Scaredy Cat Smakk


Today I witnessed Pepper the cat and Bunny both come unglued. I come inside from my morning jaunt around the yard to find this sitting in the breakfast room.



























Note to the bunny, next time sit the cage on the carpet like above and not on the tile. This will keep the thing from sliding around as much when wrangling the cat. So this thing is out. I'm walking all the way around it and avoiding it at all costs. I have no idea what it's for. Still not entirely sure. Bunny grabs Pepper and gently and lovingly (she never carries me around like that!) begins placing her in the cage. Pepper doesn't like this idea. She begins to put on the brakes and refuses to go in. Bunny then grabs cat by the back of the neck and tries convincing Pepper that she in fact does need to go in the cage. Cat fights back with cries and growls. At this point I am getting really nervous. I have frozen in place and a slight tremor has begun in my back legs. Five minutes later and Pepper has won the fight. Bunny is now covered in fur. There is fur all over the floor. I see scratches on her and what appears to be cat urine. Pepper has gone for cover under a bed and bunny is standing there and has burst into tears. Eventually after retelling the story, tears turn into laughs. The mess is cleaned up and all is back to normal. Except the cat stays under the bed another 5 hours. All I could see was her tail.

Pepper 1 Bunny 0 I think she even got Smakk into the cage easier then Pepper. But that was after a couple of tries. I expect another try on Pepper soon. I'll keep you posted.

Slavery Smakk
Yesterday was June 19th, also know as Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Now obviously I am an advocate of evoking equal rights for all human being regardless of race, religion, background...and maybe even sex. But I do think there is some room to fit slavery back in the equation. Before I start getting hate mail from my man Dangerous D or the other Crew members of color, here's what I'm thinking. How about assigning non-violent prisoners as slaves to citizens whether than putting them in jail? I could have used Martha Stewart around the house for a couple months fixing up Club 6850 and cooking up some tasty snacks. Even better, just imagine what I could have done with Paris Hilton over a 23 day period instead wasting her "talents" in a cell. We've all seen the video but I'll not elaborate too much on this one so that the Bunny doesn't upright my Captain down the sink again. So please write your Congressman for The Smakk Slavery Bill. Thank you for your continued support...

Golf Smakk
About to head out to Austin this morning for a little golf tourney at Barton Creek Country Club, so I'll keep this brief. Golfing with the crew is always adventurous. Had a little outing on Saturday morning with LRod & Buster and here are a few highlights:
Monsoon conditions for tee off. Once lightning stops we hit the links. Wish Buster and I would have got a cart with a windshield.
I park cart in giant pond (use to be cart path) at hole one where I can step out on curb and Buster goes ankle deep in water.
I take Buster down a 60 degree slope in the cart. Brakes useless. Lose control as cart starts doing 360's while sliding down hill. We pop up on two wheels but avoid rolling cart with Buster diving for "Oh Jesus" handrails.
LRod slips on bridge and barely avoids face plant. 30 seconds later he busts ass in mud leaving him great "shatted pants" look for remainder of round.
I hit at 265 yard drive with "cheater" 2 iron rescue club. Buster promptly makes plan to visit PGA store after round to get one.
Go into 18 tied with Buster. I promptly put two right in the water. Need miracle chip off the green for the tie. Hit a perfect shot, ball rolling right at cup. Ball takes right hand turn 2 inches from hole because of pebble in path. Buster wins by one.
