[TellurideCat]

-Ghostbusters 2 was awful (will acquiesce courtroom scene not bad) but reference it frequently in annoying circumstances especially when wife/myself do all the work on chores and one of the kids help at the tail end, congratulating themselves. Like Louis.

-Pretty sure you can know your neighbors and have a community feel without an HOA and a coffee shop directly next door but what do I or half this thread know?

-Raleigh 3/4 of year with kids and CO other times. @justa tea leaves say you are in Nash or Franklin?

-Elly should just quit baseball. He clearly sucks.

-First solo Lexington trip in a bit coming up. Strong hankering for Bourbon & Toulouse. Does it suck now? Leaving rest up to local crew. No expectations but happy to be back for a few days.

-F*ck it, I’m somewhat excited about football. Get me outta this heat, mentally.

Listen man, century, you live in bumf**k Alabama, your life is unquestionably awful. I mean, at least you’re likely the smartest and least racist guy in any room I guess. That’s probably cool to you.

Sorry I interrupt the hive mind think around here where most everyone’s opinion is that of every single other white male middle class American from the Midwest. “Hey you guys like bourbon? What kind do you have on your shelf now?!?!?! Golly gee what a set you have!” “Who wants to hear about my vacation which was really just a two week reprieve from the daily doldrums hell in which I reside seven days a week?” “Any one else buy a golf cart to be all whacky and drive around the neighborhood? Wow what a riot it is drinking a beer on one of those and just cruising around the neighborhood!” Peak of existence **** right there I’m telling you.

You can circle jerk the **** out of each other all you want on the same boring *** topics which is a great reason this place is dying tbh and no football season is unlikely to save it, and sometimes I will come in and give a contrary opinion on how my life is different and I’m sorry that makes you blow a cap dude. Some of us live differently. You chose one of the least desirable places on earth to live, that’s on you bubby.

So ease up bud, taking it out on one of the few that doesn’t fall in line of being a good little boy/citizen and going to college, get married, make babies, have job for 30 years, rarely if ever move to another city much less state, and shake your fist at those that do. Put me on ignore or stfu to be honest. Your actions and words are uncouth and reek of desperation and self-loathing.

And whoever the **** it was that said my life is 80% fake like FB, a) I don’t do the faces of the book, that place is a desperation shitshow of people keeping up with appearances, b) my life is as I portray it no need to fabricate anything or lie about it. I don’t have cable or streaming, I read books at night on the couch before bed. I take two dog walks through my neighborhood a day and usually a 6-10 mile bike ride down by the bay, I work out 5 days a week, look like who you always wanted to look like, play in the dirt with my flowers and herbs, meal prep two days a week, take trips with my lady (NSB villa facing the Atlantic next weekend) where we **** and eat and drink coffee (she’ll have a couple cocktails which is never a bad thing ) and take nature walks and bike rides, with no kids around (bringing my dog though) and pretty much put our phones away for the weekend. Feel free to hop on my IG dork, I just post 99% flowers/nature, my dog, and inspirational quotes, aphorisms and things that make you think. I’ll throw some book reviews in too, look out for my upcoming Tao Te Ching vs 48 Laws of Power, it’s sure to be a doozy. Here’s a quick preview, I much prefer living with the Dao vs screwing everyone you know over to advance yourself through deception and lies. I lean toward a rising tide floats all boats and whatnot. But besides that go **** yourself guy I didn’t even pay attention to his post enough to see who it was.

For the rest of you, have a lovely evening. It’s time to leave the gym and hit this bike ride by the bay. **curtsy with middle finger**

 

[wildcatadam6]

Bourbon and Toulouse has never been bad. Consistent quality and the best value in town, IMO.

 

[cricket3]

WTF is that?

Hey rogue, you treat women and children poorly.

 

[Johnnie Africa]

One thing rogue is remarkably good at is generating discussion and replies, which GYERO desperately needs to stay on life support at the moment

And as someone who just celebrated his 12th year wedding anniversary yesterday with 3 kids 8 or under, I’m not going to lie and say I don’t occasionally(or more) fantasize about having his life. Not the stupid **** he does specifically, but just the fact that he can do his stupid **** without thinking about it. I just have no “days off”. Every day is something, and it seems every day I become more important, needed, and necessary in my life be it work or with my kids or with my wife. There is just no downtime, there is always something that is needed from me. I mean it’s nice to be needed I guess but it’s sometimes an overwhelming stress. If I fall down and seriously get injured like 10 people’s lives are ******, it’s overwhelming and never ending. And it doesn’t seem to let up when the kids get older, it just seems it gets more frequent and expensive and the potential problems worse. I took golf lessons last year to learn, live on a GD golf course, and have only had the opportunity to play a 9 hole round the last 3 months FFS. I just want a damn sabbatical from life for 2 damn weeks. It’s probably why this damn thread is dying I barely check it anymore between the 500 other things I need to do a day.

