He Must Have Accidentally Caught His Lanyard On A Coat Hook Officer ...

I never did like the "noose" type.

Because you figured that it would give your partners ideas?

Awww, it's the Easter season, spring is in the air. Billymac provides content along with jokes, how about a group hug?

The signal-to-noise ratio isn't high enough. But that's fine, I've given up and will put him on the ignore list.

I don't know how the "content" got in there. I'll try not to let it happen again.

I use a Smitty. As far as I'm concerned, no noose is good noose. :rolleyes:

Apologies To Cyndi Lauper ...

Because I enjoy them. If I drop it, then I won't be able to enjoy them.

You got the "really" part right. I know for a fact that a very, very, small number of Forum members do enjoy my posts.

Basketball has always been fun for me. Playing basketball was fun. Coaching basketball used to be fun. Officiating basketball is fun. Posting on a basketball officiating forum is fun. Mostly serious, but still, officiating is a little fun. When officials here in my little corner of Connecticut get together, we have a lot of fun, with, or without, adult beverages.

I won't say to get a sense of humor because different people have a different sense of humor, some people are just a little more serious than others, and some people are just a little sillier than others. There are seven billion of us on this planet, and there's room for a lot of different types of people. Since we're all stuck here, and none of us will leave this planet alive, then we might as well tolerate each other, and try to get along as best as we can.

Prefer singing "Kumbaya" around a campfire in the lane.

I don't remember what I do for volleyball, but I suspect that I let it drop like I do in basketball. I can ask about the presence of primary rules in the proper forum.

I learned a trick quickly about these loops. Take the ring out of an old whistle and put it on the loop. Then the Smitty clips to the ring and it won't wear your loop away.
