Century, buckethead had been popping off on Joey, giving him grief for driving a CPO Kia, etc. Eventually Joey came back with a ~1,000 word absolute hit piece detailing why bucket is the worst person on the face of the planet. Highlights included his failed teaching career and then going to work for his father in law at his disaster cleanup company (it was a knockoff Servpro or something). Wish I could remember more detail, but the upshot was bucket never showed his face in here again. It was just brutal.
He gave me grief about having a Queen sized bed and not being able to afford a bigger house (after he looked it up).
buckethead1978: Queen sized bed???
Joey Rupption:
We went over this the last time you criticized my modestly-sized 1920’s home and you always take the bait. So here’s a refresher: You chose a women’s profession. Failed as a provider for your family. And your father-in-law had to step in and make sure his daughter and grandkids were provided for by setting you up with an assumedly inflated salary to manage the cleaning of human shit and death for a living.
If your FIL lurks GYERO and wants to criticize my home, income, on track college funds, zero debt, and furniture choices: Please help him login and I’ll take it in good humor.
Otherwise, you have no standing to criticize any man, let alone a GYERO man.
Stick to contemplating what it means to not be the man of the house in your own home and keep my furniture choices out of your posts. TIA
I always assumed bucket came back as the “AIChatGTP…” poster.
I used to catch up on GYERO during the week at lunch at my deli as a habit. But now, I’m WFH most days and otherwise taking quick lunches and clocking out at 4pm to chauffeur my kids around to a smorgasbord of sixteen (16) different weekday practice this Spring. [ Oldest Soccer, Middle Soccer, Youngest Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Track, Dance. ] We are also squeezing in some hitting lessons and golf.
My big fun life update is as follows:
Acting as a responsible father of three, I got back into indoor soccer last year to mixed results. By September, I was back in shape and flying around.
At my last game, I won the ball at the halfline, dribbled a guy, bridged passed a guy (off the wall), and scored a rocket from elbow extended, far post upper 90. As I landed on the shooting leg an oaf tried to block it (late), fell into my leg, and exploded my ACL.
In October, I had knee surgery for an ACLr and three meniscal implants (repairs related to an MCL tear 16 years ago). They used my quad tendon for the ACL, but cutting it made my kneecap fall off to the side (even more) and I already had kneecap cartilage problems before all of this.
So I’ve been working out / sprinting /rehabbing at 6am everyday to get back to form since early February and am gassed by 10:00pm.
My ACL is back, but I think the meniscal and kneecap stuff will take another 18 months at least.
- CPO KIA just turned over 100k mi, btw. And it’s only on its 2nd (and a half) new engine!
