Less than a month until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, starting 6 weeks of pretend baseball, followed by 162 games of filler before the playoffs. Then again paint drying can look positively stimulating.

Baseball was once described as paint drying with hotdogs ;-) LOL

But I enjoy watching it after the winter doldrums!

Lord knows---how did I forget about Golf? I think I'd rather listen to the sharks swimming around the cleaning station.

By the way, before injuries forced me to retire, I held both regional and state championships in watching paint dry and watching grass grow. I hold a Doctorate in both subjects that I earned from Auburn through the Internet.

I'm a baseball guy. I can't wait for the season to start! I will admit it can be pretty boring for the casual fan. I was an NFL fan for years but it is getting close to flag football. I have switched my football watching to college and find it more enjoyable....except the last game of the year.

Ya know Mr. Hay......You go to he!! for lying, you were never injured. At least physically. If your not careful, I'm going to tell you a story about a muskie I caught last year.

I used to play a lot of golf. It was a good excuse to gamble and a good prelude to the drinking and card games as long as you didn't take the part about that little white ball too seriously.

Haywire - How about varmint hunting? Or small-game? That's good exercise! And sometimes in small ponds, bass fishing can be great with just a week of 70 degree weather! There's always hogs out there that need shooting!

I'm telling you gentlemen learn to play poker There is always a game rain or shine hot or cold 24 hrs a day There are games at the Pensacola Dog Track 45 minutes away every day as well small tournaments and there is always Biloxi I took an early retirement in 2000 just to move to Biloxi and play poker and fish I played 8-12 hrs a day 7 days a week except when I was fishing Never had to worry about something to do

Don't know how durable they would be but Yall gotta check this out:

A Hand-Made Shrimp from a Plastic Straw
