You dog...I know who that is.

- Thread starter GrizzlyDevil
- Start date
So you prefer to play ER and Reidsville as opposed to Burns and Shelby... gotcha
That is awesome archival evidence of an oft' repeated story!
Wonder who had that idea? Was it AMD?
Yes, my friend, as for me, I’d just as soon stick with the hand we’ve been dealt.
@Shelby Lion repeats the story every year. Usually earlier than this point, but he's good for telling that story ......every season, like the Ruddolph Rednose Reign deer claymation tv movie.
Hey @Chopper747 I got a story for you Pappy, well its actually a magic trick... I hope you enjoy bud

Dear Lord, I'll have to go by Academy Sports and get a referee shirt, hat, whistle and flag now, just to get through lunch!
Well after Delousing myself with kerosene and mustard paste I made it home after the meet and greet !
Always a good afternoon seeing the gang and sharing stories and by the end of the meal it’s usually a free for all pick on Shelby Lion fest ! Today was no different and I enjoyed it
Thanks to following for a great afternoon

Good meal and good fellowship. I do believe we have totally screwed up the brackets, confused Tom to the point of no return on the RPI and told a few more fibs!
Just so we're clear...you upped your claim at the table...he said Shelby by 40!
Everyone laughed. Glad we kept it civil...chicken livers are way too good to get kicked out and banned for life.
I wanted Shelby Lion to tell you how to make liver mush out of those chicken livers. Maybe next time. I heard the 40 point boast as well. I swear the man keeps you on your toes and you never know what he may say next.
Well, I was going to leave it at 40, but since Grizz showed up and kicked me out of the youngest of the bunch its been risen to 44.5 now.....
Well wait any one that eats french dressing on a side salad *cough Maiden Creek * means another 5.5 points added so now its Shelby by 50 AT LEAST....
I asked Creek did he usually carry his French dressing in his purse and he gave me that I am about to punch you look so I knew then when to shut up....
That also reminds me when Grizz came in the door lookiing like a cross between Grizzly Adams and Braun Strowman I knew then "Dont make this dude mad or say amything too stupid" I didnt want my dental plan enacted today so I was on "decent behavior"
Great fun with great people,, thanks for allowing me to join all you old geezers....
Oddly enough I've lifted with Braun Strowman (Adam) a few times in Denver right before he started strongman years ago.Well, I was going to leave it at 40, but since Grizz showed up and kicked me out of the youngest of the bunch its been risen to 44.5 now.....

Has anyone confirmed Lincolnton made it home from Charlotte or did he end up around Fuquay Varina? You ok JD?????
Lol I believe he's fine I talked to him earlier
My daughter’s old travel team practiced at Howard’s Furniture where Adam’s dad hit all the bombs. Ole Crusher. The dents are still in the building.
You beat me to it. His dad was a legend to me. I remember I would check the old Lincoln Times to see how the team did. We need an ESPN 30 for 30 on Howard’s Furniture.
If in Fuquay-Varina I got some connections with the State Troopers in that area along I-40 and I-95.

We had Poindexter Lumber company team In our area. Those guys could hit mush balls out
I once entered a Class D softball tournament. I put together a team. Had dudes from Black Mountain, Smithfield, and Cheraw, SC. Even had some guys from California and Texas on it. We had speed all over the place and gloves like Brooks Robinson. It was amazing to watch. We beat the brakes off a team from Norfolk. As a result, we got kicked out because apparently you could not enter an "all-star" team in the tournament and this one team we had played against ratted us out. I know for a fact I did not read the entry rules. We only had one practice and half the team didn't even show up for the one practice. I haven't played much since then. Some of us still talk about that day and team.
I remember a tournament in Burlington with Howard’s and Poindexter. Believe the third monster team was Piedmont Sheet Metal. Made me feel like a little leaguer😂.
Piedmont was good too. We have a local guy here in king BJ Fulk that has bats with his name on it. On YouTube they were hitting them out of Atlanta stadium. The equipment is different now. The guy I knew that was catcher for Poindexter was 6'7 350. He was left handed and could hit it out to any field.
They were probably the only class A teams in the state
Thank you my friend, I'm good. I'm awfully sorry I couldn't join you. If I could have it would've been character building for me, and I sure need it. Got to say, I did have this awful compulsion to go north on I-85 but managed to resist it.
LHSfaninVA, I wouldn't be surprised if you have connections in all states and some continents, too. Glad you're from Lincolnton.
When I played rec ball we would practice in that field. Hard to believe Howard's Furniture is now torn down.
King ...I thought you were their King!...duh...you are one of them, from King!
Well, I guess you could be both?
Never been to Maiden but was at the East Surry Maiden game few years ago
You arent one of them after all! Just their King! (From King)
Thats even better!!
