Conference 7.286::sports_90

    Oh Boy, I'm the FIRST!!!!!!
    
    Haven't been in this position since Sister Rosetta Stone had us
    line up  by size order!!!!
    I'm Kevin Farley, presently a Product Phase Down guru at HLO
    working on shutting down fabs, and playing with field/customer
    service on end-of-life stuff.      
    If the Spirits of Christmas are good to me, I hope to wave
    so-long to the semiconductor operation on the hill.
    
                                                       
    I love Basketball, college in particular and have got to be THE
    BEST fan of St. John's Redmen (GO LOUIEEE!!)  [sorry Phil-I'm older]
    
    Second love is track and field.
                      
    Root for : (besides LOUIEEEE and the gang)

    I'm originally from Long Island, NY but real glad to have moved
    out of that place.  As{bad as Massachusetts is, NY is WORSE!!!!!
    
    Oh yeah, I'm also a non-technoweenie.
    Thanks guys for keeping ::Sports intact.  I love the diverisity
    and would have hated to go note hopping to keep up with all the
    
    battles, jokes, and even occasionally some information (did somebody
    say
    Jim McMhan was traided?)
    
    Happy New year!!!

I'm mostly RON these days. I get most of my Sports info from this file. (I
guess that's why I don't know much for sure :^) ). Mostly here to share a few
laughs and pokes back and forth with my buddies when their/my team (hopefully
thiers) loses.

    Worst thing about SPORTS - See above  :*)
    
    Thanks to JimWa for keeping this conf going.  I really don't know
    what I'd have done if it had died.  Why, I mighta spent all of my

    Paul Yankowskas
    Senior Technical Writer, VMS 
    Work at ZKO (Nashua, NH)
    Live in Methuen, MA (hometown of Steve Bedrosian)
    
    Favorite sports: Baseball, pro football, track and field, bowling,
    horse racing.  As far as hockey and basketball go, I'll watch a Bruins
    or Celtics game if one is on, but don't really follow the NHL or
    NBA as a whole; likewise, I don't follow college sports that closely.
    
    Favorite teams: Baltimore Orioles, New England Patriots, University of
    Lowell (1980 graduate), Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics.
    
    Also root for the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco 49ers,
    and Hartford Whalers whenever they're not playing any of the above
    teams. :-) 
    
    I'm in a couple of DEC rotisserie baseball leagues, FFL A (two seconds
    in three years, maybe next year will be the year), an APBA league
    outside of DEC (my team just qualified for the playoffs for the first
    time in four years), and the Monday Night Industrial Bowling League in
    Nashua (160 average).

    Dick Hamel
    Non-technoweenie
    Telecommunications
    MR1 (Marlboro, MA)
    
    [from the back of the DECnotes Topps card collection] :
    
    ...Dick is mostly a RON/JN, who grew up in New England and is totally
    devoted to the Red Sox, Patriots, Broons, and Celtics (in that order.)
    Consequently, he hates all New York teams, and one LA team.
    
    His playing days behind him, Dick is the quintessential, definitive
    couch potato who is getting a bit sensitive to hear a 34-year old
    ball player referred to as "an old man."  He is also convinced (but
    rightly so) that the best players of all time were Teddy Ballgame,
    Bill Russell, and Bobby Orr.

    Hello everyone. I suppose that I should have started with this but I
    forgot. Ah well here we go. My name is Samantha Patterson.
    
    I am 25 years old and I work as a temporary in England.
    I have strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, I'm 5' 8" tall and weigh
    8 and a half stone. 
    
    My sports are Skiing, both watching and doing, and Tennis which I like
    to watch but am not awfully good at playing. I have a sports mad
    boyfriend who drags me along to Rugby in the winter and Cricket in the
    summer. Actually I don't understand either game too much but it keeps
    him happy.

							-dlp-

Frank,

	I have my handy stone to lb conversion chart, as well. And according to
my calkilutions(tm), we are going to have to get some MEAT on Sam's bones. Babs
has been doing all the cooking lately when she drops in (also she and Kelly are
mad at each other.... warning for  Kelly..... NEVER p*ss off your stunt
double), and she's heading across the big water. Maybe we should get Sam's
address and have Babs stop by for a few days and get some good chow into her?

	o a Junk Noter Extroadinare (just ask Doug Ross about my
	  manly junk noting stats)

	o finally, he doesn't have a manly nickname ;^)


Here's noting with you, kid.

Chainsaw,

	They refuse to talk about it, but Babs is madder'n hell. They spent the
whole weekend making my life miserable, so I left and went skiing ( 20" of
fresh powder. Maybe there is a god ). Evidently they were making a movie or
something, and Kelly decided to play a practical joke. From the various yelling
and name calling, I've determined that the `joke' involved 50 feet of garden
hose, 4000 ping pong balls, several dildos, a mechanical bull, an albanian
dwarf, and a heavy metal album guaranteed by Tipper Gore to play Satanist
messages if played backwards while standing on your head.

Maybe after they calm down I can learn some more. (I understand the albanian
was arrested).

PS I thought Terminus was where they thought the Second Foundation was located.

Go Mule! Wadda Mutant!

