golf cart
If you've been wondering what happened to LLR, I'll gladly explain. I jumped on a plane (or more like 3 planes) and flew back to Oregon for my folk's annual golf tournament this past weekend.
Hasser and I (known as golf power duo: Team Awesome) did okay in the tournament, but suffered greatly when we incurred a nine stroke penalty for totaling our electric golf cart.
We did, however earn the distinction of having broken it to the point that the owner conceded that he had never, in like 21 years, "seen a (golf cart) axel damaged so badly". It's not something we're proud of doing, but it was still noteworthy, I suppose.
I took a photo of the damaged cart, but didn't really have time to snap a photo of the wrecked undercarriage in between all the, "Oh f--k! What are we gonna do?" and "We are totally gonna have to walk!" comments we kept shouting back and forth at each other. I felt like I was fifteen all over again, when I had to explain how I wrecked family car (except this time I didn't try to cover it up or pretend I didn't do it).
--------------------------------------
news to me:
Checked into iTunes today and saw that there's a nifty new Depeche Mode single out. [I like it, but there's a little part that sounds Coldplay-ish. I'm not saying that they ripped it off, but if you're wondering why Precious is the first single, that's my theory.]
In related news: There's a new Franz Ferdinand too! [No Coldplay similarities whatsoever.]
Striking while the iron is cold, the Utah State Fair made Napoleon Dynamite their official spokesperson. Three video clips: Box, Duel, and Horse.
After Napoleon Dynamite came out, I was certain that the Napoleon-guy would be in like a million TV ads and stuff. But, it never really happened - just dumb t-shirts.
Halo may be hitting the big screen soon, now that a deal had been inked. Anyone other me think this is a bad idea? The guy never takes off his helmet, and I'm not sure I want to see a movie where The Rock or Russel Crowe play-out this agonizing Master Chief back story. The thing that makes Halo so cool is that it wasn't a blockbuster movie, but rather a video game experience that transcended the video game genre. It had people lining up in malls to buy the game and experience it. How many people will be lining up the day before Halo: The Movie comes out? The answer: Slightly less than Halo: The Movie: The Video Game adaptation.

I wish I would have gotten a shot of you falling off of the golf cart and rolling. That would have been way cooler.
Thanks for the awesome weekend. See ya soon!
Just for the record: I fell out of the golf cart when I was trying to zip my pants up, after mooning people on the fairway. Hasser was driving, took a hard turn, and I spilled out.
That was in no way related to the other accident.
Sorry 'bout that. It was a little out of context but funny as shit nonetheless.
I hope the movie is full of lower-rank soldiers who walk around stifling laughter and saying to each other "His name is Master Chief? What a dork!"
how did you crash the cart?

You went to P-town? You lucky dog. I MISS OREGON!!!! WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING IN OHIO?!? That post even made me nostalgic for when I was 16 and also wrecked the family car in Lincoln City. And yes indeed I also lied and tried to cover it up.
I parked it close to a little stone wall. And, when we were ready to drive away I didn't realize the wheel was aimed at the corner of the wall - and i floored it. The wheel hit the wall with such impact, at just the right angle - snapping the axel.
A friend of mine did the same thing with a Myrtle Beach Golf Cart Rental and the people were not too happy. We parked the cart at the lot and ran for it.
They charged his card for the damages.
P.S. those roofs are not roll cages.
