- First live arm tourney for my girl this weekend. She’s still 8u eligible until after next season but we’re trying to keep a group of girls together so she moving up to 10u with the group.

one of the older girls hit her in the shin in her first ab in practice. Took a lot to convince an 8 year old girl that getting hit isn’t the end of the world and actually helps the team.

- Nancy Pelosi is a very talented stock trader. The 2017 Astros of stock trading one might say.

which is more likely to result in a positive. A big league hitter knowing which pitch they’re about to see or a politician knowing which companies are getting big government contracts?

-speaking of stonks did any of you winners get in on coinbase this morning?

- purchased matchbox 20 tickets for Bridgestone in 2019 for a concert in 2020. Hoping I’ll see them before they or I die

- First trip to Ft Walton Beach. Seaweed central apparently. Didn’t bother the kids but kept me out of the water. Crab island was dope

-"10" is an important album. They're far from my top 50, and over-rated imo...but saying they suck is goofy.

-put me on the dove hunt invite list, please. The Beretta silver pigeon 20ga hasn't been used in a bit...and dive is delicious.

- I unapologetically love Korn. Though their hey-day was late 90s, early 00s, their best album (The Serenity of Suffering) is from 2016. There are obviously some real stinkers in the catalog, which is to be expected for a band that's been putting out new stuff since 1994; but on the whole, they were easily the kings of the "nu-metal" sound.

- 10 is aces, but I've admittedly never really gotten into the rest of Pearl Jam's catalog. Agree with beagle about AIC being #1. Heroin is a godawful drug, but boy did it make Layne Staley sound incredible (I mean, til he died, but ya know).

- I don't recall it, but looking at the trajectory of Trent Reznor, who would have expected the guy behind NIN to become an excellent soundtrack writer??? He's one of the few of that era I can think of who emerged from crippling addiction to continue making excellent music and putting on incredible shows. Compare that to Marilyn Manson and lol.

- I imagine some of you ex-wrestlers did water cuts to make weight back in the day. I've done water cuts before but the last day with practically no fluids, no carbs, no salt and intentional sweating is awful every time. I am an idiot for choosing to do this.

- Nothing has been as scary in my life as getting a text from my mom that she took my dad to the ER because he thought he was having a heart attack. Three days and two nights in the hospital, a zillion EKGs, a couple stress tests and a cardiac cath later, he's cleared and (thank God) didn't have a stroke/heart attack after all. But woof, I've never felt a pit in my stomach like that, made 1000x worse because I'm 500 miles away. The feeling of relief was pretty damn overwhelming.

- Hooray for summer basketball, a pox on the jabronis who design our unis. WTF?

STP not getting enough mentions.

- There is an app that tracks stock purchases of Pelosi’s husband so you can get in on the fun also - just a month or two later.

- Nancy P might have been a notch in the belt of JFK. She’s been around DC that long.

  • Mad Season for apex of Seattle grunge.

  • swapping to a new iPhone is a ******* nightmare. Password bingo.

  • Bring back the icicle uniforms for all I care, as long as we destroy teams by 30+ ppg.

  • Making Clams Casino, Half Shells, Lasagnas for the crew down the shore… Labor of love. Turns out my niece is getting surprise proposal at my shore house party… it will get lit.

  • 5am workouts = no excuses. 1 month in, so far, so good. only off Sundays.💪🏻

  • Anyone hate their job? 🖐🏻

  • my Yanks are in freefall. They blow.

  • the Stoops/Axl juxtaposition is perfect.

  • Trent Reznor May surprise, but Mark Mothersbough from DEVO is the quintessential 80’s band guy gone prolific soundtrack composer.

Be sure to disorient the doves first, Anth!

The highlights of the Woodstock series were:
-The lead singer from The Offspring hitting cardboard cutouts of N*Sync with a bat
-A gal openly discussing her severe case of trench mouth- resulting from drinking feces water
-Multiple meatheads trying to open an ATM with a stick
-Fred Durst immediately coming off stage where he witnessed crowd surfing young women getting molested and saying "You can't blame me for that"
-Ananda Lewis definitely still got it. Had totally forgotten about her.
-Someone, very matter-of-factly driving a stolen van into a Rave
-A guy who resembled Beavis providing commentary throughout

I recently watched a separate doc on that weekend (HBO i think) which was much more detailed in the amount of rape, OD'ing, mosh pit deaths, etc... and i'm pretty sure nobody was ever held accountable for anything. A truly lawless weekend.

I specifically remember working second shift at the Gap warehouse in industrial Erlanger that summer with a mix of other college kids, factory lifers and some down-on-their-luck middle age guys, and a few of my buddies there discussing making the trip. They didn’t.

What a weird, depressing job that was. At the time, seemed like a decent summer gig at $10/hour and a significant Gap/BR discount. Wish I would have made better choices.

While we’re on the topic of 90’s alt rock we don’t like, I’ve always thought Nirvana was low key trash. Not one time in my life have I ever thought to myself “Nirvana really would hit the spot”.

They’re a couple of years old now but Post Malones country covers absolutely smack. Hopefully he does an entire country cover album.

that’s right, I like post Malone covering Brad paisley and dislike nirvana. Big whoop wanna fight about it???

gonzaga/Kentucky home(~) & home feels like a throwback 90’s era cbb series. I know we give Cal a lot of **** for not doing many home/homes but it’s a pattern all over the sport. Hopefully this starts a trend.

I bought a 50 pack of the plain blue masks in February 2020 at the start of the pandemic, never used a cloth mask.

Just grabbed the last one to use while visiting my grandmother.

Anyone that sings/mumbles out of the side of their mouth like a weirdo, basically
Fair enough.

No surprise the same list that likes yacht rock is the ones that dislike mumble rock.

But please, when it comes to rock, let’s not knock the use of heroin as something to put down a band. It’s a pretty common trait amongst most of the good to great bands.
