I played Miniature Golf last night for the first time this century with my new glasses. I hesitate to call it Putt-Putt, because I used to be pretty good at it. You know, that dark green carpet with the orange bumpers, nary a clown hole in sight, "Live it up! Play Putt-Putt." Gotta know all the angles to play well.

So, I had an opportunity to join the men in my family and my niece on an excursion to Mr. Divot. They had stationary obstacles, moving obstacles, even one with a Humpty Dumpty obstacle. Ugh! And with my new glasses, I couldn't read the greens properly.

I shot an awful 9 over par and my Dad beat by one. The only holes-in-one were tallied by my niece (who strangely enough shouted out scores of two and three on every hole, where I swear I saw more shots taken) and my Dad. My Dad's actually coming on a hole that involved bowling pins as an obstacle. Go figure. Anyhow, the course was not really a fair test. They had one hole involving a rocket. Actually, you needed to be a rocket scientist to hit up to this ramp to a platform that would empty your ball on the green. What a joke! That hole was responsible for most of my par overage. I may, no, I must take it up with the Commissioner.

I need my orange bumpers! This one is in Willoughby. I am so there.

This is NFSW. A young lady (but it's the Internet, could be a guy) talks about porn and observes things critically. You don't see the phrase "genitalia spitting" very often.

The most influential indie albums of the '80s and '90s. Really good stuff here, I liked the list.

Did you happen to see the bear at the Senior Open the other day? There were no bear obstacles at Miniature Golf. They also had a muledeer pass through and a fox, as well.



Really bad time for this guy to be pulled over.

Could it be? Seems there might be potential for life on Mars.

I saw one of the funniest things ever on "Friday Night Fights" last night. Adonis Stevenson knocked down Anthony Bonsante with his first punch that landed in their bout. Not sure what the hell Bonsante was thinking. But he decided to lay down motionless with his eyes closed, as the ref starts his count. The ref gets to six, than stops the bout. All of a sudden, Bonsante hops up and starts complaining that he wasn't knocked out. I guess he decided to play possum. Why? I have no idea.

Here is the video. Go to about 2:22 for the fight.



Anyhow, the argument was just as funny as the decision. I had never seen that before. The bout lasted all of a minute.
