Watchman Digest

“How ’bout them Boys!”

Host: Stan Cox

Larry Fain misses a second, (and hopefully) final week after having oral surgery.  Stan spends time this week exercising his filibuster privileges, and talking about Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, the Dallas Cowboys, two examples of Hollywood immorality (Madonna and Jennifer Aniston), and our smoking (literally) President-elect Barack Obama!  (Note:  There is an occasional “glitch” in the audio, I’m not sure where it came from.  It does not greatly impact the program, just an occasional “click”, but I am aware of it, and I will do some testing to make sure it doesn’t crop up again next week).

“Big Fish in a Small Pond” Syndrome

I want to talk a minute about what I call the Big Fish in the Small Pond syndrome.  I am sure that most of our listeners have heard of this.  Sometimes it can be a cute thing.  Do you notice that babies, no matter how small or young they may be, always want to mother a child smaller or younger than themselves?  I guess it is a natural thing for anyone to want to be the dominant one.  The one in charge.  The one in control.

Sometimes this can be less cute.  When my oldest son was a junior, their basketball team (a team that was not very good, by the way), entered a holiday tournament filled mainly with teams from small private schools.  Early in the tournament our team, which had only won a couple of games all year, played a team that consisted mainly of beginners.  Some of these kids could barely even dribble.  As the game progressed, and our kids got out to a large lead, some of them started to talk trash, and ridicule the other team.  They were acting like they were the best team to ever step on a basketball court, even though a week earlier they were the ones that were being demolished on the court.
