the Anvil, with his white goalie skates blew a one timer past Tweedy.  No problem, Eddie was only 48 and meaningless at that time.  Berserk added a couple of meaningless goals that rattled Tweedy's armor a little.  Then Uncle Bob made a great catch of a pass from Johnny Z that sent him in alone on Tweedy where he beat him to give the Reds a 4-2 meaningless lead.  The Meaningful win still appeared to be secure for the Whites, until Hitman popped in a late goal.  The game ended and the outcome was discussed over several of Perry's beers.  It wasn't until Saturday night when Beak shook the cob webs from his brain and had his computer do the necessary math that declared Eddie a Meaningful Duffer!  His goal gave the Reds a 2-2 tie!    Nuts #&%#*

Going to Denver?
Mike needs $100 now!

Our usual MVP, Brinks, was in Denver serving as the team's traveling secretary.  Brinks has supplied 6 to 7 thousand cans of beer since he joined the Duffers.
Perry "The Flea" Lea stepped up and filled the void left by the traveling Brinks by showing up with a giant cooler of beer.  Perry and Bill By The Way also brought a bag full of Canadian National Railroad treasures for Beaks grandson. 
The game was very unusual and a computer was needed to find the results, because the Duffer Mean age, which is used to determine the meaningful players was challenged.  Beak ran the ages of all dues payers and it came out to be 48.18.  It dropped slightly when Wheezer and Dill Deau were removed from the calculations.  Eddie the Anvil just turned 48.90 this week and that event turned out to be a major factor in this game. 
The Whites jumped off to a quick lead when Fruitcake beat the Brain for an early 1-0 lead.  Klinger added another to put the game out of reach since the Reds only had 2 meaningful players.  (Hitman and Alien)  Tweedy was in complete control, until Eddie

Stump's roll as Goalie in chief has changed slightly since THR surgery.  Rumor has it that goalie selection goes to the highest bidder.  He may be trying to bank roll enough money to rent a road trip goalie.  Maybe one of our Peoria goalies will go to Denver.

There is an entry on the Duffer Calendar for March 7, 2004.  Beak has been involved with the Jim Misiora Day at the Races. He will be twisting arms so that we can have a table full of Duffers at that fun filled event.  For more information, click here. If you can't go to Denver that weekend, He would really appreciate it if you would help him fill one table.

 

I just added a new entry to the History about Bill By the Way and Perry the Flea.
