Just saw this tweet then came to the board and read your comment about multiple people with recognizable/famous names.

On the list of things you don't want to hear on the phone out of the blue "The ambulance is on its way"
Long story short, wife had some outpatient surgery yesterday, her mom calls me and opens with that sentence. She's fine, turned out to be considerable ado about nothing (thankfully) but that's a shitty phone call to get regardless.

You should put her in touch with the college donation person.

No. Fn. Shit. And while I'm posting anyway, you know what else sucks pretty bad? Beating the ambulance to the hospital by like 20 minutes. In that span of time, you don't know if that's cause they didn't transport or if something went badly wrong or if you're at the wrong hospital.

I really want the John Wick and Matrix universe to be the same. Just finished Chapter 2, and the pieces look they should all fit together somehow. This needs to be done.

Saw a couple of clips from the post-game after my son's HS alma mater won the region title for the first time since 2012. The players comments were on par with most college players (one of them a just a freshman) and honestly they were more comfortable on mic than the local (print) sports editor who did the voiceover between segments.
It's something his old school does a great job with, they start interviewing players (just for internal & social media use) around the 5th grade, by the time they hit HS, they're old hands at it. Learning to speak comfortably in public is a huge skill to come out of K-12 with IMO.

It seems our shopvac is on the fritz (or at least no one wants to fix it this late at night) so I'm blowing fans over my carpet so it smells all wet. Ugh. I just wanted to get drunk tonight to celebrate the fact that I turned in my final papers for my Master courses tonight.

A little bit surreal to go vote today & cast a ballot for someone I've known for, give or take, almost half their lifetime.
Cool ... but a little weird/surreal.

I've seen a lot of stuff in my life, can't say that I've ever seen anyone named Adidas before tonight. (middle name is Storm)
That I saw the name for the first time in a police blotter report isn't the biggest shock of my lifetime.

I'm like 99% sure I didn't authorize a pizza delivery to James Harrison tonight because he lived too far out of range. I was a bit skeptical at first when the driver said something, but Zillow search of the address likely made the story make sense.
Anyways, pray for me FOFC. Last edited by stevew : 11-11-2017 at 03:43 AM. |

This isn't as good as the LBJ/Haggar slacks one, but it nonetheless falls into the same category as when I first heard that one: "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!"

Because there's a new rule that game show hosts have to hold the prize money between their two front teeth for 30 seconds before handing it to the winner and the Pyramid still pays out in hundreds. |

Our staffing levels suck and we need to get a few part-time people in the store. Our company is not very good at advertising that we have openings. Where can I post for free so that we can get a few people in.

My wife and I have played MMOs together since at least the Burning Crusade expansion of WoW. All that time we've been in the same room playing so we never needed to use the chatbox, and I have pretty much handled any chat functions to other players in-game. Last night, after 10(?) years, she discovered she could send a private message to me using the 'whisper' command.
About 20 seconds later, she invented cybersex. |

Okay, so ... am I the only person not seeing anything in the Ksyrup post, aside from what he typed?
Link removed? Is one of my adblocker blocking a link? Something else?

I just copied the twitter image URL and posted it here. Not sure who can see it.
It's an ad for a service called Trim. I believe it's a financial service like Mint, is my guess. It keeps coming up as the second or third "tweet" on my timeline. In fact, I'm looking at it now. "Managing finances is hard. Get your financial together with Trim!" And then the pic. It even says "forget Mint.com, use this Bot instead." I guess if they were looking for something eye-catching, it worked. Luckily, I haven't had to live without trim for over 25 years, so I'm good.

I Googled the phrase, looks like they've been running that (likely a sponsored post) since at least August. The replies are predictably amusing

Every time I make scrambled eggs this comes up. I mix up the ingredients in a small bowl. I pour the ingredients into a pan. I put the used bowl under water to rinse it. The remnants and the water create a froth. I scream at no one in particular, "WHAT MAKES YOU DO THAT!!"

So I had a three hour layover in Denver today as I was traveling back home from LA. Some guy comes up to me and asks if I'd be willing to be filmed for an advertisement for a new room in the Airport and get some free stuff. Sure, what the hell, I thought.
I sat there with a few other complete strangers, and we played a football trivia game. Just as I was thinking that this is pretty stupid, in walks Peyton Manning. Pretty cool dude. Got a free signed Broncos hat and a photo op. What made it cool is that it was a crowd of about 15 so it wasn't something I stood in line for three hours to get a two second shake of the hand. It definitely made the layover go quickly. |

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday.
Except for the food preparation and the stress and time crunch it can create. And I personally have been barely ever been in involved in that side of things. But the people around me, in all stages of my life, have always been drawn to the process - the whole thing. I try to help in others ways and I've always appreciative of any food anyone has ever made that I've consumed, but, I don't care about it one bit. I'd be so happy with pizza or a Whole Foods meal pickup if everyone could just hang out, and drink, and watch football without a care in the world. Edit: And it's nice that the ole' Fitchburg/Leominster Massachusetts high school football game is on facebook live now (one of oldest Thanksgiving high school rivalries in the country, every year since 1894)....I spent many cold rainy days there when others prepared food....though there's already been one ambulance on the field so that's a bit of downer.
