| Oct. 12, 2008 bashbro1 Men's 70 267 posts | Joe. Here are a few quotes that may or may not have some relevance to some of the discussions taking place on this message board. The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts. -- Bertrand Russell Stay away from the little people who try to belittle your ambitions, small people will always do that; big people can help you become great. -- Mark Twain The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. -- Samuel Johnson In Senior Softball you can’t win without having a GREAT catcher behind the plate. --Bashbro1 |
| Oct. 12, 2008 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Always on time, Bash and who could argue the importance of the catcher to winning in slow pitch softball. Certainly not me or Yogi. Catching can beoome even in slow pitch a very dynamic influence on the defense. Mango for Courtesy Auto does a lot more than most catchers in readying, steadying, supporting and leading his team. They just won another National Title if I'm not mistaken. See you in Phoenix. |

| Oct. 22, 2008 bashbro1 Men's 70 267 posts | Okay Gehall44! 0 A gal phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home. 0 I’ve been blessed with having good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheated on me. 0 I remember the time I was kidnapped as a kid and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof. 0 I though I'd be good and tell my wife the truth. So I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, a plumbers, and five bartenders. 0 Back to my father. He’s was so ashamed of me that he carried around the picture of the kid that came with the wallet to show his friends. 0 When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them. 0 My wife likes sex in the back seat of her car and she asked me if I wouldn' mind driving. Rodney Dangerfield |

What Men Want: Tickets for the world series.” This one's for you Joey - “The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.” |