    Hi my name is Frank Mendez and have been a "RON" for approximately 5
    years.  I work in remote sales support in Colorado Springs.
    My favorite team in football has been and will always be the San
    Francisco Forty Niners.  I remember the lean years and am now enjoying
    the prosperous years.  I personally believe that Joe Montana is the
    best quarterback in the game today, perhaps ever...  Favorite team in
    baseball was and is the Oakland A's...  Favorite basketball teams are
    Lakers, 76ers (especially my two favorite players Hal Greer and Chet
    Walker) and Chicago Bulls (during Bob Love and Norm Van Lier days).
    
    The only teams that I dislike come from the Boston area such as
    Celtics, Red "flops", and I feel sorry for the patriots.  Oh yeah
    I "hate" those Cheapshot artists the Houston Oilers.  Sure enjoyed what
    the Bengals did to them this past weekend!!!!!

    Broncos, the Yankees, WWF, golf, arena football, the Lakers.
    
    I miss Cousy bwoadcasting the Celtics games on TV. 
    
    I coach my son's basketball team (4th grade level) and have been known
    to umpire during little league.
    
    I enjoy many of the outdoor activities available around here, fishing,
    skiing, and developing a flavor for hunting.
    
    I've been out of NOTES for a while as I've been involved in
    implementing an upgrade to MAXCIM V4.2 in our plant. We're down the
    home stretch now. 
    
    I'll be stocking up on Kim-wipes to clean the coffee off my terminal as
    I get more active in SPORTS! A great way to start the day!
    
    Here's to a good year in SPORTS!

    Looking forward to discussin' stuff with yunz guys. 
    

    Sorry Daniel, but you must've made a mistake.  You can't *really* be
    from Charlotte.  Please correct ASAP.
    
    (I draw this undeniable conclusion based on the fact that you didn't
    list "North Carolina Tar Heels" among either your likes or dislikes. 
    This is one subject true natives (okay, so maybe you're just a
    resident! ;^) ) are NEVER neutral on.
    
    Sincerely,
    
    - ACC Chris

    True.  Location - Charlotte.  Hometown - The Steel City (though that's
    more like the "still" city these days.  That's why I had to move away.)
    
    I used to like Tar Heel hoops until I moved here.  Now I hate ALL ACC
    teams because of the local TV coverage.  The stations are constantly
    pre-empting battles like Syracuse-Georgetown for meaningless games like
    Virginia-Wake Forest or blowouts like Carolina-Clemson.
    
    I just finished reading the Steelers note.  Good rantings there. 
    However, the team of the '90s will not be the Steelers.  It will be the
    Digital softball team, Charlotte City league.  We've taken the
    championship the past two years and are looking good to repeat in the
    coming decade(s).  Besides, the Steelers' schedule is too tough next
    year.  They play all the playoff teams in the regular season.  
    
    So, wish Digital well going into training camp which starts next month. 
    It gets warm early down here.
    
    And by the way, if any of yunz want to address me as Dan, that's fine. 
    I just go by Daniel in the south because I can't stand my nickname
    having two syllables: Da-ayn.
    
    Question: is there a note anywhere that talks about NFL expansion? 
    The Carolinas are a good prospect and it might be an interesting topic if
    there isn't one already.
    
    	--dan, daniel, da-ayn 
    
    
    
    

    Hey Da'yan,
    
    	Bring your vaunted DEC softball team out here to CXO to
    	play the CXO Raiders!  We've won the southwest tourney
    	4 or 5 years in a row.......:^)

    	You'll find that living in Charlotte, the "Big" sport,besides the
    Hornets, is NASCAR! That will pre-empt your T.V. also. Get use to it!

Don't forget NWA Wrasslin, too, B.A. For instance, last week during the
All Madden team show, local CBS had Rick Flair.

    OK, I know I'm about to speak blasphemy in this part of the country,
    but I can think of no "real" sport (unreal sports are wrestling, roller
    derby, etc.) that is more boring than watching a bunch of cars go
    around in a circle.  Well, that used to be the case until...
    
    
    
    ...I heard NASCAR on the radio.  I'd rather listen to a swim meet.
    
    One of the local radio personalities sharing my sentiments summed it up
    like this:  "OK, the people who attend NASCAR say the thing they really
    enjoy are the wrecks.  Now I personally think it's unfair to make the
    slower guys start at the back of the pack.  Why should the fast guys
    get to start up front?  Fans tell me it's because if the slow guys
    started up front, you'd have a huge pile up at the beginning of the
    race.  Well, there you have it.  Let the slow guys start up front, have
    one big wreck, and everyone gets to go home."
    
    Makes sense to me.

    When you start your new life on Feb.11th 1990, I sincerely hope
    you lighten up just a bit.
    
    Stock car racing is most definitely not for everyone as Daniel so
    eloquently pointed out.
    
    I would imagine that a radio broadcast of a stock car race would
    go something like this ...
    
    "And here they come ...
    
    	Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, ...
    
    and they're they go.   Folks, for the best oil in town, it's
    Pennzoil.  That's right, Pennzoil ...
    
    And here they come ...
    
    	Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, ...
    
    and they're they go ..."
    
    I have to confess that after about 3-4 hours of that, I'd be ready
    for a long-term stay in the Betty Ford Clinic.

      Actually, it's the same logic NASCAR uses. Finish last in qualifying
    and you start last in the race. The NBA lets the last pick first. NASCAR
    lets the last go last.

