A photographer for the Daily Mail got an amazing picture at the Ryder Cup of Tiger Woods flubbing a shot headed directly at the camera. He didn't duck and Tiger's golf ball actually hit the lens - but not before the image was captured midflight. The photo has been seen around the world.
But that's not what's captivating the Web. It's the amazingly unique look of the fan standing just to the right of Tiger's shoulder, chomping on a cigar, wearing a turban-like brown hat, and sporting a thick, Groucho Marx-style mustache. The spectator just steals the show. And just like that, the "Cigar Guy" Internet star was born. The mystery man has been inserted in pictures and shared around the Web. Yahoo! searches for the mustachioed golf fan twirled up 675% in just one day. Searches were also popular on "Cigar Guy," "cigar guy ryder cup," and "cigar guy tiger woods."
It's the shot that launched a photo-editing frenzy: One image is of the now famous Tiger Woods photo, except everyone, including Tiger, has been turned into the Cigar Guy. Check it out here. There's the Cigar Guy on a Beatles album cover. And the Cigar Guy taking out Sonny Liston.
While the original picture is incredible, it may be even more memorable for taking on a life of its own. A photographic hole-in-one. Geez Louise, what a crazy world. I love it.
Oh sweetie...I love the 'cigar guy,' you find the some awesome videos.
ReplyDeleteI left you an e-mail about 7:40 PM my time.
I looked for your video around nine and didn't see it. I better go look now. Maybe some kind of delay...right back.
ReplyDeleteSorry sweetie, still no email. Maybe it didn't send.
ReplyDeleteHi Cutie
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant I looked for your email.
ReplyDeletelet me check
ReplyDeleteWatching the mentalist.Its a good show but it's a littlr sci-fi. No one can do what that guy does.
ReplyDeleteCheck now ...it should be there
ReplyDelete[giggles] I sent it to myself.
INCOMING MAIL
ReplyDeleteRoger
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the Mentalist, it's the best on we don't have much to pick from on the BIG 3 stations.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, Shank was willing to give Leon the benefit of the doubt. Good thing he didn't trust him completely.
ReplyDeleteWhy would S and B run your family down?? what did you ever do to them??
ReplyDeleteI'll write you an email later.
ReplyDeleteDemi is a slut and a fool...They like threesome ..two women and Ashton ..wonder what happens with 2men and one woman...HA !
ReplyDeleteThat's just nasty ,there's nothing wrong with being a cougar,but Demi is pathetic. Men like ladies with high self esteem that is comfortable with their sexuality .[giggles] you know what I mean.
Two men can find enough orifices on one woman to get satisfaction but it would be harder for one guy to satisfy two women.He sure would have to work hard.
ReplyDeleteI am a little sickened by Demi. She is so desperate to keep Ashton that she is allowing him to have threesomes in her bed. He is a lusty young man and she doesn't want him to go behind her back so she lets him bring his sluts home.So he doesn't have to leave her to get some young nookie.
ReplyDeleteWell B messed up the table games ,I asked your opinion on telling Gil to see about his daddy ...you said tell him to go now to his daddy.
ReplyDeleteI call and told Dad he was on his way ...Now as I think about it Shirley never liked me, she liked Betts and when Sis slapped Shirly and NAN caught her running toward my house and beat her head ...I think that's one off the reasons.
You know what? Good riddance to bad rubbish.You don't care what those skanks think or say.They had only one agenda, to get what they could out of that family for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI think now it's better for a younger woman to have an older man,Demi and Ashton is dogs. Why would you want to tell the world about your sex life.
ReplyDeleteI hope Sis is well and I hope aunt Mae is at peace and enjoying Sis's company. Dad must really appreciate Sis. She is being so kind to his sister.
ReplyDeleteDoes aunt Mae want to see her children.I didn't get that impression.She seemed relieved to get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteI meant Sis slapped Betts when she wanted aunt Mae to go home with her.
ReplyDeleteSis said the same as you, forget about them for I'm the winner by far and they all will learn really soon.
That Partner in Reno is hot, Anita said the three of them started out together, the one here is older about 62 I think.
Aunt Mae loves Lenny,Jr. he calls her about 2/3 times a week and went to see her a lot in LA.
