-Well done, KL! Keep it up. Would love to get a video of it.

-Tigers -4.5 tonight over Huber's boys. Had to jump on that. I think X by 2-3 TDs.

-Weather is *perfection,* a term I use in jest because women, like most things, ruined it.

[glass of champagne on a patio]

OMG perfection.

Perfection.

This. Perfection.

Christ.

-Gotta get to to work. A couple hours spent on BMW Week 4 this morning put me behind the 8 ball.

-Navy blue is a criminally underrepresented color in uniforms.

 

[GrandePdre]

And I’m a big Jack Black guy.

So is Jack Black.

 

[rudd1]

-just gutted a sales guy for back to back calling me...if I don't answer you it's because I'm busy. It's literally one of very few things that throw me immediately into a murderous rage. 0-60 in a heartbeat.

 

[pretzel__logic]

I dealt with a pro se plaintiff recently who thought that emailing me, then emailing my adjuster, client, and anyone else he could think of if I didn't respond within an hour was the best way to get his case advanced. I don't know who taught him that was appropriate, but I'm assuming it was whoever told him to ask Google, Inc., Esq. how damages are assessed in a given state and then to rely on the U.S. Code it spits out. Every time I saw his name I felt myself turning into the She Hulk.

The judge also hated him and the judgment reflected it so that took the sting out, but DAMN, dude.

I once had a guy report me to my director because he called 6 times and I never called him back. I was out sick on a Friday and Monday and he called 6 times over the course of 14 work hours.

Each voice mail was increasingly angrier and threatening when I checked them on Tuesday.

 

[SAECATFAN]

A few years ago I got a voicemail from an "out in the state" attorney who sounded like Rosco P. Coltrane because his client, a 60+ year old woman who had no legal rights to a commercial space she was occupying and not paying rent for, said I threatened to kick her ass.

I've got it saved. It's great.

Voicemails infuriate me in general. I’m a big proponent of solving problems over the phone, but please have the courtesy to email me in advance and ask to schedule the call for a mutually convenient time.

The audacity of people to think they can interrupt my flow by cold calling at any given time, whenever they damn well please…

The audacity of people to think they can interrupt my flow by cold calling at any given time, whenever they damn well please…

I never, ever listen to voicemails but I also don't return any phone calls unless (1) I know who called so leaving a voicemail was unnecessary or (2) the caller leaves a voicemail.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Business Development pro here. My overall strategy with a completely cold prospect is to email 2-3 times sharing the info I want, then picking up the phone and dialing.

Strikes and gutters. Most people are decent, but I don't mind being hung up on, shit on, yelled at, etc. It's all a part of it.

I don't cold call on a whim without providing some relevant information first. I've found the email gives them a chance to see who I am, what I do, etc., so if they answer (most phones recognize the # from the email), I assume they're ready to talk. If not, I leave a voicemail and maybe try back in a week or so. 6-7-8 touches with no response, then I give up.

Editorial note: (good) salespeople (like me) deserve a lot more respect than they're given in the grand scheme of the economy. I mean, the dealmakers who know how to push in spite of *massive* headwinds make it all happen. Requires a hell of a skillset and some thick skin. JMO.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Do you drop the trivia about the first catch in a night game when it's over 85 degrees at PJCS?

 

[SAECATFAN]

That's an old family joke. My Dad is still very proud of realizing it that night in 1998.

 

[cole854]

So people get angry emails and voice mails....wow, imagine that happening in the workplace. (using my best pti voice)

 

[wcc31]

Don't think I've seen anyone over 18 admit that.

He stars in my favorite movie of all-time -High Fidelity. Dude has a lot of rope from me.

 

[wcc31]

Have you ever been to Auburn? Just wondering.... as I have spent tons of time on Alabama and Auburn's campus and the Plains is better IMO. Bama has them on gameday by a nose.

Can’t say I have.

If it's more than 50cc's you have to register it, and obtain a motorcycle license.

