Blog Guy, I guess everything is cyclical, isn’t it? I see all these political demonstrations, and it’s just like the 1960s again!
Speak for yourself, italic font-using stranger. I just saw photos of an anti-government demonstrator practicing his GOLF PUTT! Excuse me? In my day, the other guys played golf, not the protesters. What’s happened to this world?
WIFE: Off to another day of protest, dear?
HUSBAND: Yes, as soon as the detailer finishes with my Jaguar.
WIFE: Don’t forget I’m hosting Junior League here tonight. Can you pick up some Dom Perignon?
HUSBAND: You bet, sweetie! The wine shop is right next to the place that makes my IMPEACH BUSH! signs. Kiss-kiss! Hey, don’t mess up my double-breasted blue blazer and bow tie!

Well there’s a guy who knows how to come out swinging fore a cause. With that kind of determination, a hole in one will simply be par for the course!…
Oi… Bear with me, I’m a little out of practice…

To make a prophylactic comment: This is the Oddly Enough blog, not the Oddly Enough news. If you want the “Oddly Enough” news: http://www.reuters.com/news/oddlyEnough
Look at the vertical bar on the left side of the screen. Click on “Oddly Enough” under “News.”
This is “Oddly Enough” under “Blogs.”
For some strange reason, Google appears to be directing those looking for Oddly Enough news to the blog.
If you want to object that the format has changed, it hasn’t. Your objection is premature.
- Posted by RLMI can’t believe the protester is putting with a 8-Iron. Can’t he use a putter like normal people? Perhaps it is the only club he can afford. Or is there a hidden message in non-conformity that we are all missing?
- Posted by Real GolferNothing says “anit-government” like like practicing golf. Or play it, for that matter! Wow! I hit a ball!! COOL!!!
Maybe that should be a new torture technique. You will sit here and watch while I practice my put and swing for HOURS… unles… you tell us what we want to know!
