You either have to be very unlucky or a complete dumbass to get bit by a coral,


Yep. I've seen one in the wild and just kind of watched him slither through the grass for a while. They really are beautiful and it's very rare to see them. Almost all bites are due to handling a mis-identified snake.

I believe all mambas, cobras, taipans are all part of the same family...glad the US doesn't have any of them


They are, and although the US doesn't have cobras, taipans or mambas, we do have coral snakes which are also a part of that same family of snakes (Elapid snakes).
That's awful. No parent should have to bury their child, but cherish the moments that y'all had together and be strong for your little boy.
Good thing BRPD was able to leave their inspection sticker checkpoints and get there so quickly before he had the opportunity to really hurt someone!
"worms shall feed on your ashes" seems intentional and to have some additional meaning. Is there some "worms" alternative meaning on this world that may give this statement some more meaning/context?

So where does everyone stand on if he was actually knighted or if he is making it up?


There's no way he was actually knighted, but I suspect we'll never know for sure. I didn't think we were really supposed to be left wondering though.

Good to know that you have some non-discriminatory bucks around.

:lol: A little ambitious there.
One of the problems with pickleball is that the older ladies in our group always gripe that the ball hurts when it hits them. I can see the foam ball in Typti being more attractive for them that way they don't have to complain when I smash it in their face at the net.
I liked the first episode. It feels more like A Knight's Tale set in the GOT universe than a political GOT spinoff, which is a nice change of pace.

IU's story, turnaround,


There is no doubt that Indiana's story and turnaround is impressive and the stuff made for movies. This has nothing to do with how good the respective teams are, though.

quote:

domination with the teams they beat


Indiana played 6 games against ranked opponents and won those games by an average margin of 15.3 points.

2019 LSU played 6 games against ranked opponents and won those games by an average margin of 16.8 points.

How? I can maybe understand in the winter, but that first 85 degree day when it gets 100 degrees in my truck, any chapstick that I left in there is melted.

Is that why I see this guy on TV commercials? Because he supposed to be funny?


He does some great skits. It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people find him funny.

The names these guys have nowadays lol. The travel ball generation has made it to college and the pros.

:confused:

I only see one Brayden and one Casen. The rest are Steven, Jake, Eddie, Jack, Daniel, etc.

That’s a bad picture of her. She’s a cute girl.

Offense is not as good. Defense is better. They are MUCH better coached.
