GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

[Binky The Doormat]

Well, my back is officially OUT. Can't stand up straight, I am walking with the nimbleness of Tanner's great grandfather, and every time I cough it feels like a hundred angry midgets are stabbing me in the spine.

Gonna be an awesome week!

I've heard booze works for that ailment.

stryker- you catch that uecker special on mlb network? pretty awesome.

Any place else to see this? I love that guy.

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.

I checked the MLB site and it doesn't look like it's going to air again any time soon.

I mentioned it above but if you've got the time, this is worthwhile.

Thanks - I have seen that. I really wish there were more Carson appearances available on youtube. A lot of that stuff must be lost forever.

Pistachios are pretty good but if I need a snacking nut I'm going with sunflower seeds every time.

Or habanero bbq blue diamond almonds.

Huge fan of wasabi soy blue diamond almods.Tanner> HEB (local grocery store) brand. The founder's name was Howard E Butt and I laugh about it EVERY SINGLE TIME I go into the store (which I've done hundreds of times).

Ah, just wondering if they were grown here. Good chance they were.

Speaking of which, and by "speaking of which" I mean this has almost nothing to do with the post above, but your Bako boy and/or his wife blew us off. OK, it was 10 weeks after I met them that I finally got around to sending a message to BakoWife to say "let's get together", but despite their parting "OMG we have to get together!!1111oneoneone", I never heard back.

Though I suppose if the response time is 10 more weeks, they still have a little time.

Anyway, Seattle Freeze and all.

Furley was the original timschochet. One of the most prolific look at me posters the boards have ever seen.

GM would like a word

i remember some anger about my supplanting him back in '06

No, never really worried about that, just never liked you. Still don't. Dr. Detroit had your back and asked me nicely to give you a chance, so I did. But I don't like you at all, think you are a dooooosh of the highest order and wouldn't piss on you if your Packers' underwear were on fire. Go away. You suck.

Mixed feelings here. Liked that GM, the most awesomest!!! guy here (tied with Uruk), was protecting my honor and whatnot, but now see it's just furleyhate. Then again, the fact that he has furleyhate makes me understand what a huge doooooosh that guy is, which I hadn't realized before he decided to attack me due to his tinypenis.

Torn.

Serious question:

A grandparent using the word re tard ed around 4 yo grandkid to refer to something that malfunctions...not cool, right?

 

[mr roboto]

Oh snap.

So I had drinks at a bar that Kerouac frequented. I realize I know nothing about poetry, let alone beat poetry.

Here's another one: My kid mentions something about a story grandpa told her about "a shark blowing up." She then tells us there this guy and this other guy, and they need a bigger boat, and then they chase the shark around... (I turn to my wife at this point and say "He just told her the story of Jaws") ...and then the shark eats something and they blow it up.

I'm thinking about moving to Norway. Also, wacko landlord is holding firm on the DVR.

Cool place to drink even if you're not into the Beats or whatever. A buddy of mine lives about a mile away and seems to be there about once a week. Of course he is an actual poet. Like published and crap.*

*He just works crappy retail jobs at the age of 45 for fun.

I wonder how a bartender can afford to live around here though. I love this city but damn it's pricey.

I tried those wasabi almonds. Ok tasting, nothing mind blowing. But they gave me the trots something fierce. Nasty things imho

My side.

Threats loom on the other side as well though, my FIL dropped the big n word casually once at a family get-together, with the -er suffix. Just the other day he used the word "blackie", and said something to the effect of he was fine with black people as long as they weren't up partying to all hours of the night.

He's...old-fashioned.

My 4-year old loves Jaws and Jurassic Park. He also chooses nothing but dinosaur documentaries when he gets to netflix on the ipad (sorry gm) and those get pretty bloody with the reenactments and stuff. It all depends on the kid, imo.

To put it another way, if grandpa told the Jaws story to my 4-year old son he'd be enthralled and love it and then want me to retell it every night before bed. If he told it to my 6-year old daughter she'd have nightmares for weeks.

What's funny (to me and only me, I'm sure) is that I remember one--ONE--other time that you had a typo, and I called you out on it.

well, this came out of nowhere

i'm ok with not being in the favor of a 40something year old alcoholic that cheated on his wife with his own nanny. sometimes in life people don't mesh and that's ok. don't lose sleep over it. i'm sure when the nanny gets tired of you that krista will have a vacation home nearby you can stay at.

 

[mr. furley]

Seems harsh. I dunno.

defending krista is serious business.

he's still mad that i said his ex-wife looked like my brothers ex-girlfriend. guy really went off the rails when i said that. never recovered apparently.

i can still remember receiving threatening pm's telling me he was going to kick my ###, reading angry and threatening posts both here and later at :e:, etc. i was embarrassed for him then. even more so years later when i saw pictures of him carrying that football

I hate when making the crockpot juice when it goes back in.

Between this and YSR I am guessing there has been some really depraved activity going on around here. But I have no idea what it is.

Sounds like my in-laws. FIL once dropped the old-timey version of 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe' on the kids when they were younger. We all jumped in with "TIGER. IT's TIGER". Even MIL knew that was wrong. And she was once asked while checking out at a clothing store if anyone had helped her. "Yes, the uhhh darker gentleman."

Just a question left over from yesterday. Literally Italian beef with teh juice recipe results sans euphemism

Any advice for how to get affordable data plans for a week in Canada? I'm currently on sprint on a locked phone and the prices they quote me are insane. I'm even willing to "buy/rent" a hot spot for a week, but not sure how to get started on this.

TIA

stryker- you catch that uecker special on mlb network? pretty awesome.

I have it recorded but haven't watched it yet.

ETA: Oh ####, I'm not styker, sorry.

Watch it, GB. You'll love it.

I caught it when it aired a week or so ago. It was fantastic. They reference a Carson lecture he was a part of at the University of Nebraska. It's on youtube. If you have an hour and a half and are a fan of Uecker it's worth a watch.

I'm going to cry big man tears when that guy goes.

I definitely will watch it soon.

I don't listen to a lot of games on the radio anymore, but every chance I get I do as Ueck isn't going to last forever.

Pistachios and PBR = the post-workout recovery meal of champions.

For a second I thought this said pistachios and PR girl.

I would also be on board with this plan.

Speaking to a bunch of 3M employees tomorrow about the work the United Way does in the community and then driving to Arlington host a bunch of business partners in a suite night/boozefest. Nice little Monday planned.

My division just sent out an email looking for 2 UW leaders for us.

ETA, is this broadcast through all of 3M?

Just buy a Canadian sort of Tracphone with a replenishable data plan. Saw these when I was in Toronto last time at the airport. Sure they are pretty easy to find.

I'm pretty sure it's just for the divisional campaign leaders at the Austin campus. But, if you hear some hillbilly talking about how shot gunning beers at a tailgate makes a difference in the lives of underprivileged middle schoolers, that's me.
