HOT OFF THE PRESS!

Our Blog
I love it. I'm in the newspaper. And it's not about a missed call. Or a rule I misinterpreted. My local paper runs a who's who in town article every week and they picked little old me.
It started out as an article about just my Web comic and turned into an article about the WNBA. I get some major airplay about my strip. It's in the PTW Sport section of the Parsippany this Week. Check it out: www.parsippanythisweek.com

THE UNDERWEAR DUDE

J-WARE is underwear created by textile experts from the University of Tokyo. One of the astronauts of the Space Shuttle has the pleasure of sporting this odor–free garment. This underwear is designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. It's also flame-resistant and anti–static proof. Not to mention it's comfortable and stylish. (yea right)

This underwear is designed to be worn for an entire week.

After reading this I know that three quarters of the men on the planet are cheering and all woman of the world are screaming. Unless my water at my home mysteriously shuts off, a nuclear disaster, or Nostradamus' end of the world prediction comes true, I can't think of any reason to wear the same underwear two days in a row. Let alone a week.

Unfortunately, there's some referees out there in love with this product and its not even in stores yet.
I can referee three games with the same underwear! Watch out!
I know, I know, I hate that visual.

When I first read about this astronaut, I felt sorry for him. Then I saw his picture before he got on the space shuttle. He had this huge smile from ear to ear. He's either real happy or can't wait to get on the space shuttle so he can scratch. In my eyes he'll forever be known as the Underwear Dude." If someone sees him in the airport, people won't say, "There's the Space Shuttle Astronaut." They'll say, "That's the Underwear Dude." At the mall, "That's the Underwear Dude." At the local bodega, "That's the Underwear Dude."

Damn

LBA, Leader of the Bonehead Association

Our Blog
Being the basketball junkie that I am, I decided to help a buddy out and referee the local men's league. Mistake number one: Never, ever, ever, ever, work the local men's league during the season.

Introducing the LBA, Leader of the Bonehead Association. This is the local cat that complains at the jump ball that I didn't toss the ball high enough. And yes, his team gets the first possession of the jump ball. He's the cat who murmurs under his breath the whole game. He's the dude who gets a technical foul 5-10 minutes into the game. And yes, he can't play. Not even a little bit.
A few of the guys who play know I work the WNBA. They're good dudes but I wish they wouldn't tell captain LBA (Leader of the Bonehead Association) that I work in the WNBA. The first thing Mr. LBA complains about when he trips over his shoelaces is, "This is a man's game". He says this with a whine and a smirk, and under his breath. I'm good at ignoring stuff but every so often the little demon gets on my shoulder and has to mess my flow up. So on this wonderful occasion, Mr. LBA pulled my last nerve. With four minutes remaining and his team down 25 he found the opportunity to talk under his breath. "This isn't woman's basketball". All of a sudden the little demon on my shoulder grabbed my vocal cords in his little hand and forced me to blurt out. "You're right because Candace Parker would have dunked on you and would have told your momma and little girlfriend how you cried like a..." And then I yanked the demon off my neck.

At home, I look forward to telling my lovely wife about this great day in sports. She'll roll her eyes and probably tell me to avoid that league.

I won't tell her about the ejection and the almost fight.

Happy New Year

Our Blog
I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday season. ItÕs been a while since IÕve posted on my blog. No I havenÕt forgotten. I could do like the airlines and use the economy as an excuse for why something isnÕt done. But the truth is, I just needed to enjoy my holiday. I also didnÕt want my web comic quality to suffer. As much as I enjoy writing in my blog, my webcomic is what you want to see. If that crashes, so does my website.

New things will be happening this year for Fouls and Violations. I look forward to selling t-shirts on my site. If you have suggestions please drop me a line at kevin@foulsandviolations.net. IÕm also looking forward to the first Fouls and Violations book.

Please keep logging on.
