All golfers and golfing spouses- Here are some 'golf terms' I'll be using in my next self-help golf book.

A 'Rock Hudson ' - a putt that looked straight, but wasn't

A 'Saddam Hussein' - from one bunker into another

A 'Yasser Arafat' - butt ugly and in the sand

A 'John Kennedy Jr.' - didn't quite make it over the water

A 'Rodney King' - over-clubbed

An 'O.J.'- got away with one

A Princess Grace' - should have used a driver

A 'Princess Di' - shouldn't have used the driver

A 'Condom' - safe, but didn't feel very good

A 'Brazilian' - shaved the hole

A 'Rush Limbaugh' - Way to the right but still in bounds

A 'Nancy Pelosi' - Way to the left and out of bounds

A 'James Joyce' - a putt that's impossible to read

A 'Ted Kennedy' - goes in the water and jumps out

A 'Pee Wee Herman' - too much wrist

A 'Sonny Bono' - straight into the trees

A 'Mickey Mantle' - a dead yank

A ' Paris Hilton' - a very expensive hole

I know all of you are looking forward to seeing it in your bookstores soon, so I will be working very hard to getting it there ASAP.

I haven't left the planet (yet)- I've just been without a computer for more than a week, due to remodeling things going on. I'm leaving for a short trip for a few days, so don't tell anything on me while I'm gone.
Carla- I sure thought I knew it all when I was in high school, which gives me more grace towards teens now.
Judy- I remember that pulling tabs (fruit loops) off guy's shirts was the thing to do, but I was too scared to. I didn't want anyone's mom calling Nadine. Early on, I wrote about throwing a muddy snowball at Eddy - his mom talked to me about that. She was very nice, but firm
(rightfully so). That did it for me - I never did throw muddy snowballs at anyone again (although when I'm under stress, it is still extremely tempting).
Steve - I remember Mary Hartman and also Laugh In. When people didn't have tv's in their dorm rooms - we went to the common lounge. Laugh In nights were always crowded. That program was such a statement of our times. To think that Goldie H. started her career there.

Paul Ray Wever I' never forget the time I went to the common room to watch tv and one of the guys on the floor (who was going to become a hippy) was watching tv and holding a burning incense stick. At that time I was so innocent it kind of weirded me out.

ISN'T IT FUNNY WHEN YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE IN THE U.S. THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE SAME SAYINGS YOU HAD WHERE YOU GREW UP? SUCH AS, WE ALL KNOW "LICKING YOUR CALF OVER AGAIN." HERE IN N.Y. THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO THESE YANKEES. ALSO, INSTEAD OF NEW YORKERS CALLING HAMBURGER MEAT HAMBURGER, THEY CALL IT "HAMBURG." ARE THEY JUST LAZY AND CAN'T FINISH THE WORD OR WHAT? I MAY BE LIVING IN N.Y. RIGHT NOW BUT I AM AN OKIE THROUGH AND THROUGH. OH YES, AND INSTEAD OF SAYING DRAWER LIKE A DRESSER DRAWER THEY CALL IT A DRAAAAAAAAW! ANY COMMENTS!

STEVE- I WOULDN'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T READ THE FUNNY PAPERS IN YEARS, IT'S FUNNY ENOUGH JUST LISTENING TO THE FOLKS TALK AROUND HERE.

Paul Ray Wever Remember Mrs. Turtlelotte. She had the story about her brother moving to Atlanta (or somewhere in the South) and he couldn't understand that when people said that were "tared" that they meant "tired".

Heck, I called Judy the other day, and she told me she was tarred. Come to think of it, so am I.....

Ya oughta hear what some of these folks call gums (in your mouth) and film. fill-em.

Heartsworth House???? Isn't that a rest home? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

06/08/09 12:45 PM	#711
Paul Ray Wever So it's a glorified rest home... a few of us would fit right in...;)
