GM's thread about nothing (45 Viewers)

Tanner: We're playing Stinky Fingers who is guster and someone named Mike who may or may not be Gadzooks. Since I think his name is Mike.

Bad news: We're down 145-101 as we go to Monday football

Good news: They have Blair Walsh left. We have Josh Freeman, Hakeem Nicks, Adrian Peterson, Josh Brown, and the Vikings defense. According to yahoo's projections we're going to have the highest score in the league this week. Everything is turning around since I started paying attention.

 
I hate Peyton Manning. I think I'm going to have another Busch Light before scraping up my 7 month old off the floor (hes been sleeping for like an hour) and put him in his crib.

Frosty, what do you want for your broken iPad? I have 2 horse masks. One if which I'm willing to part with. Also have a half eaten bag of honey BBQ flavor twists.

It's technically my wife's Ipad since I bought it for her, and I told her I had all these interesting trade possibilities and she said she wants to keep it and figure out how to get it fixed, even though she hasn't really moved on that front in nearly the year since it's been broken. I even told her I could maybe get moose steaks and she acted all grossed out like some kind of girl. I really don't think the honey BBQ flavor twists are going to get it done.

 
Taking Zach camping for scouts this weekend. 40% of rain, low of 34 Saturday night.
This was PRETTY FREAKING COLD.
We were at Camp Friedlander this weekend. My son built this, covered it with leaves, then spent the night in there with just a camping mat and his sleeping bag. Me? I kept warm by smoking a cigar with the other adults as the scouts had to locate and cook their "survival" lunch (cans of spaghettios or beef stew with labels removed) using compasses and paper.He said he was actually warmer in there than he was in the unheated bunks we used the rest of the time.

The rain really sucked but it cleared out by dinner time.

We were also at Friedlander.

Your picture isn't viewable.

Is your son a boy scout? Was this for wilderness survival merit badge? I remember doing that (no adult supervision or food either, though), but that that was in the middle of summer. It's one of the reasons I quit scouts.

Yes and yes, though the boys working on that one still have some stuff to finish up on it. 16 scouts went with the troop. 6 decided to sleep in their shelters, 5 made it all night.

You should have had breakfast with us - two waffles cooked on the grill with a sausage patty in the middle. A big improvement over Saturdays breakfast, which was a layer of bacon in the bottom of a brown lunch bag, cracked an egg on top, roll up the bag and place it directly on the hot coals from the campfire. It worked if you were careful, but you still ended up picking pieces of the bag off the bacon.

Pic should be fixed.

Beware of the " fitness mom" minefield conversation with your wife. I hadn't heard about it and she made me look it up. I said I didn't see the big deal and based on this: " Kang, who runs two board-and-care homes for the elderly, says she doesn't profit from fitness and just wants to help people get healthy. She runs an unpaid nonprofit, Fitness Without Borders, a free Mom-Me Fit Club that meets in public parks three times a week and free 12-week family fitness boot camps." she didn't seem like a bad person.

Seemed reasonable to me but it resulted in my wife storming out of the room :shrug:
This actually went surprisingly well in my house. No anger.

Why would anyone get pissed at someone else's personal hobby? Women are so touchy.
 
Watching the rerun of the season premiere of SNL. Arcade Fire is like a family of inbreeds trying to play the Talking Heads. I can't believe there are people that have been fooled into believing that they're worth listening to.
:thumbup: They're freaking terrible. Not sure who is worse...AF or Mumford and Sons.
Mumford and Sons are incredible. Cats and Pixies suck.
Oh please.
Good morning gramps.

Proud father, tl;dr alert....

Formerly pre-gay 5th grader Kellen Malaise and all his 5th grade classmates are encouraged to participate in something called "Make a Difference Day" in which they can create and organize an altruistic project of some kind for the benefit of mankind (or animal kind, for those Tanner4's who prefer four legged creatures to two). Kellen decided to organize a neighborhood food drive, something that excited me greatly as I ran 3 of them when I was in college and know a thing or two about a thing or two (I was the 1995 Mississippi Food Network Citizen of the Year :bowtie: ).

First stop, Albertsons, where we procured 250 paper bags (we did a door count of all the houses in our closed-end neighborhood - 216). Next, Kellen created a flier, I tweaked it and we printed off 250 fliers at my office on bright yellow paper (thanks Boss!). Then Kellen stapled all the fliers to the bags and distributed them by the front door of every house on a Friday. Flier had instructions to fill the bag up and leave out on Sunday.

Sunday the entire family rolled up our sleeves and went to work collecting the food. We had wagons, we had a stroller, we had fists-full of enthusiasm and perfect weather. People greeted the boys at the doors with generosity and smiles. If they didn't give food, they gave us empty cans/bottles to collect the 5 cent return (we returned them all on Friday, spending two hours feeding them in one by one, all for $23.55). Some gave a check. Bags of food piled up in our garage and it was simply astonishing to witness the joy on the faces of both my sons, who spent 5 hours on a Sunday going door to door to door asking for food.

My wife organized everything in our living room and I did an informal weigh in yesterday. I am a practitioner of MOP Math, so the numbers could be a little 'off'...but using my calculations, this food drive raised nearly 600 pounds of food and over $40 in donations. That's good enough for 4th place in the Portland Area for privately run Food Drives. Not too shabby and more proud of my family I could not be.

Thank you for reading, I will now tip-toe back into feckless Forrest territory.

Damn, GM. You even got high praise from Grumpy Gus.

Impressive.

:lmao: I'm probably one of the happiest guys here. I'm at my happiest when you choke on a crate of boners.

 
So you won't have to go to the grocery store for a year? Brilliant!
You see, there are these neat inventions called freezers, refrigerators, cabinets and pantries. They are used by people who buy more food than they can eat at the time of purchase. They are used for 'storage' much like the 15 gallon capacity of many gas tanks is used to stored more fuel than you need for the day.
