my mobility is limited, so this is second quarantine by force. But I like the Olympics because you get a chance to watch the more obscure stuff. The shooting sports, water sports, women's soccer, that kinda thing. The ESPN THE OCHO once every four years.
I'd have to say table tennis is probably the best summer Olympic sport. It's the curling of the summer games.
I love it. Last night I flipped between skateboarding, volleyball, water polo, gymnastics and swimming for like 3 hours. I don’t even care who wins. I love all the different sports and wish they were on year round. during the pandemic I found myself watching a lot of pro cornhole on espn. Not because I like the game, but it’s different and exciting in its own way.
If they’re for subsistence you can take 5 a week. Floated a keg and drank an Olympic-sized swimming pool worth of bourbon last night in celebration of a neighbors birthday. I think it’s time to retire from this sport.
Up here hunters can kill 50-200 snow geese a day legally. If you’re simmering about pests just going for the thrill kill, the lead singer of the Happy Mondays (Shaun Ryder) and his brother managed to murder over ten thousand pigeons in just a few minutes by lacing some bread with rat poison and then laughed as filthy dead birds fell like rain down on Manchester.
a lot, just don't post about it on here or you'll get some backlash lol except canadian geese. Fuck those flying carp.

my wife has decided that her solution to "how to pack for an RV trip we've never taken before" is "let's just pack everything." Joke's on her though when she remembers my gimpy ass can't load it into the truck.
Not from me... I usually take down at least a dozen starlings a year in the back yard... trying to keep the robins, jays, cardinals, wrens, etc, safe and multiplying. I fucking hate starlings with a passion.
I mean I get the thinking: I have the truck space, might as well use it. We're only gonna be gone for a few days, and it's only about 3 hours out of town, but I swear she's packing enough shit to last us weeks. Cool thing is that Ram has a shitload of fucking outlets. They really have thought of everything haven't they?
yes I can see why. This board has never steered me wrong on purchasing decisions, and the one regarding the truck was the best yet! Also, that way too expensive japanese table grill thing you bought led me to this, which is our BBQ grill for the RV trips now until we buy a trailer and get a proper setup in it.
What kind of psychopath builds a ballroom/ events center, and puts the bathrooms right next to the center stage?! Right now, I'm sitting in my car outside of an obscure ballroom in Starr County, Texas, holding my bladder while Jungle Julia and Li'l Bandit perform some music with one of her students. After I helped them unload all of their equipment, I asked where the bathroom was, and the student's grandfather pointed to a doorway right next to the main stage. There's no way that I'm walking up there in front of a bunch of judgemental Starr County people*. So here I wait. *For those of you unfamiliar, Starr County is, uh, it's different than the rest of Texas. The people here have a strange attitude, and the culture is different here; more isolated. Most people out here rarely leave their respective towns/ communities. This leads to a strong distrust of outsiders. This distrust hung in the air like a haze in that ballroom. Edit: fucking auto correct.
Today is a good day. Got lots of shit done around the house. The yard. More prep in the Tin Can (what I call the Airstream). Welded up my new cucumber trellis for next year. Made more sangria. Prepped a couple of chickens for the rotisserie, poured myself a rather stiff bourbon sour, and proceeded to pass out on the deck. Woke up to smoke. Weeeeee!
I will tell you right now… bourbon, with some honey/sour syrup, topped with soda and fresh basil, is fucking glorious. That is all.
