GM's thread about nothing (47 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

I mentioned how about 14 years ago I guess it has been now, one of my neighbors, a fire fighter, had a congenital heart problem and died at the age of 24. (I've had a streak going for a long time) Of course it was terribly sad since they had only been married a couple of years had a 1.5 yo son and she was pregnant with their second. After a year or so of deep depression she banged around for awhile before meeting a nice guy (I hear) remarrying and had another kid with him. Well yesterday on FB she posted a pic of her oldest son, now 15-16, with a big smile on his face wearing a shirt that reads "I didn't choose to be gay. I got lucky". I've always been in the camp that the VAST majority of gay people were born that way and even if you choose it, WTF do I care. I can't help but wonder though if him losing his Dad shaped his sexuality this way. Plus even flaunting sexuality at that age seems odd to me.

You want me to ask Kellen?

I flaunted my sexuality heavily at 15-16.

And fresh horseradish is awesome. Everybody run out and buy some tonight imo.

Great on waffles.

I'm actually not a big fan of the whole waffle-pancake-french toast grouping myself. I'll eat them if I have to, and I've even had a few here and there that I enjoyed. I prefer other breakfast foods, though.

Yeah, that's my take on it all. My body craves eggs, breakfast meats and hashbrowns. Maybe some toast. And while I don't hate pancakes or waffles or French Toast, I just don't crave them anymore. And since I know you can't eat the All American breakfast every day, I limit that sort of treat to once or twice a month at most. My work day breakfasts are boring. Apples, lowfat yogurt, berries, oatmeal. I have to force myself to eat it, but I'd like to make it past 50.

Crispy corned beef hash and bacon imo

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Shuke's facial expressions in photos will always and forever make me laugh uncontrollably. Latest FB offerings...

Hey, look at me! I'm FB friends with shuke.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Might be shifting to cocktails in my 40s.

Yes, it's horribly done, but the thought amused me greatly.

I don't think "flaunted" means what you think it means.

 

[Frostillicus]

I need an IP lawyer. I think my semiconductor company has stumbled on to something valuable.

My brother is an ip lawyer.

Care to pm his contact info so I can talk to him next week?

Will do.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Yep. Light turns on pretty sure the shirt he's wearing is different.

Kellen is out fishing today with my FIL, BIL and crazy Uncle Eddie, who sounds like Joe Pesci and has similar mannerisms. Eddie's got a boat, so he took them to Lake St. Claire to catch some perch. Heterosexuality imminent.

Pretty jaunty tilt of the cap there..........

 

[belljr]

That fire cracker video still has me laughing

 

[belljr]

its still funny

Top 7 shrink wrapped fruits?

top 7 netted-bunched fruits?

I was going to make a Jm J Bullock joke, but that is way better.

I feel obligated to mention, however, that pic in that link looks like it's the beginning of the world's worst Hot Carl(or most confining Dutch Oven)

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Well, SF was awesome. Coulda made a few nights of it, but we had a great time. Highly recommend staying in Sausalito. Absolutely gorgeous and the ferry ride across the bay affords awe inspiring views. It was really nice to just be with lady raiders sans raiderette. Gmtaners married with kids, we need to do this more often!

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

You know what they say. There's no such thing as a bad Hot Carl.

BOC is out for delivery but I think bob is gone for the weekend.

How dare you

 

[5-ish Finkle]

How dare you

Every. Single. Time I see your avatar I hear "Heey, Mr. Rush!!" on a loop in my head for at least a couple of seconds.

Actually actually true story: My wife wants a second dog. If she decides on a boy, she plans to name it "Monroe"(I named the first one, so I really can't fight her on it...much). Most of her friends think it's because she likes the TV show Grimm. I know it's because she liked the TV show Too Close For Comfort more than is probably healthy.

I must admit though, the idea of shouting "Monroooooe!" at him when he misbehaves in my Ted Baxter voice is marginally titillating. She'll never get sick of that in, like, three nanoseconds or anything.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I had a cake last night made entirely out of crepes.

Not sure where that falls on the flapjack/waffle/french toast spectrum

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Wouldn't that just make it...a giant crepe?

Where did it make the jump to cake? Candles on it?

Or was it the "it's a stack of crepes until you layer it between icing" that transmogrifies it? Like a pile of noodles vs. a lasagna, etc.

Yeah, upon further examination, it isn't exactly the staunchest picture of brute manliness.

Then again, I'm not exactly photogenic myself.

Update:

At our local rodeo a few weeks back, a cow freaked out and broke his neck after jumping over a gate. Cool sport.

I don't think "flaunted" means what you think it means.

I used to wear tshirts I thought made me look cool that advertised how much I wanted to have sex with women. What do you think it means?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Corn isn't sweet enough to begin with? Why not put a fun dip dry rub on it as well?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Today is not baby day. :thankthemaker:

Still on for 7/16 as of now.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I wanted to say how good it was meeting Shuke, Bentley and Kev at Cos's house earlier this week. I got pretty drunk after you all left so I don't remember a whole lot - but I enjoyed it - good people. Also a big thanks to Cos and his wife for hosting my son and I for the EEG treatments. They are great people and they made it very comfortable for us.

Thanks again Cos!

Totally baiting Homer here,

 

[El Floppo]

Great lightning show here in NYC. Mrs. O out at a dinner with her local mom friends. Girls at asleep. Otis taking off tomorrow for MY BIRTHDAY to extend the 4th weekend. Drinking some wine, saying "Ef it" to work. On the 4th the Mrs. and I drive up to Mohegan Sun for some degenerate eating ,drinking, and gambling without the kids. First night of peace in ages.

And god bless the GMTAN. Hope you're all doing well. Life can be really ####ty and hard sometimes -- I had a recent bout that I can't talk about -- and so we have to really just soak in the good while we have it.

You're an awesome bunch. Hi m'r f'n five.

Have fun! And i hope you've set a limit for losses at the casino... last time I went, I hit my limit early the firsr day and sat and watched my gbs shoot craps.

So when I leave the city, is there a radius or statute of limitations for saying things like greetings from NYC?

More like "Totally 'bating Homer" amirite?

 

[Josie Maran]

Nice try, jerkass.

 

[Osaurus]

This Masters of teh Sechs show isn't half bad.

 

[Celph Titled]

This Masters of teh Sechs show isn't half bad.

I'll say.

 

[bostonfred]

Im totally home, 'urbating.

 

[Otis]

I'm guessing a lot of you don't like the Dead, but I could listen to this song for hours on end.

Me too.

And by "hours on end" I mean "4 seconds".

You don't like something? No ####ing way.

Not even close to the same thing. The Dead are horrible. Just horrible.

This isn't like me saying "I'm not a big fan of 'The Big Lebowski'." This is like me saying "I don't like sticking lawn darts up my pee-hole."

I get that people don't like them. A lot of their stuff bores me to tears any more. But this is a great piece of music.

Just stop.

You stop.

Burrrrrn

 

[Guster]

Slap fight?

GAMH is a pretty sweet venue. A drunk stripper flashed her snatch to me there unprompted one time. (actually true)

By that criteria, a Denny's at 5am is also a pretty sweet venue. (Also actually true)

You guys must be a real hoot at parties..

 

[Captain Quinoa]

Good news. I've decided to stop hating myself. A little scared but feels good so far.
