200.0. "What Gives Wif Sports????" by CAM::WAY (Outfielder in the Bourbon) Fri Mar 30 1990 15:12

Now, I *really* curious.

I've been reading in here for the better part of two days, and I'm 
starting to believe that SPORTS may have finally lost some of
its luster, its characters, is charsima..

I mean, check this out....

	First, no RCASO.  Sports without Ralph is like spaghetti
	without sauce, or beer without whisky!

	Second, Mr T has seemingly taken another powder...Not that
	this is new, but it was kind of interesting when he
	was around.

	And finally, /Don has been poking and jabbing at Dan for
	two days, and we've no had one, good, rollicking, loquacious
	Dan Diatribe(tm) yet!

What gives?  Is the honeymoon over?  Is it time to go back to Mr Hand?

Too funny, Mike.

The worst part is that if T did take a powder, he didn't even give
a good old whisky drinkin' T Tantrum(tm)...

Saw, since so many people miss Ralph, I think you should rummage through this
and prior versions of Sports and collect his utterings.  Then, create an RCASO
topic, and once or twice a week enter a choice selection.  Kind of like a
greatest hits topic.

duties.  He'll be doing baseball and football in addition to his current
stellar work covering the NBA.

    I keep waiting to hear that it was an April's Fool joke.  Stockton will
    last 1/2 year before he exposes himself to be the fool that he is.  As
    it is now, only NBA fans and Boston folks who remember his days here
    are the ones to know.
    
    I hear Al Michaels has been fined by ABC.  CBS should make every effort
    to hire him.

    Yeah, good ole Ralphie boy.  He is definitely missed.  Do you guys
    remember the first few notes he entered?  When I saw them, I thought,
    oh sh*t, these guys are really gonna lay into him.  But NOOOOOOOOO,
    whoever it was (Slasher?), tried to keep it serious and address what
    he *thought* Ralph was trying to say.  I thought that was classy.  I
    was giggling my a$$ off too!
    
    'saw, life goes on big guy.  With or without RCASO, SPORTS is the
    best conference.

200.17COMET::JOHNSTONnamby-pamby bedwetting WHAT?!!?Mon Apr 02 1990 11:5411
	Remember when somebody wrote in ( was it Denny ), and asked if this
CASO guy was serious? He said he couldn't figure out what he was saying half
the time, but thought it was funny, and just wondered if the guy was serious
or not.

	Ralph went non-linear! Then everybody started writing in with their
pious faces on talking about valuing differences. I almost swallowed my socks!
I was rolling all over the cube, and had to go walk outside for a minute to get
my breath. This Notesfile is the greatest.

The part that I got the biggest kick out of was whoever used the
p-name string "RCASO Skul ov typing".  I was rolling on that one
for days...

Yeah, I like this conference.  There is something that goes on in here,
kind of a group creativity that is unbelievable.  

Yes, we do deviate and junk note, but when you come right down to it,
the junk notes we produce enforce some of the highest comedic principles.

This notes is great....

    Claybone,
    
    Re personal_name
    
    Sometimes the cow doesn't give any milk for an extended period (no pun
    intended)of time.   The cow tends to have headaches or is tired alot.
    
    Sometimes the milk is old and soured.
    
    The milk has gotten boring over time and it's time to taste new milk.
    
    
    Just a few of the many answers to justify looking for milk.
    Also, if you were getting the milk for free in the first place, why
    would you have bought the cow anyway?????????
    
    JaKe
    
    
    
200.20CAM::WAYOutfielder in the BourbonMon Apr 02 1990 12:1815
Yes, and it's very important to remember to give the cow a 
tuberculosis test on regular occasions.  Milk from tubercular
cows should not be consumed.

Also, you have to watch out for mastitis, an inflammation and 
possible blockage of an udder...

There are many hazards about keeping a cow at home.  This should
really only be done by trained professionals.

If anyone has any cow questions, feel free to ask, and I'll impart
as much of my vast knowledge as I'm able...;^)

Farmingly yours,

200.24CAM::WAYOutfielder in the BourbonMon Apr 02 1990 13:4513
It depends on whether or not they lose their cud.  

If they don't, then there's no problem, because it serves the same
functions as a child sucking its thumb.  A thumb sucking child can
literally have a building fall down around its ears and be none the
worse for wear.

However, it the cow loses its cud, then the cow could be scarred for
life.  In fact, if it's bad enough, the cow will never produce milk
again, producing, in fact, small curd cottage cheese...

