Well boys and girls it finally happened.  You have to keep in mind that Joe and I have been out golfing this year, A LOT!  Neither of us has golfed in at least 8 years or so, except for the obligatory couple of times a year for conventions or some-such-thing.  Well after palying way too much Tiger Woods Golf on the Wii all winter long, we decided to have a try at the real deal this year.  We started out with a day that went from nice, cool and sunny, to a little wind and misty rain all the way to playing in almost a damned blizzard.  But we prevailed and have been out almost 100 times this year (and our season here is only about 5 months or a little more).  So that ain't half bad, although we still are.  We shoot about the same scores all the time.  Not much better, not much worse, but again, it is our first year in many years so it is OK.

On to the story.  We had just arrived atop the 5th hole which is a 284 yrd par 4.  The elevation drops from the tee box to the green by atleast 70 or 80 feet.  The green is protected by a line of trees to the west and a big old clump of clovery hell to the east.  And the approach is protected by two little training bra type humps.  A heckuva green to hit in to.  Most play it short and safe, but not us.  We are too dumb and brazen for that.

We are standing there, like we have 99 times in the past and down below are 4 old people.  Joe's comment was, "Can't they move any faster?  God, I've seen them move faster to get up to the buffett line."  Anyhow, it was going to be a while before we were going to hit.  These two guys come up behind us that had been playing and stopped short of the tee box.  I said that it was going to be a while as the dynamic 4-some of oldsters sped their way down the course, so we may as well join up and all play together so these two guys behind us did not have to wait.  They agreed and we stood there talking.  The one kid was from Billings, MT, about two hours away.  The other guy, an older guy was from here.  They did not know each other before the day, and we had never seen either of them.

Glancing down the slope to see where the oldsters were, and more to make sure that none of them had died on the way down, I saw they were on the green.  Well Joe had tee'd up his ball but was waiting to hit.  The kid from Billings said, "Pretty optimistic.  Thinking you are going to hit them on your drive."  I said that both Joe and I (More Joe than I) had been on the green a time or two and it is do-able.  "OK" the kid said.  Well finally Ethel, Prudence, Harlis and Jedadiah (I'm just guessing, but the names seem to fit) made their way off the green.  Joe was taking some practice swings and said, "I wonder if anybody has ever hit a hole-in-one on this hole?"  I said that would be pretty damn good considering the placement of the green and all and that if anyone did they should go on tour.  By now, you smart reader you, you have figured out what happened but I'm going to tell you anyway.

Joe hauls off and hits the sucker long and to the left, towards the trees and shit.  It starts to draw back in and I saw it hit the green and then lost it behind the trees.  Jokingly in a Bill Murray voice I say, "It's in the hole!"  He says yeah, right, it came in to fast and probably bounced off.  I hit next, and we won't talk about that.  Then the kid.  He proceeds to loose 3 balls.  Then the older guy kind of shanks one off to the junk on the right.  We all finally get to the green and there is no ball to be seen (hey that rhymes).  There is a crater like divit where Joe's ball hit, but no ball.  I say, "Dude, I bet its in the hole."  He said no way.  I walk past the hole, well away from it since I was not going to look first and walked up to where it could have gone.  I hear him (Joe) yell from behind me.  I won't publish here what he said but it was along the lines of, "Oh gee and shucky-darn, look!  My ball has found it's way into the hole."  It was not quite like that, but in case any young readers hit this blog we will pretend that is what he said.

So not only did he ponder on about hitting a goddamned hole-in-one, then he hauls off and does it with two other witnesses there to attest to the fact.  Wow!  It was increadible and very, very cool to see.  Now he gets his name on a deal at the course and his head may swell up to the size of a Zepplin, but that is OK, he has earned that.  So, congrats to you Joe Mallo for hitting a hole-in-one on a par 4.  I guess all the booze for guys night is on you tonight.  It's about friggin' time!

