Exclamation

Brown (read - the UPS driver) just came to my door and dropped off a real surprise. It's an official NASO basketball referee bobblehead doll! I sent in the names of two potential members and that automatically entered me in a drawing for the doll. It's about 8" high, made from wood, is wearing a striped v-neck jersey with an old style lanyard and a Fox 40 Classic whistle. He has brown hair and blue eyes, and boy - does his head bobble. I like to think he's celebrating calling a T.

When the driver arrived, my son was here visiting. He answered the door and took the package. He brought it to me and said, "Dad - it looks like you've won a major award. And I think it's from Italy, since it's marked FRA-GI-LE."

That's another great movie reference for you movie buffs.

BTW - I'm thinking of naming the doll Dave. Any other suggestions?

Seems to me that Woody is a natural. (Ahem)

BTW, you gotta love that leg-lamp pulled out of the box from Italy...

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUDGGGGGGGGE! Except I didn't say 'fudge'". It's the gift that just keeps on giving.

If you named it Howard, and gave it to me, I could give it away for a prize at my camp. I'm assuming Howard's hair USED to be brown!

Talking

All these hair comments reminded me of a joke. What do you get when you take Rogain and Viagra?

You get hair like Don King.

I wanted to keep him on the fireplace mantle, but my wife said that if I do that, the couch will become my best friend.

He's proudly displayed in my home office next to my 3 Stooges poster.

BTW - I decided to name him Earl, after my idol, Earl Strom.

Oh yeah - here's another one. What happens to a coach when he takes Viagra?

He gets taller.

I won the major award, as well. I'm keeping him on my desk at work. I use him like a magic eight ball. I ask him questions and he nods or shakes his head but he's mostly indecisive. He just bobs his head all around.
