GM's thread about nothing (18 Viewers)

[Frostillicus]

Good news in the GMTAN. Love it.

Dare I hope a Steelers' fan runs this down to me?

Krista leaves job hell. Abe steps up for job opportunity. Uruk kicking tumor's ###. Good news after a run of bad news in the GMTAN.

And I mailed out my Secret Santa gift!!!!!!!

If we're doing the good news stuff we found out today we can refi the home loan and cut our monthly payment by 30% and the lender is picking up the closing costs.

What lender?

Is Alerus a thing?

UH> That's awesome news. Hopefully you'll make it back to Austin some time. If not, I'm going to be at a conference in Maryland next summer and will definitely look you up.

Abe> Good news on the job. We still need to do lunch again soon. Our legislative initiative is pretty much dead, so I should be pretty free most days once I make sure that the finger for the failure is pointed elsewhere.

Cos> Are you taking visitors this weekend? The boys are looking for something to do Saturday morning.

Pretty quiet day for me. I had a United Way Young Leader Society meeting tonight that reminded me again that I'm not all that young.

One guy who just walks in and is kind of standing there, looking around fits the bill so I make eye contact and yell "Chris?" He nods and walks over, we shake hands and I introduce myself by my slave name and his buddy comes over and introduces himself. We all sit down and there's a little bit of an awkward silence so I ask "So, you're in town for work?" "Yep. work." He asks me what I do and I tell him. A couple more minutes of small talk go by and Chris asks me how I knew his name. I'm a little confused because we've been exchanging texts throughout the day and I had just scanned the thread earlier and for some reason was reminded of this post, so all I could muster was "Aren't you Chris, from the internet?"

Hey, y'all. Someone here has a tumor half the size it used to be. And that piece of #### is on the run (the tumor, not me; I'd lose).

#### yea!

Kick its ###, Seabass!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Not to joke about cancer but my mother posted one of those goofy pics on Facebook that you're supposed to "Like if...."

It was "Like if you know someone who has survived or died from cancer". Way to narrow it down there.

Oooooohhhhhh Sofa.................. I have confirmation from the United States Post Office that a very special Christmasy box of joy will be delivered to home of Sofakings on this Friday. My goal all along was to get it to you before May, so I'm a little ahead of schedule. Please, note I included a letter with an inventory of prizes however, one item is not in the box which is a paperback novel titled "Black Ice". I bought it a couple years ago and figured that if I ever met Shuke in real life that then he would be facebook friends with me and then I'd find out his address and mail the book to him. That book was the last thing I was putting in the box and when I went to look for it I couldn't find it. I asked Little Zooks if he saw the book I left on the dinning room table and he said he saw it and he hid somewhere in the house because he thought that would be funny. He has no clue where he hid it. I didn't feel like updating the inventory on the letter because I was afraid that would delay me in mailing the package for another few months. I hope you and your family enjoy everything in the box.

I love you

That book was a figment of your imagination.

Seriously, I try hippling the entire board at night, and here I am at 12:30. I may have to quit the board again.

Confession: I have no idea what "hippling" is.

Finished "arbitrage". Pretty good. 7 out of 11 stars.

Hey UH I have been checking in and lurking lately, been bery busy at work, but I always keep an eye on any comments you make on how you are doing. This is awesome. Please put thing mf away and bury that #### sucker in a hole. Invite me when you do. GB ...continue to kick ###.And for the record, I use deodorant bar soap. It's cheap and last longer but makes my skin too dry. If I don't make my bi-monthly hooker loofa me my skin just isn't what it could be.

FBG Hipplelongwareetc loves to go into threads and respond to posts that were made hours/days/weeks before. If you go to the ends of the threads he goes to you'll probably find a long series of replies.

"Hippling"

 

[Abraham]

Thanks.

It's a GMTAM Festivus Miracle!!!!

 

[General Malaise]

TF's got a glorious head of hair and DID nab a foul ball probably before cos even made it to the top of the stairs (and gave it to a nearby kid, BTW).Good guys and good times.

That's a quality guy right there. All he wanted to do was catch a live foul ball and when he did? Gave it up.

what a loser

Chris the Greek? Or me?

 

[Abraham]

Tarantino movies would be so much better if he would quit being Tarantino.

30 minutes in and I see the fuss over chritoph waltz in this one. He is fantastic.

I fast two days a week (sort of, <600 calories, no booze 2 x per week) in hopes of not being such a pre-diabetic, artery clogged, hypertension, lardasss drunk, but on Tues/Wed I went back to back with it which was fine. But the first real thing i ate was a homemade calzone with cheese, meats, peppers, sauce, goodness, homemade dough and love. My ###### is a garden hose right now. Do not recommend. Oh, and the four beers I consumed today are acting like foam atop a tidal wave. Really cool

 

[Abraham]

Four beers causing trouble? Jesus, I really am a drunk.

 

[General Malaise]

well, four beers that were larger than 12 oz and on a stomach that hadn't had any for a few days + very little food + a cheese/meat/carb blast.

Fight it. Fight. It. You have the rest of your pale life to be healthy and sober. I command you to take a shot of Scope or something with alcohol in it.

Whoa. Uh, I'd expect that one to be changed. If 5dimes does that. And they shouldn't, because Werth sucks and never should have had that homer.

Proninja - I want a bicycle trailer to pull behind my bike for fishing excursions. I'd ije to haul 75-100 lbs. Anything I can buy under 150? It can be flatbed nothing fancy. I xan bungee my stuff down with some side rails

 

[cosjobs]

Collapsibe would be good so I can stash it and two bikes in the back of my Flex. The main thing is to carry a decebt sized ice chest filled wuth ice and fish. I can probably jerry rig the poles and tacles boxes

My autocorrect sucks. Training its like getting remarried. Hatdly worth the effort

Hey Uruk Hai's tumor: SPACE BATS!!!!

Space bats still working the magic here in Bali today.

I'll add some slight, potential good news here, which is that in addition to selling Casa Camila (closing scheduled for May 22--pleasehappenpleasehappenpleasehappen), I received an offer on my Memphis monstrosity today. Bad news is that it's really lowball...wondering if I should just reject it and tell them to try again or counter. It's been a while since I sold a house (company bought my Chicago house so I didn't go through it then), but I don't remember people coming in 20% below asking price. Is that usual these days?

 

[Crazy Canuck]

You guys who still use bar soap: Do you still listen to vinyl records because it is "more real"?

I use whatever soap the wife puts in the shower.

Never pegged Tanner for the fancy soap snob

The dirty secret about Tanner is he's more of a hipster snob than I am. No shtick.

Don't get me wrong, I love our grumpy Grandpa Hipster to death. But he's totally our Grandpa Hipster.

Yea, I was rolling with pathetic Bills fan shtick there, with some Rex Ryan flavor.

I really did get my first tattoo a couple days ago. It's really the Trystero muted horn from The Crying of Lot 49.

Yay! The good news keeps on coming in the GMTAN. I sold my house ~3 years ago and took about 20% less than asking, but that was also at the valley of the housing market decline. I did a spectacular job of buying high and selling low on that one. Oops
