As my misfortune would have it,
Spiderman 3 opens
all over the place on Friday. I say misfortune because a few weeks ago I promised
my cute but psycho little nephew that I'd take him to see it as soon as it came to town. So, long lines and crowds of unruly, popcorn munching, soda slurping
brats youngsters are my agenda for this weekend. I think it's going to be inescapable. You see this boy is obsessed with Spiderman. Overly obsessed. He was the one I bought the
Spiderman club cover for last year...when I got him
a nice set of clubs. I don't think he's ever used the clubs but I know he's played with the
stupid club cover extensively. in fact, he promptly turned it into an evil, annoying hand puppet. The thing is, this is a kid who spends most of his time playing
FPS games so I guess his parents consider the Spiderman obsession a comparatively wholesome pursuit.
To add to my frustration, I'm swamped with work projects this weekend, and ...cruel irony... it's meant to be beautiful in CT! So, I'm just thinking... maybe I can get the kid to the golf course if I manage to procure a Spidey golf cart.

You have a moral obligation to get this kid out on the golf course, and the movie--no way under any circumstnces. You might save him from becoming another annoying lifetime dweeb--and for this--the world thanks you:)

I recommend buying advance tickets

and ask your nephew how much he wants for those clubs.
and, BTW, I'm kinda psyched about the chick in the shorts hanging out in here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure going to try to get this
ReplyDeletekid to the course ... or at least the driving range. He's actually extremely smart and quite athletic. I think he'd be a natural for golf...if I could drag him away from that XBox.
Nowadays lots of parents just don't seem to think much about it...especially if the kids are academically successful.
Yes, Becky has a great blog too.
Pat,
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to find these wonderful and occasionally weird information. What search engine do you use in your research?
My son and i are headed to Spiderman 3 as well. I use Fandango.com to buy tix in advance. It is worth it for the few extra bucks, and we stop at Walgreen's (discount drug chain) to stock up on Jujyfruits which none of the theaters carry any more. Some Spiderman golf balls or head covers might work as well as a Spidey cart. Make it a game and let him use the balls to battle evildoers. Golf is supposed to be fun and kids (and women) are the future.
ReplyDeleteRegarding my sources, I basically use my blog roll, I read most of the golf blogs daily and get ideas from what's being talked about. Then I find a detail or an angle and create a personal story. It's fun. Wish I had more time to read and write blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, I did the Fandango and it worked like a charm. Then we did the driving range which was fun. BTW - I Love Jujyfruits too. Cept for the red ones.
hope you finally brought your nephew to catch Spidey three. :)
