4 and a half minutes long…

Now this has got to stop!
Tiger apologizes for ‘spaz’ comments. Yeah, you read that right. Read the whole thing here.
This is ridiculous! So over in the UK, the term “spaz??? is considered a derogatory term for persons afflicted with spastic paralysis.
Guess what? That shouldn’t matter!
(A) Tiger isn’t from the UK
(B) Tiger wasn’t playing golf in the UK when he said it.
(C) He was referring to himself when he said it.
(D) Nobody important cares!
Stop it people, just stop it. I’m almost 40 years old. I called people a “spaz’ when I was 8 years old. I’ve “spazzed??? myself on more than one occasion, oh and I’ve played golf like a “SPAZ??? too. (note spaz with capitol letters, that should really get some paralyzed UK people all up in arms).
Webster (or dictionary.com) defines spaz as: One who is considered clumsy or inept. The verb spazzing is to be clumsy or inept. That’s what Tiger meant.
Even growing up I knew that, or rather that it was short for spastic, “of, relating to, or characterized by spasms.
Grow some skin people. It’s not like he said I played like a “Serial Killer about to take my 9th victim???, even if he did, why would we care about offending serial killers?
All these people who were offended by Tiger using the word “spaz??? to describe his crappy golf stroke throughout the final holes, I have a few words for you that you might be familiar with:
Whiner, bellyacher, crab, curmudgeon, malcontent, sourpuss, grouser, and grump.
Put the word “Spastic??? in front of any one of those and you’d have a pretty good phrase that adequately describes what you are for even whining about this.
Tiger doesn’t need to apologize, he doesn’t need to explain either, hell I shouldn’t have too but apparently someone does.
95% of the world knows what he meant and he didn’t mean to offend anyone. If he did though, it wasn’t vulgar, nor offensive by mainstream standards. So suck it up.
It’s getting to the point where celebrities, sports figures, just about anyone can’t say anything at all without offending someone. Get over it, before you ruin everything, ya bunch of spazzed out sissies.
Oh, and if in the picture above is how he putted, then he was right, that’s a spaz stance. But he’s Tiger, and he’s the pro and he’s on the tour and if it works for him, then Go Get Em Tiger.
Level 4 & 5 Pep Rally and Princess Parade
Tonight was the CGA Level 4 & 5 Pep Rally and Princess Parade.
Molly got to go to Gymnastics dressed in her princess attire. Which was basically a tiara and robe. (As was the same for most other princesses). Afterwards there was much fun and games as the parents and coaches wound them up for the upcoming state meet. Including one parent in a Gorilla outfit. 🙂

Barn Ground Breaking
While there is no official party or anything. We’re told that Charlie will be on site Saturday to start the barn. This would be phase-one, laying it out and setting the poles.
Giddey-Up.
Photos will be taken along the way and the site will be kept up to date.
Ahh the first grass cutting of the year…
Well it was about time. The area around the house that the dogs keep fertilized was darn near knee high. Honestly though with all the rain and our schedule. Tonight was the first night I had opportunity to get on a lawnmower.
But we Got-r-Dun. Well about 80% of it anyway, at least the part that counts. But I did mow the field where the barn’s gonna go. Michael had 4 teeth pulled today so he sat this one out.
The only new problem we have is Moles.
We are being over-run with moles. I need a sure-fire solution to trap those little $@@%#’s. We have a barn cat but it’s about as usless as Monty it appears. We have more mole runs and squishy turn than ever before.
I guess, I could just consider them pets, and not have to worry about them anymore.
But I just don’t like sinking in my yard when I walk.
