    Maybe everyone needs a trifold? Ask Costanza.

    He's not wrong. All specials are overrated, leftover stuff that the restaurant needs to get rid of.

    golf is overrated. ok but hardly deserving of the hype it gets.

    golf takes a fair amount of practice /repetition to play decently.

    mulligans generally frowned upon, range isnt the same.

    golf is just not really that fun. even when play well... more annoying than fun. levels of annoying

    expensive and overpriced

    golf culture / golf etiquette is corny and try hard. golf is old fashioned .. outdated.

    not a 4 hour game

    Not overrated, but I ****ing suck at it. I see the little happy ball, and I've got the big stick, and I want to mash the hell out of it, and it just befuddles me. My brain wants to swing like a baseball bat, and can't get over that mental hurdle.

    1 out of every 7 or so shots is brilliant, the others are totally worthless (except for chipping and putting, I got the short game down). I've broken the heads off of 2 drivers, they went farther than the ball.

    Not from me! I tried it once many years back just because of the hype. Those things are nasty and I can’t even understand why people eat them. McDonalds is nasty in general though.

    "Remastered" albums - you turn up the mids on the 3rd crash cymbal and call it "remastered"
    Cage-free eggs - tastes the same as regular eggs to me
    Organic food - tastes the same as regular food to me
    Bottled water - it's tap water....in a bottle....that costs money....

    All 4 of these are just clever marketing ploys, IMO.

    Because were all conditioned monkeys- McRib sign goes up, we drive by and see it, we turn around and get one. It befuddles me that I order it sometimes as well. Never again though.

    Interesting fact- Every McDonalds has that damn fake meat McRib patty in the freezer at all times of the year and just put it out cause corporate decided it was "that time of the year" again.

    Golf is terrific if you find a decent course that isn't over $50. Fill the cooler with Beer, liquor, and meth, and go to town.

    On the other hand, I do not miss high school/summer HGA tournaments when I was carrying my bag and walking 18 holes in 100 degree heat and 95% humidity...

    my friends did coke all night and decided they were going to play golf after being up all night.
    so they go to the course and buy all these tees and balls...gear ... stupid coke purchases.

    then they go to first hole and are trying to do coke but its a combo of windy and wet. not the best coke snorting conditions. they each do more and more bumps then finally hit their tee shot.
    of course the hole takes forever and all coked out immediately lets let the next group play through.
    on to hole 2 and another period of bumps and analyzation of each shot that would make newton proud.
    by time got to hole 3 there was still tons of coke but the life had left the party..
    they decided it was boring and now all the sudden didnt want to be there.
    they went back to clubhouse all jacked up and asked for a raincheck said they were doctors had been called to emergency.

    old man at golf shop wasnt having it and of course in the coke haze the receipt had gone missing.no refund or raincheck pal...do another bump and charge it to the game