PHEW alright glad I got that off my chest time to take the kids on a zany golf cart to get them to stop fighting with each other while I fantasize about bartending in Key West

 

[ukalum01]

I assume batting .218 with 2 strikes is probably 30-40 points above league average.

-Yeah Ron, that sounds about right. Everyday it takes me 2 hours to just get up and get everyone fed/going for the day. How? Why?! Yesterday my oldest counted the number of times the 4 year old asked to go to a store and buy a toy. It was something like 120x in about 30 minutes. “Mom!” “Mom!” “Mom!” But what will we do when they are older and don’t need us as much? Be sad, I suppose. Or bartending in Key West. Could go either way.

-@Rogue Mocha, @Century Cat lives in Lexington.

-Dropped my phone in the lake today. It fell out of the back pocket of my purse just before the end of the gangway/walkway to the parking lot. Called a diver because we weren’t sure exactly where I dropped it or how deep it was. Thankfully he rescued it and the iPhone16 seems to be pretty waterproof.

Apparently, this UK PharmD White Coat ceremony is a BIG deal. At Singletary Center in two weeks. The program is over 1-1/2 hours long and now I’m obliged to buy my son a ‘graduation gift’. - Jeesh didnt have that on my financial Bingo card. Should be fun. Ruby’s thereafter.

shooting in the City yesterday prompted the closure of our office today…. Working remote.

the heat the past two days has been atrocious, but I’ll still take the worst heat of summer over any bullshít winter doldrums. Golden hour cigar on the deck has been a staple.

can someone post a chart of old usernames —> new user names? This On3 transition blows but could be rectified with a little guidance from within.

the OLine getting some love yesterday gives me a slight glimmer of hope… nah, I’m not stupid. WITHOUT Schlarmann, there is no Big Blue Wall 2.0. But, if we have a few surprise wins, I’ll redo my avatar.

Nobody is arguing with you because you live your life differently. Its because you regularly come on here telling everyone else how much their life sucks compared to yours.

Quick review of my trip.

Hallstatt > Salzburg > Prague > Berlin.

Hope you enjoyed my vacation notes.

 

[Catsfan2025]

LOL, didn't read my post, but goes on to write a short story about walking his dog IN THE WOODS, whoa baby,, planting flowers, riding his bike (though left out his scoot scoot, disappointed), reading books while curled up with a blankey. Damn dude, you got it like that, riveting stuff. In fact, so great, you have went from a murse, to bartender, to wanna be fire fighter. Sounds like you are just a soft, unsure of himself, wannabe baller, who needs attention or acceptance. Anyone who tries so damn hard to be accepted or draw attention to their corny life on a message board, is well, different ??? Congrats, you work at the best bar in Key West was it ?, make bank, have the best girl, take the best / scenic walks, read the best books, have the greatest work out plan, fittest male in the US, maybe even the world. With all of that going for you, why try to draw attention to you, you, you ? Not to mention getting so upset because nobody wants to live your corny ***, wonderful life. It is not that you are portraying that life ( believe you), it is portraying that somehow THAT life is so much better than others live. You should try moving to Nantucket and writing a movie script for Lifetime, great stuff.

 

[ukalum01]

Did a 5 night Iceland “layover” earlier this month. Just a wild place. Active volcanoes, waterfalls everywhere, glaciers, crazy coastlines, etc.

And by active volcanoes I mean a large eruption evacuated a hotel we stayed in a few days after we got home.

League average last year was .171

 

[ThroughBlue]

aint no way he uses a stat that you are forced to look up, because honestly who gives a **** what you hit with two strikes, only to find out he really is 40 points above league average.

UKO is actually an elly stan just trolling PTI

-Raleigh 3/4 of year with kids and CO other times. @justa tea leaves say you are in Nash or Franklin?

Officially Franklin but a mile from Nash. Lake Royale on the other side of Bunn.

I was out in SW CO right before Covid. Love that Montrose, Ouray, Telluride area.

Good trout fishing out of Montrose. Went in with a buddy for a place in Telluride after numerous trips. Considered Ouray as it is “cheaper” and has its own personality. Polaris can get over Imogene Pass for a quick ride in to either. My favorite part of the state.

 

[ROGUE_]

-Firstly, the mfing ads on the bottom of the phone website are atrocious and makes it impossible to quote on a phone. Figure it the **** out On3.