    Saw one.  Hated every minute.  I left when some red neck that had
    crawled out from under his rock started yelling about how the south
    shall rise again and spilled beer all over me.  And this was in
    Pennsylvania!
    
    Perhaps I was too kind before.  When it comes to racing on the radio,
    perhaps I'd rather listen to a chess tourny.

I was born and raised in Connecticut and now I live in Massachusetts.

I like the NY Giants, Celtics, Whalers and have really enjoyed the 
recent success of the 8th ranked UCONN Huskies.

I used to be a big Yankee fan but George Streinbrenner has turned a
once proud franchise into a really pathetic organization, so I'm
just hoping for the day that George sells.  

With that node name there, Jim, we have a perfect nickname all
set...

Jim,

	Don't let the Chainsaw hang Jumpin' Jim on you, or you'll spend the
rest of your life in SPORTS trying to convince people that you're not a
Bandwagon Jumper - or a Wardler (tm).

	However, we already have a JD, so I don't know what you can do.
Maybe  GoWhAlE Jim. (GoWhAlE is the Official Sports name for the Whalers).

Hope This Helps

No, but the girl who sold it to me told me she thought that I was
"pretty rad, eh".  The whistle I have at home, a silver police whistle
with plastic mouthguard for those cold winter days, is really keen though,
actually approaching groovy and cool....

    Hamilton Tiger Cats, Toronto Argonauts, Ottawa Roughriders, Calgary
    Stampeders, British Columbia Lions, Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan
    Roughriders and Winnipeg (mumble) are the teams in the CFL.  The
    Montreal Alouettes/Concorde folded a few years ago.

ever do to you" when I'd rude on his typing...

I, for one, will miss him....

And say, has anyone seen Rass lately?????

    Funny you should mention Ras, C'saw!  I was just thinking about him and

	Well, at the encouragement of one of the respected noters
	in this file, and since I just wrote my first note in this
    	version of Sports, it is time for me to admit that I'm here 
	reading.  (This file is even better than a daily paper.)

	Alison Waskom, lover of sports, watcher of many, player of 
	almost none.  Came here to see what it was all about, stayed 
	for the junk noting.  Some of the most creative and humorous 
	material around is right here.  I wish I had half of y'alls 
	imagination.  Probably won't write much.

	Fun stuff - brought up in the Chicago area.  Therefor a 
	long-time supporter of the Cubs, Bears and Blackhawks.  
	Difficult from a distance - this file has been a help for
	that, also.  Went to Purdue, daughter of a Michigan alum, 
	root for the Big-10 as a reflex action.  My son has played 
	soccer for the last 10 years, with Mom cheering and learning 
	from the sidelines - I hope the US will eventually adopt this
	magnificent game into its repertoire of faithfully followed
	sports.  Currently living in Mass, so when I finally got
	ready to look at basketball wound up adopting the Celts.

	Work stuff - US Customer Services in Westboro.  Doing Data
	Management, which is an arcane way of doing some really
	necessary analysis on what really makes the business tick.

Now Jim,  Ah rezumble that remark!
Actually, maybe you're being a sexist. I knew a guy named Marion, and a Val,
and other names people ordinarily associate the `sound' of with women. Then
a_course, there's always the girls I've known named Bo, Danni, Puff (don't
ask), and of course the Canuck Minx. I think it's up to Alison, an admitted RON
(and I thought lady RONS were WRENS) to settle this sex thing. (PS is it okay
to say sex thing?).

You need a nickname.  While they're not *required* in here, they
do help a lot.

For instance, /Don AXIS::ROBICHAUD is known as the Slasher (or
Rochibaud, or Docker's Don 8^)....

Dan Schneider is Onan Dan (big smilies there Dan Dan)...

Me?  I'm Chainsaw, or simply 'Saw...

So, pick a nickname, and let us know what it is...or else we'll
pick one for ya...

WELCOME ABOARD!  Will you be having beer, or whisky, or both?

WELL!

	Hoist on my own petard! (I was never too sure what that meant, but had
some vague notion of impalement. I looked it up. It means being blown up with
your own bomb [like a sapper might], and the root word is the Latin Peditum,
which means to break wind. Isn't life great!)

	I sped read (spead red? spud rude? spurred dude? Nevah mine) troo parts
of HER note.

I'm Sorry.    Gomen nasai.   Mea Culpa.  And similar sentiments in languages
too numerous to mention. It'll never happen again. I feel just awful. Maybe
I'll lie down for a moment.

A petard was a kind of bomb that you literally used to hoist up
on a tripod like device to the middle of a door.  (Nowadays they
just use plastique).

Anyway, to be hoisted on your own petard was like having the sappers
in Nam turn your Claymores around on you.  Not a fun way to go.

No, Howdy (Doody)(tm) was simply some free association on my part,
in my greeting to Alison.

And, because I feel like the President of the Animal House fraternity
(who gave out secret names)  I'll dub Alison "AJ"
Why?  Why not...

Ah, Shawn...

We know yer just lookin' fer a nickname....

GTI?  As in Fahrvergn�gen?  

'Saw

    Fahrvergnugen (pronounced far-fair-gnu-ghen)- Description of a
    pleasurable sensation experienced when a car and it's driver are in
    mutual harmony; A unique driving experience; Pleasure; Satisfaction; A
    feeling experienced by Volkswagon drivers.
    
