I need some game talk!!!

[jsblanton]

I sure am ready for everyone to do some games and post some good stories. (funny and informative) My first of the season is Friday. My shirts and pants are pressed and have been ready to go for two weeks now. I just shined my shoes for the third time in the past two weeks. But I'm not anxious.

Third time? Wow.

I know a guy last year that was so ready to get on the floor. He cleaned his gear bag out and cleaned everything up. The only problem was when we were at the game he found a problem. He forgot to put his whistles back in his bag. Lucky, he was working with me and I have a few spares.

OK Tanner,
Knowing and loving you as we all do.... just exactly what constitutes a few whistles?

A. 1-4 And we all know that one's not it, right M&M!
B. 5-10
C. 11-24
D. They're cheaper by the case anyway.

I've been advised by my lawyer not to answer this question and to protect the innocent.

Oh, alright.... it's C. But in fairness, it's less than 20.

For me, I have 6 in my bag (4 black, 1 blue, 1 pink) and one in a pocket of each jacket. The only reason I know this for sure is that I just took them all out to wash them before the season gets going.

Hmm, I forgot about the pink and blue whistle.

I think I've got about 15 black, 1 pink, and 1 blue. But I haven't counted...and I'm afraid to.

I'm very paranoid about forgetting my whistles. I keep an emergency whistle and smitty in the car. But I hadn't considered one in my jacket pocket. I'll do that.

Not counting the emergency whistle in the car, I have 3 black with pipe tips, a black pearl (for multi-court facilities), one white and one pink. Where does the blue get used?

I keep my whistles in a plastic bowl with a lid, to keep them clean and uncrushed. But I've noticed the last couple of years that the metal clips on my smittys rust. I finally figured that had to be from putting whistles back in the bowl still wet after use. So the next time I buy something with one of those silica gel packets, I'm going to put it in my whistle bowl.
