GM's thread about nothing (24 Viewers)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I am beginning to see a pattern in my FFA life.

Most of the year I come and go in this thread only. Sometimes I'm regular, sometimes I'm sporadic. But its always a warm place to come and visit friends, as they mercilessly give one another ####. Its a great community I'm proud to be a part of.

But a couple times a year (during baseball or football fantasy drafts) I wander outside this thread and somehow end up in threads here that eat a bit of my soul. I get sucked in thinking there may be some discussion on the current events presented, but it always devolves into mean-spirited chest thumping and vitriol. How can people I associate with be so demeaning, ill-informed and petty?. Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in. STELLA!

Typically I'll disappear a month or so to deal with the PTSD and then recollect that there is the refuge that is GMTAN and I should just stay there. Where its safe.

I didn't bother reading anything outside of the bold. Awesome.

You guys are a bad influence.

Your face is a bad influence.

Ouch

Yeah, living in Africa is probably no picnic.

This is a photo of a Philippine Tarsier in a tree with the words "heil hitler" photoshopped on to it.

My drunken card-counting skills are quite rusty, as it turns out. I can do it easily sober, but that's no fun.

That is a good description of that photograph.

Nothing is fun if it's easy except for everything because then you win.

That neo-Nazi can probably see in the dark pretty well.

Umm, what?

Pit bosses are told card-counters don't drink. Having a 2-3 cocktails an hour makes you look more lucky than good.

I don't know. Ask somebody else.

I almost went to Las Vegas, New Mexico once.

This, again, feels like a night where I'm going to post a lot.

I don't know what that means.

Originally it's a game my buddies and I used to play when we were wasted and CDs were a thing. You choose a song and play it. It must be listened to in its entirety and then somebody else chooses one. It can be something you like, a crowd pleaser, something you want to turn others on to or something to annoy the hell out of everybody.

Stryker and I did it a couple months back here. Same rules. Post the link and you have to listen to the whole thing before you can post the next one.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

You guys want me to post what I'm playing on Spotify? I know it is a board favorite.

With his extra penny.

Can't play right now. Watching TV with the wife.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Fine, I'll play. Who goes first?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Burns: "Look at him strutting around like he's cock of the walk. Let me tell you, Homer Simpson is cock of nothing."

Smithers: "Hmm.."

 

[Frostillicus]

This game sounds terrible. I'm going to run my face into a post instead.

Gambling story :

My boss is 6' 7 and probably 280 at least. Told me this story today. Last time he was in Vegas he ended up at a blackjack table with Andrew Bynum. Boss is a big spurs fan and never ending #### talker. Apparently Bynum was at the $25 table and playing bad. He stayed on 16 when the dealer showed 10. So my boss said to him, "the next time you do that, Kobe is going to #### your wife." Tension builds. A few minutes later Bynum gets 16 again against a face card and my boss tells him "if you mess this up again, I guarantee you will blow out your knee again."

Fight.

Security.

Thrown out.

 

[Frostillicus]

Do you guys think Jennifer Aniston is really good at BJs or really bad at them? Gotta be one or the other.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Who the hell is Andrew Bynum? /belljr

 

[Drifter]

Do you guys think Jennifer Aniston is really good at BJs or really bad at them? Gotta be one or the other.

Horrible. No doubt about it

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Very bad. She probably hasn't had to give one since she was cast in the TV version of "Ferris Bueller".

Twenty days out. Time to start practicing.

This song seems fitting for this thread. Have fun with the awful/awesomeness

Two night at Four Queens, three nights at the Plaza.

 

[Frostillicus]

That's what I was thinking too.

How do the two compare? I've stayed at The Fitz( The D), Nugget, and Golden Gate.

The D is the best value IMO

Nugget is great but sometimes their prices are oddly inflated.

Golden Gate is a dump of a hotel. Love the casino but the rooms were terrible.

 

[strykerpks]

Did I tell you about the time I got a terrible BJ from Jennifer Aniston?

It was AWESOME!

Because I cheated and stopped listening after 22 seconds. Do I lose or something?

Hi happy people!!!

I get confused when I see this alias now. I know it but I still always thing "Damn, he's back"

It doesn't matter what name I decide to use; that's the usual thought.

Between foul ball talk and whatever in the #### has been going in here for the last hour, it's like you people are trying to kill this thread.

I challenged Frosty to eat a peanut butter and bacon sandwich and he wussed out. Get on him for that.

"Esmae" -- The Black Tibetans

(song starts about :28)

What sucks it they don't have full vids on youtube. If you dig it check them out on Spotify. "Be With You" is pretty slick.

Oh and I want to hug the bass player a lot.
