GM's thread about nothing (18 Viewers)

[krista4]

Mike was my favorite BB character.

He's literally the best. No doubt about it. I enjoy Hank's escapades too though.

I loved that Hank became such a well-developed, multi-layered character and not just a meathead. Really enjoyed watching him, too.

Saul is the best though so I guess Mike wasn't literally #1

Saul was my second favorite. Close second to Mike.

Mike was the coolest.

Jessie was the most love/hate.

Walt was the deepest and most complex.

Saul was (much needed) comic relief.

Skylar was probably the most underappreciated character - Anna Gunn did a great job with that very confused and then conflicted character.

I dislike Hooters because:

• The food is terrible. Even the wings.
• Those pantyhose are terrible. All I can think of is how sweaty (and not in a good way) those broads must be under there. Like one of those cultures you breed bacteria in in Biology.
• My proto-hipster reactionary drive kicks in when dudes gush over the place. Go get a decent meal somewhere and then go to a strip club and/or go home and porn it up.

I really wish you hadn't said that.

Of course the last time I was in a strip club I spent most of the time "chatting up" the fully clothed waitress.

I knew I liked you for a reasonThat's my go-to move in a strip club. My buddies pour all their money into lap dances and crap.

I flirt with the drink girl, usually get a free drink or two, watch the stage show for free and occasionally still walk out with a number

My greatest strip club weekend ever involved chatting up the waitress, getting her into the champagne room at the end of the night and having her come over the next night to deal poker topless after our fantasy football draft. Around 3 a.m. on the second night she mentioned that she was in the honor guard in the army. I grabbed a rifle and she did the whole rifle presentation bit in thigh highs, a short skirt and bikini top. Good times.

So she dealt topless but then stopped to put on a bikini top before flipping a rifle around?

Technically she only dealt part of the game topless. I believe it was shirt over bikini, bikini, topless, bikini.

What color bikini? This is important.

At first or later?

Tell the truth, you didn't like Breaking Bad, did you?

I liked it a lot.

I'm sensing trepidation in your response...

Because in Texas you just have rifles lying around in the event of such an emergency.

Agree re Skylar. Beautifully drawn character and amazing performance, even if you hated her.

I don't get BBC-America anymore. Anybody got a link to watch Sherlock season 3?

It was on PBS under "masterpiece mystery" in the USA.

I searched for it and didn't find it. Oh well.

I beat a hobo in a foot race in downtown Chicago like 10 years ago. He was a black guy, so I'm pretty sure I'm the fastest person in this thread.

Agreed.

Thorn> I own two rifles and two shotguns and I've never even bought a gun. My neighbors taunt the weakness of my home arsenal.

We need context. It's not a fair race if he's chasing you already exhausted from that bum fight you staged for video publication before stiffing him on his pint of vodka.

 

[Rustoleum]

I just came across this randomly - kinda cool

I believe that's the site my office uses to find vessels and seize them. It's awesome.

Are you a pirate?

 

[Frostillicus]

I took my daughter to a birthday party on Nesbitt avenue today. Then, just now, my wife said, "Let's see what's on facebook" when she meant netflix. I'm a having super GM-y day. Might put on a visor.

 

[bentley]

So, K4, did you end up liking everybody other than Walt?

I was w/ a group of maybe 4 couples. We were waiting to cross a street later in the night and all pretty much drunk. This hobo comes up and starts singing love songs to the ladies. The girls were all uncomfortable so I told this bozo that if he could beat me in a race to the dumpster then I would give him $20. If he lost, he had to leave us alone. He agreed, we raced, he tripped and fell about half way, he yelled "The British are coming!", I gave him $10 and we went on our way.

Yeah, he's even got his own rum brand and everything.

No. I liked Mike, Saul and Skinny Pete/Badger; all others I'd say I had mixed feelings about. Liking the way a character is drawn doesn't mean I actually liked the character.

Oh, I liked Holly, too.

 

[Thorn]

Like you and me or people in general?

My apartment can sleep a fair number of people - I can easily handle 5 other people/couples without having to get kinky

In general I guess. Didn't know you were running Albert Oaks Cincinnati. Good to know. I'd love to see the Derby and a TRE race in the parking lot.

It was life-changing.

It's delicious. Plus he either has a giant bush or he doesnt! I like both!

When you have his rum as hair of the dog, you've already flossed!

Strongly agree with points #1 and #3. Had never thought about point #2.

Agree on all but the wings. Gotta get them naked and fried hard - floaters. Sauce on the side if they just insist on drenching them and taking the crispy out of them.

They overload the coating and they do suck with it.

Take Gus, for instance...fantastic character, but that doesn't make him likable.

Holly was an overacting little #####. She ruined every scene she was in. She was like Sophia Coppola on hemorrhoids.

Yeah it was pretty awesome. We were running and I immediately was out in front. All of a sudden I see his shoes go flying past me and he falls to the ground. Part of me wants to think he was a genius and he knew that falling and saying something ridiculous would be the only way he gets anything out of the deal.

Two years ago my buddy and I went to penthouse and had a hell of a time. Ended up giving two cocktail waitresses a bunch of loot to put down the trays and take us to the VIP room. Paid each of them $100 for three songs and another $100 to the manager since they weren't supposed to be "dancers". Great time. Then I ran in to one of them three times in the next week including twice with my wife (grocery store, Fourth of July parade).

Yes, it is a tense and awkward experience.

Of course. It's like those weak-assed animals in nature that specialize in looking harmless so that they can bang the alpha females when the alpha males aren't looking.

Amazing character. Esposito(sp?) owned it and nailed it.

In all honesty I can't think of a character from BB that was "bad". But I do have to say that I really didn't like the whole Jane's dad story line. One of the only real forced things about the show.

Be honest - what was their body language appraisal of your wife?

[Otis]

Question: wife has been home with our 2.5 year old as a stay at home mom through this brutal winter, essentially house bound and losing her mind; due to weather and the like,I really wasn't able to do anything for Valentine's and didn't get get her anything (she's pretty cool and claims its just a stupid holiday for women to post to Facebook the lame crap their husbands get them, but still); her 30th birthday is in about two weeks; oh and, minor detail, she is due with our second in 2 days -- wtf do I get her, and how the hell can I possibly do enough?

I locked up her local favorite restaurant for a brunch for 30 or 40 of our closest friend and will foot the tab (its an amazing place and includes all you can drink bloody marys and mimosas), to happen a few weeks after the baby arrives, but I really need to go big here with a present I think.

TIA

Lydia was a bad character for me. Truly painful for me to watch.

Three weeks ago: A morning where you stay home with your family followed by an afternoon where you watch the kid and send her for a massage.

Now? Not sure.
