    That said this hipster clown above with a horse fettish isn't fooling anyone.

    You have no idea how correct you are. The American team certainly didn't fool the nomads.

    A bunch of American amateurs in the Nomad Games’ kok-boru event is akin to Kyrgyzstan sending a team over to play football in the Super Bowl. 

    -  A Kyrgyzstani's observation per The Washington Post, September 14, 2016.

    The article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/09/14/first-ever-u-s-team-plays-rugby-on-horses-with-a-decapitated-goat-at-world-nomad-games/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.602f0ce76d95

    The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVKnYB8bf4I

    I would give a member of the American team credit for driving a Nomad.

    It's like he can see the bubble screen before he calls it...

    Think we've found our Quasimodo for the Surly production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's not like he has any lines to remember or anything ...

  3. Yes. There is betting on kok boru (decapitated goat polo). The problem is the places I found are overseas and blocked so you'd need an international proxy IP. And then there are issues with using a credit card on the internet overseas.

    Some of the bookies have already posted lines on the 2020 presidential elections. Trump is the front runner. Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison is definitely a dark horse.

    Whatever you do, don't bet on the USA. We suck at kok boru.

    An Indiana man accused of raping and killing his ex-girlfriend and eating parts of her dead body is now mentally competent to stand trial, a state psychiatrist said Thursday.

    Joseph Oberhansley, 35, of Jeffersonville has been committed at the Logansport State Hospital since October, when a judge ruled that he wasn’t competent to stand trial for the 2014 killing of girlfriend Tammy Jo Blanton.

    Prosecutors allege Oberhansley broke into the Jeffersonville home of Blanton in September 2014, and that he raped her, fatally stabbed her and ate parts of her body.

    “This matter has been going on for four years now, and it’s high time that the victim’s family saw justice done,” Clark County Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Mull said after the hearing.

    The letter from the psychiatrist filed with Clark County Circuit Court noted that Oberhansley’s competency has been restored since he was committed there last October to undergo competency restoration. In some of his early court appearances after his arrest, Obserhansley had outbursts in court and said his name was Zeus.

    Oberhansley’s attorneys requested in court Thursday to have a month to talk with him and form an opinion on his competency. During the hearing, Oberhansley spoke up, telling the judge he needed to fire his attorneys, according to the Courier Journal.

    “They’re trying to control my thoughts,” he said in court. “They’re trying to control my mind.”

    Judge Vicki Carmichael told him he needed to work with his attorneys, and scheduled another hearing on Sept. 21 to discuss the matter.

    Prosecutors have previously said they will seek the death penalty for Blanton’s killing. Before his arrest in 2015, Oberhansley was free on parole for a previous killing when he was a teenager.

    The following year, Parliament passed the Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965 by a 2-to-1 margin.  Every subsequent year until 1997, a bill was presented to re-establish the death penalty for the crime of murder, and it was defeated each time.  

     
    Which put Harry Allen out of work. Kind of an interesting guy. Wore a bow tie to honor the solemnity of his duties. Kept a notebook listing all of his executions. Names, dates, heights, weights and the necessary drops. The idea is to swiftly break the neck causing unconsciousness and rapid death without strangulation or decapitation (as in the case of US military hanging on January 15, 2007 of Barzan Mohamed who was decapitated due to miscalculations of his weight and too long a drop).  

    English justice was swift and so were the hangings. The convicted prisoner was assigned to a condemned cell. When the time arrived. a partition was removed. The adjoining room was the execution room. The prisoner was on the trapdoor with noose around neck and the door was sprung within seconds.

    For someone in The Chair Of Shame, she looks oddly at peace. Or maybe the police are so used to her it's an automatic. Hope she finds the help she needs.

    Over the past three years on Shaggy and Surly, this chick has aged twenty years. We're all adults. You don't want to see anything bad happen to anyone. Maybe she'll be incarcerated long enough to clean up and receive health care to turn her life around. At least she wasn't in the restraining chair this time so I suppose that's a step in the right direction.

