Next thing you know, Head started making these metal lam skis and things were ruined forever. I stayed with wood skis until I pulled the toe binding screws out in 1966 - I still have that pair, mounted on the cabin wall. Just another dumb**** luddite bragging about being an ignorant dumb**** luddite. |

wrote this crap: We can't have anyone being better at something than anyone else can we? Think what that would do to their self esteem ! Oh the horror !! I'm going to get one of those new ball and driver combo's. All you have to do is hit the ball and it goes in the hole. So as you see, it's still a sport. You have to hit the ball. Once I have one of those I'll be going professional. I'll be 52 under every game !!!!!! I've got one better. You hit the ball and it goes into the hole, then jumps out and goes to the next hole and so on. Boo-yah! I'll sit back and sip a beer while the equipment does the work. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012.

Bring them to DV tomorrow, ppppuuuusssssyyyyy, and you will get intimately acquainted with gravity. |
