Went down a rabbit hole tonight learning about "cargo cults". The John Frum cult (which survives to this day) is wild. He is not a real person. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frum The religion centering on John Frum arose no later than the late 1930s, when Vanuatu was known as the New Hebrides...

That whole sequence was so good, including Black running to grab a cameraman. The fact that an astute cameraman zeroed in on them so early in their scheme

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread
I'm just having a hard time understanding the concern when the alternative was the status quo. We have a SB winning QB that had a solid season last year and an enigma that will probably not pan out (but is explosive) for $4.5 million in today's league. Watching the Steelers has been a chore for a de...

That lip out by Clark was BRUTAL on 18. Not to mention the near miss eagle on 16. Scheffler shoots 64 with a bad neck and becomes the first to ever win two consecutive Player's Championships.
Clark also finished runner up to Scheffler last week. Ouch.

Paper straws suck. And not in the good way. I will miss the plastic bags for dog waste clean up. But beyond that, they can go and I’d have zero problems. My neighbor has some sort of biodegradable doggie poo bags that comes in a container the size of a really small roll of toilet paper that she att...

Fields and Wilson are collectively cheaper than Trubisky. The Eagles can't get Fields, trade for Pickett, and then we get Fields for a 6th. Khan is dealing.

Purdue goes down in the B1G semi... They managed to only lose by one in overtime despite making ZERO field goals. Officiating was a disgrace.
Iowa State is doubling up Houston 56-28 in the second half of the Big 12 championship. Houston is projected as the #1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament

I wonder how many shots it would take me on 17 at this course. I know I could do it in one, but I’m thinking if I had to hit it 5 times, how many balls would I need? My guess is if I’m playing from the whites (115 yds), I’d need 9-10 balls to make 5 on. My issue would be lack of spin. Especially on...

I ran into a former client (dad of a senior I photographed) yesterday. I hadn't seen him since the photoshoot years ago. I said hello and asked how he was doing. His response, "Just living in Biden's nightmare." No small talk, no hello back or asking how I was, just straight into a political rant. ...
