Happy Birthday Papa Joe!

Papa Joe cashed in all of his bonus brownie points on his 78th birthday and headed for the rink.  Joe has been accumulating points since January 1, 2007 when he used all of his points to skate on New Year's Day.  Joe, once known as the Judge and also the Barber*, collects points from his wife for being good and staying out of trouble.  When "The Judge" was an active player, he used to build up enough points every month or so, to go out for a beer after the game.  He tells Beak it is harder to build up points now that he is retired, because 

Papa Joe and Beak sip some Champagne after another 0-0 Meaningful game.

He's always around the house aggravating his wife.  Beak can relate to that, He is just lucky that his wife can't wait for Friday night to get rid of him for 6 hours.  (He's usually gone from 8 until 2 A.M.)  Papa brought 2 cases of "Poison beer" as Brinks referred to it and He had to take most of it home, since no one wanted to feel the wrath of the "MVP Beer Guy".  So we drank Beak's old champagne in real glasses that were sitting in his garage since a 2004 golf outing.  Papa Joe was toasted and roasted until he left.  His son Steve was there to help him carry his illegal Duffer beer back to the car. (See Approved Duffer Beer List) Joe didn't have enough "brownie points" to go to the bar, because his wife was in the stands watching the game while saying the rosary.  She had one frightful moment when Joe stepped on a puck and did a Thor like move, but he regained his balance and composure.  Dee promised God to make a Novena after that move.  Beak presented Papa with 2 balls and a ball holder holster that was also in the 2004 golf outing prize box.  Papa Joe made it onto the Duffer History Page for breaking his own age record!  Congratulations Joe!  Get some more points and come and join us again soon.  The game featured double Meaningful shut outs by The Anvil and the Brain.  There hasn't been a meaningful goal since January 11 when the Whites downed the Reds 2-1.  See the 2008 Stat Sheet.  Reds are leading the Whites by one in both catagories, with 6 Meaningful goals to 5 and the Whites have 31 goals and the Reds have 32 this year.  The Whites got 4 goals from "Hat Trick George"  He had 3 for the Reds last week in his Duffer Début.  Tommy added a few for the Whites as they beat the Reds 6-2.  Scott "The Bookie" Wayne's World scored with 3 seconds left in the first period and Tweedy scored in the final seconds of the game.  The Brain would have had a shut out if we could shorten the periods by a few seconds..
Two Birthday parties in a row, I don't know if we can make it through February.  There are 7 more February Duffer birthdays. Dill Deau 2/8, Butt Head 2/15, Rich Storm 2/19, Frank and  Roger 2/21, Mark Fetting and Beak 2/26  Go To Eddie's Birthday Party
