    Melele ko kwar letok elab aer emman. Men in wot, bar juon allen, Komol...
  • Bulala,

    Why Imiej and Mejrirok? Just wondering.
  • Kitangtang,
    To satisify your wondering, the answer is because these are the places where he used to have "batin" in his younger days. Also he was a very good hitter on home-runs by then.

  • Kitang,
    Good question, but only Jokki can privately answer it. Who knows, maybe in wanted to spread the boknake DNA around the atoll.

  • Ok. Finally, I've found this thread. Ya, I have a lot on my mind that that I want to let out. First thing I want to address: Who in the heck chose those people to be MVPs?! MVP stands for Most Valuable Player Meaning as..Coaches from each team selects a player from other teams, (but not their own) who they (the coach(s) think was the most OUTSTANDING player through out the whole tournament. Not the player who scores the most points in the championship game on the winning team. NO! That's not how it goes.

    Second thing I want to address: Regarding on softball. Please have knowledge of the game. It seemed like no one knew what they were doing especially the umps. Softball is some-what different than baseball! Let's not forget softball is a WOMAN sport!

    Last thing I want to address: PLEASE, and I'm asking nicely, next time we have one of these sporting events, tell the parents to be on the look out of their kids for goodness sakes! I had to step on the breaks one, two many times because out of no where there would be a kid running in front of my car. Let's not be very careless about our kids now!! SAFETY first!!!

    Enough said.