- @Wodie sloot was I mixing he and ribsandwhitebread up? Either way, the point remains, it’s like the gd Stepford Husbands around here with their region/culture specific opinions, “interests” that have been forced upon them to feign fascination with, whether they’re actually intrigued by it or not, and their UK polos with slacks, easy to mix up.

But I digress.

- @80 Proof “Nobody is arguing with you because you live your life differently. Its because you regularly come on here telling everyone else how much their life sucks compared to yours.”

Century and others have said the same **** for years. “Rogue is f*g, he live in Key West and play with ding dongs.” It’s old and tired. So if they’re going to call mine out I’m going point out how irrelevant, unoriginal, redundant, and forgotten theirs is, in all aspects.

I mean sure I’ll never know the joy of raising a child, that’s probably cool as it can be, but I also skip out on the negativity and time drain it is. I see my buddies and I love their kids, but their life seems exhausting. Just trying to get the 3 of us together for a night takes two venn diagrams, a brainstorm session on a whiteboard, checking all 6 calendars, and a color-coded vision board.

-I’m really trying to be myself, happy, etc positive on the new version of GYERO but some of these retreads are doing just that, revamping the same foolsih **** from the old GYERO. Take that Twitter and FB negativity back to those places man. I left those sites (never had Twitter except when it first came out, Jesus I was still working at Pazzos then) because they’re a cesspool of humanity at its worst. I’d much rather this place be on the up and up. Ball busting is always fun but being a malicious just to be malicious is simple and juvenile, GYERO should be above that in my opinion. The IQ in here is obviously well above average so it’s way cooler and interesting when we talk and act like it vs being cave-dwelling LCD morons hurling insults.

Don’t try me people I WILL LEAVE AGAIN!!!!!

-Lemme tell you about free time… I’ve been entering in a mailed entry to win a sprinter conversion van every day for weeks. Just write it out at night when I sit on the couch before bed. Feel like a kid from the 80/90s trying to win some vaunted toy in a drawing we were never certain was even real. Maybe I’ll crack the Ovaltine code in A Christmas Story by the time I’m done with it.

 

[Century Cat]

You really do have me confused with someone or some others.

What annoys me about you is exactly as 80 put it. No more, no less. It's like you didn't get enough attention as a child and are starving for it so you use 10,000 words to tell everyone else why their life sucks compared to yours. Bravo.

That's all.

[BigBadBlueDaddy]

-Didn't see PTI, Brad Pyatt, Kip Sixberry of Deion Sanders(prayers) but still had a good time in Colorado. Just absolutely beautiful sights. Took in Pike's Peak, Vail, Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Breckenridge, Frisco, Red Rocks and UC football field(Folsom). Would love to see a concert at Red Rocks but couldn't bring myself to spend money or risk my genitalia being removed to see Melissa Ethridge and the Indigo Girls. The downside to all of it besides mostly driving was I never got acclimated to the altitude. Didn't get much sleep due to the lack of breathing.


-Took a page out of Krazy's playbook and had the house cleaned before we got back. Mrs. BBBD was happy about this. Also, see the next paragraph.


-Don't think I have ever mentioned this on the board but have been hosting a get together at my place the first weekend in August going back to 2008. In the early days, would have 20-30 people in all (including some GYERO'ers) and 8-10 sleeping on chairs, couches, sleeping bags throughout the house while going out on the lake and cooking out for the weekend. Would somehow integrate a fantasy football draft into it as well as we had an August party fantasy football league up until about 3 years ago. Would have several friends and neighbors join on Saturday night and was always a sight for me to see all my worlds colliding. Now most of us have gotten older, married, have kids, the boat is long gone and the last few years it's been a handful of people at the most. Those were some great days but circle of life and whatnot. Anyhow, before everyone packed up and left on Sunday, we had two traditions: 1) watch Kige Ramsey videos and 2) have someone read aloud the GYERO posts from the Eli Barron tournament which is always the same weekend. 2 doesn't happen anymore but Kige never dies. '73's blowup does get remembered each year though.


-I watched Happy Gilmore 2 and laughed a lot. Yeah, the back end of the plot could have been better but if I enjoyed the callbacks and laughing for two hours, I'm not going to complain about it. My Mt Rushmore of Adam Sandler comedies:

The Waterboy
Happy Gilmore
Big Daddy
Mr. Deeds

Underrated Sandler comedy-That's My Boy. As someone pointed out earlier, Uncut Gems may be his best movie.


-Not going to bother looking it up but feels like the Reds will always get to within a game of being in a playoff slot and start a slide. Of course the Dodgers showed up right on time for this one and the Padres (no Grande) all of a sudden can't lose. May try to make a game in a couple of weeks but doing nothing for a weekend seems awful tempting nowadays.
