OT: Friday Open Thread

Submitted by JeepinBen on

It's that time of week again and frankly Profit is slacking because he's working and not on here slacking.

What's going on for the weekend? Any crazy July 4th plans in the works? USA USA USA!

I'm off to a wedding this weekend that should be a good time, finishing out the clock here before hitting the road, off Wednesday - Sunday next week and looking forward to it.

Unfortunately I forgot to hit "Start" on my PCR run last night, so my sample went to shit overnight costing my lab a few thousand...  Got a good talking to from my PI.  After I rectify the situation I'll leave here around 9. Tonight I'm getting white-boy-wasted for a friend's 21st. 

Heading to Indianapolis for the 4th, first time since Christmas. USA!

That the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes marriage is over. I had such high hopes for those kids. Why, WHY, WHYYYYY?!?!?!?

Sniff...what happened?

Enjoying this nice summer day being young and not yet having to worry about the real world. Not yet, anyway. Going to go out this evening with some friends and some fireworks and engage in random hoodrat activities. You're only young once, right?

If I ever get the balls (?) to propose to infamous boy I love from previous threads, y'all would have my back, right? MGoWedding, anyone?

He doesn't read the board, although a couple weeks ago when my name was in a thread title some folks tweeted it and he was like, "OMG MGOJEN IS FAMOUS!" and I'm prettttty sure he read the threads I had posted in.  I may or may not have been outted. I suppose there are worse things. :) 


So you're gonna lobby--I mean, ask him for me, right? =)

...will you take MGoJen's MGoHand in MGoMarriage? Trust me, I can speak for her. I have lots of MGoPoints. We don't want her to ask, because she might then have balls. And we like her with the girlie bits. And you really don't want that kind of surprise on your MGoHoneymoon. You may create a profile here to answer, or, I guess, contact Jen with your answer. But what fun would that be? I expect an invitation to the wedding.

MGoPoints, remember? Though when this all started, I never imagined I'd be making an MGoProposal on here. To another dude. NTTAWWT. Since you're going back to school should have brought him to the HTTV party, so we could ask in person. Peer Pressure!

they are having a "buy one, get one for 99 cents sale". For $125 I got a surprising amount of goodies. I may have to light some tonight. Samuel Smith tells me I should do exactly that, via Nut Brown Ale

I can't start a new thread, but maybe someone can start one for me?  Or leave it on here, I don't have much power either way.  I was browsing Indiegogo and I saw this: http://www.indiegogo.com/JonahRuleMemorialFund?c=home

Basically a young man passed away leaving behind a wife and two very young kids.  He seems to be a pretty big Michigan fan though I think considering in pretty much all the pictures he's sporting a Maize and Blue block M on a hat.

I don't really know if he was a fan or graduate, but I know the power of MGoBlog.  It would be nice for the blog to help out a fellow Wolverine.

There's also a comment section, so if you do decide to donate, let them know you came from MGoBlog.

Got stuck home - the lake will have to wait until next week - but had a great night night playing catch with my son and playing with our puppy. Throw in some Oberon and some grilling and altogether not a bad evening.

I did about jack and a half today, but I DID save the company about $1000 on upcoming trade show costs and get complimented on my work by my boss. SOOOO.... should I do some work tomorrow to make up for it, or should I say "eff it" and start my fourth of July vacation? I'll be vacationing Saturday evening - Wednesday.

Tongiht, I'm about to pour myself a wee dram, play some Arkham City, and plan my trip to the release party tomorrow.
