3 - Annyong

4 - roverfish5 - guster friend

6 - St Louis Bob7 - guster

Seems legit.

Argonaut?

One of Krista's cats

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

We are interviewing catsitters. One of them asked the names of our cats. I replied.

Argonaut: 11-year-old male. Goes by Argo, Args, Argonuts, Mr. Awesome, Senor Awesome, The Argo, El Argo, Senor Nuts, Mr. Orange, Senor Orange, etc.

Tinktinktinktinktink - 5-year-old female. Goes by Tinkers, Tinkerbell, Tinkerbelly, Lil' Belly, T5, Space Cat, T5 the Space Cat the Space Cat from Outer Space, Hai Cat, The Cat of Hai, El Gato del Hai, Panther, She is Like Panther

Rocket the Squirrel - 3-4 year-old male. Goes by Squirrel, Squirrely, Esquirrel, Ooooooooo, Mr. Esquirrel the Mystery Squirrel, Greater North American Pocketless Flying Squirrel

Chance - 1 year-old male. Goes by Dumb Face, Squib, Squibs, Squibbles, Squib-e-de-doo, They Call Me Mr. Squib, Squibbety-Da-Da-Dow!

I suspect we are going to have to pay more.

I didn't realize K4 bought squares for her cats. Is this for tax purposes?

 

[shuke]

Gustergate reminds me of an idea I had for a squares pool, auction style. Beginning of the season, every square is available for $5, except, you know what you are getting. You want 0-0? Bid on it, but know that someone could outbid you tomorrow. By the time the superbowl arrives, hopefully the good squares are high enough that it makes sense to throw $10 on 5-8 or whatever.

This sounds awesome.

It's the only fair way to decide which of them gets to be my favorite. Looking good for Argonaut right now.

You're one of those?

Bacon is not a potato chip. It shouldn't crunch.

I don't want it to be a potato chip. But I've never worried about cooking it to that point myself. That should only happen when a line cook isn't paying attention. Or they decide to burn it rather than spit on it when somebody sends it back for not being crisp enough.

Bacon cooked directly in the pan in it's own grease = Costanza's swimming penis or Brady's footballs.

Bacon cooked in a small bit of water then fried = Full sized meat stick.

Pshaw. Bring some bacon to Vegas and I'll fry it up right for you in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd.

My dog thinks her nickname is #####, though I've never actually directed it at her.

I save bacon grease for cooking. Am I losing any using the oven?

 

[General Malaise]

My co-worker microwaves it. Were it not for his genius stock ideas, we would be done as friends.

We still pour it off the tray and save it for cooking. Not sure about the effect on total grease volume.

[General Malaise]

getting doored.

we just had snowapalooza, so there's still a lot of snow and slushy puddles around.

I guess it's harder to get doored in Portland with everybody riding unicycles.

Okay, watched most of this now and while I feel bad for the guy, he comes across as a bit of a tool. Video starts out with him yelling at pedestrians to "LOOK OUT" as he races along in the bike lane. He gets hit, refuses an ambulance and then says "I don't talk to police if I can help it". Yeah, okay. Slow down a bit when you see cars that pose a risk of opening a door. Not saying he is at fault, but he could have mitigated the damage by employing some common sense.

"I don't talk to police".....what a knob.

I REALLY like this. That square we won the $25k on was a $1000 square that we bought off the guy for $2000.

poor guster

Computers are the devil.

Should have had a paper block IMO

Next year I vote shuke and I draw squares over lunch in an epic 30 minute long shot video

I hope he ends up getting Bender'd

 

[-fish-]

Can't access. WTF are my numbers?

Den 7, Sea 3Den 7, Sea 6

RIGGED

I have my doubts about the randomization. there seems to be a pattern for people that got multiple squares. look at Aaron, me, GM, IB, ignoramus...all of us got the same number on the same team in at least two squares.

blame Excel most people got multiple squares

and most of them got the same number twice. in addition to the ones i listed...brony, cos, sacamano, da raiders, stryker, TigerFan, YSR...

shenanigans.

Another year of rooting for safeties, missed extra points and two point conversions.

16 people got same number/team. I'm assuming the numbers were assigned randomly in the semi-alphabetical order? if so, then there are another 10 or so where a same team/same number was generated but got split to two people.

Not blaming Guster, but excel's randomization seems to suck balls.

searching for "shenanigans" I came up with this series of posts from last years' squares (not boxes) pool.

 

[-fish-]

many of the other results for "shenanigans" seem to be about me or drifter getting drunk. what a surprise.

 

[Drifter]

Obviously there is a flawed methodology if two years in a row people got both sides of a pair of numbers.

REDO!

 

[Drifter]

I actually have one good set so probably should shut up.

 

[Osaurus]

Any squares left? For a friend.

I'll sell you my 9-1. it has an almost 1/2 percent chance of winning.

I don't. I'll carry this torch. 2,9 and 9,2....really? I mean, at least kiss me after you #### me in the assssss.

Wife went out, oldest at a friends so it's just me, the 2 little ones and some Four Roses small batch

Hmmm, I usually go for the kissing first, and have no interest after. Have I been doing this in the wrong order? This could be important during my upcoming trip to Mexico.
