The 'X' symbol looks like it should be on the chest of a Superhero, not on a golf club! :yuk:

Nice sticks! Welcome to the site. Seems like you had a head start. You're definitely up on things... :love:

Any of you twentysomethings and thirtysomethings going to a Halloween Party this year like myself? I think. I've come up with some pretty good costumes over the years. I've been Mr. T. Flavor Flav. The Slim Jim guy and the Dice Man. A buddy of mine has a blowout party every year with 60 or so people. My costume this year is "Paul Sr." from American Chopper. Just curious to see if anybody's going out to a costume party this year and what did you dress up as over the years.

I haven't done this yet, but it sounds pretty neat. Courtesy of Tourbus.com: You've got a burning question... but you're stuck somewhere with no internet connection. News Flash... Google SMS lets you search the web from your mobile phone! Google SMS serves up answers to specialized queries, and it's as simple as sending a text message. Even if you don't have web access on your cell phone or mobile device, you can send your query as a text message and get phone book listings, dictionary definitions, product prices and more. OK, upfront disclaimer time. Google SMS is still in beta (test mode) and only works on major wireless providers in the USA, namely AT&T, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, and Verizon. The good news is you don't need a brand-new fancy phone with web browsing built in. Google SMS should work on almost any mobile or handheld, as long as you have the ability to send and receive text messages. -------------------------- MUST... HAVE... PIZZA!!! -------------------------- And wings, please, with medium sauce. So let's try a query. We'll find a nearby pizza joint in New Paltz, NY. Send your text message to 46645 (the numbers spell "GOOGL") like this: pizza new paltz ny Or, if you know the zipcode, you can shorten it to: pizza 12561 You'll get your answer in a reply text message, usually within a few seconds in a format like this: (1of2) Google Local: Village Pizza 81 North Chestnut St. New Paltz NY 12561 (845) 255-3100 Gourmet Pizza 68 Main Str New Paltz NY 12561 (845) 255-2666 The "1of2" tells you to look for another message labelled "2of2" with more results. You may get up to four responses. ------------- 86ing 4-1-1 ------------- Google SMS also serves up business and residential phone listings. Why would anyone ever call the phone company for information and *pay* for it, when Google SMS is free? Here are some examples: Starbucks 02116 Home Depot Topeka KS Or to find publicly listed phone numbers and addresses for residences in the US, try a query like one of these. Specify all the info you know to increase the chances of a successful search. Note that you can omit first name, use an initial, specify the city and/or state, or just the zipcode or area code. john smith palo alto ca smith 10940 j smith 914 845-343-2623 ------------------------ Lampshade Now Optional ------------------------ Google SMS will make you the life of the party when people around you notice your skill at retrieving dictionary definitions and doing price comparisons. "Hey Alice, Bob just looked up the word 'bloviate' using his cell phone!" define bloviate If you're in a store bargain hunting, Google SMS will access Froogle to search millions of products from stores on the web. The results contain no ads, just current prices for products available online. price dvd player price delonghi coffee maker price 27 inch sony television ---------------- SMS to Impress ---------------- Suppose that girl at the party is just not impressed that you can get phone listings and compare coffee makers with your phone. What if she says "Well that's fine, but what about the moons of Uranus?" Not a problem... Snippets to the rescue! A snippet is an excerpt from the results page when you do a search on Google. You don't get the full web results and you can't click on any of the links, but sometimes the answer to your question will be found in the snippets. Happily, G moons of uranus returns this: Google Web: * The Moons of Uranus-The following image (Ref) shows the 5 largest satellites of Uranus: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon... Surely that will leave her speechless. Here are some other snippet search examples: G mother in law's day G population fresno ca G latitude podunk ny --------------------- It Slices, It Dices --------------------- My old, clunky cell phone doesn't have a calculator. But Google SMS does. The calculator can solve basic math problems, convert units of measure and other fun stuff. Some examples: 52134*98.6 23967/12 2^20 sqrt(490) half a cup in teaspoons 2 gallons in liters Query with an area code and see the region that area code covers. 914 415 Or query by zipcode and get results for the area that zip covers. 12486 94404 If you forget any of the Google SMS commands, just send 'help' as a text message to 46645 and you'll receive instructions and tips on how to use the service. Oh, and if your phone is configured to add a signature to outgoing text messages, you'll have to turn that off to receive Google SMS results. Want more info on Google SMS?

Very strange. Paul just sent me a Hiro 7 iron to demo. Looks brand new too.... :whistle: :spit:

PM sent

You guys are killin me.. :love: Screw Black! :mad: I like the look (looks like Dan Marino's set). Damn FAQ, you are the club master! Great stuff. :love:

:surprize:

Please PM me if you have one or know where I can buy one. Thanks. :cool:

Well gents, if it's any consolation, my job REALLY sucks. If anyone is in IT and hears the words 'Sarbanes-Oxley' otherwise known as SOX, you'll know what I mean. It's a stupid law by stupid rich Senators designed to prevent another 'Enron' disaster, but winds up affecting us IT grunts who now cannot touch production applications anymore. It was crooked 'other' rich guys who caused Enron's debacle, not IT. Life is officially miserable here. :mad: Now my standard answer to the question "How's work going?" is "It SOX!"

Professionally assembled. Club is BRAND NEW. Hit 5 balls. Winn harmony tour grip. Plays at 45". Unsure of swingweight, but feels 'standard'. $250 paypalled, shipped and insured in the US. Only trades would be a mint Bettinardi mallet putter, 34". I'm gonna stick w/my 380. (My putting needs the most work anyway) PM me.

Also, I'll include a 15 pack of new Lady Pinnacle Golf balls to the lucky buyer!

Ohms, I've had Paul Manco of Shreveportgolfonline.com install Nippons in two wedges, a FW wood and a set of Miura CB201s. I love the Nippon shafts. They feel much better than the old 'steel bar standby' (DG) and aren't as rubbery feeling as rifles. I didn't improve distance any, but the dispersion was noticably tighter than the Rifle 5.5s I'm currently playing in my irons. My next set, which will be MP-32s or Naks, will have Nippon 950s in them, installed by Paul, of course. :cool:

$400 shipped!!!!!

Clubs are brand new in box. $450 shipped in Cont. US. Christmas is coming...... email me at [email protected] if interested. Thanks!

Sick day today (I am actually sick, too :) ) Nice surprise to see the WGC on ESPN at 9am! You do realize that I am caught in the near deadly combination of Party Poker on the laptop while watching Golf on TV! I may not move for six hours. Need to watch out for blood clots! :laugh:

Doesn't matter to me if it has a sightline or not. I putt crappy with both! :laugh:

Gotta give Bruce Leroy and Sho-Nuff the love! :cool:

Its funny how you just joined TODAY and are flapping off about something that you know nothing about... Taking up for a crook that took quite a few guys money without ever having the clubs to sell.. Hmmm I'm like Borethru--makes me wonder :whistle: ..and you don't use CAPS anywhere :whistle:

Buddy of mine just picked up a near new one on eBay for $250. :cool:

Nice putting Helen Keller :wink: Maybe if I learned braille, I could read a freakin' green! :laugh:

Played in an outing today. Putted like I was Stevie Wonder... For some reason I haven't hit my driver well lately, but on the 'closest to the center' hole, I killed one. Started it over the right rough with a nice draw. When I went up over the hill to find it, my friend's ball was 4" from the center line about 275 out. I look up ahead, and there's mine: 2" from the center line 285 out. It held up for the rest of the day! :cool:

:roll: :beer2:
