The two are commonly credited with each other's statements. I can see why you may be confused.

BTW, Mark, please take your medications.

"Cole's Quotables" gives credit to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832). The attributed quote is: "What does not kill me makes me stronger."

The Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) version is from "Thus Spake Zarathusra" and is attributed as "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

Seems Goethe beat him to it. And it is NOT from a chick flick after all!

Thanks, Chuck. I've always suspected Nietzsche of being a plagiarizing punk. He probably cheated on his SATs as well.

What did I do last night?

I work an adult city mens league. Yeah, I know, but I do it 'cause I need experience (dealing with children). We have 4 games with 20 minute halves, running clock except the last two minutes.

Our last game had two of the teams that whine the most, so we were extra prepared. I was lead and had two fella's on the floor with a held ball near the baseline. I blow the whistle and approach, saying "held ball". Clown #1 throws his elbow at Clown #2, so I repeat the whistle blowing thing, but this causes Clown #2 to shove C1 real hard. All while the two of them are on the floor.

There's a general ruckus with one really bright player pushing and shoving. Luckily no punches we saw.

The funny thing was that there was about 20 second left until half time when this started and after we straightened out the mess, a player from both sides complained to me that they wanted to call a time-out before the clock ran out for half time.

Absolute best part is later in the game losing team says to guy guarding dribbler "he can't go to his left". Dribbler says "yeah but your mama does". I paused while that rattled around in my brain (did he really just say that?), then I blew the whistle and he was through.

I do it for experience, didn't say it was good experience.

Well, Barry, think about it. For the die-hard nihilist, WTH? You know?

I used to get "volunteered" to ump when my kids were involved with LL. Small & big diamond, almost all my "assignments" were of the "can you stick around after the game to ump on field 3, we'll give your kid a coupla hot dogs and a coke" variety. My rules knowledge was/is kinda sketchy but I had great presence! Considered doing it for real but I haven't...yet.

Besides that I just love a good bar brawl and those baseball guys really don't care how petty they get as long as they get their shots in!
