Mission Impossible: New York City Says It's Finally Cracking Down on Illegal Smoke Shops

One down 2,900-plus to go. The citys in this mess thanks to the total botch Albany made of New Yorks legal pot rollout. I knew what to expect when it came to passing homeless crackheads on every block. I was prepared to not have a car and rely on public transportation everywhere I went. But I had no idea what was coming my way in terms of smoke shops. For one, the sheer number of them is astonishing....

His patience was surely tested during that stretch. Then to bounce back the way I did, its just kind of how I roll. His issue is hes been statistically one of the worst putters on tour this season....

Some Are Born to Sweet Delight, Some Are Born to the Endless Night...

Part 14: Moose Liked Having a Plaything, Especially One as Busty and Curvy as Cindy… Even before we got in the cab, the five of us had a good buzz on. This night felt more festive than other nights, and we were primed and ready for it. Moose and I had been to this club once before. With Cindy under his arm I was hoping he’d be better behaved. I was getting to know her and she was even cooler than I thought....

Thank God! Very Important Study Suggests Using The Internet is Actually Good For Your Wellbeing and Enhances Life-Satisfaction

Daily Mail- Using the internet boosts people’s wellbeing and enhances life-satisfaction, a study suggests. Well suck on that mom and dad. Andrew Przybylski of the University of Oxford (ever head of it?) At least that’s what I’m taking away from the start of this article. I suppose I should maybe read further than the first few sentences before I start dunking on Baby Boomers. I like where your head is at....

Visiting Mt. Rushmore and South Dakota Was A Great Experience

I’ve always wanted to see Mt. It ended up being a really great time. I honestly think that even though I picked last, I “won” the best trip. Before I get into Mt. Rushmore, I have to talk about how wonderful Rapid City is. This is the city that you fly into if you are going to Mt. It’s about 30-40 minutes away. It’s a perfect little city. I loved this town....

After Another Huge Road Win It Is Abundantly Clear That Watching Playoff Celtics Basketball Is Not For The Faint Of Heart

I’d say about 99.9% of the time, that situation is flipped. For whatever reason, this team likes to do things the hard way. Game 3 was the “gotta have it” game, and the Celts played like it. Just like in the MIA series, taking Game 3 is nice, but it is not the goal. You don’t often get second chances in life, so take advantage. Jrue wasn’t just great in this game, he was spectacular....

The Guinness World Record For Oldest Skydiver Is A Battle Of The Titans

Alf originally earned the title of World’s Oldest Skydiver back in 2020 at age 103. Right in the height of COVID. An inspiration to us all. But his record was short lived. Blaschke held onto his crown for a mere 2 years. But against all odds, Blaschke survived long enough to see his record broken by a Swedish woman. A broad of 103 years, 259 days old with the beautiful name of Rut Linnea Ingegard Larsson....

Here's A Closer Look At The Sneaky Sucker Punch That Panthers Lunatic Sam Bennett Delivered To Bruins Captain Brad Marchand, Eventually Knocking Him Out Of Last Night's Game Three

I incorrectly labeled it a rabbit punch at first. Punches to the face that you don’t see coming or expect are sucker punches. It’s dirty as fuck and it sucks that Marchand is likely concussed as a result. But I watched Claude Lemieux build a HHOF-worthy resume playing that way. So I get why it happened this time of year. And he does (at least for now). But he checked for a raised arm, likely relieved when he didn’t see one…...
