Most epic quote in the piece:
Quote:
“But wait,” the PicklePushers wail. “It’s America’s fastest-growing sport!”

So what? The Diphyllobothrium is a fast-growing tapeworm. Doesn’t mean I want it.

So do I! I have to giggle at players in a softball dugout and for 7 innings all they talk about is pickleball.

Yes, confusing. I joined TOTV 18 yrs ago as Madelaineamee. TOTV lost my account and now I am back as a newbie, but I'm really an oldie. There was a great group of people posting then, we are dropping off quickly

Ahhh... Now that makes sense... But that is the "circle of life" and internet forums...

2009 and I joined 2008. That is when people went to Crispers on a Friday evening. People actually got to know each other. It was also when there was a Political site and huge arguments used to happen over there. Times are very different now, but for the most part still a great site.

Very funny article....especially "Remember, kids: Every time you see a new pickleball court open, an orthopedist gets a new boat.".....

Just remember the three "Ps" in The Villages....Never buy a house near the POOP station, not under POWER LINES, and definitely not next to a PICKLEBALL COURT....
