Looks like too many rules and one never gets to check the other players like in HOCKEY!

Soccer mom schit and older women trying to trap their next victim. Go give it a whirl. I'll bet in 10 minutes those "soccer moms and old women" will have you crying for your daddy. Still stalking me because I called you out for being a full of schit blow hard, you little chkunt? You couldn't follow me around all day. I'd throw you around the gym like a raggedy ann doll.

What, no fu*ken helmets, Pauly needs to step in and show them how a real man does it.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

HOCKEY! True, but you can lay down some pretty epic welts if you have fast hands and good coordination.

When I take the grandkids to the playground I have to walk by pickleball courts....slow old people playing a noisy game.

Tennis to pickle ball = same degeneration as handball to racquetball.

Oops? Yes, it's legal and results in winning the rally. Most people frown upon smashing your opponent above the waist intentionally, but accidents and "accidents" are part of the game. There is also a strategy of trying to hit the non-receiving opponent during a serve if that person isn't paying attention. Totally legit and wins the point. The rules can appear to be a bit overwhelming, but it's pretty easy to catch on if you get out there and play with people who know the game.

Got drug into “keeping score” for a pickle ball fundraiser this summer. Like low-speed tennis. Rule heavy.
Real worthy cause the fundraiser, great people organizing it, and playing about trying to learn it was fun.
But, hell, what a magnet for seasoned citizen snobbery and douchebaggery! It was movie material.
Golldammed motion detector lights. A guy can’t even piss off his porch in peace any more.

Walking the dog this morning I passed a doubles game. This one athletic gal sees a watermelon return and overhand smashes that little ball for some sizzling chin music at the only man in the foursome who says "WHOA!".
I laughed. They all laughed. They were having fun.
