  1. Ugg, Lakers are done.  They wasted one of the best and last years of peak LeBron & AD’s best year.  Hamm will be fired & DLo traded but what now?

     

    I used to kayak with a guy that invented the dogamaran (a catamaran like platform for his choco-lab “Milk Dud”).  He would be towed behind Matt’s kayak and jump on & off as we kayaked around Lake Union.  Anyways, he moved to Turkey & wrote a book.  I haven’t seen him since but he walked across Turkey…

    Joe Samba recently did a great cover of “Don’t Stop Me Now”

    Maybe that song will motivate me, I got no motivation to get shit done that I should be doing.

     

    • My brother’s best friend was BJ Penn’s nanny.  He was a wild kid & now a total asshat as an adult.  He even tried to run for Governor on a Trump platform that went nowhere.  He was a good fighter for awhile & now has a giant training center in Hilo.

  4. Embiid should have been ejected for taking down Robinson. That’s the kind of thing that blows up knees.

    I thought that chili paste was going to be a lot more expensive. There are a lot of hot sauces on the market which cost the same per ounce and I doubt they go anywhere near that kind of complex and time consuming production process.

  6. The Paris Olympics are in 3 months and I feel like I haven’t heard anything about it? I wonder if any fancy French striking will screw things up. A coworker of mine was taking a vacation that had a connecting flight thru Paris that almost got cancelled THE MORNING OF because of an air traffic controller strike.

    • Unfortunately (well, fortunately, if you’re on the side of the strikers) that’s not uncommon, and transport strikes all over Europe and Britain are becoming ever more common. We once had to make our way to a confab being held in the south of France. BH told his company he wanted to fly to Heathrow on American Airlines and then switch to British Airways, AA’s partner in crime, to get to Nice. This went flawlessly.

      For the other attendees not so much, because they wanted (or were encouraged; newbies) to fly Air France to Paris and then connect from there. Baggage handlers’ strike at CDG. The confab went on for almost a week. No luggage the entire time! The men were really the confabbers and they had it bad enough, but the trophy wives were there to see and be seen and without their luggage they had to skulk around. I’m sure they’re all still traumatized, years later. There was this total Irish bitch who obviously slept her way into some kind of marriage way above her skill set but she was stunning and could speak French fluently. A bigger snob I’ve never met. We, the wives, all ate together and went on excursions and after her dozenth crack about how uncivilized America was I finally snapped and said, “You do realize that over the last 150 years the equivalent of your entire country has emigrated to the US and no one ever goes back to Ireland. Another chunk has moved to England. Liverpool and Manchester have more Irish people than Dublin does. Why do you think that is?”

      Her husband was a Governor of the Bank of Ireland. Oops. But I Stood My Ground. And I did not once crack an anti-Papist joke, even though I know quite a few. I’m a better man than that.

    • She’s also saying to the gyro cart owner (I think that’s what’s going on) “Nice little set-up you have here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it. I’m thinking my husband’s former company, Delaware North, would really be a very good partner for you. The Buffalo Bills stadium is already hundreds of millions over budget. My associate, Jimmy ‘the Watertown Wacker’ O’Sullivan will get in touch. Don’t worry. We’ll find you.”
