GM's thread about nothing (51 Viewers)

i'm bored of trying to pass the time until my 3:30 shows up. who the heck schedules a meeting at 3:30 the friday before a long weekend anyway? i was totally going to go home and take a nap before picking my daughter up from school too, but my boss wanted to talk with this guy about some work we're going to do for him. i should probably just go meditate or something :shrug:
Wait, Monday is a holiday? :excited: This changes everything!
remembering the day that Martin Luther King, Jr died on a cross for our sins so we could plant trees, remember people who fought in wars and dress up in costumes going door to door begging for candy... or something like that
:thumbup: Can I just stay home and drink? Wait, that's like every Monday.
Yes, but it has to be Olde English 800.
I worked summers at a truck manufacturing plant in college and the white guys used to bring in fried chicken and watermelon for the black guys on Juneteenth, which is Emancipation Day in Texas. That doesn't seem to be the kind of thing you should be able to get away with.
I thought Texas wasn't the South?

 
Speaking of what airlines are aloud to do, my trip next week includes a 24-hour layover in London, which I selected on purpose with the idea that I'd have a day to poke around there. But now I realize that I am flying into London City airport but out of Heathrow. Anyone (read: Krista) know if they will give me my checked bags to schlep across London, or will the airline transport them?
I'm not going to be very helpful as the only time I've checked bags is when I moved a household to Nicaragua. My assumption is that when you check in, they will check your bags to their final destination (which is what, by the way? :) ), but if in doubt you might just want to call the airline.
Final destination via air is Dublin. But I'll be tooling around the west of Ireland for most of the trip. I also selected a 9-hour layover in Paris for the same reason. I'm nuts.
What day of the week is your trip? You might be able to catch a soccer match at one of the local clubs' stadiums.
I'll be in London on Wednesday 1/29

It's the only London match that day, but it's a derby match (two local London rivals playing each other) between Chelsea and West Ham and it's the Premier League. That would be cool to go to (even though it's Chelsea and West Ham; I'm an Arsenal fan).

 
Is it OK when I take my daughter to school to punch a boy in her kindergarten class in the face?? Or do I start with the kids parents first??

Came home yesterday and my wife tells me that my 5 year old had been really moody, and after school said she was having a bad day but didn't want to talk about it. I sat down with her and got her to tell me that a boy in her class named Lord (yes the little ####ers name is Lord, who the hell decides that is a good name for a kid) was making fun of her when she dropped some stuff while trying to put her coat/mittens/boots in her locker. It sounds like he has made fun of her in the past. She started crying saying she didn't want to go to school anymore.
Probably shouldn't punch the kid. Have your daughter start calling him "Gay-Lord". The nickname will stick and drive the kid to suffer mental anguish throughout his life which will be worse than the pain your daughter is going through right now. Also, it will lead to him hating his parents for naming him "Lord" causing grief to the parents. Now you are able to get revenge on GayLord and his dooshy parents wthout resorting to physical violence. YIA.
Jesus, this is brilliant! Zooks?
Yeah, except for the part where this five-year old has no clue what "gay" means for another few years.

 
I'll be in London on Wednesday 1/29Chelsea plays West Ham that day now that I look. Tickets about $65 US. I don't know jack #### about soccer but very interesting.
Doesn't matter, just go. The atmosphere in English soccer stadiums is just fun. It's a great peek into a unique part of British culture the same way that it would be for someone from another country to go to a college football game in the states.

Oh I'm serious that I'm interested. I saw sumo and baseball in Japan, played St. Andrew's in Scotland. Soccer in England is right up my alley. But still I don't know jack #### about the sport.

 
Back in high school I never sat at the cool kids table during lunch. This is that place I think, just morphed into a singular message board thread. So many buttons. I call this seat, I think I will write my name on it with a permanent marker.
I don't think you've got this thread figured out as well as you think you do. Anyone's welcome, But if you act like you're owed something and we should fawn over you, it's going to go about like it's going. Grow some hard bark, pull up a chair, make a shot video, and relax a bit.
Pickles> can we take this one out back and shoot it? TIA
why?
We need the target practice?

