IG Model Sommer Ray Is Ready For Bikini Season, Charlotte Flair Stops By & Bill Belichick Still In Washington
We made it
It was far from perfect, and it wasn't easy. But we made it through a few extra days with me at the helm, while Joe enjoyed Augusta.
IG embeds being down didn't help matters and I hope that the issue is resolved soon. Neither did an apparent issue with at least one iPad.
Mark, I'll pass along the message you sent my way. Hopefully, whatever it is, it's resolved quicker than the embed issue.
Anyway, it's hump day, and I'm on the clock early today and in the mood to make things a little weird before The Masters carries folks into the weekend.
Getting things started is a love story between a man in his 50s and an elderly woman's car.
North Carolina man busted for odd love affair with a car
Police in Kinston, North Carolina, just under four hours from where I'm sitting - road trip? - arrested a man on Monday for "activity related to mechanophilia," reports FOX Carolina.
52-year-old Walter McCray was finally caught on camera by police using an 82-year-old woman's car for sexual pleasure. According to the woman, the man had been doing so for three years.
Prior to the police getting involved, she tried to catch the man getting it on with her car by setting up cameras of her own. He always found them and would move them before proceeding to do his thing.
After catching McCray on camera, police arrested him and handed down several charges. He was charged with 1 count of felony stalking, five counts of damage to property, and five counts of injury-tamper with a vehicle.
That's a tough way to have a relationship of several years come to an end. Probably not as tough as having your butt amputated.
I don't have any firsthand knowledge of either, but I'm assuming butt amputation isn't something many would sign up for.
Influencer had her buttocks amputated
Unfortunately for Mexican comedian and influencer Yered Licona, she knows all about it after having to have "chunks of her buttocks amputated" when fillers she had injected into her backside leaked.
Just when you think you've heard everything. The Daily Mail reports that Yered was on a plane to Canada to visit her daughter when her booty troubles started.
"I was flying to Canada and started feeling something was wrong on the plane," she explained. "It started to hurt, and I went to the bathroom and I felt my bum, and it was really hard. I thought to myself 'What's going on?'"
Well it turns out that what was going on was the polymers injected into her butt had leaked and infected her tissue. She was suffering from something called ASIA syndrome.
That is short for autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants. It's a condition caused by an autoimmune overreaction to substances including silicone.
Surgeons reportedly had to cut out nearly three-quarters of the tissue from the upper part of each of her buttocks. Yered insists she never signed off on such a procedure to have anything injected into her butt.
She said, "Imagine my surprise, I went for a dream body and ended up in a medical nightmare."
The Summer of the 9/9/9 challenge
A few days ago, Joe included the 9/9/9 challenge in an edition of Screencaps as someone on X went for it at a stadium. It's the challenge of eating nine hot dogs and downing nine beers during a nine inning baseball game.
The challenge isn't new, but in the pitch clock era there's an added wrinkle. You can't sit down, unbutton your pants, and casually go at this anymore. There aren't as many pitching changes, guys aren't adjusting their jocks seven times between pitches either.
You gotta grab your dog and beer in between innings and get to work. While there's some debate over whether the pitch clock is contributing to blown out arms, it might just turn this summer into the summer of the 9/9/9 challenge.
Even with 2024 prices staring them in the face, people are more than willing to give it a shot. Like the guy from earlier this month, there are others already getting started on taking on the challenge.
And those vowing to take it on before the season ends.
Good luck to those attempting the 9/9/9 challenge this spring and summer. Let me know if you've done this, either in the pitch clock era or before.
That's it for this Wednesday's edition. I have to run and get the little one over to preschool before hopping back on for my regularly scheduled shift.
I'll see everyone on Sunday. Send over the 9/9/9 challenge stories or any other fan-related challenges you've taken on or are planning to take on.
