GM's thread about nothing (40 Viewers)

How could I forget one of my proudest, self serving, moments? Politeness and manners are heavily stressed by me on my children. It might just be me but the world seems to be getting much more vulgar and in a bad way. Anyhow, at his party yesterday, Cal read every card out loud and gave a genuine thank you to each kid. One kid, Blake, gave him a bunch of stickers which Cal thought it would be a good idea to share them with everybody. After he was done, the host dude commented to Mrs. SLB that he has never witnessed a kid as polite as Cal. He certainly had never seen a kid share his presents with the other kids at a party.

When Blake's mom came to pick him up, she was almost in tears watching him play with Cal. Turns out Blake has autism too, more severe than Cal. She told Mrs. SLB that because of Cal's friendship, Blake has been a much happier kid. Things have been turning around for him. Blake even hand made the card for Cal. I think it said "my best friend" on the front. Stupid allergies. :cry:
:thumbup: :thumbup:

M.C.? Was Robbie Cooper there and did he get his sleeve done yet?

Herniated Disc. FML.

Wish I had a scintillating GM'esque story to go along with it. Pulling weeds. Sorry. :kicksrock:
You got a herniated disc from pulling weeds?

How big were these weeds? Did they look like this?
Not all of us are as low to the ground as you are.
:goodposting: :lmao:

Had surgery 9 years ago to fix a bad disc. Don't know if its the same one, or a new one. Either way, I'm probably looking at fusion. Ugh.

Gotcha. Old injuries suck. But, um, a little tip: from here on out tell people it was a shark attack or you beat off a bear (no euphemism) or something.

I am pretty sure if you did try to beat off a bear (as in make crock pot chicken for a wild animal), you would suffer a few more injuries than just a herniated disc in the beginning but by the end you would have a new friend.

 
Brought the family to the Cards game last night to celebrate Cal's birthday. Other than the score, it was awesome. They didn't fight or say they were bored or ask to leave. As a matter of fact, Dyl seems to have his first love which was mine as well at his age. Baseball. It seems to be all he wants to do now and that, like Jesus, is alright with me.

I told Cal he could get all he could eat so he took me up on it. (Pic of Cal and me.) Man, this kid can eat. He wanted to start with cotton candy but I told him to eat something more nutritious, like a hot dog. :mellow: Then he wanted to go get nachos. On his own. No worries, let him go. But then the cotton candy connection dried up. He spied them in the outfield and I was prepared to walk all the way around the stadium to get some. Hey a promise is a promise. When I notice a couple sneaking into the good seats and she had half a bags worth. Watch this I tell Cal. Go down a couple aisles her date/husband looked like WTF does this guy want and I offer her eight bucks for her stash. She says "are you serious" and I reply "you don't know how serious I am". I procure the cotton candy and everybody was happy. So much fun.
$8 for used candy seems high

 
CC > Does everyone watch Blue Velvet in film/lit class? That was one of the class assignments I had at Southwest Texas State. We watched a bunch of Kubrick and Lynch and then some Speilberg where the professor railed the whole time about what a hack Speilberg has always been.
Beats me. I've never taken a film class in my life.
This was in an English class,not film class. I needed an upper division English class and what better way to do it than to spend half the class watching movies?
 
I too would like to buy a new bike soon. I still have an old Trek 830 that's 20 years old. I'd like something more like a road bike so I don't feel like I'm working twice as hard just overcoming friction. Whatcha got under $1k?
At that price point your looking at an aluminum frame and Tiagra parts (brifters, derailleurs, etc). The tried and true is a CAAD 10 (it has the components one level up from Tiagra called 105s), but that's a little out of the price range. However, the bike frame will last forever and the more expensive components will last for a good 5 years. It'll also retain resale value.

At $1K, Cannondale and Specialized are generally more expensive as the "name" brands for what they deliver. Scott's Speedster 30 (I actually still use my 2008 frame for training) is $1K and still gets great reviews for what it delivers. More that anything though, make sure the bike fits and is comfortable.
I read this, and it's like I don't even own a bike. I understood none of this.

Thanks.

We won again (3 in a row). The other teams really don't like us. There were some actual booing going on when the M.C. introduced us as the reigning 2-time champs. And when we went up to get our trophies most of the crowd decided that was a good time to pack up and leave. :lmao:
:lmao:
The most hated trivia team in the Greater Bakersfield Area. [nerd alert]

The bald guy in the back and the dude to his right (hidden) were shammerd.

Sucks about the rule making you have girls on your team.

Agree Bob - it's a terrible reflection on parents when kids wander around mumbling and saying "yeah" and "Uh-huh."
Not sure if this is a shot at me because I certainly type "yeah" a lot but that's for effect and to make up for my poor writing skills. I don't actually say it. I do my very best to treat everybody with the same amount of respect be it a kid working the drive through at a fast food joint to a president of a multi million dollar company.

Token young guy. Does well with sports. Knew exactly how many championships the Lakers won in the 80s. Sucks at recent movies/music.

Technically I'm on their team. The woman with the glasses in the foreground (former prof of mine...she saved my ### one time, I owe her a ton) and the woman taking the pic sort of run everything. Plus we need to have someone with good handwriting to write our official answers down.

You can't see the red solo cup(s) in front of me. And, yes, she was milfy.

Thanks. I think I sold a house. I have an unreasonable sum of cash in my purse and a receipt showing a wire going from somewhere in Nicaragua to what I hope is my account in the US. We'll see.

My paper on Mulholland Drive:Dafuq?
I watched that movie twice and had no idea what it was about. What was that thing behind the dumpster?
It's Horror.

The first 3/4ths of the film is a dream by Diane, the blond girl (Naomi Watts). My theory is each scene has one predominant emotion to it, with each emotion relating to Diane being treated cruelly by her former lover, Camille (the busty brunette) at a director's party. Diane then has Camille killed. Each of the scenes in first 3/4ths of the film are DIane working out her regret, horror, etc. over having the woman she loved murdered.

The scene at Winkie's diner is about her horror. Winkie's is where she met the hit man and took out the contract. So the thing behind the diner (i.e. behind the act) is the horror of what she did. It's pure horror.

I paused the movie on Naomi Watt's nipple a few times.

Thanks GB. I peaked. You make it sound pretty good.

Is this a sequel to Mulholland Falls?

Jennifer Connelly in that one was like woah.
 
The Child currently has his girlfriend over for their first playdate.

There's no manly way to describe the romance between six year olds, so I'm just going to say it: omg they are so freaking cute.
