Where do you officiate that they pay you in change? Seriously, welcome and don't be put off by some of the member's lame attempts at humor - not that I would ever do that.

Listen Skippy Weaselpants. If you are saying that my well reasoned dissertations on the rules of our illustrious game are lame attempts at humor, then you are just itching for a fight. And wearing your good fishnet hose is no excuse for avoiding a fight.

Are you sure you want to pick a fight with Skippy? What's your defense against his high heels?

I umpire baseball and fastpitch softball, meaning I have a breathing apparatus to wear, .

Hey Mr. Acronym - at least spell my name correctly. This is an insult to my family - the royal Weaselpants family of Antarctica.

BTW - my fishnets don't itch, either.

Hi Showbo,

Welcome aboard. What city do you reside in? Four suggestions (if you have not already covered them).

1. Identify an experienced official in your area who can help you get off to a good start.
2. Participate in a rules study class.
3. Become certified in your state.
4. Participate in an officiating camp targeted to beginning officials.
