I'm impressed with their endurance and athleticism, matches can last for hours!

I won't watch tennis because of the damn grunting, which drives me up the f***ing wall. Sure, I could mute the sound but watching sports without any sound is a dead loss to me. Can you imagine watching a hockey game where every time a player let loose a slap shot he would accompany it with a loud UNNHHH!!!? A QB throws a long pass? UNNHHHH!!! Kicker launches a field goal? UNNHHH!!! Baseball player swings at a pitch? UNNHHHH!!! A golfer tees off? UNNHHHH!!! It's stupid, it's annoying and the sport needs to do something about it. I'm not the only one that feels this way, volumes have been written about.

How do you know these athletes aren't grunting?

Far out man . :laugh:


I was listening to a Rogan podcast with Tarantino and Joe said he judged people’s movie sensibilities by the Big Labowski……if a person didn’t like or didn’t get it he knew they couldn’t talk movies.

RIP, Omar.

I started rewatching The Wire after hearing of his passing. Damn, there’s some fine acting in that show.

The show is one of my all time favourites.

A classic scene was when Bunk met Omar by the old train station and he went off on him for being a role model to young kids in the neighborhood.

Terrible news.

I once had the pleasure of doing the intro for Norm when he headlined our Wednesday Comedy night at the roadhouse I owned and ran in Northern Saskatchewan when Norm and I were in our 20's. Very nice guy.

f*** cancer

Ordered a Tesla today (living in Vancouver so a bit warmer here.).

The savings on gas and maintenance alone really make it worth it. Hoping this is the last car I ever buy.

The battery tech still has me worried. There are only so many charges until the batteries degrade and you're left with significantly less range. Paying $22,000 for a new battery pack isn't feasible imho. That said hope it works out awesome for you!