    If anybody gets the chance to see it, I'd recommend a really gnarley
    movie I saw last weekend.
    
    It's about this farmer who's out walking in the dell when he hears
    a voice out of nowhere say "If you plow it, he will come."  He then
    proceeds to take apart this little league field and turn it into
    a meadow, to the great chagrin of the townspeople, and also his
    wife who made a lot of money selling popsicles at the games.
    
    After some time, he looks out the window, and sure enough, there
    is this big ol' cow standing in the middle of his field.  He goes
    out, and sure enough the cow is none other "Jersey Joe", who was
    rustled years ago and was presumed dead.  The farmer just stared
    in awe as the cow crapped in the field, and disappeared back into
    the corn.
    
    Days later, "Jersey Joe" reappeared with some other bovine buddies.
    There was Mrs. O'Leary's cow who started the Chicago Fire. And there
    was Elsie the contented Borden Cow (or was that Lizzie, I can't
    remember.)  Then came Ferd'nand the Bull, the cow that jumped over
    the moon, and the cow that Jack sold for a handfull of magic beans.
    
    Then the farmer hears another voice, "Ease her pain," so he grabs
    the milking stool, takes the situation in hand and milks it for
    all it is worth.
    
    An udderly fantastic film.  See it..it's called "Field of Creams."

    Speaking of cows,
    
    The latest issue of one of those grocery store rags showed Dolly (I'd
    dribble a basketball across a mine field for her) Parton and the
    caption said that doctors had just filled each mammie gland with a
    pint of silicone.

    I saw a headline the other day on one of those rags that
    went something like this:
    
    Head of man who was having an affair explodes. 
    Guilt was just too much for him.
    
    I could make my head expolode too if I filled it with the business end

    is a LOT of Patriot players this year that sucks!!!
    
    And he did lead the patriots to the superbowl!!!even though they
    lost but no team would have won that game! And if i remeamber
    Jim Plunkett was waived by Bill Walsh and the 49ers then lead
    the Raiders to 2 SUPER BOWLS!!
    
    And if you like MEN keep me out of it i see what you wrote you have
    your opinions and i have MINE! 
    
    Bernie Koser has a few bad games and they let him play out of it!
    Same thing for many NFL QB. Tony did good if you look at 2 out of
    his 3 games he play'd in this year NO PATS QB HAS THROW FOR MORE
    YARDS IN A GAME THIS YEAR THAN TONY! FACT!!!

    What's wrong with SPORTS ??   The problem is exemplified by the
    majority of responses to this very note ......
    
    The "old" SPORTS had some very unique personalities ...... folks that
    knew their sports, enjoyed barbing back-and-forth and didn't have to
    resort to Dolly Parton-based humour .....
    
    IMO this "new" SPORTS has become dominated by a few cliques ... which
    is o.k. except when the replies take on a "you-had-to-be-there"
    focus ......
    
    Noter A  " Wow, that beer you drank last night sure must have mixed
               up your head "
    
    Noter B  " Yea, and weren't those pretzels great "
    
    This may be interesting/humourous to those who "were there" , but to
    the majority of the folks reading this file (and thinking of
    participating) ..... YAWN.
    
    I, personally, find the sexual humour pretty boring too ..... not
    that I'm a prude, but c'mon ..... most of this stuff reminds me
    of a high school locker room conversation.
    
    Just my opinion ...... as Joni Mitchell said " You never know what
    you got 'til it's gone " .........

Well, what can I say....  I loved her in the Hercules movie with
Lou "The Incredible Dork" Ferrigno...

Also saw her in some German dubbed movie while I was in France. 
I don't know the name but she was a teacher, having an affair wif
some student of hers, and she kept bonking him.  We got to see
some pretty interesting portions of her anatomy.  Anyway, someone
blowed away most of her husband's family, and I think it got
hung on the kid.  (If anyone knows the name of the movie in English,

    THANKS for reminding of the reason I don't read this notes file very
    often. 
    	I suppose it did not occur to any of you so called men that not one
    woman responded to your three day dribble.  I don't wonder that any of
    you sport geniuses noticed there are very few women who even use this 
    file as a forum to express what added dimensions sports give their lives.
    	I am a very big fan of organized sports, male and female.  I have
    been watching professional sports for 30 years of my life and I would
    not take back one moment of this time for anything.  My heart has been
    broken by Montana, Clark, McCovey, Mays and countless others who gave it 
    there best, which wasn't good enough for a win that day.  I stuck with 
    those GUYS and the teams to see some of them get to the top.  It has been a
    bumpy ride most of the time, but there is nothing like the feeling of
    your team going to the SUPERBOWL or the World Series.  
    	The main topic of discussion in this sports note seems to be how to 
    best beat up the players on the teams you like and cry like a bunch of
    babies when they lose.
    	I too think this file can be much more than statistics, but where is the
    heart of the sports that you claim you like.  I have always admired the
    men in sports who have the guts and the heart to go the distance.  I
    just don't think you guys even know what that means.

