Yeah, if a would is to big or in a spot where they really need to pull you together tightly to hold, i.e. spots with not a lot of skin, etc, to grab, they still have to go old school.

18 years ago I got to see Dave Chappelle in Miami Beach. He was great & leaving us wanting more...literally.
His show was relatively short compared to seeing Carlin, Eddie Murphy et al. It kind of left a rotten taste in my mouth so to speak. Last night he walked off the stage at the Hard Rock down here.
Phones are strictly prohibited at all of his shows. They tell you before you buy the tickets, they have big signs at the event warning customers & you must place your phone in a locked bag the venue provides. Except one douchebag sneaked in a phone & was caught recording Chappelle & he freaked out. After verbally destroying the dude, he walked off the stage.
The audience starting yelling "Dave, Dave" trying to get him back out to finish the show. Eventually, people starting booing him & it turned into a clusterfuck. He's down here for 3 more shows & I gotta believe he'll joke about what happened. The only problem is I don't think the audience will think it was funny how he handled the situation.
I mean hell Dave is a pro, right?. So you call security, throw out the moron with the phone & you continue the show. Tonight's show could get very interesting. If the shit hits the fan, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chappelle cancel the remaining nights.

Don't be surprised that in the next decade or so, employers will expect/require employees to be bi-lingual.
In SFLA, we have thousands of Cuban, Haitian & Jamaica residents that still have not learned the English language. And if you work in the Miami hospitality industry, you sure as hell better speak both English & Spanish.
Many of these folks don't "need" to speak English because they live in predominately Latin communities that support each other. They rarely find themselves with a language barrier because "we" the country provide them with interpreters.
If I were to relocate to France, I would learn to speak French. I expect nothing more from those deciding to make America their new home.
Learn to speak English & then you can teach Americans to speak your language.

Dave does stuff like this. I hate yonder bags. Dave is one of the few comedians who I accept/understand such extra steps for but many have gone to using them and it has become a joke in and of itself.
Dave is a wildcard though. You never know if he will cut a show short or ramble on well past his time. Dave gets to do what Dave wants to do. He has made a second home of the Bay Area in the last few decades and will come here to do pop ups, etc all of the time. Workshop material. I have experienced some magical Dave moments, pop up midnight sets and such, as well as some real stinkers.

There is so much truth in his humor & much of it is directed at his fans who are laughing their asses off & it's not until they get back in the car to go home that they realize Chappell was talking about them.
He's so captivating, you want him to tell you more & more. My only issue is he does about 5 or 6 bits that last about 15 minutes each. He sets up the story in a slow, methodical manner & the audience isn't sure where's he's going. And then BAM he sets the hook with an hilarious ending.
He'll take time to interact with the audience until he finds the best pigeon to destroy with questions like "Look at the babe sitting next to you. My, my, hmm. How much are you paying her to be with you tonight?" If you're smart you will just look and smile along with him. But inevitably some douche will think he's quicker/funnier than Chappell & it never turns out well for them.

In his entire 20-year career, Tony Gwynn struck out 434 times--an average of 21.7 (roughly 22) strikeouts a season. Last season, 129 players had struck out 22 times by the end of April.
From 1994 to 2001, Greg Maddux started 257 regular season games and walked a total of 253 batters in those starts...63 of those walks was intentional.
Nolan Ryan threw 7 no hitters, but never won a Cy Young Award. Roger Clemens won 7 Cy Young Awards but never threw a no hitter

Last night before going to bed, I had to play the OVER 114 in the Virginia/Notre Dame game. These 2 teams are a combined 6-18 in the OVER/UNDER category. I have lost on VIRGINIA OVER 4 times in a row. Today I break the trend....I hope
Just saw the line jumped to 116.5 overnight.
Also played PENN +26 against Houston for later today.
I'm a glutton for punishment.

Some balls on you taking an over in a Virginia game. Haven't followed their totals this season but traditionally, their games go over.

Randomly entering my medulla oblongata : assholes are both ruthless and goofy in their moves , they’ll try to stop you , but I’m apocalypse proof , terror is in my making , so whether it’s angels or devils that we’re comparing , I don’t really care , cuz I dare them to create beef , cuz I eradicate the fake and I make a mockery of hate speech , with every single breath of the oxygen in my brain please , so if you don’t have the ammunition , or the artillery , it’s simple , female fart it from where you’re parted and step out the way queefs , cuz they can label me a great big peen for the way I say my screams but that’s only cuz they have labias and bleed and menstruate in their vajayjays sheesh……

Thanks for the videos Freddie. We get a stingray wandering into our canal every once in awhile & they are so graceful with their powerful tails. We are situated between the Keys & West Palm Beach & recognize many of the fishing spots in the videos. If you're looking just to catch fish, like a pot luck fishing trip, you can't beat the reefs where there are so many different species. When the breeze is from the northwest, sailfish follow the baitfish, Way offshore, you'll find big swordfish.
Keep those videos coming & I wish you all the best in 24!

Not too much surprises me anymore but I'm shocked to learn internet "influencers" make hundreds of thousands of dollars for little more than their opinion. Brilliant or asinine? Or both?
I made 6 phone calls to fellow vets this morning to wish them a happy/safe New Year. I also made sure they were aware fireworks would be lit off tonight & that they were merely fireworks. Remember to keep your doggies close to you if they don't care for the loud noises.
I miss Eminem not performing. I do enjoy Bruno Mars & sheepishly say I didn't know him before he performed at the Super Bowl. I'll watch Padma Lakshmi anytime anywhere.
Top shelf actors are making their millions without leaving the studio doing voice-overs in animated flicks. Hank Azari has been doing it for years on the Simpsons but now we have Eddie Murphy, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp et al. doing all these kid flicks. Better get the money now before AI replaces many of them.
Talked to my little sister today & she told me of a Brooklyn dispensary that delivers ganja to Rockland County, NYC for just a $15 delivery charge. That's a 44 mile drive & takes a little over an hour. So you order their products online & pay using all the available payment services except checks. She made her purchase at 11:45 AM & they promised delivery by 7 PM last night. The guy arrived @ 6:50 PM. Is this common in other states?
I'm sure we had certain duties growing up as kids. I'm not talking about cleaning your room or running out to get a container of milk. I'm talking about something you had to do on the same day at the same time each week like cutting the grass. My family duty was on Saturday at 3 PM I had to pick up our meat/chicken for the weekend from Sam's the Butcher. Sam would give me a slice of bologna to chow on while he packaged our stuff. If I was running late, Moms would call Sam to see if I had gotten there yet & he would always cover for me saying something like "I'm still grounding the hamburger meat. He'll be home soon." Sam the Butcher was a cool dude to me when I was 13 or 14. About 5 years later, Sam got busted for running poker games in the back of his store. Who knew?
Was out with a few old buddies during the holidays & we all like chicken wings & headed south to Hollywood, FL not far from Gulfstream Racetrack to a place called Ricky's. We go to a bunch of different wing joints during the year. One guy brought his son & boy did we break his balls. The kid wanted boneless wings because he doesn't like getting wing sauce all of his hands. WUT? WUT? WUT? I'm sure we'll never see his son again.
So that's it for me. I've shared everything I know with you & because of that we are all much smarter. I hope in the New Year we become more respectful and tolerant of others. However, it's also our duty to bury the a-holes that just want to troll others & cause good folks to leave the Covers forums.
Good health & happiness to you all.
