* Today is Bobby Bonilla Day, where he receives his annual $1 million check from the Mets, and uneducated boobs all over America act like investing money at an 8% rate of return is some sort of magic trick.

* <-- Weak AF. Even when I was lifting regularly (10-15 years ago), I probably maxed out around 215 on the bench. Just never understood the point of lifting really heavy things.

* My last marathon was a 3:33. Last half 1:36. Last 10k 42:00. Quite certain legalbeagle is faster, although I'd love a good GYERO long distance footrace.

* For those of you who don't think the world coming to an end in a fiery, race-fueled pandemic is a good thing....




“It was like the storming of the Bastille, the gate came down and a large crowd of angry, aggressive people poured through,” Mark McCloskey said. “I was terrified that we’d be murdered within seconds. Our house would be burned down, our pets would be killed.”

"A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear for our lives," Mark McCloskey said, and shared photos of the destroyed gate.

Despite his claims, video circulating on social media shows protesters opening and walking through the unbroken gate. It is unclear when it was actually damaged or who destroyed it.


Just sitting here being normal and watched the global collapse. [laughing]

Analysis: "I TOUCHING CRUSHED IT TODAY, ABSOLUTELY SMOKED ONE EASILY WELL OVER 300 YARDS VERIFIED BY EVERYONE AND WE ALL CELEBRATED AND POPPED BOTTLES OF DOM WITH MY SAMURAI SWORD I WAS ABSOLUTELY MASHING TODAY AND EVERYONE LOVES ME AND MY LENGTH AND ALSO MY GIRTH HAHAH LOLOLOL"

* Homecoming, Season 2. Dope. Janelle Monae is one sexy *** lesbian a-a.

* Just realized something --> how are college basketball officials going to act without a raucous student section to preen and show off to when enthusiastically, dramatically making a charge call this season??

Yet another highlight of the global collapse of the economy during a pandemic. IMHO.

There is a 0% chance of any sort of amateur athletic season in this country for the 2020 calendar year. Never was a chance.

There is a 1% chance any professional season even starts in the 2020 calendar year.

There is a 100% chance that any sport lucky enough to get off the ground will end their season abruptly.

Football, basketball, and baseball are done for a while. Golf, UFC, boxing, horse racing and soccer are the only ones that seem to have it figured out. I predict the PGA will shut it down at some point though.

If a positive COVID test continues to carry the same negative tone like it’s a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, this is where we are.

You know, 2008 was pretty ******, about as ****** as it gets. Markets literally tanking. Financing drying up like the Sahara. 2020 is even shittier. Markets tanking. Bubonic plague. Kids can’t be kids.

It’s amazing that both years were during a Presidential Election cycle, coming off an unpopular Republican Presidency.*

* Or not.

First positive in our friend bubble. Wife and I were whining about sinuses yesterday. My boss asked me if I had a fever and come to find out, we don't even have a f'ing thermometer in the house.

And since I've been lifting the last few months, I have a f'ing hernia now.

Get the test. You'll be fine.

There would be a much, much better chance of college sports taking place this year if the hysterical teenage girls who make up the sports media in this country didn't treat every single positive result -- 99% of which are asymptomatic -- like Pearl Harbor.

Closer to 50% asymptotic with another 20 or so feeling just mild symptoms. 99.77% chance of making it(all ages) and even higher if you're catlanta's age.

If the bet is 300+ yards over 18 holes, give me Doc for the bet. I mean there will be 1 or 2 holes that are downhill and during the summer with fairways being hard, he can do it. Carry it 250-260, the rest will take care of itself.

360 at a driving range hitting a bucket of balls - Probably Fields. Driving ranges are flat and will not get much roll. Especially trying to crank it 360, where ball flight is not in his favor.

Really to hit 300, all you need is a low flight, solid contact, and carry 250ish, the rest COULD come on a down hill roll. Very doable. Hell at Shady Hollow fathers day, i got one out there 250-260. And I usually hit in the 220 range. My low ball flight was perfect for the steep down hill fairway. I am talking 100 yards down hill.

One mandatory rule should be it must be filmed and posted in GYERo for all to see. Bets can be paid how ever the people betting agree to. SO the 300 over 18 holes, I will back that.

Hey, Doc. It's Willy with a Y. i before e except after Will. Knock off the "Willie" crap.

I think Cricket nailed the original boast... 18 holes, Doc has to keep one 300 yard drive in bounds. A driving range would better for our viewing entertainment, but doing it on an actual course is what makes it difficult.

Make it happen, gents. Film it with your phone and post it on here later. Anth, no adding stipulations and conditions as you go.

Why would you need to know that?? And fwiw I’m really more of a high rep/low weight, work on flexibility type of guy these days anyway

Body weight to lift weight ratio. I typically come in at around 160. On a good day I could probably get 275-280. If I was a 250 pounder, that wouldn't be near as much of an accomplishment.

@WayneDougan what's the firework situation in the hood? Frowned upon? We (Neighbors and a South Villager) are going in on some very disruptive explosives. It will be fun to read the NextDoor comments Sunday morning.

Plans started a few weeks ago with me and a Romanian throwing around ideas for the 4th. We joked (though so) about driving up the dirt mound and blowing some **** up. FF to last Saturday at 502 and it comes up again. The only difference this time is the dirt mound wasn't mentioned.

New plan, brisket at my house, and fire them off behind my house where it isn't developed. All are welcome to stop by.

*I hate playing golf for about 5 holes. Once the beer starts setting in, I start playing better and relax. I've lost so much club head speed over the last 5 years it's ridiculous. Or, I'm coming at the ball at a different angle or something. Having said that, I'd like to play with y'all mofos soon.

I tell you how the fireworks situation is in my hood, Going touching strong. A bunch of GD little whippersnappers every night since about June 25th have been lighting them off non stop from about 8 to 11 pm. I was outside in my backyard taking a piss Sunday night when one loud cake went off no more than 25 yards from my house. I yelled "i hope one of you blow your GD hand off." My dogs is constantly shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds and will not eat. I gave him doggie valiums to no avail. Not the old coming out in me, but wish they would make a ordinance, only July 1st-4th. I love a good firework show, but buying Little Johnny fireworks everyday to keep him out of your hair is BS.

In my drunken state, i really did want one of them to blow their hand off, but have since backed off that stance. until tonight of course.
