    I love scrum-half's (halves?). The only time I scored, I was a forward playing Flanker because our normal flanker, Bob, hurt his back. The University of Houston Scrum-Half got the ball and came around my side of the scrum. I broke off the scrum and accelerated and hit him so hard he almost burst into powder. Of course he was almost exactly half my size and I was pretty fast for my size. I picked up the ball and hit three of the bad guys and took'em across the try line with me. It was awesome.

    So, a toast to Scrum-halves. :beer:

    Aahhhh, youth.

    @ Zebedee-

    Maybe it was the 8-man. It's the guy what picks up the ball after the hooker hooks it. And I can show you the scars on my head from events that could possibly have caused some confusion.

    I bet you could explain NFL football.

    BTW, Buccaneers Rule! (Tampa Bay, not Nulb.)

    Actually Nulb's team is pretty good too. They beat Hommlet last Sunday on the strength of Preston Wetz's 114 yard rushing performance. ;)

    Isn't Bertram Nulb's star Wide Receiver? Best known for his famous double moves:
    :blowme: :dribble:

    Ohh, that is bad... but I can't resist.

    I think so; he's certainly not a 'tight end.' :blush: :no:

    He was until they put him in the spread offense.



    OK, I'm done.
