    (I once had to sit in the car for an hour in front of a weird house in the middle of nowhere while he practiced bow and arrow with some other hillbilly out back.)

    What you call "practicing bow and arrow" I call "doin' the hibbidy dibbidy."

    Did anyone else have to read that sentence fragment 2-3 times just to make sure they read it right?

    my balls were a flaming ruins for a week after that. Thanks coach.

    I was unaware that Graham James also coached high school basketball. I guess you really do learn something new every day...

    As this was a Catholic-run league, the ref didn't hesitate to eject him from the game, as well as the gymnasium, as well as the sweet promise of eternal salvation and into the bounds of Purgatory, where, until the end of time, he was forced to do lay-up drills with Joel Pryzbilla and Chuck Nevitt.

    "The Grip" actually ended up quitting his job as a gym teacher, and along with his friends "GI Joe" and "Kung-fu," started a Sublime cover band.

    The next sound we heard was the "slap" of wet newspaper upon tile flooring.

    That takes me back to the summer I spent violating the human rights of terror suspects at Gitmo.

    This coach had a unique ability to traumatize every one in our school.

    That's not that unique...ask Notre Dame.

    This clown would routinely show up to practices 20 minutes late, wasted and reeking of cheap whiskey and cigarettes.

    In fairness, this was the "Ringling Bros, Barnum and Robert Mitchum" rec league.

    Before the first basketball practice coach would give you your very own jockstrap with your initials emblazoned on the front.

    The missus and I don't ever fight. Ever. It's weird that way, and it's probably because we were really good friends before becoming involved.

    ...But it might also be because Mrs. Praline is a psychiatrist.

    In reply to Of Matters Concerning Mandatory Husband ESP
    In defense of wives, sometimes we ARE annoyed you're not proactive enough because your lack of pro-activity holds us up from the fun time you seem to be having.

    Last night I was making potato leek soup for dinner. I just had finished peeling the potatoes, went over to the trash to throw away the skins, and husband yells excitedly from the living room, "Hey, you have to see this!" about something stupid in the Oregon-Oregon State game. Well guess what, I cannot come right out because the effing trash is full and I have handfuls of sopping wet potato peels in my hands! Wish I could come right out and have fun, but someone has to deal with this mess. If you would have emptied the trash earlier, I could have dumped the peels and seen the play DAMMIT MAKE YOUR OWN DINNER.

    (In husband's defense, he realized by the tone of "MY HANDS ARE FULL" he needed to pause the game and take out the trash.)
