50 First Dates

Ziggy Marley's version of The Cars "Drive" alone would put it in contention, but there are 5-6 other gems on that soundtrack...

Your underrated movie line of the night...

From the one with the fish, volume 2. "Sharks don't take things personally, Chief Brody"

Averett is in a ton of trouble....luckily my kid ended up at King...

Averett and King were the two pursing him, and for a long time it looked like he would end up at Averett. Luckily, he and King found each other late in the process and he fell in love. At the time, it felt like a mistake to Mom and and but it turns out King is EXACTLY where he was supposed to be.

I'm not familiar enough with his game...

...to know if he does that much, umm....activity around the ball pre-shot. I'm the guys that routinely calls him Douche-ambo, so of course I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. But he had to know his actions were improving his chances of hitting the damn thing...IMO

Disagry on the hosing....

Watching it live, the missus asked me "is he allowed to stomp around like that"...and she's the casualest of casual golf fans.... ** Edited by JoesterVT at 7/17/2026, 6:06:39 PM

When he reported to OCS, he was issued some things and had to purchase some

They were told to report with about $500 bucks for those initial items. I believe there was a way for candidates in need to get a waiver for that. As for the dress uniform, apparently enlisted marines are issued their initial dress uni but officers must buy them. He will get a $400 uniform allowance when he commissions, but that obviously won't go very far. For what it's worth, they are paid at the E-5 rate during OCS. Still, that dress uniform will consume almost a quarter of his pay... ** Edited by JoesterVT at 7/17/2026, 9:25:52 AM

Closest so far, answer inside

My son apparently got off cheap. His deposit plus final payment totalled just $1510.79, according to bank records. I mean, it's a nice suit of clothes but jeeze.

I'll be passing back through that general area on Sunday, where do I go?

Visiting the boy this weekend and will be headed back that way from Dumfires. If you have a place in mind please share.... Thanks!

Also, where you finding real peaches?

The only thing I can get at Kroger are like fuzzy billiard balls...

Let's play, The Price is Right! USMC edition

Full set of dress blues, everything, with all the belts, doodads, cover, etc. Includes both white and blue trousers and socks, but no shoes. Some degree of tailoring to the individual. What's your bid?

Case in point, check out this match...lol

This is one of my son's matches his last year in high school. Was down 10-2 in a hurry. Ended up getting a fall after going up 20-10. Probably not many freestyle matches in the history of wrestling where one wrestler runs up 18 consecutive points...😳 ** Edited by JoesterVT at 7/14/2026, 7:47:12 AM

Eagle today...

Pretty much solved itself.... Wordle 1,850 2/6* 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

That reminds me of why I generally dislike freestyle

One guy controls the match, scoring early and often, but the other guys scored 8 points in 15 seconds on basically one move.

Another local Interest...Reza Massjouni (Christiansburg, formerly of Bburg)

Into the 16U finals on 6 straight Tech Falls. All but one were over in the first period, and he's not surrendered a single point. ** Edited by JoesterVT at 7/12/2026, 5:10:49 PM
