The Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

And a blunt.

I didn't always agree with his point of view, but I always enjoyed and admired the raw elegance of his way of stating it.

I agree ... he showed a certain amount of courage when others were hiding behind what was to become "political correctness".

Damn. Hunter S Thompson is dead.

I need a drink.

A loss....



And then Sandra Dee is gone, too.

This came in my mail today and I wanted to share it, as a golfer (albiet, not a good one) and lover of the game.

For the MOST part the following is true of golf and golfers...

Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and why people who don't even play go to tournaments or watch it on TV?

The following truisms may shed some light: Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players being honorable people who don't need referees. Golfers don't have some of their players in jail every week. Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people. Professional golfers are paid in direct proportion to how well they play.

Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight when they travel between tournaments. Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts, because of another player's deal.

Professional golfers don't demand that the taxpayers pay for the courses on which they play.

When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them or back them.

The PGA raises more money for charity in 1 year than the NFL does in 2.

You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any tournament, including the majors, all day every day for $25 or $30. The cost for even a nosebleed seat at the Super Bowl costs around $300 or more unless you buy it from scalpers in which case it's $1,000+.

You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course, watch the best in the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink. Try that at one of the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadiums. If you bring a soft drink into a ballpark, they'll give you two options - get rid of it or leave.

In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season, like the best baseball hitters (.300 batting average) do.

Golf doesn't change its rules to attract fans.

Golfers have to adapt to an entirely new playing area each week.

Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.

Golf doesn't have free agency.

In their prime, Palmer, Norman, and other stars, would shake your hand and say they were happy to meet you.

(In his prime Jose Canseco wore T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone.")

You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a tournament.

At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer-funded sports stadiums and arenas) you won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name calling while you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.

Tiger hits a golf ball over twice as far as Barry Bonds hits a baseball.

Golf courses don't ruin the neighborhood.

I HATE SPRING!

Freaken pollen.

 

[BrightFlower]

I miss you.
I suppose that makes you smug and happy as hell.

Don't make me green with envy... i hate winter, come on daffodils!

Uh.... actually they do. The irrigation system often creates excess drainoff which is polluted by the insecticides and fertilizers that golf courses use. This runoff gets into our drinking water which we taxpayers pay to have cleaned and filtered. There is also the issue of the homogenization of landscapes. Golf courses tear up local spieces of plants in order to plant their golf turf, this often works against local animals who depend on those fields of wildflowers and natural grasses for food.

Even worse are golf courses out west in the dry climates. In desertous areas like Arizona where it would be smarter to have rock and gravel gardens to beautify your home, people, like golfers, insist on lush green terrains that use up vaulable water resources. Dams built in the US to hold back water rob Mexicans of resources... fair? Ecologically or Economically sound? Can we blame them for coming here when we're holding back their resources?

also... basketball, for all it's cussing and graffati and black culture - can be played anywhere, on any size of playing field, reasonable smaller than that of a golf course and requires less maintenece and if the blacktop is properly drained, it can be safer ecologically. Also how many times has golf kept some students after class from getting into trouble? Dang, can't think of any.


So uhm, while golf has it's merits: finding legs for ugly pants, it does have some weak points too.

You wouldn't be green if daffodils made you sneeze unconontrollably.

We did it.
You and I Babe,
We did it.
We did what could not be done.
Together.

Whatever you've done, you sound content.
I'm glad

Good for you.

And of course we all know they cause property values to depreciate.

If you read the post, I also said "for the most part the following is true." If you dont like golf, thats certainly your right. I happen to.

thanks for your insight.

And if I want to show the negatives of golf developments in a community, as a future architect, I'm allowed to voice those opinions in a public forum. It's not a personal dive. Golf has given many good naps to my grandfather, of course, he also sleeps through football. And if you have to add a disclaimer, I think that shows there is another side. I'm not saying golf is sinister or bad, just that it deserves some investigation as to how it can be played without harming the environment. And that isn't your responsibility, but people who enjoy the sport should be aware and voice their concerns so that designer and owners investigate their construction methods.

<shrug>

but I'm destroying the isolation of the blurts here.... soooo i'll blurt this...

i hate trying to lose weight, i'm set the goal of 12 pounds, so far i have lost 1.5 and gained 1... sigh... and i only have eight more weeks left in the challenge. HELP!!!!!!! damn motivation has been dragging, but at least my yoga is making me feel more balanced and comfortable.

Historically, golf has a poor environmental record. But a lot has changed in the last 30 years. You just can't go to Florida and develop a course without being subject to volumes of state and federal regulations.

I can't speak for the animals, but I'd rather have a 200 acre golf course as a neighbor than a 200 acre mall.

And reducing water levels for Mexicans has to be a win win for both sides. No telling how many have been saved from drowning as they swim over.

And you've never heard of golf teams? We played almost every afternoon during the season. And best of all it was free.

I think I'll go meditate on the all the harmful toxins released in the production of millions of basketballs yearly. 28 million dollars worth imported a year. Created by child labor. Oh the humanity.

A few weeks ago I slept with a professional Domme who wouldn't tell me her age. I guessed that she was 34 and her face lit up noticably. She said she wasnt going to tell me, but she was between 34 and 38, which I took to mean she was at least 38.

That's how old my mom was when she died. I was 17 at the time. I don't know why I thought of this just now but it's tripping me out for some reason.

<rolls eyes>

I'd rather live by a park that was open to everyone and not just golfers and that had a dog walk area so i could watch my pooch run, run like the wind. Ears flapping. And the only pollutants he makes (or would make if I had a dog) would be of the manure sort. And maybe the occasional fart if i had one of those farty dogs.

Speaking of which, I love puppies.

Oh. My. God. I tried on a corset today for the first time ever. 30 minutes later I handed him a check for $100 down payment.

Congrats!!

Once you get it, you definately have to find somebody with a digital camera, so we can see you in it!

Oh. My. God. I tried on a corset today for the first time ever. 30 minutes later I handed him a check for $100 down payment. I am so hooked. The mental and physical comfort of bondage wrapped up in a beautiful silk dupioni bow. Oh. My. God. I'm still floating.

And not to brag but I so have the body for corsetry. A 28" Chatterly http://www.deliciouscorsets.com/chatterley.html fit me perfectly off the rack.

Have I mentioned yet that I'm still floating? I get fabric swatches next week and once I've sent enough payments to have 50% down they'll start construction.

Congrats! I happen to love that site -- they make the most amazing corsets! I agree, get a pic taken!!! Just don't get any ribs taken out *winks*

Familiar instances trigger past emotions and energy...congrats on the Domme though
