25th Anniversary of losing (again) at Gus Macker.....along with some car chase


Yep, 25 years ago today four twenty-somethings headed north to the Gaylord area to try to recapture the glory days of yesteryear on the basketball court playing a 3 on 3 tournament. The weekend was going to be like any other up north weekend; hanging at a local campground, enjoying some giggles with friends and attempting to take home the coveted Toilet Bowl trophy (teams losing the first two games get sent to the Toilet Bowl; we were always in the Toilet Bowl). We were never any good at the basketball portion as I believe we made three attempts at the tournament throughout the state with no trophies to show for the effort. Trophies smophies, I'll take the laughs and the many memories over the trophy any day. Watching Rob S. work the rapport with the park rangers was worth the price of admission alone. He was on a first name basis with them before we even arrived.   
This weekend was a bit different, however.  Besides the basketball, we were in for another treat as a moron in California was charged for the murder of his ex-wife and another individual and decided to take the Los Angeles police on a joy ride. There we were sitting around the campfire, listening to play by play of the chase. We all know the end result but what a crazy weekend.
To make matters equally crazy today is that the moron charged with the murder decided recently to open up a social media account; one that has no restrictions on replying to anything the moron puts out there. There is not enough space here to show them all but I've added some of my favorites.
Some are cruel (but quite funny).
