yeah man, we're going to be itching to turn the fan side of us on at high volumes.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (It all hit me upside the head today...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I have heard stories of a guy that I used to work with that pushed him to a draw outside of Bert's BBQ on MLK.
Fast as he needed it to be, whenever he needed it to be.
This. I mean, Brackens is easily a top-5 "guy you want with you in a bar fight" in modern Texas football.
The entire global economy is already upside down. This is already way bigger than college sports.
Seems like a bit of hyperbole. Maybe if you said "in our lifetimes", but if we are going outside of the natural world, WWII and the Holocaust would seem as larger crisis. Or Spanish Flu. Or Bubonic plague. And if we are talking about the history of the planet, how about the asteroid that killed all of the dinosaurs and left just the furry little creatures that turned into us?
Not to suggest that this isn't a big deal. That sentence just struck me as a little much.
Glad you got that very important point out of your system. Now you can move on with your day.
Six-Pack ranks on the list on the most awesome bad movies. Like Road House and Point Break. Too bad it's not on every day somewhere like those are.
I clearly get the reason for The Gambler being #1, but honestly, it's not my favorite. Not sure which I would put at #1, but Islands in the Stream is a strong candidate along of course with "Lady." BTW, shout out to Lionel Richie for the songwriting on that one.
Shout to Lionel for loving Kenny so much that he gave him the song.
Lionel sings that song like a total badass.
Why don't you do a bracket challenge with 10 - 20 Texas athletes including basketball players. Let's see who comes out Number 1. We have the time.
I have a different bracket challenge in mind in the coming weeks.
It's probably been said already, but Jordan even had to win a game against Kenny Rogers!
He was pumped to score the last basket.

It was originally written for the Commodores but they passed on it. Along those lines, "We've Got Tonight" was penned by Bob Seger.
What I think is funny about everyone praising the Cuban Doctors is the lack of understanding they did not have a say in the matter. They did not volunteer so I'm not sure it's the "Jessica in a Well” story the OP and other posters want it to be. Under the Cuban regime, you do what you are told.

On your first point - I agree, this week has been a colossal downer on nearly all fronts. Let's all try to be aware of the mental health of friends and loved ones - especially those who are already feeling isolated and alone. I'm worried that we may see a spike in depression and even suicides as this goes on. I know we say it all the time, but reach out to your friends.
On a less positive note, you do realize those Cuban doctors are essentially slave labor for the regime, and that this is primarily a propaganda thing, right? Anastasia O'Grady of the WSJ has been doing a great job for years of detailing how the regime ships these doctors all over the world, pockets their pay, and keeps them in tightly controlled compounds so they won't defect. There will be a lot of wonderful things done by all sorts of people in the face of the pandemic, but I'm not sure Cuba's gesture is a great example of altruism.
