Well that and there's no way to seriously ask someone what they'd do in a hand. Just by asking, you're corrupting the process.
Thanks, Heisenberg.
Wow, you picked up on that?
First Imp, now Frosty...
I don't get it
Mr P refuses to accept the fact that both of you are really really smart
:confused:

I think they're pretty smart.
Everyone is smart, okay? Even Doug, who seems to be particularly worried about people thinking he's dumb.
 
Lastly,

Arn> positive karma your way.

YSR (CC: shuke)> For some reason I was giggling like a school girl about "ripped it and gripped it" when I remembered what Mrs. CC's friends did to her at her baby shower. Pray you don't have friends like this. They threw a great party and she received plenty of wonderful gifts, but then the cold heartless Hollywood hispters ended it with a video compilation of notorious bad births in films, headlined by (attn: shuke) the birth scene in Eraserhead.

To this day my wife refuses to watch that movie. Gripped it and ripped it indeed.
My wife's friends had "Rosemary's Baby" on in the background at her bridal shower. Of course, 15 years ago we were the first in the group - by far - to have kids, so everyone then was very ironic about someone actually "giving birth" to a "baby." These same women are now past 40, pushing around strollers, and desperately serious about preparing their toddlers to get into pre-school.

You guys are all a bunch of Rode Schoolers.

Mrs. Britney Spears is moving up the ranks. The "soon-to-be-Mrs. Disco Stu" is my top prospect and appears to be a breakout candidate this summer.
Mrs. SLB spent most of the day drinking with silly hot at the pool. After the cocktail party me and new Bff suggested another bar. Silly says "I just told Pepper, if I have one more drink, I'm going to be all over her" Then she gave me this sly smile and she has a beautiful one. I actually made a little of teh juice I was so aroused. We decided it was best to depart ways and call it a night at that point.

I almost lost it in a meeting yesterday thanks to this thread.The meeting was for a kid that has some very minor special needs. I won't have him until next year but they (the mom is super paranoid and over-protective) want all of his future teachers to know what strategies work with this kid.One of the big issues with this kid is that he loves to read. If you don't stay on him he will read instead of doing his class work. The PE teacher said he's even had to talk to the kid about trying to read while running laps.One of his current teachers was saying that the kid actually has resorted to sleight-of-hand when it comes to reading. If a teacher tells the kid to put away the book he is reading the kid will do it...but he actually got another book hidden under his jacket or desk that he will pull out as soon as the teacher isn't looking. The guy telling the story said "You think you've got him to put away his reading book and BAM there's another Garfield book."At that moment I flashed back to this:

'St. Louis Bob', on 24 Mar 2013 - 10:53, said:

"Cal has his own e-mail account He mostly uses it to send me pictures of Garfield. "

For some reason I couldn't stop laughing. Got some looks for the kid's mom and my principal.Whatever. That's my story for the day.

Too bad your camera phone broke when you jumped in that pool.

I'm pretty sure I first heard about this website here, a long time ago, but I'll put it here because this post reminded me of it again.

Garfield Minus Garfield

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

:lmao: :lmao: To be more accurate, the "we" was the girls decided we call it a night. She was very much incorporated in spirit later though. I'll try to get a pic later. Think I'm breaking the cat shirt out tonight.
 
Can someone explain the "Romo" schtick and who exactly that is to someone who has been reading this thread for about the last 200 pages, but still feels like GM holding a Coaxial cable in one hand and a USB 2.0 in the other?
I posted this picture of my husband a couple of years ago, saying that it was somewhat uncanny how much he resembled Romo when he had his hat turned backwards.

Since then, he's met a bunch of GMTAN hooligans at coshole and the consensus was that there is very little actual resemblance to Romo. But until we have a better nickname for him, "Romo" it is.
Jasper down?

 
I'm on the beach in/on Borneo and about to fire up some Wires. Not sure if that's awesome, pathetic, or both.
I don't think there's much you could do on a beach in Borneo that would be pathetic. Maybe posting in the Shark Pool.
:lmao:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The underappreciated Season 2 of Wires is underappreciated. I think it's more interesting than Season 1.
We just finished episode 8. We've been absolutely slammed of late, so if we get 2 episodes in per week, we're doing fabulous. But I agree with you completely. I LOVE these union guys, the Greeks and especially like how they got the band back together. Also, lots more bosoms!@!!!111

You think Imp's a WWF cheater too?
:lmao:

Well, since he brought it up: I stopped playing FB Scrabble with him a few years ago. At one point, he played "xysti" (which, if memory serves me correctly, is an obscure Greek word for a gymnasium) and then some other obscure word for a type of fruit (can't, for the life of me, remember the word). I think xysti was on a TW and then the fruit was a bingo and they were played back to back. That was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back for me. :shrug:

Regardless of whether he's a cheater, it just wasn't fun/we weren't evenly matched. Maybe that just makes me a sore loser, but I did accuse him of cheating back then.

