Stupid men yelling at other men's balls!

You know, I think a cheerleader ranks in the top 5 most useless things in the universe. When I was in high school, one of my friends had a crush on a wrestler from our school. She dragged me to a wrestling match one evening when I had nothing else to do. I had never been. I never went again, either.

I really pissed my friend off, actually. I could not stop laughing. I came very close to wetting my pants. (This was in the days when I still had full bladder control!)
Two sweaty boys were rolling around putting their faces and heads in embarrassing places on each other!!!! Girls in little skirts sitting around the edge of the mat, chanted and smacked the mat with their hands. The wrestling cheerleaders!! Just recalling it makes me snicker.

So today, my hubby was watching another really useless thing. Golf. He doesn't understand why it annoys me to hear the announcers and why I find the whole thing a crashing bore.

ANYWAY. I found it hysterical that every time Tiger or one of the other 'goffers' was making a putt, half the spectators bellowed, "Get in the hole!!" I wanted to reach into the television and smack the crap out of them. Their hollering added still another annoying layer to the bothersome coverage. Two stupid Englishmen trying to sound intelligent while describing men in funny clothing, chasing a little white ball out in the grass.

My grandfather used to watch golf on television on Sunday afternoons. As a child, I never could understand why people applauded when the golfer failed to hit that little ball into the hole on the first try. But the broadcast was always quite prim. No one yelled at the golfers.

It's only been the past few years that I've heard golfing's version of cheerleader hollering , "Get in the hole!" Useless. But entertaining.
I wonder if I can find an occasion to use the phrase while rolling around with ...

You know what? I probably won't finish that thought in writing.

  1. Why? Does he like wrestling cheerleaders?
    That's funny. You could take that in a variety of ways.

    Does he like to wrestle them?

    Does he like watching them wrestle?

    Or, does he like the idea that wrestling matches require cheerleaders?

    Please don't tell me you know someone who would yell at another man's ball(s).
