The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Front page photo of the Los Angeles Times depicts snow skiers zipping down the slope of Squaw Valley, in the foreground the guy is bare chested wearing shorts, (knot boxers if you ask Gary), and in the background a lady sporting a bikini. Meanwhile, we lowlanders suffer in another 91F day.

I am thoroughly enjoying this weather. I love the heat. I could open all the windows, but the wife likes her AC. I don't blame her, though. Especially since she's pregnant.

On a side note:

Do you ever have one of those times where someone asks you a question you know, but your mind goes blank, and then you flub the answer so badly that you feel like you're going down in flames? Well, that was me five minutes ago.

Such a horror at what happened to him over such a trivial infraction. I still can't believe we couldn't get him back sooner. They essentially murdered him.

The US does similar things, but the general population tends to turn a blind eye to it. One example: GTMO.

Good news and Bad news for the boys of summer. The Bad: Gary's Titans are out leaving Omaha. Up by one over Florida State, Fullerton walked in two runs and lost the game in the seventh inning. The Good: Rookie Bellinger hit two home runs and Turner one homer to secure another win for Kershaw.

An interesting and arguably a good/bad point. It is easy to turn a blind eye to such matters in a representative democracy.

Internally, yeah ... everyday. But for the external consumption/communication, Gary is very good at BS-ing. So when others may fumble with an answer, Gary speaks with confidence and reassurance. By the time others realize his answer was wrong he is out of the room. (This also works particularly well with Scrabble.)

That's it! Say it with authority and confidence and no one will question your answer.

@waday - I hate when that happens! Of course the correct answer always comes along after you've made yourself feel like an idiot.

It's not that Wade didn't know the answer ... couldn't spit it out in a logical sequence ... hence the fumbling. Most likely it was a technical matter and Wade, Gary is assuming, he didn't know how much background info he needed to provide in order for his answer to make sense/be correct. Technical answers are tough to get out off-the-cuff with a clear and incomplex speech.

Congrats!

Thank you! Did you see the picture I posted in this thread? I might have posted it when you were on vacation?

This was the exact situation. It was regarding sensible heat transfer vs. latent heat transfer—trying to explain it easily to a fresh out of school engineer. It clearly went right over their head, so when I tried to make it easier to understand in the moment, it was pretty much me stammering with incomprehensible speech. Agree with @SquarePeg, as the perfect example came to me afterwards. Ugh.

Wade's pregnant? Congrats!! Best wishes to your wife (yes, keep her cool and comfortable!).

Raining here again, hosers. It's been a fabulously cool and wet spring. It could easily be in the mid-90's and dry as a bone by now.

Edit: if you told us already, I don't remember. Dude, it happens. So repeat congrats, and maybe this time it'll stick!

Thank you!

The wife wanted a baby photo announcement, and I wanted to use Converse. On the final announcement photo, I've slapped on a transparent box at the bottom, added "Baby [Last Name]", and "Coming November 2017".

Did you have a dairy or simulated dairy product in your coffee?
