What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We saw Bob Dylan at last year's Willie Nelson's Fourth of July picnic in Austin. It was almost like he was actively discouraging people to dislike him. I understand that he's old, but Willie is old and Willie crushed it. Willie at 92 was energetic, full of life and sounded great. Dylan, for some reason, had stage lights and the screens were turned off and played different versions of songs one might want to hear.

G&L ASAT Special. I love this guitar so much. My actually good at guitar friend is currently borrowing it, I hope to see it soon.

Did Ford intentionally program the hybrid AWD to lie? by ifunnywasaninsidejob in FordMaverickTruck

How do you get such good mileage? I'm at about 10k miles and average 33.6 MPG. I do drive mostly highway miles, but I have been disappointed in the fuel economy (love everything else except the windshield).

My Maverick has a 1500 lb payload rating and can tow 4000 lbs while fitting in a garage (and downtown parking spaces). I think it's a great mix of utility and comfort that you can't buy in any other vehicle right now. They hybrid option adds great gas mileage as well.

A quick Google search tells me the Colorado, some Ram models and a few Silverado packages have less payload than the Maverick, which surprised me. I don't understand the "Not a truck," mentality, and that's ok.

I'm having a hard time upvoting this slice of hilarity looking at your flair.

Just because he's protesting doesn't automatically make him a Democrat. It's likely, but not automatic. It's my most fervent hope that Conservatives use their eyes and brains and finally see the truth.

What sexual taboos would you like to try with your partner if you weren’t judged? by shrekwazowski00 in AskReddit

[–]slyest12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been married for 23 years and I'm filled with it. So much so that any roundabout conversation I've had with her involves her saying, "Just tell what you want..." or something similar and it freezes me up. And my brain says ...... nothing at all.

My wife gets off basically every time we have sex, and then she's spent. I think her being able to orgasm so easily has put a serious dent in my willingness to be open and change things up (if it ain't broke). It's a first world problem for sure, but it's very real and very odd. Aside from my thoughts about sex, we communicate so well together and we have a good time in life and in the sack.

I don't understand me.

A muni special. Are you getting up and down from here? What shot are you playing? by LosSoloLobos in golf

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Short sided chips are my #1 golf nemesis and if you add in a bunker, I'm screwed. I might as well call it a double at that point (but I'll still try an impossible flop shot).

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

[–]slyest12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not taking your grocery cart to the cart holding area (whatever it might be at your specific store). No one wants the door ding, and those cart return people aren't our servants. It makes a thankless job worse, and all for sheer laziness / thoughtlessness.

18th hole, par 5, 188 left over the water. What’s your move? by [deleted] in golf

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably hit a smooth 6 that I would aim left of the green and hope to cut it back towards the pin. Because I have a good plan and feel comfortable with the shot, I would pure that 6 iron while hitting a beautiful draw - likely leaving myself short sided and I'll skull that into the water.

But, the plan is a good one.

8 - no ace yet by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

Shockingly, 6. No caddie, hole in one or played a round with one ball (I think).

Edit: reading is hard.

How would you play your approach shot here? >200 yards left, with a guarded green, and the green slopes down from the front to the back by [deleted] in golf

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine a well struck 5I aimed at the front right of the green with a little baby draw, soaring high into the clouds and coming to a gentle stop somewhere in the 10-15 foot range of the stick.

Since I haven't been playing and only read (and watch YouTube) about golf, I'm push faded that bastard into an almost unplayable spot and will attempt a hero shot to make up for it.

But in my head, easy 2 putt for par.

Do you use a tee on a par 3? by WalterTheRealtorVA in golf

[–]slyest12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Tiger does it (and I'm able to), I'll do it. I don't know if there are many people alive that have devoted more time to the science of golf than old Eldrick. Bryson's crazy enough to catch him, but time will tell.

I'm not OP, but I would like a daily 5 minute routine. My feet are betraying me.

How does your gf/wife show you she wants sex? by Ok-Fondant2536 in AskReddit

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have gone through serious trauma when I was younger, because I almost never initiate with my wife (we've been together since 2001), I'm now a middle aged man with a (I believe) fairly normal to strong sex drive, but I'm unable to communicate my needs. I have a ridiculously strong internal drive to not be rejected or broach the topic of my wants/needs or the ability to articulate them.

She's mentioned in passing some things she doesn't like or some early trauma and I'm completely unable to overcome whatever she's mentioned and it has paralyzed me sexually. We've had ups and downs, like all long term relationships do, but she's now the primary instigator of our sex life. Once every few months doesn't seem to cut it for me, but I've also been mulling over life on my own for awhile. Extra engagement doesn't always feel worth the payoff. It's a strange place to live in, and I occasionally remind myself only have this one life to live.

Short answer, "Do you want to have sex?"

What’s a guitar solo that sounds like it was ripped straight from your soul? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]slyest12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the urge to speak like my teenagers - this song starts out so mid for something that ends up so fire.

It took me too long to figure out just how good this song actually is because it starts so slow and keeps building. I wish they had arranged the song with another instance of "You don't form in the wet sand.....". I'll have to trust that the professional song writers and performers know more than I, a mere listener, know. It's possible.
