The Most Rewarding Flavor In This Man's World ...
I actually switched to Schaefer after my Dad passed away. He was a regular Schaefer drinker, and when I was little, he always used to let me take a sip. After he died, I spotted some Schaefer in my local package store, that's what we call them here in the Land Of Steady Habits (of course, being in the Land of Steady Habits, I didn't spot these six packs on a Sunday). I didn't think that it was sold anymore, not seeing any of those those great Schaefer commercials on television during sporting events for several years, but there those six packs were, sitting on the shelf. They say that your sense of smell connects directly to the memory part of your brain. They're right. Every time I open up, and drink, a cold one, I think fondly of my Dad, especially after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day, and sitting, and relaxing, on the front stoop.

For those from within the range of WGN, and old enough to appreciate it:
Nothing like the memory of sitting around on a hot day listening to Jack Brickhouse and Lloyd Pettit doing play-by-play of Ernie Banks, Don Kessinger, and Billy Williams, etc., with a cold Hamms beer quelling the temps of the good old Sumer-time. The Friendly Confines, indeed! Ah, the day...

If you watch WGN television now in the Chicago area, or on cable, you are probably familiar with their chief meteorologist, Tom Skilling. 40+ years ago, Tom (who was in HS then) and I both worked at the same radio station in the Chicago suburb of Aurora. Believe it or not, he had a flattop then.

I would have given my left nut to have any beer (to include Hamm's) on many a Sumerian summer day. 131 degrees and you're dry because the 30 mph winds make it seem like you're spending your time in a hair dryer.

And this is your biggest pet peeve among your partners? That they use a word that everyone understands but is not what is used in the rule book? I just find this so silly.

I agree with your point, though.

I agree with sentiment expressed by a few in this thread. I don't get bothered in the least about specific mechanics or terminology as long as communication is clear. That's for assignors and supervisors to worry about.
Only thing that bothers me is when people put $#!* in the game or go fishing for things......e.g: calling violations that aren't there, calling fouls on marginal contact that don't affect the play, asking if a sleeve is for medical reasons, calling a T for a pre-game tap of the rim that nobody else in the gym saw. One other thing that bothers me is officials who turn their back to the court during FT administration to talk to coaches. I've seen this recently with some younger guys who are trying to work on being more approachable/communication skills. When a veteran does this it irritates to me. |

The smiley face is so appropriate, since "baseline" in 1-7-3 refers to the bottom border of the painted squareon the backboard and not to the endline on the floor . . .

The horror of using that term in any other way then! How dare anyone!