    Had a friend who picked up a very young fawn standing over it's mother that had been hit and killed by a car. He brought it home and they raised it.  They named it "Stilts" and it could come in and out of the house as it pleased as well as spend time in a small field that they kept a couple of goats (the goats were not allowed in the house).  A couple of years later, Stilts was just as tame as a large dog.  One day they were in the house and heard a loud "Bang" of a gunshot outside at the road.  They got outside just in time to see a pickup truck driving away.  Stilts became someone's dinner.

    Knew a stripper named Bambi so this hits close to home for me.

    No buzkashi?  No mare milking?

    What kinds fake-ass Nomad Games are you running, chief?  HUH?  

    Didn't watch the video, did ya, pal?  Yes. There is mare milking. A non-competitive women's activity in the yurt village.

    Going off half-cocked as usual. Buzkashi (decapitated goat polo) is the Afghani word for kok-buru (picture after the burning man running).

    Hahaha. I work in Kazakhstan and these guys take this sort of shit very seriously. In March I was out there for the annual new year celebration, Nauryz. They had a best yurt contest and you could go from yurt to yurt and experience hospitality such as camels milk, horse sausage, fermented horse milk, and traditional music and dance. 

    Really it was quite fun. 


    That thing where they ski around and shoot rifles at targets in the Olympics?  Shoot at each other.  Mongolian up, bro.

  9. "The Central Asian Olympics." Opening ceremonies September 2, 2018, 8:00PM. Closing ceremonies September 8, 8:00PM. Kyrgyz Republic.
     

    This year there will be children's events.

    and synchronized dancing on horseback. 

    XJtfA8w8_o.jpg

    Also a fashion show and best yurt / tent contest. New this year is the World Nomad Cuisine so let's get cooking, girls!

    For us guys, looks pretty much like the same old same old. About seven different kinds of archery (four on horseback), about seven different kinds of wrestling (two on horseback), throwing wooden javelins at each other on horseback, horse racing, hound racing. 

    Then there are the more obscure sports:

    burkut saluu (hunting with eagles on horseback),

    xwBpiHXW_o.jpg

    setting a guy on fire and chasing him (I don't know the nomad word for this event),

    dERghfO8_o.jpg

    kok-boru (kind of like polo except with a decapitated goat carcass),

    manonfire.gif

    and oert jalymdagan chabandes (burning nomads on horseback - racers get their the fire extinguished in the order they cross the finish line.)

    They even put it on a postage stamp.

    The USA contingent has only won two silver and two bronze medals. Let's step it up, America!

  10. Goodbye C Struggs
    May you ever grow in our hearts
    You were the grace that placed itself
    Where lives were torn apart
    You called out to our ghetto
    And you rapped no shit
    Now you belong to heaven
    And the stars spell out your name

    And it seems to me you lived your life
    Like a candle in the wind
    Never fading with the sunset
    When the rain set in
    And your footsteps will always fall here
    Along Austin's brownest hills
    Your candle's burned out long before
    Your legend ever will

    I remember when gas was $0.25 a gallon.  

    I was three years old. My parents and I were on the way to my grandparents' to celebrate his birthday. When we got to Capitol Dr, I asked my father to go to the Sinclair gas station. My mother and father were very surprised. They must have thought I was confused with the free premiums and wanted a plastic dinosaur. (These were the old days when men wearing caps and ties pumped the gas for you and cleaned the windshield.)

    Hell no. I been saving my money. I wanted to get grandfather a birthday present.

    I hopped out of the car (these were the old days - no child safety seats) and went into the station. They sold gasoline, motor oil and cigarettes. And there was a soda water machine.

    I asked for a pack of cigarettes. "Which brand?" The kind with the dog on the box. 

    After going through Chesterfields, etc with the dog on the box the selection was getting pretty thin. Then I saw an advertisement on the gas station wall. THAT DOG!

    Pack of Camels cost me 17¢.