    Caught "Amazon Women on the Moon" on the tube the other night. 
    They had to edit quite a bit for television, but where they cut
    out a few parts, they inserted new material that was not in the
    original.
    
    This movie is tooooo funny.  I especially like the singer called
    Clarence "No Soul" Something-or-other.  He's this black dude who
    sings all Carpenters and Barry Manilow Songs...you know, the sappiest,
    candy-coated songs ever written.  If ya want a few good belly laughs,

    	My favorite thing about No Soul was how he could sing those
    sappy Manilow songs with absolutely NO expression.  The camera would
    be panned in on this emotionless face as it sang.

When I started this topic is didn't have anything at all to do
with anything at all serious about Sports.  It had to do with
"Where have you gone RCASO". It had to do with what I thought
was Mr T leaving the file again (which turned out not to be true).
It had to do with some of the past noters who are maybe no longer
with the company, who used to liven things up.

You wanna see how sports affects our lives?  Read the file, read 
the drivel.  For often times hidden in the stupidest replies are
the grains of the truth.

For me, I don't have to sit here and argue about whether player x
has more desire than player y.   I won't assume to know something like
that since I don't know what motivates them to play the game to begin
with.  I know why I would play, but not necessarily why they play.

Sports can be a microcosm of life.  But it can also be a really
good way just to relax.  Kind of like Cheers.  Every answer doesn't
have to mean something....expecting that is like expecting to find
symbolism in the type of lettuce in a salad in a foreign film.

Sports doesn't really affect my life unless I'm watching a game.
Players (most of them) are not my role models, and after my teams
loses a game, I realize that the sun still comes up in the morning,
I'm still breathing, and the team will have another chance to disappoint
me again soon (follow the Whalers, the Red Sox, and the US National
Soccer team, and you get to know this....)

What happens in this file is that people, in a small way, through their
junk notes, and their serious ones, put in stuff about themselves.
Get to know THEM and you'll get to know how sports affects them..

	I saw `Amazon Women On The Moon' last night (part of it anyway).

I liked [ The man who turned a personal affliction into a career -- 
          Don ` No Soul ' Simmons ]

I also loved it when they were watching out the port, and the moon blew up, and
you could still see a piece of it hanging on the string that had been holding
it up.

It had some pretty good spoofs of the whole fifties genre: Sci-Fi movies, dorky
commercials, etc.

Those Amazon Women looked exceptionally toothsome as well.

Speakin' of livestock...
    
    Two farmers met in town and got to talking. One farmer mentioned
    to the other that he had a prize female pig on his farm, the second 
    farmer said that he had a prize male pig on his farm, so the two 
    farmers decided they would mate the two pigs and share the litter.
    
    The next day farmer #1 picked up his female pig, put her in a 
    wheelbarrow and wheeled her over to his friends farm. While the two 
    pigs were in the act the first farmer asked the second farmer 
    
    		"How will I know if my pig is pregnant?"
    
    The second farmer explains, "Tomorrow morning, if she is rolling 
    around in the mud, that means she is pregnant."
    
    After the pigs finish their act the first farmer picks up his female 
    and wheels her back to his farm. The next morning he wakes up and sees 
    his female out in the fields eating grass. So he again puts her in the 
    wheelbarrow and brings her to his friends farm. The next day she is 
    again out in the fields eating grass so the farmer loads her into the 
    wheelbarrow and wheels her over to his friends farm. 
    
    After about a week of unsuccessful attempts the farmer is at his wits 
    end, when he wakes up in the morning he can't bear to look at the
    window, so he asks his wife,
    
    		"Honey, is the pig in the field eating grass?"
    
    		"No, she's not."
    
    		"Is she rolling around in the mud?!?"
    
    		"No, she's not rolling in the mud either."
    
    		"Then what is she doing?!?"

    Hey A&W, how'd you interested in sports?
    
    My wife didn't used to care about football (or any other sport) for
    years.  It was really tough to be able to enjoy settling back with
    a cold one and make it through the game without her getting upset
    and feeling deserted.  We talked about who was wearing the pants
    in the family.  With that out of the way she decided that if I
    did the dished early enough then there would still be time to catch
    most of the game.
    
