    Damn, you still owe me and Dinz some pizza and beer at the Elks!  :*)
    
    Where are you going to?  Still in Jersey?
    
    lEe

JoJ.  Jim On Jets.  Jim on Devils.  Jim on Seton Hall (Seething Hell?)
Wardlevane.

Irrevocabley intertwined with the fabric, the very lifeblood, of Sports, 
is a guy we call JoJ.  I read JoJ's notes long before I met him, in fact,
that took about four years from the time I'd first heard of the guy, when
The Dinz asked me to give him membership in the Giants conference.  He
was on PARVAX then (as now), but he didn't do a lot of noting.

Next time I came across JoJ was when I first got into Sports, but lo and
behold, JoJ was in the land of the Rockies, doing support or something
like that.

I think that his stint in Colorado might have affected him, because when
he came back he was a lot more yuppified than one would expect.  Tales
of brie and perrier, golden retrievers, bran cereal, and rollerblades
abounded, and who would have expected that from a Jersey boy.

At any rate, JoJ came home to his roots, home to where he could shout
about DA DEBILS in real life, home to the stink and stench of the oil
refineries, home to the land of "What exit?", home to the land of his
beloved, albeit second-rate, Jets.

And now JoJ has heard another call.  It is a far off call, one that only
someone possessing JoJ's keen hearing would pick up, one that most of
us SPORTS noters have not heard.

Many are called, few are chosen.  JoJ has heard the call, and we wish him
the sincerest luck at being chosen.  As always, there are those who must
remain behind.  There is glory in that too, as there always must be a place
to come home to.  And JoJ knows in his heart that he'll always have a home
in SPORTS.

These days SPORTS is changing.  Some of the old guard have left Gray Havens
and are passing out of Middle Earth (to borrow a phrase from a writer more
skilled than I).  A new breed of noter is emerging, not steeped in the
tradition of the bygone days.  With JoJ's passing from this file, yet
another break with the old traditions is occuring.

Good Luck, and Godspeed, JoJ.  And remember the Scorpions, dude....


Finally, I'd like to propose that JoJ's Jets.Dis be entered in the 
SPORTS HoF, as a sacred piece of the fabric of the SPORTS experience.....


Peace,
Chainsaw

       Wow! JoJ is gonna be a PRIEST!!! 
       Good luck, looks like all the Jest fans are really jumping ship,eh?
                                    Denny

    Gonna miss ya JoJ........Even the Jets newsletter was entertaining.
    
    Have a good life - and remember "Candlepin Roolz!"
    
    RTG

    First Dan, now JimWa.  I guess any chances of having Sox/Yanks Noters
    III are now out the window.
    
    Good Luck, Wardlevane.  And always remember, the Yanks/Jets/Devils/Nets
    still sip.

    Don't let the door slap your ass on the way out.
    
    Mark.

    JOH -
    
    Guess Iwon't bne ciontacting ya about Merck after all ;-)
    
    Good luckand all that rot.  
    
    JD

    
    JoWhoeverisWinningAtTheTime,
    
    	Oh go ahead, let the door hit ya on the way out.  Maybe it'll
    	knock enough sense into you to give up on those glowing, Jersey-
    	swamp teams.
    
    	We'll definitely miss you.  It's always nice to have somebody
    	to pick on. 
    
    	Don't get any on ya..........
    
    	Claybone

    Best of luck Jo*...leave me the keys to the Seton Hall bandwagon before
    you take off.
    
    
    py

    JoSH,
    
    Mixed emotions here, real sorry that you're leaving but hopeing
    you'll make out much better.
    
    Gonna miss your presence, especially in the BE bball note.
    
    You still gonna have the BE tournament "hotel" at your place nexted(tm)
    year?  MikeyC's undoubtedly in a panic mode rightabout now!  
    
    good luck & best wishes,
    Kev
    

    Best wishes Jo*!  At least I had the chance to meet you at CXO-3.
    
    I can also tell you don't read the error logs on your distribution list
    and I'm sure glad you don't ;-)

    Joe -
    
    Best of luck.
    
    
    The file(s) is/are certainly changing - all over the place.  May those
    of us who remain continue the traditions so ably started by others....
    
