GM's thread about nothing (84 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

If I tried to describe this weekend, this event, all of you that I met, well, I don't have the vocabulary or skills to completely do it justice. It was one great time though. The only thing that would have made it better is if more people here would have been able to make it.Really sorry to the guys that we stiffed on lunch. Turns out I misread the e-mail about our flight being delayed and we flat out missed it. Yeah.So in conclusion, you are all awesome. Thank you for such a great time. Thanks for being so kind to Mrs. SLB.P & SYou haven't lived until you're blind drunk and your wife says "hey check out those Girl Scouts" to HJS.

Really, each and every one of you contributed to a great time. Thanks again.

40oz?

11oz bottle, 17-ish oz glass. I was never any good at 33.5oz. We had a guy on the team that was 6'9" and easily 350 that was a master at that. He slammed a liter, probably in 2 seconds and cracked another beer before anyone else was done.

Here are a couple of videos I shot at Salt Lick. The first is the GM eating BBQ video that's been referenced here a couple of times. The trip out there was a riot. First of all, GM really, really wanted to drive to the Salt Lick. He asked everyone, repeatedly, if he could drive their car. I think Romo ultimately got him in the car with the promise that he could drive at some point, but I can't say for sure. And as has been documented already, the ride over went something like this: "Uni, don't ever get married... I mean, I know you're going to get married at some point, so here's what you do... save all your money... buy property... ISN'T THAT RIGHT, ROMO? YOU GUYS OWN LOTS OF PROPERTY... but the property has to have cash flow... otherwise, you sell it... and then... you put the money into a portfolio and you let it sweat... yep, let that portfolio sweat for you... where are we going?.. how far away is this place?... this is bull####... if we were in Portland, we'd be at the coast by now [repeat x32]... Jesus Christ, where the hell is this place?... if you guys came to see me in Portland, we would just go to a restaurant across the street... so if the Ravens win, I've got a $1300 ticket... yeah, I gave a stripper $100 to take to Vegas and put on the Ravens... no, I don't have her phone number, but we are friends on Twitter, so I'm sure she's good for it... my god, we have seen this sunset from 8 different angles... this is such bull####... I bet there are rattlesnakes out here... where is this place?... yeah, so you want to let your portfolio sweat..."

Then there was silence. Romo asked when the poker tournament would be and was met with about 20 seconds of silence. I looked back and saw a look on GM's face that I can only describe as an eerily quiet rage - staring straight ahead, somewhat red in the face, with a look of intensity only see in eat-off photos. I almost threw up I laughed so hard.

So we pulled in, and promptly lost a very angry GM (Thorn was supposed to be watching the baby). Finally, we got him settled and out came Sullen GM, who you'll see here eating. Keep in mind while watching this that no one is speaking to him. Homer and I happened to make eye contact as we both saw him shoveling food in his mouth - food which appeared to be speaking to him.

Completely forgot I asked GM to do this. Needless to say "hey GM, I think you need to say grace or a prayer or something" was met with little resistance from him but got me some strange stares from the rest of the table. So awesome.

I had the equivalent to 1/2-1 glass of wine with cos Friday night, and then a beer on Saturday and Sunday afternoons because it was so stinking gorgeous outside and that's what I would normally do on gorgeous afternoons like that. But on the whole, I was so entertained by the group that I didn't really even miss the drinking. And for me not to miss drinking... well, that speaks very highly for how great a time I was having with these folks.

The open container laws were very different here up until the early 2000s. The only way the driver could get in trouble was if the cop actually observed him consuming. Otherwise it was fair game. Everybody I knew in college had a floorboard full of empties. I think that culture is pretty persistent despite the change. I hardly think twice about a road beer, particularly if its after dark.

I know that back in the 80s, here in Oklahoma West, open container laws weren't really enforced unless you were obviously drunk or the cop wanted to be a jaggle.

Hell, I remember back in HS that if the cops caught underage kids driving around with beer (opened or unopened) 90% of the time they would just force you to pour it out.

These days? It's a $250 fine. $1000 if the driver or passenger is under 21.

That's the same way it was for me in the 90s. I actually got in an almost heap of trouble with a Dallas cop when I was 19, drunk and peeing in the parking lot of a concert. After a bunch of getting up in my face in yelling, he let me go with just a verbal warning provided that I poured the beer out while he watched.

You? Peeing outside?

How did HJS end up with this pants down? Did he lose win a bet?

He also voluntarily dropped them when he came home Sunday night. It wasn't really that much different than seeing him during the day, since his sitting at the poker table always resulted in our being able to see not only his boxers but a fair amount of his disturbingly wide butt-crack. YSR and I debated dropping something in it, like a Space Shuttle, but I'm not sure anyone ever did.

