Had some idiot tossing M&Ms at me between quarters a couple of years ago. I ignored it. An officer spotted the 3rd flying M&M and removed the offender.

Plain or peanut?

And...did you hear about the blonde who was fired from her job in quality control at the M&M factory? She kept throwing out all the W's.

Some things are consistent enough that NASA could use them to set their clocks.

Gross ... I hate pickles! Might have thrown the guy out just for eating one near me!!

At one school in Houston they used to throw pennies on the floor ... we were always warned not to pick them up because the kids would secretly hold a lighter to them before tossing them out on the court!!

Heard through the grapevine that some guy locally got punched in the face in between City Rec games.

Twenty bucks a game sounds a lot worse when you factor in the "could get punched in the face tonight" possibility.

Charges were pressed.

I had an odd game last night. Boys varsity. Visiting team was a high school for kids who either quit "regular" high school, or were thrown out of a "regular" high school. Home team was just one of our regular, local, although quite small, "regular", public high schools. No junior varsity game. As I walked into the school I noticed two police cars parked in front of the gymnasium entrance. This is a school where one is more likely to see a farm tractor parked in front of the school than a police car. There were two police officers, and a school security officer, in the gym, or vicinity, the entire game. The visiting team, that traveled the entire length of the state to play this non-league game, had ended their season early in 2010-11 due to several fights breaking out during their games. Visiting team had only six players, with eleven arms.

Final score: Home 75, Visitor 25. Visitors were extremely well behaved. Not a single problem.

Wow! Let me guess... Jones in HISD.

You would probably recognize the school where the drive by pickeling happened.

Bob,

What got given away to the fans thrown at us at the Rockford school we worked at? I still remember one of the objects hitting our third in the head (you and I know who that was) and how upset he got, which to me was pretty amusing (only considering who it was/is).

Reports of my flying have been greatly exaggerated.
