Canadian collected thousands of golf balls in the house

Published

on

Barry Grosse always had the best dimples.

Those dimples adorned golf balls the Saskatoon man collected at an obsessive rate: Nearly 40,000, as near as nephew Phil Grosse can figure. The balls were washed, grouped and packed into various parts of his home.

Then, Barry Grosse died a senseless and highly publicized death, struck down at 3 a.m. last Sept. 24 while riding his bike on Eighth Street. Two men have pleaded not guilty to street racing charges in his death.

So deep was Grosse’s connection to the sport, and the spheres, that everybody who attended his funeral received a golf ball inscribed with his name.

One of many lingering questions in the tragedy’s aftermath was what to do with those orphaned balls. After much thought, wife Carol and nephew Phil bounced an estimated 30,000 to the Saskatchewan Golf Association, which promises to make good use of the unpre-cedented donation.

“Anything he found, he kept,” Phil said this week of his uncle, who won the 1973 Saskatchewan amateur championship. “I don’t know how many of them he tripped over in the bush, I don’t know how many he actually dug for in the bush, I don’t know how many balls he fished out of a pond. All I know is he’s got about 40,000 golf balls.”

Phil, wanting to do something nice for his uncle, figured the best gift was a logoed golf ball. And, judging by its honoured place many years later, Barry felt likewise.

All but 8,000 golf balls from Barry’s collection are going to the SGA; the ones staying back were his original logoed ones, many with sentimental value.

250px-Location_of_the_province_Chumbivilcas_in_Cusco.svgDid you ever heard about “Takanakuy”? Did you have wanted the opportunity to straight up your differences with somebody you knew in a fight, enjoin a good food, special dress, dance and booze? Well a lot people call that Saturday night.

Chumbivilcas is a province in the Andes, South Peru, and according to the Peru 2005 Census 77,721 inhabitants, rural communities families with eight and more children are not unusual, one of the poorest regions of the country.

The people in the province are mainly indigenous citizens of Quechua descent.

Takanakuy Festival for beginners

Each December 25th part of the population from Chumbivilcas Province reunite to the Takanakuy “festival”, where participants practice of fighting fellow community members.

Takanakuy Festival at risk - 02The practice started in Santo Tomás, the capital of Chumbivilcas, and has now spread to other villages and cities, the prominent ones being Cuzco and Lima.

The festival consists of dancing and of individuals fighting each other to settle old conflicts or simply to display their manhood.

Those holding the grudges call out their opponents by their first and last name.

Kicking and punching are allowed in the middle of the circle. Biting, hitting those on the ground, or pulling hair is not allowed during the fight, this is a civilized community!

Takanakuy Festival at risk - 01Although the government of Lima has tried to eradicate Takanakuy Festival, the celebration has diffused into urban areas such as Cuzco and Lima.

People of non-indigenous descent are now taking part in this originally indigenous cultural custom, yeah, why not?

Then everybody goes drinking to numb the pain and move on to a new year.

Now serious, tells us, don’t you have a co-worker, neighbor, a church member you have a beef with?

Polish company to brew beer from a Czech models vagina bacteriaPolish brewery company launched a crowdfunding for its attempt to brew beer from a Czech model’s vagina bacteria.

There are large number of bizarre ingredients used in the manufacture of craft beers, but use a formula from a vaginal bacteria stands out in the crowd.

Warsaw-based The Order of Yoni — “Yoni” being a Sanskrit word for “vagina” — is seeking to raise about U$170,000 (£118,000 or 150,000 Euros) with an IndieGoGo campaign for Bottled Instinct, a beer brewed using lactic acid bacteria collected from the vagina of Alexandra Brendlova.

The Order of Yoni says the initial run of beers would include sour ales, lambics, flanders ales and sour stouts. Each bottle of beer will be stamped with Brendlova’s name as well as “the date of the collection of her vaginal swab.” Also it will brew six batches of 16,600 beers each, with funds going towards the ‘brewing process, ingredients and bottles’ decorations’.

The money will also cover the ‘model’s reward’ and a budget for the ‘perks’ offered to investors. However, there is no detail provided as to the breakdown of the costs.

The beers do not, however, feature the taste or odor of a vagina, the brewers say.

The company says their future plans include brewing other types of beers using bacteria harvested from other woman, as well as other products incorporating said bacteria including kefirs and yogurts.

Not as strange as vagina bacteria beer

In 2012 an Oregon brewery, developed a drink that led, among the ingredients, beard strands of his brewmaster. The drink was sold, including in other countries.
