4 goals from Beak and Geno!

Romeoville, IL 2/18/2011
Attendance 22
Full Moon Provides Some Fun!

The Duffers have a history of strange games when we have a Full Moon and Friday was no exception.  On April 10, 2009  The Anvil and the Brain stayed home and pulled down all of the shades, while Tweedy and Stump were called on to put an end to the scandalous scoring that was going on.  The 4 games that preceded that 2009 Full Moon saw 62 goals fly into the nets!

The Full Moon Friday in 2009 saw this happen.

 (That is 15.5 goals per game See Stats page)  The Brain stayed home again this week and avoided the latest Full Moon fate, but the Anvil walked under a ladder, broke a mirror, kicked a black cat and went back to his Red Jersey.  He didn't want to test too many superstitions in one night.  The Anvil went on to put on a goalie clinic for all you young hockey players out there.  Tweedy filled in for the Brain, and felt the effects of the Full Moon almost immediately when Beak shot the puck through his pads and the puck went a few inches wide of the right post, where Tommy Z flipped it in to give the Reds an early 1-0  lead.  Beak made it 2-0 when he stick handled past a defenseman (who will go nameless here) and walked in all alone on Tweedy, who was laughing at the guy who got turned inside out by his 70.9 year old Dad.  Dan started to come out and cut down the angle when Beak fired a wrist shot off of the inside of the right post and into the net for a goal.  Geno made it 3-0 on a pass from Mini WheezerThor ruined The Anvil's shut out late in the first period when he fired a flutter blast past Eddie.  Geno closed out the scoring in the first and made it 4-1 with a breakaway goal.  Beak got the only goal of the second period with another bizaro goal that hit Tweedy in the back of the legs then ambled slowly over the goal line.  Mini Wheezer scored on a nice pass from the Bookie to close out the scoring at 6-1, although The Anvil's son, Nick, may have had a goal, but no one replied to Beak's week end e-mail.  It is not easy remembering all of the goals when T&A is out of town.  The Reds got an advantage once Nick showed, so Tweedy faced more rubber than a dead skunk on the freeway for the second week in a row.  Last week he wore Red and watched the Whites pummel him while his team had trouble getting out of the zone.  

There was another Full Moon happening similar to the event in 2009 that inspired the Czar to create the love Guru picture above.  This week Mini Wheezer was hacked by Tumblin Terry, so he hacked him on

the stick and turned Terry's stick blade into firewood.  (See Page 2)

Thor got a free room offer in Pittsburgh from these 2 room mates.

Terry skipped his usual visit to Wild Wings, because he figured Beak would make him smile for a picture with Mini Wheezer, then he would be in another Love Guru picture.  Well, with Photo Shop, you can't escape the wrath of being featured in the Duffer News.  The Reds won all 3 contests.  6-1, 4-1 and 7-2 at Wild Wings, Thor and V-Man were the only White guys to show up at Wild Wings, where several guys were spotted writing down Beak's new found Pedicure Parlor.  

Pedicure = 2 goals 1 assist

With Boris down in Florida beating little Cuban refuges in Tennis and Frank on the IR, Beak was left all alone at Nicks again last Thursday. Actually it worked out OK since there was not an empty table there anyway.  The place was filled with NASCAR fans watching Junior going around in circles (Ovals). Beak had fun and Karen bought him a few beers and let him go into the Orgasmatron beer cooler that may have inspired the electromechanical device that appeared in the 1973 movie Sleeper.
