PERL HAVIN' FUN WITH PUD
(Letter from Phil Perlson to Jon Heller) Pud-I made up a couple
limericks just to prove that I have way too much time on my

a stud...his thing was to spritz, all over big t---, then cover
them melons with mud. There once was a man named Phil, who all
the chicks said was a thrill. The girls said "of course, he's

Okay, new topic...
How about the origin of nicknames? Let's start with Mike
Jacobs, as I gave him his moniker. It was 1978, and I was
running a basketball game in Athletics. There was this dopey
kid with glasses who couldn't dribble, much less make a shot.
Then out of nowhere, he throws in a hook shot from beyond the
free throw line. "MEADOWLARK!" I screamed (as in Harlem
Globetrotter star Meadowlark Lemon). The name stuck, but within
a year the "lark" was somehow dropped, and he became simply
"Meadow". Mike tells me then when he spent time in China,
"Meadow" was what he went by...

Tramp Ball rules
Minking? or Minkin
Jeff L. As someone who logged about as many hours as humanly
possible on those tramps, I'll answer the question I think
you're asking. I think you're referring to Minkin; short for
the "Minkin Rule", named for Mark Minkin I believe (although I
can't claim to know him or to have been around when the rule
was incarnated). I seem to remember a day, circa '72, when much
tramp ball was played without this rule in effect. As a 9
year-old, I remember it being pretty painful. Of course, it
made me vindictive and I was sure to dish out some of that pain
in my older years. While Pud was the most fun on the tramps,
Marks was my favorite target! Fantastic memories. Alas, things
have changed, I jumped on a trampoline about 18 months ago and
had a stiff neck for a week.

Date=2000-02-21
David Raskin, , draskin@uakron.edu, [Msgid=36946]
The Minkin Rule
"The Minkin Rule" simply forbids spiking after bouncing on the
tramp. You can only spike (an overhand throw without an arc)
when you catch the ball and throw it before bouncing.
Date=2000-02-21
Bob Gassel, , dirwuf@aol.com, [Msgid=36950]
The Minkin Rule
Close but not quite. Spiking was always on the No Bounce (in
other words, you couldn't catch the ball, take a leap and plant
the world "VOIT" backwards across someone's forehead (although
Ed Fried and Mike Blechman both accomplished such feats on the
No bounce). The Minkin Rule clarified the fact that you could
only spike the Tramp from which the ball came. It was
established to protect guys like Marksy from people ganging up
on him. Without the Minkin Rule, when Marks took D Tramp,
(after spending 45 minutes in line) The guy in A would call
"starting" and toss a high lob to say Jeff Mossler (in C) Moss
would catch it(high over the net and without a bounce)and
either run Marks right off the tramp or nock his teeth out. In
the old days (before the second set of tramps were built, the
player(s) in A would set the rules. They would announce "One
bounce, you get your down bounce, spiking on the no bounce . .
. the Minkin Rule is in effect, etc. . ." The rules would
change constantly. Over time, the Minkin Rule, as well as
spiking on the no bounce, became standard, as did chasing
Marksy off the tramps.

demi-god soaring over the nets like Tara Lipinski, give us a

Timber confessions
Geez, Carl Bassewitz has the coolest job of anyone. Don't you

How about some Timber confession, huh? Ok, fine then, I'll
start. Once in 1974 or 75, I had one of the nice station wagons
out on Cruiser day. I tried to hit 100 mph on the Airport Rd.
(Roller Coaster Road) Anyway, I bottomed out the car and the
front bumper came loose. But I didn't panic. On my way into
camp, I saw one of the foreign counselors leaving with his kids
on Cruiser Day and the poor guy was driving the old brown beat
up station wagon. Altruistic guy that I am, I offered him the
new car as I was just heading back to camp anyway. You can
guess the rest. The poor guy returned to camp later that
evening with the bumper just about hanging off. He felt awful.
I remember he kept telling Harold that he couldn't understand
how it could have happened. Phew, I'm glad I finaly got that
off my chest. Gotta run and email my buddy Carl about some

Hey, if any of you guys ever get down to Tucson, call me, I'm

H had gotten word that there was some weed in camp and I went
from cabin to cabin confiscating a small portion, er...I mean,
all of the marijuana at camp and dumping it in Lake Towanda.

And by 1980, I'd need Doug David to do the music over the PA
system for OZ.. and would probably need that bike that Rosey
rode in on... Speaking of OZ I was a captain.. or should I say,
a "Brutal Death Monkey"... You know, I never put that one on my
resume..

SPEAKING OF ROZY--
Seeing Rozy ride in on that bike, no doubt, was one of the
hardest, gut-bustin', rib-achin', anal contortion laughs I ever
had on a UN or POW WOW. But even more entertaining (how can one
NOT completely lose it), is seeing this mishugana in the
"Callahan/Heilbronner" camp film, bustin' outta' the lodge
(slamming his Doberman Pinscher head into the door), before
staggering out and snarling before the camera...you mean that
was him on a normal day??

Rozy and Braunie
I've got photos of Rozy and Steve Braun jumping off a cliff at
Cherry Lake up in 'Nada. Esch and I roughed it out. Based on
Rozy's height of about 6', the cliff they jumped off must have
been about 120' high. Both were in hiking boots and cutoffs.
Braun split his shorts wide open. Rozy yelled, "F'ing A" all
the way down, for about 3 or so seconds. No one had checked the
lake in advance to make sure it was deep where they were
jumping. They just concluded that "looks deep." This was the
Canadian where we ate Jim Beam Cobbler for dessert.

Marks=Michael Jordan?
I just caught up on my Timber postings from last week and as
much as I don't want to go back there . . . PK and Marksy leave
me little choice. Minkin (Jeff or Mark) - Hell, I didn't even
know there were two of them. I only knew the first name from
some cabin wall. I was all of 9 years old in 1972, running for
my life every time I saw anyone named Ukman on or near a
trampoline. And as for the size of my butt Mr. Kaufman. YOU
SHOULD SEE IT NOW BABY! Let's just say I'm still trying to grow
into it. Nevertheless, you can bet my fat ass will still fit in
that TS. . . .and Marksy - did you teach Michael Jordan how to
concentrate with his tongue out?
