I narced pretty good during my advanced open water certification...I get that same sense of euphoria when officiating and twice I swear I saw a turtle swim by during the game. I have only seen sharks or the sideline though - usually circling on either side of the scorer's table.

That turtle event must have been during a half-court set.....they just don't come out for fastbreaks.

I was diving once and thought I saw a guy in a suit/tie with a clipboard decending past me wearing concrete fins. I didn't think Apollo made their biofin in that material, DUI made drysuits resembling a sport suit, and there were dive slates that big with rectangles and cirlcles predrawn on them. I thought I had to be narc'd. When I surfaced, there were a bunch of guys in stripes standing on the pier. Didn't think anything of it at the time....now you make me wonder.

I have known people do do this along with shoe polish to add to a shine. I have also seen people use baby oil as well. I even used a little baby oil with one of those shining pads and it works. What ever works I guess.

Peace

I find this post perfectly suited to a thread entitled "Vaseline on shoes?"

Surely I'm allowed one tangent out of every 1000 posts.

And an impressive, (to me) unintelligible tangent it was!

I just tried a new technique for myself last week.

I bought a pair of Air Max 2009's and wanted an easy way to polish them. So I went to the auto parts store and bought a tube of Armor All Protectant wipes. They work like a charm. I take a rag to them after every game to wipe off any dust or debris. It looks great and seems like the tube may last the entire year (given that they don't dry out).

I thought about the vaseline rout but it just seems that it would never dry up or come off.
