Jon Jones second sample also tested positive for steroids. Such a fucking shame. Most fighters would kill for his level of talent and he just squanders it by being a cheater.
Yeah... his PR team tried to talk about his other blood sample not popping, but they forgot that the Internet knew that it's only testable in urine, not blood... He's so fucked right now. Everyone I know has basically given up on anything to do with him. His only hope is to do some weird Japanese shit outside of the sanctioning bodies.
Don't doubt my willingness and commitment to having you wear something trashy at a Steel Panther show.
You don't even need to fuck around with silk screening. Slutty tank + stencil + spray paint and you're good to go. I make stenciled camp t-shirts every year for drunk friends cabin time because it's way cheaper than getting them printed. If I can manage text + a grinning dude holding a beer, I suspect any of you could manage a stencil that just said TiB.
A few WDTs ago somebody made a TiB Boobie logo. Wait, I think that was me. The hiccup in the plan is that unless Audrey agrees to make it, abs won't give her mailing address to anyone else at TiB. Although, Aud may need to hand-deliver it, since she and abs were supposed to scissor. No wait, that was Currer Bell.
This is great. In LA the police were involved in a stand off with a suspect that was on an 83 year old man's roof. The old man said "Fuck it", borrowed a neighbor's ladder, climbed up on the roof, and physically threw the suspect off his roof.
The mere fact that there were crisis negotiators and a standoff at all is just so fucking sad. It was a kid with a backpack, and the old man had had enough of his shit. Hilarious.
Next week is the 100th anniversary of the Ontario Plowing Match. Living in BC for the past 25+ years meant that I couldn't attend, but this year I am... should be fun. Call me crazy, but I love watching old farm machinery work... huge single piston steam engines, etc. Shit like this: Looking forward to it.
Old tractors are cool as hell. Especially when a bored farmer drops a flatty V8 with three dueces in one.
My grandfather was an antique tool dealer and took me to the Steam & Farm Show in Brigden every year. I love when they use the steam tractors to do the giant belt drive demos.
That is a badass 8N. When I bought my tractor, I almost got an 8N, but I ended up with 1961 John Deere 1010. It looks like crap, but it's a beast. Well, it was. It's currently in the shop.* *Shop being my 80 year old neighbor has it in his backyard in pieces. I think I may have located a sleeve deck, though, so we'll see.
My great grandfather was a sawyer. He had an amazing old-school saw mill that was run with steam... huge saws run by monster belt drives powered by a big-ass steam engine out the back. My dad had stories of him being a 6-year-old and out working with the big Clydesdales that would drag the logs to the few hundred yards to the mill... alone. A worker would hook up logs at one end and send them on their way, they'd drag the logs to the mill, and a worker at the other end would unhook them and send them back. They'd do that all day. If 6-year-old dad was out and about and got underfoot, they were smart enough to just stop in their tracks when he was in the way. I really wish there were pictures or videos of that...
Power crews from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, waiting in a staging area in Georgia awaiting the go-ahead to move into Florida to help restore power. Nice.
Thanks Canada! I was chatting with some power guys from Wisconsin at the Advance Auto Parts yesterday. (And, I had to pay with cash!) One of the problems is that the rescue and power crews can't get around because of everybody returning to Florida. The southbound roads around here are all parking lots. I am burning up Waze when I have to move around or get home. Thankfully, my "long way" route home has now been cleared and I can go that way if necessary. The transformers and poles and wires that are all out in the residential streets near my office still look that way today. There's just nobody to get to it, even though it's a major safety hazard.
In other humanitarian news, how's the progress for the Slutty Outfit Committee going? You only have 10 days to get Abneretta her outfit.
