It's more of a legend I suppose, but considering just how hard disc golf would be to play in the dark (which I am well aware of) it's not something that's tested. The game becomes impossible well before sundown. And none of us want the cops to treat the course as a place of interest anyway, so we're cautious with that ****.

Do they not make glow in the dark/light-up disc golf frisbee thingies? (note: I have very limited knowledge about disc golf) Also, headlamps are useful for these situations. Even if they do look extremely dorky.

They do, but it's a novelty. We're often throwing discs into swamps basically. Even in full daylight you'll sometimes be throwing over gulches that a bad throw will mean walking on logs over knee deep mud to retrieve a ten dollar piece of plastic. And you're grateful for those logs. But emotionally invested in that plastic.

Ohh I see.

I suddenly feel like playing drunk disc golf.

That's the only way to play disc golf. 90% of your throws will not be over stupid ****, and a good percentage of those that are will be fun. But sometimes you'll just get butt****ed and have to throw over bull**** while standing on two logs while trying not to faceplant into a giant pile of mud where you've previously seen venomous snakes. It can get pretty intense in a way that football really can't.

Mud piles + snakes sounds like a grand old time. Football definitely could use more snakes.

I have never seen somebody go this hard to find a disc, but I have seen similar scenes. I have seen dudes almost lose shoes in mud. I have seen dudes walk on fallen tree trunks to make it out over marsh hellholes. Disc golf is not for the faint of heart, assuming you give a **** about your discs, and you will lose major respect if you don't. Nobody will say a thing about you if you don't do what that dude did, but that dude is a ****ing hero.

Today was eventful:

-One lady came in, told us she was in a hurry. Both associates were busy. She stormed out of the building. I just said "see ya" as she left. Don't be rude, people.

-A friend I knew from middle school walked in, and we shortly talked while I was sending his fax. I find it super awkward to start a conversation with someone you barely know anymore but you knew them really well back in school. It was just so rushed and I was awkward. Oh well.

-I put bacon on my sandwich today but when I got to work, I bit into my sandwich and the bacon fell out.

-On top of it all, I was stoned before work because **** mondays (i know it's tuesday).

Or you could just play in an area that isn't a swamp.
