HEY GRO!!  Now, that wasn't Bud's "t" by chance!

Budcrew, to ZA, the "elders" would be posters such as Holladogg, Lewdogg, RT, Gro,NNR and others who have taught many jeidi's like ZA to survive in the work place, pick up women, understand what a friendasaurus is, and many other life lessons learned here on LL PP......

Man, who hates me so much?  I went from a 37 Karma to a 22?  Did you guys turn on me or are the Rowan posters still lurking?  Tough Crowd.

Can't be the Rowan posters, only JT and maybe one other have enough posts to give or take Karma, besides there are only about eight or nine DJAC posters on the board.  Knightstalker thinks it is the E8 lurkers.

[ACMob]

TheMob believe it's a convert E8 operation headed by "Bud."

[Senor RedTackle]

After careful consideration, the Liberty League Post Patterns Elders would like to extend the head coaching postion for the LL PP Alumni football team to Zachattack22 for when they start their inaugural season next year if he so chooses to accept it.  Note that there are no rules or stipulations that says he cannot be both a coach and player as well.

LD11 seconds the motion and believes RT should lead the recruiting aspect.

RT most definitely will take on the recruiting duties for said Alumni Game....one of RT's greatest (self-proclaimed) gifts in life is his ability to spot the gems through the dust and filth. RT will find the next superstars of PP and pluck them from the doldrums of productive living and put them on the gridiron of verbal wrastlin'.

RT will be a player/recruiter. RT wishes to showcase 12 straight months of physical inactivity supplemented by complete disregard for his diet and ab routine. This will come in handy in the LL alumni game..

.....RT getting nasty looks now from his fiance while she is watching RT work the PP board when she just wants to "snuggle" and watch some weak flick on lifetime. 'Dawg..HELP RT

[Knightstalker]

Gro,
You weren't impressed with Rowan today. Well consume all of this! Today we played on your feild, in conditions that would side for Union, without our all-american QB, all-american D-lineman and without our starting Tailback for most of the game. If this game were played on a nuetral site with all of our players, the game would be a blowout by the first half.

blah blah blah, Gro catches up on the posts and has to read this crap and the 1000 responses. Attention all rowanites... Gro thinks you have a good team, one of the better teams in the east even with your reserve QB and RB in the game. BUT Gro did not see the mythical beast that is known as the doo doo brown profs. Gro has known this for a while since Gro played against (and lost to) The DJAC's finest in 19naughty9.

Gro didn't see rowan being any bigger, more physical, or better coached... the game was pretty even and in the end Rowan out executed the dirty dutchmen.

Bottom line, what you've all been waiting for... is this: The gap between the top team in the east (in Gro's opinion Rowan) down to the almost made it crew (Alfred, RPI, SJF) and all the playoff teams inbetween (minus the NEFC) is very small.  That's all Gro is trying to say.

Knightstalker used Gro's post because he makes a very sane and valid point.  Knightstalker thinks the biggest difference between Rowan and the rest of the East is depth.  Most teams could not lose their starting qb for the last four games or so and keep winning.  Most could not lose their starting tailback and not even lose a step in the running game.

Knightstalker has never seen Union play but will take ZA's word for what he has seen the defense do.  A team has to adjust on both sides of the ball to win, especially at this time of the year.  Rowan has been a well coached team since they started their run as "beast of the east" in the ninties.  knightstalker has seen them play many times against NJAC competition and 99% of the time they do not beat themselves.  This year they hiccuped against WPU, several years ago they had a hiccup against NJCU.  Rowan usually loses to a team that is clearly better or who matchs up with them in both personal and coaching.

Knightstalker volunteers to be the Waterboy for a LL pp team even though he went to an NJAC school.  Knightstalker will ensure the proper mixture of bourbon and water is kept at the correct temperature for maximum effect.  Knightstalker thinks this is how he could best help, his back, knees and left ankle are all shot.  Knightstalker knows a few strippers that would make excellent cheerleaders, and a couple that would probably be willing to be the "Morale Coaches".

[Rolevio]

Due to Rolevio's lack of medical clearance, he will have to go for a role as either waterboy or the guy that holds Coach ZA's headset cord.  As BobbyBoucher already knows the fine art of high quality h20, Rolevio thinks he may be best as headset cord guy, or the guy that paints the lines and logos on the field.  Rolevio thinks he could do a mad monkey stomping a football over the LL logo for the midfield logo.

Rolevio would like to note knightstalker posted while Rolevio was typing his last message.  Rolevio wasn't trying to steal Knightstalker's waterboy thunder.

Rolevio's Idiot Sighting of the Day
Mondays suck.  Mondays after a long weekend suck even more.  Rolevio showed up at work today where it took the boss until lunch to tell Rolevio he had until 4pm to do 2 days worth of work.   As Rolevio still has significant time on his lease, he decided not to thank the boss for waiting 4 hours to tell him when he was sleeping at his desk all morning.   Come 4pm Rolevio is told he needs to make copies and send the work which he did (which was ****ty but done enough to submit) to the client yet didnt tell Rolevio how many copies to make.  Rolevio tried to find out how many copies to make but boss snuck into meeting and wont come out.  Rolevio is then harassed by senior coworker who wants Rolevio to do work when he already declared he had no time at all.

