Can someone help me create a downtown Denver pub golf course? So far I have:

1. The Ginn Mill
2. Giggling Grizzly
3. Lodo Bar and Grill
4. 1up Lodo
5. The Celtic on Market
6.
7.
8.
9.

Finns Manor, Whiskey Bar, Great Divide, Star Bar, Downtown Tavern, View House.....those are all kind of in the same area.

If you want to go classier I can give you that list - it would start with Union Lodge #1 (my #1 favorite cocktail bar in Denver), Peak Lounge, 54thirty...

I'm glad the character limit was extended for the custom title (?) that's below our username. Taking full advantage of that

I'm probably out of the loop on hip Denver bars, but some ideas... The Cruise Room, El Chapultepec, Green Russell, The Matchbox or if you're willing to go to LoHi... The Occidental... probably one of my favorite bars in Denver.

The Cruise Room looks pretty cool so I'll add that. Our place is down in Capitol Hill so not sure if we're going to venture north but if we do I'll check out Occidental.

Thanks

Already planning on hitting up Union Lodge #1 and 54thirty the first night we get there.

Thanks for the other recommendations I've never been to View House that's right next to the first few spots on the course so works out great.

Finns Manor is a great beer place - oh and I forgot to mention First Draft....Bierstadt Lagerhaus as well.....All three of those places have outstanding beer selections.

Thanks! I haven't seen the Other Sports thread in a while!

Joined the 300 club on bench press last night with a 305lb push. Took 9 years to accomplish lol.

Ehh, that's double my regular weights.

You guys are stronk. My record was 92,5kg (a little over 200lb) and that was almost ten years ago. I started with maxium of 50kg (110lb) and it skyrocketed to 92,5kg in just a couple of months.

Looking for four more places for a group of 8 guys ages 30+ to spend about 20-30 mins so probably nothing too fancy. Would also like to stay in the general vicinity of the places already listed.

The closest I've ever come to dying was a game of pub golf. Worst part was I totally got beat by the girl I was hanging out with. She could drink me under a table and still get us home. Anyway, I suggest mixing in some more variety since the places you list are fairly... divish. Terminal Bar would be a good stop.

I ain't seen my weights skyrocket.

I remember the first time I went to the gym. I put a 45 on each side of the bar. I was monitoring what other people were lifting and figured okay, I played sports my whole childhood, I beat people up in hockey fights every weekend, I'm 6'4. I'm definitely strong. I'll go with this weight to start out and then figure how much I can add from there. I pulled the weight down to my chest, pushed, and the weight went nowhere. A guy beside me had to come lift it off my chest

I think we're going to the nicer places another night when getting blacked out isn't the goal of the night. I'm coming from out of town so I don't want to be "that" group you see out.

It's for a bachelor party so I'm throwing in some fun dares to spice up the pub crawl. Like for 1up to get eagle you have to take two mystery shots and get the bartender's number in under 5 mins.

Are there people here who are familiar with literary analysis and stylistics, like literature students? I have a question.

I have a hard time understanding what foregrounding is in non-poetic literature. Is this a good example of foregrounding in prose?: In The Tell-Tale Heart, the phrase "much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton" comes up twice, word for word. Is this kind of callback what you would call foregrounding by repetition?

This ain't a homework thread.

 

[UncleRisto]

I'll trade my sammich for your English homework.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

A sammich ain't just a sandwich. A sammich is a damn gooood sandwich...

This sounds interesting, i tried looking it up and i think Chuck Palahniuk uses it in his writing by purposely mispelling words or reorders stuff to make it look incorrect , drawing attention to it to achieve some other goal and i guess that could be foregrounding?? idk

Yeah, that's the type you see in poetry a lot. I would think that the word for word repetition would count as something that draws attention to itself, even though they're a few pages apart, I'm just not sure about the whole thing, since the lecture was bad, and the examples are like alliteration and shit.

For some reason, Googling doesn't help much on this topic.

Well done.

Was that a specific goal for you?

I took a break from submitting resumes because it was getting damn depressing, started again last week and now I have 3 interviews lined up. Over the past few months I must've submitted 100+ resumes and only got about 5 interviews total, not sure what changed but not going to complain.

Lol, I have a similar story, but it was with 35s on each side (115 lb). I put it up maybe 3 times, and racked it before I had to call in help. A few years later, I topped out at 235. Then my elbows really started aching, so I typically regularly run my pyramid up to 205 and back down. Every month or so, I press 225 a few times just to make sure I can still do it.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I think I hyperextended my elbow.
Or sprained it.

Hey guys, I figured I'd check in here for some help.

A group of 15 of us are coming down from Canada for a buddies stag party. We're doing 4 games in 4 nights, Nuggets/Timberwolves, Rockies/Braves (home opener), Blues/Avalanche on Saturday and another Rockies/Braves game on Sunday (There from the 5th-9th of April)

The only real thing we have planned outside of the games is a Blue Moon Brewery tour. Anything else you guys recommend? Best bars?

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Send them to that nasty stripper/hooker bar classy joint we talk about...


EDIT: eh?
