What To Choose - A True Dilemma
Having moved to Florida I found that a popular myth has been foisted on people...You are not issued a golf cart as part of being a Florida citizen. This came as a huge shock to me and resulted in going out and shopping for one. Which in turn called for me to spend money, something that I don't do well.
That said I had to decide what type of golf cart did I want. Plain and simple, custom, super custom or off the chart stupid.
First there are those that are replica's of various famous autos. The 57 Chevy, the Corvette, the Rolls Royce. Another would be what I call the Salvador Dali collection. (you can't quite figure out what the hell it is)
Another grouping would be the limo group. Super long Golf carts that seat 10 or more.
None of these appealed to me enough to spend the money on them. I was about to go with the ''Plain Jane'' golf cart when a great thought hit me. Having been a speed freak my whole life and also from the school of ''bigger is better'' and also the other school of ''if you need a fly swatter to kill it, use a cannon''.
After much deliberation I decided to go all out and really set Florida on fire, or at least my ''hood''....Lot's of old folk that I could terrorize with the ''Beast''....Since many old folk can't see for shit I needed to go all out on the color, the brighter the better or I could go stealth.
This could be more fun than playing bumper cars in the parking lot of the club house. (actually I watched a couple of old folks back into each other there.) the aftermath was hilarious, Dueling Cane's drew a huge audience of old farts.
I have become not only the token Indian in Stone Creek, but I become known by the locals as ''The Wild One''...I think they were really thinking the ''Wild Indian'' but were being PC and afraid that I would run them down if they said that.
After much shopping and haggling over price I went all out and had the ''Beast'' build and customized for me.
This my friends is the Rezmogolfcart, sleek, fast, mean, powerful and just a whole hell of a lot of fun for someone with my disposition. Surly would be an upgrade per Red.
On a side note the photo of the article image is a badger that the badger hunter (Wiki) brought home the other day. Very cool animals in Florida.
Ya gotta luv it....Bad to the bone as George Thorogood would say or sing.
For some reason I can't open the photo of your chariot. All I can see is this code:
It's open now Buzz, right below your comment.
Take a tour of "The Villages". They have "Carts" beyond the imagination.
Way, way too many old farts there..Besides my ''Beast'' would grind up their carts...
For sure, but they have some realy nice "Carts" to look at. They even have a "Cart" show now and again. I've been to that a couple times. A lot of the "Carts" are more expensive than my car.
Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!
Wait....there's no badgers in Florida unless Wiki brought one with her.
I was going to suggest you go all out stupid with your golf cart. Congratulations on reading my mind!
I'm thinking that was Arkansas humor...Good one, Trout.
Chubs the alligator on The Myakka Pines Golf Club
Holy shit! I bet he eats 2 golfers a day!
Only if they mistake him for a golf cart. Then SLAM ! Gachca !
Here's the latest video of Chubbs....
I bet he gets to do whatever he wants.
Oh wow, talk about a hazard on the course...
Chubbs goes where ever he want's to go..
Playing through?
This happened in 2011......
WWF in action....
But the guy getting closer to video the fight? He could have ended up in the middle of a gator sammich
Holy gator...wonder what that was all about?
Territory or, a female.
Been there, done that.
OMG-- that is a YUGE one! Are you sure its an Alligator and not some sort of Dinosaur?
You need an alligator cat!
Lol .... nice!
Remember the old saying ''a slow cat makes a good snack''.
That is one fearsome cat!
LOL.
The Ausies had a small dog at a tourist attraction doing similar with the crocks, until one day...
OUCH! Well so much for every dog having his day.
Amazing video!
But is Mugsy really a cat? I bet he's a Mongoose in disguise! (Mongooses kill Cobras)
Here be the facts:
The following observations do not apply to all cats, of course, but guesswork in the kitty catnundrum is you can never be sure when they may suddenly access their inner NinjaCat.
Yes, cats intimidate by sheer chutzpah, as Sucheta Frankel succinctly puts it, but it’s not just empty bluff. Cats have more weapons than most animals, with fast reflexes and exceptional aim. Damage to nose or eyes and the predator’s hunting prowess is compromised, often followed by the germ warfare of feline WMD: a nasty infection.
