The Goat Pen

UConn is just awesome. Houston is just awesome. Purdue has the MVP and as a result, awesome. The rest? They are just lining themselves up to be chewed up by one of these three teams who will NOT be playing one another until the final four.

UNC's biggest "enemy" (for lack of a better word) in the tournament, is Arizona. Or maybe Marquette. But the best thing that could happen for the Wildcats or the Tarheels is to play Purdue, UConn, or Houston, last. Got to get that last #1 slot and these are the schools fighting over that.

Bohemian Grove was trending on twitter yesterday.

Remember when Cletus was talking about that probably more than a decade ago and all the heavy hitters that are there. I can't recall correctly his description of it but I got the impression he was presenting it like the Skull and Bones at Yale for old wealthy men.

The presentation of it in the past few days has been anything but

One tweet I read was stunned to hear there is proof it actually existed, and I was like - yea, we had a first hand account of here years ago.

Alex Jones and like-minded conspiracy theorists have been harping about that place for decades now.

Can't wait to see his dream crushed...

I'm gonna curse UK now & pick them to win it all.

No need for that, they've already got Cal...

I was going to bet on them thru draft kings and setting up a funding account is such a fucking nightmare I just got frustrated and deleted the app

Online betting just became (or else is fixin to become very shortly) legal in NC. All the sites are giving hundreds of dollars in bonuses if you sign up with them, I (ahem) bet you could rack up several thousand dollars in credits if you signed up with 10 or 12 of them...

so I go thru all this trouble to get money in my Venmo account, which was a huge page because unless you have your back account directly linked to your venmo account you can't send transfer from the bank to venmo (although someone can send you money), so I put that aside and tried just to use Paypal - again because I have Paypal tied to my debit card and not my actual bank routing info, can't do it, then I tried bitcoin, which required a federal tax document, then I tried a credit card and it would never go thru after trying 3 of them, and finally I got some money deposited into my venmo account and I was ready to make the bet and the bastards then tell me I need a backup account in order to bet

I just said fuck it, you don't want my money

I'll just go to a fucking sports book at our Casino next week if I am out and about

Maybe the Pompeii museum takes bets...

odds are it sucks

I am a member now. What was the twitter stuff saying about the club. Coincidently, I was staying at the city club in SF the last two nights.

A fighter named Ryan Garcia had a mental breakdown on twitter.

It was enough to get it trending

Looking forward to dealing with gambling issues in family law now...

I found this and am pretty sure that I do not want to join whatever camp he was hanging out in. All kidding aside, I have a feeling Ryan Garcia has not spent much time at the Grove and I find it amusing to read the comments about it. I didn’t realize its existence was in question.

Orchestrated by the Grove, no doubt. They pull the strings, we dance...

How did you find the city on your visit, Cletus? Still a hellscape of homeless zombies, crime, and feces and needles in the streets, even in Pacific Heights and Nob Hill? That's what I hear. At least whenever I watch Fox News...
