What a great night.

I tried to log in as ref18, but after so many unsuccessful tries, I decided to give up. (His password is not tv60, for example.)

Had a BV double header. 3 T's first game, 1 in the second.

Game #1
The HC, a wanderer, is questioning an OB call by my P (L, opposite), along the endline. I thought it was the right call, but naturally I don't know 100%. I'm T, table side, and start to listen to the HC. He's chripin' pretty loudly and this league is high on sportsmanship. I give him the, "Thank you, coach." He's still going on, then the AC gets into it. I give both the stop sign, and each a "that's enough coach." They're both still barking. WHACK. Total time gone by: about 8 seconds. They're both quiet now.

Later in the game, my P, L in transition, makes a great PC call. I see the player that committed the foul get angry and try to step in there to save him. I jog closer and give him a "walk away son." He ignores me, walks down and stares down my P and gives a two arm gesture (P was reporting the PC). WHACK. I then tell the team captain, who's on the court, to deal with the player, since he's still agitated. I turn around to report the T and hear, from the kid "this is truckin' retarded." (-tr, +f) I don't even blow my whistle. Give the heave-ho signal.

Game #2
Similar sitch, OB call near the (same) endline, I'm T table side again. This time I thought it was close, but P makes the call. Player objects. And keeps on objecting by saying (out loud of course), "these refs are on crack." WHACK.

I should have let my P handle this one though - it was his call. Oh well. I thought I was on a roll.

Have your hands full tonight JugglingReferee?! :)

Sounds like you were on a roll.

And what is it with players saying the refs are on crack? I had that happen to me a couple weeks ago.

How hard could it be to figure out Ref18's password?

Whackinator would be my first try.:D

I'm thinking, "General"

General Whackinator?

Henceforth, ref18 shall be named "General Otis T. Whackinator"!

So it is written! So it is done! :D

This reply is ONLY in reference to JR's post, all those T's, hope you stayed calm or else that index finger is in a splint today.

"How hard could it be to figure out Ref18's password?

That is to funny...

Chris,

My index fingers are calloused from my early years of throwing out T's! :D

Mike

At least they aren't calloused from Moises Alou-ing on your hands.

Hey wait a minute, JR...you're not even one of the moderators, how can you be the one to decide?? See, it's just this kind of "know-it-all", "I'm in charge" attitude that is bothering so many of our younger officials today...did you even pre-game this nickname with any of your partners???Hmmmm??? Well???? I thought not...Juulie is going to be so disappointed with you!

I know there's a story there, but I'm not going to ask for details.

rocky -- I'm not in the least disappointed. Rookie has convinced me of the advantages of back alley conferences, and JR and I kinda quietly worked this all out together. That's just good game management. Too bad you're not big-time enough to be "in". And if you get all huffy and rat, I'm gonna call you a tattletale, you whiner.

signed,
the quisling

Ahhh man...JR left me out again??? I hate it when he does that! I'm telling mick and Tony...


PS: I'd tell Dan, but we all know how those d@mn Yankees fans stick together...

I beg your forgiveness, El Supremo. I will now face to the west and bow down three times to your likeness hanging on my wall. Also, in your honor, I will sacrifice a virgin. Heeheeheehee....

Fair enough?

We only stick together if we get Moises Alou-ed on.

Geeze, how did Chuck get mixed up in this???

So this is what happens when I go off-line for 18 hours ;)

When I came back this afternoon, I tried logging in as REF18 but it didn't work. Then I started reading the forums and figured out I had to long in as "GENERAL OTIS T. WHACKINATOR"

Well, that didn't work either. Then it hit me, the little light on my keyboard that has the capital A over it was on.

I tried to login as ref18 again, and it worked. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/la...smiley-014.gif

BTW, it's been a good 20 games since the last T I had give. I think I'm well overdue http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/wa...smiley-070.gif

ref18,

Have you ever found the any key? :D :D

ROFLMAO!!!

Not yet, but all that searching made me thirsty. I think I'm gonna have a Tab :cool:

Clever!!! Does Tab have sugar in it? If so, will it Shift you into high gear?

Naw, I don't think it has any sugar. To get some sugar in me, I'm having an Apple :p

Well give us a shout when you Return. :D

Considering Ref18 is 18, what exactly does "Whackinator" rerer to ?

Does he give alot of T's or ......AHHH Never mind!!

I had to edit this.

As I went back to the forum main page, two treads down read:

To Whack or not to Whack! LMFAO

Sorry to all I may have offended with this post!

I was wondering how long it was gonna be before someone made mention of the other meaning of the word "whack"

http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/la...smiley-014.gif

Oh, does ref18 give out a lot of "T"s too?

I didn't know that.

20 games without a T! I bet your getting a little antsy. :D

22 Now, and by the end of tomorrow I hope to make it 30 :)
