Hey, you eat some Slim-Jims before a game and see/hear what comes out. Those things are pretty artificial in my book... :eek:

Funny you mention that. My supervisors grandaughters Girl Scout cookies came in yesterday. So at work, I eat 1 of the 2 boxes of those new sugar free chocolate chip cookies and take the other one home. Wife says, "Where's the other box? I say loooong gone! Then she shows me the side of the box that apparently is on most sugar free candy; WARNING: May have a laxative effect. Nice...two hours before season opening tip off.....

I just received a reply to thE email I sent to our state Supervisor of Game Officials. In regards to megaphones he stated simply..."THEY ARE NOT LEGAL."

Keep the empty box at the table as an authorized reason for having to leave the bench area quickly. :eek:

And an extra-loud fart isn't???? There had to be some kind of EFFORT to make it THAT loud!!!!! ;)

I don't know about most state associations, but I know Nebraska's has a list of items that are banned as artificial noisemakers at district and state competition. Some of us use that list to determine what we will accept as artificial noisemakers or not during the regular season. New addition to the list this year: latex balloons.
