Also if you wear a hockey mask, it may cause a few screws in your head to become ridiculously loose which will cause 75% of you internet posts to be on the topic of how great hockey mask are.

I think everyone needs to quit referring to them as "hockey" style masks, or worse yet, as Luke calls them, "hockey masks."

They are baseball umpire helmets. If they were hockey masks you would get a lot of pucks in the eyes due to the lack of bars in front of the eyes.

Get used to the helmet, as it is here to stay.

I thought it would be obvious that only #1 was a serious answer.

Is there some kind of secret "I'm Joking" symbol I should be using for my jesting ?

I cannot say that I have ever, or would ever, verbalize "out" on a swinging strike three.

Your mileage may very.

Regards,

you know i know better than that tim, from reading your exact opinion that you just posted. it was a typo.
im not sure if this is accepted, or right, but i do say 'strike three' or 'three' loud enough for only the catcher to hear.

everyone needs to stop referring to "sport" utility vehicles as "sport" utility vehicles, as they arent really sport-related. come to think of it, i dont do much with utilities in mine either, so scrap that. just call it a vehicle form now on.

i have titanium screws in my upper and lower jaws courtesy of surgery. a HSM is no match for my titanium reinforced jaw.