    To make a long, painful story short,  I had to find a way to get
    her involved in football watching.  The main problem was that she
    just didn't understand the rules and the object of the game.  No
    problem there.  After explaining the basics of football she started
    looking closer at the linesmen as they got ready to start a play.
    Now that caught her attention when the screen filled with all these
    shiney buns wrapped in semi-transparent pants.
    
    That's all it took for *transformation*.  Now its no problem to watch
    a football game.  If she's busy doing something I just yell, " Hey, Ma!
    There's a game com'n on!".  She says, "I know!  It's Washington!  I 
    LOVE their uniforms!  I'll be right there."

    re how I got started wif sports -
    
    damned if I know, it was sometime in high school.  Prolly when my
    best friend took me to my first Black Hawks game -- her dad was
    manager of Chicago Stadium.  We sat about 6 rows up, blue line,
    right behind the bench.  Except when we got the seats *between*
    the benches.  Hockey ain't the same on the tube, that's fer sure.
    She jest showed me the publicity pic of Keith Magnuson, at 16 that
    was all it took....
    
    re curling -
    
    It's played on ice.  There is a big 'stone', which the teams slide
    along the ice.  You use a broom to sweep the ice ahead of the sliding
    stone, in an effort to influence it's direction.  The game originated
    in Scotland, land of some *very* strange sports (these are the same
    guys that toss telephone poles called cabers).  Kinda slow developing
    action.

	I saw it (from afar), and it looked like a big, round, flat bottomed
stone with a handle. It reminded me of an oversized version of my old granny's
irons... the kind you used to heat up on a stove instead of plug in. It looked
like the `curler' would take a little run and slide the rock towards the target
(a circle?), and the other people on the team used brooms to sweep in front of
it, or brush snow in front of it, in order to control the speed. Actually, it's
probably fun to play, but not exactly something I got off on watching.

	I'm beginning to think Junk Noting pays off! So far today we've heard
from Karen, Julie, Alison, and Kim. That must be some kind of record! Welcome

    After Hockey, Curling is the second most popular sport in Canada.
    I kid you not.  It's on CBC alot in the winter.  The explanations
    given in here are pretty close - it is a little like shuffleboard
    - strategy involves getting your stone closest to the center ring,
    and if you do that, protecting it by placing a stone in the way
    of your opponents.  You can bump your opponents' stone out of the
    circle.  The sweepers, who now use a nylon broon instead ofthe ol
    corn broom, try, as Steven said, to guide the direction of the stone,
    but more importantly, they try to guide the SPEED of the stone.
    By increasing the tempo of the sweeping, they rough the ice up and
    make the stone slow down.  Good sweepers can make or break a curl.

    Didn't they also invent that other stupid game where you try to
    hit a little white ball into a hole a half a mile away?  To warn
    others that a ball was on it's way down the course, the player would
    yell "Oh! It is hit", later shortened to "Oh, 'tis hit", which later
    became the name of the game now known as "Oh Shit".

KING-SIZE ROMANCE

120-lb man tells why big gals make best wives and lovers

   Gigantic fat gals are the sexiest women on earth, according to a skinny, 
120-pound Romeo with a king-sized appetite for love!
   Good-looking Gary von Schwebel, 25, is one of the ever-increasing number of
regular guys who are convinced that big women make the best lovers and wives.
   Gary only has eyes for girls over 300 pounds.  He'd love nothing more than
to settle down with a 500-pound beauty.  When it comes to large ladies, Gary
admits, the sky's the limit!

				SPECIAL BEAUTY

   "I've been fascinated by the beauty and charm of fat women ever since I can
remember," declares Gary.  "There's something very exciting about a girl who can
literally fill your arms.
   "They're difinitely made for cuddling!"
   Gary, who works for a financial institution, dated women of all sizes in the
past.  But he soon learned that big women are more affectionate, compassionate
and caring than their skinny counterparts.  They're also more faithful to men 
who appreciate their special beauty.

