The pet peeves thread

Guys that scream " Get in the hole " either on a long par 4 tee shot, or when it’s obviously 20-30 yds off line on a par 3🙄

But what if was someone is saying in hushed tones before the shot “Here we are, a former greens keeper about to become Masters Champion” before the shot? :wink:

“It’s in the hole!!!”

That fireworks have gone from 4th of July night to 4th of July week.

My poor dog…

I’m getting to the point where I hate fireworks.

…and the poor horses that my neighbor has eating the grass down in my small pasture (at my invitation) in Paris, Idaho. I’m very surprised that in the center of my (rural city) block last evening there were no horse injuries… We’ll hope the animals manage as well, through the next two nights.

At least I didn’t wake up looking for my M-16 and combat helmet yet this year.

For the record, I don’t own either. It’s also been a lifetime plus since my time in the Army.

Several years ago someone started launching the big illegal stuff at midnight and my sleeping mind thought I was in a war zone under attack. My scrambling around in a triggered sleepy haze scared the hell out of my wife. She thought someone had broken into the house.

If these fanboy patriots actually cared about their neighbors, they would save their money and simply enjoy one of the plethora of fireworks show that will be going off on Tuesday all around the valley.

Yeah, that’s never going to happen.

There’s a few families in my neighborhood who all pool their money for a fireworks display every year. They rope off the school parking lot, spend the entire day setting everything up. Last year, someone let it slip that they spent 5 figures on fireworks for the show.

It’s completely ridiculous.

I live right next to a city park that has a big fireworks show normally on the 23th.

It’s been truly great over the years, kids taking their friends on the roof, people you haven’t talked to in a year asking if “we’re still on”, etc. It’s cool, there’s lots of neon toys for the little ones to nag their parents into buying, there’s a guy who put a camper on a semi truck who always parks on the street.

Americana, baybee!

Still, I think this year I might slip out and drive my truck above the city and watch while listening to Coltrane. Just get a different perspective, give a nod to a coyote, if I see one.

Who is that extremely chill character?

The Coyote Angel is from John Nichol’s book The Milagros Beanfield War
I tried to find a drawing which I think is among the inside art in the original book.

In the book, I recall it as a foul-mouthed, chain smoking angel

The statue looks like it doesn’t care about much; though maybe being able to get a parking space at Costco and buying dad jeans there might be the exception. :wink:

Loved the movie. The cinematography was spectacular.

Never saw the movie. Loved the books; especially MBW. I’m sure I read it a couple times a long, long time ago…

Please explain “alot” to me. Is it an antonym to “alittle”?

Coltrane!!! I’m thinking Afro Blue during the show, and After the Rain as the fireworks fade into darkness. Of course sipping on a nice bourbon. He’s the absolutely the best !!!

Oops one too many “the”

I’ve never mixed great jazz with fireworks, but I’ll definitely give this a shot tonight.
