Meanwhile In Siberia….

While President Donald Trump has been taking incoming on all fronts, Vlad Putin took some vacation days in Siberia to give his tiger, Scaramucci, a work out and to get another manly, bare chested photo.

Vlad Putin and his Siberian tiger, Scaramucci

During the bare chested photo-shoot, Vlad shared some anecdotes with reporters about how he decided to change his tiger’s name from plain vanilla Boris to Scaramucci. He said that after the FSB delivered him the transcript and audio from Anthony Scaramucci’s infamous rant, he knew that the guy was a ‘real’ tiger.  So he changed Boris’ name immediately.  After all, as President of Russia, he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

“Besides,” he added, “I’m sure that with a little more work I can train Scaramucci to do the Fandango.  And wait until I bring that show to the next G-20 Summit.”

How To Cook a Live Carrot

The boiling frog is a common misconception describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.” Maybe not so much…

But for a live carrot, it’s quite successful method, especially if a nice bath of vegetable or beef stock is prepared.

Awww!! – Rascal Rodeo

Learn to judge how this little Bronco Buddy scored on his ride.

Rodeo Scoring 101

To judge fairly and accurately and to appreciate the efforts of the contestants, judges must watch the brute raw strength of the livestock as well as the maneuvers of the cowboy.

Because the livestock’s performance accounts for half the rider’s score, judges look at darts, dives, twists and rolls. The tougher the ride, the more points the bull or bronc will be scored by the judges.

Failing to Spur: In bareback bronc and saddle bronc riding, the spurs must be touching the horse over the shoulders when the front hooves hit the ground during the first jump out of the chute. If a saddle bronc or bareback bronc rider fails to do this, he will be disqualified.

Touching the Livestock, Rigging or Himself: The rider cannot touch any of these with his free hand in bareback bronc, saddle bronc or bull riding. If he does, the judge will disqualify him.

Losing a Stirrup: If a rider loses a stirrup before the end of his eight-second ride in saddle bronc riding, the judge will make a hand signal to the announcers and timers immediately.

Trump Out Kongs Kim

The Wall Street Journal reports North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has “Backed[s] Off Guam Missile-Attack Threat“.  Perhaps, it was Donald Trump’s channeling of “Dr. Strangelove’s” Major T. J. “King” Kong that persuaded him.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has decided not to launch a threatened missile attack on Guam, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Tuesday, but warned that he could change his mind “if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions.”
