Even in a girl's game?

Other than that, I agree with you. Some, very limited contact is ok.

Now I'm goin' to eMcDonalds to get a virtual eMcMuffin.

In the picture it seems the referee is almost trying to restrain the guy or something, I don't like that.

I'm always up for the nice hand shake or occasional pat on the back or help up from the floor. I don't think I'd do as the picture shows though.

Don't you have to go to the closest bench first to get a chair to stand on so you can do that?

So that's why the missus made you stop working girls' games!

OverAndBack,

You can say "Referee Magazine." We talk about that magazine all the time here or reference an article or two. This place is for officiating, not just talking about what goes on the paid site.

Peace

I am. My guess is that you didn't get a response out of OAB because he didn't know what a Rumpole is.

Question, Juulie: Could a shared appreciation of Rumpole be the primary explanation for why we share political sensibilities? I'm going to ruminate on this one for a while

Maybe. I'm actually not much of Rumpole fan. Believe it or not, the humor is too dry for me. I've read enough to sound literate, but it's a ruse.

I didn't know you and I shared political sensibilities. Nice to know I'm not the only dyed-in-the-wool bleeding-heart-liberal around. It gets kinda loney out here on this particular branch.

Oh, that's what it is.

Virginia is for Lovers.







Not that there's anything wrong with that.





For the record, no, I don't know what Rumpole is, and I won't shy away from references to Referee Magazine anymore. JRutledge, helpful as always.

You must have looked at the actual magzine. There's no way you could tell it is VA from that small photo.