    I own a VW and I'll tell ya, having a fahrvergnugen is incredible. 
    Ever since my first fahrvergnugen, I cain't get enough.  Now, I must 
    have at least 1 fahrvergnugen per day!  The best fahrvergnugen I've had
    so far was with this blonde yuppie woman in her Beemer on 495.  Ever
    since that fahrvergnugen, I never leave home without a box of tissues!
    I'm waiting for my first multiple fahrvergnugen which, I believe, I'll
    should be experiencing in a matter of days.  I've heard that it takes
    time to build up to multiple fahrvergnugens.  Maybe I'll run into that
    yuppie Beemer blonde again......

    Favorite Team:  ARSENAL  (for there can be no other)
    		    Current League Champions - until Liverpool get it

Welcome aboard PJ... (who says 'pool fans can't be sociable to
Arsenal fans? 8^))

I think the Reds will get it back.  Haven't seen the tables but I 
know that Liverpool has a couple games in hand...

If I ever get over that way, we'll have to get to a match, and you
can let me buy you an ale afterwards...

Meantime,
Go Liverpool!!! ;^)
'Saw

    You're on, 'Saw....
    
    Next time you're in Britland, we'll see a real 'football' game (i.e.
    with a round ball!!).   And I'll be sure to take you up on that
    pint of ale!!
    
    With two weeks of the season to go, the tables look like this:
    
    			P	W	T	L	Pts
    Liverpool           35	20	10	5	70
    Aston Villa		36	21	5	10	68
    Tottenham		36	18	6	12	60
    Everton		36	17	7	12	58
    Arsenal		35	16	7	12	55
    Chelsea		36	14	12	10	54
    Others....
    
    
    Arsenal were challenging until two weeks ago.  Since then they have
    repeatedly fallen at the final fences.  They lost 1-0 to Aston Villa
    at home to a goal 5 minutes before the final whistle after dominating
    the entire game.  They let Liverpool score with 4 minutes left in
    a game to tie 1-1, and were beaten by Chelsea 1-0 in another game
    that they dominated.  (Before you say it, I'm well aware that if
    we could score some goals earlier in the game, we would be bothered
    by the last minute antics of our opponents!!)  Anyway, since these
    three dreadful games,  the team has given up and were recently beaten
    by lowly Luton Town 2-0.  I guess there is always next season.
    
    And Liverpool,  a great team but....give someone else a
    chance...PLEASE!
    
    Regards,   PJ

�    And Liverpool,  a great team but....give someone else a
�    chance...PLEASE!
    
But PJ, you have to realize that Liverpool is the only team I root
for that could be considered a dynasty!  The Boston Red Sox aren't,
the Hartford Whalers have a dynastic hold on 4th place, but they aren't,
and the NY Giants are in the hunt always but right now San Fran is
the NFL dynasty....

So, I'm content seeing 'pool do well year, after year, after year... 8^)

    Why not "Lightweight" ?  He did refer to himself as such.:):):)

    Thanks for the quick welcome.  Actually, I kind of like the sound of
    "scull", but you can call me anything you want, just leave my mother
    out of this(--just kidding).

    Hey Jeff, when are you getting married?
    
    Lee

    I've been asked to prepare the beachballs for the ushers.
    
    John

    Let's start a pool on the date.  I'd pick Halloween, but it's on
    a Wednesday, so I'll go with Oct 26th, a Friday.
    
    Jeff, will you have anyone there checking that you don't have a
    sticker on your back?
    
    Who's your best man, Bob Stanley?  He'd be a good source for busted
    beach filberts.  Of course, most noters in here would be a good source
    for busted filberts, the plain variety.
    
    Lee

    
    I'll say late October also, since Jeff wouldn't want to chance missing
    the Sox win the World Series.  Imagine the Sox in the seventh game,
    and Jeff standing at the head of the church with a Sony Walkman
    strapped on?  "I do....AWRIGHT!!!! DEWEY HITS ONE!!!!...Oops, sorry
    preacher, what were you saying?"
    
    Let's face it.  The Sox will win the series once in our lifetimes,
    if we are lucky.  You can always get married again.

    Check for the "HELP ME" on the bottom of the shoes too!!!!

Well, I could call in a lot of the IOU's that are owed me
from people in high places.  

If I have to, I can usually find out pretty much *anything* about
*anybody*, and usually fairly inexpensively.

Assuming I call in some markers, and obtain the date, time and place,
what would you all be willing to give me for that info?

You might wanna save those and give them to Jeff for a weddin' present.

   Jeff,

   On behalf of JoJ, I'd like to be the first to offer HUGE Congrats to
   the Bride ( as well as any bridesmaids and Maids of Honor who might
   happen to be in the area ). Should any of these young Pookies start
   pining for the fjords, and need a little cheering up, I would be more
   than willing to help out.

    Jeff, since I know you, I'd like to be the first to offer HUGE
    condolences to the Bride (as well as any women who happen to be
    within a 5 mile radius).  :*)

That's why we're going with a JP, Mark :-).  And Lee, she really does seem to

    Gidday!
    
