Who here wouldn't go to a driving range that also was a tittie bar?  


Shivas,

Respectfully, I wouldn't go to a place like that. I hate hitting range balls.

I'll take the Super-Jumbo bucket.  Or two.  ;D

Anyone who's witnessed my play in recent months knows I need it.

Can't vouch for this, but my Googling reveals:

A Man Saw A Ball Of Gold

A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it --
It was clay.

Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was a ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Ay, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.

.....thanks again dan...

you see i always assumed the poems intent was to describe how goals met are rarely what the seem from the onset of the quest to achieve them......and i always took the part of 'but it was clay 'to be a negative but for some reason that line popped back in my mind recently and i realized that far from clay having little value ,instead it is a medium to create from..........unless its blue clay gumbo on a golf course [had to add that to stay marginally on topic ]

and i coudn't remember the poets name once again ....its great to get two things off my mind today so i can go back to work instead of being holed up in my closet with a sixpack.
