Don’t worry. “LOL” And “keep on hating” — how ghetto of you. Very edgy. “LOL” College educated? Just curious.

I'm not sure why it matters, but I have a BS and a good bit of post graduate work. Was going to go for a Phd in pharmacy as my midlife crisis, but it didn't pencil out when 2008 hit about the time I finished the prerequisites, so I stayed in IT network design. However, if it makes you feel better, I was raised in the ghetto.

I retired last year and play pickleball several times a week. If you truly think it's a "gay a$$ yuppy game" (what were you saying about something sounding ghetto?), then you obviously do not have a clue as to what you're talking about and must form your opinion based on watching weight loss commercials featuring "pickleball" players who have never played. While there are older players who enjoy the game and play at a much slower pace, pickleball is lightning fast, full of strategy, and very competitive. Perhaps you should try it so that you'll know what you're talking about next time.

Wow! Your logic is all over the place.

Sorry, there, Sparky. Guess I touched a nerve after all that class envy came spewing out on your keyboard. What do I know? Just a rich kid from the big city, who still works for every dollar I spend. Learned the value of work and money from parents who lived during the Depression. Big Dave Ramsey fan too. So save it for someone who cares. Sorry. Just lucky I guess.

“A good bit” of post graduate work... Okay. That’s impressive. BA and Master’s in English, here. Retired after years working in publishing and finance. Currently working a retirement job helping kids with profound developmental delays. But hey, what do I know?

Also, sarcasm seems to be above your pay grade, and MAN — did I touch a nerve in you. Maybe consider a therapist if someone mocking your current sports crush sends you into such a frothing mess. You got the issues, as they say.

And as for trying the game — I’ll stick with distance cycling, swimming, and surfing.

But you keep playing with your pickle.
