GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Remember that one guy that got banned for fake cussing?

Truck, not sure on the avatar. I think thongs are a no-go in general, but not sure if that rule applies to animated Marge Simpson.

Would a cartoon **** fly? Probably not. Maybe I'm answering my own question here. But a thong is tamer than a ####, and a thong + cartoon seems like it flies above the line. But who am I to say what the line is, I mean really.

My thoughts on BDubs.

Wings are pretty hard to screw up, and their wings are fine in a pinch. But when I go into a local tavern and order some wings (and this has happened once or twice in my life) I can literally say with 100% certainty that they have NEVER been worse than BDubs. I've been to places that BAKE the wings and they're still better than BDubs.

If I were jonesing for some wingy, it would be the last place I'd go. Besides Hooters, of course.

yep

I think the quality of BW3 probably tanked a bit once they expanded everywhere. I'm sure some locations are decent though.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I probably should've gotten clipped several times and, if I had been more famous around this board, surely would have. I said some mean #### to people without being provoked to people who didn't deserve it. A few did IMO, but they are/were known #####.

One was someone well known who posts mostly in a thread that rhymes with "ACC Basketball" who has had about fifty different screen names banned and who wished another poster would've died in a hurricane that killed some folks in the SE.

This is the exact guy I got banned for.

I'm pretty sure the "die in a hurricane" post (while casualties/damages were still being tallied, IIRC) was the only I've ever reported.

I've banned that guy often.

I've actually defended him a few times when he (always) shows back up as "he paid his dues". No more, though (not that my opinion matters). And of course, like a bad penny.........

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I like how Ripleys always tries so hard to pretend it's not the same guy when he returns under a new username, even though every single poster in those ACC threads can probably spot him after a single post.

Ha! I just noticed a totally douchey post from him earlier today and thought "Who's this ####in' guy?"

 

[El Floppo]

for those of you that get time outs, what did you do? i don't even remember why i was once for a measly week. wtf do you do that gets your account whacked for a year?

some guy in his 20s was coming out of a marriage with his HS sweetheart and looking for advice about dating (only girl he ever dated).

I adviced to sleep around. A lot. Quoted Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine and got a week.

It's so easy to tell. Even before the Tyler Handsjob or UNC Cheating Hill stuff. He can help himself for maybe a week. God, the Duke fans roll their eyes when he returns, even if it's only because they know that some of the others are going to go off the rails and all civil discussions cease for forty pages.

 

[McGarnicle]

I'm coming to some sad realizations today. I'm 43 and happily married, and not only have I never been with a black chick, I've never done coke off a hooker's butt. I've also never been with an Asian for free, or even a Hispanic.

If there is a more vulture profession than tow truck driver, I don't know what it is.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I feel like they aren't as random or rampant now as they used to be, but perhaps that is because I don't venture out of this place too much.

However, in 2008, Sarah Palin was the cause for numerous GM bans. Also, don't make any jokes about the coming of the lord resembling snowfall.

1000% this

Yeah, times have changed a lot. My time out tracking calendar used to have like ten usernames on it that were on temporary suspensions. As of two weeks ago it has zero. There are a few usernames that were permanently banned back in the day, though.

I'm amused by the fact that you got banned as a result of the Bradyfan Dong song being forbidden, but there's currently a 3 page long thread with the word dong in the title.

I'm not complaining, mind you. Just amused.

 

[McGarnicle]

How about the pos who sits in the Starbucks lot waiting for people to park and walk to the bagel shop next door, boot their car and then charge them $80 to remove the boot, pointing to a tiny sign that says Starbucks parking only?

I've been a used car salesman and a lawyer. Even I think tow truck drivers are the lowest of the low.

Getting a chuckle out of Facebook today....my wife's cousin and her sister posted a selfie this morning. At the bottom of the picture, FB asks me, "Want to Tag Theresa Ca*****i G****"? Yes/No"

How did you answer, so I know if I should go looking for it?

internally and affirmatively. there's a small gentleman's crush going on with this one.

I just looked through all her pictures. don't tell her, she may get creeped out.

My wife has a couple of cousins who would probably do better in a "Who's Hottest" contest, but this one just has a gleam in her eye that I am down with. Also, she is always very nice to me.

She is nice! She accepted my friend request right away.

 

[kevzilla]

I got 90 days for a word I have seen multiple times since. BTW, this is the height of banning season.

 

[Osaurus]

I have never been banned and don't plan to be (aliases included). I can't take this place serious enough to let it get under my skin to necessitate a comment that is ban worthy. Maybe I have been close, but I don't think so.

I'm confused, but I think we all agree that everyone likes boudoir photography.

 

[Annyong]

I believe mine was for a bad choice of words in a Who's Hottest poll where I said "I like 'em little" instead of "I prefer my women petite, like my 25 year old gf that is also considered petite and is in no way considered a child or however you may negatively interpret that"

Henry Ford is no Joe T.

