The Fabulous Forum went up last Wednesday, and in that short amount of time I have insulted, offended or ticked off the following:
- T.J. Simers
- Sarah Palin
- Moose hunters
- Hugh Millen
- Tony Romo
- People who like to breed a lot
- John Mayer
- Patrons of Taco Bell
- Snowmobilers
- People who enjoy instant replay
- John McCain
- Al Davis
- The Patriots (early ‘90s version)
- The Raiders (current version)
- Dennis Rodman
- Writers who disapprove that I was once in Playboy
- Readers who disapprove that I was once in Playboy
- Dick MacPherson
- Hockey moms
- Jobless people who live in their parents’ basement, furiously sending missives because I’m a meanie who called them out for being fair-weather-cheering, chowder-soup-slurping, whining fans (Note to you –- please re-read the title of that column.)
- Fat sportswriters
- Republicans
- All of New England
In other words, it’s been a very good week. If I have failed to offend you yet, I apologize. I’m sure to do so in the weeks to come.
My Monday was spent on the 10th tee at Saticoy Country Club soaking up the rays, smiling for photos and sipping mojitos. (Anyone notice that I mention alcohol a lot in my columns? Also add prohibitionists to the above list.)
It was the Lisa Guerrero Golf Classic to benefit the Salvation Army’s Medical and Dental Clinic of Oxnard/Port Hueneme. The patients are primarily the uninsured and underinsured Latino community of Ventura County.
The event was as enormous success. Tens of thousands of dollars were raised, 100% of which goes to the Salvation Army. Pretty amazing in today’s economy.
Thanks to all of the golfers, sponsors, volunteers and, primarily, Cherie Roberts, Eric and Cheryl Lo, and special guests Tommy Thayer of KISS, Major League pitchers Bret Saberhagen, Jaret Wright, Brian Lawrence and Scott Erickson (yes, I made him attend … great course, great cause, I didn’t have to twist his arm).
Mark your calendars for the next one -– Oct. 19, 2009.
