Teach your children
« on: January 12, 2006, 10:22:31 AM »
You, who are on the road,
Must have a code that you can live by.
And so, become yourself,
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams,
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

I saw one of those parked in somebody's garage earlier this week.

Yes, proof positive that, despite protests to the contrary, most people have TOO MUCH money  :)

Actually, I feel sorry for the kid. Where does he go from here? I mean, a personal golf cart at the age of 5? From there, it's downhill all the way  :)

So that's what the lyrics of that song are! I am surprised that GCA's many lapsed hippies have not been waxing lyrical about all those CSN gigs (I think I have remembered correctly?) of their youth. ;)

I have seen CS&N a few times, but without Neil, CS&N are like Pink Floyd without Roger Waters.  Pink Floyd's reunion this past summer was truly a sight to behold.

Certainly the Old Testament God could easily have sent of a plague of golf carts. I wonder if I could work back logically from here to prove His existence?

Where's the holder for his 'kiddies' beer?

I mean, if we are going to train them, we might as well train them properly

I didn't see any GPS hardware in there either...

It's sad, but during our junior golf clinics, the cart is always the most attractive thing, and I'm always *begged* to get a cart to drive the kids around.

One of my favorite stories from working in the shop is a couple of high school kids who wanted to rent a cart during their spring tryout.  The course was still soggy from the melted snow, so obviously no carts were allowed, but they continued to complain and whine about it.  As they uselessly tried to make a case, three regulars in their mid-80s strolled by the front windows of the shop and waved on their way to the back nine, pull carts in hand.

That quieted them down.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu' for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cause I missed myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone


Is the untucked shirt-tail the modern version of a "freak flag" and is asking a kid to tuck it in like asking a hippie to cut his hair in the 60s??

Chris

ps. the second verse was superfluous but always make me smile. Crosby certainly was familiar with looking in his mirror and seeing a PO-lice car

Includes a "musical horn", eh?!?!?  What this little vehicle REALLY needs is a horn like the one in Al Czervik's car in Caddy shack...

That photo makes me want to vomit. I feel like I've been inadvertantly subjected to kiddie porn. :P

And speaking of fat-asses, I can't imagine how much heavier I'd be if I hadn't walked 60 of my 70 rounds last year. See, it's not just about virtue...there's a little vanity at play here, too.

Sadly, I subjected my 6 year daughter to the lowest form of abuse known, I made her walk 9 holes last Sunday afternoon.

I know most golfers would look at me as a low life for knowing how much she enjoys riding in a cart, playing with the ball/pencil/tee holders and watching the scenery fly by. Instead, I forced her to, gasp, walk and when she got tired at the furthest point from the clubhouse, walk all the way back in.

Maybe I should seek help but you know what, on Monday she tells me that she really enjoyed spending Sunday afternoon with me on the course.

Go figure.
