By the way, despite voting twice for Beshear and aggressively masking in indoor/outdoor public spaces for the past 4.5 years, my family all has COVID right now.

I’m sure my haterz are loving this one.

 

[CSC81]

To the points earlier made, have had this conversation with friends more than once recently: “moms” just don’t look like they did back in the day. All the reasons why have been stated: better access to nutrition and training advice, the average non-competing female no longer being scared to lift heavy weights, social media, etc.

It used to be there there was the one or two friends that had the “hot mom.” Now they’re everywhere.

I’m a fan. 😎

Seriously can we not legislate the max age a President can be when he takes office? The job already ages them in dog years. It is ridiculous that we keep electing people that should be winding things down and enjoying retirement to most powerful position in the free world.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Holy cow, you are young enough not to have been alive (or at least not remember) the attempt on Reagan?

Thought you were much older / closer to my age (58). Did you start posting on Cat Paw in your teens, or something?

I'm 43. Born a few months after the Hinkley attempt. I started posting in college, I guess, early 2000s. We are all just old now.

Your entire family is double vaccinated, has all 9 boosters, and has taken 4 doses of Paxlovid. You don't have COVID, obviously.

Folks, reckoned I’d take a break from mainly lurking and give some Tuesday randos:

-Politics

-Did a golf trip to Park Mammoth down in Bowling Green a week ago. Place is pretty sick. Kentucky needs more golf destinations like that. It’s truly a shame how limited our selection of great public courses is in this state. Go to any of Louisville’s surrounding cities, all of them blow our public golf out of the water.

-Least surprising thing to find out is that BRax’s son absolutely rakes at the plate. Kid’s rizz has to be off the charts. Worst thing to ever happen to Baby Gronk.

-Was weird to see how airlines were affected by the CrowdStrike mishap last week. Im not sure of the differences in how passenger airlines and cargo airlines operate, but at UPS we experienced the outage and still were able to get our fleet out with minimal delay. Next day we were back to normal.

-Summer Olympics are dope. No other sporting event on earth better demonstrates the skill gap between a regular Joe and a highly skilled professional. Just watch Olympic ping pong

-Football. Soon 😎

Randoms

-- Shapiro of PA is the obvious choice as a running mate. Beshear doesn't move the needle at all. 80 and Bernie, you're safe.

-- Had a dream this UK basketball team upcoming runs circles around Duke.

-- If the NBA runs TNT out of the NBA, Adam Silver should be fired. Shaq, Charles, Kenny, and Ernie are too integral to the coverage.

-- Lexington Restaurant Week is a joke.

-- Good riddance, Kim Cheatle. That was about as bad as one can look testifying on Capitol Hill this side of Rafael Palmeiro.

-- Adrian Beltre was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame over the weekend. Favorite thing about this guy was that he HATED having his dome touched.

Those were some dark days. The unsuccessful Reagan assassination attempt followed, sadly, by the successful one on Buckwheat.

Nice to be at this point of the summer and not reading news that 2 or 3 of our new crop of hot shot teenage 5 star phenoms are dealing with " nagging injuries" , Cal hasn't seen them but we get informed they won't be ready for the start of the season with no timelines. Then the speculation if some of them will ever play here or not begins.

I've enjoyed the scramble and the changes that have happened but I'm also enjoying the quiet now and looking forward to football.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

My next door neighbors “ain’t from here.” They moved from Nevada to SouthCentral for reasons I haven’t investigated yet. Anywho the mom/wife (mid 30s) will sometimes lay out in the backyard in a thong bikini, much to the criticism of my wife but to the enthusiastic delight of my 14 year old son.

As a matter of fact, my son has taken up with their 12 year old son: Being a good neighbor/mentor, showing him around the neighborhood, introducing him to the other kids in the ‘hood. Did I mention they also have a 15 year old daughter? He’s amazed.

Which begs the question: did Bradshaw shoot himself in the foot before the season started?

 

[The_Godfather]

Full replay of the Kentucky - Tennessee football game to end the dream season of 1977.

Also, the news clip at the beginning of the video are of my parents. My dad taught our parakeet to say "Go Big Blue! Beat Tennessee!". Never been prouder!

Travis Perry is driving a blacked out Escalade with a TP11 UK vanity plate so safe to say he’s ok with the spotlight.

I thought it had to do with flight crew scheduling systems being the main culprit. Similar to what happened with Southwest several years ago.

So you prob graduated UK law in 93 or 94. If so, if you were one of the people who had to leave a final because the fire department evacuated the building after some dumbass decided to burn a copy of the tax code outside, well, apologies.

LOL [where have the emojis gone, anyway?]. Actually graduated 1991. I don't recall that story, but it's a good one.

Ok. One year ahead of me. This event happened in 1992. A buddy and I were involved, and he got nailed because the scorched tax code that he threw in the garbage had his name and number written in the front cover. He went all G Gordon Liddy and never ratted me out.

 

[Century Cat]

That is awesome / hilarious. Especially since it was law school. But hey, you can't restrict free expression.