Yeah that’s why mine is 50ccs and I won’t drive it except for Lex or around the neighborhood. A LOT of people have them here because they have DUIs they never took care of or don’t want the govt knowing where they are if they had

MARATHON, Fla. -- A boat captain has been charged with manslaughter in a Memorial Day parasailing crash in the Florida Keys that killed a 33-year-old Illinois woman and injured her young son and nephew.

Daniel Gavin Couch, 49, was booked into the Monroe County Jail on Thursday and was being held on a $100,000 bond.

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...n-charged-fatal-parasailing-accident-90374140

I said when it happened he’d be charged because you “never cut the line!”. Someone on here posted a video about cutting the line like it’s a thing you do. Nope and I said it then. Bro is going to prison most likely. One of my besties down here had two people die parasailing when a storm popped up. Luckily he has well off parents and they’ve got the best attorneys money can buy in Miami and he’s still free but has it hanging over his head and that has to be miserable going to be at night not knowing when the hammer falls.

-Watching these Ruskies pack up all my stuff (the most appropriate thing ever here Russians are everywhere) is the most BITTERSWEET thing I’ve ever witnessed. Way harder than leaving Kentucky originally.

Pretty good odds coming in from Vegas that I’ll live in Florida again at some point.

I could leave everything about KW, downtown area, high school atmosphere for relationships and friends, drinking has to be done with all activities, etc. but my gym, boat days, my friends…it’s TOUGH. It’s the correct move for now though.

-Buying an RV and traveling with my dog from city to city for a few months at a time slinging drinks to replenish the funds is def still on the table though. #VagabondBoys.

 

[NotchLickKat]

I went to school with a stoner who moved to Florida, bought a boat and started a parasailing biz.

Come fly with Kirk

 

[roguemocha]

Seems like a great guy not helping them and trying to flee…

Guarantee he hadn’t changed the line in way too long. That’s the only reason a line snaps on a “normal” day. He touched.

 

[roguemocha]

If you all ever want to parasail in Florida please ask. I can send you to real deal capts with which that won’t happen. Destin, boyton beach, laudy, KW, etc. Please never go parasailing in Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, etc.

 

[krazykats]

Took the whole family parasailing this summer, and the guides explained to us part of the training was to go 1000 foot and cut the line in order to experience what kind of time they have to react and “try” to save someone who’s line breaks.

Absolutely insane training tactic, but like they said how else can you train for it.

My 6YO went up with me and had a blast! Honestly asked if we could never go back down, but in honest 6YO fashion his only worry if we actually never did go back down to the boat was “what happens if I poop up here with no toilet”.

I already did it a couple years ago otherwise I would have after these stories. Especially coupled with how lame it was anyway.

It came out later in another story that he leaned back against the lever releasing the spool lock and didn't realize until they were floating toward land.

Kirk was a dandy, RIP. This wasn't the only time he made news.

And I gotta say Rob, that is the worst effing sweater I've ever seen. It's a COSBY sweater, a COSBY sweater! Did Laura let you leave the house like that?

I can only imagine how badass a family beach vacation trip with the krazykats clan would be.

- indoor skydiving
- bungee jumping
- homemade matching custom designed t-shirts
- olde timey western photo
- dinner at joe's crab shack
- glass bottom boat tour
- all you can eat pancake brunch
- ripley's believe it or not
- bumper cars
- glow in the dark mini-golf
- segway tour
- family friendly magic and comedy show
- wax museum
- alabama tribute band
- pirate ship cruise



But anyhoo. Have fun in Myrtle Beach this year!!!

Beats running 50 miles like an albino Kenyan for recreation, imo.

Totally understand why they’d do that but if the line breaks you’re working with an old line or in wind so high you shouldn’t be flying anyway. Don’t get why they’d need to train for a situation you have no control over once it’s done and should never happen. I mean, train for it, but if someone flys away you’re touched. All you can do is drive close to them and hope they land without hitting a building or *cough* a bridge. The LAST thing you do is cut the line and even then unless everyone on the boat will drown because it’s taking on water you don’t. You call the CG and FWC a mayday and they come super fast and you all live to work and play another day.

