GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

[Gadzooks]

I read/started a book about the power grid being shut down by terrorist attack via interwebz. It was a horrible book, but interesting idea. Did not finish.

Did not finish... the book?

 

[Gadzooks]

Zooks > You doing anything for Estelle Getty's birthday?

Probably put the Golden Girls theme song on repeat all day and masturbate wish that Estelle, Bea and Rue were still alive. Typical Friday for me.

 

[Gadzooks]

Match Game:

K4 buys more houses than _Gadzooks_ buys _Valtrex_.

Clearly she has a problem.

 

[Drifter]

We're going to see a house for sale on Saturday.

FISH DO NOT CLICK

In Port Townsend.

Much closer to me when you finally start making naanThoughts on Poulsbo and Bremerton?

Bremerton? If you like living with loggers and shipyard workers, I guess.

 

[Captain Quinoa]

I wonder how many pilots in 30-40 years (Hell, NOW) could figure out how to manually track a course if we are so dependent on the internet.

I believe this is actually required. They still have books, charts, etc in the cockpit.

snicker

Late to the party, but Sir Mix A Lot does a righteous rap song about girls from the Bremerton area, referring to them lovingly as "Bremaloes". As in "That girl is a Bremalo". Considering his penchant for junk in the trunk (as evidenced by his seminal song "Baby has Back"), if he's calling out women for resembling bison, I'm guessing they must really miss the mark.

Hold the phone here, fella....I have three kids to feed. It ain't all about me, despite my cravings and yearnings for the delicious little black treats.

Sometimes I post stuff in here because I'm adverse to starting a completely new thread.....

with that being said, I was thinking last night and, is there a way for a country, government entity, single person, to turn off the internet? I mean, like a light switch and poof it's off for everyone? And if someone, something has that power, would that pretty much throw the entire earth into chaos just about instantly?

yes to country, government entity, doubtful on person... it's not quite a light switch, but it may seem that way for many...

I don't know about chaos, but it would cause issues for sure, just imagine how much less time people would spend in the bathroom. Productivity would spike in every company.

Probably causes a market crash and unrest at the very least. Assuming it's out for a good period of time. Power outage too?

People can trade when the internet is down? :gasp:

BREAK OUT THE CHALK BOARDS AND TICKER TAPE MACHINES!

I'm considering becoming a hat person. What kind of hat would make me look appropriately interesting but also be appropriate for an officer of the court? I'm thinking something like this.

Nope. No facial hair at all.

Pro tip - gingers with mustaches look weird. However, I'm going gray enough that it could work.

I thought of that one, but everyone would think it was shtick. With the bowler there would be an uncertainty of, "Is he serious..?....surely he's not serious.....is he...? .....maybe he is....hmph"

Shut it down

Good point, let's go back to listing top 10 favorite cheese-like processed products.

Some pretty embarrassing lists so far.

Haaaaaaaarrrible lists. Any list with processed cheeses :X .

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

tough to take anyone seriously who puts Pepper Jack on their list of 10 worst cheeses.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

why is everyone afraid of k4? anyone else in this thread moves 6 times in this short a span and it's 2 pages of questioning whether the guy's wife is cheating on him with a fella that has ball cancer and 15 fingers

oh man now you did it

Did what? Made yet another pitiful attempt at putting me down? SHOCKING.

Is this Furley vs K4 beef real?

we drink more than some countries.

k4> I thought I replied, but can't find it. Drifter's right about Bremerton. It's a pit. You might like Bainbridge Island. Poulsbo seems like it would get old fast. It's a gimmick town.

You still need to check out my area. Take the ferry so you don't have to go through Tacoma.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

In no particular order

Good cheeses

Sharp cheddar

Brie

Anything from the Basque Country, especially sheeps milk cheeses

Goat

All hard cheeses from Italy

Pepper jack

Burratta

Muenster

Boursin

Blue

I celebrate pretty much the entire cheese catalog

Bad cheeses

All processed cheese, except nachos very occasionally.

Unbelievably stinky a la Limburger

The one with maggots in it. I've never had it, but I'm putting it here on principle.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I think we should all move once a year. Would give us a lot more to talk about in here besides cheese and pancakes.

Here's my latest house update. Sellers had 3 offers at full price. They picked us. This week the appraisal came in 30k low. We offered 25k less than original offer and they took it. Good for me, I think. Need a real estate mogul to weigh in.

Thanks for the input here, gang.I guess I should have asked everyone to list their 10 favorite/least favorite cheeses in order.

Ooooo, gonna need a minute on that. Piave is on the best list for sure.

Don't really know what kind of input you were looking for up there, though. You had already made your move and it was accepted. What do you need?

Whether it seems to you like we got a good deal paying less than asking since there were other bidders at full price or whether we are complete morons for paying more than the house appraised at.

Despite the general impression that I crave attention and positive reinforcement, I really like critical feedback.

I love you JB. I don't know #### about housing or money or anything really. Except cheese. That's all we do here. I don't have a foam hat, because #### that. Real cheeseheads use real cheese. And a block of cheese that size is pretty expensive. And it's baseball season so a block of cheddar (with swiss holes) on your head in the heat probably isn't a good idea. Well maybe it's not so bad because it'll turn hard and be like a helmet. It'd still be kinda warm though. And stinky. On second thought if I'm wearing cheese on my head, I'm probably not very smart. Chicken or the egg #### right there.

At any rate, it's $5k. Maybe the owners just like you guys. Didn't you offer a discount on your house to someone you know? You're comfortable with that. Maybe these people are more comfortable with you

HFS.

I was just going to post this exact same thing!

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I went out for lunch yesterday to a breakfast place. Got chicken and waffles. The waffle had bacon in it, and the fried chicken came with a side of meat gravy.

Maybe if there were pieces of bacon in pancakes and he was able to pour gravy on it instead of maple syrup, GM would get on board?

Any mortgage people in here?

What are the odds that someone with a horrible credit rating but with decent equity >$40k in their house, could get a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit?

 

[YSR]

I cooked a steak for Romo last Monday night when he got home and apparently misjudged the clearance that my belly now requires, as I turned and burned my stomach on the handle of the screaming hot cast iron skillet I had on the stove.

I've been to the doctor twice since then and have had to tell countless people in the doctor's office what happened because frankly, it looks like Romo has been putting out cigars on my stomach.

 

[YSR]

Also, since we all did such a bang-up job naming Leeroy's kid, can y'all name mine? We're at a complete loss. Last name is Owen so I think a one-syllable name would work best (or maybe a three-syllable?).
