GM's thread about nothing (12 Viewers)

Wife wants a rotary cheese grater for Christmas. They all look the same to me. Any suggestions?
Cheapest one. Pretty much all the same.

Also you should be fine with a regular old cheese grater.

Also so glad you're here.
We have like 4 regular graters. I don't ask questions at this point :shrug:
Get her one of these. Then she can use all of her graters and even a mandoline.
It's almost been two years since I took a chunk of flesh off my finger with a mandolin.

The thought of it still makes my stomach turn.

 
Confidential to Best Teammate Ever:

I just voted on the ESPN site to say that we will win this week's matchup. That's how we win, right? Votes? Anyway, we had 100% (1-0) of the votes. YW.
I hope so. We aren't going to win by the more tedious measure of merit.

 
Is there a way to get rid of a phone that's completely fried so that no one can ever access the data? On top of shattering my tablet last week, yesterday my phone just straight up stopped working. Flickered, then smelled like smoke and made a whining noise. I have a new one coming, but I can't even turn this one on the empty it. Giant magnet? Lava? Any other ideas?

 
Shuke/UH/Lambskin/Otis/Binky & Homer/Frosty - kindly paypal me $20 (address at FF website) so I can pay the winner of the league promptly next week.

Gracias

Hammer? Let Guster give it an STD?

I drive a self-tapping sheet metal screw into my hard drives or drill a couple of holes through them before trashing.

Sounds like it already has one

 
I guess I owe a recap of Seattle hole, long overdue due to work.

I actually ended the day early on Thursday, which is not the norm, and headed straight to the bar where I would be meeting up with Fish and Fish-lady. I didn't have much hope of seeing anyone, considering the kristas had Ebola and important meeting with chimney sweeps, all others seemed MIA, doula meetings, etc etc, but hey, I'm was sure they had alcohol at bar, so why not.

I think I arrived at 4.30-ish, and proceeded straight to the bar. I noticed the bar shared a parking lot with a gentlemens establishment, interesting (#stulife).

Guinness was on tap, and the bartender was friendly. The pace was pretty empty, besides some corporate groups, and she commenced pouring me my first couple of glasses, handed over some shots (because apparently I looked like I needed them), and chatted with me for a while.Fish texted he was on the way, but that they were delayed due to wardrobe issues (?). I closed my 6 Guinness tab, which didn't contain any of the shots, or my food. WINNING!

Grabbed a booth, and after a couple of hours fish and lady showed up. I was told that Drifter would join later. I was also told that under no circumstances would we order shots, because that wouldn't be good. A round of drinks and good conversation later, fish ordered the first round of shots. Drifter arrived and the next round of shots were ordered, followed by the realization that drifter reacts badly to cinnamon, so maybe fireball was the wrong choice. More great conversations, around gambling, Swedish chess prodigies, early career choices, including the unholy triumvirate of careers (fish won), why the #### I decided to leave Europe, herbal enhancements, horse racing, horses, stable girls, and various others, each accompanied of a round of shots.

At one point fish proclaimed he was the king of bar darts, which I vehemently disagreed with. Challenge accepted! New shots were ordered, now Tequila, and somehow drifter and MissT started talking about bowling, and how she would beat him were they to play. At this point I am not sure why, but somehow it was decided that we needed to go bowling. (Disclaimer: I do not bowl, have absolutely no interest, or talent, and my prior experience was at 15 and 18, and my top score was around 50-ish). Apparently we were going bowling, but I was promised the place had a bar, so why not. (Thanks for picking up that tab guys).

Drifter drove Fish and MissT to their cars, while I headed to bowling alley, in the middle of nowhere. Fish, MissT and myself made it to bowling alley bar, but no drifter... we figured he had dropped off, and we ordered a couple of pitchers. And shots, fireball again. MissT opened a tab, and I did as well. Mine included pitchers and Svedka. (Note: I know my close was $220-ish, and shots were $5 each). Drifter showed up, with HIS OWN SHOES AND BALL!!!!JUAN!!!!!!!1111111!

Bowling commenced, and I received a lot of tips on how to roll that crap... I'm pretty sure I had the wrong size ball, because my fingers kept getting stuck in the holes, but I couldn't find any bigger. Whatever... Each round (frame?) closed with shots and pitchers. Somehow I managed to beat drifter, and MissT mopped the floor with the lot of us. At one point Rude showed up with the lady, and more pitchers and shots were ordered. Some shot vids were produced. I'm pretty sure we scared her off of any future cornholing, but she seemed very nice. Around the end of round 2 of bowling fish went on a bar run, because we were out of shots, and came back balancing 6-8 shots in his hands, and slipped on a (probably caused by us) wet spot, and went down hard(!). All the shots ended up in his eyes, hair, and there was some uncertainty whether or not he required stitches. Kind of put an end to the festivities, and the group disbanded...

I still had parking left at the earlier place, and didn't want to let that go to waste... :oldunsure: #stulife

Back at the hotel around 4-ish, up at 7-ish for 10 hours of work (yay, head ache).

TL;DR recap: Much drinking, wow slippage, such headache; very wow, much stormy

I watched all of the new netflix series "Marco Polo" on Sunday. I was doing laundry and putting new curtains and ish, so I figured why not.

It wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen and not all that historically accurate, but hey Kung Fu and nood Asians (stu>hey)!

Main character (read:white guy) looked a lot like Theon from GoT, but is apparently some Italian actor.

Did they even have swimming pools back then?

I yelled out "Polo!" a number of times to no one.

Apparently you missed the end of the first show. Loads of noods in shallow pools. Pretty sure this show has a good chance of not getting approved in England.
