Weeeee! A hurricane in middle Georgia. What the damn hell? It's currently windy and raining like a mofo, but still have power! Generator and chainsaw ready to go. A little nervous of the trees near the house.
Not dead! Changed from Cat 1 to tropical storm about 45 minutes south of me, and the path of the eye was more east-southeast than projected. Lots of devastation around, though.
Of course. I had already stocked up earlier in the week, though, just in case there was a Wednesday. I gotta say, Michael was kind of weird. Not just because a hurricane came so far inland to Georgia, but because for the past several years, whenever there was a potential devastating storm on the way, there was a least a week's notice. This thing was like, hey, there's Michael . . . 48 hours later Mexico Beach, FL doesn't exist.
Good for him. The favoritism towards the stars who bring in the big PPV numbers is getting out of hand. Sure, they're always going to get preferential treatment, but there's no semblance of consistency at all.
He makes very good points. Especially the one where a guy threw a dolly through a window, injuring two other fighters, and basically nothing happened.

There's a good, short documentary on YouTube about how that festival went so spectacularly wrong. Basically, they didn't charge ENOUGH for the tickets. Very few of those high-dollar tickets sold, and most of them went for about $500 in the end. There was a bunch of other scammy shit going on as well, but that was the core issue credited.
They promised these cheesebags that they’d be living like celebrities, riding around on jet skis and banging models.... who would have thought that promising all that shit doesn’t actually happen unless you act on it. ....and how those whiney little fucks were crying as if they got left behind in a Mogadishu slum; begging for their parents to send dad’s spare private plane to save them from the horror that is disappointment without central air. As far as the festival organizer is concerned, I hope they cut his balls off in jail and flush them down the fucking toilet. I’ve met plenty of phoney, thieving promoters in my life and they all deserve to be thrown into a forest fire made entirely of herpes.
That's just it, though... the vast majority of those stuck there were wannabes that didn't have rich parents to come and bail them out... they blew their wad on the ticket thinking they'd be rubbing elbows with the rich and famous.
Any time they advertise this sort of “high life” event with hot chicks running around it NEVER turns out that way. Those “House Party” concerts where they had huge bands playing in a house to a few contest winners? More like three thousand contest winners in a field far from the ”house” they make it seem like it’s in. Those Coors Light/Maxim golf tournaments that showed slutty hot chicks in bikinis running all over the golf course? Yeah, the hot chicks greet you on the bus as you come in. They’re not hookers, and they’ll have nothing to do with you. Then you go play golf, drink your four free beers allowance and are basically forced to fuck off. Any time something seems to good to be true... it always is.
Now that I'm home, in front of a computer, here's the video that Li'l Bandit showed me a few months ago:
Would have been a cool video if that annoying as fuck narrator wasn't in it. Didn't know all that back story about why it got so bad so quick though. Thanks for posting it.
