Stranger Things takes place in the 80s and I understand there’s a lot of shit going down in Hawkins but I find it unrealistic that not a single person has talked about Larry Bird. I’m not even asking for an extensive discussion, just someone to say “damn, Bird put up 42 on the Knicks last night”.
Stranger Things 5 is the #1 SHOW IN THE WORLD
With 59.6 million views, it also boasts the biggest premiere week ever for an English language show in the history of Netflix.
10. Amen Corner: How Much of It Is Luck?
The 11th, 12th, and 13th holes are either the purest test of tournament golf ever designed or a wind-dependent circus that ends careers at random. The answer is both.
The 12th hole, specifically — about 155 yards, over Rae's Creek, with bad wind — has ended more Masters runs than bad putting and bad tempers combined. Anyone who says they know what club to hit there is guessing, including the people who've played it fifty times, and that's the beauty of it.
The Southern Gentleman's Guide to Masters Week: A thread 🧵
Augusta’s calling. We’ll help you show up right.
Masters Week is the Southern gentleman's premier sporting event and Met Gala rolled into one perfectly manicured, azalea-lined week in April.
Whether you're making the pilgrimage to Augusta National, hosting a watch party with a bourbon selection that requires a laminated menu, or just trying to look like you belong somewhere near a fairway, this is the guide for you.
8. The Drink Situation
Bourbon is the obvious answer, and it is correct. But Masters Week specifically calls for the Arnold Palmer, and not the spiked version, just the original, half sweet tea and half lemonade, drunk from a glass with too much ice because that's how you do it in April in the South when it's 74 degrees and sunny.
If you want to spike it, spike it with bourbon. If you want to be difficult, vodka is also permitted (The John Daly). Do not put tequila in an Arnold Palmer during Masters Week. There are limits.
What to talk about at the 19th hole:
9. The Tiger Debate Is Still Going and It Will Never End
Every single year, someone brings up Tiger in his prime versus the field today, and every single year, this conversation goes nowhere and takes 45 minutes to do it. Participate anyway.
The correct position, held by reasonable people, is that peak Tiger at Augusta was something that does not have a proper analogue in the sport and possibly in sports generally. The incorrect position is that this is debatable. There may or may not be some conversation about DUI’s as well.
