(These may not translate well for a non-golfer, but most deal with his standard themes of the frivolous rich and romantic mishaps.) He comes up with great visual nicknames for the golfers, such as "The Man with the Hoe" that are hilarious descriptions in themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-46404890213839024822008-12-10T07:24:00.000-05:002008-12-10T07:24:00.000-05:00run run run to netflix (or, you know, the library,...run run run to netflix (or, you know, the library, or whatever) and pick up the BBC series <I>Jeeves and Wooster</I>. Truly excellent. Hugh Laurie stars as Bertie, and they're (as always with the BBC) really faithful to the spirit of Wodehouse.
