Apparently, in 1994, the Dearest Leader (and the Implementer of the Follicular Clampdown) Kim Jong Il, shot a record 34 at the Pyongyang Golf Club. That's 38 under par, and it was his first outing on a course.
This was reported by the club's pro, Park Young Man, who obviously wants to live for many more years. He said Kim had five holes-in-one and is "an excellent golfer."
This is news to me, and I would like to personally congratulate The Dearest Leader, as I've played a round or two of golf myself, and I know how challenging it can be.
For more information: http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/19/opinion/19iht-ederic.html
I wonder if Kim Jong Il and Charlie Weis ever dined together?
ReplyDeleteTiger Woods needs Kim Jong Il's PR man, if not his short game.
ReplyDeletethat picture's a hall of famer. too bad it's likely photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteEverybody here knows about Santa Stumble on Saturday, right?
ReplyDeleteSomething to spice up the Sugar Bowl
ReplyDeleteTBL has mention of our mascot search.
ReplyDeleteHere's my favorite comment: "I like #2, but I’d prefer if they were fucking. I think they should be the William and Mary Fucking. I’d settle for the William and Mary Fingerbangs."
i love googling "follicular clampdown."
ReplyDeletedan patrick just made fun of w&m's mascot choices. publicity!
ReplyDeletefrom twitter, things i did not know:
ReplyDelete@WMMascot: Speaking of Pugs, did you know Swem has largest rare dog book collection in US -11,000 volumes dating back to 1500? http://scrc.swem.wm.edu/
What's "Swem"?
ReplyDeletei assume it's a pool of some sort.
ReplyDeleteIt is an outreach center for social misfits named in honor of Earl Gregg Swem. Dont know much about EGS, but based on his name I think he was some sort of royalty and was the Tribe's first defensive coordinator.
ReplyDeleteThey go up to eleven.

Um, Zoltan, thanks for the link to create tinyurl's. Was there something you wanted to share?
ReplyDeleteI suck.

Nice details, Marls. You forgot to mentino that his great great great great great great grandson, Forrest Gregg, coached Kenny Anderson, Pete Johnson, Chris Collinsworth and the Bengals to Super Bowl XVI.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that super-safe work link Z-Man. Way to give notice that the link would lead to a barely dressed porn star with DDx!
ReplyDeleteSorry. I figured that a Fox News link wouldn't be a problem.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a problem for rob...and probably Whit too.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm Jaleel White's agent, I'm making sure my client is on the short list for every Tiger movie already in the making...and you know there are at least three productions already in the works.
ReplyDeleteI bet Vivid Video is scouring its roster of dudes to find a Tiger impostor. Lexington Steele may have a new gig soon.
ReplyDeletejaleel!
ReplyDeleteLooks like G:TB's failure to finish the Cauc Hop is not the only thing weighing on Pete Nice's mind . . .
ReplyDeletehttp://tinyurl.com/PeteNice
Who knew Pete Nice was such a baseball junkie? And so fucking boring too?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I've heard that there is indeed a Tiger based porn in the making. The role of Elin will be highly sought after, I'm sure.

