A parent with a good memory
 

Yesterday, I went into a local place to get a burger and while I was waiting, this woman comes up to me and says, "You're that ref, aren't you?" As you might imagine, this happens about a million times here in my town, so I said, "Yeah." She then proceeded to ask me about something that happened in her daughter's 6th grade rec game three years ago! Apparently, I tossed her kid's coach. She wanted to know if I remembered why I did that. I told her I've tossed so many coaches, I can't really remember them all. She said, "Well, he threw his clipboard at the scorer. Do you remember now?" Actually, I did remember that, and I told her so. She said that after the game, the coach told the parents he thought he should have just gotten a warning and that I "overracted". She wanted me to know she and a few of the other parents told the coach he was out of line and deserved the ejection.

I told her the scorer was a HS kid who actually got hurt from the incident, and that the coach was lucky the kid didn't sue him. In fact, I had that coach suspended "for life" from our local kids rec league. The mom said she was glad the league did that because "that coach was a real a--hole".

I then quickly proceeded to finish my burger and leave.

Rare? :D

No, well done, just like my officiating. ;)

Up On My Soapbox Again, Can Somebody Please Help Me Down ???
 

Rare refers to the frequency of overtime games that Mark Padgett works.

Ha !

No, in that case, the analogy would be uncooked. ;)

Suspended for life is a contradiction of terms...........banned for life, since we deal in semantics here

Finely chopped or ground raw beef or horse meat ...
 

Like steak tartare?

Anyone know the proper mechanic for double-posting? ;)

Double Post ???
 

I've almost done it a few times by accident, and I was prevented from doing it by the Forum software. How was it done?

Same as a reach in:D

His posts are different. One has a period; one doesn't.

I noticed by the little chevrons beside fullor's name in your post, that you merely copy and pasted the post you quoted. You didn't even take the time to use the new multi-quote feature! ;)

That's how the forum prevents it, Billy. And to circumvent the feature, it appears that changing just one character is sufficient to post again.

No, he was suspended, upside down by his ankles. He's now known at "Joe The Pinata" and is a big hit (pun intended) at kid's birthday parties. :eek:

And you call me a g33k!

Somebody once told me, "takes one to know one." :D

Seven Weeks, Not A Single Image ...
 

So that means that if I "fall off the wagon", and start posting images again, I can actually post the same image several times by just adding a different keyboard character each time. Sounds tempting. I have to give this some thought.

But you're doing so well! It's gotta be 2-3 months by now.