ReplyDeleteAunt Mae is very happy and she enjoys Dan/Sally company(my older bro./his wife) Dad is glad she's close and for Sis , she likes to have people around her, she always say one more don't matter.
If you/Brian and Maxy come here she would want you to stay with her instead of me...
I hope that cigar guy is getting some royalties for having his face used so much on the internet.
ReplyDeleteTo hell with all of them. They can't hurt you or your kids or your family. You are Teflon.They bounce off you.
ReplyDeleteAll they can do is grumble and grouse and stick their hands in their pockets and kick dirt.
I would like to be hiding in your purse when you go into that board room and go sit in the CEO'S chair.
ReplyDeleteI have a post in drafts about the Gulf Stream and how far things can travel aroud the world.
ReplyDeleteYou know I jumped on it to talk about climate change.
Would you edit it and add whatever you want to it. I put my 2 cents in every time I can.
I bet he is laughing all the way to the bank...it's a hoot. and with the Beatles now taht was something.
ReplyDeletePost it please.
ReplyDeleteHow is Nana, being a good girl ? tell Nana if she gets mean the weather will turn hot.[giggles]
ReplyDeleteHave Brian given you the nightly jiggle dance and did you get a little pinch.
Okay..I'll post it. No they never want the kind you can get at Wal mart. Nothing is simple with kids.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get Jonny some boy toys?I bet he still loves his bike the most.
ReplyDeleteWell I hear my last child is in the house (Dad) I knew he wasn't going to stay at Sis because my babies told him I cooked the chocolate cake he wanted. He had dinner with Sis/aunt Mae...NAN says the three of them did nothing but fuss...Dad always going to have the last word.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jonny has been out on Halloween night before. Does he want to be a super hero?
ReplyDeleteDoes dad live mostly at your house? If he does, you sure have a lot of kids to take care of, and he is the most spoiled one of the lot.
ReplyDeleteYes we got him some boy toys and we did get some legos but they are the larger ones and we will get some smaller ones when Gilly get bigger, he might put the small ones in his mouth, Yes he likes his bike the best and I got him a polar bear and he sleeps with it. I think he's going to love books too. A lady asked me was it hard to make them read and I told her it was up to them ...but they had to do their homework...I told we read a lot, I told her I just live the funnies in the paper..Hahaha
ReplyDeleteWas the chocolate cake one of mine?
ReplyDeleteBrian likes his sweeties but I don't cook many because I can't handle the flour any more (allergies). The flour gets in the air and if I inhale it, I get sick. Masks help a bit.
Dad stays here most of the time, and he is a brat .
ReplyDeleteJonny wants to be tramp today, don't know what tomorrow.
Sha wants to be the same thing every year, that's a princess...I may just put some pants on Jill and turn her loose, Gilly..Haha I bought a green wig for him , I may dress him as a girl and watch his daddy have a fit.
You ARE the funny papers.
ReplyDeleteThey will love to read because you read them stories from the time they were little. Jonny may take a little while but if the books are geared to what he likes and are stimulating, he will love reading too.I can't believe you have had no problems with that child.
You must be one excellent mama.
Yes , It was the last one you posted. I copies them and he takes out the ones he want. He don't say anything he put them on the frig. he couldn't find the hot bread recipe , so he wrote hot bread and put it on the frig.
ReplyDeleteEmily says walmart has some nice cakes if you don't have time to cook them, try one. You can tell we love walmart.
After the fight and Jonny's daddy brought him over to say he was sorry,we was staying with sis then,about 2/3 days later he was over and asked me could he play with my mean daughters and I told no fighting, if he did I would spank his musty butt and when we moved , he was there every day, they didn't go to the same school, but he's all boy and gets into things as boys do, they fuss/argue but I'm the only one that hits.
ReplyDeleteOPPS, I forgot about Gilly .I really think he adoption us .
Wow, dad is a demanding old bugger. Good thing you don't mind spoiling him. You've made him a happy man. The great thing is he really likes your family and living in the compound.I guess he has spent a lot of time alone in the past few years and now there are relatives all over the place to talk to.
ReplyDeleteSweetie..[giggles] I have never spanked them but they think I will beat the shit out of their musty little asses. I can just look at Gilly and he hauls his fat ass.
ReplyDeleteJonny did adopt you. He told his mama he wanted you to be his parents and he got his wish. Everyone wins. Does his mama still visit?
