the things i don’t understand : odd things about my town
living into my "productive years" in new jersey there are a few things that are prevalent in the south that i for some reason or another just don’t grasp very well. things like, the 4 wheeler, hunting, and competitive fishing stand at the front of the list.
being in at a church now that is part of a town based around a lake system, and apparently a good fishing lake at that, my worlds of understanding and confusion collide every now and then. at the moment we are in the now of collision.
for whatever reason the mens professional bass tour will begin a tournament next weekend at our lake. apparently it is being moved from another lake due to some of the flooding in the mid-west. with news of the tournament i started to see the boats the next day. you know the boats, the ones that have all kinds of stickers on them (plus the cars that tow them) and have some massive sized engines off the back ends.
so while i was finishing up hitting some golf range balls this morning a guy asked if the course had a range. i confirmed for him that it did, the noticed as he drove away to park his van sported a bass sticker and a missouri plate. so i asked him if he was here for the tournament next weekend. "no" i’m hear for the womens tournament this weekend. me, "really." him, "yeah, she didn’t have a good day ranking wise, but she caught like 35 bass." me, confused look. him, "it is really nice here, we’ve talked of moving here." me, "i certainly like it. so have a good day hitting them around."
i drive away and i find myself in another state of confusion.. women’s competitive fishing….
total gross : if the principals behind it were not so real
love the onion, and love the onion news broadcasts. this one is just gross, it is scary to think of though as the principals behind making this product are quite real. tip jody
music monday : wild wild
in a bit of a repeat, i am throwing out another talking heads video. this is a long-distance dedication to mike, one of my parents who loaned me a copy of "stop making sense" for my amusement. i don’t think i thought about it then, but over the years i have seen the brilliance david byrne. this video shows some of that radical thinking, showing off that parody stuff you seen more of over the years. you might even see some familiar, yet younger, faces.
