    She nailed the warped wall. I've seen a lot of guys crash and burn on that damned thing.
    "If force can take away liberty, force is necessary to preserve it. It is the hatred of violence alongside the willingness to use violence that preserves liberty. In order for us to live as free men, we have to hate the violence that takes away liberty, yet at the same time, we must embrace the violence that preserves it. That is the paradox our founders appreciated and made work for over 200 years."

    My guess would be a big, fat zero.

    Meagan Martin did really well this year at the qualifier in CO.

    ANW is back on tonight. It nice to have something worthwhile to watch on network tv, for a change. Shark Week is a big week for everyone in my household, but me...so I'm finally enjoying some tv entertainment for myself.

    It's just too bad that it's associated with Esquire. I miss the real Ninja Warrior.

    Thankfully, ignorance is bliss. I have no idea what you are talking about. Mindless entertainment at its finest.

    Well, for starters, #58 on Esquire's list of "79 Things We Can All Agree On" is that "most people shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a handgun." They also give space to Robert Bateman. But, they do have good information about face moisturizers. I do my best to not help them get money.

Be funny to watch some of those millionaire "professional" athletes try and take that course on.

    The incremental bar was amazing.
    One of the competitors (Kevin Bull, the one with alopecia) showed up at the little karate school my nephew goes to. Kids all thought he was great.


    And before you ask, I'm certain it's a bullshit strip mall school. He's five though


    One thing you do have to bear in mind about professional athletes is that they are extremely specialized and tailored for their given sport. No doubt the rock climbers and gymnasts that do so well on this show/competition wouldn't all automatically be amazing hockey/football/basketball players either.
