    If someone taught him how to pole vault he would be a great decathlete.


    I remember reading that in high school he was high jumping 6'6" or 6' 8" with absolutely no training. Just like go out there, jump as high as you can, shrug your shoulders.

    Over a 9ft broad jump at 300lbs?  Holy shit that dude is explosive.


    Our S&C coaching appears to be SEC ready.

    I've worked on convention E&P deals and now a renewable energy deal, and my opinion on EV's is simple.  Free market.  If people want to buy an EV or a Hybrid, let 'em and let's the rest of us quit bitching about it.  They've a long way to go, just as hydrocarbon powered internal combustion vehicles did the first 20+ years they existed.  We're a damn smart species but it takes time to figure out energy and power even for us.  I drive a gas guzzling truck right now and use it for all kinda chorin'.  But our next vehicle will likely be an SUV hybrid for my wife.  But yeah in the meantime, I got a bad feeling as pointed out in the last few posts---there's some gonna be some owners/firefighters/et. al. that years down the road, like troops that did burn-pit duty in the military overseas that have long-term effects from some of the shit they were exposed to and that's a fucking crime.  

    To bring it back to LOL-space.  I forgot to mention, so the Cybertruck designer guy (helluva nice guy FTR), they're relatively new to town (Elon recruited him at 3am from Detroit to come to Austin the next day to finish the transition plan for mass production on the assembly line.  So they go to our church and then I see the wife at our elementary school's Kinder roundup the other day.  And wife and I are chatting with her and she insists that we borrow one of the trucks for a few hours to drive one of these days and I say 'absolutely, would love to check it out.'  And she jokes how they're indestcructable so she's not worried.  And I joke about my insurance not covering testing that theory, haha small talk.  But I'm gonna take her up on it, and she says something like well we have the two as you've seen so just come take one this weekend.  And then something like, "Only thing is leave it parked tip-to-tip with the other one." And my wife immediately knows what I'm gonna say and gives me this scowl, "Yes, I believe they call that Docking."  And we were NOT laughing...


    This did not make me LOL.

    @Gil Bang is right.  It’s not just Prince.   Plenty of folks are like this. Some more than others.  Music and Hollywood stars seem to take it to another level.   Maybe it’s about their “image.”    Who knows?

    Maybe the thing that makes some weird is also the thing that makes them talented.
