Player Experience - Spring 2004

Butler Bashing!

• "My dream to become the Joe Potts of A league was dishearteningly shattered in the last game of the last match of the playoffs by the evil Darth Gillick!!!" -- Steve Butler

Interesting comparison.  Steve does yell, roar, carry on, complain about every call, bawl-out teammates, turn red, gyrate, agitate and put on quite a show during his hour on the court each week.  Who does that sound like?  I think we can safely call Steve Butler the "Joe Potts of A league"... except without the winning thing!  (Glad I could help restore order to the galaxy last season!)
 
• "Butler yelled at me. I yelled back. We dueled with pistols at dawn. I shot him in the head. He shot me in the buttocks. I think it was a draw (so to speak). Then, on a dark and stormy night, I was visited by the ghost of Christmas future and he showed me a world where there was no Butler and I was sad. So I pledged not to burn down his house nor steal his can of Red Bull. The volleyball world rejoiced and it was good." -- Ron Thompson

I had to really think about this one.  A world without Butler... what would that be like?  A world where women were once again valued on the volleyball court and men could play freely without threat of being called a shanking-*&^%%#.  Hmm... enticing as this may sound, I will join with Ronnie-T and say this would be sad.  You see, I beleive that for good to really shine through there must be a clear evil present.  Mr. Butler does serve a purpose after all :-)

• "Want to play with Michael Smith." -- Dao Smith

I presume that is why you married him.  Now what does this have to do with volleyball?
 
• "I left my knees at the Corner Kick." -- Paul Finver

My knees don't miss "The Kick", but my liver misses it badly!!!
 
• "Well, there was this one time at Band Camp�uh, that wasn't volleyball.  Sorry."  -- Micah Hoffman

OK!  Since Micah went there... here's the unedited quote: Band Camp.  Ahh... what the heck, here's some more: Say My Name, Used, Stiffler's Mom
 
• "Almost completed many 12 step programs.  Still performs own stunts.  Floatation devices at sea have become pointless, as I have developed a stone-like body density.  Teammates should start wearing something lucky." -- John Gartner

Another reason why the Webmaster is also a team captain.  It keeps me off Gartner's team :-)

• "My brain hurts too much to come up with something witty.  Maybe I should start using my hands to block instead of my face." -- Paul Dethlefsen

 
• "I just can't think of anything funny at the moment.  I guess I really should plan ahead for filling out the form." -- Dan Leeds

 
• "Sorry, can't think of anything snappy this time." -- Llerena Isabel

Misc:

"Experienced at baking for my team and stressing about whether my players will show." -- Christina Wu

Ooooh!!! Draft me!!!  I you're baking before games, I promise I will show up early :-)
 

Esboçando me a sua equipe traduz à vitória! Segundo lugar em BB dois anos em uma fileira. (courtesy of babelfish.altavista.com)" -- Fred Robinson

Hmm... something about not being equipped to lead his team to victory!  Second place in BB two years in a row.  Translated to Portuguese.  Ay carumba!
