  • American football is gaining popularity in Europe and South America at a pretty healthy clip. Enough so that the NFL is now sending teams to play games in those places. They are even starting to consider expanding a couple of teams to Europe in the future. And there are more and more international players starting to get a foothold in the NFL as players.

    You might have won a battle, but you could lose still lose the war…









  • A side story about the Okapi.

    When the Okapi became a big thing to the public, a German cutlery manufacturer designed a distinctive looking cheap and useful knife that was named after the Okapi. They became popular pocket knives with German soldiers and often found in the German trenches in WW1. The Okapi knives were made in Germany until the 1980s when the tooling and name was sold to a cutlery and tool manufacturer in South Africa where they are made to this day.

    They are still cheap and rugged enough for daily use. And quite popular in poorer parts of the world. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones was known to regularly carry a large Okapi knife he was given.

    Surveyor stakes are the equivalent to peeing on a tree these days.

    And at our core for millions of years we have been pack animals like the wolf or lion or sheep. Lemmy is filled with packs and tribes that will defend their “territory” by expulsion anyone that disagrees with the pack strongly enough. Just as humans have done for those same millions of years.


  • You get really, really good at it. And intermittent self cathing is far better than wearing one with a bag strapped to your leg all the time. I’ve done that too. None of this does your sex life a lot of good though. But prostrate issues never do.

    Pro Tip: Everyone should know their catheter size, I use a 16 french for example. I also recommend the hydrophilic lube with coude tip ones for easier insertion and placement.
