(FOUR) GOLF
I understand the rules and I get the concept, but I don’t understand the appeal. If professional golf was done on crazy ass minigolf courses then I’d be way more curious. Otherwise, it’s just another rich over privileged guy hitting a little ball though a murdered forest while snobbing it up in the worst of ways. I’ve seen Caddy Shack. I don’t think ANYONE had fun in the movie. Maybe making it, but not IN it. Golf is what people with too much money do to let other people with too much money know they too have too much money.
(THREE) THE LACK OF MLB IN INDIANA
What the hell man? I’m more of a Cubs fan, but it’s just weird we’re not given a choice about supporting out local baseball team. We have a NBA team, a NFL team, we have a few bigger cities in the state, and we’re a really big sports state overall. I don’t get why we don’t have a professional baseball team in the Major League. To be fair, the same can be said for St. Louis in questioning why THEY don’t have a NBA team? These are big sport areas. It feels like some money isn’t being made.
(TWO) RUBBER BRACELETS
I remember the “Live Strong” ones being the first big ones out there. Now there are hundreds of different little rubber wrists bands attached to different causes, brands, and products. Does Lance Armstrong get a royalty on this? All of these copycat bands really ruined the impact of what he was doing with his charity. I miss buttons. Remember when we’d all wear buttons to show our support in something. Then stupid ribbons had to come in and ruin it. Let’s take it back from the rubber bracelets!
(ONE) RANDOM HANKYS
What is with dudes wearing random handkerchiefs hanging from their back pocket? I can get it if you’re having a runny nose or wanted to wipe sweat from your brow, but it’s come to my attention that in a lot of cases this is nothing more than another fashion statement. I saw a douche bag recently who looked like a cross between Howdy Doody and the Fonz. I don’t get why a red handkerchief hanging from your back pocket entered your mind as something that “looks cool”. How out of touch with one’s self does one have to be to care about their appearance THAT much? I can accept breast implants more than this. Gah!