Here are a couple of videos I shot at Salt Lick. The first is the GM eating BBQ video that's been referenced here a couple of times. The trip out there was a riot. First of all, GM really, really wanted to drive to the Salt Lick. He asked everyone, repeatedly, if he could drive their car. I think Romo ultimately got him in the car with the promise that he could drive at some point, but I can't say for sure. And as has been documented already, the ride over went something like this: "Uni, don't ever get married... I mean, I know you're going to get married at some point, so here's what you do... save all your money... buy property... ISN'T THAT RIGHT, ROMO? YOU GUYS OWN LOTS OF PROPERTY... but the property has to have cash flow... otherwise, you sell it... and then... you put the money into a portfolio and you let it sweat... yep, let that portfolio sweat for you... where are we going?.. how far away is this place?... this is bull####... if we were in Portland, we'd be at the coast by now [repeat x32]... Jesus Christ, where the hell is this place?... if you guys came to see me in Portland, we would just go to a restaurant across the street... so if the Ravens win, I've got a $1300 ticket... yeah, I gave a stripper $100 to take to Vegas and put on the Ravens... no, I don't have her phone number, but we are friends on Twitter, so I'm sure she's good for it... my god, we have seen this sunset from 8 different angles... this is such bull####... I bet there are rattlesnakes out here... where is this place?... yeah, so you want to let your portfolio sweat..."Then there was silence. Romo asked when the poker tournament would be and was met with about 20 seconds of silence. I looked back and saw a look on GM's face that I can only describe as an eerily quiet rage - staring straight ahead, somewhat red in the face, with a look of intensity only see in eat-off photos. I almost threw up I laughed so hard.So we pulled in, and promptly lost a very angry GM (Thorn was supposed to be watching the baby). Finally, we got him settled and out came Sullen GM, who you'll see here eating. Keep in mind while watching this that no one is speaking to him. Homer and I happened to make eye contact as we both saw him shoveling food in his mouth - food which appeared to be speaking to him. My linkThe next video is GM saying grace. You can make out most of what he's saying if you listen closely.My link

my favorite part...

my god, we have seen this sunset from 8 different angles

The crazy GM facial expressions put it over the top, I couldn't stop laughing. When I grow up I want to be like GM.

No.....no you don't, GB. You've got a very bright future ahead of you; don't derail it by following anything I said or did. Well, except for the making your assets sweat stuff. That's the paved path to royal riches.

I didn't know what to expect from Abraham, but I sure as hell didn't expect Vince Vaughn in a sweater vest.

I was more comfortable around him on day two when he was dressed like a civilian. Day one I worried there may be a frat pitch coming. #rushchairmanDamn glad to meet him though.

I wear the sweater vest to meet customer visits. So," no" going forward?

I was in a meeting yesterday at which I noted five of six men were wearing sweater vests.So, no.

I think we should flip houses.

After I hit the last quarter:Gusher (thinks he's whispering to cos but is actually screaming): "I don't really have to pay him, do I? He's going to die, right?"

Jesus. OK, now I feel a little bit better about your having misunderstood what I said to you when I said, "I'm not going to miss you" (meaning I wouldn't miss the coshole) and you thought I said, "I'm going to miss you" and explained to me that you're not dead yet. Even though I didn't say anything wrong, I still felt bad. Now I don't feel nearly as bad.

Homer takes this time to reprimand DB, telling her to "get your ### back in the bar, and you buy another round. You go. NOW!! Another round. You make this good." At one point my bottle was cracked from her hitting it so many times, I may or may not have drank shards of glass, and Homer hit her bottle to make it spill. DB proceeded to pour it at Homer which caused him to take his bottle of beer and pour it on his own head, and yelling "You really think that bothers me?? Well, do ya?? I don't give a ####!!"

I don't think I got to see the full Homer experience. Next time, I hope.

You shouldn't feel bad at all - my ears were drunk at the time

Coshole2013 Slave Name vs Screen Name Usage:I told someone over the weekend that it was like being in a bilingual family where everyone goes from one language to another, but that's not quite right.Some, I saw called almost exclusively by their real names: the ladies, Bob, Kevzilla, COlin, Bentley (1st or last), Romo, UniAlias (because no one can say that drunk), Brad Buck.Others almost always by their screen names with occasional lapses: Homer, Gusher, Thorn, Stu, Bogart.Then the bastards: me, cos, GM - wait, I may want to root for the tumor with that company.That's just from my perspective - no idea what they called each other as they cuddled.

I could never quite get a handle on this. Some people just naturally seemed like slave name people, like you. I couldn't bear calling you "Uruk". Some people I just couldn't call by slave names--Homer just has to be Homer for me. I do remember asking Thorn if anyone calls him Thorn in real life, and he answered "no" with a look of mild disgust.

GM, any news about Uranium?

How difficult would it be to start an investment club? Anyone have any experience with this?

Sure, there's always news, but it rarely does much to move the needle unless it's a giant tsunami taking out a power plant.

Spoiler

That said, there were some massive storms that disrupted production in Kazakhstan last month, which could have an impact in supply. Japan's new PM is more pro nuclear than his predecessor and there are rumblings from the manufacturing base that they need cheaper electricity rates to compete with the rest of the world and unless they turn back on the nuclear power plants, they will be forced to pay higher rates, driving margins down. Meanwhile, we have good reason to believe that a uranium ETF is finally a reality, though the underwriter we believe who will bring it to market will have to do it in Canada and not the US, due to our clunky and overworked SEC dragging its heels. An ETF would be price supportive for the underlying commodity and there's a lot of different angles to this that I'm not at liberty to discuss. And there is one more potential event on the horizon I have reason to believe will also put upward pressure on the commodity, but I can't talk about that either. In fact, I've probably said too much already, so this won't last too long. The stocks are still incredibly cheap and the one closed-end fund is worth looking at from a pure play standpoint, though it currently trades at a 2% discount to spot.
