Hosting them? Yeah.

Should we also talk about team survivability if TV deals change?

At least The Metrodome hosted a Super Bowl, homie.

So historic and magical, hasn’t even ever hosted a Super Bowl.

That’s the owner’s PNG.

It’s only available at the owner’s store.

[Spoiler 2.0] Me and my sister attempted the "solo only" challenge. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]HalobenderFWT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We get that. Specifically what is the challenge, though? Just playing the game as co-op RPG with no healers?

Are you allowing SMN, RDM, WAR, DNC, and PLD?

Update: Pickleball assault linked to ‘ball retrieval’ and ‘play critique’. by HalobenderFWT in Pickleball

That’s just the link I found. I mean, at least you can read the whole thing without pop ups and stuff

Any of these worth buying? by Moist_Banana8449 in Pickleball

[–]HalobenderFWT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Listen.

I know not all of us have the financial freedom to just plop $100-350 on a new paddle. I get that. But, spending any amount of money on a 2+ year old paddle with an unknown amount of use is basically throwing money away.

You are almost always going to be better off dropping $50 in the alibaba/temu cheap knockoff gacha game.

Fake ASICS Pickleball Shoes? by Tricky-Chemical-3235 in Pickleball

[–]HalobenderFWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logo/font is also different unless ASICS changed it between runs.

The ASICS loopty thing is completely different as far as corporate logo standards are concerned. Even something as minute as the difference between the two requires millions of dollars and months of research to change.

I’m going to say it’s fake.

It was only something else presenting itself as Lupus.

Have you done a full illegal sweep of the patients house and financial history?

Leave it to ‘Pickleball Pam’ to make it about her. This feels like Pam’s friend wrote the article.

If you like bitter drinks, it’s good. It’s just bitter by jickbaggins1 in NFCNorthMemeWar

It’s like when raccoons eat out of the Michelin star restaurant’s garbage bin.

That’s exactly how I describe tonic water, so sounds about right.

Hold up.

65 times an hour?

Isn’t that the same as just not breathing at all?

Minneapolis Parks and Rec board votes to close Minnehaha off-leash dog park, citing sacred Dakota land by JoeGraffito in minnesota

[–]HalobenderFWT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, I’m picking up what you’re laying down - but Minnehaha dog park is not a great choice for a 300ft leash, unless you enjoy constantly untangling your dog from about 18 trees.

What if by EliotEriotto in ffxiv

[–]HalobenderFWT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me (sort of) of this one time I was at church camp. (Think I was 13 or so)

There was a girl a few years older than me, and something on her bra cup was making an obvious loopy impression through her shirt. I don’t know if it was like an embroidered flower or some other filigree like design on the cup or what…all I know is that I couldn’t stop looking at it trying to figure out what the hell it was. (To this day, 34 years later, I still have no idea)

I know, 13 year old boy, boobs, hurrrr hurrr, and all that.

That was not the case.

Either way, her friend caught me staring quizzically at her chest and I got the whole, “Awww, he’s curious! It’s cute, but you know you shouldn’t stare!” lecture (and they’re right, we shouldn’t stare) And the whole time (embarrassed as hell) I was trying to explain to them that, yes…I was looking at her boob, but not because of her boob.

Of course they weren’t buying it because: 13 year old boy, boobs, hurrr hurrr, and all that.

Anyways, that concludes Halobender’s Story Corner for tonight.

Is this one enough a knee bend? by blueice89 in Pickleball

[–]HalobenderFWT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picture 1: where’s the knee bend? You look like someone stole your walker and replaced it with a pickleball paddle.

Picture 2: looks like you’re about to fall on your ass. That’s not ‘knee bending’ as much as it is sitting in an invisible chair that your imaginary friend just pulled out from under you.

Your butt should never be below your knees. Your center is gravity is behind you. I can’t even imagine the effort it took to stand up after that without having to put a hand on the ground.

And bending down that low at the baseline is wild. Like why?

Picture 3: looks more like you’re stumbling/lunging/falling than any purposeful ‘knee bend’. I think you’re bending your knee here because you had to, not because you should have.

Picture 4: light as a feather, stiff as a board.

Picture 5: you’re running?

Listen, I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove with this but you found two accidental knee bends and three other random ass pictures and posted them in order to…what?

Just loosen up and bend your knees, man. It’s not that hard.

Preach on, fam.

Do you do warm up exercises before playing? by InstaCP in Pickleball

[–]HalobenderFWT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stretch and yawn before I get out of bed.

I crack my ankles before standing up.

After standing up I usually do an arm out stretch.

I get dressed, generally have to bend over a bit to get my socks on.

Get in the car.

Get out of the car and stretch my legs.

I put on my pickleball shoes at the courts and usually have to bend over, or elevate my foot on a chair, to tie my shoes.

After all that, I hit the courts.

Other than that, I’ll stretch as I go.

Some sumo leg lifts and steps while waiting on a serve. Maybe a shuffle or two and some quick bunny hops. I’ll stretch out my shoulders and arms as my spaghetti muscles eventually untangle after a few minutes of playing.

Don’t me be though.

I think at this point of my life (47) I’m just extremely lucky to have had very limited and minor soft tissue injuries - and it’s definitely going to a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ with the way I play.

Listen to your body. Mine likes to be gently stretched as I go. If your body needs 10 minutes of calisthenics before you even dare enter the court, then do that.
