GM's thread about nothing (44 Viewers)

Tickets to Dallas purchased. Sorry rest of Oregon fans for jinxing us. :(
"It's gonna be a turkey shoot."
Probably should have researched getting a ticket to the game....these things are, uh, expensive. :oldunsure:
Hold off, GB. I'm halfway sure I'll have to go to this by myself this time, so we can sit together and odd couple it if Bama and Oregon make it.

I would like to find out the Dallas scalping laws, however. I usually buy tickets the day of the game.
:hifive:

Plane ticket purchased. I'll be there Fri - Tues. Maybe we will get to jail afterall.
I saw. I'm not that brave yet, and there's still a chance my sister is going to drive over for it. They usually schedule extra flights for these things out of B'ham if she doesn't go or I don't want to ride, so I feel pretty confident I can get a plane ticket last minute and SW flys to Love Field, right?

Oh, I saw where you were asking about ticket prices in that other thread, GM, and I don't want to argue about it with anyone there. I don't know what this one is going to be like, especially without the month in between for ticket prices to subside once the game is set, but I will still be heading to Dallas without a ticket, most likely.

I got a ticket through the school in 2009, so that was face value, of course. I saw a guy haggling with someone over a ticket out there, and the buyer wasn't going for anything over face. The seller walked off twice, and finally came back to sell it to the guy.

2011 Bama/LSU was the toughest ticket of all. I got laughed at by people for two days when telling them I wasn't paying $1000, but got a ticket about 30 minutes before the game for $800. I was nervous about fakes, but it worked out. I sent my BIL in with one ticket before buying the second. I got anxious about making the kickoff, and I lost track of the guy a couple of times buying alcohol on the street (it was New Orleans, of course). Seeing that he had no interest in ditching me, I just bought the other one and found my BIL still waiting in line.

I almost went to Miami at the last second in 2012. I knew ticket prices were coming down a couple of days before, and I thought it would be easy to get in. I talked to a lot of people who got in for under $500. I should've gone.

I think you're almost always going to have the upper hand in these types of situations with scalpers, because most people won't travel without a ticket to these events. I'd be surprised if I didn't come out at least somewhat better by waiting until I'm in Dallas to find a ticket.

Going to a live nativity at the church tonight and then having some friends and their kids over for dinner. I'm pretty sure that coming home early so I could drink whiskey to prepare for it was a great idea.

I showed up with the ladyfriend (she's going to need a name at some point) around 6:30. Charv was already there. Things started slowly, since it was just the three of us and we were just off work and sober. Good sign was after the first drink she started ordering double tall vodkas to get in the spirit of things, which also meant that each round now included shots of fireball. Drifter arrived, drinking ramped up, and fireball was abandoned for tequila.

I should have known things would go south when the waitress brought us a round of tequila shots we didn't order when she brought our quite impressive tab (thanks for splitting that, drifter).

I proposed going to the dive across the street for darts or pool, but somehow it got turned into bowling, possibly because my (date? girlfriend? woman who will never talk to me again?) said she would dominate all of us. we ended up all going separately to a bowling alley in west seattle, where she texted me "I'm the only woman in this place." pretty sure she thought this was the beginning of a porn shoot.

she opened a tab, which as far as I know is still open. Drifter also opened a tab. Pitchers upon pitchers of beer were brought to us, and she made good on her promise to destroy all of us at bowling, despite the fact that Drifter went home and showed up with his own shoes and ball. every pitcher was accompanied by a round of shots. at some point, I don't think we were even ordering them anymore but they just kept coming. since she declined the shots but people kept bringing one for her each round, I was taking hers and mine each time. Rude and Rudewife showed up for the second game.

I lose things right about there. Vaguely remember falling with a shot in my hand, hitting my head and spilling it on my face.
ALL OF MY LIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Covering stuff about "the West" this week. Yesterday we were discussing Mountain Men, fur trapping, Astoria Oregon (my students were excited to find out that's where they filmed "The Goonies"*) etc.

In reference to the beavers being "trapped out" in the East one kid asked "did they ever try and start a beaver farm?"

My real response: Well, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work like that. Beavers aren't like cows or chickens. That's an interesting thought, though."

What I wish I could have said "There is a Beaver Farm...it's right down the highway from The Bunny Ranch up by Carson City."

*I may have also told a few of my classes "My good buddy Forrest lives in Astoria. His house is like a block away from where Mikey's house is" out of pure boredom.
:lmao: :lmao:

You got greedy boy, a D changes easily into a B.

my hair is crunchy. I was thinking it was blood, but it's too sticky. then I vaguely remembered an incident where I fell, hit my head, and spilled my drink on myself.
Don't worry about it. You wouldn't be the first guy drifter skull #### ed at a cornhole

 
Going to a live nativity
This still baffles me.
It's a Christian thing called the Nativity Scene. It depicts the story of when Jesus was born in a manger. There's Jesus, his Mom & Pop, Mary & Joe, and some wiseguys carrying serious heat for back in the day. Since it's in a manger, you might call it a barn, there are also animals involved. Usually a camel, a few lamb and some cows. Now I don't know what kind of pervert puts three different species of animals all in the same manger but I'm not here to judge.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

 
I got a "shout out" on the number one radio show in St. Louis yesterday. A friend tagged me yesterday, I'll link on FB if you care. I know you don't care.

 
Sorry about all the FR on the FB from my slave name. I have a good reason. The first being that after Cal's medicine did indeed go generic, UHC, then tells me it will be months before they will decide it they will cover it. Neat, not what they've been telling me since August. I haven't decided if I want to raise hell or not. I think it is "only" going to be $170 a month.

You may have already posted it, but what is the name of the medication? PM if you want.

Intuniv

 
Personally I'm pretty sure I already know the plot. At least the boys are going to get to pet some animals.

These friends of ours are pretty churchy. And in a sincere way. But they are also very sweet. Just the kind of people that are best experienced with at least a mild buzz. Thus the whiskey.
the whiskey is the only part that makes sense.

You mean the animals in the manger aren't kids in costume and essentially furries in the making?

A later report suggests he spilled several. This sounds pretty catastrophic.

In keeping with the Bill Murray theme, this is how I imagine fish at that fateful moment.

Pretty accurate.

 
and my grandmother said- it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich girl as it is poor girl.

they were freaking geniuses, my grandfolks.

 
SO much to do this weekend, friends coming in tonight, a non-functional pregnant wife stressed about making the house look good, I finally got everything under control and had time to get everything done, need to run to Costco to pick up a shelving unit because the one I bought yesterday was bad, and bang, no start on the 4runner.

So now I'm taking the starter off of my 4runner to try to rebuild it. I hate it when #### breaks. Especially when you have a pile of other #### to do.
Call me if you get in a jam with this. I can walk you through the reinstall.
Got that ******* out. Parts to rebuild it show up at 6:30. Odds this ends with me having my 4runner towed to the shop on Monday are very good.

 
net worth took a 15% hair cut today. I am going to be really drunk on stuff I can still afford. To Rite Aid and its FINEST boxed wine.
I was in Bartell last night and noticed they now have their own branded wine. Took a picture of it, thought about posting here, but I'm way too lazy to do that, so you're going to have to make do with imagination.
