oldlady - your "philanderers" and "lost ball/Mulligan" responses are hilarious. So is yours toneart. I love it when a thread degenerates like this

oldlady - 11-29-2009 at 11:34 AM

I do too. To parapharse from the PGA, "You guys are really good !" Been laughing like hell all morning.

especially while sober...are we at the nineteenth yet?

Tiger says, "It was all his fault and his wife acted courageously."

My guess is the wife continued to use the nine iron on him when he got home from the hospital!

After telling them to come back on Sunday for a chat, he told them today to try again Monday and, BTW, his Lawyer will be there.

Only an Idiot would talk to the Cops AFTER They said that "Charges are being considered".

Good Luck with that.

The circus just got its third ring! The alleged other woman is now represented by Gloria Allred. Geez.

Unfortunately, this may mess with his appearance at Sherwood Country Club this week. He didn't play last year because of the surgery. The tourney is for his charity. Guess we'll see soon.

wessongroup - 11-29-2009 at 05:43 PM

I was not going to bit on this, but after seeing it continue on......

In my short time on Baja Nomads I have seen two threads taken down as they were deemed to "heated" and/or not related to the "Baja" per se.

In both cases they death with the human condition as impacted by the Environment, and in the second case the impact of Industrialization on other races and/or Continents. Both which had relevancy to anyone living in or on the Baja Peninsula.

This thread does not have anything what so ever to do with the Baja, yet it goes on and on....

Liked "soulpatch's take... "Kind of pathetic voyeurism"

I don’t watch TV, or listen to the radio as I don’t want to be impacted by programming (if you can call it that) and/or the commercials which are coming at you every eight to ten minutes, with Logo’s, promo’s of coming events, and other messages going on even during the “program”. And on top of that, the commercials deal with: sex, sex, sex, and some more sex.. In some manner or another.

Yes this is a topic, and yes this kind of event does happen, it's called sex, and it occurs ALL the time... get over it..

Can we talk about something else other than Tiger getting his penis wet, and giggle about it? ……. Please

I’m sure there must be some adult links many here might enjoy more than this thread, if the “theme” of the posting is any gauge.

But I suppose I will have to leave that to others.. To determine what is a proper balance on the board.. and needs to be put to bed.

Thought I would get this in before the tread is judged ……… ahhhh I’m not sure anymore

BajaNuts - 11-29-2009 at 05:52 PM

Tiger Woods don't influence me one way or another, but you can bet that the late night shows will have fodder for weeks on this one (IF the allegations are true).

"Why, yes, I will." she replies.

"Will you sleep with me again if I just say, 'I am very, very sorry?"

"Who do you think I am?", she asks. angrily.

He replies, sadly, "I guess we have established that; now, we are just negotiating."

Nah, Tiger just needs to lay the "wood" to her more often.

BajaGringo - 11-29-2009 at 08:31 PM

Tiger does have a Baja connection so I think the story is news worthy. I am just wondering now if they will arrest Mrs. Woods for domestic violence???

oldlady - 11-30-2009 at 05:54 AM

Updating this thriller....a "headline" this morning says, "John Daly weighs in on Tiger" (and we think we are groany) Ouch. Our bruised swinger doesn't need any more heavy lifting. Maybe Daly will choose to lay up at a respectable distance.

Please replace your divots and have a good day.

it's the actual game that escapes me.
Divot ???? one time you wouldn't know there was a club anywhere near the ground, while the next time there is a trench large enough to start a cathedral foundation.
The few times I watched the pros play, made me wonder what the hell I was doing out there.

Back to topic, sorry!!! :biggrin:

Must have been near life-threatening injuries. Tiger has announced he will not be traveling to Thousand Oaks to attend the tourney that funds the Tiger Woods Foundation. In fact, he will not be participating in competitive golf for the balance of 2009.

-----which is only 4 more weeks------injuries can't be too bad.

