Advice from the coach...

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his
9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, 'Do you understand what
cooperation is? What a team is?'

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose
together as a team?'

The little boy nodded 'yes'.

'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an out is
called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a
pecker-head, dickhead, or asshole. Do you understand all that?'

The little boy nodded 'yes' again.

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so another boy
gets achance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach "a
dumb ass or ****head" is it?'

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.

'GOOD', said the coach. 'Now go over there and explain all that
to your GRANDMOTHER!'

Don't boats have decks? Oh wait... boatless assholes want to have a
deck. Yeah, that's the ticket.

So...off topic posts are A-OK with the ID spoofers and their fluffers...

Interesting.

Certainly right... I've seen such nonsense at baseball games when my nephew
was playing. Adults can be so childish sometimes.

I've read it here before... you can think of this place as a marina...
people talk about all kinds of things, not just boats. It's the
personal attacks that are tiresome.

Interesting.

It IS interesting that some people post OT themselves, then attacks
others when they do it.
