Security is awful and a drunk fan just jumped on Mickelson and clearly made him hurt his back. -- nm - MDH May 23, 16:04 5
- Not good. Doubt he's hurt but no way they should let fans within touching distance. Much less have to almost fight his way to the green. -- nm - zunk xometimes May 23, 16:09

      - Hers was a leaked video when she was already famous. - the wrong element May 23, 15:47 1
        
        My point isn't really how they became famous, just that she seems a prime subject for a reality tv show. -- nm - pmb May 23, 16:08

Just noped out of the shorter checkout line of the grocery store because the cashier wasn’t wearing a mask. Not ready for that yet. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 13:18 2
