GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

[DA RAIDERS]

Does it suck balls like the last one or can you actually use it during a draft?

works great

All those raving reviews can't be wrong

The previous one had great reviews as well and was awful. Unconvinced.

 

[Annyong]

YSR- you can be my Huckleberry

Edit: this means I'll be your teammate in this damn thing if you still need someone

Are you any good? I mean, last year I was paired with staff.

I can't be nearly as bad as the staff

 

[General Malaise]

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.

So was the mixtape any good?

She had a long drive to and from Wisconsin and wanted to hear some of the music I've been listening to. She said she liked it and I mean, she didn't break up with me a couple weeks later, so I think it went ok this time

I'll take a play list. I need some new music.

Anybody listen to the Temples?

 

[Gene Sackman]

So what's the deal with lamp shades..? I mean if it's a lamp, why would you want shade?

I find myself listening to a lot of crooner music when I am at home these days. Not really my preference, but it has grown on me. Other than that, I listen to sports radio.....a lot

Why to they call it Hoth? They should call it Coldth.

Not sure this is the proper thread for this, but....

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

Sidenote - who the hell gives up a 12 year old purebred border collie?! The note said he's had one owner.....poor guy....

Oooooof. Maybe the owner just couldn't take care of him anymore, moved or is now deceased.

Maybe getting more of the story tonight. They've moved up the "meet and greet" with our dogs to this evening at 6. Fingers crossed they all get along so I can start calling my male border collies "Those Duke Boys".

Awesome of you for doing this...have a beagle/border collie mix that I rescued at age 2. Couldn't imagine not rescuing another dog when the unfortunate time comes. Much respect.

I am posting a lot today...maybe it's because the Rays are looking like #### today.

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?

Hopefully neither.

FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITtlxjvLQis

That's pretty cool but I doubt if that fan is creating very much wind. It the same size as the one I'm using. And not a fan of using a block of ice. Too messy. Frozen gallon/2-liter bottles are the shark move.

 

[Frostillicus]

All this buzz for Sharknado 2 makes me sad.

Which beef sticks are your favorite? Not sure what flavor the ones that came in the green colored jar were....found it odd they didn't tell you on the packaging. Reser's is....odd.

How do you not remember who your partner was last year? Did you not confer with each other at all during the entire 9 month draft?

I think Tiger did the drafting, FDAS paid the entry fee, and commisholio set the extremely tedious weekly lineups. I'm not sure they ever spoke to each other, except to ##### about the team TF drafted.

All of this is 100% acurate.

Pretty sure we finished top 4, guy.

You staking us again?

Pass. I'm removing myself from all magic football leagues slowly.

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.

I did not. I also forwarded it on to Ignoramus, I think.

I do not recall receiving porn. I got an old playboy with two other magazine covers on top of it but nothing more racy. I will double-check tonight though.

I am, though I must admit I'm not sure I'm using it to its full functionality. I will beta albums there before deciding if they are worth my time to download. How do we swap spit tunes?

Cosjobs on the fence as well....might need another person to join the esteemed HFFL.

Carrow's? Mimi's?

 

[General Malaise]

When the Marie Callender's restaurant chain filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and shuttered nearly 60 of its restaurants across the country, including three in Oregon, it came as a surprise the chain's many employees.

But as Kirsten Joyce of KCPQ (Q13) television news in Seattle reported, the shutdown was even more of a shock for some diners in that city's Northgate location, who were asked to leave mid-meal:

Kathy Labay and her family gathered at the Marie Callender’s in Northgate to welcome their new son-in–law. They had 25 family members in the banquet hall at 2:15 p.m. Sunday but 30 minutes later, they were told they had to leave.

"I said, 'Is it something with the food'?" Kathy Labay said. "They said, 'No. They're closing the restaurant'."

The Labays were given pies and shown the door.

Perkins & Marie Callender's Inc., the restaurant chain's parent company, also shuttered its Beaverton, Gresham and Salem locations, spokeswoman Vivian Brooks told The Oregonian earlier this week. The Eugene and Medford locations will remain open, she said.

Were you in one of Oregon's Marie Callender's locations when it abruptly closed? We want to talk to you. Drop me a line at tannerboyle@oregonian.com,

"Here's a pie, now GET OUT!"

Touche. My wife's company gave her a $25 gift card to the OG for holiday bonus. We went. It was awful. Sat in my stomach like a lead anchor for what felt like weeks. Nice service, though. Kids liked it fine.

Since it isn't nationwide . It's about 1.3 steps up from a Denny's.
