Had a pair of these back in the day.
I still like 'em, but I'm not sure what I was thinking showing up for pickup ball with those on.
These were THE basketball shorts you had to have in 6th grade. Authentic only, not the screen printed versions. Wore my parents out for a pair, got them for Christmas, promptly got a hole in them a few weeks later.
Checked on eBay occasionally over the years. An authentic pair of Nike ones will run you a few hundred dollars, if you can even find them. Insane.
And [laughing] the mental image of JDrum of showing up to the gym rocking the Kente cloth Iverson shorts.
- muscles are nicely sore this morning. Just hiked around the woods at the farm for about an hour as today's exercise.
- Levi's 501s are the only jeans I've purchased in about a decade. I have 3 pair.
- I could kick the hell out of a kickball back in the day. I can still hear the sound of that ball bouncing off a kid trying to snag an extra base too #patoonk
- 40 was a breeze, when I got to 41 though I started realizing that statistically I'm over the hump. That sort of got me a bit.
- breakfast for dinner last night in honor of the fools that don't like breakfast food
- fishing is easily my favorite leisure activity, and has been since I can remember
- I used to bowl all the time. I bowled over 270 one time, had something like 7 or 8 strikes in a row. People were gathered up watching until I missed a couple of pins.

Buddy Pee is better
We played the hell out of Alaskan Mat Ball. Pretty sure that’s exclusively a dorky private school/Sayre thing.
What’s your Manhattan recipe? I haven’t had much success- although my Old Fashioneds are legit.
Dad and his brothers were all bowlers. A few them are still rolling and really good. Like most southend kids I was in a league for a few years as a yout.
Get your owns shoes for sure. Those rentals are awful.

Those are the ones my man. Guess I thought my wife is cheaper than she actually is.
WCC: 3 parts woodford or knob creek, 1 part martini and rossi sweet vermouth, 3 dashes angusturo bitters, one of the said cherries and one spoonful of the cherry juice from that bottle.

We keep a jar of orange peel strips soaking in simple syrup in the fridge. Lasts forever.
My go-to cocktail is a modified Old-Fashioned:
2 oz bourbon of choice
1/2 tsp of Benedictine
2 drops of Angostura bitters
Orange peel
Cherry (Luxardo or Filthy)

The kids at Cassidy playground play some game called ga ga ball. No idea the rules, but they seem to enjoy it.
I certainly enjoy both, but Manhattan >>>>>>>>>> Old Fashioned.
Or, "Old Fashion" as so many people love to say. :uzi:

I was going to mention the crew used to have a good time bowling on occasion back in the day until SOMEONE had to ruin it. Thanks Adrian.
I would occasionally go to the bowling alley bar after waiting tables at Rafferty’s b/c someone knew someone playing in the bowling alley bar band. Most nights post serving were spent at Malibu Pub though. Love that place.

Gaga ball is the new playground game that’s sweeping the nation and camps.
Looks like a kiddie Thunderdome actually

A wise person once said the key to a quality Old Fashioned is a healthy pour of Old Fo Birthday bourbon. Give that a go and see if you still worship your Manhattan, bub.
Yeah Krazy is like the world's most interesting man, if they had a retarded version.
And I obviously have the best Bowling name in gyero dumbasses.
Bowled in some youth leagues, and a couple of leagues in Germany, when I was in the Air Force. I'm good for about 160 most games, only broken 200 one time in my life. I was more interested in drinking than bowling.
Pretty sure I’ve said this before, but I once bowled an 8 in a bowling game. An 8. It was a middle school field trip to the bowling alley for gym class.

I had the navy version. Back then, I was lean and mean, fightin' the power and eatin' whatever I wanted.
Could actually run a bit and hoop despite my inherited pastiness. Got pretty decent at one time playing against the great Harlan HS players of that time.
For sure. I've just never figured out what that skill is. You'd think it's pretty easy. A ball. Ten pins. How hard is it???
Too complicated for a marginal outcome, imo. Pour bourbon, add 1 cube of ice.
Manhattan IS better than an Old Fashoned. Most "up" cocktails are superior to those made on the rocks.
Somebody mentioned Luxardo. I have a hard time finding it sometimes, but it's a key ingredient in my favorite warm weather cocktail: The Aviation. (as long as it's dry, and not that ridiculous purple drank you see in most recipes online, from pouring more than a drop of violette in it)

It’s like two minutes. Usually just neat for me but sometimes an Old Fashioned hits the spot.

@BBdK I used a domesto straight ball because I thought it was funny and it was cheap. I think a lot of people share that sentiment.
@jeff The key to bowling, for me, was accuracy by using your arm as a pendulum. Early on you want to rip it hard but end up in the gutter because your arm isn't straight. The best bowler in our league was in his 60s and threw the ball slightly harder than the kids rack mount.

Man, I was looking forward to seeing Davis become an All-American.
They are excellent jeans. Own 3 pair.
