Old men and fans in uniforms...

So I'm watching the U.S. Open the other week, and noticed that not only were the players dressed in Taylor Made shirts, Callaway sweatervests, pressed khakis, Tam O'Shanters and saddle shoes, but everyone in the gallery was as well...

Huh?

Are they waiting for an invite to play? Do they have their clubs in the trunk of the car, in case some qualifier drops out, and they might have a cattle-call to fill a spot with someone from the gallery? I mean, it looks completely idiotic when a baseball manager dresses like the players (see: Don Zimmer), but what if an entire stadium of fans (assuming the majority are not 10-year olds there for Little League Day) showed up in baseball attire for a game?

It's bad enough when guys wear sports jerseys to events, but Golf Fan has taken it to a whole new level of ghey-ness...and golf isn't even a real sport, but a recreational activity (a sport is defined by yours truly as "an event that must include BOTH running and use of the hands simultaneously at some part of the event", leaving golf in the same boat as bowling, dart-throwing, chess and soccer). Go figure...

BTW, hats off to Fresno State for winning the College World Series last night. Screw Georgia - that's what you get for punking Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. Karma sucks, don't it?

Lex Isle-of-Man, we hardly knew ye also!

Here we go again - another bond trader leaving The World's Worst Independent Broker Dealer on the Face of The Planet Earth and The Some - Alexander Florida's former cohort, Lex Isle of Man. From the Ice Cream Socials masquerading as annual bonuses, to the modern art in the bathroom stalls (see pic at left), Lex finally threw in the towel and left for the friendly climes of St. Louis.

Chad Vanuatu said it best - "He's going to be sorely missed by all in San Diego...especially those of us that like to get him liquored up at the Surf and Saddle and watch him in action competing for those toothless 60 year old cougars throwing up all over themselves"...

Chad, you're an ass...

Until the next post, please ponder this - ugliest man you've ever seen: Mick Mars or Seal? Don't know where that came from either, I'm a little punchy today....feel free to leave comments on this...
