Hey Judge
He deserves some fun. As a little treat.
The brain drain continues – the U.S. has lost arguably its most important scientific awards ceremony:

Sometimes my upper GI just mutinies for no apparent reason so I feel you.
I ain't got time for that.
Dumbass with no scientific background hires dumbass. Who could have predicted.
If "cover your drinks ladies" had a face.
Until then, it's just waking up and checking Google to see if it finally happened.
Arm wrestle competition?
Saw that movie opening weekend! Great flick.
Thanks! I can do 3 minutes of solid work in the air before I need a break. By no means would you look at me walking around and think I'm a hulk but I have pretty good definition considering I only do silks 3-4 times a week (I should do conditioning but, lazy).
This was also the first time I'd ever done this particular crossback move with five minutes of class left (and I'd taught before my class) so my body was pretty fatigued. What goes up wants to come down safely, without injury 😁
I don't mind working at height. With this particular move it's practicality. I could go higher but the higher I go, the less slack I have above, making movement more difficult. A crossback close to the rig (top of the silk) is limiting and difficult, if not impossible, to invert.
I would describe 99.9% of what I know as very low risk. The only time I've felt in danger is when I push myself when my muscles are super fatigued, otherwise I always have a moderate to high level of control.
I guess it depends on how hard you try! I asked my instructor if she would show us a drop I saw on YouTube but didn't feel comfortable trying alone and she said no. Has to be done at height and is high risk for falling out completely or ending up in an unintended ankle drop 😔
5 or 6 ft, not high.
New crossback move!
Getting deeper!
🤢
There's always money in the circus stand.
I might do my first public routine in summer or spring this year, have to see if I can polish my skills enough.
That was one hell of a five second rule application.
Crossback with a sloppy inversion (happens to be all I am capable of atm).
How does my figurehead pose feel so deep yet look so shallow 😡
Lord no.
all over the patio. Now, you'd expect that they'd clean up the beans and throw them in the trash and apologize. Instead, they scraped as much of the beans as possible back into the container and put it on the buffet table. To this day, I don't know if my cousin is aware that happened.
Today I was randomly reminded of my cousin's wedding reception. It was on an ADU on her mother in law's property. People were bringing trays of food over from the main house for a buffet style reception. As a woman was walking up onto the deck, she dropped an industrial sized tin of hot baked beans
I don't know that he has no idea. More importantly, I don't think he gives a shit.
This is a rare ‘fire rainbow’ spotted over the Rocky Mountains, created when sunlight hits ice-crystal clouds at just the right angle. Seeing a fire rainbow requires extreme luck.
Peach, so sweet, so cute. Then there's the orange one.
