Firkin And Bulldog, Ogre In The Woods & A Grown Man Identifying Himself As "Wink"
Happy Birthday today to TV personality Wink Martindale. He is 75 today. Max Baer Jr, who played Jethro in the classic Beverly Hillbillies, is 72 today, and the lovely, lovely Marisa Tomei, who in my eyes, will always be Mona Lisa Vito in My Cousin Vinny, is 45 today.
The Tiger Woods thing was the topic of discussion this morning. I haven't had so many calls coming in on any one particular subject in a long time. People's opinions on this seem almost completely divided among gender lines. Women seem to think he is a disgusting piece of trash. Men think it's no big deal, none of our business and he should be left alone.
Me..............I have no dog in this race. Whatever this guy has done and however it turns out will not affect me one bit. But the fact remains that Woods is a high-profile public figure, who up until now, had a squeaky clean image. People are fascinated to learn that he is just as much of a pig as most men. That, plus the fact that as I've always believed, many people have no real lives to speak of, and they live vicariously through these various celebrities, movie stars and sports figures.
In any event, this guy's problems continue to mount, and twists and turns in this story keep happening almost every hour. According to "The Daily Beast", Woods has agreed to pay his wife $5 million up front and another $55 million over the next two years to persuade her to stay in their marriage for, at least, that two-year period. I can't imagine her NOT doing that. Heck, I'd live with the guy for two years for that kind of money. It sounds like a lot of money, BUT the word is that if they divorce, even with the prenuptial agreement, she could walk away with about a half a billion dollars. If I were her, I'd go for the divorce. She'd be financially set for the rest of her life and would no longer have to be worried about what this guy is doing out on these tours. Plus, let's face it, she certainly doesn't have to worry about getting a date.
Ogre Winfrey has entered into this fiasco. She called Woods to offer him advice and reassurance. She also offered him the opportunity to come on to her show to tell his side of the story. If you think about it, he also HAS to take her up on the offer. If he doesn't, Ogre could wind up going to all of his extra-marital chickiepoos, and putting THEM on the show. These ladies are eventually going to find themselves on TV anyway, so he might as well go on and at least get his side of the story out.
Better yet, I think Ogre should have him on the show ALONG WITH his wife AND the mistresses, but not tell him they are there until they get on the air. "Tiger, we have a little surprise for you! Backstage are your wife and mistresses. LADIES....COME ON DOWN!!!"
Legally, Woods got a ticket for his accident with a $165.00 fine plus two points on his license. This is no laughing matter to be taken lightly. Those points could very well raise his car insurance premiums.
