If you don't mind the question, how much will you make?

 

[kingcreole]

You umping in Dodge City?

 

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

O/U on the number of parents whom Chef will wish he could amputate their toe: 44

 

[Chef]

You umping in Dodge City?

yep.

 

[MileHigh]

Jeeze, are you insane? OK, don't answer that.
8 fast-pitch games in one day? Guessing four on the plate, four on the bases. Still ... lunacy.

 

[Chef]

If you don't mind the question, how much will you make?

Around 1500 (after tax)

 

[Chef]

You umping in Dodge City?

Haven't done that in years, but that was a typical Saturday when I was a youth umpire.

Hell, that's nothing. I do feel a teensy bit bad for the girl pitching 8 games that day, though.

Steel-toed shoes, Chef! For the love of god, steel-toed shoes!

 

[Chef]

Steel-toed shoes, Chef! For the love of god, steel-toed shoes!

Rubbish.

No steelies for Chef.

 

[old_tony]

Based on the title and seeing Chef started it, I thought it was going to be another self-surgery thread. How disappointing.

 

[fossywriter8]

Give an overzealous parent the heave-ho for me.

 

[Chef]

UPDATE

Massive thunderstorms raising hell. 3 hour delay.

Rubbish.

 

[slappy4428]

And when you finally get out there, be sure to snap a lot about needing to make up time... they'll love ya for it.

 

[Chef]

Just got done.

The 3 hour delay turned into a 7 hour delay.

The 8AM game got started at 4:05.

**** me with a rusty spork.

 

[Sxysprtswrtr]

So, instead of the 8-hour bra, do they have the 8-hour cup for umps?

 

[Sxysprtswrtr]

Nope. Like a pallister T-shirt, you're stuck with it for seven days in a row.

ha! Hope it's not maroon all the time -- That could mean your junk isn't working or smelling right.

And Chef, good luck with all the work.
