500th Post


Read some sad news this morning. Something I missed from this off season... The Winston Salem Warthogs are no more. (What is a "thog" anyway?) The new team name is the Winston-Salem Dash. The "Dash" comes from the punctuation mark between the two city names (it replaces the space in the old name). How dumb is that?

I managed to find one last black Warthog cap in my size on Amazon. Bought it.

Interesting - reminds me of a girl on the TU softball team whose first name is "L-aa"
How would you pronounce that? Answer will follow in a later post.

After checking the 2009 Golden (shower)Hurricane softball roster, I find no such listing.

I'm guessing (hoping) it's pronounced "Lays".

It is "Ladasha" because as her mother explained: "The Dash is not silent"
I was saving that one for the draft, I'll have to come up with another one.
(and maybe it wasn't softball, I'll have to ask the SID what sport it was).
