I always work the LEST tournament here, and I love doing it! Where are you at?

Gotta like those really well informed fans. As my pappy always said, at least the coach and the scorer were married and keeping it all in one family instead of corrupting 2 . Sounds like an annoying game, but there's not much to do as a clock operator.

Except to use the scorer's cell phone to call her boyfriend and complain about that last foul the refs called.

At least, I hope my sainted grandmother has better things to do in heaven than worry about my prepositions at the ends of sentences...

Well, seeing that you're 50 now and officially Over The Hill, you won't have to worry about propositions at the ends of sentences either.

Bad Woddy. Bad, bad Woddy.

Well, I had a game a couple of years ago that felt like a sentence of some kind, and afterward the coach did ask me out (he was definitely very weird.). But you're right that hasn't happened since I got my AARP card... it's nice to have one less thing to worry about.

Hopefully only from the female coaches.

You actually spent time worrying about coaches asking you out?

I wish the grammar rules committee would address that one. I end sentences with prepositions frequently and when I try to re-structure them to fit the grammatical rules, they are less understandable. I wonder what world those rule makers were living in. AAAAAHHH!

Actually, I think you mean, "In what world were those rule makers living?"
