Heheyyy I used to play tennis as well during summers when I was a kid. Casually I think it was the sport where I had the most fun playing. But I wasn’t good enough to do it seriously.

You should pick it back up. Go get AT LEAST two matching racquets, the latest fad colored textured shaped poly string, no dampener, and shoes, socks, shorts, shirt, and headband that match. Win the warmup in your next match (basically on a rally ball blast a winner while grunting and then say "sorry") and you will be in all of your opponents heads.

This is the geezer thread, right? Pickleball is for those who wish they could play tennis, but are just a little questionable on moving around.

I would, but it seems a little too rough and tumble for me.
We have an admin at work that loves to brag about how good she is, is ranked, etc. Funny thing is, she is like 20 years younger than everyone she plays. Can't imagine why she has little competition haha

Keep an eye on her. She's figured out one of the secrets to life. Hang with the older crowd, and you'll always be able to whup their asses in sports.

My wife asked me earlier if I wanna do any particular dinner before I leave. Leaving being I’m literally just doing a fly-in show and will be gone for like barely 3 days 🤣 .

That said, all this Popeyes talk is making me wanna get PDQ.

How did that work out for you?

Great. I got an extremely fresh batch.

But even though it sounded like that in my head, I think in reality it came out more like “Excuse me sir, the only thing we are missing is an order of Cajun fries” and he gave me a latex gloved fist bump and said I got you.

He gave you the fist and not the 'bow, you must have made a really good impression.
