I'm not sure where you're coming from on this, and I won't assume, but I feel like it would be discriminating to not allow it, no? In my admittedly very limited experience, I think most folks with disabilities just want to be treated the same as everyone else. And according to the article, it's already been around in Europe. If it helps grow the games and awareness of certain disabilities (and athletes that overcome them) I can't see that as a bad thing.

while I see that side of it, I see the innocence of special Olympics more.
I couldn’t imagine how any Olympian would feel after finding out a judge was caught rigging the scores because he was betting on the games.
There’s too many different angles to corrupt the games.

Butter bean is only 56? I thought he was in his 40’s back in the 90s

Nice!
I love hearing stories about people winning.

Too bad it won't be one about the Flyers...

I gotcha and agree it's a legit concern. I also don't see it going anywhere. It's the world we live in

That line, delivered in the disoriented dream-state that is waking from a KO, was an absolute feat of comedy.

He had to have had that one ready. Nobody was expecting a different outcome to that "fight" lol But yeah, he delivers it perfectly. Olde Tyme Jackass

Even when you have it ready, being able to remember you wanted to say it then is incredible

I've given one kick ass public speech in my life. A toast for my bud as his best man at the wedding. My pro tip is: think about what you want to say/convey. Rehearse it in your head as much as you want, but never write it down or memorize it. The words you choose in the moment will be natural and sincere. People love that shit

Anyone win anything big before?
I just won a truck! 2023 ford insert whatever model I choose because the dealer that donated the truck didn’t have any in hand so I’m getting the credit equivalent to spend at that dealer.

Congrats, m'Lord!

If I upgrade I’m trying to keep it within the 30k extra price range. Possibly.
I did price out a king ranch with all the bells and whistles.
The problem though is ford “arbitrarily” pulled a bunch of features from their lineup due to chip shortages but still have the options available on the “build a vehicle” page.
I believe the dealer said it’s about an 8 month wait to build.

But try doing it after Buttberbean has mushed your brain

Great. First, I find out I'm older than Appleyard's dad, now I'm finding out I'm older than Butterbean.

A good pickup truck is something you will have for many years so make sure you get exactly what you want even if you have to wait.

Just came across this website that could be of interest to some of you. Put in your ZIP code and you’ll get a list of things available in your area.

I got a new car a couple months ago and ordered it. They told me it'd take maybe 4 months, I got it in about 3 weeks

Any issues with features being missing due to chip shortage?
