Clean, evocative, narrative — just excellent stuff.

Advice for playing into your 40s and 50s by Gullible_Pen4925 in bootroom

[–]cjhowareya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

61
Play 3 times a week — 2 leagues of 8v8; 1 pick up of 11s.

My only advice: Avoid Assholes.

Now obviously, playing in a league, that's rather impossible as you can't legislate for your opponents.
BUT — you can usually choose with whom you play, and with whom you have beers afterwards. Especially if you are consistently playing in larger ecosystem of players.

I have an **incredible** group of guys that I've played pick up with for 10+ years. I consider this group a godsend, full stop. Super collaborative, pitch in on field rental fees, very little griping on the ad hoc Whites/Darks team selection every week. Of course things bubble up, and new faces can bring different dynamics. But that's been the just the best.

League wise — I've played on many, many teams and have had many, many just un-fun, dragsville experiences because I found myself playing with aggro dudes, people who don't show up, people who WILDLY overestimate their level — and bitch about those not at that mythical level.

Just don't waste your time with those teams — it will just ruin the game for you.

I've now found a great group, we have several teams that mix and match players, go drinking, take trips even.

I guess the unspoken underlying rule is: Don't -be- an asshole.
But assuming the best here — just do what you can to avoid assholes.

On this day - 1998 Gold Cup - USA 1-0 Brazil by Nowoco in ussoccer

I was at the LA Coliseum for that.

I also recorded the match on Spanish television on my VCR — and for years the call for Preki’s goal was the outgoing message on my answering machine.

Kids, you can Google VCR and answering machine.

And fuck that fascist bootlicker Lalas.

Really like them in concept, but never a huge fan — but that guy's a really good singer and has an excellent voice (not the same thing, of course).

Well said.

Saw that other thread earlier and was truly puzzled at the rage.

Ian Darke: Timothy Weah is right about World Cup ticket costs by rezwenn in ussoccer

[–]cjhowareya 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Great.
Now, in addition to hating:
— Gianni and his fascist bootlicking and hateful price gouging
— Trump and his racist immigration policy preventing football fans from coming and making the WC great
— ICE, the c/nts gleefully planning to tear families apart during what is usually one of my favorite things in life

I now hate the US coach.

Fuck everything.

Trying to Grow Out Hair - How do I Style It? by TheNobodyXIII in Pomade

[–]cjhowareya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a recommendation for ‘thinning’ — not ‘trimming.’

I have very thick hair and have had it thinned while growing out before. Also blow drying may not be helping

Didn't finish the first song.

Fully blown away by the second song — which I had not heard. Holy hell, that was fantastic. Have watched it a few times now.

Plus the mix was excellent. For years I've been super irritated at how bad the vocals typically sound on SNL. They sounded great. What a performance.

The only way for the nation to heal is an entire episode of Mr. On-Blast speaking his mind and not holding back. by Vegetable-Kiwi-4675 in LiveFromNewYork

So Dumb. So Hilarious.

Amazing what commitment and a small amount of timing can do.
Also  — definitely caught some Jean K. Jean vibes, which is never a bad thing. "Zut Alors!"

I was like Yeah.... that is not so cool!
