SinceThe70s

I played recently on the table I grew up with and the results where underwhelming (playing righty). Great/horrible story about your friend. I've always been fascinated with trying to do things 'wrong-handed'. Bored in the backyard in the past year or so me and my two boys were trying to throw a football lefty. Very awkward but we managed - forced us to think about technique instead of just chucking.

My quirk is that I do everything righty except kicking. Although if I do kick righty it's much less awkward than doing anything else I try lefty - with maybe one exception. Back in the day I was a pretty good pool shot (grew up with a full size table in the basement) and my friends were at best average. Sometimes after a few beers I'd play lefty and I got good enough to beat them more often than not.

I'll have to ask him about lacrosse - my guess is he holds it righty because it's more of a throwing motion - although in fairness all we've ever done is have a lax catch in the backyard.

My oldest son is only left-handed when 'swinging' with two hands - baseball and hockey. For tennis, ping-pong, badminton etc. ..he's a righty.

I'm out of town and didn't catch any of that. Sounds like trouble-brewing - playing things out in the press rarely ends well. It wouldn't surprise if something had been brewing between the two for awhile.

Islander fan so perhaps I'm missing the Sabre fan perspective, but my immediate reaction is to disagree with the bolded. Regular season hockey and post season hockey are two different animals. I think there's value in getting to the playoffs for an up and coming team - as the Sabres appear to be - even if it means getting embarrassed. (btw - I get that the Golden Knights blew up my line of thinking their first year)

… What do you mean, I hurt your feelings? I didn't know you had any feelings What do you mean, I ain't kind? Just not your kind What do you mean, I couldn't be the President Of the United States of America? Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?

Does anyone here think that calling a ball or strike when a pitch has not been thrown is a good idea? I know it's been less than a week (I don't pay much attention to spring training) but so far I despise the clock. The intent behind it is fine, 4 hour 9 inning games were ridiculous. TBH I'm perfectly fine with a 3 hour game - the giddiness over a 2 1/2 hour game escapes me. MLB and the umpires effed up when they weren't able/willing to control the pace of play without a clock. On the flip side, the anti-shift rules have been a fart in the wind to me. I'm not a fan of the rule but I haven't had an old man yells at the clouds moment yet.

For the times That you wanna go and bust rhymes real slow I'll appear Slap you on the face and enjoy the show This dope nose

It really makes no difference long as I get lit Roll it in my Zig Zag take a big bone hit

I was born my papa's son When I hit the ground I was on the run

Conscience was related Man he was created Lady luck took him by surprise A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes

I love to feel the rain in the summertime I love to feel the rain on my face

Thanks for sharing. My favorite Q/A was : Q: How much is for the sound and how much is for the humor? A: Both, the goal here is entertainment.

Yup, it's remarkable: https://www.mlb.com/news/opening-day-wins-by-mlb-team-c268497122 LAMP alert, read on at your own discretion. Had to fact check my memory, but in 1990 I was at one of the losses - and it was brutal. Gooden started and got clobbered by Andy Van Slyke (great player) and the Pirates. It was a full day for me and my friends as we went straight from Shea Stadium to the Nassau Coliseum for an Islanders/Rangers playoff game. The game went to OT and I remember being so exhausted (two pre-game tailgates in one day) that I just wanted the game to end. Of course it went to double OT so I had to stay awake through the 15 minute intermission and then the Isles won 59 seconds into the second OT. I was more relieved it was over than overjoyed at the win. P.S. - just checked the box score and holy crap that Pirates team was loaded: Bonds, Bonilla, Jay Bell, Wally Backman, Sid Bream, Jose Lind and Mike LaValierre. Leyland was the manager.

If I agree to what comes next I would be faking with the best of them It seems a crime I would commit Without the difference of all the world's gifts Sweet, sweet, sweet Could you taste it?

Q: Why do you keep banging your head against the wall? A: Because it feels so good when I stop.

I'm definitely in that camp - even though I haven't driven a stick in 20+ years. My kids noticed that I still keep my right hand on the shift when I drive.

The very first car I bought only came equipped with a manual transmission. I was fretting about buying a car I couldn't actually drive until my mother told me that she learned to drive with a stick. My father had to drive the car off the lot.