 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#  UPDATE *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

I know you won't believe this, and that is understandable since it is nuts, but another guy by the name of John Miller hit a hole-in-one on the exact same hole on the same day about an hour and a half after we were there and Mr. Mallo hit his (so now I guess you could say they are hole-in-one buddies!).  If anyone reading this is a statistical genius, please let me know what the chances of that might be!  An article about it can be found here: http://www.sheridanmedia.com/site/local_sports.html 

It says:

RESIDENTS’ ACCOMPLISHMENT - History was made at Kendrick Golf Course yesterday afternoon, with two players getting a hole-in-one on the same hole within an hour of one another.  First, Joe Mallo hit a hole-in-one on the par four 5th hole around 12:30, and John Miller went through and hit his hole-in-one on the 5th hole at 1:30.  Kendrick Golf Course Professional Brian James says having two players get a hole-in-one on the same hole in the same day is very unusual, and a first at Kendrick Golf Course.

It also made the local rag today.  So again, congrats to "Joe the Golf Pro".  To all you golfers out there, you should buy the only t-shirt on the web endorsed by "Joe the Golf Pro".  The Out Of This World Outfitters Lunar Golf T-shirt can be purchased here: http://www.outofthisworldoutfitters.com/ordertshirts.asp Buy yours today so you to can hit a hole-in-one on a par 4! (no actual guarantee that you will hit a hole-in-one on a par 4, past performance is not inditive of future results.)

Wow, what a busy summer it has been.  No updates in a while but now that I have 5 minutes I have a dandy what with all the "stuff and things" going on in the world.  First off we have the Montauk Monster.  Is it a turtle, a raccoon, a fighting dog, a photoshop image, or is it a monster?  I guess only time will tell.  One thing is for certain it is ever-lovin'-flippin'-ugly!  All purple and decomposed and just plain icky.  It washed up on the beach after only God knows how long in the water.  Ugh!  What was it doing in the water in the first place?  Is that where this creature lives or was it just the victim of a Mantauk Monster Mob Hit?

Speaking of water, they found water on Mars!  Well hell, a bunch of people who use to think that Richard Hoagland was a whacko now have egg on their faces huh?  Next thing you know they will be showing us pictures of the face again and saying, "Wow, it's a face!  Who knew?"  I digress.  Anyway, water on Mars is big news.  They send this lander up there and people are all ticked off that we have starving people on Earth but spend um-teen millions sending robots to Mars to look for water.  Why oh why do we do things like this.  Just like George Leigh Mallory said about Mount Everest, "Because it's there".  End of story.  We have the brains and the dough to do it so more power to 'em.  Go NASA!

So they send this thing up there and it lands and does some stuff.  Not that it was not without it problems though.  Kind of like packing a bunch of stuff in an old Chevette and driving across the country non-stop, the Mars Phoenix Lander was a little stiff when it got there.  It had a problem extending its arm.  My legs get like that after several hours in the car, I can imagine I'd have some troubles extending anything after going from here to Mars. 

It finally gets its arm out and starts to dig a little bit in the cold, hard soil in an area they came to call the "snow white trench".  You really do have to wonder about some of the folks involved in this process don't you.  A bunch of true rocket scientist sitting around trying to come up with clever names for stuff and with a dry sense of humor someone blabs that one out.  Good job Poindexter, we'll go with that.  It's a hoot. 

Then the eazy-bake-oven that they put on this thing could not get the clumps of Martian soil to fall through the screen in order to cook the samples with the 15 watt bulb.  What a mess.  But finally after all was said and done the son-of-a-gun worked and it detected water.  Hooray!  That is big news and I hope it speeds along the ability to get folks up there in my lifetime.  Hell, I wanna go hunting and mountain climbing and sand surfing there for cripes sake, lets get a move on.

So, to link it all up, icky monster-type-thing washes up in water and they discover water on Mars.  Very watery update if I do say so.  As always though, there are two sides to every story and there is always more to these things than meet the eye.  What they don't want you to know in either of these stories is that they are more closely related than you may think.  The government is always behind these things, and there is always a cover up going on that it takes a trained eye like mine to find. 

Through a helluva lot of effort, and by having my "methods" I was able to actually pickup and download the streaming video of the Phoenix lander prior to them (you know, the DOD and those folks who have been watching.  "HI DOD, HOW ARE YA?") sanitizing the photos for your protection.  You will be amazed by what I found.  I offer you now the proof below.  Prepare yourselves, this is pretty amazing stuff.  It may blow your mind.  The following images are actual photos from the Phoenix Mars Lander camera of the Snow White Trench.

