I have a friend who often has "circling disease". Hike with him and you wind up going in a circle at least once and listening to him saying "You're never lost as long as you're right where you wanna be!"
Spouting demotivators periodically and fuzzy logic.
Gemini can testify to it since she has hiked with the nut too.
I tell him he thinks part of the trail experience is being like the Hebrew Children wandering in the wilderness. LMAO”

“OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) -- An Oklahoma senator hopes to revive cockfighting in the state by putting tiny boxing gloves on the roosters instead of razors.

The Oklahoma legislature outlawed the blood sport in 2002 because of its cruelty to the roosters, which are slashed and pecked to death while human spectators bet on the outcome.

But State Sen. Frank Shurden, a Democrat from Henryetta and a long-time defender of cockfighting, said the ban had wiped out a $100-million business.

To try to revive it, he has proposed that roosters wear little boxing gloves attached to their spurs, as well as lightweight, chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score.

"It's like the fencing that you see on the Olympics, you know, where they have little balls on the ends of the swords and the fencers wear vests," said Shurden. "That's the same application that would be applied to the roosters."

Janet Halliburton, president of the Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting, which led the drive for the 2002 law, said Shurden is really seeking to loosen the ban.

"What this is going to do is make a platform for him to continually try to amend the existing ban," Halliburton told The Oklahoman newspaper.

The State Senate will consider Shurden's proposal next month.

“Cock fighting appeals to two sets of people: the very poor and the very rich. Go figure!”

“Only in America...”

“hehehe cocks :)”
