Embarrassingly, I was ejected from a Christian High School basketball tournament once. Ref called a kid on our team for a foul from across the court, another ref being 3 feet away. I said some in appropriate things. I deserved it. I cannot believe how unhinged I was, nor how much of a bad testimony I was.

My wife and I have chosen a seating location far from the baseball field and other fans (even the fans of our own school in some cases) when watching ALAYBOYs varsity games because of all of the stupid chirping that goes on. Of course truth be told, my teacher-wife is glad that I choose that far-away option because if not I would likely also be one of those guys that had to be escorted from the game at some point.

But more often than the umpires getting on my nerves, unfortunately this senior year of ALAYBOYs 13-year run of playing baseball was the epitome of The Bad News Bears, and my long-distance viewing of the game(s) enabled me to not say the things that inevitably blurted from my pie-hole because the horrendously bad plays of ALAYBOYs team-mates. On average they probably made 10-11 errors a game (and this is a varsity squad, not tee-ball or little league). So I developed a system after about 4 games whereby rather than erupting in profanities I made up a silly-word to replace the foul ones I wanted to say. So when a routine fly ball to the second baseman was dropped and then the subsequent scrambling chaos leads him to throw the ball 90 degrees from the intended target, allowing 2 runs to score where there should have been an out, I would simply say gleefully "SNICKLE FRITZ". Magically, everything was suddenly serendipity.
