Quite the week for bitcoin. Perfect storm down south with very pro crypto election results, and the potential of a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, looking forward to the 2025 potential banana phase of the crypto 4 year cycle. It's been fun chatting with friends this week who told me I was crazy years ago to get into this, suddenly wanting some more info. ;)

Guys--Is this Jake Paul guy for real or is this just a publicity stunt?

Is he famous as a kickboxer? Why is this happening. Tyson looks like he is going to go beserk.

He's a YouTuber turned pro boxer. He's actually put in the time and is an ok Boxer these days, but I think everyone on the planet is rooting for Tyson to knock him the f*** out.

It's probably a rigged fight. I keep hearing Jake has a no knockout clause haha

If that is true, I can't even watch.

Even at age 58, Tyson is still a powerful beast with a horrible temper. I wonder if this YouTuber will leave in a hearse?

It's on NetFlix at 6 MST (I think).

Oh man, does that bring back memories. My son was a little tyke at the time, and it was a beautiful day to hit the toboggan hill. Father and son activity, and my wife only gave me one very sternly piece of advice, under no circumstances is he allowed to go on his own down the hill. He had one of these GT Racers, so for the first hour or so we both got on each run, him in front, me in the back, had a blast. But of course he kept asking to go by himself. It was getting late, sun was setting, there was no one else on the hill, so I figured why not, what can possibly go wrong. So we went to the center of the hill, no big jumps, just 20 seconds of fun. So he starts off, and then half way down he suddenly jerks the steering wheel hard to the left, and is heading straight for the dense bush area. I start running after him, almost catch him as he goes off a mini cliff into the bush. I figure at best he hit a tree, at worst, didn't want to go there. By some miracle to missed every tree, and was just sitting in the sled, big smile on his face, wanting to go again. I knew my son would blab to my wife about his great adventure, so I confessed, and still can see the look on my wife's face, part utter disbelief and part underestimating how stupid I could possibly be. ;)

I remember that well. Still also remember the shit stain on your pants after you finally came back up the hill.:D

11.5 out of 10 on the dismount.

Red Deer, Alta
Waaaaay better than the Carol Channing version. Thankyou.

I haven't come across the Channing version, but I did hear snippets from Cass Elliot, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Liza Minnelli, The Bachelors, Jim Nabors, Kelsey Grammar (as Dr. Fraser Crane), Sonny & Cher, Thog (from the Muppets Show) singing to Julie Andrews, Pepe the King Prawn and Fozzie Bear (from the Muppets Show), Captain & Tennille, Kaye Ballard, Rob Reider, Betty Chung, Nini Rosso, various amateur cover videos, instrumentals (including ukulele), some dance videos and karioke.
