The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

My friggin Spawn says she’s not going to let S1G2 sleepover on Friday.

WTF? I’ve got 33 years (X 2) of parental experience .(not to mention Mrs Grumpy has half that) and Spawn 1 has about 48 hours. Who the hell does she think she is?

I'm all the way out here in the hinterlands of Wilbraham, without power since 11 last night, hoping all you in the worse-weather regions of the east are still around and your chilling coils and HLTs didn't blow away last night.

 

[Dland]

We had no power for about 6 hour last night, many broken limbs in yard, etc. Very windy still, no boats, no cell service, sent crew out to work anyway, despite continued high wind they wanted to, and declined my offer of hardhats.

I'll make sure the chipper is running today, we will need it tomorrow. I test fired the main generator before last storm, so far not needed.

BTW, congrats, PTN.

It was already blowing up when I went to bed late last night, I was pretty sure we'd lose power. I was more worried about a tree landing on the house.
My UPS log says we lost power between 4 and 6am here. Everything was back up when we awoke.

 

[paulthenurse]

Thanks DL.

We never lost power. God wouldn’t do that to my, I’m on a roll

 

[balrog]

1:05, still out here. National Grid hates Wilbraham.

Edit: 2pm power restored, beer gods must be happy because the stir plate with the WY1469 actually started back up without having to reset the stir bar

Edit2: 81 freaking miles an hour in Boston?! Yee gadzooks.

Had to run over to Natick and saw a lot of trees/big branches down with cleanup crews all over the place.
Is there any money in pine needles? Because I'm rich if there is

 

[balrog]

He’s a she. It’s ok, girls are tough.

Both mine are girls, now in their twenties.

I still get that look sometimes.

(I consider it a badge of honor)

 

[Melana]

Girls are tough.

 

[paulthenurse]

What she ^^^^ said.

 

[paulthenurse]

If you think they’re tough to raise imagine trying to marry one.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

If you think they’re tough to raise imagine trying to marry one.

Oh I think you are in trouble now.

Had to run into Cambridge this morning and beheld the throngs of rowers and spectators turned out for The Head Of The Charles event.

They finally got a glorious day for it for a change, and between the tree colors and all of the rowing club houses dressed up in full regalia on a bright blue day it was quite the sight...

 

[HoppyDaze]

I fell asleep reading that post

 

[day_trippr]

Poor thing. Had to work at your mall kiosk job really late last night?

 

[HoppyDaze]

I feel like your next story will be about how they ran out of your favorite jello at the last Elks Lodge event

 

[day_trippr]

I know. I mean, who gives a fark about witnessing a world class rowing event and the associated pageantry, anyway

Why are you even here?

 

[HoppyDaze]

Oh just teasing you old guys... don’t take it too seriously. [emoji571]‍

 

[bluemoose]

It doesn’t match the pageantry of fish throwing. Talk about world class athletes.

 

[paulthenurse]

Throwing a fifteen pound salmon across a crowded market isn’t the spectacle. It’s the amazing self restraint displayed by those pelagic chuckers to not throw the fish into the face of the nearest hipster.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Oh just teasing you old guys... don’t take it too seriously. [emoji571]‍

You want me to believe you’re not an old guy?

I got to do some leaf peeping last week on my way to give a training on stress in CT the day following the storm and felt lucky that the leaves weren’t all blown away.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Has anyone seen this yet? How is it possible?

 

[balrog]

Eyewash please. Cleanup in isle 3.

 

[paulthenurse]

That is just wrong. Figures Rick is the one to bring it to us.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Well I’d like to see the pour... I don’t see how black foam can be produced by whit beer unless some sort of blackened lipid is used. Yuck anyway.

 

[paulthenurse]

It’s kind of like midget S & M porn.

On some level it’s interesting to know that it’s out there but I sure don’t want to watch it.

 

[bluemoose]

Little person S&M porn you insensitive bastard. Don’t make me give the head of their union your address.

 

[HoppyDaze]

There are insecure mods around here that will ban you for that PTN you insensitive prick

 

[day_trippr]

lol!
But that "insecure mods" crack could induce blow-back. Keep an eye on your post count - they may "disappear" you

Like when cape "threatened" to shoot me in the head and got banned. Lol.
