Balls....balls I tell you.

[Chef]

OK; Me and two others working a high school varsity boys league game.

These two teams don't like each other one little damn bit.

2-point game; 57.7 left in the game. Home-team down.

I'm under the basket.......ball gets stripped before contact is made. No call.

Coach goes nuts.....wants a foul......I say "NAY, GAWD-DAMMIT, NAAAAAAAAYYYYY"......go to the other end.

Foul called on home team by official in center spot (not me); home-team coach goes mental.....leaves the coaches box.

Official (NOT ME) gives the foul, and notices that the coach is a few steps out of the coaches box, and proceeds to give the coach a T.

On his court......on Senior Night.........in a 2-point game.......

Oh ****.

Home team ends up losing by 5.

Of couse, it didn't help that home team at one point missed 8 FREE THROWS IN A ROW.

Was the direction I was going to go as well...

Then again, you're the only other person that liked my writing irish is sad thread, so that figures

 

[ArnoldBabar]

Chef, you lead the league in writing thread titles that guarantee the thread will be read.

There's probably a job in that, some fancy web search prominence efficiency something. You should look into that. Just don't wear open-toed sandals to the interview.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Chef, ever watch the "BME Pain Olympics"? If you ever need help with ball deflation, check it out.

Like Andy Richter's sitcom, it just didn't get a chance...

 

[dooley_womack1]

Heck, we should just PM new entries to each other.

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Golly gee, that may just be a darn good idea.

No.

No.

I have no desire to watch some guy cutting off his own **** just to say he did it.

It's been widely debunked as fake, but still perhaps the most disturbing thing ever.

Didn't we do a "most horrifying videos on the web" thread once? I got into an I-can-top-that war with a friend, and I have seen things no one should ever seee.

Brilliant.

 

[luckyducky]

Chef, if you ever get tired of starting threads about games you ref, feel free to just PM them straight to me. ;D

Had he already been out of his box and/or was a warning given earlier in the night about it?

 

[spnited]

Chef, if you ever get tired of starting threads about games you ref, feel free to just PM them straight to me. ;D

And spare the rest of us.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Don't like it, Spnited?

I immediately shivered.

 

[mustangj17]

Shouldn't let the fact that it is senior night or a home game or that it is late in the game influence your decision to make or not make a call.

 

[Hustle]

Nothing really to add other than to say that "balls" is a really good exclamation of frustration.

Had an old boss who would exclaim it whenever something would go wrong with his computer. He'd have this blank look at the screen for a few seconds, then, "Aw, balls!"

It's a good release and won't necessarily bring you the stares that '****' or '****' would.

 

[budcrew08]

I think I'm going to try that tonight when my computer crashes. ;D
