Remember that line? It's one of the few Ren & Stimpy lines that stuck in our everyday vocabulary.
Ren & Stimpy...great to sit kids in front of so things can get done around the house by grownups...but not that great for the kids as far as enduring values.
I relate this to the announcement that Mr Woods has decided to ruin it for the die hard Masters patron by wagging his big 10-inch...um driver...around Augusta. Great for Tiger and the other "kids"..Stevie, the media, Cadillac. Finchem "the grownup" can get back to work. But as far as enduring values...the poor badge-carrying fans that try to get a table at Hooters, or any other establishment will be shoved in the corners by the badge-carrying...wait for it..."kids in the media.
Mr Woods has now considered The Masters his way of marking his territory. This is to the increasing demise of the values of the game.
...remember when fans were all in an uproar (me included) about televising the whole par 3 tournament...
...man, that was nothing compared to this on-coming train-wreck.
Happy-happy, joy-joy!

Anyone ask Billy?
With all this hub-bub about Tiger getting ready for The Masters, everybody has been willing to speculate on the man's appearance...except one influential person...THEE man who holds court in Augusta.
Nobody has asked Billy Payne.
I would imagine that he does not want Mr Woods to show up.
Anyone remember Martha Burke?
She was the very active feminist who held her ground pushing for women to be admitted to the Augusta men's only club. She held court on the grounds...well, actually the grounds across the street...in revolt...pushing her agenda against the wishes of everyone there...everyone except the TV crews that made tiny Augusta Georgia a zoo for the week.
Fast forward to now. Can you imagine the zoo...no, the Serengeti, that would invade this green oasis that used to be a quiet nursery? My gosh, My Woods' appearance will make Ms Burke's event look like a little girls' tea party.
The green coats at Augusta don't want My Woods to show his face, let alone his game. It will take away from the event itself. An event that has held its high standards above all else and has prevailed. They want to prevail here.
Billy doesn't want to come out and say it...but I'm sure that's the hush-hush feelings. The Masters is bigger than anyone in the game.
Anyone.

On the bunny trail to the Masters
Like the smell of baby, golf has a fresh start this year. The Masters tells us this is so. So let's put 2009 behind us and let the golf season 2010 begin!
...and be hopeful that this newborn baby doesn't have another "accident".
