I keep hearing you’re concerned about my happiness.
All that thought you’re giving me is conscience, I guess.
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn’t worry none.
While you and your friends are worrying ‘bout me, I’m having lots of fun.

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don’t bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now, don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town.
As long as I can dream, it’s hard to slow this swinger down.
So please don’t give a thought to me, I’m really doing fine.
You can always find me here, having quite a time.

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don’t bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now, don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.

Well, it’s good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright.
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light.
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete.
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete.

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don’t bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.

Now, counting flowers on the wall,
That don’t bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now, don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.

Don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.

the public interested, yes. but why, after all these years of behaving this way, did they suddenly decide to expose it?

i think as cracks appeared in the facade they felt able to jimmy them further apart to expose him. i had read that he and his people would threaten to FREEZE OUT media who brought up anything negative about him, heretofore. So, as the ATHLETE OF THE DECADE i guess they didn’t want to lose access.

My Saturday morning routine started at 6 am.... with Ag Report... Most boring thing ever, but... I’d watch it.

Then, the Academic Bowl.. where the smart kids from Yale and Brown battled each other aswering questions...I think, Michael Medved was actually on this show once.

Then... FINALLY, Bugs Bunny/RoadRunner would come on. I loved Bugs.. but, what really got me was the way my Dad would belly-laugh at the Roadrunner cartoons... I think, he identified with the coyote. :-)

Don’t forget Josie and the PussyCats... short-lived, but... hot!

I bought Johnny Quest tapes for my boys... and, they loved them too. It was WAY better than Clutch Cargo! Even with Spinner, and Paddlefoot!

If watching cartoons while eating cereal is the criterion for cracking up, every guy in my dorm in college was insane.

Put me in that category. Some of the stuff on CN is better than anything on the alphabet networks. They have figured out that if they make the shows funny for adults as well as kids you get a bigger audience as the latest episode of TDI becomes an excuse for family time.

Tiger is another media creation hype job like Obama. Good golfer but a fraud and creep like O. Show us the borth certificate and show us the steroid test.

I think he's waiting for his new set of dental caps , and the stitches in the lip have to come out.

A golf club in the face is no picnic.

So eating mushy cereal would seem to be normal with a major dental disaster.

The words from “Wall Street” would do Tiger well:

“Man looks into the Abyss, and there’s nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character, and that’s what keeps him out of the Abyss.”

I know the line and scene. Tiger is too selfish. This poor Tiger is cracking up stuff is PR spin. He is probably texting his hoes.

I think the PGA needs to star into the abyss for golf’s character then test Tiger for steroids and HGH.

” dichotomy is what has everyone interested.”

Its like the Priest who bangs the Women in his church.

Like an Alter boy who gets the girl next door pregnant.

Was it Fox & Friends who had a story this AM about Tiger also having a gambling addiction with making $25K bets a hand playing blackjack?

Didn't get a chance to see the story and haven't seen/heard anything since then.

I think he would get a pass on that. Jordan probably went to play baseball because he probably had a Pete Rose gambling issue. Jordan is known to look for golf games to bet against people. The problem is he is not that good and is known to welch on bets when he loses.

Have you seen this:

AP - Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer said Friday that it will "downscale" its use of golfer Tiger Woods' image in its advertising campaigns for the foreseeable future.

Well, with Tag Heuer dropping him, he might need to start making some "safe bets."

so the real question should be, why now? what changed?

Uh, maybe it was the SUV smashing though a fire hydrant and crashing into a tree?

Just sayin'.

nah. the press has covered up car accidents of favored sons for decades. just ask any of the kennedys or the clintons.

i’m saying there was something new that happened.... someone had to want to let the dogs loose... they WANTED to destroy tiger.

they’ve been able to do it for a long time. the real question is... why now?
