The good news is, we can definitely keep the "The"

I think we have a runaway winner in the 2009 “Brand That Had The Most Difficult Month” sweepstakes. (Some interesting background from the Financial Times.)

    At least it wasn't "The Tiger Woods Climate-Science Dubai by Ian Davey." Dodged a bullet there.

      I'm pretty sure you just accidentally named the next Fall studio album.

    All they need to do is merge with Ashley-Madison, and everything will work out fine. (I should be charging for this kind of genius…)

    Colby had a really good reply to my comment and Intense Debate ate it. This really is the most annoying software in the world.

      Readers want to know, what was Colby's comment?

      It happens often, it says at top 6 comments or whatever but only 4 or 5 appear. I have convinced myself the lost comments contain wisdom beyond measure and I have not been invited into select group that is allowed to read them.

        You can see Colby's missing comment on the RSS Feed. His reply to Paul's first comment:

        "I'm pretty sure you just accidentally named the next Fall studio album."

        God's redaction system. Enlightenment's meant to be hard you know.

          "God's redaction system. Enlightenment's meant to be hard you know."

          lol. I agree. It is just frustrating to know the wisdom is so close, yet so far.

      I was thinking of upgrading to thumbs, but I don't want to be any more opposable.

      This really is the most annoying software in the world.
      Browser pop-ups;
      Palm OS;

    It's a sad day for golf in the Gulf.

      And fidelity on the fairway.

    Perhaps they'll rename it the "Phil Mickelson Dubai"?

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Crit_Reasoning Crit_Reasoning

      That would only fix half of the problem. Perhaps `"Phil Mickelson Abu Dhabi North"?

    This goes to show that Woods has played this completely wrong. He should have embraced the Sheik-harem thing.
