GM's thread about nothing (58 Viewers)

[Abraham]

I've heard from Austin friends that its becoming more and more like Dallas every day and losing some of the character that made it so great. People more obsessed with money and status and housing costs shooting up with all the people moving there. No personal experiences but is it getting any less awesome?

No. North side is turning in to big city suburbs (where I live) but the heart of Austin is alive and well.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I would like to check it out. Next coshole is when?

#### all, you know? #### memphis and a ####ty work situation and being unhappy. #### it. I'd give my left nut (literally) to be out from under the hump of bull#### I'm dealing with. And you have a chance to go wherever you want and get a great job and get paid and be happy. Don't you know how AWESOME that chance is? Like (gay) in Good Will Hunting where he tells the guy he has to leave because he owes it to all the dumbasses busting rock? That's you and us GMTANNERS. Well, some of us anyway. I read how you hate your job and how you live in Memphis and I think, "Life is too short to live in Memphis....and it's DEFINITELY too short to hate your job and live in Memphis." So for the rest of us (or just me) that has the kingdom crumbling around us, find somewhere awesome and go be happy. Maybe it's austin, or madison, or Portland, or Barcelona or ####### Fiji, but go. Because between here and there is horse#### but no one can make you realize it but you.

I liked him quite a bit.

Agreed. He was very cool. Talked to him a lot on Saturday and really enjoyed it.

Hit the treadmill tonight for 30 minutes and think I finally sweated out all the booze, meat, smoke, herbs, coffee and all the other toxins ingested over the long weekend that have been lingering inside of me like a demon. I have been sucking down Metamucil like Lone Stars and have yet to crack a beer since my return. My sides STILL hurt from laughing so hard.

Tiera's name is the 276th most obnoxious thing about her. Teira? Really?

My house is on the market as of today. It's sickly fascinating to see how my home is marketed. I understand this is what I wish to do and it's part of the process, but giving up one's home to strangers is always surprisingly wrenching. :(

None of the Mellyholes went as swimmingly as coshole. Lots of self-imposed drama and IQUITting going on.

I don't remember any drama at MH3? Pretty much an awesome experience, and one I will never forget.

My cousin bought her Memphis home from Peter buck (rem). Twelve years later she put it up for sale and an agent called her. "Peter would like to buy the home back. He wrote a lot of 'green' while stoned on the back porch and now he has money " Sold.

I've never lived anywhere else (and don't plan to). I probably have a low IQ too, and we definitely have bad drivers.

I'm good friends* with Peter Buck's ex-wife.*I talked to her at her 40 Watt Club in Athens for about 5 minutes back in 1989 or so. I told her I would send her a Merle Haggard t-shirt when I got back to Bakersfield. I never did. Mainly because I had no idea where to find one.

A lot of REM songs sound exactly like Cinderella songs.

I think SF checks every box here.

Actually, you have a fair point.

SF seems like a bit of a no-brainer but I recall K4 looking for someplace with a lower cost of living so she could save up enough to buy a Galapagos island to retire to If I could live anywhere, I'd probably go with San Fran or Vancouver or Hawaii. Seattle and Portland both pretty high on my list too though.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

SF seems like a bit of a no-brainer but I recall K4 looking for someplace with a lower cost of living so she could save up enough to buy a Galapagos island to retire too.

Lots of nice places in Berkeley/Oakland Hills/Piedmont too (if one's working in SF, this doesn't work as well if you're on the peninsula). I think you can get around a lot of the cost if you live outside the city, just as you could do the same in NYC or Chicago I'm sure.

Maybe the shark move is to stay in Memphis and buy an archipelago.

San Mateo Highlands if you got the scratch and you're into suburban isolation.

I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat, bad headache and slight fever, so apologies to all of you with whom I made out this weekend. Hope you don't get sick.

Sounds like you got the "cedar fever." The sore throat will probably go away quickly, but next your sinus will block and probably get an earache, sinus infection and cough #### up a lot.

Take a 24 hour Claratin D (or similar). Pharmacies keep it behind the counter because of breaking bad wannabes. Get your doc to prescribe some nasal spray Nasanex or something. Be prepared to get some antibiotics (Azithromycin) if it turns into a sinus infection (it usually does). Good things is, is it is not contagious and with those meds you can power thru okay at about 70%.

Wow, you were spot on with this. Throat is still excruciating, and as of yesterday the cough started. This morning that cough has been, er, productive and the results have shown sinus infection. Romo is prepping a neti pot for me as I type, and I guess I'll call my doctor for an antibiotic today. This cedar fever is the pits.

 

[Ignoramus]

What's with this Pickles coy I-don't-live-where-I've-said-I've-lived-for-years shtick?

I moved.

When? Where? What are you doing now?

I feel like explaining this to you would only foster more confusion. You're friends with me on Facebook and LinkedIn, yet this is somehow a mystery to you.

 

[kevzilla]

YSR>it would be highly unusual for you to have cedar fever. It typically takes years of exposure for your immune system to go haywire.Having said that, I'm completely f'n miserable.

That's a common theme from everyone that has ever moved to Austin. We joked about it at coshole. Everybody wants to move here then shut the door after they arrive.

Honestly not trying to be snarky in the least bit, but (short of the chain restaurants obviously) does Nicaragua fit that mold exactly?

 

[Tiger Fan]

I don't like any place conservative. 5/5 - like Austin, Louisiana is conservative, but New Orleans isn't at all.

I don't like any place religious. 4/5 - b/c of heavy French & Spanish influence and large African American population, I would bank that most of the city "claims a religion"...but mostly Catholics (functioning alcoholics) and none of the bible belt BS that is often associated with the south

I don't like any place with low IQs. 3/5 - there is still a large part of the population that is poor and uneducated...however we've made great strides since Katrina...fastest growing city link (forbes)...have been getting great pub on all young professional and entreprenurship fronts over the past few years

bad drivers. 5/5 - part of this is b/c cost of living is cheap relative to being in a city with lots to do...but if you live close to the action, you never have to really mess with a lot of traffic at all

people who have never lived anywhere else in their ####### lives. 3/5 - see low IQs answer. Not perfect, but vastly improving

or who like chain restaurants or monster trucks. 5/5. I think the city of New Orleans doesn't even allow chain restaurants. Drew Brees had to pull all sorts of strings to get a Jimmy Johns franchise near the Tulane campus.

New Orleans - see above for rankings out of 5.

I was heading to Shantytown today and as I passed the free clinic I noticed their sign that informed me that today is National Black AIDS Awareness Day.

who knew that AIDS came in different colors?

Denver would be high on the relocation list, I'd think. As a bonus, you get better weather than most people seem to think Denver gets.