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be just fine without her.It's possible she wasn't all that affectionate or that good of a mother.Does he let you hug him?
ReplyDeleteI think in their little hearts they know you would never hurt them, even Gilly. You pretend you're going to spank them and they pretend to be scared.
ReplyDeleteI think if Gilly was a big boy like Jonny, I'm sure they would fight some, they are boys.
ReplyDeleteSome kids across the street always wants to fight and when you see all the kids coming from everywhere they are ready to rock and mine is in the bunch.
Kids can come here to play with our kids but they dpn't have to leave to play, it's about 15/16 that go to school with my babies , and when you hit one you got them all you can see them coming from everywhere.
You know what? It sounds like a wonderful life for kids in that compound. It is wonderful that Gil and Dad could adapt to life there so well.It is so different from the life they are used to.
ReplyDeleteAnnie calle dJonny one day last week and talked to him about 10/15 minutes and asks him if he needed anything and he said no .
ReplyDeleteJonny loves to be hugged and was so surprised the first time we all had a jammie party in my bed and watched movies, sweetie that kid is starved for love. Dad bought him some of the books the twins said he would like and the girls read them also.
Well,you are right, all brothers fight,but these two may miss it completely because Jonny has been put in the position of a protector to his baby brother and seven years is a big gap that won't close until they are men.
ReplyDeleteDad/Gil was living in Dad's suite and eating in the restaurants and Gil moved in with me and I cooked and someting Dad would eat with us or I would send him a plate.
ReplyDeleteThat little boy was just waiting for you to come along and love him.I understand why you folks would want to keep everything low key until he was really yours.
ReplyDeleteThen the shit will hit the proverbial fan. Don't get splattered.
I'm going to raise my boys like my family and like Dad's family, we disgree but we would never do anything to hurt each other and Susan learned her lesson about my babies.
ReplyDeleteGil's family on his mama's side is totally different, they are nice people .
Sweetie , you are so right the shit is going to hit the fan.
ReplyDeleteI asked him what was bothing him and he said don't worry your cute little head , I will take care of this once and for all, my dad needs peace and by damn he's going to get it, I'm tired of being the nice guy and they should know not try to push my dad, me it's okay, I'm a big boy but my dad is a old man.
You have good instincts. Especially for child raising. Are you done with the psychologist? Does he fill out a paper for the court?
ReplyDeleteGil loves his daddy and says he pattern his life after him to treat people fair and be honest with them and dad is his hero, a young boy/man to strike out on his own with little education to do the things he did and brought his family along with him and now they wants to shit on him becaause he want to rest before he die .
ReplyDeleteThe psychologist sent the papers in Monday and we will still see him about once a month for a while.
ReplyDeleteChild services will be here Tuesday and we will be on our way.
The doctor says Annie canceled , but he expected it to happen.
Well it's about time to say until next time the old clock is tic-tocking .
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I saw as I learned more about G. He did the impossible as a young man with no education and not a penny to his name; he created an empire and gave his lazy family a free ride on the gravy train and now he just wants to sit back and watch his grandkids grow and as you say, have a bit of peace before he dies. And they carry on like nasty little kids, whining and back-stabbing and pissing on his parade.
ReplyDeleteThey deserve everything Gil throws at them.
My time is very limited when it comes to going out..
ReplyDeleteSweetie , I really enjoy my life now taking care of my family , raising money for my bears and trying to get the word out about Global Warming...
Yes my dear it is very late and we're not getting any younger.I will see you down by that old dream pond in the woods. Maybe if we both picture it in our minds tonight we will actually have the same dream.
ReplyDeleteI will go do your post now. Have a nice rest, see you tomorrow when the owl hoots.....LUV & HUGS PIC
I will be briefed on what he's going to do as soon as he/CC get together and you know I'm going to tell you...Anita says if he stay true to form , they will be lucky to come out with draws and socks.
ReplyDeleteI will dream of our magical pond and know we are both happy with our lives .
ReplyDeleteI will see you at twilight ..don't do nother I wouldn't do , but if you do think of me.
Doodnite ...HUGS & KISSES ..PIC
Kiss the Rock.
You have a great life honey and you are doing some good in the world.Most women would envy you.
ReplyDeleteWe both fit comfortably in our little niches.