				INFLATED

   According to Gary, there's a deeper, more spiritual side to fat women which 
makes them ideal wives and mothers.  And he's quick to point out that fat 
doesn't mean ugly.
   "My old girlfriend had long blond hair and the face of a Playboy model,"
Gary tells [name of rag].  "At 300 pounds, she looked like an inflated Heather
Locklear."
   Finding heavy dates was no problem when Gary lived in Los Angeles and Casper,
Wyoming.  But big gals are slim pickings in his new hometown of Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
   "Fat women in Alguquerque are too weight-conscious," Gary explains.  "I'm
looking for someone who's proud of being big.
   "That's the kind of woman I want to spend the rest of my days with and 
develop a spiritual bond with."
   Convinced that his beloved behemoth is somewhere out there, Gary is asking
[name of rag] readers across the country for help in finding her.  He is 
romantic, easygoing, sensitive, totally sincere and willing to devote himself
forever to that one special person.
   "I know I could make her the happiest woman in the world," he says confident-
ly.
   Gary would love to hear from pen pals of any age.

TOUGH GAL IS A BOUNCER IN THE MEANEST BAR IN TOWN

   Tough gal Joey Speicher has been whacked in the face, smacked upside the
head and threatened with a gun, but that doesn't scare the chief bouncer at one
on the toughest country-and-western bars in the west.
   Joey, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs a rock-solid 240 pounds, keeps hard-
drinking cowboys under control at the Beacon Club in Casper, Wyoming.
   At the first hint of trouble, Joltin' Joey jumps off her barstool and grabs
the roughneck with a powerful armlock or shoulder hold.
   She lets troublemakers off with a stern warning the first time, but promises
to "get ugly" if they want to take her on in a fight.
   If a fight breaks out, Joey jumps in the middle and brazenly declares to the
barrom brawlers:  "If you want to try me, go ahead - but I promise you'll get
your butt beat!"
   Even though she gets his at least five or siz times a week, Joey says that
being a gal bouncer has its advantages because "cowboys are raised not to his
women."
   But not all of the guys follow a gentleman's code when Joey tosses them out
the door on the seat of their pants.
   One bar patron bashed in Joey's face and broke her nose in the parking lot
after she kicked him out of the club.

				NO FEAR

   Joey says she was a bloody mess - but she got up and hit her attacker three
times before he went down for good.
   Another time, Joey found her life being threatened when she encountered a 
drunk with a handgun kicking a car door in the parking lot.
   The man threatened to blow Joey's brains out, but she cooly told him to go
ahead -  and then she turned and walked away, showing no fear.
   Joey says she's tangled with enough customers at the Beacon Club so that
most patrons know not to mess with her.
   The night manager at the Beacon says she's one of the best bouncers in the
business because she can talk people out of fights - and she's not afraid of
action, Joey's boyfriend isn't too keen on her profession however.
   He wants her to pursue a more lady-like career but Joey says she loves being
a bouncer because she doesn't take orders from anybody.

SPACE ALIENS TOLD ME HOW TO GROW TOMATOES AS BIG AS PUMPKINS...claims farmer
with astounding crops

   A farmer whose gigantic 20-pound tomatoes are as big as pumpkins says he 
learned the secret of growing monster vegetables from green-thumbed space 
aliens!
   Grateful Mario Cordato claims the aliens' amazing growing method saved his
faililng farm from certain bankruptcy.
   "And the amazing thing is, growing huge vegetables is so simple," says the
47-year-old farmer and father of six.
   "I don't know why I never discovered it myself.  I owe everything to those
men from the heavens."
   A team of government agricultural experts has visited Mario's farm and 
confirmed that his vegetables are out of this world in size, color and taste.

				GIANT ZUCCHINI

   Mario's crop yielded tomatoes weighing from 12 to 23 pounds.  His zucchini
ranged from two to three and a half feet long.
   One head of lettuce was larger than a basketball and weighed more than five
pounds.
   "Not only are the vegetables unusually large in size, their nutritional
content and flavor quality is excellent," says state official Hector Redonda.
   "however, Mr. Cordato is being difficult revealing his secret.

				HARVEST

   "He deeps insisting that he was taught how to farm superior vegetables by 
space aliens.  This, of course, is outrageous."
   Investigators are now testing the soil of Mario's 40-acre farm, which lies
northwest of Melo, Uruguay.  They hope to identify unusual chemicals or fertil-
izers that could be responsible for the miraculous havest.
   But Mario claims they're searching in vain.
   "I learned the secret last May," he recalls.  "My harvest had been pitiful
and my wife and children had gone to a special evening mass to pray for a 
better crop.
   "I was sitting in the field when I spotted a shooting star.  It kept getting
bigger and suddenly I realized it was coming towards me.  It settled in a nearby
grove of trees.
   "I was frightened but curious, so I ran over.  When I got there, I found a
large metal sphere about 25 feet high.  A doo opened and three man-like
creatures came out.

