been scared. I was new to LA and didn't connect the bandanna to a gang sign until the license came in the mail and I realized I'd just IDed myself as a whiteboy crip.

Hot Indian chick (fb pic didn't do her justice) kept putting her hand on my gf's thigh last night. That visual brought me to a happy place.
I miss the days when all my hot girl-friends professed the hots for my wife, which would lead to eager talks of a threesome, which I would inevitably screw up in some way. Good times, my twenties.

My lady has recently admitted that she is now openly bi. And she likes really hot chicks (no masculine types). :banned:

Lots questions here that I don't feel comfortable asking since she's your lady and not a Knuckles for the night. Oh ok. 1. Was this out of the blue or did you suspect for awhile? Back in our twenties my wife and I would comment on attractive women all the time - she was open about that (a surprising number of women are), but the step from desire to acting is enormous and she never made it (for whatever reason). iii. Did she admit it because she had an "encounter" of sorts?F1. Is this an invite or a declaration that she may fool around on the side? A buddy of mine's GF was like this for awhile. They were exclusive vis a vis the opposite sex, but she'd have standing flings with girls on the side. He never cared.ETA: after we passed into our mid thirties and parenthood all that threesome/bisexual talk petered out.
