I tell ya, cemeteries and golf courses are the biggest wastes of space.

Well at least someone is doing something useful with all that wasted space.

I'm with ya on that. Every time I drive past a golf course, I imagine the golfers put to work tilling the crops that were planted there instead.

Ironic that the guy in the first photo is wearing a Jack Nicklaus t-shirt.

I actually stole that line from Caddyshack, but anywhoo I often think of how golf courses are a waste of space as I'm golfing. After I finish a round I think "well, that was an expensive way to walk around and drink."

But it's business so I go.

Agreed though I hate golf courses more because they get exemptions from water restrictions. That really irks me.

I live on a golf course - tainted by depleted uranium and unexploded bombs. Everyday I become a little more zombie like.
 
2011-11-17 11:15:59 AM
I sometimes wonder what life would be like if it were that simple. You know, get drunk, sleep on someone's grave. Who needs a shirt?

Not a bad gig - your neighbors are quiet, your landscapers are free, no rowdy visitors past dusk, and you get flowers delivered to your doorstep every day.

If I didn't buy that plot of land in Tellico Village from Ponch I'd be looking into this.

Believe the word I will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates.

For the last decade, I've worked the night shift security at a sprawling cemetery. Ever few weeks a new hobo shows up who thinks he can make camp in the isolated woodlands surrounding the property. He'll linger for a few days until I find him, sprawled across a grave, stinking drunk, looking deader than most of the cold meat that passes through my hands. The first time, he gets a bucket of cold bodily fluids thrown on him, courtesy of the embalming room, and a warning he'd better clear out. Most of them do, but a few sticky bastards don't take the warning, and I have to get serious. The next time I catch them, I seal them up in a coffin, either alone, or with a fresh corpse if one's available. When they wake up in the morning, I let them bang around in there, screaming and hollering, "I'M NOT DEAD! I'M NOT DEAD!" Well, maybe not physically, but surely metaphysically. Usually, when I let them out there so freaked out from withdrawals, minor asphyxiation, and terror, that I have to whack them a time or two with the shovel to get them settled down. If that still doesn't clear them out, well, then, there's always room at the Bottom of the Grave Inn.

You had me until I got to "embalming fluid..." then I'm like pshaw, he's pulling my leg.

Actually, The meaning of the word "links" comes from the fact that the area of land "links" the land with the sea. The land, due to its sandy nature was unsuitable for building houses, and equally unsuitable for farmland due to the salt content of the turf.

so no crops were tilled in the creation of links courses.

I wish you'd compile a book with all the interesting lives you've lived over the years. You could write it as a crotchety old man type, and include all the interesting stuff from your Fark posts.

It would be funny, entertaining, and much more interesting to read than most fiction now-a-days.

I was there in October '94. Every park in the city was full of squatters from the surrounding country who had come looking for work.

How about lawns in general? I'll never understand Western civilization's obsession with growing sod like it is a revered god. I might be crazy, but some people actually grow food on land.

Not bad--you've certainly worked on it a bit. Sure sounds better than "find teenagers drinking, making out or horsing around, call the real cops."
