Why in the world did we rebirth this 3-month old thread with an off-topic post?

Because that's what we do!:D

Insomnia
 

Cause I go through bouts of insomnia.

So, we're your standins for Honest Abe and the beaver? ;)

Good Intentions
 

Yes you are the insomniacs dream come true. My wife even approves of my visiting this site. Well I actually started searching threads for slowpitch stuff. I have my first slowpitch games tonight and don't want to be a complete clown. The Lincoln dude is cool but that beaver well makes me a little uneasy sitting there with those choppers of his.....:eek:

If beaver was the cause of your insomnia, I don't think you would be spending time here :rolleyes:

It may be insomnia - but whattaway to go..................:D

Strike Zone
 

I have been umping for 23 years now, although never had the delight to ump in the USA yet (that all changes end of July) and the one main rule that I have learnt is consistency. Be consistent with the zone and no one coach is going to bait you. As per JV games and the like, yeah sure help the pitchers if it gets to that, I do when i umpire JV games in London, but I always let the coaches know that I am going to help the game!

Just wait til I see the originator of the post this weekend.

"Hey coach, thanks a lot. You know that post about the strike zone from last year? We're still talking about it...and you wonder why folks seem to have a different interpretation of the strike zone."

OK, but how are you going to explain the beavers? http://smilies.vidahost.com/ups/pezhed/beaver.gif

Sheesh
 

I was trying to stay away from the whole beaver thing, well not forever but that morning.

Anyway I help coach a Girls Junior college tennis team. One of our big rivals has a mascot named the Beavers. Somewhere along the line our girls , during their pre-match chant, have been saying "Eat the Beavers." Now the head coach and I seem to be the only ones who are getting it cause the girls apparently are clueless to what the saying means......Or maybe not :p

We tried to think of a way to approach them without getting fired, sued or put in jail. Haven't come up with a way yet so 2-3 times a year we get to hear at a Womens college tennis match "Eat the Beavers". ;)

College age? Sure, it's innocent. You betcha. :cool: :rolleyes:

Wow!!! This thread has really been hijacked. From a strike zone discussion, to insomnia, to a discussion about beavers, to college age girls. It is starting to sound like one of those spammers we all hate to see on here has found a way to get his spam across....legally! :eek: :D

I am an innocent virgin
 

I tried to stay focused on Honest Abe but Irishmafia and Dakota dragged me kicking and screaming into the whole college girls/beavers deal. :rolleyes:

I am a victim of their animal foused minds. :eek:

You can't rap3 the willing... :D
