GM's thread about nothing (19 Viewers)

[cosjobs]

A short while later, we were back to hanging out on the patio and drinking when a miracle happened. Krista showed up!! She had texted YSR to let her know that a package would be arriving that afternoon, but didn't say what. We were speculating that it might be the bottle of Pappy Van Winkle she had mentioned buying in the thread. But she did show up, with the Pappy and I won some of Thorn's loot. U-H approved. We couldn't just let it sit idle there, so we poured out a finger or so for any takers. A shot video without shooting. Actually, you should have seen the look on Krista's face when I suggested doing a shot video with it. Thankfully, while we may come across as heathens, everyone knew this was for sipping… thus the worst shot video ever.

I was having issues with the shot vid link this morning, so I uploaded it to Youtube and changed the link.I'd love to see some of the pictures that the other coshole participants took too

I had to do it on the down low to escape chastisement, but I had the best six bourbon and cokes in my life during the SUperbowl.

This is the worst thing I've ever read. Posty x 1,000,000,000

Sorry, but the worst bourbon and coke I ever has was better than the best bourbon neat I ever had /whitetrashroots

I'm not smart so i can't link it, but someone search YouTube for Mount Vernon New Rochelle basketball game. High school championship with the craziest ending I've ever seen. Just happened today.

One of the best game-winning shots I've ever seen. Let me try to do a link on my tab. Enh, cut and paste sucks, so here:http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=lIMFvCYBXCM&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlIMFvCYBXCMETA: might have to take the initial m out of the URL if you're not on a mobile. Not sure how YouTube's coding works.

Never seen 2 teams celebrate thinking they both won like that. Sucks for the losing team after the ref waived it off as no good at first and then switch the call after the fact. Talk about a stomach punch.

Listening to the "Reality Bites" station on Sirius while I clean the house. Was there a bigger 'gina band in the 90's than Soul Asylum?

No way. Goos were awesome before they sold out and went mainstream.

Oh yeah. This completely threw me off last night. Mrs. SLB and my cousin's wife were talking about girl rock band for some reason. Heart gets brought up and Mrs. SLB looks at me stone cold solid and says "that's Bob, he's a magic man". That wouldn't be so crazy except I've thought of that same song many times as I've had catshirt pics. I think she's on to me....

Just got through spending an emotionally draining day at an agency here that helps Marines dealing with PTSD. I am part of an organization that provides equine assisted therapy to people with disabilities. As part of that organization we go to this place that brings in Marines from all over the country that were active duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. Pretty raw stuff. Some interesting stories that i am still trying to get through my mind. Thankful though that there are men and women like them that are willing to stand and serve.

Yeah. All kinds of crazy stuff there at the end. One referee waves it off, and then there was this great moment, right in the center of the shot, of another ref running from center court to the sideline covering his head with his arms like he was under fire in combat. A big guy then comes up and says something to that ref, which could have been anything but I like to think was "Dude, that was good." Then there's a conference, and despite the TV guys claiming they were flipping the monitors around to show the zebras, they never look at it, and then Ref Under Fire signals it good and the three of them skedaddle. Just awesome. Have no idea what the higher-seeded (white jerseys) team's player was thinking making a pass there at the end instead of just throwing the ball in the air. Or holding it. Thanks again as I would have missed this for sure otherwise.

HPN airport, eh? I litigate there a few times a year, always fly to JFK, and usually regret it at some point during the eight-hour cab/shuttle ride to the WP hotel.

That's terrific. Thanks to you for providing that service to them. I love to hear stories of animals used in therapy.

One of the reasons I love Mrs. SLB (and pisses me off, I got a connection!!!) is she really doesn't care for that crap. Bringing her to meet all of you meant more than anything I could buy her. Now if I could only teach her to drive correctly.

I can appreciate some of the other suggestions, but the goo goo dolls win this easily. I LIKE the band, but they are the biggest 'Gina sellouts of the 90's with room to spare. Bush, soul asylum, even 2nd-album Counting Crowes...there were a lot of bands making the sissiest rock possible in the 90's, but none of them hold a candle to the take-us-seriously! Hilarity of Johnny and the boys.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Violent Femmes get a pass?

 

[Aerial Assault]

About the GGDs, I liked "Slide" and "Black Balloon" and still listen to them both on occasion today. But "Name" and "Iris" were awful, repetitive garbage, and as a bonus, I swear they were the same song.

 

[-fish-]

Violent Femmes get a pass?

They were admittedly terrible musicians, but never flat out sucked as a band.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Violent Femmes get a pass?

It might just be my opinion, but any band that recorded
doesn't even qualify for this.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Violent Femmes get a pass?

I never liked them but I thought this was 90s bands under discussion. I consider them an 80s band that unwantedly lingered into the 90s.

Thanks guys and gals. Uruk - it is sir. I am more of a reader than active participant in this thread but it's kind of the only decent place in the FFA. T Bell -- There are different types of therapy that can be provided with equine. With these guys we do mostly ground work and it is an introduction to Equine Facilitated Therapy. Folks suffering from PTSD generally feel very alone have a loss of control etc. Some of these guys are in pretty dark places. Horses are herd mentality beasts. We start the soldiers out with simple tasks like grooming the horse(brushing and petting). This helps with the bonding part. Then we have them lead the horse. They take the lead rope and guide the horse around the arena. The soldier is in control. They have to be the leader. Horses like to assert their dominance in different ways. It can be as simple as taking your space. You have to let the horse know that you are in control not them. That is a lot of the basics. Some of the guys were afraid to take control of the horse. It is amazing to see when they finally let go of the fears and they take control back. Seeing them go from being so reserved and barely speaking to being outgoing and laughing. I asked one of the guys after the session today what he thought. He had been around horses a long time ago. He told me that it was incredibly relaxing. It bought back good memories form a long time ago and that he had not had many good memories in a long time. We also provide speech, physical and occupational therapies with the horse tbell. There is a lot of core strength that is worked and lots of different positions that you work into the therapy to work and strengthen different muscles. It is amazing. I saw a little girl who had never spoken before say her first words in our arena. I looked over to her mom and she was sobbing. On the physical therapy side, depending on what research you look at, the horse can replace anywhere from 26 to 34 pieces of physical therapy machinery. SLB -- I will have to take you up on the beer man.
