I don't wear any shoes with cleats; just in case the big eaters get into my legs. It has helped a couple of times where I could just lean on the pile and go down with it.

Egg shooter logistical problem

I wish we had a picture because I'm having trouble envisioning a device that shoots the Snickers Egg from the Umpire's belt to his mouth. Since the belt cannot be seen from the Umpire's mouth by line-of-sight, does the shooter extend out far enough to establish a direct path or does it use the Umpire's stomach's gravitational pull to provide an orbital path to the mouth?

Also, has a Snickers patch been considered or would the lack of caramel in the Umpire's mouth make foul reporting too articulate?

Uses a curved arm piece that is custom made for size....

Say, could this be the reason the NFL guys have started using hand signals????

REPLY: Jim...I think maybe the time has come to add some new features to the Snickers Shooter. How about a GPS receiver so that when the umpire re-spots the ball after an incomplete pass, a female voice with a sultry British accent says, "Other hash, dummy."

I never throw one of my pages away. I even have all the "JoePa 12 Days of Christmas" pages..... Anybody remember the response to the guy from the group that wanted to make the game of football perfect by eliminating he refs in favor of replay?
