GM's thread about nothing (67 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

Tomorrow and Friday we're having the accent wall in the master bath and WC painted plus the extra room and bath painted. I suggested to Mrs. SLB that she go downstairs to see what paint we had left from phase 2 of the job since there was plenty of it. She objected to this and started going through the paint swatch cards. She selected three colors for the four different area. Two of the "new" colors she choose are what we used in other areas already and we have almost a gallon of each.

 

[Osaurus]

Looks like I am not going to San Diego and could make Beerhole provided I can find cheap airfare Fri-Sun. Any suggestions?

check here?

Thanks...those are pricier than others I have seen already...we'll see what happens

It's nice to know that she's genetically a woman.

She picked out two very different colors for the bed and bath upstairs and asked if I liked them. I reply, "yes, those colors will look good together and will flow with the rest of the house, go with that". Her response, "No, I don't know now....." So in lieu of punching her upside the head I told her I didn't give a #### what colors she picked.

Put a price tag on the old cans, walk out the garage, carry them in through the front door and proudly give her the new cans of paint.

You need to get a first and middle name that's tied into the GMTAN. Something like Bobby Tanner or Colin Damon or Aaron Rudnicki.

Oh I'm not doing any painting and I'm certainly not mentioning this.

I just thought the colors would accent her new(ish) jewelry.

Cos,

If you like sand rails, big pick ups with Calvin peeing on things, tattooed dudes, then pismo beach is for you

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bob, get me your phone # so we can meet up on Friday. If you guys arrive in Chicago on time, let me know if you want to get some food before the train leaves for Milwaukee. Or I can grab some sandwiches or something to eat on the train too.

 

[cosjobs]

Pismo Beach is pretty much "Bakersfield West". What do you want to know?

That's not a really selling point I'm afraid.

But I hate beaches thick with posers and so crowed you can't walk around without kicking over someone's ice chest. I also like piers. I was thinking Santa Monica, but with Venice Beach and the proximity to LA, I'm afraid I would not like it sop much, so was trying to find somewhere I could get an affordable room (150 or less?) with a balcony view of the ocean and some decent bars in walking distance. Looks like pismo is more in the 225 range for the most part.

I expect a white trash contingent at any beach, but as long as the meth is kept to a minimum and no one steals my beer when I go for a swim, I'm cool.

Manhattan Beach?

Have you stayed there?

I think I've figured out a way to keep Albert Oaks. I could carve out three or four vacant lots from the property and sell them. Realtor tells me they'd be worth 250K each. If I could raise 500K I could last here indefinitely and keep my folks in place as long as they stay alive. Anyone want a lot in Austin? I'd give GMTANNERs a big discount and provide a couple weeks a year free lodging at the Oaks until you could build your own pad.How cool would it be for us to have our own neighborhood?

What could I get for $5,000? I don't need much. Broom closet? Chicken coop? Heard it's vacant.

You could crash on the stoner poodles' couch.

We could probably figure an "Option" in that price range. 1% there!!1111

[cosjobs]

Maybe I should just drive over to vegas. Looks like rooms are dirt cheap for the two nights i want- $22 for Sam's and 95 for Aria. I'd have hundreds of dollars to gamble with from the money I saved on a room.

Havent been to Vegas in a while. What are best hotels nowadays?

How far from the valley? 4.5 hours or so? What about coming back to LAX Thursday around 6:30- pretty sucky traffic then I bet.

Now she likes Liam or Max (not maxwell or Maximus just plain max)

Liam, with your super-Eyetalian last name?

Chimichurri talk a couple of pages ago inspired me. Fresh batch coming this weekend barring Beerhole attendance.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Can I put Frosty's chimichurri on Shuke's steak sandwich? Will it taste like GMTAN?

It's actually Osaurus's chimchurri recipe. So he's the ####### for posting something as straight forward as a bloody mary recipe.

Still holding out for an epic nacho recipe.

Made them for 3 other families/kids on vacation. Everyone raved and asked for the recipe.

Dang, I'm slow lately.

Mrs SLB is getting new cans?

She has mentioned that she would like a lift or something.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Guster exceeds everything I envisioned prior to meeting him. From the Cincinnati guidebook he wrote for us, to surreptitiously picking up lunch for me, Mrs Ignoramus AND my brother, to showing us around his playhouse... err... office.

Awesome, awesome guy.

see you in less than an hour for more

get a room

 

[Bob Sacamano]

How long would I have to hold them?

As long as you like. Just don't destroy them like that jerkoff Dylan did. Formula was good enough for Cal. What a ####.

You have anything againsy Honeycrisp apples, GM?

Too expensive, but very tasty. More of a Pink Lady guy myself.

Absent Honeycrisps, I bought some of these the other night.

They're also apparently called "Crips Pink Apples."

I got home and threw them in the crisper with some Blood Oranges.

When I came down the next morning, it was like a giant fruit salad in there. oursa40:

Can't you just put the existing paint in your car and tell her you just bought it? I mean, it worked for the jewelery.

I didn't see the background to this but I agree with you.

We now have two offers on our house, both above the asking price. One is an investor. The other is a family that we kinda sorta know second hand. Investor has offered $2500 more but I'm pretty sure that we are selling to the family. Such sentimental suckers.

I have a good friend that live in Manhattan Beach that works for Adam Carolla. I'll tell him you are coming.

Anyone have food recs for Denver? Nothing fancy, just good food. Burgers, Mexican, Chinese, Pizza, Prime Rib, etc. I'll PM Drifter when I am not on my phone.

Might just send Romo over to have dinner at the Swires'.

Liked Prohibition on Colfax when I was out there a few weeks ago. Also went to Thirsty Lion (small regional chain) in LoDo near Union Station and the Oxford Hotel.

It was a Phil from the Future joke.

(Unless they're both offering cash, I'd probably go with the investor not because of more money but because of more certainty of closing.)

Could easily argue the other way. The family is probably much more emotionally invested in the home. If there is an issue and Bentley doesn't want to fix it, they probably will just do it themselves since they really love the home. An investor may just say #### it and move to the next property.

This is exactly what our realtor told us. Better chance of the family closing.