I'll bet that Mrs. Tiger has blue eyes-------those "blue eyed folks" are killers!!! Thank Gawd my wife has dark brown eyes. :lol:

ELINVESTIG8R - 11-30-2009 at 03:38 PM

He is not going to open his mouth to the Police or District Attorney because if he does his wife will be arrested and charged with a crime. It could be a felony or a misdemeanor crime depending on the weapon used and on his injuries. Tiger is under no obligation to speak to the police and did the right thing by getting a lawyer to protect their rights. I am no lawyer but that is how I see it.

BajaGringo - 12-1-2009 at 08:51 PM

I like this guy's angle:

Tiger Woods doesn't owe anyone an explanation

...He owes us nothing, but he does owe it to The Tiger Woods Foundation to show up in Thousand Oaks, Calif., this week to host his golf tournament, the Chevron World Classic.

Hundreds of people, many of them volunteers, have worked year-round to put the tournament together to benefit his foundation. Players are coming from around the globe to help raise money.

Woods often talks about the importance of the foundation in his life. He shouldn't allow the embarrassment of this accident to make him suddenly camera-shy and hurt the success of this tournament and the long-term health of his foundation.

He should be there on Wednesday. He should call a news conference. Make it brief. No questions, please. Just give an outline of what happened in the pre-dawn hours of last Friday and give everyone an update on his physical condition.

Then on Thursday, he should pull out a driver and rip his first tee shot about 330 yards down the center of the fairway. And, once again, he should hear the cheers for the only thing that should matter to us: his golf game.

well, he should spill the beans and make sure his wife is arrested for battery, so he can dump her more easily and move on to his club hopping with super models (he really can do better than the skank he allegedly has been seeing on the sly)

Nobody seems to pay it a thought about how tough it would be for this guy to sneak around without getting recognized.

The "other skank" referred to here turns out to have him dead to rights. e-mails, voice mails, pix. Weird though, she was a c-cktail waitress when they met. I guess the feeling of constant adulation clouds people's minds. That said, I read the take of one public relations guru who actually used Kobe Bryant as the example Tiger should emulate. Kobe's alleged transgression was seemingly much worse than Tiger's. Yet, he went public, confessed to adultery, and seems to be the biggest seller of NBA merchandise once again. Today, Tiger seemingly went public. How could he not have done so after all that was revealed? But it appears he's still not going to show at the tournament, where, even if he just showed up at the end to thank everyone, would seem to be the right thing to do.

capt. mike - 12-2-2009 at 03:09 PM

this is all i'll have to say on the subject.....

Apparently the police asked Tiger’s wife how many times she hit him. She said “I don’t know exactly, but put me down for a 5.”

Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole-in-one.

What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

What was Elin doing out at 2.30 in the morning? Clubbing

Why did Tiger crashed into a fire hydrant AND a tree? He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.

Why did Phil Mickelson call Elin yesterday? To pick up some tips on how to beat Tiger.

What is the penalty for getting it in the wrong hole? Ask Tiger, he knows.

Tiger drives very well on the fairway but doesn’t fare very well on the driveway. Rock me.

Whats the difference between a golf ball and a caddy? Tiger can drive a golf ball.

Nike wants to drop their endorsement due to accuracy problems. Apparently, Tiger’s spraying his balls everywhere.

It turns out that fixing Tiger’s game and fixing his marriage both require the same thing: better control over his putz. ??

Why was Tiger’s wife mad at him? She heard that he played a-round in Australia.

What will the headline be if they prove it is domestic violence? TIGER’S WIFE MAKES THE CUT

Given Tiger’s racial heritage can we call this a Black Thai affair?

Tiger just changed his nickname but still kept it in the cat family. Cheetah.

Elin Woods has a twin sister named Josephine. Know how to tell them apart? Elin is the one holding the bent 5 iron.

First words spoken to the paramedics by Tiger: Who are you? And what are all these trees doing in my living room?

Tiger Wood’s shirt is all red- problem is, there’s no tournament, and his veins are a pint low.

