Look at all these bandwagon Duck fans. Last night was pretty shit, I've spent the last few weeks putting together a stock pitch and was planning on getting wasted after finishing it last night. By the time everything was said and done 1am had rolled around and I just went to bed. Pretty lame.
My mom had asked me a couple times how mass was, or if I went this morning. So far I have been good at avoiding the questions. The Catholic guilt never stops, though.
Weird, I always kind of assumed everyone here was a godless heathen like me. Does that fall under the false-consensus bias or am I even more self-involved than that?
Neither. People are all over the place here, it's just one of those conversations that isn't had very much.
Two parishes? That's a lot of altar boys. No wonder he had a stroke. And a shout out of thanks to the Veterans! Anyone else find it depressing that the Christmas marketing barrage is already in full swing and it isn't even mid-November? I just ordered my Thanksgiving turkey for Pete's sake.
I'm a little hacked off to see Christmas shit starting in October. It's in full swing now. Thanksgiving is barely a hiccup on the radar at the store. I guess what with the recession and no money thing, the advertisers have to start extra early to convince you to spend all you've got on some stupid shit your kid won't even look at in 2 months.
Are you really the organist? Have you ever been tempted to randomly launch into the circus music or Take me out to the Ballgame?
Lucky you. I do a moderate amount of volunteering and people try to convert me at least 3 times/year. Because apparently I can't be a conscientious citizen without first having a good relationship with God and Jesus.
I'm really the organist. Have been for 16 years. I occasionally will "sneak" songs into the preludes that sound sacred but aren't, but I haven't done it since I got the stern talking-to about my musical choices last year. I drove into church with the roof off the car blasting Tom Jones' Sex Bomb. Apparently that was "disrespectful".
Every fucking Sunday Yahoo Fantasy Football won't load for shit on my laptop, eat shit Yahoo. Fanatic religious people are just funny to me, I used to get angry but now I just smile and go about my day, I was dating the wife for 3 years before we got married, her stepmother never spoke a word to me, not once in three years. Soon as we got married all she does is chat me up about the benefits of the Baptist church. They won't even come to our house because we lived in it together before we got married, she keeps asking when I am going to buy a new house.
It's not just your laptop today. All of yahoo fantasy was down earlier which fucked over a few people in my league who were trying to make last minute roster changes.
It occurred to me today: another reason I hate movember is that, at least in Canada, the first third / half of the month is consecrated to veterans and wearing poppies. Growing a stupid moustache detracts from an otherwise very sombre two weeks.
Sorry, this is apropos of nothing, but if anybody has advice for a first-time car buyer (it's not me fwiw), please pm me. I'll repay you in rep points and dissections of stand up comedy.
Hey Nom, I sent you a PM about this, but I thought everybody could use this site if they're buying a car. http://www.carbuyingtips.com This site has literally saved me thousands of dollars and god knows how many headaches. For example, in '03 I paid 32k for my Sequoia and the sticker was 48k with all the options. Not to mention, because I had all my shit together (thanks to the site) I was in and out of the dealership in under 40 minutes in my new car.