Come  quarter of 5, Post Office is about to close, so Rolevio tosses 3 copies into an envelope and manages to rush to the post office at 10 miles below the speed limit because people don't know how to drive.

Rolevio gets to post office just in time, to find that the two windows are occupied,  the right window is with some clown who wants to ship 30 records, but individually packaged every record despite the fact they were all being shipped to the same place. 

So while that window was busy weighing and printing labels for all 30 records, Rolevio turned to the other window to find a lady with two sons, TRYING TO SHIP LIVESTOCK!  Rolevio has no idea why anyone would think it's a good idea to try to ship livestock overnight, but this lady is in that moronic minority.   

First Rolevio witnessed the lady giving the Postal employee a hard time because she arrived too late to ship livestock overnight.    Then Rolevio witnessed lady giving the postal employee  hard time over the weight of the boxes.  When Potal employee attempted to weight the box, the lady and one son kept tapping the box, because everyone knows you weight things by tapping them from the side so they skip off the platform a little.   Lady said it was to keep the chickens quiet because everyone knows chickens weigh more when they are talking. 

Rolevio then watched as lady gave the employee a hard time over the cost of shipping because with a surplus charge (to handle livestock) she was no longer making money on the deal.  And as everyone knows a local counter worker has the power to change the price a federal beuracracy charges for service.  By the way, it costs about $76 to send 20 pounds of chicken hatchlings from Massachusetts to Arkansaw express delivery.

As a parting amusement, Rolevio couldn't help but openly laugh in her face when the lady had a fit over the fact the USPS doesn't insure livestock shipments.  Apparently she didnt comprehend when you try to overnight or rush a delivery 1500 miles away, they toss the package into a plane cargohold that is unheated and the Postal service wont insure in case the animals freeze in flight.

Rolevio hates people.

[zachattack22]

Don't worry...our team will not need headsets....Two beer cans tied together with string will serve as our communication device.  It works and sends the proper message....We are a throwback team.

We only need football, alcohol and women....(not necessarily in that order, but perhaps so)

And our cheerleaders may never be in SI, but they will be on the net featured at a web address we cannot mention at this time!

And our gaterade bucket will have a little "zing" to it, showcasing the elders knowledge and ability to turn a health drink into something more acceptable to LL PP teams needs.  "Spiking" will go back to its original meaning.

Rolevio...classic post. RT was captivated and amused. Typically, when RT opens up the LL board and his eyes see a post of this length, the hairs on the back of RT's neck go up because he's immediately on the defensive thinking he has to read some treatise by Frank or JT or Frank Uible that includes loads of stats..

RT loves these "life story posts"...RT needs to contribute more of his amusing anctedotes to the board since there seems to be plenty of idocracy that RT is surrounded by every day.

The LL board will now become our forum for human drama in the offseason...

Okie dokie, so the Bus has a great story about stellar customer service.

So the Bus goes down to his local Expo Design Center (subsidiary of Home Depot) to pick up some tile for a bathroom he is remodeling.  Bus walks in the door to the returns/exchanges/will call/pick-up window at 3:09pm on Sunday.  He is currently behind about 3 people in line, but thinks oh no biggie since "all" he is doing is picking up his tile. 

Well the Bus Driver was DEAD wrong.  He waits patiently as the two dim bulbs behind the counter try to help an old lady return her bedspread which didn't match and a really hot babe is trying to return some patio furniture.  Said hot babe paid for merchandise with 300 on "Home Depot" credit card and rest paid with check/cash.  Jim the douche bag clerk returns the entire balance of purchase to her credit card even though the limit on the card is 300 dollars.  Well said babe is not okay with that and wants her money back in CASH.

Jim the douche bag can't figure out how to fix the problem, so he finally gets on the phone with a big wig at the corporate headqtrs in Atlanta to get help on how to solve the god damn problem.  Said hot babe has now been waiting for money back since 2:20pm and still no solution.  Bus is now getting a little tired and anxious from standing up waiting in line for close to 30 mins watching these inept clerks try to "help" customers.

So while Jim the douche bag is on the phone with ATL trying to figure out how to fix his mistake, Brenda the other bozo at the cash register who moves slower than molasses in January says "I am leaving, i need a break".  She proceeds to walk out from behind the cash register leaving NO ONE to help the customers in line which now number at least 10.  Bus and his fellow customers are dumbfounded and further outraged by the lack of Customer Service.

So finally a reinforcement comes and takes my information, prints the sheet and calls for "Diego" to come pick up my order in the warehouse.  Well tick tock, tick tock, i wait 15 more minutes and still no Diego.  Finally they get Jose to go pick up my order who takes his sweet time and puts my tile in a shopping cart where each box prolly weighs 75-80 lbs.  So I load it up and get the hell outta there after over an hour on a Sunday afternoon (when I should be home watching football) waiting in line to pick up tile i had already paid for.

Moral of the Story: Avoid Home Expo Design Centers at all costs...
