Some of you hopefully caught my espn.com article in which I pitched some absurd, potential golf-themed fragrances as follow ups to Annika, the new perfume currently in development. As always, it's fun to read comments from readers. But I've never had someone gush over me, my writing and (somehow) my own golf game as much as bmasoner55, who responded to the piece with this:
Hey Smiley. When was the last time you put your game to the test? Or do you have one? Hiding behind your words is one way to deal with your own inadequacies. Even if we mixed all these fragrances, we would not come close to the horrific odor this article eminates [sic]. A good label for the bottled crap your opinions manifest to would be Smiley #8. One squirt and you are sure to score no less than a "snow man" in any capacity of life you persue [sic]. I will concede to the originality of the origin of this article. Other than that, you seem to fall into the catagory [sic] of "Never even could have been" as a writer and competitor.
And there it ended. No doubt he was heading to amazon to pre-order my book.

If I were you, I wouldn't be waiting for a Christmas card.
Man, what'll you do for an encore?
Wow, I wish I could have fans like you...
maybe the guy was just a fan of the new Monty or Walrus fragrances.
come on - that was a funny article !
I've been wondering about that Annika fragrance myself. How DO you get women to wear gym sweat and fairway grass ? (j/k - I know she's 100% class and it will smell great - but come on..."essence of Annika" ?? obviously, marketers start with the premise of "you can talk women into buying just about anything if you put a famous face on it and use the word essence")
maybe it's just tough...love?