    My name is Don Casey and I work at Digital's downtown Melbourne office.
    For the uniniated, Melbourne is a city of 2-3 million people which is
    the capital of the state of Victoria which is in the South of mainland
    Australia. I dunnoo, but I suspect I might be the first Aussie to make
    it in here, which is a shame coz think of the hell we'd have raised
    when we won the Americas Cup from you guys way back when.
    
    As to sports, I played baseball when I was younger, also Aussie Rules
    Football till I was about 17-18. These days I cycle a bit ..tourer
    stuff y'know?
    
    Anyway, nice to meet you all.

    P.S. Special thanks to luvly Joann Barrows on WMOIS for leading me to
    the path of righteousness!!!! 

Welcome aboard Don.  We'll throw some shrimp on the barby and 
have a few Fosters for ya...

(Gawd, I'll bet everybody says that to you...)

    Glad to see ya, at this rate your never gonna get any sleep!
    
    Later mate,
    
    Joann

    Don,
    
    Welcome.  I don't think SPORTS was around back in 1983 but if it was,
    most of us probably would have been rooting for Australia to win the
    America's Cup that year.  In fact, I think most of the US except for
    the New York Yacht Club and the Newport, RI area were probably rooting
    for Australia.  The NYYC was and is seen as a bunch of stuffed shirted
    old farts who didn't run the America's Cup in a fair and sporting
    manner and was perfectly happy to keep the sport moored in the 1920s. 
    They didn't even have an organized set of match races to choose a
    defender, their method was extremely haphazard.  Of all the teams
    trying to challenge for the Cup when it was held in Australia, they
    were the only team I was cheering against because it would just end up
    being more of the same.  The only way they can ever defend for the Cup
    again is for the US to lose it and then for a NYYC organized team to
    challenge for it and win.
    
    I really don't care where the Cup ends up in the future as long as it's
    raced in an exciting venue (such as off Freemantle) and as long as the
    NYYC is never the defender again.

I know why JoJ likes Aussie Rules Football. 

Lot's of great crashes and none of that wimpy pads and such.

   Welcome aboard, Mate... `n G'day!

   You'll probably like it in here! Most Americans seem to have an
   affinity for the Aussies (and the Kiwis). [ The Brits just tolerate the
   both of us... think we're a bunch of bloody barbarians... don't cha
   know ]. When I was in the beloved Crotch (U.S.M.C.) we used to love to
   fight with the Aussies. No matter who won, you made some super friends,
   and quickly got down to the serious business of drinking and telling
   huge lies, and looking for Sheilas.

I have a 'rang at home.

Bet most of you didn't know that 'rangs come in left and right
handed models.   They are a bitch to throw and get them to
come back to you.

What I've found is that it's entirely a finesse thing.  If you
throw it too hard, it ain't gonna work.  And it's best
to start on a non-windy day...

I'm gonna move some of this discussion to a new topic, so we

re my buying beer....

Yeah, I like good beer.  I drink my homebrews a lot, but if I had

I'd still buy Jack Daniels.

Fosters is good beer, especially when it comes in those oil cans.

	Just why did they teach 'Waltzin Matilda'? I learned that one too.
And why did they teach us 'What do you do with a drunken sailor'?  Just

                               WALTZING MATILDA

                      by Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson


            Oh there once was a swagman camped in the billabongs,
                     Under the shade of a Coolibah tree;
              And he sang as he looked at the old billy boiling,
                  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

                 *Who'll come a-waltzing Mailda, my darling,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
                  *Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

                Up came the jumback to drink at the waterhole,
               Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee;
              And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-back,
                  "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

                 *Who'll come a-waltzing Mailda, my darling,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
                  *Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

               Up came the squatter a-riding his thoroughbred;
                     Up came policemen - one, two, three.
             "Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?
                   You'll come a-waltzing Mailda with me."

                 *Who'll come a-waltzing Mailda, my darling,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
                  *Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

              Up sprang the swagman and jumped in the waterhole.
                    Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree;
          And his voice can be heard as it sings in the billabongs,
                  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

                 *Who'll come a-waltzing Mailda, my darling,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
                  *Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag,
                   *Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

                                *     *     *

    Can't believe I know this.
    
    More on the Boomerang song.  I think it went something like this:
    
    In the bad back lands of Australia
    many years ago
    the Aborigine tribe was having
    a really big pow-wow.
    
    "We got a lot o' trouble, chief
    on account o' your son Mac."
    "My boy Mac? Why what's wrong with him?"
    "My boomerang won't come back!"
    
    [Then they go through this chorus and bannish him from the tribe. Don't
    remember the verses to well except for when he meets a witch doctor and
    the doctor says....]
    
    "I know what your problem is
    and to you I'm gonna show it.
    If you want your boomerang to come back,
    first you gotta throw it!"
    

    The reason all of us got to learn Waltzing Matilda and Drunken Sailor
    (those verses which are reasonably clean, anyway) and the like in 3rd
    and 4th grade.......
    
    They are folk songs with historical significance, believe it or not,
    used to illustrate how different people in different places do
    different 'stuff', but still manage to have a good time.  And the music
    is easy to learn, like most folk music.
    
    Class dismissed :-)

     I forget how "99 Bottles" goes, Hawk.
    
    Would you mind posting all the words for us?

I can give you the technoweenie version...we do it in hex.


