Are we really trying to have a competition for who is more unfunny/offensive?

For the record, I don't find Mark's comment offensive. Neither is it funny, IMHO. I can say the same exact thing about many posts by other members.

I let it drop.

I broke the little loop back in the day and could not keep it off the floor for that half. Now I use only a lanyard for that reason.

Peace

Been there. Done that. I tried the "Smitty" when it first came out. It lasted a very short time. The only way you'll get me to give up my noose lanyard is when you pry it from my cold, dead neck.

I don't either, just a sarcastic reference to comment from a Forum member, in another thread, that my posts were offensive, and another opportunity for me to yank Mark Padgett's "lanyard".

Why don't you drop it and realize that your off-topic posts are not really enjoyed by anyone but you?

Started officiating in "The Ancient Times" and used what would know be called a "traditional" lanyard. When the Smitty came out I started using that. I still have Smitty's in my whistle bag. I also have the "noose" type and the "choker" type that has that break away snap. I prefer the "chocker" followed by the Smitty. I never did like the "noose" type.

Because you figured that it would give your partners ideas?

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

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.

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.

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