While we're on the subject of hate....

Dave Mathews Sucks. I just thought of who I really hate. JIMMY BUFFET!!!! Hate hate hate him. Won't drink land shark beer or margeritas. Hate him so much. Best south park episode ever was the AIDS Burger in Paradise Buffet rip. I'll leave a bar without finishing a drink if he comes on.

 

Concerning lacrosse, I don't know aboot the professional level, but I guess they had to come from somewhere, but, yes, all high school and college lacrosse players are pretty much douche bags. Ok, ok there's always exceptions......

They all tend to be from wealthy areas and exemplify the "rich, spoiled vilian" you see in those movies youse guys watch. Entitled, spoiled, and all of that jazz.

Don't they do a lot of raping, too? And then daddy hires the right lawyer, some backdoor deals are made and Connor, Beau and Hunter get off the hook........

Funny you never see any youth from East St. Loius, IL playing lacrosse.

Yeah 90% of college/pro lacrosse guys come from super rich white privileged families who's daddys always got them what they wanted, including getting off of rape charges. Its not that bad down south here considering how overshadowed lacrosse is by football and basketball. But I've had to deal with high school lacrosse kids from raleigh area...those kids really thought their sh*t didn't stink.

 

Dave Matthews definitely sucks but most of Jimmy Buffet's stuff is good.

 

Jeez. Maybe it's changed since I played lacrosse in college in upstate NY? But all the guys were cool, and definitely not rich boys, no way, not any of us. Upstate NY lacrosse, then, was a bunch of hard-drinkin' pot smokin' workin'-class athletic misfits playing a sport that nobody really gave a rat's arse about & that only girlfriends & family would come out to watch. Understandable, since in our home opener in 19** they had to use snowplows to clear the artificial turf so we could roll. Springtime in upstate NY...talk about a misnomer.

Thee was this one Saturday pre-season game where we played a team from the nearby Iroquois rez. They got off their bus, filed in real quiet, none of 'em over 5'7. Built like tanks, all squatty bodies. We had all the lighweight gear, the metal shaft sticks, the lightweight pads. The Iroquois had sticks made from ash trees, really solid, heavy wood. Most had no pads on. Some of our guys kinda snickered.

First face off, I came up with it, started to cradle & look downfield when WHAM! this little dude slammed his stick so hard on my forearms I thought for sure he'd broken my wrist. Talk about a takeaway. With authority. And maybe more than a bit of vengeance, too.

We got destroyed by those guys. DE-stroyed. In the locker room some of us looked like we'd been flogged from all the cross-checking & whipsawing.

It was their game, and they wanted us to know that. Much respect in that handshake line.

When we played in the Dome or at Ithaca, people would come out to watch though. Anyways, America in general has become spoiled rotten, so hearing this about how the lax players are now doesn't surprise me.

 

Apologies for the digression, Seen.

 

LAX war stories.....somebody slash my throat with a longboard fin

 

You're an idiot. Lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet.

 

Hey Yank, I grew up in Syracuse. My school didn't have a team but we played sandlot on weekends with the
Onondaga tribe. Ash sticks no pads. Lots of black and blue fore arms... Good times no rapists...

 

You know what? Lacrosse guys should wear those field hockey skirts that the chicks do. HA, ahh man, that got you guys good on that one. Some of you are probably fuming right now, ha ha ha, fighting the instinct to call mummsy and daddsy to help you out here, just like that college date rape charge you beat.

But ha, daddy can't help you with this. Now, you calm yourselves down before work tomorrow at JP Morgan Chase, and stop sexually harrassing your secretary. Don't worry bros, you still have all your hair and look fantastic. And next weekend is your time to meet up with all the other college jocks and relive your frat boy glory days.

I can imagine playing street hockey with the bros, back in the day, and suggesting we play lacrosse. HA, oh man, they would have thought I was totally fruity. It's ashame I never learned how to ice skate because I would have just retired five years ago from the NHL. Yeah, Claude, I was that good. I'd deke the Sh!t out of all of youse.

 

oh yeah???!!!

 

Im good with anything by burning spear or Israel Vibration. Hate anything pop

 

OH YEAH !!!! A BIG COOL AID, "OH YEAH"

Oh sh!t, is it Kool Aid.......or Cool Aid?

I can't remember, but that dude is awesome, the dude who smashes through walls delivering ice cold refreshment to children. Grape falvored available in East St. Louis, IL..........

Oh no, you didn't.

Oh yes, I did

 

Was this HS or college?

Bear, I always pegged you for a stick ball in the streets kind of guy....

 

Pump, I moved out of the area when I was 4. Returned after a tour of the country at 12. Spent the first 9 months in Yeadon, PA(my grandma's house) while my daddy and mummsy got settled with jobs and got a house in Jersey.

We had just moved from California, where I had started tackling the whitewater at Zuma Beach and for some odd reason, amongst the cholos in Port Hueneme.......that's like Oxnard, dudes. SSL dudes......SSL. My Californian friend and prolific writer, Dale Johnson, has SSL status.

Mummsy and Daddy were cool enough to make moving to Jersey the plan due to my wave obsession. Actually I graduated from whitewater before I left. I caught the wave at the peak and rode straight. And I had more fun than anytime in my life, while Dirty Deeds played on KMET and KLOS....95 and a half KLOS. If I would have stayed in Yeadon I would have died 20 years ago.

In Yeadon, PA(right on the border of SW & W Philly) I did play stickball. Played stickball, dudes. We'd use a hockey stick shaft as our bats. But street hockey was our thang. But I played stickball. But we never played lacrosse. Can you imagine Danny Lee(not Asian Lee) playing lacrosse?

I was also exposed to that 1950's - 1960's city-neighborhood atmosphere that was quickly dying at that time. You guys know, like those movies aboot Brooklyn y'all watch with the close-knit neighborhoods full of guidos and mics.......catholic school.........and rites of passage. Yeah, all of that. Plus we had some A Bronx Tale drama with the newer residents moving in from West Philly. That was always fun.
