Popular golf influencer reveals wild story of fan who got her autograph tattooed on his arm

As I sit down to pump out this edition of Friday Screencaps with Canadian wildfire smoke hovering overhead at levels that will remind you of a VFW in the 1980s before smoking bans, I’m left wondering just how far fans are willing to go to show celebrities that they’re maniacs.

Take the story that Paige Spiranac told in her latest YouTube video where she plays nine holes with golf influencer Sara Winter, who once represented Canada at Miss Universe. “I’ve had people get tattoos of my name before,” Paigeviews revealed. “I was at an event and this guy comes up to me and he goes, ‘Uh, just sign my arm. I’m going to go get it tattooed right now.’ I’m like, ‘No, you’re not.’ And I’m like, you’re just going to you’re it’s going to be on you forever for the rest of your life. And he I signed my name on the inner of his arm.”

An hour later, the guy returned with Paige’s autograph tatted to his arm.

True story: Years ago, there was a guy who was known online for getting brand logos tattooed on his head. I believe his name was Billy Gibby. He wanted to get a tattoo of the logo for the website I founded, Busted Coverage, on his head. Billy was famous for selling space on his body as a billboard.

This was during my crazier days on the Internet. Pre-kids. When I say the Internet was the Wild Wild West, I mean it. Those of you who are in your 50s clearly remember it was nuts. Not dudes wearing molded fake breasts and stuff like that, but guys willing to tat logos on their heads for money. And Internet sites willing to pull crazy stunts.

I can’t remember what Billy was charging, but it was something ridiculously low like $50-$75.

At the time, I wasn’t married, but, thankfully, Mrs. Screencaps was in my life. She said I could never live with myself if that logo was on that guy’s head. I told Billy I had to pass.

And she was right. Now, all these years later, I can rest easy knowing that guy doesn’t have a prison tat on his head because of me.

As for Paige, it’s just an autograph. No biggie.

– Lee in Tampa provides the latest example: Watch the “terrifying” ABC World News Today video of the Blue Angels with a low pass over beachgoers in Pensacola and then watch the Twitter video of the ABC Pensacola affiliate’s report. It’s like two completely different events.

ABC report is dour and foreboding. The local affiliate was uplifting and fun.

Then watch the third video below. You can see how much the people enjoyed the low flyover.

ABC is anti-Navy. LOL

Kinsey: The key here is to watch the first two videos, especially where the local news reporter interviews people on the beach. But, first, watch how ABC News portrays the event. Watch what they do to the video of the people being interviewed. Simply disgusting.

– Justin in Sherwood Park, Alberta is back to provide more analysis on his home country: Where to start on the wildfires up here… as you may have noticed, Canada has a bit of boreal forest, so you’d think that we’d have policies in place to mitigate the risk of fires. You’d be wrong, of course, because we stopped doing preventative measures like controlled burns & clearing away of underbrush because (1) the federal government didn’t want tourists to look at controlled burn sites & think Canada was ugly & (2) they cut the budget for fire prevention. Here are some more tidbits:

· During the Jasper fire of 2024, it was found that the federal government (it’s a national park, so they have authority, not the province of Alberta) installed fire hydrants that had a different thread pattern than normal, so when the fire department went to hook up their standard hoses to the hydrants, they wouldn’t fit.

· Bombardier, a Canadian company, produces the CL215/415, the world’s leading water bomber. This airplane has proven to be very effective in suppressing forest fires, & the vast majority of us agree that we should have tons of these things at the ready for fire season. However, the federal & provincial governments would rather send $Billions to Ukraine & other countries for no apparent reason than to do something to stop fires in their own country.

