The Flame-Free Confession Thread

Off-topic from the current discussion, but on-topic for the thread-at-large:

Confession time: I hate basketball. Especially college basketball. Tremendous waste of money, energy, and resources. I also can’t stand football, even though I used to play. I enjoy attending a baseball game, but couldn’t be paid to watch it on TV.

This stuff coming out about adidas and Nike bribing kids to go to college teams they sponsor? I hope both companies burn. I hope it causes the downfall of the ncaa, nba, Nike, adidas, and all the BS money that chases people putting balls into designated areas.

Hockey’s cool, I always liked heckling the zamboni drivers. And the fights were awesome. This was back in the days of the panther’s rat-shot.

When my daughter was 3, we were eating at a Bbq place with sports on TVs. She pointed to the one showing hockey and said: “do you know what they call that?” “No, honey, what?” “Skate-golf”

End rant.

Perhaps the most un-Australian thing that I will ever say: “I hate Bundy Rum”.

I seriously cannot bring myself to enjoy any of it. White rum is ok, Jamaican Rum is good but usually I’m a bourbon or scotch or whisky drinker.

Always start with a beer though, whether it be a crisp lager, a tasty pilsner or a thick stout.

Hugh Heffner has passed away (RIP)…

The only Playboy I ever looked at was one in a stack I found in the street as a 15 year old.

Ethiopian natural process FTW. Like strawberry-jam.

I’m with @Frank_C, different occasions call for different beers. I’m admittedly a bit of a beer snob, mainly because i love variety. But i made the mistake of buying founders session ipa for a river floating trip and ended up drinking everyone’s coors.

Been getting really into sours and goses lately, they are surprisingly refreshing. Just fell in love with a watermelon ipa.

I dont care for jack og, but love their single barrel. Had a glass of walker blue that blew my mind though. God i love scotch…

It so is. It’s incredible the amount of people I’ve met who can handle their beer or other spirits, but once they have some rum, they turn into lunatics.

When it comes to Whisky, I really like Bruichladdich.

I’ve never understood people who fight when they drink. I either fall asleep, or, if with a bunch of people, I turn into an arrogant asshole; I usually just become very B&W asking people why they are wasting their lives away.

My limit is about 6. After that I become an unbearably arrogant, aggressive d-bag. Basically the exact opposite of my sober self.

In other news I pulled a pec yesterday. Bruised up and everything. I’d love to claim I overdid it in the gym, but I managed to pull this off by trying to scratch my back. FML I’m old.

Alcohol doesn’t change your personality. It merely amplifies what’s already there when it removes your manners and inhibitions.

I’ve never seen my Father drunk. I asked him once when I was 8 or 10 yrs. old why I never see him drink. He told me because if deep down inside your an asshole, and you get drunk, everybody else finds out.

My dad has 2 brothers. When they all get together and drink:

Dad gets real mellow and happy.
One uncle gets downright mean.
One uncle acts like a know-it-all and gives advice nobody asked for.

I LOVE 20 REP SQUATS…

…20 minutes after I’m done with it and I can move and breathe properly.

I have concluded, that allot of people will blame what ever program they are doing for their lack progress. Before they will take personal responsibility for it.