The big problem with Elly this season is that he goes months and months and months without a hit.....


March/April = .279/.385
May = .208/.298
June = .266/.339
July = .290/.389



FYI: MLB averages this year = .243 / .312

Someone has to watch the baby while his wife is shooting hoops in the driveway.

Dammit PTI, pump the brakes, it’s not even October, anything can happen before then.

 

[Irish Beck]

Don't worry, EDC will go 1-12 in early August, UKO will see his shadow and find the guts to come in here and rapid fire three consecutive posts about how EDC sucks (with the whole cherry tree included) then slink back into self loathing and posting selfies on Facebook to prove he's "doing alright", only to be heard from again once football starts.

While Calipari remains a dirty word in my home, it is pretty awesome that three Cats will be representing America in the Olympics -- Bam, Booker, and AD.

You could truly see this coming.

Greene, Lodolo, and Abbott at the top of the order. Man, what a great rotation.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

While the K/9 go down, even better that also the H/9, HR/9 are down. Learning how to pitch. What a great contract.

Joe Burrow apparently likes the new Eminem album a lot more than ol’ MaxPowerrr did.

 

[wcc31]

- I mean F Delta but man I feel bad for these poor public-facing employees right now.

- After hearing anecdotal evidence from Ribs and my buddy down in the ATL, these Southern suburban hussies seem like a different breed.

- “28” is the best track on Zach Bryan’s new record.

- You know when you go through something traumatic like Covid-19, you realize what’s truly important in life. I can’t stop thinking about Brock Vandergriff. I hope that kid has it. Brilliant QB play and we’re interesting.

 

[cole854]

By the way, despite voting twice for Beshear

So when he destroyed our economy the first time, you wanted to see if he could do it again??

 

[krazykats]

- According to NCAA25 UK is in fact very damn good at football. 7, 6 and 5 are studs at WR and #4 is a stud at RB and #12 is a stud at QB.

Defense is very good too!

- Sturgill album just is. Assuming his voice box issue is impacting his brand because he does not sound like Waylon anymore.

- Enjoyed Travis Tritt at Log Still Distillery. I hadn’t tried any of their juice yet but had an opportunity to buy some barrels and passed.

Monks Road Wheated is solid, and the Rye made a good Old Fashioned. Witnessed too many folks not used to brown water at an outdoor concert and the wife was not pleased with some of the sloppiness from a few of the “hookers”.

All the classics were played though so I was a happy Ky boy.

- I posted about a month ago the political season had been pretty mild, and I’ll be damned if this wasn’t possibly the wildest month in politics in my life.

- I’ve never wanted the Cubs to go all in on one of these big 8 year 320M type Free Agent deals but I want Juan Soto bad enough I’d be cool with an all in offer.

- 8YO had travel team tryouts yesterday and I’m pretty sure he’ll make it and I really want to see him smack a ball with that upgraded bat, but I’m really hoping the travel schedule does not interrupt fall plans too much.

- Our just turned 18YO niece has decided to bail and move out to a friends house. She is mad at me as the house we are building doesn’t have room for her really, and we want her in the dorms and at UL, but have her until the Janruary semester to come to grips with it.

According to her temper tantrum she can’t trust us, we’ve never done anything for her and the only people in her life that she can trust to be there for her are her dad, boyfriend of 7 months, and her meth head mom she hasn’t talked to in 6 months after declaring she was moving back to her moms house but the mom couldn’t make it happen through the court system.

Nevermind when we took her in she was suicidal, a complete outcast at school with only 2 goth friends, and scared to death of her own shadow.

Currently though she graduated HS early and has completed 24 college hours before her official first semester. Worked her butt off all summer with 2 jobs 1 being UPS that pays for 100% of her school now, and just paid for her first car(beside the one we let her use the last year) to avoid car payments while in school on her own.

We’ve clearly done “nothing” for this girl and are abandoning her.

- Speaking of the new house I dread moving. It’s never really bothered me before but I’m getting too damn old for it.

- I need a new challenge in life. Bored of this routine and as we drop from 7 kids to 5 and head into structured school schedule life I want something new to keep going forward.

-I predict grandparenthood in your future

Your home life stories give me anxiety.

 

[krazykats]

It’s funny you say that. Last week I was talking to a distant cousin I had spoke with in years.

Catching him up on ALL stuff extended into about a 3 hour conversation which at some point he joked that he figured with my lifestyle as a kid I’d be dead by 50 and nothing has changed expect how he’d expect me to kill over.

After my “so how you been doing” he basically said he had been working, drinking beer and fishing………..that’s about it!

I'm enjoying watching Aaron Harrison hitting logo 3s again at Rupp. Nice little summer event.

 

[thabigbluenation]

^not as much I missed the Andrew Harrison dribble dribble just outside the 3pt line, then one dribble just inside the line for the 18 footer! Drive, nope, step back, hell nah! 18 ft long 2!

I do like watching these guys play tho.

Did Cal not recruit the younger Kanter?
