The Kmart "K" and Putt Putt Golf
After a good run and attempt at being a successful retail store, the Kmart in the Norton Shores area had to close its doors. It was a truly sad day for us all I'm sure. In the midst of their triumph they put everything in the store up for bargain prices, one massive blue light special. On last Monday night I went to a movie with Amy and Betsy, and following the movie we were standing in the parking lot discussing the past year of our lives, since we all choose to leave this area for school. I looked over at the old skeleton Kmart building that is now only a dicrepid shell of a once mighty empire (being completely sarcastic in that statement), and I proceded to make a remark about the sad loss our city has endured with the end of Kmart (again entirely sarcastic). After I made my remark Betsy and Amy broke the news to me that Betsy had infact bought the Big K of the sign and has it setting in her room! Betsy told me how she likes to plug it in at night and stare at it for hours on end causing their electricity consuption to rapidly increase. I was completely buying this story of the Kmart "K," and for all of you who know Betsy you know it is a believable story. However, Betsy then broke the news to me that she paid 1500 dollars for her Kmart "K." Now that seems like a completely rediculous amount of money for anyone to pay for an old used K out of a sign. The bluff was called, and I left feeling a little bit more gullible. Now on to putt putt golf which has nothing to do with this story except that Amy was also present for this proud moment in my life. Last night myself, Amy, Jenny, Christy, Chris, Austin, Shandra, and Alissa embarked on an exciting gripping game of putt putt golf. In my defense I have not played putt putt golf in at least two full years, but I have played a lot of Tiger Woods Golf this year, so I shouldn't be too bad. I began the night playing pretty consistent, but around the fifth hole I was shooting well over par, and I ended the night with the highest score of everybody. For those that don't know anything about the game of golf and even putt putt golf, the highest score is not the winner. This would maybe not be such a pathetic fact except that even Amy beat me and she could only play with her left arm because of her shoulder surgery. I will never again say that the game of putt putt golf is for kids or that it is easy in the slightest bit...I am now convinced that putt putt golf is the hardest game ever created.