Also, to add to A&W's reason, music teachers also chose songs that
will develop children's sense of rhythm, and over a period of time,
help increase their vocal ranges, through more expansive melodies.

Plus, they're fun songs to act out with kids in the class.  Make 
something fun for a kid, and they tend to remember it and assimilate it.

Drunken Sailor, btw, was a sea chantey, and those songs were used by
sailors when they had to do hard work, like hauling up the anchor chain
and anchor.    

Anyone wanna post the words to "Tie Me Kangaroo Down".  (unless it's
copyrighted, and then you can mail them to me....)


Finally, I'll try Redback if I ever get down under.  I'm workin' on
it, but right now it looks a little slim.....

    HAHAHAHA!!!  As I read through, and sang, 99 Bottles, I was going to
    write a reply to see how many of you freakin' lunatics actually read
    the whole thing, and sang along too!  And then, a couple of you beat me
    to it!  I'm rolling!
    
    Ok, fess up, how many more actually read that whole thing, and sang
    too?  C'mon you read-only's, you too.  C'mon, enter your very first
    note in here......  :-)

Hawk, in the Mini-Helbus(tm) on the way to the mania, we can
sing the hex version while we're sucking down suds.

Course, remembering all that backwards hex stuff after a few beers
can be quite taxing, so we'll probably have to have a couple of
extra beers when we're done to relieve the stress....

If I can find some time to goof off, maybe I'll put in the
Binary Version this afternoon....;^)

'Saw
    

I think this is the binary version:

1 bottle of beer on the wall
1 bottle of beer
Take one down and pass it around
0 bottles of beer on the wall

0 bottles of beer on the wall
0 bottles of beer
Take one down and pass it around
1 bottle of beer on the wall

1 bottle of beer on the wall
1 bottle of beer
Take one down and pass it around
0 bottles of beer on the wall

0 bottles of beer on the wall
0 bottles of beer
Take one down and pass it around
1 bottle of beer on the wall

Jeff, you're too funny.

Actually, I never thought of it that way.  I figured I just
put in all the binary values for all the number.  But, I like
yours better.

In fact, you could drive someone stark raving freakin' lunatic mad
by singing that version.  *AND*, it's easy enough to remember
no matter how drunk you get....

This note is an introduction note.  This Needle guy is introducing

Okay, you guys got me on -1, but it was more of a sin of ommission

I started at 0 and worked up to 99, the *forgot* to go back and

    Someone told me that Mike JN actually looks like Pee Wee Herman.
    
    HTH.

No, actually Mike JN looks like Chuckles the Clown....orange hair,
big red nose, huge feet.....

HTH,

    Obviously I am far too gullible.  Thanks for the warnings and I'll be
    more cautious in the future.

   Don't believe them girlymon backstabbers PaulaSue. Jealousy is a_ugly
   emotion. (Do you seriously think Babs - Kelly Bundy's stunt double -
   would fool around with a Chuckles The Clown lookalike? `NO' he swiftly
   answered his own question! John McEnroe and Peewee Herman are each
   about the size of one of ma laigs! But not as purty.)

   Sorry Lufay, plates just slide right off. However, I once cracked

   that I did it by falling out of a walnut tree should have anything to
   do with it!).

   Ah cain honestly attest to the fack that the lovely and talented Mr.

   semi-toofless Jon Bonjovi (Jon sings better, but Frank drinks more).

re JonBomb(tm)...

Geez, folks, it was the first name that came to mind.  I heard
Blaze of Glory just before I got outta the truck to come into work
and it was right there on the top of the stack.

Also, John Bon Jovi and I are probably at the opposite ends of the
spectrum in terms of looks.  I mean he's a clean-shaven, blond
pretty-boy, while I have dark brown hair, a moustache and have never
been anything remotely resembling a pretty boy...

However, Mike JN *does* look like Chuckles the Clown!

'Saw

BTW, I do like that song Blaze of Glory, and one other of his,
Wanted Dead or Alive.  But I think it's more for the words than
the music.  Both remind me of Bad Company, by Bad Company...

    Karen, thanks.
    
    Mark.

    Hi, my name is Jan Hite and I work in the Order Management Services
    group in Denver, Colorado.  Since I am a Colorado native and an alum of
    the University of Colorado, I support all the teams in Colorado:
    
    				University of Colorado Buffs
    				Air Force "zoomies"
    				CSU Rams
    				Denver Broncos
    				Denver Nuggets
    
    My first and foremost love is the CU Buffs.  I am a season ticket
    holder and go to all their home games and last year's 11-0 season was
    a *dream season* for me and many other Coloradoans.  I went to the
    Orange Bowl in January and am going to Anaheim for the Pigskin Classic
    on August 26 for the Tennessee Game.
    
    My husband is from Tennessee and graduated from UT and ever since we
    got married we have teased about the divorce that would happen if the
    two teams ever played each other.  Well luckily all these years we have
    been joking and there won't be a divorce!
    
    I also am a Bronco fan and am a season ticket holder.  My dad bought
    Bronco Season Tickets in 1969, back in the days when Floyd Little WAS
    the Broncos.  It's been tough being a Bronco fan the last 8 months, but
    I am true blue to my team and am looking forward to football season
    starting.
    
