That's pretty awesome. I used to love that when I was kid at hockey tournaments. Patches and pins.

We do patches too. It's such a great ice breaker during tournaments. And you get to meet a lot of cool people.

I think it's a lot easier in archery than other sports to be friendly with your competitors. Most archers (at least the good ones) don't feel like they are competing against anyone except themselves. It's all about trying to hit that PB "Personal Best"...I think that creates a fun sense of community.

I found a kayak I want and I'm super tempted to pull the trigger. But $3500 feels like a lot to drop on such a purchase.

With zero knowledge of kayaks - that feels like a lot of money

Because it is. But it's so nice lol. It has a built in motor should I want to go real far but can also be converted to using only paddle power if I want the workout.

The biggest selling point for me is the motor and the stability while still being small and light enough to transport on the roof of my car. So many fishing kayaks these days require either a pickup truck or a trailer to move them. At that point I might as well just get a boat.

Hulk Hogan Claims He Received A Voice Message From Roddy Piper Two Days After His Death

The wrestling industry has had some of the most intriguing and compassionate storylines that one could ever expect. There have been numerous instances
www.ringsidenews.com

@Bleedred , Hogan has to be the biggest liar and bullshitter in wrestling history. And that covers a lot of ground...

He always has weird stories.

I remember he claimed Laila Ali talked him out of committing suicide when he had the gun in his mouth.

Didn't he also claim some weird story with Warrior and they hugged and all that right before he died? That was semi believable because they were all in the same spot for Wrestlemania/Hall of Fame weekend.

He also said he ran into Macho Man in a doctor's office not too long before he died and they made up in there.

I always HATED him. I remember marking out when HBK superkicked him to start their (stupid) feud before Summerslam 2005. All the dumb marks booed HBK for superkicking him. I LOVED it.

f*** Hogan.

For as dumb as that feud and match were, it brought us this moment, which never would have happened if not for that match taking place.



One of the funniest skits ever.

I actually listened to that about a year or two ago lol.

Lol. That and the Vince stories omnibus are two I always go back to for a quick laugh. Apparently Vince wants to start another wrestling company.

He had Alpha Entertainment for the XFL, he should call it Alpha Entertainment Wrestling. AE...oh wait.

So I bought an expensive mountain bike. Discussed it with the wife and she said ok because I had a history of bicycling and I had to get in shape. I have ridden it almost every day for the last couple of years. Worth every penny. If it sat in the garage I’d never hear the end of it. So my thought is will you use the kayak enough for it be worthwhile. How long does a kayak last? If it lasts ten years that’s about $400 per year to have it. Is that worth it? If so go for it.

You can easily buy a non-electric mountain bike for upwards of $5k in today's world and that's not even the top of the line model. Entry level carbon bike is about $2500 and with full suspension it starts at about $3500. Top of the line model I saw in the store is going for almost $12k. Again, just a mountain bike. No motor. Somebody must be buying those.

Seems everything has gotten really expensive. I don't mind paying for specialized items that are high quality and require craftsmanship...like custom bows :)

I'm a sucker for good hand crafted archery equipment...but for the life of me I never understood the prices of Yeti coolers... I mean injected molded plastic should be a relatively inexpensive processes? No? And a kayak is a long Yeti cooler :laugh:

I think he said it has a built in engine? Even then I agree with you. On the bicycle you are paying for the carbon fiber and then the front fork (and the rear damper/shock absorber). A good fork can run up to about $1000 which is absurd. A rear shock is probably going to run you from $500-$750. So it's easy to see how fast the price climbs. Still overpriced in today's world. The carbon fiber might be less expensive than the fancy aluminum alloys that include some rare earth metals.
