Alabama Football
I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FOOTBALL SEASON.
WELL, HERE'S A LITTLE RECAP OF LAST YEAR.........
Coincidence? Just wondering...................
Alabama beat Arkansas,
and Arkansas fired their coach.
Alabama beat Tennessee,
and Tennessee fired their coach.
Alabama beat Auburn,
and Auburn fired their coach.
Then Alabama beat Notre Dame, and the Pope resigned.......
BOY, I wish the White House had a team!!

1. Buy a brand new fancy bat
2. Wear some actual baseball pants
3. Hang out at the softball fields and be sure to let everyone know you have a fancy bat, the baseball pants will let everyone know you are serious
4. Wait for teams needing a last minute sub to ask you to play
5. Go 5-5 with 2 hr's and the team will ask you to play next week.

Ole ben ji's dad has always fancied himself as an ivestment guy/day trader. When I was growing up he would always ask me and my siblings if we wanted to invest some money in the stocks he was buying but they were all stupid penny stock stuff and I stopped after losing a couple hundred dollars. The only stock I can actually remember him buying was for a new TV network call "Queer TV" in the early 2000's, never knew if it was an actually company but it does strike me as strange that a right wing rush limbaugh devotee would invest in "Queer TV"
Anyways he works in IT and usually works from home spending alot of his time daytrading.
So yesterday I stop by my parents house on the way to work to grab some stuff and start talking to him. He tells me to keep an eye on a certain stock, forgot the name, and that it was up 15cents on pretrading. I ask him how much he has invested in it and he tells me "Alot of my retirement money", all in this one stock I ask, "Yep".
I called him an idiot and told him that a 55yr old man shouldnt be putting that much emphasis on one stock. He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and said "But its up 15cents on pretrading"

A- I saw asian font and a coca cola sign, was thinking china but then I saw an asian with bleach blonde hair. Gotta be japan. But what part of japan? Well there are some tropical looking plants so lets say southern? Boom, off by a couple KM
B- Put in front of the key west westin hotel.
C- Was infront of a "Ignov Vontourozich" institute or something, gotta be russia or eastern europe. Could also see a row a taxi's(russian looking) so I know it a touristy spot. The plants I could see looked pretty tropical so I guessed Odessa Ukraine aka the New Orleans of the USSR. It was actually some random town in romania along the black sea but I was only off a couple of KM.
D- This one really screwed me up. The country looked pretty developed with lots of tropical looking plants. Saw a sign for "Kangaroo Air Charters" so I assumed it was in the northern region of Austrailia....NOPE THERE IS A GOD DAM KANGAROO AIR CHARTER IN BOTSWANA.
E- Was on a road in a latin american country, no idea which until I saw a gas station with "Petrobas" gotta be brazil. But where in brazil? You could see a small river in the background and it looked like something you would see in the midwest so I picked some area in the grassland region of Brazil. Got the correct region but wrong area

Both of those ponds appear to be public. Worst thing that could happen is the owner shows up and is all like "Hey, what are you doing fishing my pond" then you are all like "O I'm sorry sir, i thought this was public/I've been fishing here since I was a kid" then he is all like "Well its my land, you need to go" then you are all like "Sure thing" and go to the next pond.

Pro Tip- This pond used to be a farm pond and has bass/catfish in it. Back in my younger days I would hop the fence and fish in the 2 ponds to the west, caught a 5lb'er in the big pond but now I am too old to be jumping fences to catch fish.

Man, I really wish the phone on my camera was working yesterday when I went down to the KS River underneath the 435 bridge. You guys would be amazed at the crazy asians down there.
I counted 8 different people standing in the middle of the river with throw nets catching fish, even a couple standing on top of the weir/waterfall throwing nets belows. The males would net a bunch of fish, bring them over to the shore where the female's/kids would throw them straight on the fire, no cleaning or anything.
Then in about 5 minutes they would pull the whole fish off the flames and eat it with their hands.

« on: May 10, 2013, 04:32:20 PM »Thought about fishing the lake of Lenexa Sunday. Anyone ever fish that area or the smaller surrounding lakes in JO? Was going to fish from the shore for bass/crappie.
I dont normally fish public lakes, find a good looking pond on google maps and just walk up to it and start fishing.
Great way to get shot by some crazy farmer.
Pro tip- Dont go on crazy farmers land. Look on the edges of suburbia and there are pockets of land that got skipped over in development, alot of those pockets have farm ponds on them.
Pro Tip #2- Look at 435 and 69 highway on google maps. See the pond southwest of the interchange? These are the places I'm talking about. I fished it once in high school and caught a couple fish, will probably check it out again this weekend.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: games you invented as a kid that are still fun to play
« on: May 10, 2013, 03:29:00 PM »
Me and my bro's actually invented a game when we were in nashville for a bachelor party last month, we ended up playing it for 3 hours.
"Nature Ballz"
What you need: 2 footballs, 10 tennis balls, 1 trash can, 2 golf clubs(a stick would work too).
How many players?: At least 5 on each side, optimal number is around 8.
Where to play: Any open Field. Place Trash can in the middle of the field, each team cannot cross the trash can and go on the other teams side. Place golf clubs or sticks 20 feet on each side of trash can.
In a nutshell: Combination of Throw a football in the trash can from behind the clubs and dodgeball with tennis balls. Each time you make the football in the trash can you score 5 pts, each time you hit an opposing player with a tennis ball you score 1 pt. Play to a total of 69 points.
Rules you should know: Every player must have an open beer in their hand at all times. If your team makes the football in the trash can the opposing team has to take a knee and chug their beer while you un-mercifully mock them and fake air hump next to their heads. If you hit an opposing player with a tennis ball they have to take a drink of their beer.
Play for money? Just for fun
Strategy tidbit: If you can control all of the tennis balls you will be able to post up by the trashcan and catch any bad football throws before they cross onto the opponents side. To keep the game flowing I recommend a 1 minute shot clock for each person holding a tennis ball.
