Hooters closes 41 locations. None in California
Mark Davis replied to TimHauck's topic in The Geek Club
Outdated business model. You can find more scantily clad women walking around your neighborhood market these days. He may as well open a Blockbuster up. -
We had it here with Roy Moore. At least Roy Moore lost. We had people justifying voting for him for a variety of reasons. It's funny when the sides flip, people's morality changes. The truth is becoming more and more that the dominant party in a state can nominate the most despicable person and they will still win the general due to the polarization of our politics.

I'm all for him. I hope he and his allies strongarm their way to enact whatever they want.

Aggressive Hep-C/ Herpes/ COVID monkey on the loose in Mississippi
Mark Davis replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
I know that area pretty well. Those folks don't want Hep C from some monkey, they prefer to get it the good old fashioned way, by reusing needles. Last I heard only one was left unaccounted for. I guarantee you there are rednecks with rifles out there hunting that one right now. -
Horrible managing by Toronto had them rolling out a lineup that was sub MLB standard for most of extras. If there's a 5% chance that pinch runner at 1st is going to score when the other person couldn't but a 50%+ chance the game is going to continue beyond that inning, it's remarkably dumb to do it. He ran for most of his best hitters. Even more egregious was he burned Kirk for a PR, then chose to bunt, which failed. If you're going to bunt, you expect the guy to be able to get a lead and advance when the 1B crashes. The fact Straw couldn't execute is even more evidence but even if you assume success, every person who played baseball at any competitive level knows when that 1B goes to crash and you're being sacrificed over you take a huge secondary walking lead. You can go as far as the 2nd baseman coming in behind you. You shouldn't need a PR. Especially if that PR is also a catcher, while Kirk is incredibly slow, it's not like the backup C was Vince Coleman or Willie McGee from the 80s coming out there.

He was hoping something would change but with Mamdani's win inevitable, it's an effort to bend the knee and ask that the far left not come for him next. I'm no Jeffries fan, but he's not far out enough for the wing that is bringing Mamdani in. The only other question is will Schumer do it as well and I'm not sure that he will because I think he knows they are coming for him either way.

What's your most prized collectable?
Mark Davis replied to The Elevator Killer's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah I mean for most people who are around our age, few are ahead. I definitely got ahead during that time. Around the start of Covid I took an interest in finishing that old 86 set again I used to have and buy and sell in for money while in college. I got some 10's. One I did buy/flip was the Steve Johnson. I realized it was low pop. I bought one and when things got nuts I put it out there and sold it. I bought it for around $330 in late 2020 and got $8K for it in April 2022. I wish I had bought all of them up I could find rather than just 1. They were like low 80s in pop count for 10s. So that lick definitely helps. I picked up my Jordan as an investment for $5350 back in late 2019. I'm obviously way up but not near what I was. I had Heritage Auctions ready to do my set with stickers at the time but the packaging to send to them was onerous. I should have followed through because my normal business was stalled during Covid. My set was top 50 back then, I just checked it and I"m bumped down to 54. It's weird b/c the valuable ones just sit in a box at the bank. I have that set all 9's and 10's, then stickers with a 9 Jordan. I am missing the Jabbar. The estimate on the auction was I'd get around $100K (I can't recall if the Johnson 10 was still in the set or if I'd sold it and put a 9 in it's place). Talk about missing the boat. -
It’s baffling.

What's your most prized collectable?
Mark Davis replied to The Elevator Killer's topic in The Geek Club
I can remember the days of those old team bags of Star cards. I still have a couple, I think I have the Kings and Bucks sealed from 1986. I have an 86 Fleer set in the registry. I was top 50 but may have slipped some. Haven't checked in quite awhile. So stupid not to sell during Covid. -
What's your most prized collectable?
Mark Davis replied to The Elevator Killer's topic in The Geek Club
Most valuable probably a PSA 9 graded 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card. Most prized, either Lance Berkman's AA BP/alternate jersey or a cracked Louisville Slugger name stamped bat from my since deceased HS teammate when he got a short stint with the KC Royals. -
I don't get too worried about that. Believe it or not I've heard of people who would cheerlead for that scumbag Abrego Garcia to get some of our money too.

We Just Saw an Umpire Miss 24 Calls…In One Postseason Game
Mark Davis replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
He's got nothing on Ken Williamson, who could make a WWE referee look competent and impartial https://www.on3.com/news/report-sec-official-ken-williamson-permanently-suspended-after-controversial-calls-in-auburn-vs-georgia-game/ -
I'm just shocked to see we are all on the same page of not wanting the government to take more of our money.

He was on CNN back to back with Chris Cuomo. Since those days I’ve actually come to enjoy listening to Cuomo even if I frequently don’t agree with him but Lemon is off the rails.

If 10% of moms didn't allow their kids to play football....
Mark Davis replied to TheNewGirl's topic in The Geek Club
We already are seeing this in some of the suburbs. This is as football rabid of a place as you can be from. But when it comes to football, more parents are steering their kids towards other sports even if they want to watch football on Saturdays. Of course it helps now that the AHSAA has become essentially a deal where if you're good enough, your parents are going to end up with great jobs in one of the city school systems where the booster money is nuts for a high school program. So in many cases, these systems are often importing their players from poorer districts in order to win. -
Hard to believe there had never been a 41-40 game. Those aren't that oddball of final scores.

The first thought I had when I saw this was this is analogous to those Japanese Beetles my rose bushes get. They annoy you, but when you kill one, the scent attracts dozens more. I feel like for every alias of his you kill, he multiplies.

Enjoy the "new" stadium. Old Greer Stadium near the fairgrounds was a real dump and you needed an armed escort down there.

Illegal Alien Iowa DEI School Superintendent Arrested by ICE -How Deep Does This Go?

Since we are overlooking him being here illegally, what difference does another crime make right? -

Who among us doesn't carry $3K in cash, a loaded gun and knife in the car? I sometimes have one of the three and have on rare instances had two of the three. Dr Roberts hit the trifecta. -
Go have dinner or to a game and get off the internet for awhile. When you're this bitter, it isn't good for your mental health and it's showing.

All these shooters have something in common, they are losers in life. Depression, mental illness, blaming society or the government for their own deficiencies.
