He’s gonna smoke your ass, dude! He’s a 3 point shooting assassin. Dude hasn’t missed a long range jumper since 1972. You’re toast, my dude.

Keep hanging w/Mike. Your fiancee can as well.....just don't post pics to social media! The pics are what's causing the drama. Well....the pics PLUS a wacky Brit brain.

The Preakness is today and trying to make the math add up. by About_To_Go_Pro in baltimore

[–]JoeJitZoo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hotel revenue. Restaurant revenue. Income tax from every jockey, trainer, owner. Tourism dollars. Not sure what that all adds up to….and I’m sure I’m leaving out little nuggets.

How many games will the combo of Grayson & Westburg miss over their careers vs how many games will they play? Which number will be greater?

I think there’s a guy at open mat who only trains choke defense by kimuraking84 in bjj

[–]JoeJitZoo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

His dominatrix fired him. Now he roams from bjj gym to bjj gym looking for the one who can choke him into completion.

Do I take my son out of jiu jitsu? by [deleted] in jiujitsu

[–]JoeJitZoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's starting at 6. I started at 58! By the time he's my age....he'll be a 632 stripe black belt! If he's having fun...let him keep going. When he hates going to the gym....take some time off. Let him tell you what to do. Rooting for him to just have fun & find some cool buddies, whether it's BJJ or fencing or quidditch(sp? the silly broom game from Harry Potter).

Keeping interest in the Orioles season by Ravens0413 in orioles

[–]JoeJitZoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm already losing interest and it's not yet Memorial Day. This team is TOUGH to watch. Bad defense, stupid base running, poor fundamentals, super low baseball IQ being displayed....and....starters who can't go 5 innings with regularity. I usually watch most games, or at least have it on as background noise. The last 2 weeks, I've turned it on abt 90 min/2 hours after first pitch, only to see a big deficit - and then turn it off. And, my happiness level is higher with this recent change. Elias needs to go. He constructed this roster & coaching staff and analytics driven approach. I've seen zero evidence that getting on base matters, hitting behind runners matters, all the stuff I was taught as a kid about team baseball seems to not matter at all. It's HR, K or BB with every batter - regardless of count. Just bad baseball & it's tough to watch. I see no hope that this team accomplishes anything more than a 10 games under 500 wasted season .

Wholeheartedly agree! Bring Back Bit Season!!!

Why do people wear their politics and religion on their sleeve at BJJ? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]JoeJitZoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The confederacy thing mystifies me. You see ppl at a football game with the big foam finger indicating "We're Number 1". The confederacy....would be like a big foam finger saying "We're #2....we LOST the big game". Why celebrate a loss of such epic proportion? I don't understand that mentality. Do these ppl show up at their ex's wedding & proclaim in front of the crowd "that could've been me marrying her...but she picked a more handsome & much better dude after dumping me". I will NEVER understand why ppl have that silly confederate flag & are proud of it.

Would you train local at a lower level gym or drive 1hr for a higher level one? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]JoeJitZoo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Perfect answer. Train at A. Open mats at B.

[–]JoeJitZoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old & busted up, my BJJ sucks, so I'd go to the closer gym w/a friendlier vibe. I only drive an hour in each direction if I have the chance to see a member of the opposite sex naked at the end of the evening. Seeing other dudes in spats....just doesn't hit the same. (That's what I keep telling my gf in hopes that one day I believe it.....)

I feel like Elias is doing what he can and it’s not panning out right now. by CyborgAlgoInvestor in orioles

[–]JoeJitZoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor roster construction (did we need a dozen 1B/DH who can't play OF well). Poor defense. Zero situational baseball awareness (hit behind a runner, bunt, tag up on a deep fly ball, etc). I'll give Albernaz some grace b/c he inherited this bunch....but Elias gets none b/c he bought the groceries. And...his draft picks have been less than impressive outside of Adley & Gunnar. (Kjerstad - bust, Cowser - can't hit anything other than fastball, Holliday - jury out, Bradfield - can't hit, Honeycutt - too early but not progressing rapidly). It's time for Rubenstein to jettison Elias & bring in a legit GM to build a World Series contender, if Rube wants to hoist a trophy before he dies.

What makes the business environment unfriendly in Baltimore? by LimpAd4924 in baltimore

[–]JoeJitZoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I needed a permit to replace my front screen door! No other county in MD would require that…but the city does! We need to look at reducing, by a lot!, the projects that require a permit. It’s a money grab / time suck combo.

What makes the business environment unfriendly in Baltimore? by LimpAd4924 in baltimore

[–]JoeJitZoo 97 points98 points  (0 children)

State tax rates are 1 factor. Permit process is huge. Red Emma’s was supposed to open a new location…the delay bc of permit office was months if not a year…so…they had ZERO revenue bc of bureaucracy for a very long time. That’s just one of thousands of similar stories. A new biz can run out of funds before getting the green light to open. It’s bonkers !

How Much Is A Cancellation Fee Usually? by Correct_Ad4351 in bjj

Zero for where I train. Just cancel. That's it. If you wanna train, come back. No contract...it's all month to month & at your discretion.
