The perfect mouthpiece does not exist. Only the quest.

[TubaRay]

Just don't call me late for dinner.

Fair enough!

[TubaRay]

The perfect mouthpiece does not exist. Only the quest.

Ah! But the quest is what it's all about. Or is that the Hokey Pokey? I think I'm confused again.

[TubaRay]

Ray, sounds like you need some golf again...
Ken F.

Ah, Ken. This has not been happening lately. I have come to recognize that playing golf and playing tuba, for me, don't seem to happen during the same periods of time. Sometimes I am busy playing tuba. This has been true for the last three months. My golf game gets virtually ignored. When the tuba gigs aren't happening, sometimes I can play more golf.

Let's see. Let's examine the facts. I enjoy both playing tuba and playing golf. Golf: costs money. Tuba: makes money. Gosh! When I have the choice to make, which one should I choose.

Well. This week will be family(as in extended family) activites. I may get to play one round of golf with my brother-in-law and my niece's husband. We'll see. Whatever happens, it likely won't be a pretty sight. I haven't swung a club in about two months.

I see people who love to categorize, compartmentalize and classify people into all these things.

The way I've heard it, there are two types of people: Those who classify things into two catagories, and those who don't.

...once again;

"Yawn"

but at least this thread does make for some interesting google ads.
Africa?....hell, I'm still trying to finally get west of the Mississippi
Tubaryan "don't call me 'African-American'" 12

' just as I have often found...

People who are engaged, accomplish stuff, and live *real* lives often do not think of themselves as parts of some faces-on-TV-contrived "groups".

Ryan, how 'bout "one-of-my-favorite-American(s)"?

bloke "who enjoys watching from afar Ryan's 'Odyssey for the Perfect Mouthpiece'...knowing full well that, eventually, it will prove to be a glitter gold Kellyberg"

Thank you for, once again, making me laugh out loud.

as for the Kellyberg, you are probably more correct than I am willing to admit. If I do go that way, I think I'll stick with the crystal orange.

The term, "Native American" is being wedged into English (or, at least, the American) language to refer to tribal Americans (ie: "Indians" - Apache, Cherokee, Arapaho, etc.) who were on the North American continent prior to Caucasians (unless you're a Mormon, and believe otherwise ).

After reading your other poll posting where you described your usual motivation in posting, I can see how you're deriving a great deal of entertainment from this thread. I have also.

Your reference to Mormon theology is an oversimplification of what is, even within that faith, a complicated and sometimes controversial topic.

So cheap golf is all I got to relieve some stress.
Ken F.

Golf w/ stress relief? Man, you must be good!

Tubaryan "broke 100 only once" 12

[Tubaryan12]

I'm no quitter!....but being bad at golf can work out sometimes.

Just call me "the 2008 Glidden Monday night golf league champion"

I shot a blistering 46 for 9 holes that day!...with a 13 stroke handicap. The scratch golfer I played in the finals never had a chance.

...

[/long-winded observation]

I printed that out. Hope you don't mind.

[Tubaryan12]

It's not the scoring that relieves stress...

It's that feeling of whacking a small white ball 240-250 yards off a tee into a beautiful sunrise against the backdrop of purple mountain majesties and fresh air.

Ken F. (only a 20 or so handicap)

I feel that way too, but generally, the trees stop the ball from going that far.

Tubaryan "30 something handicap" 12

Tubaryan "broke 100 only once" 12

I've broken 100 several times. I shot 105, 110, etc.

Seriously, it sounds like I might relieve some of my stress if we were to play a round of golf together. Now if we can only work out a mutually satisfactory location. what do you think?
Do you think we can find the properly hyphenated American golf club somewhere?

If you're near Cleveland and it's warm, you're on!

Just the bracketed parts you quoted, I hope. They are probably more useful than the textual drivel that makes up the body of my post!

If you had used tags (<>) instead of brackets ([]), I would have!

[TubaRay]

I think he meant Ohio, Ray...
Ken F.

And I thought he said "Cleveland."

[windshieldbug]

[Tubaryan12]

I'd imagine our Cleveland is a lot warmer...

Ken F.

...with a lot less snow.

I've broken 100 several times. I shot 105, 110, etc.

I shot a 83 once.

I shot an 83 once, too. But the 85 it was standing next to was REALLY pissed off.

[eupher61]

my best ball golf score is +12. Balls found vs lost.

now, Disc Golf, you're talking somethin'. breaking 70 is generally easy, of course 95% of the courses have par 54.
