I hated that guy when he was coaching the chickens, but he’s grown on me a ton since then. And I admire him for saying this, which is both 100% true and 95% unpopular with the people who like him.

He was far more loveable as the SCar coach than as Florida or Duke. That was in his grandpa Mack 2.0 stage.

Me too, bro. I was so happy when he went to Cola because I could focus all of my college football hate in one place. But yeah, he has grown on me as well. That is a nice quote.
 
I've told this story before but I hadn't given much thought about what the results would have been if the kid in my class had executed what he was trying.

It was 5th grade (so 1980-81) and a kid in my class brought a shotgun shell and a screwdriver to school and in the middle of class he pulled them out and started hitting on the firing cap end of the shell with the screwdriver. I remember it vividly because a girl that was sitting right in front of me saw it happening and started screaming and the teacher was there in a flash to put a stop to it. I've never seen someone yanked up and drug out of class so fast.

Anyway, I'm sure it's probably possible for a 5th grader to fire off a shotgun shell in the manner I described but what kind of impact would it likely take to set off a shell and what would be the result of a shotgun shell going off out in the open and not guided like when it's discharged in a barrel? I keep thinking it would be more like a bomb going off and the shot inside it going everywhere like shrapnel.

I don't even like thinking about what could have happened if he had succeeded in setting that shell off.

Geez. Did that kid ever return to your school?

Yes he did. He was a troubled young man that came from a really, really poor upbringing and was always looking for attention any way he could get it. He once left class to "use the bathroom" and came back with his teeth colored 10 different marker color. He did stuff like that all the time. The teacher in that class had bought/brought him clothes, shoes... and really tried to guide him in the right direction. I always tried being nice to him because he was an outcast and the teacher noticed that (told me so) and always paired me with him for anything we did that required a partner.

He fell behind me a grade or two but I remember when he arrived at highschool he always wore a tie. The same tie everyday whether it was with a T-shirt, sweater... Don't think he ever caused any real trouble in highschool as far as I know but I did see his name in a local paper several times where he had run ins with the law (mostly alcohol related stuff).
 
In re: Kentucky Sheriff shoots judge - The whole thing about the Sheriff being sued because his deputy solicited and received sexual favors from a female defendant and collected those favors in the chambers of the judge who was shot really puts a twist on this story. The sheriff was scheduled to be deposed in that case this coming Monday. The allegation against the Sheriff is something like failure to provide proper training to the deputy. I'm imagining a scenario where the Sheriff confronts the Judge--who was in on the scheme--and demands that it stop. And Judge responds with something like, "And if I don't, what are you going to do?"
