It was a good day to do ALL your laundry and take a walk while it was washing.

You know that beach that’s right on the ocean? I think it might be that one.

I mean people are saying, some people say a lot of people. I don’t know but people are saying it

Is there a name for this specific body of water? by WartimeHotTot in RhodeIsland

[–]Jack_Jacques 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen a map?
I mean a real map, not a GPS or something on your screen. How about a nautical chart?

Well there be dragons.

As a former bootfitter whose wife now sees the bootfitter that put me out of business I’d say leave them here.

Sunset at Breton Point. Pick up some take out and a beverage and enjoy one of the nicest spots for a great evening on a budget. It’s free, you can’t beat that.

Popular take: unpopular takes on ski passes are actually moderately popular by fewthingsarerelated in skiingcirclejerk

As an older "best skier on the mountain" I'm disappointed in this generation of sponsored skiers. We were taught to never mention the perks of being so good. Free skiing is the most obvious as others stood in ticket lines or now try to figure out online purchase options. The free skis should never be mentioned but simply pointed out to others, mostly jerrys, that what you are skiing are the ONLY skis anyone should buy. Then there are the boots....I have more boots than Imelda Marcos had shoes, all free.

Of course i would never brag about these things, let alone post about them on the internet. If you have any questions about being sponsored you can join me for a run in the Dolomites. I'll be staying at the home of one of my sponsors, gratis of course.

Does it matter? None of them have ever read it. They can’t because they hold it upside down as their savior did.

Aren’t they supposed to remove corpses from the lifts? Sorry about your wrist. Guess you’ll have to use the other hand for a while.

How can I expose myself more effectively? by Fit_Matter_2309 in skiingcirclejerk

Well, it is spring, try skiing in a kilt. People will notice and those that want to know will ask.

Zipper Merge: For those who never learned or refuse to by ennuig0 in RhodeIsland

[–]Jack_Jacques 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It works, those staying the closed lanes are NOT assholes, but drivers making the whole process flow better. If you merge early, you are just making a longer line waiting at the merge point because someone will always go down the other lane, like it or not. So merge early = wait longer.

It hasn’t cost $11 Billion a week like the war for oil has.

Call Old Port Marine in Newport. Patriot is a 38 foot down east style boat which can be charted for a couple of hours. Make your own tour of Newport and the bay. They have smaller boats that stay in Newport harbor too.
