It is hard out here

We doin’ a hey now, a who ‘dat and a couple of Hoobastanks up in this here, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Oh please
The latest work out in trendy Hollywood is going to yoga with your dog; as a result, the yoga position downward dog has been renamed downward douche bag.

Amazing
Apple has sold over 100 million iPods. Do you know what every single one of the 100 million iPods have in common? Not one of them will ever have a song by Sanjaya Malakar.

“Woke up this morning . . .”
Did you see “The Sopranos” Sunday night? Not to give anything away, but it was wild. No matter how many times Tony tried to whack Sanjaya, he kept coming back. It was amazing.

Double offense
In Ohio, a male fireman was arrested for drunk driving while wearing a woman’s bikini. He was charged with a D.U.I. and with impersonating Camilla Parker Bowles.

Get it?
Los Angeles Lakers Luke Walton is rumored to be dating Britney Spears. Apparently after her famous crotch picture and after shaving her head, Britney has had quite enough of the Clippers.

Since you asked:
As I was watching Tiger Woods during the Masters, I was reminded of what Keith Richards once said when asked about enigmatic Rolling Stones band mate Mick Jagger. Keith said that he would have thought, like a lot of people, that it would be great fun to be Mick Jagger. The wealth, the fame, the women, the lifestyle.

But apparently it isn’t.

Keith said that Mick spends a lot of angst and energy and consternation fretting constantly about the day-to-day working of being Mick Jagger. Jagger constantly worries about his image, his portrayal in the press, he is fastidious about all of his vast financial dealings. Generally Mick spends his time stewing about all the problems that apparently come from being a rock icon.

The same thing seems to be true of Tiger Woods. Granted, he wasn’t playing his best this Masters tournament, and I like that, despite his 42 PGA wins, that Tiger is still hungry.

But Tiger was no fun to watch at the Masters. Come on, it’s a beautiful day, a gorgeous course, Tiger is still young, richer than hell, amazingly fit and married to a gorgeous Swedish bikini model pregnant with his kid. (Don’t tell her Tiger can’t come from behind. Badabing, I’ll be here all week)

Hey Tiger, if you’re having fun finishing second at Augusta for over half a million dollars, let your face know.

Granted, Tiger has more pressure than other folks from his sponsors to the press to the fans, but that is nothing new. If the guy wants to be more of an ambassador of his sport, like he always says he does, then how about showing that golf is at least sort of fun at the highest level?
