I just realized GM blew me off for getting together today.

On another front, on which secondary market does one sell event tickets most profitably these days?

Killing them softly is not very good.

Zero dark not that good either.

[krista4]

Thanks, guys. And happy birthday belatedly, Abe! Sounds like you have a fun night planned.

Another message board I'm on has announced a preemptive strike against North Korea since Austin was one of his targets. So far we're going armed with tomahawks, a slingshot, three dogs (including one angry beagle), a canoe (Navy), four model rockets (air power), an incontinent cat, three cans of beans, three pistols, six original flavor 4Loko, pepper spray, a quarter staff, bow & arrows and nunchuks. Should be a pretty good fight.

It used ot be that when I was hippling and wanted to get back to where I was after a post, I could just hit alt+ <- twice and I'd be right where I left off. That doesn't work anymore and every hipple costs me 2-3 minutes to find where I was before. Does anyone understand what I'm saying and have a solution for me?

And i thought Shuke was smart. And I guess he is, but not compared to you.

My way is way better.

You need at least a couple of water balloon launchers and some boom boxes to smoke out Kim, Noriega style.

 

[shuke]

We got there around 6 and were originally planning to just stay for an hour or two at most.

good one

 

[shuke]

Holy MFS! Was that Steve Earle I just saw on Wires? This changes everything!

Almost ruined the series for me.

 

[Disco Stu]

I really can't wait to hear the Uni vs Stu story tomorrow.

Seriously the only interesting thing posted in the last 3 pages.

Nothing really exciting. I was kinda hoping Stu's big friend Dan (who I drunkenly kept calling Don all night by mistake, damnit) would pull a Homer and dump beer all over a stripper or something, but everything was fairly tame. It had been a long time since I had been to a strip club.. Not sure exactly how much I spent but there were multiple trips to the ATM involved. Way too drunk. I'm a big fat idiot.

I felt bad because I think Stu had to be up at 8 this morning to take his son camping or some such. We got there around 6 and were originally planning to just stay for an hour or two at most. I think it was after midnight and I was still forcing Stu to stay because I fell in love with one particular blonde girl. We smoked many cigarettes on the patio. Very classy. She was probably the hottest 26 year old with four kids (ages 11, 8, 6, and 3) I've ever met... She dialed her number in my phone and said we should go out sometime. Seems like a great idea, what could go wrong?

Was a fun day though. I want to do Opening Day every weekend.

ETA: Just remembered that I made out with blonde stripper for several minutes. I think I have an assigned seat on Stu's Herpes Bus now. Never hanging out with that degenerate again.

This sounds mostly accurate. Except I was supposed to leave at 8. After getting all the gear together and loading the car. Almost sent an "I hate you" text at 7am but didn't have time. <_<

And I thought you said "mother of the four" was 22.

Were the kids well behaved?

anyone ever de-thatch a lawn?

Never have. A lot of things I've read say you're better off core aerating instead.

 

[shuke]

my day

Been working way too hard and long, so I decided to drive out to the country and buy some laying hens. Guy had 10 to sell me, so I am off to the west side of Elgin. Guy told to take the highway toward Bastrop, which I assumed was 21, but that was actually 17 miles past 95, that I had passed close to half an hour ago. I loop around and go back, only baout an hour late.

We go into his coop, stepping over the foot and a half fence at the bottom of the coop door, He uses some kind of big chicken net to snare thee hens and put them in the box, which lift up and carry off to the car. Forgetting the foot and a half fence in the doorway, that of course trips me. I go sprawling forward, holding the box in front of me nad it hits the ground, shortly followed by my chin that smacks onto the edge of it. My knees and elbows are skinned and I'm literally seeing stars. A few moments later I regain my senses and load the box in the back of the car. We repeat twice (both times with me standing safely outside the coop, safe from the nefarious threshold.

I get all three boxes loaded into the back of the car and to make sure they don't escape, I thorw a piece of memory foam on top of the boxes to hold the lid down. I thought I was being smart, since if I hit the brakes hard, the foam wouldn't fall off. I finally get home an hour later and back up to my coop to let the hens out and in the first box only two are alive, the other two dead. THe other two boxes each contain three dead chickens. They felt hot as hell. I guess their body heat with the memory foam on top just made them to hot and they all freaking died.

Now my wife's pissed and our friend staying with us is back in her bedroom crying.

Nice to have a few hours off on a Saturday afternoon...

fml

Sorry to hear about this. Are you going to eat them?

 

[shuke]

I remember ERIC Davis.

 

[shuke]

since Shuke used his Golden Corral gift certificate.

Even I have standards. Albeit low. I was just thinking tonight, if I was single, I'm not sure what would prevent me from getting one of those $5 Little Caesers pepperoni pizzas 7 nights a week.

Ummmm, because they're not good and then you'd be a fat #### that no one would want to bang if they weren't legally obligated to do so.

Oh, they're good.

 

[shuke]

Tanner> very sorry to hear about your aunt.

 

[shuke]

Bob- those cheap can liners you sent me had to be quadrupled-bagged and then put into a carboard box to accommodate 8 dead hens. I thin some sort of a rebate/refund may be in order/

This is what you get for buying can liners instead of trash bags.

Huh. How about that? I like Steve Earl. I like Wires. I had no idea that was Steve Earl on Wires. Not sure why that would ruin it for you, hoss.

Wife sent some dude she used to know in high school some samples of oils to help him with something or other that cost her like $10. He reciprocated with four bottles of wine from the vineyard he works at that sell for a total of $75. She's convinced the oils must have really helped him, but there's almost no way that this dude doesn't just want to bone her, right?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Killing them softly is not very good.

Zero dark not that good either.

I would agree. I watched a few this weekend to catch up with the rest of the world. Watched Zero Dark Thirty Friday night. The synopsis style leading up the raid was nearly unwatchable at times. I also thought the dialogue was awful, for the most part. I wasn't a fan of the acting, but I think the writing was the main culprit. The last hour or so focusing on the raid was well done. My palms were sweating. I imagine it went down much like it was shown. I don't think Kathryn Bigelow is a very good director. It's like she tried to remake The Hurt Locker. Also saw Argo. I was very impressed as it had every feel of 1979/80. These embellished docudramas don't always work (painfully linear story, overblown drama), but this was entertaining and believable. Loved the closing scene with the Star Wars diorama. Had a Jennifer Lawrence fix: The Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook. I'm a bit ashamed to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the former.. way more than I thought I would. Like anything borne out of tween fiction, the story is so derivative you have to think Collins could barely make a dime off it. I wasn't much of a fan of the guy playing Peeta, but I don't know if I was meant to. Woody was excellent. Silver Linings turned out to be a movie about DeSean Jackson. Who knew. It's hard to believe Jennifer Lawrence was the same girl from The Hunger Games. Pretty impressive range. She's a true talent. Good movie overall. A little hokey, but funnier than I expected. I love a movie that lets the characters shine.

 

[Abraham]

Watching Skyfall. Thanks for voting.

No matter how many times i see that Dikembe Mutombo commercial, I laugh every time. You could punch me in the nuts and make me listen Goo Goo Dolls greatest hits while shaving Kathy Bates' legs and if that commercial came on I'd start cracking up.

Still funny.

I usually can get semi-obscure science and/or literature references, so I'm guessing this is either really deep or something bachelor or Mellyhole related.

Zero Dark is like United 93. Something that weighty you have to nail. They didn't nail it.