Now I pretty much only have three-ways with GM and 'Zooks. :pickle:
I'm going to be honest with you here: Now that I know there's cheating, I can't promise I won't. I also can't promise it will make a difference in my ability. :bag:

Did I know that Tanner was a Wire watcher? Rankings going up.
I actually didn't watch it until last year or so. Ended up watching every season in about 3 weeks. Great show.

 
Alright, figured I haven't posted much here recently, so might as well give a little update. lol, ok... A long rambling update without any real payoff, yet.There's this girl that I really like. She reminds me a bit of a younger, girl version of me with a bit more of a sexy nerd twist to her. Lets call her nerdy girl. The path to anything happening is long, winding and full of landmines, but I've never been known for letting a challenge deter me from putting forth a valiant effortFor starters, she's a good bit younger than me. While not a huge hurdle in my mind, 23 year olds aren't exactly out there searching for the perfect 35 year old divorced guy with a kid. Oh and then there's the fact that we work together, well until I start my new role on Monday. And I guess it's more than just working together...technically I'm her mentor :bag:As Bogart so eloquently put it in his coshole write up, my game is akin to Bill Laimbeer, so I'm not exactly subtle when I like a girl. She obviously caught on and we had some good talks about it. She put me squarely in friend zone based on circumstances (she could report to me one day, I have a kid, etc). That said, we have pretty much become best friends over the past month. I have seen her every work day and probably half of the weekend days. We have texted every single day for the past month (since i tried to ramp things. A bit).She has epilepsy and had a seizure earlier this year so she can't drive right now. She was helping me with my 2 week long brainstorming and I gave her a ride to and from every day with some great, candid chats during the ride and in her parking lot. There were some days when i would pull into her driveway before 5 and we would just it there chatting til almost 6 without realizing it. Just a great, fun connection, but as nothing more than friends.So, she had been pescatarian but wanted to get back to eating meat (insert juvenile joke here) because she's been teaching fitness classes on the side and needs more protein (insert Woz joke here), so she volunteered me to BBQ for her and our mutual friends this past Saturday. She was the first one here and by mid-afternoon most of our other friends had gone except for one couple. We ended up drinking a ton and smoking til we were all sufficiently toasted and then went bar hopping. Great fun...The only issue is that I already had a date planned for Saturday night. It was my third date with a doctor and the second ended in a sleepover :coffee: Apparently Doctor had gotten tickets to the Peter Frampton show, which I had forgotten about because the only time we talked about it was when I was super tired and drunk. I knew I was supposed to meet her around 7:30, but I was pretty messed up by that time and enjoying my evening with my friends so I texted her that i was running late. She texted me "it's intermission before the last set - not sure what planet you're on where that's ok" Yeah, oops... Pretty much killed any possibilities with that one, which is too bad because she can see the Reds' stadium from her balcony. That could have been a lot of fun this summer. :kicksrock:Anyway, after bar hopping for a bit, our friends dropped nerdy girl off at her place and that was that. Well, except for the fact that we went shopping and had lunch together the next day. I had a date lined up with Crazy (from previous stories) that I had to push back because we were having fun and going longer than expected. Just a super fun day with both of us nursing hangovers. So our friendship had basically #### blocked me twice last weekend and I was perfectly fine with that.Today she texted me that she owed me a drink (not sure if its for all the rides I gave her or work stuff I helped her with this week :shrug: ) and wanted to know if Thursday would work. Well, Thursday I was planning on cleaning up my place for DerbyHole and then meeting up with Crazy, but like a moth to a light I told her that would be perfect.There is pretty much no way this ends well, but hey, it should be a fun journey at the very least :banned: :oldunsure: :banned:
I say enjoy the friendship until you move to the new position Monday. Then bring your game again like a big throbbing heat seeking missile looking to smash out of the friend zone shell.

From what you say, I bet my left nut this girl is really conflicted. She likes you, Gust. She definitely likes you. She's just trying to do the right thing, professionally speaking. She's young and career-minded, but doesn't want to be one of those office girls: either the one who uses her young booty to climb the ladder or The Office Ho. IMO this speaks very well of her.

Wait until you start your new role Monday, then *try* to make some subtle moves. I bet she responds.

Keep us posted. :popcorn:
Oh bs. She hot and ready to go. She'd drop her panties quicker than SLB drops a Panera gift card.

 
It's taken us 3 months to get through 1.5 seasons. :bag:

But we are absolutely savoring it. Even the slow episodes are cool because you can just feel the drama building and you know - with just a few left in the season - there's going to be fireworks.

I don't get it

I'm just gonna throw out there that Pickles stopped playing me in WWF after I beat him twice in a row. :coffee:
So you cheat?

Netflix only has it available on DVD so it took me a couple of months to get through all 5 seasons. I could easily start watching it again from the beginning within the next few months.

Oh, Herro Tanner
:lmao: At one point I put that pic up on my classroom TV and then took a picture of it...and then posted. It was like all "Inception" like. I just can't find it now.