Okay brody, well they immediately hit the water which is BEST CASE SCENARIO and they were 20-40 feet up. Let’s see a video of them doing it when as you said they were out 1000’ of line. That was like 200. When you’re up 600-1000’ of line you sail off into the unknown with no one controlling anything but the wind.

It’s easy to track down someone in the water but guess what? The people that hit a building or a bridge were NOT in the water. They were flying with nothing to stop them, see how that works? Physics and stuff.

but what do I know, I only did it for years and you have YouTube videos? 🤷🏼‍♂️ god this is a dumb debate.

- Worked from home today, so I ordered a pizza for lunch. Very disgusting, but no one knows but me and the pizza guy.

- Speaking of which, the pizza guy’s car broke down out front of my house. I was eating this za, and I heard a bunch of goddamnits and whatnot from outside. Looked out the window, and there was a ~25 year old Grand Marquis out front with the hood up.

- definitely considered for a moment if there was anything I could do for this poor fella. But I’m not a good mechanic, and I wasn’t going to give him my vehicle, and I wasn’t going to invite this greaser in. So I did a Larry David head shake and went back to eating my za, and got on another zoom. Bacon, onion, double jalapeño. He just burned some Winston’s on the curb and waited for the tow truck.

- Was taking a depo yesterday and asked the plaintiff, a gay man, what kind of emotional distress the defendants allegedly caused him. He looked me in the eye and said, I pooped water out of my ass five times a day. I said sir, that sounds more like a physical symptom, I asked about emotional. He responded, you think me shitting water out of my ass doesn’t have an emotional element?

Touché sir. I moved on.

- kooky, get a dachshund. One of the most difficult dogs there are - really smart, really stubborn, huge assholes, but the most loyal and loving companion you will ever find. A very German experience.

- speaking of which, my wife loves when I ask her if she has any German in her (she doesn’t). So I ask her if she wants some. It doesn’t usually work, but I get a kick out of asking.

- I tell you what, I can only keep up this good citizen, lawyer, family man facade for so long. I need to do something bad.

 

[krazykats]

Um, I wasn’t debating, just linking a video the guys said was of them on YouTube.

I guess because someone else mentioned his old buddy cutting a line means everything is about that. I never mentioned that, I simply said the guys we went out with explained how they were trained.

Sorry that made you feel some sort of way.

Enjoy the gay island, scoot scoot!

I like to tell my wife I'm going on a catch and release beaver hunt to see if she's even vaguely paying attention to me.

• I think the juxtaposition of my elegant Nubian princess, 125lb Rhodesian Ridgeback with an absurd, over-bred, über cute, dinky dachshund would be one of life’s guilty pleasures. Obsessed with these pups.
• Would name Vienna or Nathan…. Or Snake Plissken
• Currently enjoying Bardstown Ferrand (chocolate and fig bomb) and OFSBBP (oak funk hazmat).
• Loaded up Solostove with wood, but watched Aaron Judge instead. Hoping the Kates allow me for a drink or two tomorrow night outside.
• Apple picking tomorrow morning in upstate NY. Pie.
• Down 25. Still fat, but transformation is marathon -not sprint. Done it before.
• My super-awesome, Job Captain from India is getting deported because of a technicality on his work Visa application. Beautiful human being treated worse than illegals posted up in the Port Authority Bus terminal. 🎱
• Bonobo in Brooklyn Sunday

 

[btodd0224]

Never set up voicemail. If it’s that damn important text me then I’ll decide if I concur. If not you get calls from other dumbasses numbers that did the same and have a good day figuring out what happened. One of the many simple pleasures in life.

Even though I love to gamble I’ve never done a daily 3. Lady in checkout line bought one so I thought I’d try 3 separate sets of numbers. After losing the first 2 days have hit it 3 times in a row. Knowing those numbers won’t hit again cashing in for awhile but will indulge at a later date.

Weather is perfect, enjoy!!
