Does anyone know where the term "black hole" originated as it pertains to postal letterboxing?

It always seemed like a no-brainer to me: matter goes in, and nothing comes back out. Interesting though - I never really thought to wonder how we started using that term. I look forward to the results of your inquiry!

Looks like the first recorded reference was by Lightning Bug back in August, 2004.

Of course "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Classic three way that all survivor players should watch.

Referees are to enforce the rules so the teams may decide the outcome fairly. Classic shirts represents both ends of the spectrum. I would be all for blue and white, purple and gold or just about any other colors for bball. Some sports have gone to a gray shirt (NBA) or an alternate color (soccer) to stand out from the two team colors. Volleyball, tennis, track, and other sports where the officials don't share the field have different needs. VB is white shirt with black short or pants.
