GM's thread about nothing (24 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Speaking of crying, I lost it yesterday at the Mariners game when they reunited a soldier with his wife and young son before the first pitch. Showed it on the jumbo tron, the little boy weeping big sobs of joy, clinging to his dad's uniformed body. And I'm not ashamed of it in the least.

Mariners fans cry at their games all the time.

Yesterday's game was awesome! $21 ticket to get into the Left Field Bleachers, which meant we went straight to Edgars Bar Patio and had a grand time. We were immediately to the left of King Felix Court. THAT was cool. Dude 1 hit the Indians. Glorious day at Safeco.

Good for you cry baby.

It was a joke! If you would have kept reading.

I clicked on the last page of that thread, read one Scoobygang post about the ruling and realized immediately I didn't understand a word of what he was saying. I would make a horrendous lawyer.

you should go back in, just to read tim claiming that women can get vasectomies.

I have told this story many times here but maybe not to you:

Some years ago, the Astros AA team was here in Roiund Rock (its now the Rangers AAA). They had a good team that year with a number of players that would later make it to the big leagues (Chris Burke, Jason Lane, Luke Scott, others). They were playing the Rainiers on a Thursday night when beers were a dollar. Felix was the pitcher, only 19 years old and largely unfamiliar to people that weren't baseball die-hards or Mariners fans.

He. was. AMAAAAZZZZZIINNG. More than once me and the guys I was with were asking each other, "Who is this ####### guy?" I've seen a player that much better than the people sharing the field with him only once (Cedric Benson running for 300 yards and 6 touchdowns in the 5A state title game).

Been a fan of Felix ever since. Glad he has become such an awesome pitcher.

I took a video of the King's Court yesterday. It was quite a sight. I've never seen a fan base cheer on one pitcher like that before and I used to go to as many Nolan Ryan starts as I could when he was a Ranger. Every person sitting in the King's Court had on bright gold shirts and waved bright gold posters with K's on them. It was a scene, man. King Felix is absolutely a permanent fixture on the Seattle Mt. Rushmore of sports.

Are you joining us for dinner or continuing the not answer text shtick

Sorry - just got one that was an email via text or something. No, will not be able to make it this evening. I'm hoping to put together an ad-hoc drink after work with Shuke, etc. on Wednesday but don't know yet. Thnkk you for the invite.

Just found our 18 y.o. intern from Winnetka (upscale Chcago suburb) is a heroin addict. He's been stealing money from his host family - 3 occasions, about $200 total. They found a tourniquet and a couple empty small bags in their third floor attic.

I want to throw up.

Spoiler

I have to call his mom in a few minutes. She used to be the SEC Director in Chicago, got recruited to be a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius last year. JFC I am dreading this.

Spoiler

####. GLGB. :(

After a couple minutes of crying, the mom was pretty clinical about it. This actually came as no surprise to her. He's been in rehab before and relapsed.

I was shocked. He's like a skinny nerd who plays in marching band and gets straight As without even trying. F'n suburban white kids.

Biggest disappointment from Saturday: GM was not actually pale.

I cried yesterday to something a lot less moving than that.

I cried reading a post on NW Hikers forum about someone's dog dying.

And roboto, sorry for your loss. :(

Pretty sure all dogs go to heaven.

I don't know about this bat #### crazy Pomeranian that I'm watching for my neighbor. Dog is weird and just may be the antichrist. Very happy that get home today

Well that sucked. My 6 year old took it pretty hard. Lots of tears. She's grown up with Kona (the yellow lab) since she was a baby. She used to cuddle with the dog on the floor and put bows on her ears and play dolls with her. The 4 year old was sad but is a bit too young to fully understand.

The vet told my girls that Kona would be running in heaven. Afterward we told them that dogs don't have an afterlife. I really wish the vet wouldn't have said that. We are pretty honest about life and death with the kids because they've experienced 3 of their great grandparents dying in the last couple of years.

Would be interested in hearing about what this honesty involves when you're in a less fragile state.

Thoprawishes on the loss of Kona.

Thops to all.

Gonna go to walmart and get a little something for the SLB boys and get this crap on it's it's way to SLB.

At what time should I start drinking tomorrow? I go to the airport at 8am. There must be some pace to the day because lady raiders doesn't like to lose or some such loco ness and will try to match me drink for drink. This never ends well and I want her functional or at least participating, heyooo!, in the sexy time late in the day/evening. I'm going to hold out until the soccer game. Maybe.

Can't wait for the trip!

Another mitigating factor, is I will be on all sorts of public transport. Planes buses trains boats. This led to more drinking last time.

Do/did you say the same thing about the grandparents?

Do you know that they (dogs or grandparents) do or don't? Why not explain the many different beliefs and let them choose?

e.g. "Many people believe that there is another place where people (and maybe dogs) go after we die. Many believe that life here on earth is all there is. Sometimes people tell us that (dogs/grandparents) have gone to a better place because they think it will ease the pain of their passing. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide what you believe."

And roboto, sorry for your loss. :(

I've been spending a lot of time in the sun, so though I assure you I am naturally quite pale, I've been sporting my summer glow since early June. The visor, well....I really have no excuse or explanation. It irritates Petty and my other old friends, so for reasons I can't quite fathom, I enjoy the reaction.

Thought of you yesterday at breakfast. Went to some place in Rovena (sp?) and it was clear that the wait staff was pro-Mexican soccer, adorned with Mexican jerseys and owning more pigment that the two of us combined on our best summer day. Since their team had just lost in crushing fashion a few moments earlier, I excused and understood their rather curt and robotic service.

However, when I went to order, I discovered that the breakfast item I wanted the most was not available any longer. Dead set on a sausage, egg, cheese croissant, I talked my way into a similar sandwich on a muffin. As I ordered the eggs sunny side up, I was most looking forward to soaking up the yolk with a delicious side of hashbrowns, which was the side of choice for the croissant I wanted. What did I get as a side? A bowl of hapless looking cantaloupe and it's ugly cousin Honeydew.

So I just ordered a side of hashbrowns and averted crisis, but stared menacingly at the unwanted melon. And though I like cantaloupe fine, I just wasn't in the mood. Least favorite meal of the trip.

Mariners fans cry at their games all the time.

Yesterday's game was awesome! $21 ticket to get into the Left Field Bleachers, which meant we went straight to Edgars Bar Patio and had a grand time. We were immediately to the left of King Felix Court. THAT was cool. Dude 1 hit the Indians. Glorious day at Safeco.

When I learned the Mariners were held to one hit, I was guessing it was Cleveland's ace or perhaps the young phenom. When it was revealed that the pitcher who nearly blanked the M's was Josh Freaking Tomlin I just had to laugh.

And if you see Nick Swisher, can you punch him in his goofy face for me? .195 does the opposite of wonders for my fantasy team.

Upper thigh. And the number you get varies by weight. I needed 4. YMMV.

There is no way there are two people in this thread who have never had a BLT. One of you is lying, and I'm going to keep killing until I find out who.

Put me on the list, too. I don't like tomatoes.

I didn't like them as a kid but I like them now - but still loved tomato sauce. It was the texture and appearance. George Carlin used to say they didn't look "finished."

Just watched the VICE on HBO last night about this drug that supposedly helps with heroin addicts. Pretty crazy episode, but I think I'd recommend trying it for someone that can't kick. Anyone catch that one? They do a bunch of African rain-dancey mumbo jumbo but then give this drug called ibogaine which supposedly eliminates addiction to opioids.
