I heard an amusing story from my neighbour yesterday. The father of one of her friends is an old guy with Alzheimers who got kicked out of the seniors lodge he was in because he kept smoking in his room, and it was a non-smoking lodge. The family searched high and low and finally found a seniors lodge that took smokers and had a vacancy. After they moved him in, they noticed he wasn't smoking anymore. Apparently he forget that he's a smoker.
So I'm in a golf scramble with some buddies from university. 12th Hole, Monterra, middle pin placement. A friend in the group ahead drops his shot on the green, but loses track of the ball when it goes into one of the low spots. When they went up to the green, they figured the ball must have rolled off the green, but they took a peek in the cup and there it was. A hole-in-one! This is the first time I have actually been present for one. Funny thing is, this was only his second round this year. In his first round he also got a hole-in-one. He was complaining that golf will only be a disappointment from this point on.

I wasn't sure whether to throw this in the Paris Hilton thread...
When Spoiled rich girls don't get the correct colour car.
And I assume she thinks her response makes things better...

I love the brother "I'll be on your side dad" then films the whole thing all the while using arguments to "support" his dad knowing it'd only make her more upset.
The responce was hilarious! "Nothing I own is red" except her lipstick is a shade of red, and whatever's on her bookshelf in the back, third shelf down is also red.
"I'm so not like that at all, I'm not. I try to do something nice" WDF?! What did she do nice?
Keep everything she owns or keeps the car? Again, WDF?
Apparently her dad got her a blue car. If my daughter ever did that, I'd probably kill it.
That said, she's easy on the eyes. If I was drunk and didn't have to talk to her the next morning . . .

The next day, she realizes that she overreacted and apologizes, and decides to continue with the party. Regardless of her apology, she didn't receive the car she made a fuss over. During an episode of "My Super Sweet 16 Remix" it is revealed that she got the Lexus SC430 in the colors she wanted, but the car was totaled when her brother drove it out. So instead she got an Infiniti G35 Coupe.

The videos with the girl and her car have to be fake. They were borderline at first, but after watching the next couple they are really just poorly acted and screaming of being a fake. Either way I don't doubt that there are people pretty close to that out there. Like the girl who got a Lexus on the wrong day for her 15th birthday, I would like to punch her in the face.
