GM's thread about nothing (8 Viewers)

[Mr. Pickles]

We have an Odyssey. Our kid named it Magnus.

Does it also favor queen pawn openings?

 

[Tiger Fan]

TRE: Put together my redneck A/C today. It works just like it is supposed to but the cheapo fan I bought at WalMart is pretty weak. I think if I used it in conjunction with another fan to help move the cool air it would be better.

did you use the plastic bucket, or just go with the styrofoam?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Oh and I love the top review for the FBG drafting app at the iTunes store.

I'm also hammered again.

I don't know how you philanthropic hillbillies do it.

Well played

 

[Annyong]

My A/C went out. Instead of calling a repair guy, I googleized it and replaced the run capacitor for $30. Works like a charm. I'm almost a man now.

 

[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?

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.

I got a timeout for using the phrase "phone sex" (actually actually true) and also one for suggesting that someone should sleep with his wife/girlfriend's sister.

Yeah- this is my takeaway from all this....

sex is filthy, terrible, shameful business and shouldn't be discussed. in public. with people. in writing.

name-calling, bullying, thuggish, myopic, inconsiderate, thoughtlessness is A-OK.

 

[El Floppo]

In one week I return home from Japan.

In two weeks I move my wife and two daughters out of our house and into my parents' house. My wife and I will sleep in the same room that was mine while I was in high school.

Two days later, I will leave them all for Korea.

A week after that I will return home to said parents' house.

About a week later we close on our new house.

About two or three weeks after that, hopefully, the painters and floor guys will be done, and we will get the pleasure of moving again, this time out of my parents' house and into our new house.

I wish I had a fast forward button.

it'll go really, really, really slow. really slow.

but then you won't even remember this ####ty summer, because you'll be in your new kick-### house. :lookatyou:

What did this thing cost last year? I actually used it for my draft because I'm too lazy to bring a laptop and way too lazy to print out cheat sheets.

Damn Abe, DrJ does not like you much.

I just really don't appreciate him being a #### lately - there and other places - considering that I thought we were alright at one point. I kind of expect that sort of crap from the rest of you.

Lately? Pretty sure he's always been a ####.

While we're airing grievances, I'm not sure I have any idea who DrJ is; my first encounter with him in which I notice him is in the last couple of days, where he's spewing vitriol at people in the pot smoking thread for saying they don't smoke pot because they are afraid of the consequences in their jobs. He thinks we are a bunch of sissies for that. Ok I guess, but I think he posted like 73 posts in a row with that view and had to stoop to the name calling stuff. Just was weird. I figured he was a new poster but apparently not.

Every now and then some poster who I never really noticed comes out of nowhere with a shtick that makes me do a double take.

The furley vs. krista bit is weird.

I'm in Japan.

That is all.

I gave you excellent diet advice (okay, that's debatable), I told you to buy an Odyssey. It's not my fault that you choose the dumbest crap ever to register on your radar.

Big Odyssey fan. Mrs. O still won't allow it; she's not prepared for minivan status. We're splitting the difference and going with a Pilot, which prices out about the same. And buy the time we get one I think it will have all the latest gadgets.

We were looking at Pilots and Highlanders and ended up going with an Explorer (thanks in part to a very nice and thorough PM from Bob Sacamano). It's got the roominess of the Pilot but we thought it drove much better.

interesting. Can you fit 3 car seats across the 2nd row?

I went with the $2.75 foam cooler, $9 fan from WalMart, and $3 worth of PVC. The concept really does work...it does throw out some pretty cold air. But the fan just doesn't blow it out far enough.

I need a partner. Must be willing to make most of the decisions and then be able to handle constantly being berated for any decision that doesn't go well.

Sounds like you need a husband

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The Purge is an awful movie. Can't wait to not see the 2nd one.

What's funny is that the concept is actually pretty interesting (no laws for so many hours or whatever). Genius move then making the movie about one house/one family.

 

[YSR]

I would be willing to partner up and pay the entry fee for a team but I know nothing about FF anymore and would essentially be dead weight. I will, however, be up all hours of the night (even more so) starting in about a week so if there are ever any WW gems that come available at 3:00 a.m., I'm your huckleberry.

There are only two sets of anchor locks, one on each side, but you could likely seatbelt a carrier base in the middle.

I actually forgot you guys were looking to expand even more - I was really thinking more of storage in the back, etc., and not as much about the bench-type seat that the Pilot features. I think We're stopping at two, so the Explorer will suit us for a while.

Gotta go for the Sport instead of the XLT or Limited, though.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Does "always go to the funeral" also apply to weddings? My dad's cousin's son is getting married on the same day as a UFC/casino trip. The groom is a nice enough kid but I've probably met him 8 times in my life.

No. Card with money works.

Yes. They'll appreciate your not costing them money when they really don't want to see you on their wedding day anyway.

I'm assuming Guster will be back as my "partner" again. Although I am nervous about his new relationship with the new girl he seems to like. It seems to be serious, but I don't think he's sent her a mix tape yet.

 

[Gadzooks]

I tried to watch some porn frosty sent me. I think it broke my DVD drive.

TPW. I think I sent you what I got from GM, so blame him.

Pretty sure I just sent you what Gadzooks sent me. Blame him.

Stupid gadzooks

My bad. Although depending on what it was, I might have gotten it from Stu who originally got it from GM. I love it when "porn it forward" comes full circle!

I think I sent porn as part of IB's secret santa gift and I don't think he complained about it.

Drunk History sucks a d compared to Nathan For You.

I watched a few minutes of the "Dumb Starbucks" episode on youtube. It was the segment where he goes to the lawyers office. Is the rest of the show similar? Is he ##### to everyone?

My wife and I have a dog named Luke (she named him after "Cool hand" Luke). We're in the process of rescuing/adopting a 12 year old border collie named Beau (pronounced Bo). We're going to have a pair of dogs with the same names as the Dukes of Hazzard. #inadvertentredneck

He likely did it on purpose. This was totally on accident. We also have a Australian Cattle dog (who's dressed as Yoda in my avatar). She was also a rescue from the local pound. Luckily she didn't come with the name Daisy.....

Per the local Humane Society, they're seeing increasing instances of older people who move into assisted living and have to give up their pets. Also lots of families who lose their homes and either can't afford to keep their pets or can't have them where they're renting.
