The topic title is a quote from Christmas Vacation . 

Obviously I'm new to the site. Joined last week and quickly lost 2 or 3 hours reading different post in various categories. So much great info on here, and way more interesting than digging thru any rule book. 

I've umpired on and off for 10-15 years, small town city league, but it's only been the last 3 that I have actually started to get serious about it. I moved to Northwest Arkansas and somehow met the right people in our small little umpiring world. I was blown away by their professionalism, and willingness to teach a total stranger everything they had to share. 

Fast forward 3 years, several hundred league and U-Trip games combined and I just completed my first HS season. I know that most, if not all of the questions asked on here can be looked up in a rule book, there's just something about being able to ask a question and getting the same answer but from different points of views that has me hooked. 

I'm looking forward to asking dumb questions and getting sarcastic answers. Wait, that's not right. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends.
