Sorry if it's been asked/answered before...just wanted to be "let in on the joke!"

You're right, there is an "inside joke" to it. It's a Padgett thing, and I'm gonna let him tell it. And if you ask nicely, he'll even ship you a bag of official Padgett-puke to use if you get needy.

It's just a technique I use to unnerve coaches. First, I stare at their pants. You'd be surprised how unnerving this can be. Try it. If they continue to complain, then I puke on their shoes. This usually shuts them up.

If that doesn't work, then I......well, never mind. The Feds might be monitoring this site.
