There’s not a company out there more deserving of all of our admiration than YETI. I just got an ad from then selling a $200 blanket and a $50 dog bowl. Nevermind the coolers and cups we all know and love, but the sheer audacity and balls to go out there and sell that stuff and for it to work is incredible. Hats off to YETI.

I think the boldest move on their part is the $40 bucket. A bucket.... for 40 bucks. [roll]
* If you want to get rich, find an everyday, simple household item, make a ridiculously expensive version of it, then put a boatload of $$ into marketing. Profit.
Just need to look around the homestead and find a culprit that hasn't been attempted before.
- shoestrings?
- paper towel holders?
- nail clippers?
* <-- walked into the house two days ago to dually triggered carbon monoxide detectors. Called 9-1-1-, because marcus. Fire truck shows up with 3 dudes in minutes, and their detector shows no activity. In and out in no time at all.
The aggressiveness of a CO2 alarm chirping makes the smoke detector looks like child's play.
* FYI: the $400 bladeless Dyson fan laughs at all things Yeti.

The most aggressive "alarm" is when you don't take your credit card out of the chip reader fast enough at a store. Pipe down, machine. Good grief.
~One positive from CV19 is the casual gym attendee is staying home, at least at mine. Attendance, even at a reduced capacity, is way down.
~Long time friend from HS father passed last week...funeral today, and my friend tested positive yesterday. He is driving to the cemetary alone and is going to watch from a distance. Sucks.
~Squeezed in my dad's big 80th party under the before Andy's whip was cracked. What a great time he had. Side note...the son (my age...56) of one of my dad's long time co-workers was there w/ his wife....he married her when he was 32 and she was 52 and smoke. 24 yrs later still together but father time is undefeated.
~Grand Padre...are dealerships making any special CV19 deals right now or are they sticking to their guns?
~Cops need free will to pop caps on these thugs.
~Pti can be a really normal guy when he wants to.

I'm an attorney part time, so I speak from a position of knowledge on this.
If someone is spray painting a building, it is completely legal for a police officer to shoot and kill them.

Watching some of these NBA scrimmages. Actually not as bad as I thought it'd be sans crowd. So far baseball really seems to be lacking the most without people in the stands, but I think football will be the most awkward sport with zero/limited attendance (fingers crossed we actually find out).
MMA is awesome without a crowd. Hearing the thud when those dudes land kicks and punches shows how freaking violent the sport really is. I know most of the gyero contingent thinks it's trashy, but I love watching people beat each other up.

It was sarcasm aimed at the police and their reckless gun use during protest. So you are saying it is ok ? Or do not think the violence against PEACEFUL protest needs to be called out ? OH, I forgot, GFY right back at you.
I think I speak for the whole Catpaw when I cordially invite you to spray paint a building while holding one of those cardboard signs. Please. Do it now.
Been a long day for Ole Catsfanbgky, so not really in the mood for you. Giving out GFY's like they are Halloween candy, here is you one GFY. I am only speaking for myself though, I am not a little *****, I need no one to speak for me. Hell you earned it, kind of in a generous mood, here is a second, GFY.

You forgot Adam Williams....

Not sure what's the funnier moment looking back at the Tubby era coming down the stretch.
The Adam Williams Recruitment, Brandan Wright being a UK lock forever, or....
Kentucky was listed as one of Durant's early favorites, but has appeared to slip off the pace since the high school season ended.
"I'm not sure if it's any one thing, but they do seem to have slipped," Smith said. "Having Tubby in here (Thursday) may have helped. Kevin may have gotten the impression they weren't recruiting him hard enough or that he wasn't a priority. A lot of schools have come in and told him he's their main guy, their No. 1 priority.

Josh Carrier could have been on the Josh Childress Stanford squad. He scored 50 on a overmatched Cumberland County panther squad with a younger TB in attendance.
Those were the glory years for the 4th region. Blevins Stockton Carrier all within a few years of each other. @Strokin_Bandit who are you giving the nod to of those three?
edit: Tony larger than life Key was in there somewhere too for Russellville

Hood was top 50 coming out of high school. I consider that rated. Carrier also had an offer from UCLA so he was somewhat rated. Both sucked. Thus they're being overrated. At least all the honks you all are dissing on contributed. That's enough for me.
1989-1990: the golden age of Cincinnati sports AND music. Just bangers all around.
Very efficient to record the vocals in the same bathroom stall they were doing their coke in
I’ll give the nod to Stockton - only because he was on staff the last 5 years! Couldn’t guard him in a phone booth.
Blevins was a solid high school player and was so good at such a young age; coming right off the heels of the Damon Bailey era at IU, I think the local folks were hoping he’d be “our” Damon.
Carrier was a tall shooter with what I felt was limited athleticism for D1. But he was such an effortless shooter and so long. I thought he could be a great spot up guy. I think folks were hoping he’d measure up to Rex, but they weren’t even in the same ballpark skill set-wise.
Don’t forget Lathram and Fishback at Greenwood. Lots of good dudes coming through the 4th region during the late 90s-early aughts.
Most talented team was that 2000 Russellville team. Their starting 5 vs. Warren Central’s 2004 State Champ squad would have been something to see.
I was 23, in my first year of helping coach a team, and I was loose in Lexington on a Friday night. We were staying at the Campbell House and I rolled back into my room at 3:30 am. Coach Todd was sitting on the corner of my bed shooting the **** with another aisstant I was sharing the room with. He may have been burning a heater, but my memory isn’t that clear. Tony Key was out in the hall with a few females around him. They would tip off in about 6 hours and lose to a lesser talented Etown squad. And that’s how the legend of Antwain Barbour was born.

I remember seeing Blevins get invited out to scrimmage with Tony Delk, Walter McCarty, Anthony Epps and Co. at Rick Pitino basketball camp when he was a rising 9th grader. I’m not saying his career was a disappointment, but he was a bad *** at that camp and so I expected more out of him.
Then again, when I met him when he was a freshman at UK I thought to myself that he didn’t seem to look any bigger than he did 4 years before that.
So put me down for overrating Blevins more than anybody else on the list.

I caught Brandon a couple times in the Tville men’s league and that dude came in looking like he hadn’t touched a ball in years. Walked the ball up and down the court and would just shoot from wherever.
I watched Patrick Hamilton from here go toe to toe with him for the majority of the *** whipping Glasgow put on us back then. Also remember the guy from Adair county that went to play ball for UT Xhattanooga Kevin birdgewater. This area was booming then
Saw that game in person. He had a rebound slam that looked like he cleared the backboard going up.
On another, but related, note, still seething over the foul called on him against Marquette. Genuinely believe (however wrong I may be) that we were going to win that game until they took the wind out of our sails with that call.
