  1. Oh, and to beat @DDD Dad to the punch, I also once four-putted from 25' to lose a significant amount of money for he and I to another surly poster. We were playing at a VERY nice club in Ft. Worth, and that was a costly lunch.
  2. Everyone has this story :). I was playing in one of the big GCAmTour (RIP) tournaments at Streamsong in Florida. I woke up Saturday (1st round) and was really struggling. Got it around the first 10 holes ok, then game went completely away. Got it back and birdied 16, parred 17, and needed par on 18 to break 80. PIPED a fucking drive, caught the speed slot down the hill, had 152 to the pin, which is a fucking driving-range 8i. Straight-up skulled it long into the hazard, made double, 81. Breaking 80 with the game I had that day would have been massive. Oh well.
  3. I've got a buy order in for XMET at .001, but it's refusing to drop below about .0014. May raise my limit this afternoon ...
  4. Thinking of getting mo' deeper into the OTC world. Are there regulatory or individual-investor things I need to watch out for, other than the "caveat emptor" that these are non-regulated or less-regulated industries and thus carry the of risk just suddenly going to 0? Second risk I see is possibly not having buyers for shares I may own, due to market size (i.e. they're smaller exchanges with fewer buyers). I'm familiar with the OTC markets in broad terms, would love any second-level insight. Thanks.
  5. Lol. Passed the news to a buddy. He replied "hell yeah, I'm in brother. Invested all the cash left in my account ... $35!" Ride or die, RDC. Let's do this. What other .0005-.001's are you watching?
  6. Fuck it. I'm loving the r/m concepts. In on TSNP at .201 for a not-insignificant amount. Let's see $-land and I'll happily take the quick profits.
  7. oh, and does Surly need to take up a collection for you to get some professional headshots done? The hardhat look went out of vogue in '96, pro.
  8. How is it possible that your CEO looks SO RUSSIAN? Like, is he TRYING to look that Russian?
  9. Holy fuck this is flawless.
  10. Well, they were off in one of two ways ... either the Independent / Undecided logic was fucked, or the error bars were WAY too narrow. Take your pick.
  11. I mean, sure, but slowing him down when he's got the hot hand is sort of counter-productive to actually getting him TO the league.
  12. Good lord, an adult is back in the room. This is epic.
  13. God this game wears me out sometimes. Played Grey Rock from the white tees today with my dad. It's a good exercise, because I need the practice hitting irons. I've been in a serious free-fall over the last six months. So today, what do I do? I proceed to hit 16 greens (17 if you count the double with a ball OB, the second ball was GIR). And 37 putts. SMOOTH little 74. Iron play was way, way better tho, so i'll definitely take it. Just frustrating to not get anything to go in. I counted 9 putts inside of 15' today for birdie or eagle, not one of them even lipped out (although two died center-cut, but short).
  14. Didn't end up installing the pocket door during a recent project. Has everything you need, all purchased locally from HD. https://austin.craigslist.org/mat/d/austin-pocket-door-frame-hardware-door/7223947144.html
  15. My vote would be that they bulldoze #18 on clay for the putting course Haha seconded. That hole blowz.
  16. "Joe, joe don't do that, oh oh!" had me cracking up.
  17. Interestingly, this song also wins the "best song with bagpipes in it" category.
  18. real grass would never work at TopGolf, but I'd love to see someplace with a decent amount of land try it - maybe Clay/Kizer, who already have lights in place, and a short course requiring maintenance. They could take the last ~20 yards of the range, and bulldoze the fake practice green on the short course. Together you could put 12-14 really good holes on a meandering, real-grass putting green complex. Charge me $20 for unlimited play, $10 for an hour.
  19. I"d pay well to be able to play legit mini-golf in a topgolf-like setting. Well-maintained turf, holes laid out in a realistic way, games that can match golfers and non-golfers (like the OG topgolf product). Find a way to capture the "expansive putting course / 19th hole" feel from places like Pinehurst (the Cradle) and Bandon (the punchbowl), and it could work. I'm not sure how to run the business, but I'd pay for a quality experience for certain.
  20. This is the show I've been turning people onto when I get asked what I'm watching. It feels good to be able to recommend something that's fundamentally about good people treating other people well. I think I might start a re-watch tonight!
  21. LMK If you want to fire him, and hire me.
  22. Hit 6 greens, 35 putts for a smooooooth 85 yesterday (and lost a pile of benjamins in the process). Fuck this game.
  23. Scaife is a GREAT pick.
  24. Weird concept, eliminating ones alma mater. I'm going to include them anyway. QB: Farve (Vince. If you say anyone else you're either older than 70, or wrong) RB: Barry Sanders (Ricky because I was in college for his Heisman year, and on the field for that A&M game, but Ced for what he meant to our leap into a national title contender) WR: Megatron (Mike Adams for my formative high school years watching the horns win some games they shouldn't, Roy Williams for that freshman campaign, and Jordan Shipley because Jordan Shipley) TE: Tony Gonzales, who made every Rob Gronkowski possible (David Thomas. If you say anyone else you're either older than 70, or wrong).
