People watch televised golf matches, and golf is somewhat less exciting than watching beige ceiling paint dry. That's your impression because you don't play (probably couldn't make it around a golf course, could you?), and you know nothing of the game. This is from the guy who loves baseball, doesn't care who wins, gets his kicks watching the boys scratch their balls. |

Not at all. You should know by know that I really don't give a rat's ass what you righties think or, I should say, what you have been programmed to think, and my interest in the Olympics is about on par with my interest in golf. Shouldn't you be over at the gun shoppe, buying another pistol and ankle holster in case someone takes away your main battle gun while you walk over to Safeway? |

Indeed, it is my impression and the impression of lots of other people, and you are right, I don't play golf...because I consider it...boring. And I find it boring to watch, more boring even than..soccer. Took my bike on an 18-mile round trip yesterday, from here to Chesapeake Beach and back. On Route 251, pretty hilly but scenic, as you know. Oh, that was my *pedal* bike. I doubt you would have survived the trip, what with your physical history. It's a tad tougher than walking around a relatively flat golf course. I was pretty tired by the time I got back. I'll bet you were. Physical exertion is not your strong suit. Come to think of it, what is your strong suit? |

One, four mile ride and a sore ass for three days convinced me it wasn't such a great idea. |

Well, you came up with some very profound comments about how the socialist amateurs beat the USA paid hockey players. I was astounded at the interest you expressed. But, you rather screwed that one up, eh? Shouldn't you be over at the gun shoppe, buying another pistol and ankle holster in case someone takes away your main battle gun while you walk over to Safeway? I see no reason to try and match the number of guns you say you own. |

Second, try walking seven miles around Forest Greens golf course. Third, I've been on Route 261 several times, never on 251, that I recall. But then, I'm sure you paid close attention to the signs as you bicycled past them. If you'd said you pedaled down to the 7-11 for some Hostess Twinkies, I may have believed you. |