What does Tiger have in common with a baby seal? They’ve both been clubbed by a Norwegian

According to on-line information, Woods is a Buddist. At least THIS TIME we should be relieved of having to listen to the standard stupidity about the "devil made me do it." Now if he can just keep his karma from running him into any more trees..........sorry.

Apparently, the police asked Tiger’s wife how many times she hit him. She said, “I don’t know exactly, but put me down for a 5.”

If the only person that can beat Tiger is a blonde with big breasts, it’s time for Phil Mickelson to bleach his hair.

They're coming out of the woodwork selling their stories about liasons with Tiger. Locally the one from Escondido talks of numberous meets with him in San Diego, (at the W Hotel).

Hey, Punta Bravo was just an excuse to his wife for all the visits to San Diego.

Sympathy for a guy who can beat all the world's golfers, whose net worth is $1B, has a total fox as a wife and has screwed multiple hot babes across the country for years - SYMPATHY is not the word I would use for this dude.

What other words could be used to describe this dude or your feelings toward him?

wessongroup - 12-4-2009 at 07:03 AM

For almost a half a billion dollars... his Dad taught him golf, but sure didn't tell about this subject.. there are other way to do this.. I see folks writing about a place call Antothy's (sp) in Ensenada.. would think 300 million would go a long way there... don't think any of the girls would be asking that much for it... I hear that Fishbuck has some knowledge in this area... perhaps he would share with us.. how far would $300,000,000 United States dollars go in paying for "it"... seems Mr Woods did not think clearly about what was available to HIM with all his money

Does the dog look happy?

Have heard the expression of screwing the pooch?

Cheetah had to up his Pre-nup to $80M from $20M with wifey today. He is in negotiation with Gloria Allred for a fortune for the hump job in Aus. He has worked a deal with the waitress for $1M and how many more will be surfacing we don't know.

Now there will be ladies on this board who will cheer the wifey for upping the pre-nup, but that is only for the next two years of the ten year pre-nup. After that she makes no more.

What do we call men who pay women to sleep with them and parade them around on their arms?

What do we call the women who do it?

Again, does the dog look happy?

vgabndo - 12-4-2009 at 10:38 PM

You've got it right Diver, just another rich-a$$ a$$.

Somewhere along the line, it seems, a whole lot of our neighbors lost touch with the concept of honor and commitment; the virtue of responsibility and accountability.

I had so many sub-contractor on my jobsites who just couldn't resist bragging about their extra-marital sexploits that I learned a good trick. Virtually every time one of these yoyos got himself into a position of earning a 48 hour notice to leave the job, because of failure to perform he would come to me begging for yet another chance. "I'll get back on schedule, I'll replace all the defective work, you've got to trust me on this." I'd just look 'em in the eye and say: "If your own wife can't trust you, how big a fool would I be if I trusted you?" I never got an answer.

It is worth thinking about if you are one of the jerks cheating on his wife. Worth remembering, too, when someone you think you can trust confides to you that his wife can't trust him.

toneart - 12-4-2009 at 11:37 PM

When I heard them say that Tiger might be doing a rewrite on his Pre-Nup to give his wife a Potential 55 Million, I wondered How could it be worth that ?

Then, I heard later that he's good for a Hundred Million a year in Endorsements. Makes sense to keep her, after all, even at that price.

Self-righteous people. Let's leave the Bible and religion out of this. Anthropologists tend to agree that monogamy goes against human nature. Historically, humans had a very short life cycle. And many women died in childbirth. One of the fundamental needs of man is to procreate. From the most recent census figures, it look like mankind has done an exemplary job of populating the planet. I applaud those who are truly able to practice monogamy successfully for a lifetime. It actually does take effort. However, what I can't grasp is how our society seems to create a feeding frenzy in a shark tank, whenever someone, especially someone in the public eye merely acts as he was programmed to do.

DENNIS - 12-5-2009 at 07:28 PM

It surprises me that no one has brought up how this story has played out in Mexico, a country where "The other woman" is part of the culture. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that, down here, Tiger's mortal sin wasn't that he cheated but, that he got caught.

