NFL Off-Season Thread 4 - The Bears Still Suck

Got into this big discussion with a guy at work. Let's say we are planning the first manned mission to Mars and you have a chance to go. You know for sure that you cannot return and you will live for 6 months upon arrival. You can't take anyone else with you. Would you do it? I said no, the guy I work with said yes.

There was a GAF thread on that once.
 
I would say yes in a heartbeat. Why wouldn't you?
Basically because of my ties to Earth. I wouldn't want to leave my wife and child. I realize that our time here is short but still, it seems like a selfish decision to me if you have those constraints. Plus, I like the possibility of sticking around Earth for another 50 years or so.

No because I'd miss the football season!! 8-)

Why the hell would you say no? 6 months to be a world wide super hero and get to be that dude in space?

I'd give up everything I have for the chance and it ain't even a competition.

No. Why did your co-worker say yes?
 
Why the hell would you choose to die? Sounds like an easy decision for me. Now if you say there's a good chance you make it back alive then maybe that becomes a hard decision.

Lol at the notion of world wide super hero... no one gonna give two fucks beside the super nerds.

We all die. I can see the allure of choosing that way to go.
 
No. Why did your co-worker say yes?
He says he'd do it in a heartbeat. He has two young kids and he's married but he says it would be cooler for the kids to have a dad who was the first one on Mars than a normal dad. Basically he just wants to be the first guy on Mars and to experience what no other human has.

I disagree with the dad point. If your dad is Michael Jordan it's cool that he's famous and all but if he is never there for you I think you'd get over the fame part pretty quickly. No kid wants their dad to leave them for any reason, no matter how "cool" it is. Right?

The question should say "at least 6 months" to make it better.

Also, I think we have a good avatar for Gata for his next bet!

I mean, does MJ mail some checks home? Cause I could listen to Linkin Park on some really nice headphones and shit.
 
At that time I'll be in Vegas.. Start off the night with a bottle of goose..

But will not enjoy the 100+° temp

Blame it on the goose, got you feelin loose,
Blame it on the patron, got you in the zone
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
 
Is it 5 o'clock yet?
I have been up since 5. Went to sleep at midnight (excited after spurs win and internet meltdown that followed). Working until 5pm and then I have to take my kids to a birthday party that is a 40 minute drive.

You lazy degenerates need to get jobs and stop living off of me and eznarks handouts.

I've never been to a birthday party that was 40 minutes away

tell your kids catch a cab or tough shit!
 
With coffee I have survived for long periods sleeping less than 3 hours a day (twins with no help biiiiiitch).

Without the aid of coffee I need at least 6 hours.
 
Going to be in Seattle next week. Any places I have to visit or places to eat? I'll be going to Mount Rainier for 2 days.

1) Paseo
2) Hot dog with cream cheese
3) Beer

Boom. Seattle trip successful.

What loadouts are you guys using in MK8?

Rolling with Morton, Steel Driver, Monster Tires, and the Flower Glider, though I haven't unlocked everything yet.

Cars weren't around in Wisconsin when you were a kid?

It's one of my wife's friends parties. I was invited to some kind of power go karting that is supposedly awesome and dangerous but I took one for the team.

I think we are doing it next weekend.

I hope it lives up to the hype. The guy setting it up can sometimes hype us up but eventually disappoint. Kind of like KASs job if anyone listened to him.