    A&W

 The heck with him Kev, we're staying at Dan's dorm this year...I heard 
 Columbia girls are the kind that Rodney says "for a 100 dollars will 
 blow your mind"....

 mike

    
    JoJ,
    
    Don't really know you, but the Wardleshooter(tm) is famous!
    
    Best of luck,
    
    Cath

Wait a minute! Has anyone confirmed his leaving the company? This sure
sounds like a TYPICAL Wardle, knee-jerk, reaction to Dan leaving. He's
just trying to see how many of us noters will kiss up to him and say all
kinds of shmaltzy stuff like, good luck and stuff like that. Well not me!
I'm not getting fooled by this feeble attempt of decieved sympathy! No way,
not me. 8^)

Actually Jim, good luck! If in fact you are actually leaving DEC! It's
too bad we never met face to face, but I'll just remember you as I pictured
you in our telephone conversations in Dinsdales office, a wimpy, yuppoid,
faggot that has to tie a 10 lb rock around his waist in a stiff wind so 
that he don't blow away! 

CONGRATS!!!

Sincerely,

Steve  8^)))))))))))))))))))))))))

    So, are you going to tell us where you are going Jim?

    
    How's that Irish saying go.....
    
         May the DEBIL rise to meet you,
         May the wind be at your back
           (as you face the Jersey swamps)
         And may you be in heaven a half-hour before Jimmy Hoffa.
    
                     ....or something like that.
    
    And thanks for all you've done for me, like not putting me on the
    JEST.DIST.  I really appreciate that.
    
    I feel a song coming on...."Where have all the noters gone....."
    
    Dickstah
    

    re:.18
    
    The answer to that question is in reply .9

    Maybe we needs an investigation.  There looks like there could be Noter
    tampering going on.  DEC's account rep for Merck decides to go work for
    Merck.  Hmmmm...

    
    	Let's have a trial!  :*)
    
    	Claybone

Great.  The Yankees suck for just 2 short years and all the Yankee noters can't
take the heat and leave Digital.  Oh well.

Next thing you know, Dinz will be a Red Sox fan again.

;-).

    How can I forget JoJ... good luck...

    re .23
    
    Ah Jeff, I think you've got something on your chin (;-).)
    
    Many 8^)'s
    
    Conan
    

    Maybe I should leave DEC again and make it a threesome!

    I was out of the office all day and didn't get a chance to reply to you
    guys....I'm going to work for Merck, as RTG pointed out. 
    
    FrankWa, thanks for the essay. I did enjoy it.
    
    Digger, you know that I would never pull a stunt like this...8^)
    
    I'm really outta here, no joke. I'll miss alot of you guys. 
    
    BTW - Could somebody ask Jake each week what he thinks of Joe Walton. I'm 
    sure his opinion of Joe will degrade as the season wears on.
    
    
    I'll be in the office tomorrow and will spend some time replying to
    some of the replies made in the topic.
    
    Also, my new job will get me to New England from time to time so
    perhaps we can have some more get togethers.
    
    JoJ
    

    
    >>BTW - Could somebody ask Jake each week what he thinks of Joe Walton. I'm 
    >>sure his opinion of Joe will degrade as the season wears on.
    
    No "O" Joe "Booger" Walton's first string offense is starting to show
    similar colors to lasted year's dismal start, so I don't need any smart
    a$$es asking me my opinion of JW.  (8^0*  (8^)*
    
    Good Luck JoJ, I'll miss the 10 pm newsletters and , yes, the inquiries
    about Joe.
    
    
    JaKe
    

Hey Jake --

What do you think of Joe Walton?????



Enquiring schleps and all that 8^)

    John Boy couldn't score either.
    

    Don't worry JaKe, Walton will only be there 8 years or so...

Ex-DEC quits job to sell drugs ! 

Next on Donahue. 

    I'm gonna miss Joe Wardle...................

    	Hey Jim, next time you're winnin' money at blackjack don't go
    and blow it all on the craps table.  And thanks for those tickets
    at the Medowlands.  I must've lost 10 lbs. just getting to the seat.
    
    				/Don

    JoJ,
    
    Good luck in your new position with Merck.  Hope it works to be a great
    career move.
    
    Take care,
    
    John "D Cowboys" R.

    If JoJ has a going away party, show up three hours late. He did on his
    going away party. Well, on second thought, show up on time. You'll have
    more fun before he gets there. Also, being drunk is the best way to
    handle his KennyO is gawd retoric.
    
