OT: Insignificant Things Open Thread (NO POLITICS)
**NO POLITICS**
Seeing as there are no significant news stories unfolding tonight, I wondered if we could get a POS bang together about what you are doing to bide the time.
I, for one, haven't turned on the TV or browsed the internet at all, assuming that I would be disappointed by the fact that nothing is happening tonight. I may play some Sudoku in a bit, I'll keep you updated.
What menial things are everyone else doing on such a run of the mill November evening?
**NO POLITICS**
Seriously, NO POLITICS! One month Bolivia trip for any mentions timestamped after 10:31 EST. [zl]

Wait you're awake and watching, "How it's Made"? That was my go to background noise while taking naps in my dorm.

I've been on the wrong side of a couple of "WTF" posts from you, but I do have to say I look forward to your insights more than almost any other poster here.
Also, I can't disagree with your choice in movies.

Severely underrated movie. :)

I loved the Youtube videos and saw them when they came to Ann Arbor, but hadn't seen the show at all. It's pretty great.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
I saw them when they came to Detriot a few years. It was the most fun I have ever had a concert. Oh such wonderful banter! The first season of their TV show is one of the funniest things ever produced.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? This is one of the most important days of the year, one that will not only have a great effect on the following months, but the rest of our lives!
I can't believe you would snub the Toledo vs Ball State game like that, shame on you.

So thankful for this blog today! Thank you mgoblog, for being a safe haven from politics because social media sites are the absolute worst today.

Raiding my 8 year old's candy stash (he got over 9 pounds of candy on Sunday-trick or treat got weather delayed) while on Mgoblog. TV is on in the background....news or something.....
The GOOD news for me is I live in Ohio and finally the damn ads have ended (both sides). And I'm not kidding when I say that tonight, at 7:20pm (10 minutes to polls closing) there was a Presidential ad on the radio. Battleground states like ours get freaking slammed with ads morning, news and night. About something......
November 6th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
Raiding your 8 year old's stash. Funny. And what does Mrs. Mgrowold say about Halloween candy? 9 pounds? Wow!

I should be doing my law readings, but I just can't do it. I'm fixated on the silver fox.

Sadly, I have to be keeping an eye on the stuff everyone is joking about not seeing: internet, TV, I'm probably supposed to keep track of telegraph and tin-cup telephones as well, per the wishes of my professors (tough to avoid as a public policy student). However, none of them said anything to discourage heavy drinking whilst watching non-Toledo play non-Ball State, so I'm having a better time than I would have thought.
The girlfriend was taunting me saying this fifteen hours of watching was payback for her bigger load as an engineer-to-be until she came home and found a twelve pack and bottle of wine in the fridge. That was worth a pretty good laugh, at least I thought so.

I have MACtion on the TV and I am playing Civilization V on the laptop as the Germans. Yes, in this particular simulation, I plan to win the Franco-Prussian War. I am sipping Woodchuck Granny Smith hard cider too, and by sipping, I mean about six bottles in.

At work admitting patients...kids don't stop getting sick just cause the MAC is on.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
Watching a contest between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.
On a related note, what was the MAC thinking scheduling a game on election night? Tuesday is a weird day to play a college football game to begin with; of all Tuesdays, they pick election day?
FACEPALM.

Working on an accounting crib sheet and watching the most important red vs. blue battle in Ohio. Ball State vs. Toledo.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
Is that the gimmick? They can't have just neglected to consider the fact that today is election day when they scheduled the game.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
I love watching the Toledo vs Ball State game every 4 years. I fell asleep on the couch watching it in 2000 and have done the same thing each time this game has come around since.

Hunting is a far more humane way of attaining meat than shopping in your local grocery store.
