'Nuff said.

No, not "'Nuff said." Elaborate.

Kyle Smith, author and columnist for the New York Post, wrote that in depicting humans of the future as "a flabby mass of peabrained idiots who are literally too fat to walk", WALL-E was darker and more cynical than any major Disney cartoon he could recall. He compared the humans in the film to the patrons of Disney World, adding, "I'm also not sure I've ever seen a major corporation spend so much money to issue an insult to its customers."[35] Maura Judkis of U.S. News & World Report questioned whether this depiction of "frighteningly obese humans" would resonate with children, making them more likely to "play outside rather than in front of the computer, to avoid a similar fate".[36] Stanton denied that his intention was to pass comment on obesity, saying the purpose was instead to portray human overdependency.[34]

I get it, it's a fat joke. Except I'm not fat, I'm husky.

I sprint between shots. I play 18 in 45 minutes.

I walk 3 times out of 4, play about 3-4 times a week. Nine during the week, 18 on the weekends.

Are you like me and don't bother asking to play through?

I figure my ball crashing into their skull is all the permission I need to ask.

Understood and agreed. I will at least give them warning that the ball is approaching, unless they are playing unreasonably slow. And unreasonably is defined as "more than 5 minutes to play a hole".

Luckily I usually play early morning or after dinner and there is nobody on the course. I'm proud to say that I've played 18, walking, in under two hours.

Is that fast? I wouldn't know. I don't play elitist sports.

Nothing like a morning of golf followed by an afternoon at the Polo field.
