Hey! We already have tackle.

It's an old photo. We've just come out of hibernation, been carbo loading and now we're ripped.

I've heard when you carb load you end up loaded full of something else. Can you confirm? Asking for friends

Bears ehhhh. No ******* chance!

HOW TO BUTCHER A BEAR

• 6- to 8-inch hunting knife • Cutting board • Bone-saw, heavy-duty • hacksaw or electric saw • Large refrigerator or freezer • Large, cleanable table
• 9- to 12-foot upright/free- • standing structure (optional) • 12- to 20-foot chain (optional) • Hook (optional)

• Skin your bear so that you are left with a headless and paw-less carcass covered in layers of white fat. Lay the bear carcass out on your large table or suspend the bear from its hind legs about 3 feet from the ground using your chain, hook and upright.

• Cut off the layers of fat with your hunting knife. Bears have two types of fat: The outer layer is jelly-like while the layer closer to the muscle is firmer, like beef tallow. Use carefully executed cuts to shave off the fat in chunks, getting as close to the red bear meat as possible. Discard the fat or reserve the pieces to render into bear lard or grease.

•Remove the fillets. To do this, saw the sternum down the middle then split the rib cage into two halves. The tenderloins or fillets are the muscles that run along the spine from the bottom of the rib cage to just before the hind legs. Reserve these if you want bear steaks or simply cube into roughly 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch pieces like you will be doing to the rest of the bear meat.

• Peel the meat from the ribs. Insert the knife just under the rib meat on the outside of the animal's rib cage making a generous incision. Run your knife along flesh and the rib bones as you pull the meat back, peeling off the rib meat.

• Remove the meat from the front and back legs. Holding out the limb, use your knife to cut the meat, sinew and tendons away from shoulder and hip joints and then saw off each limb at the exposed joint. Cut meat away from each leg and cube.

• Strip and cube the remaining meat from the carcass. The remaining meat will mostly be around the shoulders.

• Place cubes of meat in an airtight container or in plastic bags. Place in your refrigerator or freezer, or grind with spices and other meat (traditionally pork) to make ground meat for hamburgers or sausage

All I got from this is how much you want Bear sausage

You'll dabble in whatever the fu** I tell you to...After this, you'll all be our Bear Bitches!!

I aint listening to no flog in a shitty fedora.

Does it count as carb loading if you eat pasta every day?

I was tempted to pick the blues but I just couldn't do it. Figured if they don't get up I don't fall a tip behind the rest of the country.

Hello Clarkey! How are you amigo? I have fond memories of your gym cameo in the last Discord sesh I was in on.

I'm okay, I had a massive breakdown circa June last year predominantly linked to workplace stress but also some pretty heavy trauma and shitty coping mechanisms. Have tried twice now to get back to work in a similar field / role but broken down both times including start of this week. Was back in my line of work for 3 and a half weeks and lost 5kgs, had 7 panic attacks and had permanent sensations of dizziness, headaches, heart racing etc.

I've worked my ass off on my health over the last 9 months. I don't drink, smoke or touch caffeine. I do some gentle excercise each day as well as seeing a therapist but just can't figure out how or where to from here work wise. I know I need to either take a massive step back or do something different but I have no idea what that looks like at the moment. Thank **** my partner is still working and we have a bit of savings. I'm very lucky on that front.

Will figure itself out in time, I just need to ride the wave. COVID has been a barrel of joy haha

Love a bit of angst among the senior playing group

It's a terrible thing man. I suffered for decades and didn't know what it was, why I haven't been able to have a good nights sleep since I was a kid, oranything at all about anxiety, seeing a therapist for the first time next week. You're not alone ol' goo buddy

Good on you for booking into see a therapist. I honestly think everyone should see them regurlarly regardless of their mood state or whether they have a mental illness or not. Has helped me immensely so far. Sometimes I just gotta remember how far back im coming back from and how bad I was last year.

Mate that's shit house. I hope it all works out in the end for you.

It will. I'm a pretty determined MOFO just gotta rest up for a week or so and then get cranking on making some more changes. Brick by brick

So I’m experimenting this week. I’ve decided not to tag TJ to test the universe’s reaction. #forscience

Two weeks ago I didn’t tag him, I played like shit and we were flogged by a bunch of nobodies captained by AceAndy. Last week I tagged him, I smashed all three players Supersuns threw at me and we beat the Roys comfortably.
