    A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

    Other info

    My philosophy of Course Ratings: Sorry, I don't have an objective course review strategy. I play 'em and wing it.

    My background is in parks and recreation, so I tend to have a better handle on public courses and how they fit into an overall park design. I'm nit-picky on conflicts with other park uses and play-ability (flow) as opposed to someone who is just evaluating the shots.

    I'm not a very good golfer so things like the challenge level of a top-tier course isn't really my strong suit. I can look at things like variety of shot types, variety of distances, etc., but I'm not really sure for example if a hole is a par 4 or a par 5. Like I said, I just take my perception and wing it.

    As a result, I really don't review courses I consider to be a "3" or over after I play them once. Better courses I like to play 3-4 times in a variety of weather to get a better feel for the design.

    I have noticed your expertise on several fourums and was hoping to get your opinion on a posting on "whats this disc worth." Thanks for your time.

    I have never heard any Tito Puente. :\

    But :thmbup: to Bitches Brew. I'm definitely a huge BB fan, prefer it immensely over In a Silent Way. Also a fan of Getz and Montgomery, but I only own a few works from each.

    Thanks for the linky-link.

    Also, on an unrelated note, I just found out yesterday that Def Leppard are British! :eek: I guess hearing them on the radio, and their immense popularity always had me thinking of them as being as American as apple pie. :\

    Also, I think your profile page theme/colors just gave me a seizure. :D

    Hey man, thank you for the heads up on the good Captain...I was unawares. :( Very sad day for me.

    On a positive note, over the weekend I picked up Pyromania by Def Lepperd. There were actually two or three songs on there that I always used to hear on the radio and didn't realize it was DL. Pretty okay stuffs, totally awesome if just from a nostalgia standpoint.

    ^Cute kid by the way.

    Yeah, Highland is a different beast with leaves. I was actually a little disappointed in it the second time through, and would probably revise my 4-disc rating to a 3.5 or maybe even a 3, but I'd like to play it again in the spring/summer before making my decision.

    Totally glad we got the chance to meet up while you were in town! :thmbup: Thanks again for the BB!
    Jukeshoe
    What? You gave my "local" courses less than a 5-disc rating?!?!?!

    OMG :mad: :thmbdown: :thmbdown: :thmbdown:



    ;) Nice reviews, sir!

    just read your post in that thread about the Ching Bomb... you knowledge of discs is insane and I salute you sir.

    Guru Scott,
    Now that I know there are other options what would you recommend for a mid? I liked the feel of the comet that I threw last week. I want something that is dead on straight but that I can hyzer/anhyzer if needed.
    Hope you are having a good Thanksgiving in the north lands!

    Thanks for the info. Scott- I think I threw too many heavy discs today and way too many forehands- the visitor had good info and was a big help but I need to stick with my lighter drivers for now!
    Not again
    Thanks Scott- I have been throwing a stingray a lot at LC and it works good for me on the drives (low and straight) but I love the Roc for approaches. I have a 150 class DX Rancho- are they really that much better in the heavier weights and are the different types really that much different? I read a lot of forums on here and people are very sentimental about the different types and the heavy weights...
    Not again
    So I guess I need to find another Roc- or learn how to throw the Buzz I have... off of that subject, what's your opinion of the Polecat and the Gazelle? Are they anything I would want to mess with?
    Not again
    Hey Scott- I have a rules question and you seem to be in the know (or at least know where to look)- is paint pen legal on a disc? A buddy of mine did a painting on my Roc and then clear coated it and it is sweeet! I just want to make sure it is legal.

    I could part with my blue star RR, but its beat in, and I am thinking of using it for a roller. There were two guys down from Chicago for Ozark that stopped by LC and sold discs, I got a nice *RR with an '10 Mayhem Open stamp on it, it's Max weight though, I also got a sweet Max weight Pred I-Dye to replace the one lost at #14.

    In other news, are you going to be able to make league on Saturday? Can you post it on DGScene? I would like to have some administrative capabilities for that as well to post some events as they come up. Just askin'.

    I just picked upa a max weight Star RR from some dudes at LC yesterday. I also bought a max weght avenger, and I don't think you'd want that. I will keep looking for a lighter Avenger for you. You want X not ESP or Z?
