at the bar 2023

Okay sorry, I’ve finally figured out how to do images after a decade of messing it up. Three cheers for me.

Bocce to bowls is like softball to baseball. Mostly the same, with one being a bit more difficult and holding a bit more prestige

this is anti-italian sentiment

Tell me I’m wrong

i’ve mostly played bocce on an incredibly uneven grass field at a family gathering years ago. not a lack of challenge, there

Point taken!

I’ve gotta say, this is a lot of fun to watch. “Great shot mate, yep, yep, you’ll get through that, yep just a bit more to the right, that’s it mate, good effort, push it, good effort mate, yep nice one Jimmy, fuckin dreadful mate (from the bowler), that’s alright mate next one mate, *clap clap*, well done Clark, you really just gotta bowl them over, *clap clap*.

I’m having more fun watching this than seeing my dodgers take the Red Sox today! Couple cheep beers and this $1 membership is paying off big time! Let’s go mate *clap clap*

“Yeaaah mate you just ummmm……. That much overdraw *holds hands out to signify distance to change for next time*

Thank you for tuning into the live commentary of the Caloundra bowls club. All quotes were taken in real time. The *clap clap* seems to be an essential part of lawn club culture., it’s heard multiple times every 10 seconds. Really adds to the aural atmosphere

This is what positive masculinity looks like

What

fancy a beer m8

There is a bowls club in my town and they've recently discovered social media, so there are lots of posts in my local FB group about trying a cool new sport!!

One of my worst memories ever was laughing at a bowls club poster when in middle school, and then turning around to see the bloke from the club who had put them up and been trying to promote it to the school, stand there dejected. Maybe I’m just making up for my sins with this new fad

bowls national championships finish here today!

Waiting to order another corona at the bar when these two women sitting down decide to try to determine which of them is taller. I glance over and they burst out laughing

Did
You
Purposefully
Order a Corona
To drink

It’s my go-to

Among the mosquitos

Bartender so determined to clean the bar that she knocks my beer over

Out of cash, have to switch to card dammit

Jose from the pizzeria next door delivers a couple of free slices and makes the bartender smile

seriously, if you have 'one sip' left in your pint and you're on your own at a table. Don't disappear somewhere and not expect your drink to be dispelled to the washing machine.

What Lucinda song is that from

4 days off makes me feelin’ nice n’ crisp after 2 6 percenters

Got a buyback and didn’t have enough cash to tip and felt fine about it

had one of the weirdest nights i’ve ever had st the bar, but the tips were good, surprisingly. rich social justice boomer types aren’t all bad i guess!

Vestigial tape on the floor from Covid times

I dreamed I was at the bar sitting at a table by myself. The place was suddenly getting crowded, and this woman came over with two drinks, put them on the table, then stood behind me. I ignored her. Then I felt something on the top of my head, and a half-eaten peach rolled off and fell onto the table. “What the hell?” I said, and got up. She smiled and laughed quietly. I walked away and two of her friends appeared and joined her at the table.

“This one’s on me. Long time no see”

$4 High Lives in MKE? gimme a fuckin break

6 with precision then home

Napoleon Dynamite back behind the bar and I couldn’t be more happy to see her

*happier

Went in the back to smoke and came bank into the bar and the whole place smells like my shirty weed

can't stop drinking Rattler cider, every bar should sell it.

genius with a Bluetooth speaker playing “oh Shiela”

I can’t believe there was a time in my life when I wanted pot (sorry that’s what I call it) to be legal. That nauseating smell and dog shit are the banes of my existence.

Dogs shitting in a bar is a bridge too far tbh
