GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

[phrozen]

This Sunday is always a hard one. I have to try to remember what I usually do on Sundays without football. The good news is I have about 6 hours extra in the day (as i won't be watching football) but at the same time I miss football :-/

might have to check out some olympic stuff on demand.

Mimosas & scrapple for breakfast.

Mata & I got half-crocked and went to Wal Mart yesterday to pick up some stuff. I normally avoid that joint like the plague, but I had a couple of gift cards to use. I think we managed to offend pretty much everyone we saw between being horny, loud, and not giving a ####. I think we also bought a couple of bacon bowls on line last night after seeing a commercial on TV. I do remember buying a wok from Amazon (Wal Mart didn't have any - wtf?).

I had scrapple for breakfast as well

love the stuff

oh I figured I give the thread a shot so OMG HI 2 EVERYONE!!!

Welcome, phrozen & Henry! Big fan of both. Welcome also, DSP, though you haven't been around long enough to have elicited a "fan" or "no fan" feeling from me.

so are you a fan of Rapa Scrapple?

I grew up on the Eastern Shore so scrapple is a staple of breakfast.

Our local Whole Foods started to carry organic Scrapple which I must say is pretty good. Rapa is a little better but I can give with the organic stuff.

Oh, HELL yes! Rapa it was. We used to make it at home, too, but I still like Rapa better.

on the Eastern Shore they have a yearly scrapple festival - it is all things scrapple since Rapa is located on the eastern shore of Delaware. Good times.

One of our cats has decided to take up the charming habit of chewing through cords. We've bought two new ethernet cords just this week, and this morning as I was watching the Olympics, POW, suddenly no TV because he had chewed through the DirecTV receiver cord.

Finding a DirecTV receiver cord on a Sunday in the South could be challenging, but after a few tries I spotted, on a list of DirecTV retailers within 50 miles of Atlanta, the name "Henry Le" and said to Mr. krista, "He'll answer." Sure enough, he picked up and claims to have what we need, though he's not in the shop address that is listed on the DirecTV site. Instead he said he would text the address and we had to be there within two hours.

Mr. krista now has cash-in-hand and is on his way to meet some guy at a house 30 miles from here to buy a receiver cord. RIP Mr. krista.

Wait, what kind of special receiver cord do you need?

I'm a beacon of health today. My breakfast consisted of Rice Crispy Treats, leftover pizza from last night, and a Klondike Bar.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

So there's a running joke in my family about how my dad constantly offers me coffee even though I hate it and he knows that. Anyway my sister is back home visiting and we had this text exchange this morning:

Sis: Hey PJ, dad made a pot of coffee for you.

Me: Excellent. I hope he knows I like my coffee like I like my women...bitter and 500 miles away.

I thought that was a pretty good line.

Awwwww, you want affirmation!

Need.

Need affirmation.

[Uruk-Hai]

Sherlock is good?

I've only seen the 1st season (it's 3 eps, I think), but I really like it. Both Cumberbatch & Freeman are really good. Jeremy Brett is always going to be Sherlock to me, but the new version is well-done IMO.

 

[krista4]

I've relocated to Manchester, UK so I can start Pt 2 of Season 5! Since I have no Olympics, might as well get going on this.

Had Scrapple in Philadelphia a couple years back. Maybe the best thing I've ever had.

Tanner posting porn links last night isn't going to help this thread survive. If something needs NSFW tags, might not want to post.

Wait. What? I was a little drunk last night. What was it?

Your RoboCop video had some porn popups or something.

Jeez...I don't remember posting anything robocop related. Sorry anyway.

Truck> big game tomorrow night.

Yeah, not expecting much.

Love some individual cats on this team, overall I think they play like garbage. Lots of 1-on-1, and they pass as it were a last resort. And Giffey should play more.

And I'm still depressed about the Big East.

Meh, I'm over it.

Well yeah but Cincinnati is a conference USA team.
