PDGA BOD Members Suppress Free Speech In Florida
A Fair and Balanced News Report

Gainesville(AP)---Fair and Balanced News has discovered that two of the policemen seen tasering a University of Florida student Monday were actually members of the Professional Disc Golf Asscociation's (PDGA) board of directors, working undercover suppressing free speech as usual.

"I heard on the internet that some college kid was going to ask embarrassing questions to a public figure and I knew I had to take immediate action," said PDGA director Steve Dodge. "I purchased two first-class tickets to Florida, charged them to my secret PDGA expense account, and landed just in time to do what I do best, kill free speech! I felt this was an excellent opportunity to train our new communications director, Pete 'Pucker' Shive, on how to crush any intelligent debate anywhere."

"It was really fun playing dress-up as a policeman," said Shive. "It was almost as fun as winning the Senior Left-Handed Nearsighted Division Championship at the PDGA Worlds this year against a field of one including myself. I can't tell you the pride I feel in being able to call myself a world champion even though with the PDGA's increasingly weak competitive structure, real athletes laugh in my face at my accomplishment! Everyone's a winner in the PDGA because we just keep creating divisions for everyone...we learned from the Special Olympics that everyone is a winner."

"It's my duty as a communist to destroy the rights of individuals to criticize their public figures," added Dodge. "Parody and satire are the tools of the devil himself. I don't understand what free speech means, so I must crush anyone who tries to use free speech to fix the PDGA or the broken American government. Wait, you're writing this down? Give me that notebook, you criminal!"

"Back up Dodge," admonished Shive. "I've got my taser on him!"

Hard to fathom that we're halfway through September already.

I see ole Ransom is up to the same old tricks again. Well I think it needs to be said that most of us respect and admire Peter Shive. Peter is a world champion and a current member of the BOD. I personlly feel very grateful that Peter is one of the people on the board helping to voice those concerns from the players who voted for him. As for Ransom, my vote would be that he finds something else to do to occupy his time. Because every time I see something from him I can't but help thinking it was most definately wasted....

Man, Peter's a lot younger than I thought... and Steve has nice legs!

BTW - the real offense was showing your boxers. A number of cities have passed laws prohibiting the showing of underwear (a gangster rapper fashion statement). It's good to know that the PDGA is doing their part to keep tasteful clothing in vogue... :)

Is Dodge the one dressed in drag?

Definitely not...

I've heard that some of those top athletes that take hormones have... changes.

Actually, I was there ... the Gainesville AP reporter got it all wrong ... Steve wasn't there. It was Pete and Addie, in fact, politely trying to get the TD of a local B-Tier into a collared shirt before the player's meeting.

Note Addie's nifty PDGA-issued utility belt and Pete's prison tats.

Being a responsible PDGA member did you jump right in, mace him, and help to get the shirt on? Now that would have been pro-active volunteerism!
