GYERO ARCHIVE

I used to like the old Jim Beam Rye, bright yellow label. For a long time, until Rye became en vogue again, it was usually the only rye you could find. That and Old Overholt. That all changed around 2006. All of a sudden Liquor Barn had a dozen different brands, and everybody *Bulleit, Wild Turkey etc.
 
- Cincy should be in CFB playoffs.

- They also made the better UNC alum hire with Wes Miller in CBB.

- Should have been a short, easy work week...but a major client had a rough week.

- Staying in DC for Thanksgiving. My casino reward points should amplify.

- Don't think Stoops fits in great at LSU, but he's got to listen, regardless of money.

- Vegas is in jeopardy with a fundraiser scheduled. Here's hoping I can get out of it.

- Too much Wyvern the last half dozen pages.
 
* The Ghislaine Maxwell trial starts on Monday. The Clintons' suicide squad is slipping.

It sucks that the trial is federal and it won't be televised. Hopefully the sketch artist captures those sweater stretchers in their true majesty.

* Speaking of sordid sex parties involving underage women and the madams that pimp them --> we play Louisville this weekend.

* I'm super pumped about South Park: Post Covid tomorrow. I don't know how that show continues to be hilarious. I was in high school when it came out. The South Park movie is my favorite comedy ever.

* Bwhahahahahahahahaha. I appreciate CNN telling everyone that Trump is not actually a 9th degree black belt in taekwondo. Trump in a karate outfit over a suit is hysterical, no matter your politics.

there’s no previous successful history to ruminate upon here, he is it. He created our best era. He will have a statue. The field will have his name.

When did mediocrity escalate to greatness? Or is it you're so thirsty that the kool-aid has warped your mind?
 
Just a heads up, no one in the country is talking about rye whiskey besides people in KY. It’s not a big deal, relax. Also, I haven’t heard one person even talk about that kid, you mainlanders need to chill. Too much news in your ears.

Go put a mask on while you ride in a car with your significant other.

- Gotta admit - longing for the days when we straight kicked the shit out of good teams like Gonzaga is doing. Those days should be returning here soon. I’m going to enjoy this bridge year which has a shot to be pretty special in its own right.

- Zags are obviously legit. Holmgren covers up a lot of the dbag’s defensive deficiencies. We’ll see how much other teams catch up over the course of the season.

- BBdK mentioned a few times but some damn good college basketball going on right now.

- Live Christmas tree up and the house smells amazing.🥰

- Underrated Office Storyline: Ryan becoming a hipster doosh after losing his corporate job. Always cracks me up.

- Doctor I work with was telling a story of flying out to see family last week and being on a plane next to an old man and a three-year-old, who was fussing and acting as toddlers do. Poor guy was doing his best but people were making their frustration known. The man was actually the young’uns great grandfather and he’d obtained custody of the child 3 months earlier when his granddaughter passed away. His wife was supposed to join him on the trip but had broken her hip a week before. Pretty common unfortunately these days for grandparents and apparently even great grandparents to be raising kids. Just a reminder to maybe assume people are doing the best they can and give them a break.

- Absolutely love Cason Wallace. His highlight vids are essentially him grabbing balls away from people, textbook jumpers, basic but violent penetration, and straightforward jams. Kid is a workman with elite talent. He’s going to be awesome next to studly Sharpe and hot sauce Skyy Clark, among others.

-feeding 25 people tomorrow. Thankfully other than 2 turkeys, 2 hams, green bean casserole and some brussels it's potluck.

-mil's oyster dressing is off the chain...looking forward to it.

-3 sets of tennis outdoors last night...first 10 minutes are cold but it's pretty exhilarating TBH.

-wife and segunda have an early morning flight outta Louisville on Friday to go see a Korean boy band/sightsee in Los Angeles*. House to myself for a nice football weekend, not too shabby.

*Good chance they'll run into someone who's banged Jeremy P.
 
- I can hate on Timme, but I can't hate on Chet. Fascinating to watch, and doesn't act like he's "arrived".

