Odd CSU Photo

I see two butterflies fighting in mid-air.

Check that. Wrong photo.

Geez... I thought for sure it was his stomach with his jersey tucked underneath it (lacrosse teams in San Francisco were the first to develop this "style").

Now I see it - it's just his hand!!

HA HA!

Well... at least it wasn't 2 butterflies.

No, no, no. East coast d-bags who came to California started this style. They think it is cool to tie their jerseys in the back with a knot and wear board shorts.

"Well at least it wasn't two butterflies"......good one.

Two things:

1) sohotrightnow is absolutely right. Particularly with the friggin board shorts (although I'm sure that the mandible finds it 'pretty cool' daht...daht....daht). Also am I the only one who NEVER though the guy's hand looks like his stomach? What? And that's funny. Apparently as funny as two butterflies?!!! Get a rope for Mountainguy please!

2) This is the worst thread in the history of this forum. The NBA finals is terrible to watch, football isn't even in preseason yet....we are apparently this bored and have nothing to talk about.......someone's rod and cones are all screwed up and he can't distinguish shapes and colors, and it turns into a 2 page forum.

The new lacrosse season and fall ball can't get here fast enough.



His stomach? Really? Try not to operate any heavy machinery until you see a doctor for god's sake

I don't know if it 's a fashion statement now but backwhen I was in high school, (when lacrosse was deemed for preppies and burnouts) and was not enjoying the popularity it is now-companies used to make jerseys either really long (football) or large (not tapered like the new Nike/Reebok ones) and guys would "hog tie" their jerseys in the back to take up the slack. This actually got so rampant at the high school level-that the NCAA (which a lot of states looked to for guidance) outlawed this practice as it deemed it "obscured the numbers" on the back of the jersey.

That's your obscure lax fashion history lesson for this week.

Next week's lesson will be how to determine what part of NY a player is from based on his socks (or lack there of).

As an aside, MountaineerLax throws out his "Ha Ha's" too liberally.

It's his stomach!!! Ha ha!!!

Huh?

It reminds me of something that would be on an Everybody Loves Raymond episode:

Ray: Dad, can I have a cookie?

Dad: Ask your mutha!

(Cue laugh track)

hey not gonna lie ....still wear board shorts when my athletic ones are too gross to wear...and strappin the back of pinneys is the way to go...keeps them from slippin off the shoulders. Dont believe? try it. its that good. And i was pissed when the ncaa banned it. So at the next recruiting camp i went to we tied up the front. Sure showed then who is boss.

The above statement, to paraphrase Anna Nicole Smith, is "freakin genius!" (I am willing to let the Verybobye-ay Oves-ayl Aymondr-ay slide. Those re-runs can be pervasive).

The OP tries to turn my joke into his joke, when really the joke is on him. But I digress... Some people are born funny. Other post shots at CSU and miss by a mile.

"and strappin the back of pinneys is the way to go...keeps them from slippin off the shoulders."

Or, you can get some shoulders and not have to worry about it; instead of running around the field, with your penny (is it really pronounced "pin-ney" Mr. Forest Gump?) slipped down over the shoulder that you cradle with, looking like an 80's-Corey Haim love interest.

And taping the top "straps" of a penny is completely different than bunching it up in a huge knot in the back, like you are part of Johnny's Cobra-Kai group.


"And i was pissed when the ncaa banned it. So at the next recruiting camp i went to we tied up the front (god helps us). Sure showed then who is boss."......thank you for this bizarre, personal trip down memory lane and your "recruiting camp" story. Are these the same lacrosse camps that all the rest of us went to in the summers? Or are there different ones that you lied to friends about that you were being "recruited" to? Did the coach of these camps come and sit in the stands of a few of your games to recruit you to these summer camps? Letters in the mail, saying that they were interested in you and that you would be a great fit at their camp next year? Maybe highlight videos of campers from the year before?

"hey, not gonna lie" Hey not gonna lie, what are you talking into a microphone? "Hey not gonna lie, tip your waitress on the way out. I'll be here all night."

This showed a lot of things......none of which were that either you, Tony, nor Angela were the "boss"

dtrain34, thank you for that. TJ is kind of and idiot. still love the kid but he has his "special" moments

[dtrain34]

No thanks necessary my friend, the important thing is that you are the President and in control of that motley crew.

I pray that you have a contingency plan in place though that doesn't involve the Madlaxer, cause if something was to happen to you....lacrosse in that entire area might be set back 10 years.

That would be TROUBLE.

[Madlax16]

It was a joke, no need to get all hostile chief. Ill admit, it was in no way funny. It happens. And yes thats what they were called by everyone i played with...pinneys. Didn't say anything to offend anyone just joked around a bit. That was kind of a dick move if you ask me.

Score one for my man from Eau Claire! Tony Clifton is a favourite of mine from way back.

For all you aspiring Shecky Greene's out there:

The first rule of comedy:
You are born funny. You either got it or you don't. It is that simple but still oh so difficult.

Second rule of comedy:
Other people's misery is always funnier than your own. Self-inflicted? All the better.

touche'. valid point.
