Who knew that Germany, the UK, and Israel have spam-like variations of corned beef?

that is good. but 2 changes- I have never seen "good pants guy."

And he forgot massive obese guy playing in the summer.

My least favorite moment came in the summer at a court in Arlington Va. It had good games. i was on a team with 4 guys who knew other. The other team comes out and there is this 350 pound 6'2" guy. My teammates made me guard him, which meant boxing him on defense, because he just stood with his back to the basket and leaned back. Holding him out about killed me. Meanwhile he started out nasty sweaty and got worse throughout the game.

On offense all I did was stand outside and try to rest.

Once we won, I was so looking forward to the next game, until four guys walked out, "need 1." The world slowed. I knew what was going to happen before it did. Sure enough.

Matt Labash writes the article that Sidd wishes he had written. Inspires some real self-loathing on my part for having an account. Not enough to delete it, though.

Re: You are on Facebook, and I hate you.
 

Technically I am on Facebook though I never meant to be and don't check it. My only excuse is that a real world friend started a page and invited me to be her Facebook friend.

Re: You are on Facebook, and I hate you.
 

Yes. I continue the resistance.

Unrelatedly, Judge Posner puts the smackdown on a prosecutor by name in a criminal case about salad dressing.

Re: For Hank
 

He really forgot "Argues every call" guy. That asshole ruins every game he's in, has never committed a foul, argues plays he's not even involved in, sometimes argues AGAINST his own teammate who has admitted to a foul and even argues from the sidelines while he's waiting for next. I despise him with the fire of a thousand angry suns.

I have come to terms with the differences between street ball pickup and indoor pickup, especially since my knees won't let me play outdoors much anymore. But I have to say that I prefer the "If you call a foul, the shot doesn't count" approach to the "And 1" rule. It really makes you think about whether or not the foul was meaningful. And if you call it late under the former set of rules, people laugh at you as they're running up the court in the opposite direction. (God, I hate late calls.)

I've had to guard super fat guy. He usually likes to go shirtless because all his extra body hair and fat and sweat needs to be shared with as many people as possible. I've played against at least two guys who I swore took their shirts off just because they could score two baskets a game from repulsing defenders away from them.

The subject of rare sustained discussion on the Big Board.

Re: For Hank
 

are you saying indoor there is and 1? you mean you keep possession? I bet people argue like mad against a foul when the shot is made.

I have never seen and 1.

I hate argues guy too, but I guess see him as a specie of "foul guy." my last real game was a lunchtime run twice a week with a bunch of guys cheating their offices. We were just there to run for a few hours- lots of really good players, but everyone wanted to maximize playing time and minimize arguing time. So we just played. Whenever someone new fell into the game we worried if he would be foul guy. 1 guy can fuck it up really quickly.
