The dog ate my blog
Published by Becky S August 2nd, 2004 in travels, miscellaneous fluff
The August 2nd Good Grief! update is canceled. I am recovering from severe sleep deprivation, the Degas nipple controversy of 2004, a last-minute summons to Washington, D.C., a close encounter with a tour group on Segways, and a train breakdown somewhere in Delaware during which the only available sustenance was dehydrated space ice cream.
And all of this was after playing eighteen holes with boss-across-the-hall at the department golf outing last Friday.

YOU played golf? Mini-golf or golf-golf? I’d like to see a picture of that!
I’ve always thought Segways were a bit pompous, and those helmets just scream “Please slap me.”
Hey look! A covey of Segways. Or is it a herd, or maybe even a gaggle?
Jesus, I always get those terms confused.
What about squadron of Segways (’cuz I dig alliteration)?
I’m guessing that the group running the tour makes everyone wear helmets for liability reasons. Those Segways don’t go very fast, though; how much damage you could do to your head? The real danger is the potential for getting slapped by violent people like Dave.
Almost forgot: yes, Clair, it was real golf. No windmills or anything–just a bunch of sand, grass, and water. Details to follow…
Sorry to feel that way, but the sidewalk’s for regular walkin’, not fancy walkin’.
How about “school of Segways?”
Actually, I agree with you, Dave. If it has a motor, it shouldn’t be on the sidewalk.
School is good. Swarm might work too.
How about a BoyDoILookStupidAndLazy of Segways?
Sorry…I haven’t had my mid afternoon snack yet and I am cranky…and they just look stupid and lazy.
I am also shocked, actually scandalized that you play golf. Do you have your own clubs? Do you secretly own outfits with frogs/whales/strawberries embroidered on shorts and/or appearing in a belt clasp?
And don’t just tantalize us with a nipple controversy without any detail! Who cares if Madame Camus’s nipple is showing? Degas didn’t even like babes–so he certainly didn’t intend to be salacious. Could it be John Ashcroft http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/ashcroft.html? Which brings me to another point—I want to know how to insert a hyperlink—if DCA and other non-blog gurus can do it—I should too (whine, whine). I just looked in your “tech” archive—and there is no reference to whenever you posted the instructions. Please teach me and I will liquor you up with Mojitos on Wednesday (well I’ll do that anyway).
I would also like to know more about nipples.
I would like to add my meager voice to the nipple contingent.
Sassy J–obviously the link to the instructions on how to make a hyperlink are in the Chocolate exhibition post (read through the comments).
What’s a mojito?
All will be revealed about the scandalous golf outing.
