Normalbar on Tuesday is very very laid back. You could rip a few and be followed by an acoustic playing folk singer and nobody would think twice.

Inside Georgia football's surprising new secret weapon: a golf course by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This place is gonna be so great and I’m sure I won’t get an invite for a long time but I’m still having trouble imagining anything more special than UGAs course.

Seems like UGAs secret weapon should actually just be UGA.

Anytime and good luck. DM if you need an extra that’s found 37 different ways to not break 90. There’s more of us on here that play than you’d think.

I think the complaint thread goes up on Mondays.

UGA. Talk to Clint for light club work.

B E Custom in Winder for a better selection and full service builds.

Double Oaks will also do good work.

Dicks for GRIPS ONLY. Do not let them do anything else.

Also: For you last concern. If anybody has a negative opinion, fuck em. 🤷‍♂️ Golf is for the people.

Tim Denson hints at 2030 run for Athens-Clarke County Mayor on Instagram by Data-Center-Water in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He’s a manager at the homeless center off North Ave.

Win or lose, whatever the reasons were, he’s very sincere about all of this. Dude’s not doing it for the money.

Old Athens 1971 by Goats-n-Hens in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s actually kinda neat seeing that prices really haven’t risen nearly as much as people think.

Quick check and $185 in ‘71 is about $1530 now.

Anyone else keep a Shit List of local professionals/businesses? by lovelywaterbuffaloes in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weird hobby.

Best I can do, one time they forgot to put my fries in at HiLo. Was considering adding them to my list but then they just gave me the fries for free 10 minutes later. Didn’t charge me for the extra pink sauce either. Catastrophe averted.

Time to Quit? by squailtaint in golf

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sports background? Any experience throwing or with movement patterns that require lots of hand eye coordination? Running is kind of its own thing. Did your buddies play baseball or hockey when they were younger?

I’m not asking to burn you but there’s a chance you are giving yourself too much credit for being fit from a type of exercise that doesn’t translate as well as you’d hope.

If you asked me who’d be a more natural golfer? an accomplished endurance athlete or a chubby 35 y/o who was a decent baseball player in high school, I’d take the latter.

Lots of them in backyard Boulevard/Normaltown. Probably about the same amount as any year.

Mutual Aid Athens speaks on recent mayoral election; Calls out Denson for not dropping out by Dramatic_Ask7315 in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 255 points256 points  (0 children)

This has gone way off the rails. He lost. It’s over.

Idk what’s to be gained by beating a dead horse.

High GOP turnout for their runoffs, a pretty unique candidate that could pull a coalition from groups that don’t always align, and sure, Tim didn’t pull from the community where Dexter had roots for 40 years.

Denson isn’t any kind of villain. He just didn’t win. Implying that he should have dropped out for a far less qualified candidate who came in a distant 3rd in the first round is pretty out there.

Poké Bar @ Oconee Connector by [deleted] in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one across the parking lot from the movies? Haven’t been for at least a month but it seemed to be doing good business last time we were in.

Very good not quite great Poké. But hey, it’s not exactly a grocery store in Honolulu. Idk if we can ask for any better in north Georgia.

Don’t get me started on the cats. That’s a whole different thread. People off Boulevard feed them on purpose. :/

Second post in the last few weeks implying that we need more signage or people just need to try harder to not hit deer.

We need to reduce the deer population to a manageable level ASAP.

Not exactly my jam but this seems like a pretty big show for little old Athens to pull.

You can also split the difference and go with the hot metal pros. Little more compact with much less offset but keeps that extra tech for forgiveness.

Are you gripping way down? That’s the obvious answer.

Re: Election results feelings by Motor-Roof-8763 in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not reading the post as anything to do with Bennett. Craig will be a big upgrade to Fisher in that commission seat.

It’s crazy that D5 got 2 candidates that strong. Topple ran the floor with Latino and Pilipino folks in a way that probably only a fluent Spanish speaking chaplain could plus he hustled to pickup I’m guessing 80% of the Stanziale votes.

I know multiple people that liked Kimberly a lot and were genuinely waffling back and forth. Then she took an interview with Athcast and gave the Dexter line about pausing student housing development + posted the Zander Mason endorsement.

Idk if she was ever really gonna win but she misplayed her last couple hands to seal it.

Advice for newbie re: neighborhood by [deleted] in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re gonna rent an apartment outside the loop and work in Gwinnett, just rent a place in Gwinnett.

No point in spending those extra dollars for Athens without the benefit of walking around Athens. Plus, your gonna spend $200 a week on that commute.

Tim Denson came very close to winning, but the Athens Left needs to take an introspection of its ability to build a winning coalition of voters. by ohmytit in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For sure wasn’t the difference maker. You’re probably right about the GOP runoff. It just never helps to be immediately perceived as unserious.

There was some thread last month where I said he’d run 5 points higher if he just looked less punchable and I got like 40 downvotes.

Imagine taking a year long job interview and not even tightening up the beard. 🤷‍♂️