How odd:

Am I hearing you say that a modern married man should be excused for violating his promise to his wife, is community, and his god (if he was married in church) because he is less a thinking being than a barbarian with an erection?

Keeping one's agreements, and being accountable for one's actions is part of what allows a man to stand as a man among men. I don't have to fear a god to do it. I don't have to fear my wife to do it. I just do it because it is the right thing to do. Is it always easy? No. But, I have an agreement with MYSELF to be responsible and accountable. I don't want to have to be accountable, so I choose to be responsible. As an atheist I don't have (nor want) the option to fall to my knees and beg forgiveness. I have to live with the fall-out of my actions. There is no easy way out.
A man keeps his word, and he doesn't blame his weakness on his barbarian past.

Hell, Howodd, by your argument there is nothing wrong with rape, right? That can't be right!

Tiger Woods is a dick. Maybe it's time HE got the shaft.

BajaGringo - 12-6-2009 at 01:36 PM

And the reported affairs just keep popping up in the news. Some have given some pretty intimate details and my guess is Tiger's image is pretty well trashed forever; even if he does exceed Jack's 18 majors.

If he does, it will probably be something akin to Bonds passing Aaron's homer mark...

Not Just Mexico

The idea of a man having a wife separate and apart from other women he sleeps with can be found in many cultures that cross many religions. Think of places like Europe and Japan. American culture arises from its Puritan roots and I doubt that whether it's Tiger Woods or the Prime Minister of Italy, much of the rest of the world would look at this with little more than passive bemusement, if that.

That said, I really don't see how vgabndo can remotely suggest that I would somehow condone rape. Where'd that come from?

toneart - 12-6-2009 at 02:25 PM

Howard,
What you say is true regarding our puritanical roots. However, you are confusing two different moral standards. You are talking about puritanical/sexual morals. Vgabndo and Diver is talking about Trust; a measure of honor; a pact with himself, his wife, his family and every other person with whom he maintains a contract dependent on reciprocity.

wessongroup - 12-6-2009 at 02:49 PM

Moral standards.... you must be kidding.. with a $300,000,000 dollar prenup... I suppose there is some ground for the "morality argument"

However, something is broken when over 70% of the male population is not married and the divorce rate is , I'll use a conservative number 48.5%. Plus recent polls indicated that more than at least 50% of all married couples admit to having extramarital affairs.

Not condoning it.. at all.. just that is the way it is today in the United States of America.

Hero's the like of Kobe, Tiger, Ana Nicole Smith el al.... ahhhhhh morality.. I don't think so..

Reflection of our "culture" and "values" think so.. and I'm sure that Tiger would rather be "rollin" in an Escalade bumbin strong, than in that Buick.. but he have to say good by to the endorsements and the ability to play golf with the nice kids....

Man this is to close to Orange County Housewife's... I'm gone

Bajahowodd - 12-6-2009 at 02:51 PM

Tony. I get confused easily. But can you explain, then, given the attitudes of, say, the Europeans, how does that fit? Are you saying that a wife in Europe expects her husband to have a dalliance now and then, so there is no dependence on trust?

Yes! Some cultures are more promiscuous. It is considered more normal and done with a wink and a nod, usually by the male and it doesn't matter much, in those cultures, the the woman doesn't like it or is hurt.

I am saying, in whatever culture, trust is whatever agreement you make. What Vgabndo and Diver is talking about is the agreements they made with their wives, presumably Love driven. That agreement is expected to be honored through hard times and times of temptation. If that is the agreement you make, you have to expect that it works both ways. Would you want to be honoring your side of the pact and unbeknownst to you, your wife is cheating?

Some couples, in our culture too, engage in an "open relationship"; it is OK to have sixx with other people. For them, that would have nothing to do with fidelity or Love or trust. It is merely a body exchange...recreation. For them, that is their agreement. They trust that their marriage will endure. I am not condoning this. It wouldn't work for me, but for others, it has saved marriages.

