Juulie - where is it?

Juulie - when are you going to post your annual off topic badminton thread? The season is almost upon us! Just to remind everyone, here's a pic of last years top money winner, Spanky Shuttlecock.

Juulie - while you're helping Mark find things, could you direct him to the local pharmacy?

This is more exciting than badminton, and the trail's primary coverage area is easy to handle:

I could always start an off-topic croquet thread and how many yellow and red cards I give out this year.

I actually officiated a croquet match once - not kidding. It was for charity. All the proceeds went to Lions Club charities. Everyone wore white, including straw "skimmer" hats and they served cucumber sandwiches and lemonade for lunch. It was a blast, er, I mean a hoot (have to keep in character). It took place in a senior's community next to my town and featured a team from the Lions Club and a team from one of the senior retirement villages. It ended in a tie. Gee, I wonder how that happened.

Unlike Mark, who's just plain odd.

Our first match was yesterday and I didn't do too well. I even gave myself a yellow card (so much for my 4 season streak with none) in hopes it would fire me up, but no such luck.

A good croquet official never lets a match go to overtime.

Your IAACO membership is rescinded.

There was no OT. Everyone was way too tired. They all retired to the lounge to watch Lawrence Welk reruns.

Besides, I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the I Am A Crappy Official organization. At least that's what I tell my assignors.
