Good Times at the Kilt!

Romeoville, IL October 21, 2016  Attendance: 23

The young guy locker room guys were all at the kilt with only one guy from the old guy locker room . Beak asked Joe "Drago" Evans where everybody was and he said, "they were talking Politics! I had to get out of there.  I come here to get away from all of the Bull Stuff."  The Czar said that was not true, He said, "Drago was there because he was hungry."  I felt better when Mike told me that, because talking politics is not the Duffer way. I thought some guys were so pissed after talking politics that they never made it to the Kilt.  Mike said that he went straight home after eating a $20 bag of popcorn while drinking 50 cent beers.  The Czar also questioned my math on locker room ages.  I told him when you replace Papa Joe,

Vidas "Formica" Cermarka flew in from Seattle to party with the Duffers. 

Brinks, Frank, Klinger and Thor with Cupcake, Speed Racer, Monet Mike, Brian, and Bear, the Mean age goes way down.  The Bear was late because of a last minute piercing, so his warm ups were at game speed.
 By the time he warmed up, Mini Wheezer scored 3 goals in the first period!  (His daughter Casey was taking "action" pictures for a photography class)  Speed Racer Jeff had 7 assists by the second period, including one to his grandpa Beak.  He fired a 150 foot pass that gave him a break-away goal.  Grandpa Ken spoiled The Anvil's shutout in the second period and V-Man had the other goal scored on the Anvil who was in a Crown Royal zone.  Speed Racer and T&A -had 2 each.  T&A's first goal was assisted by Jeff and the second was assisted by The Czar.  Geno, TO, & Monet Mike also scored for the Reds.  REDS 11 and Whites 2
Memorable Moments

  • The Czar had a Klinger Crash.
  • Vidas "Formica" Cermarka flew in from Seattle.

  • Reds had 5 meaningful goals. The only meaningful player who did not score on the Red team was Harvey.  The Barron stopped him twice and he hit the post once.
Perfect Attendance: Beak, Fruitcake, and Monet Mike. 


Speed Racer and his brother Mike were all smiles.

Drago gets congratulated for his goal.

Drago took Mini Wheezer down for the count.

It was nice to see Vidas again, He said, "I'm in for the next Road trip, When is it?"

Speed Racer and Monet Mike were all smiles. Jeff set up his grandpa Beak's goal.

"I miss the Duffers"

We had a seven Duffers for lunch.

Thanks to Lennie for refereeing.
