If my nanny looked like this, I might "accidentally" leave things at home so that I had to go back from time to time.

Jesper Parnevik's attempt to win the Masters got off to an embarrassing start here when the Swede arrived for a practice round - he had forgotten to bring his clubs.
The eccentric Swede, who once claimed he ate volcanic dust, admitted he had no one to blame but himself.
"I think I'm the first one to ever come to the Masters and forget their clubs in the garage," said Parnevik, playing this week in his seventh Masters.
"If you knew our family you would understand," added the Swede, who's best finish over Augusta National is 20th in 2001.
Parnevik was forced to play Sunday with borrowed clubs while a private jet was sent to bring his own from his home in Florida. His opening drive was a towering slice over the giant scoreboard.
The Swede's blunder raised a laugh amongst the other players.
Three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo was stunned.
"He arrived to play the Masters without his clubs," said the Englishman.
"What does that tell you? Does that tell you that maybe that volcano dust has maybe been a bit too strong. He needs to work on the mix of that volcano dust."
Davis Love, when told about Parnevik's mishap, could only laugh: "I'm not surprised."
And this is in News/Current Events because...?
There is a small golf tournamnet taking place in Augusta Ga this week newbie. Maybe you've heard of it. It's called "The Masters." Just because a story is not completely interesting to you personally doesn't mean that it is not "current events."
If my nanny looked like this, I might "accidentally" leave things at home so that I had to go back from time to time.
I just lost my will to win.
How about taking this junk to ESPN, where it belongs?
BTW - Tigers Dad, told him not to marry, as it would ruin his golf game. Something about taking his focus off the game. I suspect that Tiger will be off for say 3 or 4 years, and then make a comeback when he has a baby. It's happened to a lot of athletes in a lot of sports.
That sounds like one of those nightmares in which you're naked before a large crowd or halfway across the Atlantic, realizing you forgot your passport. But I gotta admit, forgetting to bring your clubs to the Masters tops those.
Whatever happened tot hat lady who was gonna shut the place down? We should actually start a fan club for her..she has given us several years of golf on TV with no commericials..
You are absolutely right. I do not believe in religion. Therefore, I will lambaste anyone who has the audacity to post anything referring to the Pope. This is a site for articles about the American government. And maybe the Minutemen Project. Anything else should be banned.
Ask a silly question...
:^)
That and the silly way ol' Jesper always wears his cap with the bill flipped up.
Well, yeah. I was responding to a ridiculous post with one of my own. Diversity of news on this site is its greatest strength. I always seem to forget to put </sarcasm> at the end of my posts. But thank you for posting all the groups. There were some I was unaware of and will be exploring.
Where do you find a wife that lets you hire a nanny that looks like that?
Welcome back, P9! Have you been off working night shift? :)
I have a very interesting powerpoint presentation of her (Tiger's wife) available for anyone who wants it. Send me a freepmail with your e-mail addy & I will send it right off.
She could make me forget lots of things & not even care!
