Oh that.
Thats some messed up shit.
With great power comes great responsibility says the movies.
I wonder how bad the hollywood industry is with this kind of thing too.
It puts LaRoche in a different light.
Maybe home schooling and baseball around your dad and his pals is better patenting than dropping off you kid at a public school or a private church.

 

Vin Scully on Joe Garagiola: "I will miss his laughter and love for the game"
by Mike Barnes | The Hollywood Reporter — 6 hours ago

The late Joe Garagiola may have come off as a very funny guy, but Vin Scully, who partnered with the former big-league catcher on NBC telecasts in the 1980s, was surprised at first by just how serious he was.

"I was very fortunate to know and work with Joe Garagiola. Boy did he surprise me as a broadcaster," Scully, the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers since 1950, said in a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Joe was always a funny and decent man, but he was a big surprise to me. When we got together in the booth, he was very serious. The part that surprised me was how well prepared he was for each and every telecast. Joe didn’t just rely on his experience as a player, but he did his homework, and all of us benefited from his knowledge and research."

"I will miss his laughter and his love for the game, but most of all, I will miss a deeply religious man who had a great sense of humor."

Garagiola, who turned a stint as a light-hitting catcher in the late 1940s and mid ‘50s into a bounteous television career as a baseball announcer and TV host on the Today show, The Tonight Show and other programs, died on Wednesday in Scottsdale, Ariz, He was 90.

In 1976, Garagiola succeeded Curt Gowdy as NBC’s No. 1 play-by-play announcer to team with former Yankees shortstop Tony Kubek on the network's Game of the Week broadcasts each Saturday afternoon.

In the '80s, he shifted to the analyst chair to team with legendary play-by-play man Scully. He resigned from NBC Sports after he and Scully called the Dodgers’ win over the Oakland A's in the 1988 World Series, memorable for Kirk Gibson's improbable home run in the ninth inning of Game 1.

 

Unfortunately when shit hits the fan that word will take on real meaning here.
I know my historical pov is not the standard model but its more true than truth.
Fact tha people disregard is that vikings have always existed in that area of the world because that is where they originated.
By Viking i mean professional raiders looters rapists murderers that horde up on horses n boats and go a pillaging.
For barbarians this is the height of professionalism.
Nordic Vikings originated around the inland seas that lie between the fertile crescent in the south and where europe and asia meet in the north.
The black and caspian seas are the homeland of a cruel and unusual spirit.
It is the netherrealm.
Black sea was called the sea of strangers. And the caspian the sea of stranglers.
Axenos and hyrcania are the ancient names. The land of wolves and tigers and all sorts of cruel beasts. Animals used to convey the idea of rapacity and terror.

Now these people unite there from the 4 corners of the seas. From the red sea the black sea the white sea and the yellow. They become a golden horde and unite under the muslim banner every time. Even before there was a Muhammad.
But there is always a way to defeat them.

Semper Fidelis

They come to test your faith.
They kill the infidel a death worse than murder.
Infidels arent those that dont believe in Muhammad.
Infidels are those that have no faith.
Faith is the only thing they fear and respect.
We are targets because they can easily see our lack of faith.
Which means that we hold ourselves to be a nation of certain values in which our society is based on.
That base is what we stand on.
When that base is secure we can feel our faith surge as a people.
Without proper footing we are slipping and falling. Chucking and jiving. Dancin the cuban tango.
Our values beliefs and path we walk builds our faith and is our faith.
When we dont walk this way we lose our way.
And a lost faithless people are primed for the picking off.
Because without faith the fighter has to manufacture his will to fight.
And paper tigers trying to fight real tigers will fold around on their own pups.
And thats the best we can do without faith.
False bravado like false piety and false patriotism can be smelled by wolves and sharks alike like blood in water and cries in the night. We are sending the enemy the signals that we are ready to be sacrificial victims.
There is no fighting spirit in the street fighter.
And when they come to test your might you will fail to pass the final fight.
And mortal kombat will fall in fatal fury and there will be blood and fatalities.
But if you prevail in your faith you will be perfect.
And that will be our nations flawless victory.

Only through faith can we win.
Our faith is our strength.
Our lack of faith is our death.
We cant manufacture new faith.
That is illogical
Only following our old landmarks like breadcrumbs to our rock solid foundation can we build a mighty fortress of powerful faith that can withstand the coming onslaught.
Then when we have been in that fortress and weathered the storm our batteries will be recharged and our faith will be perfect.
Those will be the few and the proud.
And our enemies will fall at our feet.

Semper Fi.

 

Its spring time.
Its war time.
For everything there is a season.
Love = war.
If you have heart you will have fighting spirit.
Heart is courage.
When you love you have something worth fighting for.
Something you want to keep safe and protected. Something to conserve.

Everyone should be ready for whats coming.
I mean for whats already metastasizing here.
If you havent been training all this time then you will have to go through hell week.
Basic is always tough.