    I also really enjoy horse racing.  My dad was a Racing Commissioner for
    Colorado for many years and as a result I was able to visit many of the
    tracks across the country and even was able to see the Belmont Stakes
    in 1965 when Hail to All won.  Someday I would love to go to the
    Derby.
    
    I hope that Denver will get a major league baseball team.
    
    Regards,
    Jan

   Welcome aboard Jan! We need all the Denver Bronco fans we can get!
   Some of these Bronco Bashers have no sense of humor at all. For
   instance, they think it's funny that the Donks are SO BAD that they get
   wrecked by the Flirty-Niners.... but they can't seem to see the humor
   when the Donks roll over THEIR team (repeatedly).

   Mike JN

    >but they can't seem to see the humor when the Donks roll over THEIR
    >team (repeatedly)
    
    Donks are 1W - 3L against the Raiders the last two years.  Have
    a nice day.

    Hi all,
    looks like we've have another Denver Broncos fan.
    I'm Tina and I work at the Baudshop in Cxo3 in the Springs.
    In addition to the broncos I like: Dalphins, CU Buffs, Aubrun Tigars,               
    Georgia Bulldogs.
      Some baseball, KC Royals, Atlanta and even the Colo. Sprgs. 
    Sky Soxs.
    I also like some of less talked about sports such as, 
                   bodybuilding
                   gymnastics
                   softball
                   track and feild.
    Dislikes: Nebraska cornchunkers.
              
    Laters
    Tina

    JD, hear anything about this story?
    
    A report on the radio this AM was about a guy in the Northwest,
    Seattle I believe, who was stopped at a red light.  He had his windows
    down.  
    
    Some clown rushes over to the passenger side of the car, reaches
    in, and steals a box that was on the seat.
    
    The driver just kinda looked at him and drove off when the light
    changed.  Seems he was gonna dispose of the box, because it was
    full of "doggy doo"!!!  :*)    :*)

    Hi folks
    
    Bill Long here.  Hope to find more info here on the Steelers.  Nobody
    from PTO seems to read the Football Conference(stkcsc::american_football).
             
    I'm from Pittsburgh, but now live in New Hampshire so the news on
    my favorite sports teams is very sparse.  That is unless it happens
    to include Mike "Spanky" Lavalliere, who is from Manchester, New
    Hampshire.
    
    Beat 'em Bucs
    
    Bill

    Welcome aboard, Bill.  
    
    Check out the Steelers note several replies back for info on Steelers
    Digest if you want to get weekly reports on Pittsburgh.
    
    And get ready for some insane comments by a guy named Hal Whitehair.  I
    don't need to say any more except that he's your typical Cleveland fan.
    
    	--dan'l
    
    PS: Did you know Spanky LaValliere was a security guard for Digital in
    Greenville, NC before making it in baseball?

    
    Oh gee, thanks dan'l.....
    
    	I was at a McDonals a couple of weeks ago...I was wearing my
    Browns hat and this guy comes in wearing his Squealer hat...needless
    to say.....he didn't smile at me and I at him.  Everyone in the
    place evacuated!  :-)  We gave each other the evil eye while we
    ate.  
    	I really don't have anyting aginst a Squealer fan...its just
    that they won't give credit when credit is deserved!  ie:  Browns
    stop the Stealers cold....13-3.
    
    	WOOFMAN...leader of the pack!
    

For some reason, Steelers fans and Browns fans remind me of
Wayne's World:

		Pitts. fan:   Way
		Cleve  fan:   No Way
		Pitts. fan:   Way
		Cleve  fan:   No Way

Ad nauseum.....8^)

    Steelers and Browns fans are die-hard fans... much more than 
    can be said about a certain local football team... the Foxboro
    Pastries...!

    
    The Pastries?  Is that because of their great number of turnovers?
    
    -Just wondering
    

    
    No, its because of the holes in it!
    
    roll'en...
    

re Pitts. vs Cleve. fans....

	Oh, I'm not complaining, I just get such a kick out of
	the bitter rivalry.

	I'm a Giants fan, and have never really rooted for the
	Pastries (would that be prune, cherry, or apple?) because
	I was never a fan of the old AFL and just never got into
	it....

    The Pastries should dump Fryar and pick up Baker!

    This pastry talk reminds me.......

    Hal,
    
    I hope you realize that everything said in here is all in good fun. 
    I've got nothing against you nor your team (except maybe their ugly
    uniforms and the city that prefixes their name) ;-}
    
    But I think your comment about not giving credit where credit is due
    goes both ways, so shove it, bub.
    
    Everyone will admit, however, that the NFL would be missing something
    if during realignment they were to choose to split the Browns and
    Steelers up.  It will never happen.   We love to hate each other, but
    at the same time will defend the AFC Central to the death.

    Dan'l, I aggree with ya.  Clevescum and Pittsburgh are close enuf
    geographically that the should stay in the same division.
    
    The Steelers have said that it will save them having their uniforms
    disinfected after the visit to Clevescum eash year and playing on the
    re-claimed sewage painted green they call grass up there.

My mail is routinely carried around in a Boeing 747.  I had
requested a C-5A, but unfortunately the waiting list is long (but

My mail is always on time, and always in good condition, and
is never, ever returned to sender....

