He hasn't done it yet?

Nothing on his twitter yet, but I'm fine with the over under set in hours rather than days

Day 4 of the road to the Disc Gold World Championship.

Woke up early to hit the links before the sun could Dracula me with its burning ways. I still broke into a sweat walking from my car to the first tee.

Another player was nearby. We observed each other from a respectful distance, like warriors. He wore a Metallica tank top and had an over-the-shoulder bag similar to mine. He was approximately the same skill level as me. By hole eight I had worked up the courage to ask him to join me, but he was too busy looking for his frisbee in the sumac. I made two bogeys.

edit.

never mind. googled it

WIFI must be down in the White House bathroom.

Huh, never considered the angle that women should stay in bad marriages because of their carbon footprint. That's a remarkably creative expression of misogyny.

Dude is War Room incarnate.

Yeah, an ice axe to the dome disagrees with that assessment.

Wire works too.

Anyone wanna place bets on how long for Trump to make fun of Bernie for being week and having a heart surgery?

He probably already did

 

[Fawlty]

what exactly is Disc Golf? is it essentially throwing a Frisbee at a target?

yep

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

yep

addicting? do you do teams? or is it a solo type of thing?

Not sure, there's probably a league or club or something but I haven't looked into it. It's an individual game but there are teams and stuff. I'm loving it for the exercise and the challenge. It's a lot harder than it looks, technique-wise. I like it almost as much as golf, definitely addicting.

It's probably a lot cheaper than golf. my friends have been trying to get me to play Golf, but I know what's going to happen...I'm going to get ridiculously competitive, buy all the up to date clubs and equipment, and then spend 5 K on a hobby.

Disc Golf sounds like a fun, leisurely summer activity.

Looks like fake Ripskater got taken down already

@senri

He yearns for the fusion. Be mindful of Mr. Fawlty as his cuisine will be truly delectable. Something so tight is marinating at a tremendous rate and it will begin to spurt out with such undue pressure. He is listening but as of right now the Ennui runs deep.

The man witnesses the silhouette of the anchor that guards him from the boundless dark abyss of the deep ocean. He must merely look harder so that he can see that he has no chains bound to him.

that is bullshit. seriously, why is he on the blacklist?

did he post porn, or try to hack into Crave?

what did he do that was so bad?

@Jack V Savage, don't you think he has been unjustly blacklisted?

I'm surprised people didn't know this.

Dad used to work on merchant ships since like the 70s and he said up until like the mid 80s or early 90s the ships he was just like a 3rd or 2nd mate on routinely were dumping waste just overboard.

I don't think it was actually Ripskater. probably a regular poster made a second account to gimmick around with.

this should be a heavily punitive fine to deter shit like this.

FWIW I am also a ridiculously competitive person but with golf it's different. Obviously you can compete but a normal round with no stakes means it's you vs the course or you vs your prior self. I fucking love golf and enjoy it without getting pissed.

It is expensive and there's a serious learning curve, though. But I say go for it if you can afford the hobby. Also, you get nice discounts on the prior year's best gear and don't need the newest shit all the time. Some people are just gear junkies though.

Yeah I'd say golf requires something like a $600-$1000 investment (four to six irons, two woods, a wedge or two, putter, shoes, and bag) within a few months, unless you get lucky or are super patient finding quality used clubs. And greens fees are a real cost going forward, in addition to the new clubs you'll want to buy. Cheap golf clubs are not really playable after you learn to hit the ball 150 yards consistently, imo. You can outgrow the cheap stuff in a hurry if you're avid.

The entry level disc golf stuff including discs, decent bag, and new tennis shoes on sale was under $100 (all of it is of playable quality for at least your first year), and very few courses charge you to play, or they charge like a dollar. It's mostly park-based rather than an enterprise, and the city/county maintains them, often on existing park land that wasn't being used. The money is made on equipment rather than the course.

You could have a good time drinking/smoking too, since it's laid back. Or just enjoy the walk.

I can't remember where I found this stat, but something over half of plastic trash in the most polluted parts of the ocean is from fishing vessels.

 

[Gregolian]

I don't have the patience for golf.

Which sounds weird given I love laying prone on a mat and trying to sling lead out to like 400 yard and making tiny little adjustments for every like 4 inches I'm off and shit.

tbh, that's what I'm looking for, an all around fun, physical activity you can while drinking/smoking during the summer.

I'd rather do this, then sit on my ass, pounding beers.