- I think LSU goes with Napier, Florida goes with Kiffin, and USC goes with Aranda. However, I also think a couple more intriguing jobs open up. I think Harsin goes back to the NW and takes the Washington job, opening up Auburn (especially if they get ragdolled by Bama this weekend). And I think Georgia Tech realizes that three straight three-win seasons ain't gonna cut it when UGA is taking all the oxygen in the room, and when Collins couldn't capitalize on a down ACC, so I think they cut bait with him and hire Chadwell from Coastal Carolina.

- There has to be something oddly comforting about being a Lions/Cowboys/Ole Miss/MissSt fan and knowing that your team is always going to be playing on Thanksgiving Day, and that especially if you're a CFB fan, you can get your game out of the way and enjoy the rest of the weekend's slate.

- Remember GYERO back in the day when you rascals would excitedly look forward to Thanksgiving Eve, or as you termed it, "the best going out night of the year". Now we're talking vaccinations, house smells, and how to find channels on TV. Circle of life, man.

- Don't know if there's a bigger "hate it, but I always watch it" event each year than the Macy's Parade. I don't hate the parade itself, I'd still like to attend it one day, actually. Just hate the staged lip-synched performances for NBC. I'll still watch it, though.

- Word to those of you who have young kids...take those family vacations now. Oldest is a junior, and we're suddenly faced with the realization that we're running out of time. Don't put it off, because especially as they get involved in sports and other activities, that window closes fast.

- I won't be on GYERO tomorrow or the rest of the weekend, so let me say that I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. This has been a pretty terrible year for me, frankly, but you all have helped me get through it. I'm truly thankful for most of you.
 
Macy's Parade was always on growing up when we went to my Granny's Thanksgiving breakfast so it'll be on tomorrow while I cook Thanksgiving breakfast, pure nostalgia, plus my kids are young enough to get excited about the floats.

(it does suck though)

Had to get creative and move some stuff around (namely the mower and spare mattress), but ran the blower last night and cocktail hour in the old two car is all set.

Enjoy, doggie.
 
I can hate on Chet for you guys. I labeled him a bust from the get-go and will double down as many times as needed for the rest of his basketball career.

For some reason I don't mind Timme's antics. Love his game. Looks like a 39 year old barista, but is the BMOC and I get the impression that he knows these facts and appreciates them.

Real tree honk here, but wife is allergic, so fake tree it is. It's fine.

Blanton's, EHT, Weller, ER, all hit the shelves yesterday morning all over town. I had a conference call at 9am and missed all of it. Oh well, got most of that in the stash anyway.
 
  • Thanksgiving at 1:30 PM tomorrow. Shoot me in the face.
  • Friends in Glen Oaks are hosting a neighborhood 5K Turkey Trot; for the elementary-aged kids over there who I constantly have to hear about your cross country prowess via your moms' FB page: there is a target on your back.
  • @pretzel__logic's weight lifting stories inspired me to get to dead lifting again. I always sucked at those because it never felt right. Switched over to sumo style and that makes all the difference in the world. Anybody on here bet I can't pick them up?!?
  • That @BernieSadori - man - love hearing about his adventures these days. I feel if there's a halfway decent sporting event taking place or restaurant to go to - he's going. Good for him.
  • Ski trip 2022 scheduled. My wife won't let me pack up the entire family for a week and a half like I did last year because the kids will miss school (uh, yeah toots, I've been following what the local JCPS teaches them and they aren't going to "miss" anything.)
  • Speaking of JCPS; yesterday my daughter at Noe - which is supposed to be the gifted and talented school - had pajama day and just watched movies all day. Hey JCPS - perhaps dicking around was fine when kids didn't miss 180 days of school between 2020 and 2021, but now it's probably important that they take advantage of being there.
 
-last year it was close to 2 bills to go cut a tree down... heard they were north of 100 bones at lots.

^thats no problem for most of gyero...but I ain't gonna shit on folks that don't have that in the budget.

-wife goes nuts on garland(mantles/cased openings)...I'm ok with that.
 
Think I usually pay about $80 at Home Depot.

I’m sure SAE drives the whole family over to the lot together, wearing their matching sweaters and sipping homemade egg nog and listening to Christmas carols the whole way, but this isn’t a Norman Rockwell painting. It’s a tree, and it will be dead laying on the curb waiting to be picked up by a meth head in 30 days.

Don’t overthink this, fellas.
 
Yeah, PTI, you’re right- like everything else, family Christmas traditions SUCK.

You know what else sucks? This company.

I was a real Christmas tree guy growing up. My wife's family were Western KY fake tree heathens. She convinced me to do the same.

Then last year I went and got a real one for some reason. My wife is the leader of the "real tree" brigade. She's already begging me to go out and get one. Easy honey - don't want to rush that. Can't have it dying before New Year's.
 
My dad got legitimately depressed when his doctor told him a real tree was a major asthma trigger. My mom has done some pretty tremendous things to decorate the fakes, but I feel bad knowing he misses the real deal. For most of my childhood we travelled over the holidays, so we seldom did a tree. Poor guy only got about a decade's worth of real tree as an adult. :(

Growing up, my grandma had a fake tree that was green, but wasn't in the same universe as the "nice" fakes now that can pass for real trees. She had it decorated the same way every year, because after Christmas, my grandpa would throw a cover on it and carry the whole thing to the basement, ornaments and all. It had those giant 1970s bulbs that reached lava temperatures and buzz a little when you geot close enough and, my all time favorite, BUBBLE LIGHTS. The whole thing perpetually had the eau de basement aroma, but it was the "homey" kind of dusty smell, not the nasty moldy kind. I loved that thing. I was in college when my family stopped doing the biggest Christmas Eve gathering at her house and she got rid of all of it. I still miss those bubble lights.

Now that I've said all that, I am not in the Christmas spirit until December 1. Bah, humbug, and happy turkey day.
 
Wisconsin does not have the death penalty nor allow courts to hold defendants without bond. This is after Dahmer.
So after they arrest and prosecute one of the most prolific serial killer/cannibal/psychos in history, Wisconsin decided to make it easier for suspects to get bond?

Makes me hate 2015/Kaminsky/Wisconsin even more.

If you think the idea of dragging kiddos to a Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade is a good one… you’re wrong. Too packed and you don’t see anything. However, I do suggest to take them the night prior (tonight) to the Natural History Museum, where they park and test-fire up all the balloons all at once. You can see all of them in less than an hour and you don’t have to listen to shitty marching bands and annoying bagpipes. It’s kinda dope, actually.

baking: 3 pies, cheesecake… going to sisters house 5 houses down the street. Then, doing my Turkey on Friday. (Brine, Cajun Butter inject, smoke).

Rye lineup for me tonight & tomorrow:
  • Midwinters
  • Old Carter 9
  • DH
  • HillRock Pick
We can’t lose to Cards… can’t. Something tells me we unload 5&6 wrinkles to offensive game plan. No way we see Will tweeting Ls down without an abundance of confidence.

Peace.

Other than Wayne, who’s the most likely poster to have a non traditional colored fake tree?

I’d be willing to bet he’s got a tacky ass white or red one.
 
Live trees are nice and all, but driving over to a parking lot and getting one is no better than a fake tree. We used to hike back on the farm with an axe and cut down a cedar tree every year. Talk about smelling nice 🙂

Anyone name chet can suck on my ass.

I keep looking at the ul game and seeing us with by 2 scores, then I see Vegas has us as the underdog. Guessing missing something because I just don't get it 🤷

Haven't been deer hunting once so far this season. Been too busy on this remodel and dealing with a head cold. Did end a possums life the other day that was tearing up bags in the feed room.

Excited about Christmas season. A 5 year old and a 1 year old make it pretty cool.

Forgot it, folks. Since I’m not cutting down my own tree out at my buddy’s farm in Goshen I’m going to settle for fake one from Home Goods.

Besides, a real, authentic Fraser Fir standing 8 feet tall in my living room draped with sharp looking ornaments and white lights doesn’t look any better than a cheap looking plastic piece of pre lit shit anyways.

Wow....your pathetic attitude towards life just bottomed out, if that was possible.
 
My brother with the signal message this morning telling me to pull most of my money out of the stock market for a while. Anyone else hearing the fear mongers? A lot of things definitely need to be corrected for sure.
