Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for April 14, 2021

Darts.

Bowling is all about the funny math to guess how many pitchers of beer to buy.

I always liked pool in cheap bars. The cue sticks and tables were crap so winning was almost always luck.

A Drunken Baseball League would be really great if they could have Bill Veeck and Yogi Berra as managers.

I wish Robert Putnam could join this conversation.

If I could conceivably practice enough to make money at it – then it is a game. Even when I was in phenomenal shape (back, back, back in the day) I was only close enough to being at the level of professional athlete to see it in the distance from where I was.

I was surprised when curling was added to the winter olympics. My previous exposure to it was through coworkers who played drunk in company leagues, so I had no idea that some people took it seriously.

That’s the only way I would agree to watch either basketball or baseball.

This is actually an awesome idea. I’d pay good money to watch drunken hockey.
