How does one golf-obsessed child misspell speech? Pricelessly, as it were

How does a child obviously obsessed with golf spell speech? See for yourself here, via this Tweet posted by a teacher in Kansas City, Mo.

There is only one possible takeaway from the kid’s spelling error and that is that he’s watching too much golf, though, of course, it is impossible to watch too much golf.
Presumably, when the words rocky and surge come up on a future spelling test, the kid will spell them rickie and sergio. But we digress.
Jordan Spieth’s mother Christine saw the teacher’s Tweet and responded with her own:

We agree on rewarding the child with extra credit and fully understand her reference to spelling the name correctly. It often isn’t, notwithstanding how ubiquitous it has become in golf circles.

Good thing his last name isn't Ooshuizen.

Rose leads, Snedeker withdraws from Indonesian Masters

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) Justin Rose held a three-stroke lead at the Indonesian Masters when bad weather stopped play Friday during the second round.

The Englishman, who shot a 10-under 62 on Thursday, had completed 13 holes and was 5 under on the day at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club course.

Kiradech Aphibarnrat (64) was in second place.

Brandt Snedeker withdrew with an injury or illness on the 11th hole at 2 under for the day after shooting an opening 72.

There was no reason given for his withdrawal, but the American has been affected by a rib-sternum injury for most of the season. Ranked 51st in the world, he flew to Jakarta looking to move inside the top 50 by the end of the year and ensure a spot in next year’s Masters.

Cow escapes Philly nativity scene twice in one morning, presumably needs a break from the in-laws

The holidays can be just as stressful as they are joyous, with finances, family, year-end workload, and Wild Card playoff scenarios driving countless Americans to the ends of their already pretty frayed ropes. Just ask Stormy the cow, who, fed up with the indignities of regular bovine life, escaped a Philadelphia-area nativity not once, but twice on Thursday morning, confounding authorities and delaying the birth of Christ at least a couple of hours.
It all began with her initial escape, after which Stormy was corralled and led back to her lonely studio pen. Not content with her brief respite and seeking just one tiny, insignificant shred of validation for pulling her own weight as a functioning member of livestock society, however, Stormy sprung the locks again and hit I-95 with clear eyes and a full heart…
FacebookPinterestPhilly PD were, understandably, not amused with their second cow-related call of the morning, especially when you factor in it being the same damn cow and all:

All I want for Christmas is a stocking full of gift cards

filoHand holding a gift card.First things first: As a thoughtful and spendy American, I understand the visceral opposition to gift cards. I acknowledge that they represent 30-40% of what stores, elves and my wife call “an actual present,” that they’re damned as sad, limp, pocket-sized indignities that virtually broadcast the phrase, “Happy holidays, and thanks for living by a CVS.” And while I believe that Christmas is a time to live out the Word of God or whoever by showering your lovable with thoughtfully conceived tchotchkes, I also appreciate how none of us do any of that shit, and that the three-plus weeks leading up to Christmas represent an Adderall-powered brown slush-covered quagmire of to-do lists and credit card overages, all of which we participate in because if we don’t, we will probably get broken up with.
To that end, here is my own little war on Christmas: Give me gift cards. All the gift cards. Give me nothing but gift cards. They’re not thoughtful and they’re not sexy..

Brother dramatically “rescues” sister in wrestling match, eternally warms our hearts

Usually by this time of the calendar, the highly-coveted, entirely-fictitious “Video of the Year' is locked up. Until two weeks ago, that seemed to be the case for the professor whose BBC interview was wrecked by his oblivious children and embarrassed wife. But, coming down the final stretch, that clip has seen a wave of formidable competition. First there was the baby adorably re-enacting the Rocky II training montage, followed suit by the two bros fighting city council's ban on house parties. Add a third candidate into the mix: a brother dramatically “rescuing” his sister in her wrestling match.
Dubbed to WWE announcer Jim Ross yelling over Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance music:
Three takeaways: 1) Using Ross' “MY GOD!” shriek is never not funny 2) That brother got in a tornado's worth of haymakers before getting pulled off 3) In this overreactive environment, it's a miracle that the rest of the crowd laughed in delight instead of writing an op-ed to ..

PK Subban scores ridiculous center-ice screamer, locks up goal of the year in December

Glenn JamesRemember a few years ago, when Steph Curry exploded into the NBA consciousness, forever altering the game of basketball with a combination of audacious skill and low-swinging cojones that taught defenses there was literally nowhere on the floor that was safe? Well, on Wednesday night Predators all-star defenseman and One of the Few Marketable Hockey Guys™ PK Subban took a page out of Steph's free-firing book, picking up the puck deep in his own zone, turning, and firing a center-ice stinger past Canucks goalie Anders Nilsson and into the back of the presumably still-smoldering net. WARNING: MAY INDUCE SPONTANEOUS HEAD EXPLOSION.
