Default To hell with golf, I'm going fishing

But unless you walk on water, fishing doesn't do much to keep the
weight and cholesterol down.

I was thinking the other day, while playing, that I'd probably never
get very good at the game. I've been playing for five years now, and
shoot in the 90's regularly. But, every so often I'll bang out a 108
just to keep my head from getting too big. It's frustrating. You know
you can hit the ball well, but the last shot went into the woods. It
gets very demoralizing.

One of the flaming asses here, name of herring, plays around at playing
golf, and I think he's been trying it for four or five years. He's no
better at golf than anything else he has tried in his life...mediocre at
best.


How the hell would you know? I don't recall him posting scores. WAFA

Harry bragged about shooting in the 70's the first time he played the
game. One who is that good has the right to look down on us amateurs.

Keep that in mind when you accuse others of 'reverse Harryanism'. It
means they're telling the truth.

Go fishing. The white bass are biting. We caught 130 in four hours
yesterday.

The boat could be a problem though...


What boat problem would that be?

A better question is why anyone would want to *catch* that many fish.
It's gluttony at its worst.


I'm sorry. Was I drunk or absent the day you were put in charge of every
little thing? This is a free country, last I looked. Go **** yourself. As
long as I eat the fish, I'll catch all that I legally can.

You ****ing asshole. Gluttony and self-indulgence at its worst, to me, is
someone with a keyboard and no life who has to comment negatively 150 times
a day about all manner of triviality.

I played at Golf at one time. I despaired of ever breaking a hundred.
Then I discovered the secret and I can do that every time. When I
reach 99 I pick up my ball and head for the clubhouse.

You're supposed to keep score?

Well, Steve-o, you're nothing if not trivial. Hope you choke on your
overcatch.
