  1. My parents were on a safari in Kenya many years ago and their lodge also had baboons on the premises. One evening while my dad was walking holding his camera strap with the shiny camera dangling from his hand, this baboon comes up from nowhere and yoinks it from my dad's grasp. He reports it to the staff and a couple of days later he gets his fucked up camera back. This is back in the day of analog film and they had taken other photos prior to the heist. Once they get back home and have the film developed, they discovered a couple of random blurry photos accidently triggered when the baboons were fucking with the camera. Including a photo of a baboon's nutsack. Sadly that majestic photo of baboon balls is no longer in our possession. I'd blow it up and frame it. It would make an interesting conversation piece....."what do you think it is?"
  2. He can't really have crazy money yet being a 2nd round NFL pick on a rookie contract, so he's limited to how much he can bribe a fall guy. But I'm guessing one of those idiots will sign up for like $100K and a hand job. Rashee can wear receivers gloves, so its not like there will be direct hand-to-crank action.
  3. If I'm a USC fan, I probably feel similar to how we felt when Shaka "left" for greener pastures in Milwaukee. Pretty average record in the 11 years he was there, although USC has never really accomplished much in hoops (to my recollection). Not a terrible hire, but not exactly one I would get excited over.

    And miss out on the next Sam Howell?
  5. When my old man passed about 14 years ago, my mom of her own volition decided to purchase long term care insurance. Her insurer was Mutual of Omaha, and they were a bitch to deal with when it was time to start collecting(Alzheimers/memory care). There is no way my mom would be able to navigate the hurdles thrown up by her insurer to resist the start of payments, as her mental faculties were too diminished by the time she qualified. Luckily my sister stayed on their ass like a rabid banshee so they did begin payout. We exhausted the entirety of her lifetime maximum benefit ($350K) in a little over 2 years, but she was in a nice place on the east coast. She had some savings which we were just starting to tap into when she passed. Realizing exactly how much it costs to receive the standard of care that she did (and it was top notch) was horrifying. As an aside, the long term care insurance market must be a horrible business. I forget the exact details, but I know she paid in much less than she received (maybe 30%). Which probably explains the difficulty in getting the payments started. These companies are losing their ass with the spike in costs as evidenced by the number of insurers offering long term care insurance falling from 100+ to about a dozen. I'm not sure if its even worth looking into these days as premiums to enroll have skyrocketed, but it proved to a valuable financial tool in my mom's case. But she also had an advocate in my sister to manage the claims process which was not trivial. And to clarify, I don't believe she qualified for benefits while she was merely in assisted living. So she paid for assisted living (around $60-$70K/yr) and only when she entered memory care did she get the benefits of her policy. But fuck those were exhausted quickly.
  6. Thats quite the product endorsement.
  7. I feel like the simulation missed a golden opportunity with that photo to reintroduce Kitara Ravache.
  8. Stumbled across this on reddit. Wyoming circa 1885. What could go wrong.
  9. Pretty sure Zeigler can come back (I wandered over to a Tenn board after my post https://www.volnation.com/forum/threads/who-is-on-the-team-next-year.362803/). I guess my comment on Barnes retirement is based on the sport itself changing rapidly. Saban was telling everyone he was good through 2030, and lasted about a year. If Barnes cant keep that same type of continuity, I could just see him saying fuck it. If the over/under was 2.5 seasons, I'd probably take the under.
  10. who else besides Knecht is gone this year? Rick will be 70 at the start of next season, and he's definitely old school and into the program/family aspect. Wouldnt surprise me if he hangs it up soon a la Saban. I think a few of his key guys are back, but I'm wondering if next season will be it?

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    Lulz, Purdy led the league in QBR and rating, threw for more yards than Mahomes on the season with a better TD/INT ratio, led his team to the #1 seed in the NFC, and ultimately the SuperBowl in his first full season as a QB in the NFL. So barring some catastrophic injury, yes I do believe someone will throw a big contract at Purdy, and my guess is it will be the 49ers. Daniel Jones doesn't belong in the same sentence as Purdy.
  12. He's gonna be known as Crashflee from now on isnt he.
  13. Thats how people die. In my world, both drivers would do some jailtime. In reality, if that is Rice driving the vette, he'll pay some top dollar lawyer to get probation. Hopefully the league at least suspends his ass. If DPD is actively looking for Rice, you would think his lawyers/agent would make him available today. Booze should be out of his system at least.
  14. looks like the queefs will be in the market for a WR in the draft.
  15. you gotta savor it now, because you wont be seeing much of it in the future.
  16. Lulz. It goes both ways. He literally got wrapped up on an inbounds pass in the first half. dude had his arms all the way around Edey so he couldnt jump. No whistle.
  17. I think Awaka could get away with buttfucking Edey at this point.
  18. Out of the teams left, I'm probably rooting for NC State to keep their improbable heater going, but Barnes would be my second choice.
  19. https://www.masters.com/tasteofthemasters Even the masters food shipped to your door is reasonably priced. I don't have a need to feed 14 people, but I could see ordering that if I was hosting a final day shindig. Might suck, but I'd roll the dice.