. Note that the cat has five assault weapons (teeth plus 4 dangerously clawed paws) while the dog has only its teeth.
Cats seem to deliberately exploit even their puny size: the mismatch between size and nerve violates all known fight rules. While the attacker is trying to figure out if it’s just a bluff, he’s suddenly struck in the face with a lightning fast strike/flurry of daggered paws to the accompaniment of that unearthly battle-scream waking the neighborhood four blocks around. Add to the din the victim’s own terrified yelp-howling and the result is an all-out assault on the senses that most aggressors solve by a rapid retreat.
And of course cats don’t win every time out, but then who does?

Sure, they’re sweet adorable loving pets. Note the many stories and videos of cats protecting their friends and family from attackers of all types and sizes. In fact as hunter/killers they are all too efficient: house cats are one of the biggest threats birds face in the wild— they kill somewhere between 1.3 and 4 billion birds every year in the U.S.
Cats are mostly exactly that equation that always has its alternative version no matter which side you see at any given time: Schrödinger's cat - Wikipedia .
We once lived in an apartment complex where our neighbors had the meanest cat alive. It would come into our apartment, and then hiss and spit at us when we tried to get it to leave. We had to don leather gloves and shoo it out with a broom.
The complex was surrounded by woods, and there was a lot of wildlife that visited. Every night, deer, raccoons, or both came to eat from a birdfeeder than another neighbor had in a tree right in front of our apartment. That cat would attack them - just run right in the middle of the herd of deer, or chase the raccoons up the tree. Yowling and hissing the whole way, of course. I don't know how she didn't get killed. Sheer meanness, I guess.
What does she have, like 300 lives?
Or one super hyped one. Wally is a lot like that.
He's such a killer.
Do you golf?
LMAO, Golf as a contact sport.
Mr Giggles constantly complains about the old farts on the course who won't let him and his buddies play thru. I remind him that some day he will be the old fart that won't let anybody play thru
Golf is a very old sport for Indians. We've been playing it for centuries but it got boring so we started using bagamaagan and made it a contact sport...
This is a bagamaagan that we use...
Hey! I wondered what happened to my hair!
I played once. Let's just say I became buddies with the woman that drove around with a beer cart.
After a while they wouldn't even let me drive the golf cart.
I was never invited back.
Talked once with a paramedic/security guard who worked on Caddy Shack. He said that the cast and crew would destroy/drown golf carts every night in a drunken death race that the mechanics had to rescue, dry out and fix the next morning. Amazingly nobody was seriously injured or died.
There is not a Cherokee around that would be caught dead in that kind of an outfit.
There are no feathers anywhere.
This photo opens, Kavika, and photos posted by Dave, Dalen Marvin Ross, steve, 1st Warrior, Raven Wing and BF all open for me, but your article photo does not open. I wish I knew why some jpg photos open and some don't. Maybe on my comment above the photo opened on your computer, but it did not open on mine.
Me too! But that was 20 years ago.
OMG, now that is ugly. We are much more fashion conscious and are considered to be on the cutting edge of fashion.
Mr Giggles bought pink shorts. And a yellow shirt.
I knew that I liked Mr. Giggles...the Christian Dior of Arkansas.
I'll bet that MR. Giggles has plaid golf shirts as well...
Would you believe not one plaid golf shirt?
It's true
Add a stereo system.
Roll around town blasting the theme to Caddyshack.
Heck, might as well add some of those spinner things too. LOL.
Maybe some undercarriage neon lighting too
Yeah, I thought about buying a golf cart but, they wouldn't design one they way I wanted, I wanted one that looked and, worked like this,
So you're what happened to the putting green on my course!
I take the fifth,
Marred a few greens taking the fifth myself.
LOL!!! What a totally hilarious story and picture, Kavika. Like all your other great stories, another saver for me to re-read and enjoy over and over again.
Thanks RW. I'm always up for an adventure...Happy that you enjoy them.
I have saved a copy of your many wonderful stories over the years,s some from the time we were on NV, and from the time you first started this group. I totally enjoy reading them again and again. I also have copies saved of all the many wonderful stores that Dowser shared with us here in this group over the years. For me, they are all prized stories from you both that I will always treasure. (smile)
