* Why is it that the rest of you have keyboards that are wack AF? Keys are too tall, they stick, they're shifted over one letter so I get all messed up, the keys make a weird sound.
My regular, everyday computer is great. All the others are terrible.
* The term "disinformation" is my new trigger. Holy effing moly what a terrible word to introduce into everyday American speech. Ugh.
* Cincinnati Reds takes....
- Andrew Abbott has thrown two games in Chattanooga = 4.2 innings, 0 hits, 11 Ks, and 6 innings, 2 hits, 14 Ks.
- Hunter Greene needs to take a little off the gas and work on actually getting hitters out.
- Our bullpen is a disaster, but with the ridiculous infield depth we have down on the farm, I see India and Steer in particular being very valuable trade commodities.
- Lodolo on the bump tonight against the best team in MLB. Must see tv.

I challenge you to a game of horseshoes. A game of horseshooooooes.
* Two years ago, I met a dude who signed up for my 50-mile ultramarathon under the name "Phuck Cancer." Turns out he's a stage 4 survivor. Started a foundation. And this weekend the lass and I (mostly her) put on a 5k to raise money for his 501c3. Total ended up being about $25,000.
- live band
- food truck
- 4 other food vendors
- tons of beer
Registration numbers were awesome and exceeded expectations. It was great. Lots of very emotional moments. Very proud of all her hard work, and in year 1 has already become a very successful event. It will be twice as big in 2024.

Phil Phest 5k
We're (she is) also in the process of taking over/acquiring a bunch of additional events beginning in 2024, and should be the biggest local producer in our area by then. Hockey stick growth, if you will.
* The Bud Light "cancel" is next level stupid, and the overwhelming majority of these idiots will just switch to another InBev product, or a different beer that's even more focused on marketing to the LGBTQ community. All because they sent one can to one person. K.
(note: I also reserve the right to still think Kid Rock's antics were hysterical, because, I mean, it's Kid Rock)
Also, if anyone thinks Bud Light is going anywhere, you may want to take a good hard look at the strength of their distribution model. I've spoken at length with several people in the business, and trying to even get any other product on the shelves is a huge battle. There's like 3 brands that basically control 90% of the industry.
* The charge needs to be eradicated from the college game, and the term "secondary defender" is a crock of s***. 99% of charge calls involved the "defender" (/rolleyes) completely giving up all hope of playing defense, and simply throwing his body in the way so he can pretend to be knocked down. How in TF can nobody in charge of the college game care about this?

I ain't heard on good song since the day Keith Whitley died....
* Killa having his birthday in the Superdome again this year? Just want to mark it on the calendar.
* Who's up for a Redlegs roadie this summer? July, preferably.
* The greatest marathoner ever (Eliud Kipchoge) was unseated yesterday at the Boston Marathon. Hadn't lost a race in 5 years, and most of those were done in completely dominating fashion. What an amazing run, no pun intended.
* I don't know what's taking Oscar so long to make an announcement, but it's annoying AF. Guess he's just hitting up all the usual suspects begging for a few million to stick around another season? Gotta think that well is dry, but I'll defer to tgh and HUBER for their expertise.
* Turns out that Zelensky, great stand up comedian-turned war hero that he is ("Zelensky is a badass") has been stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from US taxpayers. Just remember, this war is about nothing more than preserving democracy, and he cares deeply about defending his proud homeland. Uh huh.
* Miley Cyrus has gotten REALLY hot all of a sudden. Glad she's grown up and dropped the whole teen angst/shock drama act. Big, big fan.
* Any of you degenerates have big money on the Jiangsu Dragons last night?
