International Woman (made it back from Florida) and Queen of the Road (yes, and I might as well say it: she has a PhD in cannon law and mobile artillery, and she gives good epistemology) Leslie Winer arrives in gay Paree several hours ahead of her good humour and treats us today to how she really feels about children of privilege in hats, tech school wannabe academics, raw meat programmers, one-string to the bow sardonic cartoon ironicists qua bourgeois wine merchant asshats, and Page Rank 10 blogging babes with too many tats and piercings.
And I gather she doesn’t love the ‘pedia like I do.
Ahh, well… it’s International Women’s Day so I guess I’ll refrain from slapping her up side of the head and just enjoy the audio driblets she has staining her tu-tout at that popos blog of hers.
8: i find SkyMall to be an alternative, exciting, sexy, webbéd-2’d and often more accurate source of information than wikipedia. IMHO.
hey, winer-lévy hearts wikipedia. she’s got the wiki’ in the wigwam.
par example
quote:
The word golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf, possibly derived from the Scottish word goulf (variously spelled) meaning “to strike or cuff”. This word may, in turn, be related to the Dutch word kolf, meaning “bat,” or “club,” and the Dutch sport of the same name. But there is an even earlier reference to the game of golf and it is believed to have happened in 1452 when King James II of Scotland banned the game because it kept his subjects from their archery practice. Golf Timeline.[21]
There is a persistent urban legend claiming that the term derives from an acronym “Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden”. This is almost certainly false as acronyms being used as words is a fairly modern phenomenon, making the expression more likely to be a backronym.[22]

From SkyMallPedia:
Designated Driver
You double-bogeyed the first hole. Lost your ball on the second. Hit a
house on the fourth. So maybe it’s time to reach for the other driver,
the one that dispenses a little liquid talent.
A great invention for drinks on the links, the Designated Driver fits
easily into your golf bag and holds 48 ounces of cold or hot beverages
(enough to satisfy a thirsty foursome). A keg-like pump mechanism
dispenses the juice from the insulated container out the top.
Includes cleaner brush.
I hope they add a good ball washer to SkyMallPedia. Like maybe a Starke one (2).
Although this is c l assy:

so when they say International Women’s Day is there like a minimum age for “women” (i.e.: can i give my girls the occasional backhander if they’re under 18, say?)
