So, humans twerking is too much for you? But you like admiring muscular naked chimps? You do you, Jack. You do you.

Just doing my job of posting interesting and/or educational stuff to the masses.

That an old Taylormade R7 ?

Strata. I'm pretty new to the golf game and took a few recommendations from friends on cheap, durable clubs to start with.

Stranger Things finale, holy shit!!

Unbelievable

Can't wait to see it. Might be next week...have to watch them with Girl, and our schedules aren't conducive to 6 hrs of screen time until then

I can't f***ing believe this isn't a landslide. Giant Tortoises can weigh 500 or more pounds and are covered in armor. Why the f*** would you want to fight that? Sure sloths have talons, but their reaction time is next to nothing, they're much lighter, smaller, and have no shell.

Get with the damn program

Is that still a thing?

I remember having so many random "asl" messages on IRC like decades ago.

Right on. Take it slow and have fun.
If you start to like it , a few lessons will be a game changer.

Use terrain to your advantage. Flip tortoise over, game over. The sloth will keep coming for you.

Yeah, I was out with my buddy yesterday. He's teaching me to focus on control over power/distance first. My last 30-40 balls were just about dead center drives, where I was aiming for. Most were falling between the 175-200 range but I felt I had a good groove going in controlling placement, digging several off the distance markers (which was the aim).

Seems super short for a driver, but he also said distance will come in time and at this stage, you want to just aim for playable balls.

About to see the new Minions movie tonight, because my kid wants it. 90% odds it will be & remain the most enjoyable moment of the week.

Five. Hundred. Pounds.

You're not flipping a tortoise. They're huge.

When you get a Sulcata tortoise, they eventually grow to a size where they just start walking through the walls like the Kool-Aid man. Tortoises are inevitable

The context for this statement never matters. I always let out an audible chuckle anytime i see a Kool-Aid man reference.

 

[Lord Defect]

The thing with tortoises is that they can only attack with their weak point. They send out their soft mushy head to bite and wind up self impaling themselves. Then you got 500lbs of meat and a cool bowl.

Why do old people always have to use speakerphone even when they start talking about private family matters while they're out in public?

Your swing is all about maintaining a smooth tempo from backswing to follow through

Old people? I almost always see this with people younger than me.

 

[BigToe]

I just did some sloth searching googlings. They’re more dangerous than I thought. Sloth is such a good name for that thing. Shoutout to whoever named it sloth.

Tiger traps are for tigers

 

[Flybynite]

People fleeing a 4th of July parade in Highland, Illinois after a mass shooting event where 8 or more have been shot... running past this band on a float playing patriotic music as they try to flee to safety.



Reports are the shooter fired from the roof of a outdoors shop and managed to get away.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So well regulated.


Anyway, I'm doing my annual Hamilton viewing. Groff clearly is having the time of his life as Georgey

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He sounded like Marv in Home Alone.