· Finally, there’s the reason behind all these fires. Yes, doubtless that many are sparked by lightning or other naturally occurring things, but a fair number of arsonists have been arrested over the past few years for deliberately starting them. In fact, if you look at some maps that show where a number of fires started, you’ll notice that they’re all really close to logging roads – not in the middle of nowhere. That suggests that someone or something is wanting these fires to happen…

· Why, do you ask, would that be? Well, it’s easier to advance your policies of carbon tax pricing & environmental laws when you can point to a bunch of smoke in the air & say “see, this is why we need to fight climate change! Our world is burning!”. This same thing is happening in California, with Newsom trying to blame everyone other than himself.

– Jack V. says: Lot of the wildfires in Canada are due to the vast amounts of standing dead timber caused by beetle kill.  Lot of debate about the cause of the beetle explosion (lack of moisture, decades of not allowing fires, etc..).  Still lots of dead wood to burn so buckle up for a few more years.

– Travel Ball Hardo Chris B. in Houston chimes in: I don’t know anything about your wildfire smoke other than it ain’t good for ya. We get the Saharan dust, but at least it doesn’t smell and makes sunsets pretty. Consider spending a few extra bucks and buying some better than usual air filters for your house.

– Brad in Cleveland shares just how bad it is out there: We’re getting inundated by the smoke here in Cleveland, as well. Our air quality – and Toledo’s too – is worse than Kampala, Uganda!

If it smelled like a campfire, that would be one thing. This smells like bad pipe tobacco.

Nobody is on the streets. I went to the BMV today, and it was a ghost town. I got a new DL and license tag and was out in 15 minutes!

– Dawgs fan Sam says: Pickleball – my 1 time playing was a work team building event. One play the ball fell mostly between my partner and I. He said he couldn’t get to it, so I started to take a swing. My legs crossed up, and now I’m doing a slow motion (in my brain) fall towards the net. I hit my head on the net pole. Land on my side, with my hand in a fist between the rib cage and hard concrete. So, headache, punched all air out of me, and rib cage felling like I broke a bone or two. That pain lasted for six months. No thanks.

Bowling – I have always seen weekend rates higher than weekday rates. Its just now hey have a computer to do the adjusting automatically. What I don’t like is they are replacing the traditional pin setters with strings/plastic cords attached to the pins. Just evil and you can tell that those lines are impacting how the pins fall. No thanks.

Kinsey: Hold up, real bowling alleys are holding up pins with plastic cords? Can anyone else confirm this? I live in what is considered a bowling hotbed and I’ve never heard of such a thing.

– Jake in Charlottesville, VA checks in: When the inevitable happens, and the purchases they made with highly leveraged debt go bust, remember these moments when the PE Bros come begging for a bailout. I was slightly sympathetic during the mortgage meltdown because the government was forcing some of those banks to give loans to people they shouldn’t have. Not the next time around. These PE bros taking over youth sports, pest control companies, bowling alleys, you name it: they’re doing it to themselves.

– It’s all now making sense for Guy G. in western New York: I knew something was up, when I started getting 2 or more emails a day from Lucky Strike. Don’t know how my professional email address ended up on their email list, but there it is.

– Mark T. in Florida adds perspective on Screencaps Jr.’s friends wanting to turn our pool into Panama Beach 1989: Pool rules apply to everyone. Somebody gets injured or a freak accident happens; Screencaps Jr’s. friends’ parents will have you in court. Gotta take a hardline approach unfortunately; and emphasize this isn’t Fort Lauderdale spring break on steroids. At 12-14; they are old enough to understand the game; part of parenting.

Drop the hammer rules wise; otherwise you’ll have soon to be teen age girls in your pool that you can’t supervise. Parenting is a tough game; but you’ve got to protect the Screencaps empire. Set the rules and expectations and monitor appropriately…….

And that should do it this morning on another action-packed edition. I have to say, for being the slowest sports week of the year, this has been a great week for Screencaps. It felt like a vintage week. We had the pool situation, then the smoke and now here we are with Maine providing us with comic relief.

That’s a great week. I hope all of you have a great weekend doing, well, not much other than enjoying life. Take care.
