GM's thread about nothing (63 Viewers)

[Thorn]

Wait, so now I'm chubby and old?

now?

 

[Osaurus]

PSA: Some really nice descriptive work in the "Sugarless Gummies" thread, notably by EG72.

Is it a honda if George Takei tweeted this a few days ago?

 

[krista4]

quick question for the jimtanners: in krista's potential move to seattle, one of the neighborhoods she's looking at is bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

good idea?

We make the same comment every time we see that street in any city.

By the way, I'm in the first part of Episode 3 of Breaking Bad, and Walter White is emptying the pissbucket!

ETA: Come to think of it, our comment in Seattle was that it was the nicest MLK street we'd ever seen.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

So, I'm taking that job. Big pay upgrade and a good opportunity to learn another aspect of the business, while growing a new office. There will be travel 1-2 times per month, but I'm assured no travel 4-6 weeks prior to due date and getting paid paternity leave. All that, plus working with 2 of my best friends, who I respect and who respect me, how could I say no?

Now the hard parts. The most difficult being telling my mom that I am moving 4.5 hours away with her first unborn grandchild while she is going through all that BS with her father. Now my mom is having blood pressure issues. My dad will take it just fine I think. Sister will be upset, but happy for us too.

The other hard part is finding a place to rent for 6-12 months in a decent area outside of Philly with access to the regional rail for my daily commute, and not too far from the airport for the days where I travel to a city in the morning, and fly back that evening.

Congrats!!!! It's hard to imagine a job that sounds more ideal for you than this one. Am incredibly happy for you.

It's been all down hill for you since the Yao Ming shot video. But I still love you despite you being a fat old man.

I think Fish is to Columbia City what GM is to most urban centers.

I think I'd choose a suburb closest to your parents house, so when they want to come see you or you go see them, at least neither of you have to drive through the metro Philly area to get there. Or just choose the best area within the city proper (Chestnut Hill).

I'm looking at West Chester and Media primarily at the moment. I just don't want a 45 minute drive to the train and then another 30-45 on it. I guess that won't be horrible, it just will be a huge adjustment for me being that I work literally 3 minutes from where I live now.

My wife lived in Media for a while when she was a kid. If you want to know ANYTHING about Media PA circa 1982 she can tell you. Actually if don't want to know she'll still tell you.

Yeah, Portland's MLK Blvd is rather tame too. Still, for years, it was the ONLY street in the entire city that had a Popeye's.

So I appeared in Dept 55 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Central District this morning, and who do I have to ask to get out of the way of the posted court docket outside the courtroom than Gene Simmons.

He was just standing there, hanging out because he's got some sort of case pending somewhere. He looks pretty much the same in real life as you'd expect, and he was wearing some dark, basically monochromatic suit/shirt/tie combo but not really looking all that natty, which for him was perfect. Practicing law in LA is funny sometimes.

The second one with the t-shirts!

natty?

 

[GroveDiesel]

So Homer and a 4 year old are walking in the woods when the 4 year old says "Gee mister, it's pretty spooky in the woods." Homer nods his head and replies "How do you think I feel? I'm the one that has to walk out of here by myself."

 

[T Bell]

natty?

Oh, right. No, I don't mean the beer, I mean this:

nat·ty1ˈnatē/adjectiveinformaladjective: natty; comparative adjective: nattier; superlative adjective: nattiest1.(esp. of a person or an article of clothing) smart and fashionable."a natty blue blazer and designer jeans"										synonyms:							smart, stylish, fashionable, dapper, debonair, dashing, spruced up, well-dressed, chic, elegant, trim; More

This is pretty much the way he looked, except with a suit shirt and tie on. No shades or anything.