Thank god.

I try to not get the alias paranoia. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes there's just a feeling somebody is too well-acquainted with the boardfolk to be "new." I think IB and I have a shared feeling that HF falls into that latter category, right or wrong.

lol at Joe T, though.

It's ***la, IMO.

Ask Rude to post the warning logs. They are pretty detailed.

Is that Ned Ryerson guy serious in the "my kid was injured at camp" thread?

I think so. Reminds me of the kid that blasted herself in the face with the air horn a couple of years back and the poster wanting to sue the store. Any one remember who the poster was?

 

[shuke]

My cousins and I got together in Maine for Christmas one year and there was a Ground Round in the parking lot of our hotel. We walked over to the bar and imagine our delight when we arrived to find out they had $1 drafts!!

After ordering our second round, the bartender cuts us off... Says we are being too rowdy. My cousin and her husband decide to come to our rescue. They are both detectives with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, so they walk up to the bar, show their badges and try to talk the guy down off his ledge. No luck

So as we are leaving, my younger cousin rips one of the baseball bats they have mounted off the wall and takes it with him. We hit up a convenience store down the street that is about to close, grab a case of beer, throw it in a snow bank to stay cold along with the bat and head into the local pool hall to get drunk.

And...?

I have a feeling people think I'm not new because I've been here for three years.

 

[Mr.Pack]

doesn't Mrs Tanner run a BW3 now or something?

Better than hooters food anyway.

Yes and yes

Truth be told I've only been to there one time (before wife went there). I was also not impressed by the food. I had some sort of chicken sandwich. The wings were good but I'm not exactly a wing aficionado.

BW's food is terrible.

I was mocking his dislike of everything.

 

[shuke]

Wondering where BW2 ranks in the pantheon of chain restaurants for people now. Please compare to Applebee's, Olive Garden, Red Slobster, Chili's, etc. TIA

I wouldn't eat at either one of the above, and went to BWW for the first time during the WC this summer. It was a nice place, with plenty of TVs, they had cold beer, and service even when they were slammed was fast. The "food" was appalling, but I also didn't expect much.

So in conclusion, I would rank them above all the others based on number of TVs.

Okay, here goes.....

I really don't get all the hate for Buffalo Wild Wings.

I know it's super cool to be all 'this place sucks' and 'my gosh I'd never eat at a chain restaurant', etc.....so I'll keep it real.

You're eating chicken wings ffs. You know what butchers did with chicken wings 25-30 years ago? they threw those ####ers out. And then one day, a bar owner said you know what? I bet these drunk ####### idiots will pay me money for chicken scraps if I fry them up and put some sauce on them. And guess what? he was right.

20 years ago when I went to college (yeah, I'm old, I get it), the bars by my college had wing night. 10 ####### cents a wing or 3 dollars all you can eat. You know why? This is not ####### gourmet food here, it's a ####### fried chicken wing.

So now, flash forward to today and there are lots of wing joints - here in Houston I can rattle off 5-10 different places within 5 miles of my home, easy.

When you go to Buffalo Wild wings are you expecting ####### duck orange with maybe some fois gras, and a nice sourbet to clense the pallet between courses? No, you're ####### getting chicken wings.

As a family of 5 what BWW offers that most places cannot are dinners that each family member likes pretty much - when we're in the mood for wings or similar.

Their beer is cold, their wait staff is friendly, and now they have these super awesome game units so the kids can play games at the table while I'm watching a game or talking to my wife. And after all is said and done, my family has had a meal, I've had 2-3 adult beverages, everyone is satisfied, and the total bill comes out to less than 75-80 bucks on average. Win/Win.

The difference is BWW doesn't pretend like Red Lobster to be treating you to some succulent, fresh out of the Maine waters fresh lobster and then deliver a steaming pile of ####. They don't tease you with gourmet delicacies found in mama's kitchen from Northern Italy and then throw out some mass salad and breadsticks with crap pasta.

No, they have beer, fried chicken wings and a reasonable price and they deliver.

to BWW. There you go. Ostracize me if you will, I'm not well liked around most parts anyway.

I've always been a big fan. However, quality has gone way downhill the past 20 years.

Also, I can't believe how much I used to eat there. 24 hot wings and a basket of buffalo chips with cheese was normal

 

[Frostillicus]

Post my warning log Rude.

 

[Rustoleum]

It might be the beer and cigars talking, but I'm kinda disappointed that the camp director rolled over in that thread. Just asking for compensation in that situation boggles my mind. But hey, the Reds won.

I've gotten two I think. I called _4_ a dbag for one and for the other I commented that I would like to go on a Yayo/sex binge with one of the Olsen twins. I think they were even 18 by then so that one didn't make a lot of sense for me.

The worst one I got was a permaban from Shick with my MrPack name. He started an argument with me, I fought back and he permabanned me.

Not too long after that he quit, he was losing it and he knew it.
