Community Thread VIII 

Post#1 » by Erik Eleven » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:03 pm

milesfides wrote:What is the community thread?
A variety chat thread, a smörgåsbord of non-basketball related topics.

From circumcision to in-n-out double-doubles, cars parts to body parts, tidbits of family life to tales of hellbound hedonism. Anything goes.

A place to get to know some of the posters, kick up the feet, toss back a few, shoot the easy breezy.

Rule 1 of Comm Thread: Nobody talks about the Lakers or NBA related stuff.
Rule 2 of Comm Thread: What's said in Comm Thread stays in Comm Thread.
Rule 3 of Comm Thread: No hackneyed references to Fight Club.


I figured today's 5.4 earthquake was a worthy exit cue for lucky number seven, so here is number 8.

We're instructed to keep the threads to around 1000 posts, less than 100 pages. Massive threads slow down the boards, that's why. Here are the links to the previous ones:

Comm I
Comm II
Comm III
Comm IV
Comm V
Comm VI
Comm VII

Ready, set, go!

a new thread in honor of the angels acquiring mark teixeira and further cementing their top dog status in the entire league, excellent.

btw, i got the christmas game thread. calling it half a yr ahead just to make sure. i have a feeling lakers are going to start with like a 10-1 record in the season and i want to support them with a nice thread.

Nice well here we go again.

So to answer a few questions: No, no police involved. I believe that it would be a slap on the wrist for the thief, also have you ever seen the numbers on recitivism(repeat crimes)? Once they get busted once they get worse and make a life of it more times than not. I'm sure he's still hurting from the beat down I got in, and I'm sure my neighbors who are all big ol' ranch folk are not done with him yet if he shows up. So instead I started a ranch watch and expect we're either done with him or will have some piñata tryouts in the orchards.

Next story:

My girlfriend was going to multiple interviews this morning including a questionably awesome or super shady personal assistant to rich old man job today in Oxnard. So she gave me the address and told me she'd call me by 9 no matter what or to worry. Further complicating things her phone was shut down for lack of payment, but she promised she's find a phone somewhere and definitely call by 9.

So 10:30 rolls by and no call. So I get coverage at work, get in the truck and go to the house. Super nice beach neighborhood. I found the house wide open, doors, garage, etc... no gf car. So instead of strangle the rich old guy or freak out, I just went back to work. When she finally called me she said, "oops I meant 9pm". So whooo glad my hyper aggressive state of mind didn't lead to yelling at what could be a sweet employer for her. If she gets it there's a master bedroom in a large house with private access, a sail boat to use, segways, and great pay involved.

haha, so between that and the earthquake... eventful day.

This one should make it to the next comm thread:

I just sat here in awe, watching mother earth toy with us. To her, this was just a little clearing of the throat/squeaky fart. We're so small, it's not even funny.


No more burritos for earth then.
