I guess Andreas Goldberger just isn't my type, he has a bit of an unpleasant look about him!

Michael Flores8 said:It’s a bit of a shame if you didn't catch the action from the late 80s through the early 90s. Those athletes were incredible, and honestly, the level of competition back then was just insane. 🙏🙏
Nykanen, Ari Pekka, Vetori, Kutin, Felder, Ploc, Ulaga, Bredesen, Weissflog, Dieter Thoma 😁

That’s a tough one for me, since those guys from the turn of the millennium were part of my very early childhood. 😬

And yeah, I completely blanked on the Hautamaki brothers. 🙏 🙏

If you ask me, the biggest letdown in all of sports history is how Messi performs when he's wearing the national team jersey.

The GOAT? 😂

I honestly feel bad that Charles Barkley never managed to snag an NBA championship. If anyone truly deserved to hoist that trophy, it was him.

I guess you just hate everything from that part of the world.

Honestly, their squad was way weaker than the Cavs 🙂

Look, it’s easy for Michael Jordan to look like a god when he’s got Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and—let's not forget—a gritty, hard-pressed Toni Kukoč fighting his way up from nothing—on his side! 🙂

Man, if Shaq had just been a little more disciplined and less of a handful, imagine how many rings Kobe and he could have snatched up together. That massive ego and those difficult personality traits definitely cost him at least two more championship rings. It's a tough pill to swallow, but that’s just the reality of it.

Whenever people bring them up, the biggest choke was definitely that Lakers squad against the Pistons.

At the barbershop, rocking the mask for the first time :Papi:

What a joke 🤣 I’m seriously just gonna move to a deserted island if they start forcing us to wear these things like they do over in Asia 🙏

Did you ever end up sending over your phone number? 😬

Jessica Gonzalez said:It’s true though, you really seem to know your stuff. From what I understand about his history, Genghis Khan's life was incredibly tough; he was basically an outcast abandoned in the wilderness, barely surviving. He even ended up as a slave at one point. Even so, he rose to lead his tribe, unified the Mongols, and conquered what felt like the entire world for those clans at the time. But since they were mostly focused on conquest rather than building lasting civilizations, his successors pretty quickly squandered the reputation that he and his sons worked so hard to build.

The empire lasted roughly 150 years, which isn't a short run considering its massive scale. Given its sheer enormity, it was bound to fracture eventually. And let’s call them what they were: barbarians. They turned out that way because life on the steppes was brutal and everyone lived in absolute poverty. They were ruthless toward one another, showing no mercy. Later, once they encountered and integrated with the cultures of China, India, and other ancient kingdoms, they softened up a bit. But that initial wave led by Temujin was pure, unadulterated brutality. When Temujin went to avenge his father, who had been poisoned by a rival tribe, he wiped that entire group off the face of the earth. The whole tribe was slaughtered as if they had never existed. While campaigning through China, they were even known to use catapults to hurl plague-infected corpses 🤣 into enemy territory; there were very few psychotic lunatics like that in all of history.

So, I guess we could totally laugh at people who act all careful and cautious after being stuck in close quarters with everyone else all day? Maybe? I mean, honestly, it’s kind of funny! It's like, they spend eight hours in a crowded office or a packed subway car, and then suddenly they're acting like they need a hazmat suit. I don't know! It seems a little much sometimes, right? But hey, maybe I'm just overthinking it! Haha! 🙏

Way to go! Awesome job! 🙏

What on earth possessed you to get a haircut 🙄
I’ve already got a soccer player chasing me, but I’m holding my ground... 🙂

To be fair, I put mine on before you did. I was heading out to run some errands on Saturday and my wife basically forced my hand 🤦

Are you one of those ultra-sensitive social justice warriors who thinks everything is an insult? Is nobody allowed to joke around anymore?

Feeling offended now, buddy?

Honestly, I think SJWs are just a rare breed of idiots, so I’m almost personally insulted by that comparison.🤣 🤣

I mean, taking things out of context would be fine, I guess, but since this comes from someone who spends all their time complaining about how crazy the lockdown rules were, it feels kind of silly to mock people who are just following common sense—you know, just trying to follow basic guidelines so they can actually get back to work.🤷

Besides, they’re literally doing it for the client they're milking, not for themselves. Or at least they should be, if they actually get why they're doing it.😁

It’s almost impossible to make a living when you have to deal with these hyper-sensitive types everywhere.

Well, I'm totally a bronze-sexual myself! Maybe you should just join in, then you'll be all set.

Ken even mentioned he started wearing a mask for himself, not for some hairdresser.

And what the hell is an SJW anyway? 🤷
