Why I'm pulling for Greg Norman to choke in Asian Open

Greg Norman has it too good these days.

Jets off in his private jet to Shanghai with his fiancé, a still gorgeous Chris Evert.

Says he’s going to do a little business over there. His “business” includes golf course design, real estate, a clothing line and wine.

And while he’s in this exotic location, with a beautiful, former tennis queen, he uses his idle time to play in the $2.3 million Asian Open, where he shoots a 1-under 71 in the opening round.

Wears a hat with “Great White Shark,” written in Chinese.

As I write this, I’m sitting at my desk wearing a ratty bathrobe, unshaven, unkempt and still an un-millionaire.

Am I jealous? Is that why I want him to choke?

Yes.

But, you see at least I admit it. Norman never admitted he was a choker in his serious playing days.

Therefore, I am a better man and deserve Chris Evert more than Norman.

Does anybody have her number?

How about her address? I have some photos she needs to see before she says “I do.”

The picture of you in your ratty bathrobe, unshaven, unkempt and un-millionaire will undoubtedly sway her decision. Perhaps you could serenade her instead? On second thoughts ........

Ahhh darn Timmy Mac - that was a funny post! Of course RonMon, with his 'alternatives to language' didn't get it...but what can you reasonably expect from HIM?

Wendy...PLEASE don't let Tim sing - there's a reason he lives back of beyond in a swamp shack (the only one in FL with an indoor internet connection)!!! ;)

Y'know though, TIm - I can sort of see how Chrissy might find you interesting....much like the rest of us find the primates at the zoo fascinating....good luck though!!

Oh, I think Ron gets it OK, BV.

Too late, too late! Tim and I now have a regular sing along, but unfortunately I don't think sending Chrissy a recording of it would do a lot to promote his cause.

Women do find me simian in many respects. The ones I've satisfied, which is all of them, refer to it as "monkey love."

By the way, catch Wendy and my sing-alongs on certain PBS stations. Check your local listings.

Mr. McDonald - I was gullible enough to google the reference in your first sentence and I am still blushing.

Please assure me that a)the first available reference is meant for BV and b) that "sing along" has no other possible connotation in American English. I am obliged to ask this purely as a result of a).

Failure to satisfy ME on these two points and any possibilty of a relationship for YOU with the lovely Chrissy is DOOMED.

Ah Wendy - 'sing along' has no other 'connotation' in American English....BUT I do believe T Mac was beating his hairy chest and showing off for YOU! ;)

At least I HOPE so, since I'm also of the male variety and have ZERO interest in 'that sort of thing'....even IF there ARE banjos playing in the background!! (Wendy, that's a reference to the movie 'Deliverance' - google it or 'duelling banjos')

BV - I'll bet you good money - that would be Euros of course - that my interpretation of a)is right.

I did google "duelling banjos" following your reference to it ages ago - but fortunately found a scene which pictured exactly that. I saw no reason to delve further then and shall not do so now.

I prefer the education I have already received - "scuttlebutt" from Alex,and "rim shot" from Brandon, both of which I had to look up, but neither of which caused me any alarm.

PS Please do not think I am bitter re Mr. McDonald's preference for that tall rich floosie. She's probably tone deaf as well - at least he can hope so.

BV - In the cold light of morning I think I had better clarify that the reference I googled came up with a massive headline on YouTube of:
GO .... YOURSELF!

I suspect Mr. McDonald was fully aware of this.

Hence my seeking assurances that this was meant for you, not me.

Wendy, you're much too paranoid. There was no hidden meaning in the reference at all.

As BV said, a sing along in the US is just a sing along.

I would never, ever imply anything dirty.

Would I?

Phew!

Your Plastic Jesus is still watching you, you know.