Bajahowodd - 12-6-2009 at 04:33 PM

Funny thing is that I just heard a piece by Michael Josephson (Character Counts) berating the media for hyping the Woods story. Josephson considers himself among the world's premier ethicists. Still think it goes back to what I was saying about the Puritans. We love to condemn folks for what is considered unethical (or more pointedly in this country, immoral) behavior. But what we love even more is to wallow in the joy of it. Holier than thou comes to mind.

So this will probably turn into some unavoidable sex addiction deal and everybody will feel sorry for Tiger if he receives counseling.
Poor baby. He couldn't help himself.

Oh well, I'm a Phil Mickelson fan anyway.

Odd Analogy ?

MrBillM - 12-6-2009 at 06:08 PM

???????????????

"If he does, it will probably be something akin to Bonds passing Aaron's homer mark"... "

Bonds used Steroids to improve his game.

Perhaps Woods used Viagra, but it was for a different game and the strokes don't go into the record book.

Well, none of the record books that count.

BajaGringo - 12-6-2009 at 06:37 PM

True Mr. Bill, I only meant that there was a serious lack of public celebration of Bond's passing the HR mark and I suspect the same will happen with Tiger if he passes Jack's major's mark.

The reasons are different but I suspect the end result will be the same...

Thanks I needed that

Official BajaGringo Cadillac Margarita Recipe

BajaNuts - 12-6-2009 at 08:52 PM

oh Man! I could use one of those Cadillac Margies right now!

I'm off-line for days and now trying to catch up! or is it Ketchup?

ANYWAY-

In response to the theory that it is normal for a male to mate with as many females of their species as possible, I would counter that it is also the instinct of the females of the species to search out and mate with the strongest of the species.

SO- when little miss Secretary gets caught in bed with the boss, it's not her fault, she's not a floozy, she's just doing her part as dictated by evolution to strengthen the species as she looks to the strongest man in her "world"!

Now, .....that is the "devil-made-me-do-it" excuses, and I really appreciate Toneart's comments on commitment and honor.

What is acceptable in some people's personal relationships which may involve multiple partners, may not be acceptable in another's relationship.

When a person makes a promise to be faithful to one person, they should honor that promise or get out. There are "open" relationships where both partners are free to engage in whatever extra-marital relationships they desire and the other partner knows and agrees to those terms.

And often people marry and then quickly realize it was a mistake. Get out, move on~~~
Carrying on long-term extra-marital affairs is not good!

I haven't even looked at the tabloid expose's of "the other women", because I think it's a lot of feeding frenzy right now, so I'll wait to see what bait rises to the top and what sinks to the bottom....

arrowhead - 12-6-2009 at 10:06 PM

I've just been mildly amused reading this thread. In many other cultures, what Tiger did would be a non-issue. The French are probably saying something like, "WTF is all the commotion about?" The Mexicans have the same attitude, and it is even ingrained into their societal values. In Mexico, a man can get a group health insurance policy that covers himself, his wife, kids, parents, MISTRESS and CONCUBINE.

5800 plus views of this topic. I wonder if this matches Tiger's strokes?

I missed it, did she use his driver or wood?

BajaNuts - 12-6-2009 at 10:35 PM

BUT~ arrowhead~

can a wife get a health insurance policy for her husband, her kids, their parents, her lover, her slave and that good-looking pool-cleaner-guy?

NO???? She can't get that insurance? ????

WTH? Why NOT?

OOOHHHH! WOMEN are not supposed to have more than one (..uuuhhmmm.... keeping it polite here.....) malepersonalprivatepart

while males are allowed to wander their privates all over the place!

It wasn't too many years ago when it was "allowed" that the "Massa" could have his way with anny purrty young thin' that was in his "possession"...

Just saying, what's good for the gander is good for the goose....

don't go saying that's it socially acceptable for the male to "step out" but not for the female to "step out"...............

If it's acceptable in French and Mexican cultures for the males to have extra-marital affairs, then the males of those cultures should be equally acceptable to their females of having extra-marital affairs.