				TIMING

   "They were no more than five feet tall and wore silver suits.  Their skin was
very white and they had no hair or ears."
   "I don't recall them making any sounds, but seemed like they were talking in
my head."
   Mario claims the space aliens told him the correct time to plant, the pattern
of plowing and the exact amount of fertilizer to use.
   "They said timing and positioning is everything when it comes to growing 
crops," he says.
   "And the exact time and position varies each year.  Before they left, they
promised to return this year to instruct me for my next crop," Mario adds.

				SPAGHETTI KING 

		He can eat 20 pounds of pasta in 15 minutes

   Mighty mouth Mike Harvey has a hard acto to swallow because he can eat 20
pounds of spaghetti in 15 minutes.
   Muscleman Mike, 29, pounds down mounds of pasta each day as part of his 
strict bodybuilding routine.  To keep his massive body fueled for exhausting
workouts, his daily menu also includes five chickens and 30 eggs.
   "I love eating pasta so much that some people think I must be Italian," says
Mike.
   "But I'm just a guy who likes to eat healthy food that tastes good.
   "I feel strong as can be after I have a big plate of spaghetti.  Popeye the
Sailorman got strong by eating spinach, and I get my strength from pasta."
   Mike's power-pasta diet must be working because his chiseled body is the
envy of both men and women, and has brought him many bodybuilding championship
trophies.
   He's training right now for another competition, but this time he's only 
lifting his knife and fork instead of heavy barbells.
   Mike is practicing his speedy pasta-eating skills because he wants to win
the gold medal in England's National Pasta Eating Championship.

				FAVORITE

   "Eating 20 pounds of pasta in 15 minutes is no big deal for me," boasts Mike.
"It's like lifting weights, you just have to train properly."
   After Mike showed off his pasta-eating prowress, oddsmakers made him the 
favorite to squash the other spaghetti-eaters when the pig-out contest gets
underway.

Aye, now Bob....are ye makin' foon of us Scotsmen and ar kilts agin?

In their time, the Clans of Scotland were some of the greatest warriors
on Earth.  I'm not an expert on their history (because I've yet to
find a history in the library that wasn't totally impossible to follow).

If you've never been to Scottish games, they are real trip.  Most
of the events are weight events, and these fellows are HUGE.   Surprisingly
enough, the one event in the games which has no standardization is the
caber toss.  There are limits, but the caber at any give games is
different from the one the weekend before.

And not anyone can wear a kilt and wear it well.  It takes some manly
legs to do justice to a kilt.   And if you piss off a Scotsman who's
got a kilt on, watch out when he reaches down to his right calf.  That's
where he keeps his dagger (actually a dirk).....

And if ya keep at it, I'll not let ye on the bus....8^)

    	Looks like SPORTS is officially deemed OUTTA::CNTROL.  What
    	started this whole thing anyways?  Who is to BLAM???  Will
    	anyone ever be able to mention a beach ball again without
    	the fated reference to ninja noters and the Mefaa tribe??
    	Is nothing sacred???  
    
    	The SPORTS community lays in shatters as the fragment of society
    	swings violently out of control under the anarchal influences
    	of such famed NOTES criminals as Chainsaw, Mike JN, Hawk, /Don,
    	Mad Dog Hendry and a cast of other outlaws.
    
    	Who will save OURGNG from inevitable doom?  What is the fate
    	of SPORTS as we know it???  Will a swift justice be handed 
    	down upon those who have trespassed against the very basic
    	laws of SPORTS or will this only give rise to yet another
    	sadistic wave of gut busting replies rich in sarcastic humor
    	and outright hilarity?            
    
    	What gives wif sports, anyways????

Well, to kinda paraphrase Hank Williams Jr., and to admit guilt but
not remorse:

    It had to have been one of the lowest budgeted films ever made.
    If you loved attack of the giant tomato, you would have gone bonkers
    over the heroic struggle of one of 'our' hero's valiantly defending
    himself against a docile beach ball 'pet' turned into a rabid attack
    ball. It had all the excitement of battling a ball on a string, and
    held you in suspense, right up to the moment when it fizzled out after
    being punctured. Wow! What a tear jerker that was. Actually, it was so
    pathetic, you couldn't help but laugh.

    (And yes, the beachball alien pet was a beachball of the type you could
    buy in any sporting goods store.)

    Who, me?  Never.
    
    However, the Ninja 'Police can be after the note because the correct
    plural of hero is heroes, not hero's (sic).
    
    I'm not the only one out there!
