Do you read blogs?  Because I read blogs....  Not really sure why.  I started reading them when my girlfriend at the time left one up on my laptop, and it was all about doing stupid stuff while high on coke.  Not exactly the kind of stuff you want to read out loud to a kindergarten class.  This struck me as odd until about a week later when I found a key folio to a hotel room with an ex-boyfriend's name on it in a suitcase I lent her.  Fifteen minutes later she was my ex-girlfriend.  Ever since then, I have been intrigued by the blogging world.  So this morning, I started a forum on today's music....which has now veered off into a wonderful tangent about Chappelle's Show.  That got me thinking.....since forums often veer into random tangets, why not blog about random tangents?  So here goes.....remember, this is for entertainment purposes only.  BigLucka does not condone gambling, unless it's on whether Bill Hass will double bogey a par 3 at Torrey Pines.....Oh, and BigLucka does not condone talking in the third person.....

  • Probably should start with Golf, you know, to be kosher and what not......  Was that a great final round of the Farmer's Insurance Open yesterday?  Other than the fact that Bill Haas fell out of relevance by the time CBS went on the air and made us Lucka players have to rely on the almost useless PGA Tour.com "shot tracker".  Seriously, CBS can show me "Jhonny Vegas" hitting a wedge from the rough at 5000 frames per second, but according to shot tracker he's still waiting to tee off three holes ago?  Oh, and now he just hit his second shot on a par 5 to 6 inches?  Yes!  I'm going to win like 178,000 Stracka Points!!!!  Wait....what?  It was actually his 4th shot.....and it was a putt?  I wonder if this laptop would make a good discus.....
  • Speaking of Jhonatthan Vegas.....  Dude's got some serious game.....  And a name like "Jhonny Vegas" can't be anything but positive for the tour....  Even if it's already the name of a rotund British comedian....
  • My wife had a marathon of Little House on the Prairie on one of our other TV's.  I remember when I was like 5, I despised that show.  I thought it was just a bunch of girls (cooties!) running around in a field.  I would have much rather watched The Dukes of Hazzard or drive my big wheel off the staircase for the 5,000th time.  But years later, I now find myself endlessly entertained.  Maybe it's because they just don't make shows like that anymore....  Or maybe because the older Laura Ingalls and Nellie Oleson aren't actually bad to look at.  I think Melissa Gilbert would actually qualify as a cougar by today's standards....  Am I wrong on this?  Or did I drive my big wheel off the stairs one too many times?
  • For guys that grew up in the 80's.....  I'm pretty sure the opening credits of The Dukes of Hazzard was the litmus test for one's gender preference.  It was pretty much either John Schneider or Catherine Bach, wasn't it?
  • What in God's name is a "mash-up" artist?  Has creativity been stifled to the point where people now combine music that already exists to make a new "song"?  I mean, we already have a movie industry that recycles material (they made another Rambo in 2007?).  Is this their idea of the "green" movement?  Should we have not given Al Gore that Academy Award?  What's next?  Is Lenny going to break the neck of Curley's wife then flunk out of boarding school, have a clumsy encounter with Sunny and finally rescues Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell?
  • On to Phoenix next week and the ASU frat party known as the 16th hole.....  Some people frown on this tradition.  Why?  Isn't it more indicitive of what are as average hackers?  We don't all sit around in our tweed jackets drinking highballs and reading the ticker tape do we?  (Except on Thursdays)  No, we like to hang out on a sunny day, have a couple cold one's and enjoy ourselves dammit!  This aggression will not stand man!

Thanks for putting up with my ramblings.....  Just a good old boy....never meaning no harm....