Before the initial deep dig:

 

 

 

 

And the photo of the Snow White Trench after the deep dig:

 

 

 

OMG!!!!!  Two things are for certain: 1.) These things love the water; and 2.) Germans love David Hasselhoff

Send me an email (aaron@outofthisworldoutfitters.com) and let me know what you think, it may even win you a hat, certificate or shirt.  You never know, and I love hearing from my "peeps".  Can I get a what, what?!?!

OK, now that the title gotchyer attention (Yeah, big "DOD-er", pronounced "daughter", I know, funny guy) here is the latest wild pickle I have found myself in. I recently, along with the help of my brother Kevin, put up the "definitive proof" photo blog posting of the anomalous image sent back recently from the Mars Phoenix Lander (see posting two down from here). It was all done in good humor, again, funny guys. Well the fun turned out to not be so much funny "ha-ha" as it has funny "friggin-weird".

Let me pause here and ask you to please keep in mind that I am not a whacko and/or a nut jobber. I am a white-collar businessman with a family, a great job and a very formal and expensive education. Not your typical conspiracy nut case that roams the libraries and microfiche vaults (yeah, I know they don't still use it, jeeze) during the day, and comes up with magical bullet theories at night. Nope, work all day to put food on the table, play a little golf, do a little fishing, hang with the fam, and then come up with weird-creative stuff in my spare time. That said, I think maybe I am going nuts.

Stick with me through this, I know it may be long but it will be worth the read.  Originally we put up this intergalactice outfitting web site as just a fun and creative way to make some extra dough.  We know the difference between fantasy and reality.  It was just for fun and kicks, nothing more.  Well, I recently sent an email out to the fine folks at coast to coast am (www.coasttocoastam.com) in yet another shameless attempt to get them to link up to our web site.  The squeeky wheel as it were.  The email poked fun at the recent internet debacle over the Mars Phoenix Lander photo that showed the anomalous white "pole structure" in an otherwise dark Martian North Pole background (again, see blog post two below).  We made it out to be the "Mars North Pole" complete with the little alien guy in a Grinch type costume.  Again, funny guys.  Yeah, not so funny.

 I posted the blog on Friday May 30th at around 4:20pm.  I sent the emails off to the coast to coast am folks between 4:32 and 4"38pm on the same day.  The emails read as follows:

"Please get this up on the coast to coast am site as soon as possible if you can.  It is definitive proof of what that weird anomalous image is from the recent Mars Phoenix Lander photo.  You know the one, the white object against the dark background that has stirred all the controversy.  Here is a link to the blog that has the definitive enlargement of what the image truely is.

COO-OOTWO

www.ootwo.com "

Now, please keep in mind that I sent the DIRECT link to the coast to coast am folks ONLY!!!  When someone goes to this blog, it shows up in our tracking system as www.ootwo.com/blog and that is it, nothing more.  These hits that I have recently recorded are going straight to the specific link address.  They are not searching for it, not coming in from another address that has the link posted on it, they are going to the specific address.  Big deal you say, it is the coast to coast am folks.  WRONG-O, BUCK-O.  Prior to this blog, this specific address was not just common old internet fare.  You would have had to have KNOWN it to get to it.  It is not at all probable that they just randomly typed int the address.  So, I propose that someone is monitoring all the incoming email to the coast to coast am site, or all of my outgoing mail.  Hummm ...... Since I'm new to the "crazy nuts-o world" of conspiracy, and coast to coast has been around for a long time, I'm going to wager on it's their mail being monitored (up until the time I posted this of course. Winky-Winky big DOD-er ). 