 
The whole Kellen Winslow masturbating/weed/Boston Market story sounds like a story that one of us would tell in here.
go on... :popcorn:
“As she stood near the open driver-side window of the Escalade, she observed the males erect penis,” the report said. “She stated she believed he was masturbating.”


The woman, whose name is redacted in the report, then notified police.

Winslow’s genitals were not exposed when an officer arrived at the parking lot to question him, but the cop said he did observe “two open containers of Vaseline on his center console.” Winslow told the officer that he had pulled into the parking lot to get directions for a Boston Market.

The cop also spotted “many empty plastic containers of Funky Monkey” and “plastic bags of Mr. Happy” scattered in the vehicle.

“He stated that he smokes the ‘legal’ synthetic marijuana to help him relax,” the police report said. “He said he purchases the items via the Internet and at local gas stations. He added that the NFL does not test for synthetic marijuana.”

And the Boston Market marketing department collectively says, "Thanks for the unwanted dirty sexually based meme mentioning us, #######! :angry: "

:lmao:

And Lord is probably short for Gaylord.

 
i'm bored of trying to pass the time until my 3:30 shows up. who the heck schedules a meeting at 3:30 the friday before a long weekend anyway? i was totally going to go home and take a nap before picking my daughter up from school too, but my boss wanted to talk with this guy about some work we're going to do for him. i should probably just go meditate or something :shrug:

The only thing that's non-intuitive in soccer, IMO, is offsides. It's weird, and there are situations where it doesn't make sense:

At the moment when a forward pass is made, there can't be anyone on the team of that's making the pass that's further up the field than everyone else on the opposing team (excluding the opposing team's goalie). So you can't "cherry pick" and just run behind everyone and stand next to the goalie and wait until someone plays a long pass to you.

That's pretty much it. 11 guys a side, a foul in the big box = penalty kick, a foul anywhere else = free kick, red card = player has to sit out rest of match, 2 yellow cards = one red card, most goals wins, ties are common, Chelsea sucks.

It is. And I have some bull#### stuff to get done before I leave for the long weekend. I'm contemplating just having you cover it for me. Cool?

The most important rule.

Come to think of it you'd probably have blast if you made an effort to watch the game with the West Ham visiting fans. The fans who travel to away matches tend to be the most raucous, and they're all segregated together into one corner of the stadium. You'll likely spend the entire game surrounded by people standing and singing customized filthy chants and songs directed either at Chelsea or, in West Ham's case, at their own team.

The only downside is that you'd have to llearn

Oh I understand how the game is played, even that dumb offsides rule, I just never got into teams, players, storylines, etc. Also Premier, Champions, FA, WBA, WBC WBO and whatnot are all greek to me (how many leagues are these teams in for christ's sake?)

Oh, that's right, you like the pure excitement that is "real football", where guys in huge pads can't touch each other anymore in order to tackle them, and where there is more time spent watching commercials than game action.

 
BTW, the expectation will of course be that we'll get a shot video from Stamford Bridge complete with chanting and game action in the background...

EPL

Those bottom 3 teams in light blue get kicked out of the top league and down to the second league. That's really bad. The top team, duh, wins, and the Top 5 teams are eligible for the Champions League.

But really it comes down to Chelsea = trying to win league, West Ham = trying not to get kicked out of league.

Chelsea's coach also hates the Spanished. Like really hates the Spanished.

 
remember when woz said he could beat up Fuller? that was pretty funny.
I don't remember this. Did it have something to do with Woz being able to ejaculate half a hi-ball?
Woz was full of himself because he worked out so he just assumed he was bigger and badder than the average poster here.

I think Fuller made fun of him or something and woz's response was along the lines of "you realize I can probably kick your ### right?"

 
I may have skimmed a little to catch up, but why would he need two open containers of vaseline? Even if he was using both hands at once, wouldn't one container be ok?
