“Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated”

~~~~~Mark Twain

Live from beautiful downtown Hartford, CT where I can see the Mark Twain House from my hospital bed.  

Thank You All for the support!!! Will fill in the complete story later.  The truth is my nurses hook me up with Oxy every Six hours and I’m continuously wasted.  

Life will come up and SLAP some reality on you every so often.  The reason for this very simple.  Because life is meant to live in FORWARD.  

Crazy Inflation 

Call me Johnny.  

  Never met Pete but did see Pete jr play coming up in Iowa.  He was a little peckerhead.  Eight of us were right behind home plate.  It was a dinky park and we were right on top of him.  

  So, we’re having a great time drinking beer and jr is on deck and we’re like, “hey Pete, how you doing?  Give us a wave”.

   That little azzhole wouldn’t even look at us.  No acknowledgement whatsoever.  That’s it!  We were on his case all game. The razing he got from us was brutal.  He was 0fer 5 with 3 k’s.  Epic!!!

only problem is the sports writers have the votes.  

LOL

He’s two weeks off the IL   
Give the kid a break.

   Been watching half hour straight and this is a great interview because Pete is seriously into it and is talking like I’ve never seen him talk.  I’m enjoying every minute.  
   The only reason I’m saving the second half is because I just ate two ambien and this will knock me out in ten minutes. 
    Thanks for posting Freddie.  There are at least a half dozen facts I never knew about Rose.  And still half the action to come!!!

   The key here for the Leftest Democrats will be how many independents they can call to arms vs the dictator far right Republicans in the midterms. 
    Too many blacks and far too many women simply WERE NOT motivated enough to vote in 2024.  Given the continuing police profiling of blacks and the continuing overreach of the SCOTUS ie the overturn of Roe v Wade you would think this should be enough motivation to crush Republicans in the midterms.  
    Only time will tell and the debates will be incredibly interesting in the many months to come.  

The playoff format of 2-2-1-1-1 is a huge problem for teams losing the first two games.  

However, I’m thinking this Cleveland loss tonight is the best thing that could have happened if you’re a Celtics or Thunder backer.  These teams are thinking, “we’re not going to let this happen to us”

  Newark, NJ airport had a systems collapse of outdated computers which caused a two minute outage of communications with aircraft.  Given the volume of air traffic it’s a miracle there wasn’t another disaster. 

   So Philadelphia airport picks up the communication traffic while Newark starts equipment renovations.  This results in several air traffic controllers in Philadelphia invoking their 45 day emergency leave because they were suffering from extreme stress.  

   You can’t make this s#it up!  

   “We don’t need no stinking regulations”

   Complete fukking chaotic stupidity!!!

 “Strategic Uncertainty” has been around for quite some time.  Trump’s father invented the scheme.  You set up a shell company to sell you widgets.  The shell company bills you and your accountant writes this strategic uncertainty off as an operating expense.  The problem with Tubby is that he got greedy and stupid which explains why we never saw his tax returns.

 It’s true that fake Xanax on the street is fentanyl.  My prescription Xanax from my pharmacy is good (I think).  Reason being I also have a Vicodin script and the pill effects are totally different.  Xanax is a benzo and Vicodin contains a mild opioid.
 The one that is crazy is Ambien.  This stuff can make me sleepwalk.  One time I took wifey out to dinner and took my cheesecake dessert home.  Took an Ambien and got into bed.  In the morning I threw a fit at wifey for eating my cheesecake.  
 I had no memory of eating my cheesecake and carrying on a normal and coherent conversation with wifey.
 There are also stories of people driving to the supermarket, shopping, driving home, putting away groceries, then getting in bed, and having no memory of doing anything.  Now, THAT is just plain SPOOKY.  

Moral of story is DO NOT mix these drugs and hide your garage door opener before you crawl into bed.  
  

Have no animal in this fight because after watching Celtics and Thunder going down in their first game on home court there is no way I’m wagering in this spot.  

GL, be rooting for you!  

@thirdperson

 All I can say is THANK GOD Pastor Pence was VP instead of some lackey like JD or Giuliani.

 I don’t make a habit of responding to anyone here in the PF because you’re not going to change anybody’s opinion.  The title of this thread was what caught my eye.  
 Speaking of “Lies, Inaccuracies and Stupidity”, l noticed that both CNN & Fox websites are loading up on “subscribers only” articles.  This is why I cut the TV cable yeas ago.  Didn’t want to pay for slanted news and commercials.  
 So what do the “Corporate Fukks” (TM) do?  They con you and get you to pay for stuff that used to be free. 
 This is called “The Art of Distraction” which both the Government and the Corporations utilize to keep us distracted. It’s the old “Divide and Conquer” routine that Trump has mastered.  
 “Hey, I got 4,000 lawsuits against me and a s#it load of convictions. I’ll just slide into the politics game.  And wtf, no need to become a Congressman or Senator, fts, I’ll just run for President! 
Heck, these Southerners are dumber than a tree stump and they’ll vote for me three, maybe four times!!!”

SHEESH !!!   

Living in CT most of my life and watching NYC from close proximity I’ve seen exactly how Trump operates.  He lives for being the center of attention and loves to make headlines.  
Rebuilding The Rock or taking over Greenland is never going to happen.  Trump just loves the attention it brings when he hatches these grandiose ideas. 
My point being did any of you independents or republicans ever stop to think why nobody in the Northeast voted for Trump?  He didn’t carry any Northeast state because up here Trump is a well known crook.  Look at all the people he has thrown under the bus.  Rubio and Pam wannabe Barbie Bondi at some point will be next.
Oh, and the Border Wall?  Another Trump grandiose half baked idea that will never get completed.  He is exactly like a little kid who gets bored and moves onto the next toy.  

@ByrdMane612

Yup, was wondering also.  
Key is the magician of the mlb forum.
