My grandaddy taught me that it's low-class to point with your finger. Use a laser pointer w/ one of those cool tips that spells out "I *heart* U".

I don't think you can in softball. Or little league. I don't know about kickball. So it kind of depends.

Hell no you can't steal home in softball. Your drinking rights will be revoked for taking the game too seriously.

So what kind of bullhorns should I put on my Pista?

Oh god. Instant classic!!

Good to know. I wanna join one of the local kickball teams but I think my wife would make me choose between bike polo and kickball. I don't think my wife would let me participate in two dumb sports while she corralled the youngsters.

Go in there and buy a few accessories and at the counter as they're ringing up the sale tell the guy as a matter of factly to throw in that handlebar hanging on that wall like you're buying some condoms.

In the kickball league I play in, all steals are illegal. You can't even lead off.

Superweirdash 09-12-07 01:17 AM

i thought kickball was more of a solo sport, to be honest. i guess it could be considered one on one.

They didn't point back and scream 'hey that dude's stealing a girls bike!'?

MrCjolsen 09-12-07 04:23 AM

OK, I'm totally confused about the OP.

I'm sure that if the shop is real busy, they might not have time to get the ladder and retrieve the bars themselves. You might have to wait. I'm sure that if you are real nice and polite, they'll eventually climb up there and get them for you if the bars are too high to reach.

Getting the ladder yourself, especially without asking, might not make them real happy considering the insurance issues.

urodacus 09-12-07 05:07 AM

why couldn't you steal a good bike? hell, that's not even a pretty colour, and the top tube's all bent up..

Are you thinking of dodgeball? last time I checked kickball was a team sport. Granted the last time I played kickball was about six years ago in high school gym class. But you know whats a really sweet game? four square. that game is the ****.

If you really want those handlebars hanging way up high on the wall, firstly ask to see a Brooks B-17 sadlle, pretend to be interested especially in the Honey colored one. Be sure to comment on the fine craftsmanship and the cool rivets along the back.

Then, right in the middle of the guys sales pitch about how comfortable Brooks saddles are once broken in, and the finer points of Proofriding it religiously every 6 months...haul off and chuck that 2 pound assbeater up at aforementioned handlebars, thus dislodging them from their perch.

As the bars and the Brooks come back down to earth, the sales guy will most likely be more concerned about retrieving the Brooks that has landed down behind the floor pumps along the far wall. As he scampers after it, you can collect your new handlebars and be on your way.
