This happened to me when I was on a jury. Guy knifed a girl. Girl did not show up to testify. Mistrial so the guy got off. My take: Based on the evidence presented to the point of the mistrial, I would have said innocent. But I tell you this guy was the meanest looking person I have ever seen in my life. He was guilty of something. The fact that she didn't show up to testify tells me his buddies got to her. Bad dude for sure. Anyway, I was an alternate so I didn't really have to do much and when it was a mistrial, we were all let go. But again, based on the testimony that had been presented by the defense, I would have voted not guilty. It was an unusual case in that the defense went first because the prosecution's star witness was a no show. Defense rested and the star witness was still a no show. Mistrial. mspart

Are you related to Rocket Raccoon? To answer your question - Perhaps TrackWrestling or FloArena? I have not seen that stuff on themat.com forever. There are some historians on the forum here that might be more help. mspart

Koom Bye Ya!!!! mspart

Sounds like this will be confusing for awhile until USAW comes out with a statement. A challenge? Best 2 of 3? If more than one challenger, a round robin tourney? Best 2 of 3? Too many questions. mspart

Oregon does have access to the Pacific Ocean with few ports. The the part of Oregon that wants to be part of Idaho is landlocked. No access to ports. California, yes Top 5 economies in the world. But not the part that supposedly wants to secede. It is a small part of CA and generally an unproductive one unless you include all the farming country which is in the middle of the state. But that is not northern CA. I'm not seeing this happening anytime soon. A proposal is one thing, but no full support is another. And this would take all kinds of support. Redrawing state boundaries is a federal job I imagine. Probably not a lot of support in Congress for this kind of thing. mspart

The Northern CA thing won't happen. They won't become another state. They would have to be absorbed by Oregon or Nevada. The Idaho thing is not really a thing. No one lives in eastern Oregon (population wise). It is a barren wasteland. Why would Idaho want that? I don't think either of these has a chance to become real. There was an effort years ago that rural parts of King County, WA wanted to become Cedar County. It also failed. They are ideas but not viable ones in my opinion. mspart

Agreed. Thanks BNW. So it is the challenge that I am confused about. This would have to happen before OTTs. How will that work? mspart

Well, those are 3 awesome samples you have provided. I can smell them through the monitor!! mspart

Must be fraternal twins. mspart

Thanks for the info NHS. I'm getting that Pan Ams is before OTT and last chance is after. So I'm still unclear on the mechanism to choose the guy for Pan Ams. Current WTT member or they have a special fight? Last Chance should be the OTT winner for the weight I'm thinking. mspart

That would be entertaining just the trolling. The matchup as well. mspart

This one in particular I like. mspart

Looking tasty! We use Sweet Baby Rays also but found a better BBQ sauce. Stubb's is really good. mspart

They did it for Prince for years. I think it is funny too. mspart

https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/hillary-clinton-calls-for-formal-deprogramming-of-trump-cult-members-republican-gop-maga-democrat-presidential-election WASHINGTON (TND) — Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling for the “formal deprogramming” of “MAGA extremists.” ... “Sadly, so many of those MAGA extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump who has no credibility left by any measure,” she said. “He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself against civil actions and criminal actions. When do they break with him?”. So she wants to do communist concentration camps for deprogramming and reprogramming of people. That is essentially what she is saying. So the question is, what is a MAGA extremist? Remember, MAGA means Make America Great Again. Is there anyone that wants America not to be great? Is that a thing? Are there really people out there that want America not to be great? 1. What is a MAGA extremist? 2. Is this different from supporting Trump? 3. Is what she saying really deprogramming people from supporting Trump? 4. Is the 1st Amendment to the Constitution alive or not? My thoughts are she cannot be serious in wanting to go down this road. A formal deprogramming of thought? This is as anti American as it gets. If other Ds jump on this band wagon, these are the people you know you should not support. They are the extremists. They are the people to fear. They are the people that should not be trusted to run the government. This has to be the most ludicrous suggestion ever made by a supposedly serious politician. That's my 2 cents and I guess I will have to go get deprogrammed for thinking this way. mspart

So I'm confused about how the person will be chosen to represent the US at 57 and 65 at Pan Ams and at the last chance? Does anyone know how that works? mspart

By then most people may be fed up with the Olympics and what they have done to themselves and it might not be too controversial if wrestling is kicked out and replaced by whatever new and up and coming hacky sack type thing comes along. BTW - I was at a wrestling camp as a kid. Guest was Fred Fozzard. The guy was an absolute specimen of natural athletic ability. He had this new game that the makers shared with him before going into production. He called it hacky sack and taught a few of the guys how to play. He was pretty good at it and it just wasn't around but he pretty much mastered it. I will never forget that guy, he was a machine. mspart

Bemidji PD gets them all and crushes them I hope. mspart

BBWWTAM - Biden's Border wall with Trump's appropriated money. Ha ha!! mspart

Yes, this probably won't change. Everyone can enter as an asylum seeker without cause and they'll work that out when the courts can get around to it. mspart

It is a nice city, just huge. Now I was there for 3 days only so I'm not a great resource. I generally just don't like big cities and the thought of living in them gives me hives. I live near Seattle, but not in Seattle. I lived near Minneapolis but not in Minneapolis. I lived near Honolulu but not in Honolulu. I have visited big cities all over, Singapore being one of them. The heat and humidity didn't kill me there and there is plenty of that. It was a nice place and I know expats that are very happy there. It's just not my cup of herbal tea. mspart

I've been there. It is a big city, clean too. But it is a big city. It was nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there unless I could live outside the city, and there is not much land there to do that. mspart

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/biden-says-poor-kids-are-just-bright-just-talented-white-n1040686 Former Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd in Iowa on Thursday that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids," Biden said it so he must be racist. To be clear he said this as Candidate Joe, not President Joe. mspart

Well, it is a moot point now. Biden is building the wall now, all of the sudden, and ignoring all those necessary environmental laws. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4239648-biden-administration-waiving-federal-laws-border-wall-construction/ Truly a stunning reversal of policy. Obviously the border is not secure like they have been saying since 2021. mspart