Hi,

My name is Linda Stevenson, alias Sherlock..... I work in Littleton, MA with
the great Dinz who has introduced me to this file.  I like sports alot.  My
favorite team used to be the Celtics, back in the days with the great rivalries
with the 76ers... but it seems that things have slowed down with the Celtics
these past few years and my eyes and ears have once again turned to the Bruins.
Wasn't that such a let down last season!  I used to be into the Bruins big time
back in the 70's when Sanderson, Orr, McKenzie etc were there.  The good old 
days.  Anyway, I like to watch the Patriots on Sunday afternoons (even if their
losing 47 to 3 or whatever that outrageous score was last weekend).  I also like
the Red Sox alot.  I put up with alot of #### from the Dinz on liking Boston
teams, so I will need your support once in a while to help ward him off.  

I'd really like to participate in this conference.  It's my first attempt at
input to any of the note files.  I look forward to it!

Sherlock

    

    
    psssst!  Sherlock.....ask Dinz about his Bruins-Whalers bet...
    
    Dickster
    

	Hey Dinz, stop giving Sherlock #### about liking Boston teams, or
you'll never collect on the six I owe you....

	JimH

Dinz.  No... Sh*t... Sherlock...understand?

Sherlock, ask Dinz who he used to root for vehemently back in 1986!
If you'd have cut the boy back then he'd have bled Red Sox Red, not
Yankee blue. 

And again, welcome.  I'll send out some SPORTshrooms for you.  Ask
Dickster or Hawk just how great they are...

later,
'Saw

    Hang on Sherlock, because there are no "sacred cows" in
    sportsnotes....everything gets slammed.  Be ready to push back,
    otherwise you get pushed out.  FYI!
    
    Live from Charger Central.....Glenn

    I think Sherlock  will hold her own well in here, right  linda?
    
    dinz
    

    dinz, we're all pretty much forced to hold our own in here, unless of
    course, we can get our neighbors in adjacent cubes to help hold.....
    
    Hawk

    
    Sherlock, don't take any crap from Dins. I didn't when I had to work
    next door to the mor..er..I..er..mean guy for close to 2 years! 8^)
    Cripes the guy roots for the Whalers over the Bruins, how can anyone
    take him seriously!

�    Cripes the guy roots for the Whalers over the Bruins, how can anyone

Watchit, Steve. 8^)


Anyway, we all hold our own in here.  Of course some are only 
lacquered halfway instead of all the way, and some are not lacquered
at all.

And Sherlock, SPORTS is truly unlike any other conference on the net,
so be aware of that fact when you're in those other conferences.

    Sherlock, don't worry about the Dinz.  He's got enough to do just
    worrying about himself and his teams.
   
    Digger and I have had to put up with him in the past.  When both
    the Dinz and I were in So. Lawrence, he jumped from the Sox to the
    Yankmees.  He even had the audacity to wear a Yankmee hat to work
    one day.  Suddenly, it disappeared.  He looked everywhere, even
    accused me of taking it, while he knew perfectly well that I wouldn't
    touch such a hat unless I had heavy-duty gloves.
    
    Anyway, he finally was told where the hat was.  Sure enough, it
    was hanging in the Ladies Room!  When the door was opened, it could
    be seen way down at the other end.  He was frantic trying to get
    it back.  And, none of the women there would get it back for him!
    Ha ha ha, it was a real panic.
    
    Ask him about the time all his files were erased before his eyes.
    Or the time someone hung a Sox sign on his back.  :*)
    
    Give him a shot for me sometime, will 'ya?

    Hi again,
    
    I know all about the Dinz and his great bet!  I'll be the first to be

    Today is going to be a tough one, those dawn Sox lost again!  
    
    And Lee, we've had similiar experiences here in LTN with Dinz and
    ladies room events.... he must have some hidden desire or something?

    I like Sunday afternoons (and now nights) with my eyes glued to

    Teams that I despise:
    Football: the Fish (I'll never forgive them for beating us 20+ games
              in a row), Bears, Giants, Bengals, Donks.
    Hockey: Bruins, Islanders, Queebs, Flyers (never forgive them for
            beating us in '75).
    
    I work with a fellow sports noter, a Mr. Chainsaw.  It is true what
    they say about him.  I must give him credit though, he only frequents
    upscale pastures.  He does have soft hands, even though he's a rough
    and tough rugby player.  Lanolin will do that, ya know.
    

    I've moved again.  My assignment with MCC in Austin, TX is over and I

    Test Engineering (PATE) in HLO.  As you can see, I'll be doing my

    Dislike: Watching most baseball on TV (too damn slow, but fun to go to
          the park to watch since you can veg, drink beer and eat dogs and
          not miss much), incompetence, attitude problems - like the world
          owes me something since I've had such a hard life! Boo Hoo. So
          sign me for 15 million dollars a game or trade me. Take a hike
          buddy. If life is so bad check out some of the 3rd world
          countries. In fact I voted AGAINST signing McHale for 1 Mil a year.
          No one playing any game should make THAT much money. Oh yea,
          where was I.
    
    	Here's hoping the Celts make it to the finals. If so, here's my
    prediction. Celtics vs Portland - the series goes 7 with Danny Ainge
    hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win the game, and the series!
    Larry Bird talks with Danny during the summer and D.A. makes a
    successful return to Boston for one more championship.
    
    	Although its nice to see the dreaded Lakers floundering, those were
    some awfully exciting series!
