Excellent documentary on the life of Ginger Baker, world renowned and former Cream drummer who some consider the greatest drummer to ever live. Watched last night and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Watched it. Ehhhhhh...had enough entertaining parts I guess to hold my attention, but definitely wasn't side splitting funny. I watched more to see how thety were going to tie in aspects from the original movie, which I watched again before the series. There is also a documentary that just came out about the making of the original move...Hurricane of Fun: The making of Wet Hot. It was probably as entertaining as the movie, in a different way.

Got to have leaders, and got to have followers, and everyone isn't motivated to the same plane, always has been and always will be like that. As long as people do what they are, at a minimum supposed to, and held accountable, everything cool. Some people will always work harder and try to achieve more, and some people will be better leaders and set themselves apart. But, when you get incompetent people...maybe they come in drunk...sleep on the job...constantly late...do everything they can to get out of work...those people are good for NO organization and can only hinder what is a good organization if brought on board. The deeper issue in this particular example though is the lack of management and upper management oversight that's lets this sort of thing grow and fester into what it has become.

That's it! Thanks.

Bingo! Failing "up". Seen it many times. Problem employee gets less work, good employee gets more pilled on. Problem employee gets moved around and handled with kid gloves, good dedicated employees are held accountable as they should be, but so should the "bad" employees, who many times aren't.

Without getting into specifics...lets just say holding their managers accountable would be a start.

Georgetown, Frankfort, Versailles and Somerset? Man if those are some of the most violent places to live in KY, then we truly are blessed. I have lived and work in Frankfort, live right down the road from Versailles. I have to say, calling these places "violent" would be like calling Milli/Vanilli "gangster rap". I'd have no problem at all living in any of those four communities.

Anyone remember this case? Was listening to 590 WVLK this morning and they were talking to a prosecuting attorney from NKY and he was talking about this case. I had never heard of it. Transgender "woman" stabs guy 70+ times, then slits his throat, after they had been partying together at a private residence. I didn't catch all the interview, sounded interesting. Anyone know the story?

That works in Utopia. Well, actually I guess in Utopia you wouldn't have the bad employees to start with. Unfortunately though that's not usually how it ends up working out. I have personally seen it before, several times. Sure, it's great for the "bad" division, just a couple more issues they don't have to deal with. What doesn't make sense is putting 2 known "cancers" in with the good division just for the purpose of shipping them out of the "bad" division so they don't have to deal with them any longer. It ultimately more likely than not will weaken the strong division and not really do much to strengthen the "bad" division. Lets just say the problems run much deeper in the "bad" division than just a couple of bad employees.

Totally agree. Dowd is wrong any way you slice it by either withholding this info or now making it up.

Here's the setting; You have an organization...this organization is broken down into a handful of separate divisions. Division A is struggling and the "bottom dweller" in the organization. They have a couple of bad employees they want to get rid of. These employees for certain reasons can't be fired. So, the overall leader of the organization has an idea. Ship the bad employees from Division A (bottom dweller division) to Division B, who is the "shinning star" of the organization and helps make the overall organization look good, and who just happened to have 2 job openings come open that they were going to interview for. Now, they are being told to take the "bad" employees to fill these jobs. So, the question is, does this make any sense to anyone? You have one division who is humming along and who does a great job, then the leader of the organization decides to dump 2 bad, disgruntled employees from the "bad" division into the "good" divisions lap and effectively say "here, you deal with them". What effective organization does that?

Got to be honest, Rose comes across as kind of a creep/creepy to me, so sleeping with young girls back in the day...yea, I don't have a hard time seeing him do that. 12 yo? Don't know about that, but high school girls under 18, maybe. Doesn't mean he did do it, just not THAT hard for me to believe he might have. However, with that, if Dowd actually had this information, that's the FIRST thing he should have reported 25 years ago. And if it IS true and he didn't report it, that makes him a sleaze too in my mind and there should be some repercussions for withholding that information...again IF true. And IF true, then why didn't he report it? Sounds fishy.

I guess maybe in this instance people will let the facts of the case come out before passing some sort of judgment...which is what should happen in EVERY case. It is somewhat perplexing though that this is the first I have heard of this case, it was nowhere that I know of in the national news. Or, then again, maybe it's not perplexing...I don't know.

For me, might be John Settle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Settle. Only the most diehard football fans on here remember him if you even heard of him. Stud hs running back at Rockingham Co. (NC), almost unstoppable. Team was terrible but he ran for over 2,000 yards his sr. year with absolutely no help. Went to Appy State, had a good career and went as an undrafted free agent to the NFL. Was the first undrafted free agent in the NFL to rush for 1,000 yards and made the pro bowl in 1988. Only played 3 years, I think injuries caught up with him. Is now the rb coach for Wisconsin.

Heck, it's been going on along 127 in Lawrenceburg and Frankfort the past several days. people had booths up and selling stuff this past weekend. Will really get crazy Friday. I bought an old reel mower for $10 a few years ago. Not a thing wrong with it other than the blades could have used a little sharpening, which I never did. Worked fine, and f you don't know you can easily pay $100 and more for a new one. I gave it away to a kid a couple summers ago. Made his day.

I didn't know some kids took getting cut so hard until a couple of seasons ago. Had a kid, 6th grader at the time, that had been practicing with us but tried out for the county middle school team. Got cut, and cut fairly early in the process. His mom called me up later in the day after cuts, asking if he could still come out and play for us. Of course I said yes. She said he had come home just so upset and crying, and that in turn made her upset and she had been crying with him. Many of his buddies made the team, and he felt like he was getting left behind and just loved basketball so much. I told her not to worry, he would forget about the county ms basketball team one we started playing. And that's pretty much what happened. Flash forward to 7th grade last year. Kid again goes out for county ms basketball team...once again gets cut. Isn't nearly as upset because he enjoyed playing so much with us and actually got to play a lot. Had he made the ms team his 6th grade year he probably, literally would have never touched the floor in games. His mom tells me it's probably best he didn't make it and in a way she was glad he didn't since he actually gets a chance to play with us. So, it all worked out in the end for him. And that's the way it is with a lot of our kids. They get the chance with us that they didn't or wouldn't have gotten with the county middle school.

I'm not quite sure what the guy was thinking BEFORE he married her...

No, no, didn't say that. Most I hear is crap, but then I don't listen to a lot of it either. Just made me chuckle a little when you brought up Costco Bourbon given your dislike for "mass market" items in other areas. Sounds like tough they contracted out to the right group who came up with a good recipe.

Was going to say something similar.

Ok, I just HAVE to, in fun, point out a little irony here. So, the guy who loathes most popular "mass" music and who can't stand the Eagles, one of the best selling most popular bands of all time, is touting how good the store brand Bourbon is from a mass market producer? That, gentleman, is irony at it's finest.:lol2:

To be honest I think a LOT of broadcast/cable/satellite providers can't be happy with this thing and what people are doing with it now, not to mention it's potential. I see a fight coming.

Shoot, I crossed that bridge a loooooong time ago.

Mr. Cat?

We discussed this experiment in psychology class in college. It really messed some people up and showed just how "evil" some could actually become.

That a boy.:thumb: Just testing you to see how it works. Evidently works pretty darn well.