    Oh yea...
    Yo JoJ, just cuz yer leaving it don't mean I still won't kick your @$$
    in the W.A.F.F.L.E.
    
    Best of luck and all that drivel.

    I dunno, FrankWa...perhaps they'll call me JoM for Jerck of Merck?
    
    I can't wait to crank up my Jets newsletter at my new job. My mgr is an
    Eagles fan. He'll love it.
    
    Joj
    
    PS - Jesse, I was only 2.5 hours late for my going away party.

    Somebody turned /Don loose with those pharm animals again eh?
                                      Denny

      Good luck to ya JoJ.  Stay away from the touch that turns into tackle
    football;^
    
      Tim

    JoJ, remember my going away party in Morristown?  I dunno which I felt
    worse about.  The way we kept dropping those tequila drinks and all
    that broken glass on the floor during the Friday nite yuppie hour (the
    manager didn't have to be so chippy about it, the unfortunate misunder-
    standing that culiminated in my ripping the front off a poor you-know-
    who's new suit jacket, or the part about that red-haided Irishmain we
    both know and love baiting poor MrT into smashing beer bottles over on
    State Road 24 and having to sneak behind the Patio to hide form the 
    Morristown Po-lice.
    
    True, the womenfolk from the DEC Parsippany office were disgusted with
    us men the following Monday, but at least I didn't have to ever return
    to that office and suffer the nasty rumor mongering that reportedly
    ensued...
    
    MrT

    re: Mr. T
    
    Conan the Librarian is still laughing about him asking you where you
    live so he could drive you home and you not knowing how to get home...
    
    ha ha, you crashed on his couch in your suit and just slept that way
    all night.
    
    Ahhh, those were the good old days.
    
    JoJ

    Conan-the-Librarian, what a guy.  He thanked me for having stopped
    referring to him as "Smokey."  I'll never forget the men's room
    story.  Ever seen a 240 lb. musclemain wearing rimless glasses come
    up to complete strangers begging for mercy saying "that wasn't me
    who did that in there, you cain't put the word out that it was  me
    who did that.  Let's wait here and watch the door and you guys will
    see the REAL culprit emerge, the guy who was in the next stall over."
                                                       
    So we wait for five minutes and no stinker.  JoJ puts a hankerchief
    over his nose and kicks the door open.  Empty.
    
    Haa.
    
    MrT

    Seriously roollliiinnngggg!

    Listen,  
    
     I'm heading out to NYC and will be attending a JESTERS game with JoJ.
    If theres anything, anything at all someone might like to pass along to 
    our PAL I'd be honered to do so !!!
    
    Big Game
    
    
    P.S.  I knew I'd out live that Damn Jets Distribution of His !!
    
    P.P.S.  Anyone Seen DiNzY  (Jim Dinsmore)

    >Somebody stole my name and used it in vain!
    
    So sorry, but JoJ was there when I dubbed the former college 
    offensive tackle (Lafayette) Conan-the-Librarian.  Reason was
    simple: the big guy was a buck stud and a metallurgical engineer
    to boot.
    
    Fwiw, JoJ dubbed *me* Big10 Tom years before I debuted in this
    storied conference.
    
    Big10 Tom

�    Fwiw, JoJ dubbed *me* Big10 Tom years before I debuted in this

�    Big10 Tom

	Best I cain figure MorT is that Jo* gave you that moniker 'cuz that 
must be your hat size, what with that swelled haid you got and all...

				/Don

    While my brain pan is rather large, I sense that you are implying that
    I have a big ego.  This is not so: As I've said in here many many times
    before, I have no ego.  I OD'd on 2400 mikes a windowpane at a love-in
    in Conifer, Colorado many years ago and suffered what the medical people
    diagnosed as "total and irreversible ego loss."  
    
    This is how I was able to become a guru of Objective Analysis: I just 
    have no personal agenda to involve.

	As You drive west on 285 near Evergreen there is a small sign mentioning 
a point of historical significance. As you get closer the wild flowers are far 
more colorful than the others in the area. The sign is is a paisley design
with peace signs etched all over it mentions something about free love and Easy 
Riders forever. As you approach there as usually 40 year olds wandering around 
looking at the site with a lost EGO type look.

Last I heard some Yuppy in a Sabb bought the land and is planning on building a
miniture golf course for the families in the area.
