So Phil Mickelson has a dinosaur head.....

From, http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2009/06...elson_interview

 

Golf Digest: Not to get too personal, but what's with the dinosaur head?

Phil Mickelson: That was my birthday present from Amy. Last June. Of the dinosaurs that have been preserved, the No. 1 is Sue, a very famous one at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. A Tyrannosaurus rex. Her head is like five feet long. The one Amy gave me is from Mongolia [paleontologists say it's possibly a Tarbosaurus bataar].

 

Male or female?

Female, not that I would know by inspecting it or anything. I'm just going by what I was told.

 

What is yours named?

Haven't named it yet. But it's the coolest thing I've ever gotten. My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter [born the day after the 1999 U.S. Open], wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time. Even before we got the dinosaur head. Our kids are really into that stuff, like outer space.

 

What is a dinosaur head worth?

I don't know. It was a birthday present. We've had four or five people bid on it, but it's not for sale. Talk about giving something to the man who has everything. I was really surprised, just like I was when Amy gave me the meteorite. That's from Argentina, a crash from the 1930s, I believe. I got that from Amy last Christmas. It weighs about 300 pounds and is the size of a basketball. I also have a small one that friends gave to me. It's about the size of a softball. There are more meteorites around than dinosaurs.

I guess when you're making $80,000,000 that's the kind of things you get for b-days.

 

Daddy we got you the coolest gift ever!!

 

What is it??

 

It's a DINOSAUR head!!

 

Attaboy lefty....

[dlygrisse]

Very cool gift.......if you can afford it :)

Tiger wipes his a** with meteorite fragments!!! Phil is not even remotely in the same realm as Tiger's wealth. Tiger is going to be a billionaire within the year!!!

I get the feeling that Amy could blow through that without a whole lot of trying. :shok:

[kekoa]

Damn. Relex.

 

Where did I say Phil is wealthier than Tiger?

 

I just said Phil > Tiger. Sorry to strike a nerve. :russian_roulette:

So could my wife....

[Mward2002]

"I get the feeling that Amy could blow through that without a whole lot of trying. "

 

That's probably why Phil married her. Any girl that can do that.. Keeper!

There we go, the tiger and phil battles start. FOR ONCE CANT WE KEEP TIGER OUT OF A PHIL THREAD AND PHIL OUR OF A TIGER THREAD!!!!!!! Have some maturity.

[xtremeinaz]

the sex jokes are just too easy with this one.

[jimbonecrusher]

It is awesome when you have a wife that is willing to go through the effort to get you a truly unique gift. It adds to why that person is special to you. Good for Amy to go out and get such an odd and unique gift like that. I guess it wouldn't do her any good to go out and get Phil a new golf shirt or a cool putter.

[crick99]

She should have picked up a velociraptor skull...much cooler dinosaur.

I do, He's a Tight a**.

[Ronzo]

With apologies to Desmond Dekker and the Aces:

"He wakes up in the morning

Gets out of bed, sir...

And finds a space rock that's as large as his head...

Poor, poor Phil, and his meteorite!"

[howdyho]

Is it really a gift when it was probably purchased with his own money?

[Ronzo]

"Amy! I ate my LUNCH off that meteor!"

[oregongolf]

When I first read the title, I thought to OP was going to make fun of his head size.

 

What a let down. That would've been a great thread.

What does Tiger have to do with the original post?

[frankgpass]

"Amy! I ate my LUNCH off that meteor!"

 

Is this a Joe dirt reference?

Joe Dirt is an awesome movie.

 

"You wanna fight? Why don't you stick your head up my butt and fight for air?"

[SwingLikeElk]

His collection of stuff now rivals Michael Jackson's.

This could go on for hours....but I will resist the urge and stay on topic.

 

He has a meteor that is the "size of a basketball" that weighs 300 lbs!!! crazy!

Someone needs a valium badly

[suspendTigerbashing]

Miley Cyrus' net worth is estimated to be $25-$50 million. That's a lot of money by anyone's standards, but nowhere near a billion dollars.
