Attendance 26

Perfect attendance slips to 4!

Fruit Cake missed his first game of the season.  Only Knarf, Klinger, Stump, and Tommy Z have Perfect Attendance after 7 weeks.  Berserk ended his hold out and we had a good turn out, with 3 sets of wingers and 2 centers on each team.  Nobody told Harvey that he could cut his shifts down to 2 or 3 minutes.  I felt sorry for AJ and Johnny Z, because they were the guys that were following Harvey's shifts.  They only had 1 or 2 shifts in the 3rd period.  If you are in that situation, you will have to do what some Duffers have done in the past.  When Harvey (Or anyone) goes over 4 minutes, just go out there and tap him on the shoulder.  If we have a referee, and he blows the whistle for too many men, that will work too.  Everyone got a big laugh when Beer Nuts' pants fell down in warm ups. 

Rich Storm and the Flea were all smiles with a 4-0 lead in the Third Period.


The Red Bears started the third period with a 4-0 lead on goals by Rich Storm, Mini Wheezer and Tommy Z (2).  The Anvil was kicking everything out, until Berserk finally spoiled the shut out midway through the third period.  Tweedy tried to cheer up his team mates by saying, "At least we don't have to protect the shut out, we won't have to back check anymore."  The next shift, Art blew one past the Anvil to make it 4-2.  The Flea used his hand to try to stop another blast by Art, but it hammered his hand and deflected into the net to make it 4-3!  Mini Wheezer poked one past the Brain to ice the win for the Reds, 5-3.  Stump got a big laugh at the Buffalo Hot Wings bar when he helped Klinger finish a story.  We were talking about how back hand shots are seldom seen.  Beak said, "Except by Johnny Z."  Klinger jumped in and said, "I had a great back hander that just missed beating the goalie tonight!"  Stump asked, "Which goalie, The Brain or The Anvil?"  Basketball Jones nailed his team mate, Harvey in the melon with a slap shot.  That may be the reason Harvey lost track of time during the rest of the game.

When I arrived in the third period, I was told that I missed a "Photo op" belly buster  laugh in the warm ups, when Beer Nuts was skating around with his pants around his ankles.  Thanks to photo Shop, Rich Storm was able to catch the moment.  (Cover your children's eyes and save this one in your secret file) Net Nanny may have me remove this picture to preserve my Web Site Family rating.

Before he was King of the Duffers, He was King of the Road!  He coasted to the finish line with a blown rear end.  He couldn't take a victory lap, so he posed with the flag and called for a tow.  That is a 1962 photo at O'Hare raceway.
