  1. ganjagolfer thinks he's funny, but isn't
  2. I naturally lean towards losing my temper, but I've tamed it... I think about what my anger will accomplish. I've found it makes me anxious and tense, makes me screw up more, which leads towards me doing even worse. (If people are the source of anger, the "stick it to them" doesn't work, because when it's me someone's angry at, I totally write them off as dumb/ignorant/raving loon/etc.) So, to be totally selfish, I let anger go, for my sake and no one else's. At first it feels a bit unsatisfying (With the people, yeah, it doesn't teach them a lesson, but the world will catch up to them and do that.) Ultimately I've found there's no better solution and for my own sake and performance, I need to let these things go.
  3. Aw, gees! You're forever my boy, Mr. Bardem.
  4. Thank you, that's very sweet. Awesome!
  5. I live in Texas. No chance the state is going any color but red. So why vote? Cause I want them to count my vote...I want to go down on record as being another person for or against the choice that is made. It will matter when decisions are made concerning war and peace. If the machines fail and they count by hand, I want my vote to be another in the pile. If it goes to the Supreme Court or the Electoral College comes under fire, I want to be another digit they have to consider. And every time it's recorded in the media or the history books that XXX,XXX,XX1 people voted, I plan to be one of those numbers. I'll be counted into the female category, the under 25 category, the employed category, the college graduate category, and on and on, and that number will mean something when legislative decisions are being made. Ferguson's right, it is our duty to vote. And what does it take anyway, a whole 10 freaking minutes out of your day? It takes me that long to wait for my order at the drive through, and three times longer to absorb a Simpsons episode for the 8th time. So that's what I think. Unfurl American flag, hum "Battle Hymn of the Republic," do as you will, I'll be in the booth.
  6. I think you're viewing this entirely in the wrong light...THAT is impressive! LOL, I remember posting about hitting the same spot on the same tree FIVE times in a row...when you get done being frustrated, you see the humor in it.
  7. Most of the people in here aren't actors (...actually, are any of them?) I took the thread to just be a comment on how many famous, symbolic, talking-head, lifelong Republicans are changing their positions in this election. A cup of tea with Norm Coleman, anyone?
  8. Oh wah. I distinctly recall putting in the subject line that it was about racism. If you don't like it, just don't read it. I happen to think there are smart people on here whose opinions I enjoy and respect so I asked a question. Period, end sentence. Now excuse me, I have to go marry my pig.
  9. Very interesting, thanks for that - I hadn't seen it yet.
  10. Right, the original question. Not Noriega's answer, that was fine. I'm a little lost...can you spell out these words for me? What's the G word?
  11. The prob with dress codes is, if you give someone an inch, they take a mile. You neat T-shirt and jeans is someone else's "Will Work for Beer" shirt with the cut-off sleeves and their jeans with that hole worn through ever so close to the line of where the sun shall never shine. I remember in high school, we had a rule with skirts and shorts - you hung your arms loose, and if you couldn't touch the hem(s) with your fingertips, it was too short. This did not bode well for someone like me who has long limbs with near ape-like proportions...I dangle my arms and they fall only about 3" above the knee. That does not constitute short-shorts or a mini-skirt. Nonetheless...the solution? Quityerb*tchin and find something longer. So it goes. PS: That being said, I feel this is a good rule for your loincloth plan. PPS: I'll be saying my prayers tonight I get proposed to by a guy wearing a shirt.
  12. Here in Texas, that rule is flexible. *Shudder!*
  13. Of course not, you can't police propriety. But people can't show up to these uppity courses dressed like that and not expect a couple looks.
  14. 1. People are rude and self centered, and always will be. 2. Maybe so, but golf is also just an awesome game, so there will always be those that enjoy to play. For how long it's lasted and how far from the island it's grown, I'm sure it'll be around for a long time to come. 3. I'm imagining there have been this debate since the dawn of golf. "Your ball hit my sheep!" "Your sheep was in my line!" "The clan indicated by the design of your tartan on your kilt is inferior to mine!" "At least I be man enough to wear a kilt!" Etc.
  15. Latitude. And you've taken quite enough, Oz boy.
  16. *Best high pitched whine* Can't you link it? Now I gotta go looking.
  17. Dork, you're on my myspace, remember?
  18. I know, I have a set of them in assorted colors. He knows that full well. (Beaters/ribbed tanks, not cuffs. Anything else, I am not obliged to indulge.) BAH! Back to subject! So...golf snobs, eh?
  19. As they should! (Hate to say the obvious, but "Oz" means Australia, right? Correct me if I'm wrong...just go on and ignore me if I'm right.) I agree with Harry, you're doing well. Would you like us to help you out at all? Dork.
  20. Harry - I was looking for that pic but couldn't find one on photobucket... The one I found was from a dude's bachelor party (gag). Grogger...God help me but I laughed out loud!
  21. Nah, I'm not going to bite. I've personally never heard someone come to a course inappropriately dressed and say, "I had no idea!" You don't go to a wedding in booty shorts, church in a miniskirt, a funeral in a wife beater, and that's just the way some things are. I would never call someone out to their face or treat them any differently, but there is just a certain protocol for how to dress at the course.
  22. What's the difference between a Lehman Bro Executive and a pigeon? A pigeon can still make a deposit on a Ferrari
  23. Oh, and ... I know bowling and tennis snobs! Heck yeah! They won't even consider playing with (or sharing a lane or court) an amateur or non-athlete. Where do you play?! I'd LOVE to go where there's no men on the course, with their snide little comments!
  24. Flaming is not tolerated here. Agreed. But skiiers have separate hills. You can break your neck if you go down one bigger than you, so it's generally not recommended. Golfers, however, often think if they wear a cute matching outfit and embroider their bag with a monogram, they can play Augusta. There is no reason to play a course bigger than you. (I guess that's the little golf snob in me.) I'm confused. These two sentences seem to contradict each other. That being said, I don't give a sh*t what's in my bag or anyone else's...that's a guy thing. Harry, my dear, did you just quote yourself and then respond to it?
  25. Channing got it, but I think she wasn't the best in the film. Aw, Harry, have some fun with me, I'm messing with you. I know it's Monday.
