running up court

This is a regional thing. 🙂

I prefer the post-game 20 oz Guinness myself, but whatever.

I'm curious too. How do you bend your arm at a 90 degree angle?

At what angle do you have to bend your arm in order to be able to suck that mother back? 135 degrees? 288 degrees?

deecee

90degree angle would be a right angle just to refresh -- that is when 2 lines intersect perpendicular at their end points.

think of madonnas cone bra -- that might not illustrate what i am trying to explain but think of it anyway...

alright -- an L forms a right angle -- weather or not it is right side up or upside down -- so make an L with your arms -- yes, yes go ahead --- umm a bit more -- there you have it. Now pump frantically like Shaq is about to run into you and you are trying to get away. Ok JR maybe I can excuse you from this excercise (sp?).

Um, lines don't have end points, do they? Line segments, maybe? Rays, even.

Ooooo, very nice 20 year old reference. Very hip. Maybe it's hip to be square. 🙂
Oh, how I loved Huey Lewis and the News.

weather or not it is right side up or upside down

Weather or not? I'm pretty sure there's some kind of weather. Juulie's got rain; Mick's probably getting snow soon; and we're due for our first frost any morning now.

Jeez, when does the season start?!?!?!

Actually, this week we''ve got low 70's and sunshine. Not bad for the second week of October! Although, I'll be glad when the clouds finally set in.

But I think DeeCee needs to get into rehab quick for whatever he's smoking. It's gonna really screw up his season if he doesnt.

I don't know if this was bought up before but I could not find an answer.

I know this is wrong because one should always run with 90degree angle no matter what the score is but there is no advantage/disadvantage gained.

I couldn't find any ruling from the NFHS regarding this but it appears that in NCAA-W its 90degree on a fast break but 45degree on normal transition whereas with the mens its 90degree only during inbouds after a timeout that was called before a technical was issued and 45degree all other times.

What do you do and think regarding this and I really hope the FED addresses this soon before we have a social meltdown and if you could back it up with case studies I would appreciate it. :p

Be careful, even if the FED does address it, as soon as it is no longer printed verbatim in the most recent edition of the rule book, what ever ruling the FED provides will no longer be valid. Even in absence of a retraction or superceding rule.

Everybody U.P. there getting ready for the snow, Mick? Putting the wings on their front-end loaders so they can fly?😃

Geeze, and I still haven't put down the fall lawn fertilizer yet.

What ever happened to global warming??

Ah crap and for the last six years I've been doing wrong, running up court with my finger up my A$$. Oh man no wonder they were laughing at me.

I thought that was Woody's job.

No frost yet, Chuck? We've had several. As an aside, I DO try to keep the arms at a 90 degree angle when shoveling snow. My wife usually has one arm extended at a 180 degree angle with her index finger extended.

It's an El Nino year.
Small snows and warm temps.
Good for the Upper Peninsula, but unfortunately Bad for the rest of the globe. 🙁

Nope. In fact, I don't even wear a jacket yet while walking the dog in the morning. A sweatshirt's just about right.

Ooooo. Definite no-no. Pointing with only one finger? She should be using an open palm to indicate direction.

I thought you walked him late at night or is that only in March?

Hey, it could be worse. She could be using a fox40.

Nope. Twice a day. Every day. Rain or shine. Or snow. Owning a dog is the worst. I can't believe I got talked into this. But hey, it's only for 10 more years. 🙁
