The Anvil Throttles Thor!

Romeoville, IL
April 5, 2013

Attendance: 24

Two Lines Plus one!
Beak skated over to the Anvil before the game and asked him if he had a shut out last week since nobody claimed any goals.  He said his son, Nick DeJesus, lit him up early and often, then Thor came over and said he had 4 goals too, but he didn't want to brag with an e-mail. Rags reported that the Anvil is having trouble concentrating since Tiger Woods has been seen with his secret love Lindsey Vonn. The game started poorly for the distracted Anvil as Chris "Berserk" Mazurk scored 2 quick goals on the first shift.  

Duffer Stuff was on display. Maybe a fashion show is in order.

Tom "T&A" Ambrosia made it 3-0 a few shifts later.  The score stayed  that way well into the 2nd period as the Brain was up to stopping the many shots that the Reds fired at him. Beak finally beat the Brain with a one-timer when the Czar fired a cross crease pass to him.  Brian slid across quickly and got in front of the Beak Blast, but somehow the puck was able to get through his pads and cross the goal line.  Beak was rotating 3 wingers with Drago and Nick the Prick, so he didn't get a chance to thank the Czar for that pass until a few shifts later.  The Czar said, "What pass?  We scored?" Beak said, "maybe it was a wild shot." The Czar said, "It probably was." That goal started the Red comeback, as Tommy "TZ" Zagorski scored with a tap in of a pass from Nick the Prick who was passing the puck this week. TZ went on to tap in 2 more goals for a Hat trick.  His 3 goals didn't total one meter. (39 inches) I am told that Bill BTW scored a little later, but I missed it because I was talking. Billy "Lil Bill" Conti had many chances to score, but to his credit, he always looked to pass to an old guy.  Thor had many chances, but The Anvil was kicking out every shot that he put on net.  Lil Bill tipped in a low heavy shot from Rags at the point. At first, we thought Brinks got a piece of it, but Brinks said that Billy got it.  That kept the Meaningful score at 1-0.  Lil' Bill scored another goal, but Nick answered those goals with 2 of his own to cement the Red win.  TZ said that he didn't feel bad scoring a hat trick since the Brain was younger than him.   
Reds 7, Whites 5.   Meaningful Score, Reds 1, Whites 0.

  Memorable Moments:

  • Tom O'Connor brought Schlitz  to the Senior locker room.

  • The fundraiser for Rick Dzingel, who is undergoing treatment for cancer was a big success. Thanks for your help.
  • You can send a check made out to Rick Dzingel to West Suburban Bank, 711 S. Westmore Lombard, IL 60148


T&A can show his wife why we call him Berserk!

I was reading some of Yogi's famous quotes; 

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." "Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical."

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious." "How can you hit and think at the same time?"

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken." "I don't know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads." "If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?"

"I never said most of the things I said."

I started thinking about how Thor can come up with gems when he is telling a joke.  Like the Fireman had 2 sons named hose 1 and hose 2.  That was funnier than Hose A and Hose B.  

Infamous Thor Quotes

Thor mentioned Ron Santo's prostate legs.

"Don't talk with your mouth open".....

"After 711 everything changed"

While talking about the beef scare a while back..... Thor said, "Sure, everyone is concerned about getting lazy cow disease."

 "You should be grateful..... don't look a horses ass in the mouth!"

"swelling is caused by inflation"

"Cheater, Cheater, pants on fire!"

When asked if he wanted me to set the alarm.... he said, "no, my eternal clock will wake me."

"Those guys are so stupid. They are always shooting themselves in the ass"

"you can't see that? It's as clear as the bell on your face!"

"Hey, wake up and smell the music!"

AND, I asked Thor if he remembered little Ernest, He said, "oh, yeah, he always had a pierogi in his mouth!"

He got a call when he was on the throne, I told him Klinger is on the phone and He said, Tell him I'm on the crown!
