Nice try. I said on certain things their very rigid but outside of the iron clad fundamentals they can be very random. Random to the point that everything becomes so fragmented that it causes extreme frustration.
Worked with a guy that actually believed in the weirdest Jack Chick stuff you could imagine.



He knew that the Pope was the antichrist and the Catholic Church was the whore of Babylon ect. Probably thinks it's Trump now or something like that.

Thing is he is a good bush pilot and was a missionary in Port Heiden where he lived with his wife and kids, later he moved to Homer. I got weathered in there while fishing and became friends him and a lot of the natives. Pretty soon I was flying all over the state with him helping build churches and supporting hurting communities.
The guy is a great carpenter and has a stellar work ethic that comes from his Mennonite upbringing. Unfortunately he was always involved in the most fundamentalist groups in the state so I ended up knowing all of them also.


I hung out with the whole deal as long as I could but it became pretty much unworkable for everyone. Fundamentalism is it's own worst enemy and just keeps causing split after split. We're still friends, I have a heck of a lot of respect for him but dang it's bin one heck of a education.
They have no idea what to think of me hanging out with the Orthodox Church but probably figure it's a good match for a guy that believes in evolution and not literalism.

Oh, and then there's Peter Ruckman the King James Only guy.
There's a real treat, a guy hasn't truly lived until they got the pleasure of hanging out with these guys.
Somehow they got a footing in the village of Sand Point that I was king crab fishing out of, but that's a whole other story.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone in this thread was secretly rip?

I'm gonna show you guys a visual representation of this bitcoin insanity. Back during the tech bubble, basically adding a "dot.com" to your name would make your stock soar. Just saying those magic words. Bitcoin is the same. These companies all of a sudden announce they are no longer what they were, but are now blockchain tech companies. Those words alone make the stock soar. And then crash. Here are just 3 of these companies:

And this one is the most fuckin blatant. lol. A beverage company. Now says they are blockchain.

There's a lot of interesting historical data about this sort of thing, usually in some tech-related field which is seeing a lot of investment mania. Before dotcom there was the "tronics boom". Corps would add "space" or "electronics" or both to their name and suddenly go up 6x in price.
 
Not sure about this Condit walk-in music. This doesn't bode well.
 
Already regretting buying this ppv.

how much did they have to pay Condit to ditch RATM for Sap Rap?

And I'm not anti WMMA but im getting tired of them adding in random fights into the beginning of PPV's to gain exposure; that's what free tv is for. PPV's should be exclusively best of the card. 70 bucks should buy that.
 
Khabib's gnp is so sick when he lets loose. Reminds me of prime Fedor.
 
Kahbib turns the octagon into a prison shower and his opponents into 120 lbs accountants in jail for tax evasion or drinking and driving.
 
Can't decide who to cheer for in the main event. Was thinking Cyborg going in. Wavering now.
 
Parillo and tito are actually doing a great job of cornering. JP was always a great trainer but terrible corner guy -- seems to have worked on that.
 
Proud of Holly, she fought really well. Cyborg put a stop to her footwork in a hurry, very impressive.
