Reply to comment by Valorike in TIL that the dogs in competitive agility don’t rehearse the course ahead of time. The courses are randomized at each competition, and the trainers (without their dogs) only see the layout beforehand on the same day. When the dog runs the course they are literally seeing it for the first time. by Pyraunus

You ever seen ski racers inspecting a course? It's exactly the same, but on skis for added hilarity.

Rock climbers inspect routes before a competition too, but only from the ground. They mime out climbing with occasional binocular inspections. It's like a group dance.

Yeah, I climb, mostly indoors and mostly bouldering, and even then I'll be standing on the ground miming moves

You ever see my dad scoping out a buffet? He's carefully planning where things are, how he can move through quickly and avoid traps of bread and fried foods.

Nah man, it’s about shrimp, clams, the high dollar items. Breaded crap that isn’t a clam or a shrimp is for fools.

I do the same if there is shrimp, cuttlefish, crayfish, squid, crab (claws anyhow), etc.

It isn't the money though, I'm a bottomless pit on those at any price. (and chicken). You guys I are lucky I don't live by salt water.

The slimy stuff that hides inside shell homes needs to be a chowdah though.

You ever watch swim instructors miming swimming motions to their students from outside of the pool?