In my opinion, I think the agent is doing a poor job and I agree with Dave Kirvin's recs.
And, I don't know how to do that tiny
I meant to say, "I don't know how to do the tiny URL thing" but then I realized that Zoltan posted that link today!
ReplyDeleteToday on Z-Man and the Teej - how to turn long URL's into tiny URL's, and an in-depth interview with Jaleel White.
ReplyDeleteThat's the show Jerry...
ReplyDeleteThat's. The. Show.
UConn-Kentucky tonight at 9:30. Kemba Walker/Jerome Dyson v. John Wall/Eric Bledsoe. Should be fun.
ReplyDeleteZ-Man and the Teej is sounding more and more like All Things Considered.
ReplyDeleteTah-Tah-Tootie, go get Jaleel White for next week's show and some carpet cleaner that works on bourobn.
ReplyDeleteShould we buy Marls some Billy Bob teeth and a fake stache to complete the Baby Booey transformation? Or does the phrase "try and Oates it up" suffice?
ReplyDeleteWolf is Tweeting at the Wiz game tomorrow night, in case you're interested.
ReplyDeleteBlitzer, a Wizard's season ticket holder for the last 10 years, will be sending along tweets to the NBA Twitter feed from his seat throughout the game for the league's more than 1.65 million followers. The NBA Twitter account can be found at twitter.com/nba, Wolf's at twitter.com/WolfBlitzerCNN.
Just noticed Rob's comment about Dan Patrick making fun of W&M's mascot choices. That's a lot of nerve out of somebody who went to Dayton.
ReplyDeleteMark, how much does Chuck Strong to the 'Ville hurt your boys in the Sugar Bowl?
ReplyDeleteMontell Jordan was 6'8"? How did I not know this?
ReplyDeleteHe played college ball. At Pepperdine I believe.
ReplyDeleteCharlie's absence will hurt, for sure. Not as much as some programs though. Dan McCarney was the asst. Def. Co. and is probably going to be promoted to Charlie's spot in the offseason. He's a former Head Coach and a very good DC so I don't expect it to have a dramatic effect. Recruiting though, that's where some of my most immediate concerns lie.
Evidently, Charlie's coaching the D in the Sugar Bowl. Nice.
ReplyDeleteStrong was the Anthony Grant to Meyer's Billy D?
ReplyDeleteScottie Reynolds on the Jess Settles extended stay program...
ReplyDeleteBilly D was and is just fine. As I've stated before. I love this year's edition of Gator basketball. Not as skilled, but athletic, tough and versatile. It's nice to see them pressing (effectively) again. I do think Syracuse wins tomorrow night though.
ReplyDeleteAnd Charlie Strong is awesome and will always be a Gator. He's the lone holdover from the Zook Era. This speaks volumes for Meyer's respect for him as a coach, as Meyer pretty much tried to change the entire system and culture when he took over yet retained Strong. And this was, I believe, was Strong's 5th time as a member of the Gator coaching staff. I wore my Polo buttoned up all the way to the top today in Charlie's honor.
That Cuse/Gators game is gonna be fun...
ReplyDeleteVitale might have a coronary before tip of this UK/UConn game.
The Walker/Dyson backcourt is top 3 in the country...perhaps even tops.
ReplyDeleteAnd just for the heck of it...
ReplyDeleteLaRon Landry just got beat on another double move...
Really? A timeout at 4-0?
ReplyDeleteThis is my first glimpse of the (highly paid) young Kentucky team...if I didn't dislike Cal so much these kids would be fun to root for.
ReplyDeleteVitale is right. Bledsoe is underrated. Florida thought they were gonna get him but Calipari swooped in.
ReplyDeleteBesides my natural disdain for UK, I completely agree. Wall's a freak, Patterson the best low post guy in college and Bledsoe, Cousins, Orton and the rest are all studs too. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteCalhoun pulled Dyson after that initial steal...tough love indeed.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ!
ReplyDeleteWall's youtube clips look like a fucking video game.
ReplyDeleteCalhoun is gonna fucking kill one of his players.
ReplyDeleteSo for the last three years Cal has had as a PG Rose, Evans and now Wall?
ReplyDeleteI like the response.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, if you're a one and done guard, why wouldn't you go with Calipari?
ReplyDeleteSloppy yet entertaining game so far...how many pros you think we have in this one?
ReplyDeleteIs Edwards a whitey? Or is he jeter-y?
ReplyDeleteThe only way this game could be more entertaining is if a boozed up Whitney drunkenly wandered on to the court.
ReplyDeleteHe's Jetery. As for NBA guys, I'd say somewhere between 7-10.
ReplyDeleteMark, enjoy your Bucs' second win vs the Kellen Clemens-led Jets this weekend.
ReplyDeletefact: uconn beat william & mary and harvard by a combined 15 points. i have no idea what that portends.
ReplyDeleteFact: the Chargers have not lost a game in December since 2005.
ReplyDeleteFact: its harder to get into Kings Dominion than it is Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteUConn can't shoot for shit. They may lose a few games that have no business losing this year (I'm looking at you St. John's and Seton Hall).
ReplyDeleteThe Johnnies got a win over Georgia tonight I believe.
ReplyDeleteWho's the Lions 3rd string QB (back-up this week)? Because there is no way Culpepper lasts the whole game against the Ravens.
ReplyDeletedickie v with william and mary love! tony shaver's a ptper!
ReplyDeletew&m is not, repeat, not cupcake city, per dickie v.
ReplyDeleteI rewound my live TV feed twice after I thought I heard Dickie V talk Tribe. I would've never guessed he knew who Tony Shaver was.
ReplyDeleteBanner week for us.
I think Patterson could palm a 10 lb turkey.
ReplyDeleteHarvard beat BC tonight by 7. Can't hurt our SOS.
ReplyDeleteThis game is a little sloppy but its damn fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteSorry Z-Man, Jaleel can't come on the show. In stead, I lined up the Family Matters Dad/Sgt. Al Powell, and I got you a bottle of Billy Mays' Kaboom.
ReplyDeleteBilly Mays' problem was that he snorted a little too much powder and his heart went kaboom.
ReplyDeleteToo soon?
Never too soon in my dojo sir.
ReplyDeleteI heard that about Billy Mays for the first time this weekend. I guess his ticker was already bad and using narcotics that constrict blood vessels didn't help it.
ReplyDeleteBilly Mays & Tiger Woods: wealthy celebrities who used deviant means to come to terms with their squeaky clean public images.
ReplyDeleteThey should've partied together. They could've lined up Mays' coke on Tiger's strippers. Everybody wins. Except Billy Mays and his bad ticker, I guess.
I'm of the opinion we need another Die Hard movie just to get Reginald Vel Johnson some more work. They couldn't have given him a cameo in the last one? Who would have had a problem with that? No one, I say.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI have to imagine that Mr. Vel Johnson does not have to work much thanks to Family Matters. That crap was on forever will be played in syndication even longer.
ReplyDeleteTrying to put together a Z-Man and the Teej show featuring washed up stars of the small screen. Richard Greico is in, but Peter Deluise's people have not called me back. I am also looking to get the guy who played Dudley on Diff'rnt Strokes sot that the Teej can discuss getting molested by Arthur Carlson/The Maytag Man.
