As long as I don't have to sit through any online tournaments I'm all for it.
N.O.B.
- Thread starter mashburned
- Start date
Those ESports tourneys are dope, I took my son to see this one about 10 years ago. And we were THERE!!!!

Let me tell you about a little thing called an All Star Cheerleading Competition.The only thing more mind-numbingly boring than a HS track meet is a kid's dance recital. Had to go to a couple of my little niece's a few years ago. I'd rather have been kicked square in the nuts by a 'roided out mule. Imagine 2-3 hours of this...
- Terribly remixed music BLARING through the speaker for 150 seconds with 2 minute breaks in between.
- Ultra peppy and loud announcers, also former cheerleaders, who announce the group coming up next.
- Cheer moms that scream at the top of their lungs.
- Cheerleaders that scream and squeal at the top of their lungs.
- Crappy seating
- Goes on for hours
- Preteen children doing dances that people got arrested for 40 years or so ago.
- Award ceremonies that last ffffoooorrrrreeeevvvvvveeeeerrrrr. 1st Place in Level 1 All Star Mini Division is an actual thing. Now imagine all the variations. Level 2, level 3, All star, school, tiny, mini, junior, senior, cheer and dance. Literally everyone gets a trophy. Sometimes 3 or 4, because you can win your level, and grand champion, and get this, Ultra Grand Champion. And every award is announced whether there was more than one team in the division or not.
And you'd think, all these former cheerleaders that are now coaches and moms would be hot and well put together. You would be wrong for the most part. Predominately large chicks living their glory days vicariously through their daughters.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad my kid is involved and is learning team work and being healthy and stuff. The competitions are just brutal.
I'm pretty sure Dante foretold this about 700 years ago.
Kooky, I feel your pain on the T&F deal. Been there done that (& still doing it). XC is bad too...but no where near as bad as T&F.
One of these days (que Pink Floyd) I will go on a tirade about the current climate on the AAU basketball circuit. Wholly effing shite is that unbearably bad on 25 different levels. But I don’t have the energy to go down that path at the moment. Takes too much out of me.

On a lighter note, here's a great Bob Uecker -- who celebrated his 88th birthday yesterday, btw -- story, courtesy of Artie Lange and Norm Macdonald. Definitely NSFW

.Get this ****: the aforementioned stepson has a track meet in Louisville this Sunday and registration is at 7:30 a.m. Mighty McCracken County High has enough money to build a huge f#cking school with all the amenities, but they can't spring for a f#cking bus to transport their athletes across the state -- which means the aforementioned stepson and his buddy (both 19) are gonna have to leave about 2:30 - 3:00 a.m. our time (i.e. God's time) to get there in time. So my idea was "hey, let's just pay for a hotel room and have them drive up Saturday afternoon." Sounds reasonable, right? Yeah well I just discovered that the minimum age for checking in to both Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn is 21. Twenty f#cking one! WTF?
Don't wanna sound like a crotchety old man, but 18 year olds can drive, vote, and hold a rifle while dying in the upcoming Ukrainian war, but they can't get a good night's sleep in a hotel by themselves? GTFO here with that ********.

Mav...as per usual, you are going about things all wrong. For starters...always operate on the correct time...EST. ALWAYS. Secondly, tell your step-son to identify as an illegal immigrant. Boom! Free hotel room in the city of Louisville for as long as he wants to stay. Probably even upgrade him to the Galt House or 21c.
Try VRBO. Or send them with a tent and some sleeping bags.
Mav...I got 5 acres. They can camp out in my back yard, use the pond to catch some fish & to bath and they can use the fire pit to cook their newly caught dinner. They’ll most certainly wind up with some goose shite on their shoes & gear and they’ll have to break the ice in the pond first but they’re young pups...I’m sure they can manage. Just tell them no matter how pissed off they get about the goose shite...do not...under any circumstances...shoot the geese. I’ve got enough trouble with the neighborhood committee as it stands.
Speaking of pools. Has any of us in this thread ever had a pool? I was wondering if there were any fun stories to tell about said pool and possibly its liner.
I'll hang up and listen.

I had my neighbors pool ruin my house and yard for 1.5 years… that count?
Neighbor ladies have a pool. I ended up seeing things that I wish I had not seen.
Speaking of things unseen. I read over on the rafters that Cal has not seen Ty Ty, Toppin or Collins. Someone needs to put their faces on the side of a milk carton.
Damnit Mav! How can you possibly do anything right if you’re doing it in CST?????!!!
Well, now that you mention it....
I was 100% sure that you were going to fight for that pool in the divorce. Just so you could have the pleasure of destroying it.
That's truly one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Y'all have no idea how many times I fantasized about doing the very same thing.
Now I’m reading that the missing players have been spotted at the shoot around. Who knows? Call’s program is such a damn mystery.
Jayhawks by 6. We’ll be frustratingly within striking distance the whole time.
He never says what it really is. I understand the gamesmanship but it's frustrating.
That's how I see it.
Judging by this thicc-assed gymnasts I saw on the tube, maybe we gymnastic skoo
I’m an occasional lurker and first-time poster on this thread…. Cool video, thanks for posting.
My next door neighbors have one of those large in-ground pools, and one hot summer day I was taking a break from some yard work, when suddenly I heard a BOOM! Their pool split wide open from a mechanical fatigue failure; they weren’t even home when it happened. If only I had known it was about to fail I could have done what these people did in the video.
Stories like this warm what's left of my bitter, blackened heart. I dream of a world without pools -- a better, simpler world. I so want this for my fellow man.My next door neighbors have one of those large in-ground pools, and one hot summer day I was taking a break from some yard work, when suddenly I heard a BOOM!

Namaste, y'all
I hear ya, but a couple weeks later they had a new pool installed…..Stories like this warm what's left of my bitter, blackened heart. I dream of a world without pools -- a better, simpler world. I so want this for my fellow man.

Some pro players wind up being good fits for specific pro teams once they settle in, learn the system and make a few adjustments. However, on rare occasions...once or twice in a lifetime perhaps...there comes along a 100% perfect match the very second that the player signs the contract.
