It must be nice to have a few million $ spare pocket change to invest... An investment made by Kobe Bryant has yielded more than 30 times its money in fewer than four and a half years. On Tuesday, Coca-Cola announced it had purchased a minority stake in sports drink BodyArmor. Bryant made his first investment in the brand, for roughly 10 percent of the company, in March 2014, putting in roughly $6 million over time. Based on the valuation of the Coca-Cola deal, his stake is now worth approximately $200 million, sources told ESPN. Bryant is now the fourth-largest investor in the brand, marketed as a healthier competitor to Gatorade, behind the brand's co-founder Mike Repole, Coca-Cola and Keurig Dr Pepper. When Bryant invested in BodyArmor, the brand had just come off a year of $10 million in sales. BodyArmor is projected to top $400 million in sales in 2018. And the rich get richer...

Alligator that survived WWII bombings still alive and snapping BELGRADE — American alligator Muja arrived at Belgrade Zoo on the eve of the Second World War and is believed to be the oldest of his kind in captivity and still in good health with a hearty appetite for his age, his handlers said on Tuesday. Generations of Belgraders and tourists have come to watch Muja and though he rarely moves around much, he is still agile at feeding time — when he munches on rats and quail. This is when his age shows, though, as he sometimes misses the target when he snaps at his food. So far Muja’s only health issue has been gangrene, which led to him having his front right claw amputated in 2012. “He is well … and healthy, eats well and is in good form for his age, so we hope that he’ll remain that way for many years,” zoo director Srboljub Aleksic said. Muja arrived from Germany in August 1937. An old newspaper clipping about his arrival at the zoo said that he was 2 years old at the time, putting him in his early 80s today. He survived two carpet bombings of the Serbian capital — one by Germany in 1941 and the other by the Allies in 1944 — when all the official documentation about his transfer was lost. Muja eats a quail in his home at Belgrade Zoo.

I always wondered why her rendition of Lady Madonna was removed as the theme song from GRACE UNDER FIRE after the 3rd season, & then was scrubbed from those episodes when the show went into syndication. I assume it was something having to do with royalties, but it's a shame that probably the pinnacle of her career isn't regularly seen anymore. Thank God for youtube, right?

I was gonna get you a new kowbell, but I didn't know how many inches you prefer. http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server4700/96049/product_images/uploaded_images/hand-on-bell-banner.png?t=1445281555

It looks like that may have been right after her career-making appearance on GIMME A BREAK. It's a pity her career could never match this initial promise...

Once upon a time I liked Hayes & Curry.

And...?????????? Did you enjoy it? Was there a follow-up dinner date? Did you at least get flowers the next morning?

Have you tried offering them a swig?

I guess 'black' was easier for Mick to rhyme. Although... Mellow, Bellow, Cello, Fellow, Jello, Hello... We could Paint It Yellow!

It would be a little difficult getting my emotional support fridge on a plane.

Gee, your new headline makes this everyman-slice of life-human interest story seem lurid, perverted, and filthy. THAT should attract a lot of new views. GOOD GOING! :rolleyes:
