It is simply because the Progressive Alliance is the future party.

Up here in WI they just call it "bags", but it's pretty much the pastime when tailgating, hanging out in the backyard, etc. I'm alright, but I think I picked up table shuffleboard easier.

One, I know exactly which hockey tweet you're referring to, lol, and two, hurling is a hell of a lot of fun to play. I was actually a member of northeastern Wisconsin's club for a season or two when I first moved here. Honestly probably the best shape I've ever been in, the running is good mandatory conditioning. Maybe I should get back into it...right after I get back into broomball, lol

The conversation in Discord got me thinking. Some mentioned an interest in homebrewing and I am wondering if there has ever been consideration of creating a recipe for a "national beer?" It would certainly be an interesting cultural project where people could on their own reproduce it perhaps to celebrate important national holidays.

With the caveat that not all Talossans are drinkers it might be an interesting venture.

I've played both Gaelic football and camogie, the women's version of hurling. Not very good at the latter, too much running

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on Yesterday at 11:19:07 AMMajor League Cricket has started in the US. They only have a few teams, and the first season started in 2024. I guess I'll be rooting for the Texas Super Kings since I'm from Texas.

That's awesome! Guess I picked a good team to root for!

I've somehow ended up opening batter for my club's 3rd women's team. I'm surprised by that because I always saw myself as a leg-spin bowler, but good coaching has helped me to identify my actual talent

I'm still trying to figure out cricket. Previously, I only knew about it from watching Monty Python, where they called it "ritual idioting".
I found a few cricket magazines people had left behind when I worked at the airport. It piqued my interest. Watched some matches on YouTube. I still don't understand all the rules, but I like it.
The convenience store down the street from me is owned by people from India. Last year (oddly enough, it was the Fourth of July), I went there to get some beer. Behind the store I saw the owner and his family sitting in lawn chairs, watching some little kids playing a game. I took a closer look...they were playing cricket! For some reason I thought that was cool.  The next time I went to the store, I talked to the owner about cricket. He's the one that told me that Major League Cricket has started in the US. They only have a few teams, and the first season started in 2024. I guess I'll be rooting for the Texas Super Kings since I'm from Texas.

For my part, having recently been introduce to the tabletop version of shuffleboard, it's quite fun IMO, more so than bags/cornhole/etc.

I haven't played shuffleboard in decades. My parents had a shuffleboard table at the bar they owned in Texas, and I got quite good at it when I was a kid.
