GYERO ARCHIVE

[B.B.d.K.]

Great post? It made zero sense.

I've read *Zero* pages of a book inside in the past decade, which is why I declared it reading season (for me)

Beach, boat, pool, porch.

A few beers/cocktails on the front porch with a book in the late evening is as relaxing as it gets. I knock out 2+ books a week in the summer.

Winter is for basketball & Gambol. I have zero ability to focus on a book if I'm in the house, too much else going on.

What do you like to do when relaxing on the Beach, Pool, etc Geese. Plant flowers?

quick question and back to lurking.

WTF is a collide?

Richie was trying to say "coldie" but the auto-correct on his phone changed it to "collide". It stuck.

if youve got a true big man with an automatic back-to-the-backet game, the LAST thing you want is him floating around the perimeter jacking up 3s.

is this not common sense??

Reading, like eating and drinking, is always better outside, imo. It doesn't get much better than reading on the front porch/deck on a summer evening with a glass of wine. If I try reading in the house, I'll either be asleep or distracted within minutes.

 

[RibsAndWhiteBread]

Book-it should do an adult reading incentive program. Maybe give away those personal pan pizzas along with a cocktail and some porn.

 

[PTI (pti)]

you should be sitting in a dark, smoky, nasty, neighborhood dive bar sucking down marly reds and pounding vodka drinks for 4 months. thats what summer is all about.

 

[CatManDoo]

BBdK - check out Ready Player One if you haven't already. PERFECT summer read.

That sounds pretty stupid, CMD. GTFO with that awful crap. Learn summer.

OH, HA.

I actually like to be in/active around the water. Laying on a lounge next to water relaxing with a book sounds absolutely miserable and I've always looked down upon people my age/circumstance that do, TS.

Beach and/or poolside reading is for gaffots who want to look cute and women over the age of 60 who are into Danielle Steel. You can read a GD book in bed before you shut 'er down for the night. I just pray it wouldn't interfere with that late night Mountain West GAMBOL parlay you're trying to hit!!

LOL, okay bub. Stick to the zoo.

 

[cawoodsct]

Reading at the beach has to be one of the best places to read a book, doesn't it?

 

[anthonys735]

-I read before bed so season doesn't really change that. Can't read after or during drinking if I want to retain anything.

-Yummy Pollo is legit.

-Bike season is under way, legs are feeling great, getting 100+ miles per week in.

"Reading/relaxing at the Beach/Pool Is MISERABLE"

IF YOU AREN'T PLAYING FRISBEE OR PRACTICING YOUR DIVING BOARD SKILLS YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH A LOSER!!

Really one of the worst takes in GYERO history. Bizarre.

Dude really is a mess these days.

 

[anthonys735]

I like reading on the beach and or pool. Pretty relaxing. After a bit I'll start drinking though and head to the water.

 

[drxman1]

Guess that's why Dr Mike's Vegas style pool parties were so awful per Gyero, just not enough reading going on.

Now I get it.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I don't drink, so I can't really comment on that. I mainly just like to sit and read in the summer.

Yes, we all do, then you come back and read some more. May even take a break to go for a walk but your book is still there when you return. You have a breeze, getting some sun, occasionally look up to take in a view, toes in the sand, usually sitting in a laid back great position to read. Just can't imagine it getting any better.

nice edit.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Prove it

 

[PTI (pti)]

im sure dr mikes pool partys were great, its YOU that was terrible.

per gyero, fb, snapchat, wccs common sense smell test, studies that show/have shown, me, twitter, instagram, etc.

 

[Beavis606]

Best activities for a warm summer afternoon:

--jigsaw puzzle
--go to library
--board games
--watch movie/catch up on dvr
--read a book
--video games

 

[CatManDoo]

"Hey Adrian, put that book down and come on in. You look like an idiot!!!"

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Bonzo Nation ftw

I leave my books home on those occasions out of respect for the tradition. That's good times as well. Same for Turbo K's drunken party boat.

My pool/beach versatility is on fleek.


--LOL at Devin Davis, btw. Nice, kid. #iubb

 

[Geese Feeder]

--jigsaw puzzle

Ever paired this shit with a good sauvignon blanc by your side?

Nothing better, IMO.

 

[PTI (pti)]

much like richie's ridiculousness yesterday (IF SOMEONE HELD A GUN TO YOUR HEAD AND IT WAS A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION AND YOU WERE FORCED BY LAW TO EITHER CHOOSE CARIO *OR* WEIGHT TRAINING), this isn't really an either/or situation.

of course, that's kinda why gyero is here -- to fabricate arguments that dont even really exist out of thin air.

both of these are great:

- pounding booze with hot broads, jumping off the diving board, playing pro kadima paddle ball, kayaking, SUPing, playing flip cup, twerking on the sun deck of a wakeboard boat, comparing tribal band tats, etc.
AND
- relaxing poolside, sipping a cocktail, and reading

 

[_Chase_]

Stick to the zoo.

Not sure he can recover from that one. Just absolutely brutal. Way, way over the line, IMO.

I'm too mature for Marco Polo and other water games. Books it is for me. Come talk to me when you get married and start a family, Peter Pan.

 

[Beavis606]

Don't turn this into a pool activity debate. The original posts specifically said reading on the front porch.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I bring the pain, Chase. It's what I do.


Sharks & Minnows (we called it Green River) ftw tho


If we're only talking evenings on the Front Porch, then I prefer to jump rope or yo-yo. Pogo Ball is fun too, but some little hooligan stolt it.

 

[_Chase_]

Sit on porch, drink beer, grill, read, profit.

Definitely prefer this to reading at the pool.

I like to read James Joyce on the beach with a few Hadron Colliders, and then - when a hot chick strolls by - I watch her walk all the way down the beach. But she doesn't know I'm doing it because my shades are on the whole time (pro move). Then, when she's out of eyesight, I pull down my shades, look directly into the camera, and wink while the voice-over guy whistles in the background.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Also, Day-bow-bow is playing in the background while the chick walks by. Forgot that part.

 

[assistbyhawkins]

I was considering going up to my club tonight at 4:30 and playing 18 with some guys since its my one night a week without my daughter, then getting a nice dinner, then heading out to sit somewhere outside and have a few cocktails.

Then I checked the weather forecast and it said 75 and sunny. F#$K golf, lets read!!

 

[CoolCat45]

This Amtrak crash is pretty horrible, but because of the line it was (DC to NYC) and who rides the damned thing (media & politicians) it will get more coverage than aliens landing on the White House lawn.

 

[PTI (pti)]

a bunch of dad-bodied 30/40-something married dudes with boring office jobs, suburban homes, and snot-nosed little kids acting like they're "too cool" to sit on the front porch and read a book.

ha.

FALSE.

for many of you, that may be the highlight of, and the craziest part of, your otherwise boring-ass week. tmfs.

Right after you, bubbers.

This on the beach:

In between chapters, obviously.

 

[drxman1]

I really hope Chad wears that on the brew tour this weekend. But please leave the book at home.
