Balls Magazine Volume 14

As I think I may have mentioned in the past, I'm on a thing at work where I HAVE TO take vacation days each month due to a vacation cap. If I don't use them, I stop accumulating vacation time and I don't trust stupid HR people to remember to

Saturday Night Open Thread: My Top Five…. Obscure Archer Objects

ballsofsteelandfury - April 15, 2023April 14, 2023

I still watch Archer and I still enjoy the new episodes. Some (okay, many!) have said that the series has jumped the shark. Opinions differ on when exactly that happened. Some argue that it happened when they left New York. Some argue that it happened when Archer went into a

Balls Magazine Volume 13

ballsofsteelandfury - April 12, 2023April 8, 2023

As you may or may not have noticed, there was no Balls Magazine last week. The reason for that is that I haven't had the time to get out onto the course or the driving range. That all changes today as my local golf club just had its third tourney of

Enablers: A Study – Offseason Sunday Open Thread

Don T - April 2, 2023April 2, 2023

There are millions of ads, anecdotes, gossip, poems, psalms, stories and memes about true friends being those who stand by you and look out for your best interests, always, without fail. Well spare me the personal growth and judgin' crap because this is a look at enablers. Enablers never sermonize and are

I make no apology for loving the Olympic Games. Yes, they can and have been used for propaganda and political purposes, but, at its core, the idea of all the countries of the world getting together to play games is awesome. I'm also a huge Greek mythology geek, so the fact

As you may or may not know, the West Coast has been hit with a lot of rain this winter. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for it and I want more to tell you the truth. We desperately need it. The only thing is that it interferes with playing golf.

I apologize for missing last week's Saturday Night post. It completely slipped my mind that I had volunteered to do the Saturday evening posts. I was even going to go into the back room and ask who was supposed to post. Turned out it was me. Tonight's post category comes from my

Remember how I won my very first golf tournament and broke 100 on the same day? Well, I just finished my second tournament and let's just say there was no repeat. Not only that, I scored the worst I have scored in a VERY long time: 122! Let's start at the beginning. It

There is light amid the darkness. Not only did mister Lily and I (mostly him) actually win a game last week but we are now on week 24 or 25 of 27. I think it’s 24 but it’s hard to tell from the weekly results sheet. Usually when our married teammates

Your friendly Puerto Rican good life enthusiast is not able to take care of tonight's Open Thread as he has some pressing business to attend to. (read: hot date with spicy Latina). By the way, the term Spicy Latina is redundant. Tonight, we have what is affectionately called around LA as

Tonight's post category was inspired by Richard Blade playing one particular song on First Wave on Sirius XM satellite radio. That song brought back memories of its amazing music video and that got me to thinking of the best music videos I've ever seen. As I mentioned in the first

Saturday Night Open Thread: My Top Five…. Non-Major Sporting Events

ballsofsteelandfury - March 4, 2023February 28, 2023

Tonight's post category was suggested by RTD's comment last week requesting, "your 5 best non-major U.S. sports (i.e. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) memories." Thank you to all that provided suggestions and I will be incorporating those into future posts. As I mentioned in the first post, the plan is for this