ANYWAY, point being that recently the DOD, yes the "Departement of Defense" (i.e. the title, see, I tied it all together in a neat little bundle for you, dear reader)  has been hiting this site DIRECTLY.  I traced the IP address, and look-ie-loo what I found:

 

Yes, that is correct, Dulles, VA.  Right there in the Mecca of Governmental entity country.  Langely, DOD, NSA, CIA, FBI.  I'm hungry for some alphabet soup all of the sudden.  Vegetable though, not that crap chicken stuff.  Sorry.  Anyway, here is the actual page showing the hit from our statistics counter that displays the DOD:

They were on from 12:34 am until 12:45 am.  Obviously they have good taste and know impeccable writing and digital photo artistry when they see it.  This sounds nuts I know, but follow this reasoning for my upcoming claim.  I sent the email of the SPECIFIC link only to the coast to coast am people listed on their website.  No one else has (or at that time had) the direct link and it was not searchable.  I know, I tried and when it suggested "the" site, it showed on the statistics counter that the search was preformed.

In the email I specifically stated that our image is " ... definitive proof of what that weird anomalous image is from the recent Mars Phoenix Lander photo."  Then I provided the direct link to the blog showing the "definitive proof" which as we all know was just a goof, but THEY did not know that when they were snooping for it.

Later the Naval Network Information Center (NNIC, google it) hit the link directly.  Is this proof that the DOD is monitoring the email that is sent to coast to coast am, looking for whackos to put on their "watch-list"?  I don't know.  But I sent the email out Friday May 30th and they looked it up on Monday June 2nd.  I think it may stand to reason that it would take them at least 3 days to snoop and scour all of the incoming email that coast to coast am receives to try and discern what is worthy (or in their terms, "OF INTEREST") of looking at and what is not.  I may sound like the type of whacko that they should be looking for, and with this blog I feel like one.  But there are just too many coincidences up to this point and it certainly makes the scale tip in the favor of conspiracy.

Regardless of what you think, let me know your thoughts on this.  I went public with this so if I turn up missing (which by the way, if you "turn up", how the hell can you be missing) you all will know that I am not nuts, and that they "got" to me.  Wish me luck and know that by reading this, THEY may be watching.  My big DOD-er is now your big DOD-er.  What a happy family we all are.

Feel free to email me your thoughts at aaron@outofthisworldoutfitters.com

To all who are loyal readers of the ootwo.com site, we have posted the "real" photo of the Phoenix Mission to Mars (SEE POST BELOW). We had e-mailed it to a small group of people to look at before we released it to the public. MMMM .....  Now we have the Department of Defense looking at it. No big deal you say. Yeah Real Big Deal! We only sent it to 7 people who work for the Coast to Coast am (www.coasttocoastam.com) radio show. Now we have people ALL OVER THE WORLD looking at this thing. We have a web site that tracks our web hits.  So when you look at this blog it shows up on the statistics web site.  The interesting thing is that it will show you were on the home page first then the blog.  But these ones go right to this specific blog address. So for you who are reading this before you go to the home page, WELCOME BIG BROTER, READ ON. More defenitive proof to follow from Aaron.

As you all know, that is if you pay any attention at all to space-ish type news, the Mars Phoenix Lander touched down at the North Pole of Mars on 5/25/08.  Pretty neat.  The mission was aimed at the North Pole of Mars in order to see if there is frozen liquid water below the dirty surface and if so, could it sustain human visitors, but bigger yet, are there any organisms frozen in the ice from years past. 

Again, if you pay any attention at all to things like this, which you must if you are reading this, then you also know that a few of the photos that have been sent back to Earth from the Phoenix Lander have stirred a bit of conspiracy and controversy.  Well that is why I am here.  Thorough the marvels of the space program, the "internet's", and the ability to enlarge images brazillions of times, I am the only one I know of that can prove what the recent anomalous object seen in a recent Phoenix photo is.

This image has stirred a lot of debate amongst scientists and skeptics alike.  I am here to settle that debate once and for all.  What I am presenting to you has never before been shown, so you may want to sit down, take a deep breath and get ready for what you are about to see.  Please keep in mind that the crack team over at Out Of This World Outfitters (www.ootwo.com) spent painstaking hours upon hours of data crunching and image analysis way into the wee-morning to bring you this rare enlargement of the anomolous Mars Phoenix Lander image.  So let's all give a round of applause to Kevin Linden for his fine work on what you are about to see (www.lindenwebdesign.com).

Yes, that is correct, it is the Martian North Pole!!  Duh, what the hell else did you think it could be.  It's Mars ..... It's the North Pole ..... Call off the search for life frozen in the ice.  It is there, above the surface!

