A friend had extra VIP passes and I ended up going. Turned out to be a relatively pretty day in the shade. She apparently was a huge John Waite fan and ended up getting one of her albums signed by him. I only knew two of John Waite's songs (notably, my first kiss was at 14, and Missing You was on the radio), but he clearly had a better set. Good band and he sounded pretty much the same. Probably should've been the headliner.

Wilson Phillips (no backing band) sang to instrumental tracks and their harmonies were mostly off, surprisingly. Now, they did have a more recognizable playlist. They sang their four No.1 songs, but also filled out the rest of their set with various covers, including songs by the Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas. Kind of cool that they can keep their relatives' songs alive. I did not know the blonde had married Billy Baldwin, who she pointed out in the audience.

Hoping he stays in-state to play for Coach Cignetti honestly. As long as he’s not playing for Bama.

Agreed. :fingers-crossed:

Side note: he was born in Alabama. So, there are "in-state" ties there, too.
Now, just imagine 250 years from now, when they relocate the bones of Mamdani, AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Cenk Uygur to a mausoleum in Red Square (formerly Central Park) so Commie paupers & peasants can make their government-mandated pilgrimages to worship these socialist visionaries.
So...now you're admitting that Haiti is a shithole country?

That would have been 2 horrific signings.

Yep, a total shite-show. By all accounts, Longstreet & Clark have flashed potential in Spring practices, but are reportedly not ready just yet to face SEC defenses. Would've been a lot of on-the-job-training for them resulting in crucial CFP-deciding losses in Kiffin's first year, if Sorsby would've taken their snaps in spring, then disappeared.

Kiffin was already a villain for leaving Ole Miss during the CFP. Imagine Kiffin also getting a judge to overrule the NCAA to let Sorsby play, then the SEC suggesting they won't play LSU, which forces LSU to cut ties with Sorsby. The hate for Lane would've ben unprecedented. They would've jizzed to see Kiffin with a BK-like 5-loss first season, and the mass portal entrants.

And if Coleman would've been ousted from an already thin Edge group, it might've cost Blake Baker his job, or for sure, some opportunities next coaching-changes cycle.

2026 could've been a worse nightmare than 2025 LSU.

Pardon my ignorance but what is GDCK?

You're not alone.

Even Google ai didn't know the slang acronym. When I finally told google what it apparently means and stated I was surprised it didn't already know the slang, Google ai replied, "Thank you for teaching me this highly specific niche of internet slang by the comment section regarding that viral video.It is a perfect example of how fast online communities create their own nonsensical language."
Here’s video of the live commitment. Says he is recruiting Edge Abraham Sesay to join him (and KJ Green).

I once had a dream I bought two random lottery tickets for me & an older relative. I looked at the ticket I was giving away, and knew it was going to be the winner. It had mostly classic 80s football jersey numbers: 12, 16, 22, 28,34 and 3. Then I woke up.

Fast-forward a week, and he & I are eating at a casino, and realize it's almost time for the powerball drawing. So, I quickly went to the gift shop and bought two random quick-pick tickets. I looked at the numbers, one of them had 12, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 3!!! No lie. It was fate. I told him about the dream. Feeling superstitious, I said if I don't give it to him and keep it for myself, it may not win. He said "We'll just sign the back of the ticket and we'll both be millionaires." We did and later checked the results.

Not one single number came up.
I still remember exactly where I was, in the living room, thinking the game was over, ironing a shirt before a date, then I was jumping up & down and almost burned my shirt. I can't believe it's been 30 years ...or that I dated that butterface.
The NCAA rules are crystal clear that if RJ Luis signed a two-way contract with the NBA, which he did, that he should not be eligible to play for LSU.

But apparently all LSU needs to do is find a La. judge to ignore the NCAA rules and give an injunction, much like TX & MS judges did for Sorsby & Chambliss, despite clear-cut NCAA rules saying they were also ineligible.

Can't wait to see Jay Bilas cry.
If judges are now allowing both Sorsby & Chambliss to play, despite clear cut NCAA rules saying they can't, RJ Luis should get to play, too. LSU just needs to find a La. judge to give an injunction.

She led the USA team also featuring Lay, Joyce Edwards, and Sahara Williams to an undefeated Gold Medal

I am 99.999% sure the US lost their first game, and Lay was missing that first game, for whatever reason, so they had no 4th player to rotate in for freshness. Then, the next day, Lay was playing, but the team barely won, so I stopped watching the tournament cuz I figured it'd be like the disappointing HVL 3x3 teams that fell short of Gold given the early loss & the subsequent close call. This was in early May (2nd or 3rd) which, who knows, may have been a completely different tournament a month ago.

But thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna go check out the final.



EDIT: Here’s the final if anyone else is interested:


Highest Bidder Board makes a better alliteration.
The Suit was always a status symbol for power, particularly at work. But then casual Friday made it optional. Silicone Valley billionaires & sheep made it embarrassing. The Pandemic made it unnecessary. And soft/casual wear slowly became the new work uniform. Unfortunately, the suit is currently just for rituals (funerals, weddings, judge verdicts, etc...)

So, it's not dead & it may make a comeback. A suit now speaks loudly as a rebel/non-conformist. Some tycoon/celebrity/influencer will standout & probably revive the trend.
I think about the fact that our Sun is actually a Star. It is one million times bigger than the Earth, yet it doesn't look that big cuz it is 93 million miles away.

Then I look at those pinpoints of lights in the sky called Stars and realize every single one of them have planets that orbit them, and those stars are actually "Suns" to those orbiting planets. The potential for life existing in those solar systems becomes a bit more tangible if you look at the night sky filled with "Suns".

Not really an actress/singer (Adriana Lima) but hopefully my future ex wife


Yikes! I don’t know what happened to her. Looks like plastic surgery or age or a fast food addiction …or a combination of them all. But she’s unrecognizable, in an ex-wife sorta way.
