This week Danielle remembered to do something that I personally have intended to do every single week of the season but have forgotten to do every single week of the season. (Even setting phone reminders has not helped the situation, sadly.) \u00a0The thing that she did brought a lot of fun to many BTSHers at the courts, and culminated in me getting Vitamin Water Zero spilled all over the front of my favorite Unicorns shirt. \u00a0It was worth it.
While everyone knows that the 1st rule of lime toss is “always be ready”, perhaps the 1st rule should be “remember to actually bring a lime”.\u00a0
Thank you, from everyone who played lime toss on the sidelines this Sunday, for taking care of the responsibility that myself, Chadwick and Heather A. have been slacking on all season.\u00a0
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said “It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.” I assume that he was referring to bringing a lime. \u00a0This particular little thing earned you the 2nd star this week.<\/p>\n

1st star of the week: The refs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Zebra<\/a><\/p>\n

This was an, umm, strange? week at BTSH. \u00a0I watched a lot of the games and saw that the refs had to make some really difficult decisions, and deal with some things they never should have to deal with. \u00a0I won’t go into all the specifics but at least one ref was pepper sprayed by a player during a game, I heard that one woke up with a horse’s head in their bed, and I know for a fact that at least one of them got farted on (sorry about that, Hopper, I had tacos for lunch). \u00a0While my admiration for the refs is different this year now that they get paid quite a bit more, it is a tough and relatively thankless job nonetheless. \u00a0A job that I have always avoided like the plague. \u00a0They make the tough calls and deal with crap that they shouldn’t have to deal with, week in, week out. A big thank you to all the league’s refs, especially those of you who suffered undue abuse this past Sunday. You handled it with aplomb.
I implore you, be nice to your refs, people. \u00a0They, among other people, keep the league running. Speaking of running – man, those tacos really did a number on my system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