Let's hear what you have to say, respond to the blog and maybe, just maybe you could win a shirt or hat or some other Out Of This World Outfitters stuff.

Trespassing on the Moon and other celestial bodies  

 Well, where do I even begin with this blog entry ?????  I guess the best place would be from the beginning.  About a week and a half ago I had emailed off a link exchange request to a company who purports to have sold the most lunar property and other planetary property in the universe.  Well I received a response in the way of a voice mail on my private cell phone on Tuesday.  It was not until today that I was able to get back with the gentleman.  He claimed to be one of the personal assistants to the head cheese of the corporation.  We spoke briefly about how much traffic our website receives at this point and what we thought we may be able to do for each other.  

It was determined by this assistant that it did not sound as though they were willing at this point to allow us to do a link exchange due to the fact it would not benefit them as much as it would us here at www.ootwo.com.  Then the personal representative stated that their main concern at this point is that we are in some ways directly competing with and in violation of the operations of this lunar property seller.  I stated that we have taken great measures to ensure that we were not in competition, as they were not outfitting on the extraplanetary bodies, they just claim to own them in order to sell them.   

Here is where the conversation took an extremely bizarre twist.  I was told that the activities, which we purported to have rights to, would violate this moon land companies right due to the fact that we would be trespassing.  Either on land they have sold, or on land that the head wacko claims is individually his!  I said, “You have got to be kidding right?  No one owns anything.  No one owns the moon, or Mars.  If they did neither of our certificates or deeds would have the words, ‘Novelty’ on them.”  Unless I am mistaken, no one in person has gone to Mars or Europa ever.  Not to mention it has been what, almost 4 decades since anyone has been to the moon!?!?!  

I was met with silence from the other end of the phone line, until ……..  An outraged voice came back and stated in a very matter of fact tone that it has been well documented and proven that this corporation and the head guy “own” the moon and all other planets.  “You’re nuts.” It was the only thing I could come up with.  A somewhat civilized argument then ensued over the fact that I did not think anyone could own any planet, and I was countered with how they “do”.   

Let’s keep in mind that I deal with the public on a daily basis in business and personal endeavors.  I have had some very odd conversations, but this one by far took the biggest piece of the bizarre cake EVER!  I am being told that I would be trespassing on the moon!  ON THE MOON!  Like they full on believe that it is theirs and anyone, I repeat, anyone else who sets foot on it, unless they own a “deed” that states right there in “blue and white”, “Novelty”.   

For those of you out there who do not understand the definition of novelty, here is what dictionary.com has to say: “an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory: a store catering to tourists who loaded up with souvenir pennants and other novelties.”  Clear enough?  It is meaningless.  How in the hell can you trespass on something that no one owns?   The bigger question is how can you be so far out there (literally and figuratively) that you fully believe that you own the moon.  Are there not a whole lot of people in soft white cotton gowns somewhere out in the country in a big stone building with court yards, flower gardens and all types of assortments of daily meds who are locked up for believing this type of thing?    

I fully know what we do and what we are selling on this web site are for fun.  It is something to hang on your wall or wear around town in order to start a conversation and just have fun.  We do not nor will we ever in my lifetime say definitively that we will take you fishing on Europa, climbing on Mars or anything else, or golfing on the moon.  It is a fun idea full of fantasy and gives someone a unique gift to give that extreme sports enthusiast in his or her life.  “Hey, dad loves golf and he already has everything.  For his birthday let’s get him a Lunar Golf certificate to hang in his den.”  That is what we do, not tell people that it is theirs now and that they own it and that they will have it when we go there.  

I hope someday all of the things we have put up on this site are real.  I wish I could see them take place and be the one to take people there.  We live in the best country in the world and we, if anyone could make it happen, but not any day soon.  Golfing on the moon and sandsurfing on Mars, sign me up if we could, I’d be there in a heartbeat.  But we can’t and I am not telling anyone we will.   

So all of you people over there at your fancy lunar property sales company claiming to “own” the moon/Mars/and other planets, let me say this to you …………  

Take your trespassing claims and claims of competition and violation and cram them up Uranus !!!!!!!
