December 07, 2003Happy, happy day for road hockeyThe ironman streak is gone. The Shangrila streak is at one. It was a happy, happy day for road hockey Sunday, as the roadsters shared hot dogs and Krispy Kreme donuts, along with guzzling a few beers, after a hard-fought, entertaining 20-15 contest. Oddly enough, the game's most devoted supporter and senior player, the Living Legend, wasn't on hand for one of its grander days. He was tending to a personal situation, and that ended his ironman streak at a reported 223 games. "It was strange for him to not be there," said Wink, the only other player remaining from the game's early days at the tennis courts. "There was something missing. "But guys really did pick up the slack." They certainly did. There was a fear that the contest would be filled with donnybrooks, melees, brouhahas or other really cool words meaning fights, thanks to the plethora of trash talk on the league web site. The barking and banter even led to a beer challenge between Ottoman and Colonel; Colonel would get a brewski for every goal he scored on Ottoman, and Ottoman would get two road pops for every marker his team won by. Obviously touched by the pending nuptials for Trista and Ryan, both Ottoman and Colonel showed up in good spirits. Colonel brought a BBQ and the dogs and Ottoman showed up with the donuts, and both brought gallons of beer. "I was a little worried that something bad was going to happen," Lak told Wink, not knowing that he was going to be quoted for this story. "But everything turned out just fine." Other highlights included Wink passing to New Guy, even though New Guy pissed him off, and Unabomber explaining that Guinness beer is a breakfast supplement.

there is something wrong with the search engine, when I typed in 'goon', there were no results--no wink, no gong show, no philderama, no Bird... Posted by: lobsterboy at December 10, 2003 03:42 PMWait until you get some more of the Colonel's French.... Posted by: Wink at December 9, 2003 11:44 AMWow, Colonel said "nay" and "betwixt" in the same rant. Good to see someone raising the level of discourse in these Comments... Posted by: Living Legend at December 9, 2003 10:14 AMIt is true, Beetle's nose has always been that slight shade of brown. Even as a small child he spent more time kissing up than putting in an honest day's work. Perhaps it would be more fitting for him to wear the nick name "Dung Beetle." Having said that, who is Bulldog to comment? These accusations come from the safety of his part-time abode an entire coast away. They come from a man, nay a DOG, who is yet to play a game this year. Tis' no wonder he is still absorbed in last year's woeful Stanley Stick loss to the Beetle. DOG, it is time for you to either put up or shut up and retreat with your tail betwixt your hindquarters. Posted by: The Colonel at December 9, 2003 09:27 AMI have to agree with Elvis, Beetle "skippy" Boy's ass kiss post has to be addressed. Will this get him more "face time" with the commissioner? More quotes for the media whore, I mean darling of Road Hockey Illustrated? Beetle Boy, you won the MVP, the voting is closed. There is no need to lessen the title by sporting a brown nose. Besides, Wink is merely a puppet. Posted by: Bulldog at December 9, 2003 08:09 AMNote to Kid...hard words you may not know... SHANGRI-LA: a beautiful, imaginary place where life approaches perfection. Posted by: Wink at December 8, 2003 02:21 PMSomewhere, the Legend is really, really pissed about what's gone on while he's away... Posted by: Wink at December 8, 2003 02:17 PMI'm in shock, nay, almost tears. How could my own family member pull off something like this. He signs his inflammatory "post" as PaulOne and then changes his handle from "lobsterboy" to "LobsterBoy" to throw people of the scent. If he wants to unseat the commissioner he should at least have the balls to do it under his own name I say to Lobsterweenie, I'm boiling the water and melting the butter. Next Sun it's not beer and dogs, look forward to Lobster tail and wine. P.s. Have a look at LB's post in the "PFG BACK IN STY" area, it's bizarre. paulone Thanks Elvis for the defense on the court and the internet. Players should not be allowed to post things under other players' aliases. But the worst part, is that Paul One signs his name on the fake post.. . Posted by: lobsterboy at December 8, 2003 12:22 PMAlright - Since when does Lobsterboy post as 'LobsterBoy' ...and sign as Paul One no less? I know you're family, but I smell an imposter! Beetleboy, that was the biggest suck-up post Ive read this year. Were you skipping around your computer when you were thinking about that one? And Kid doesn't have to worry about me going after his Mom since...wait wait wait. That would be too easy...and shame on you Wink, Una, and Beetle for trying to start a war of words between the two of us when its obvious the Kid is illiterate. Have a little compassion for those less-fortunate individuals, that didn't get the same opportunities for an education that you all did. Geez This week's story was riveting. Now that's writing. Suspense, humor, facts and insightful comments, it had everything. Interestingly the game also had everything; stellar plays, good sportsmanship and unprecedented off court camaraderie. I wonder,,,,what was different this week from the previous 232. Can anyone say coup d'etat. Death to the oppressive dictator. Long live the populist Wink. Paul One Posted by: LobsterBoy at December 8, 2003 10:06 AMI'm tellin' ya Wink its no joke. Just to prove it I'll pound back a 6-pack of Guiness before next Sunday's match then you'll see some action. PS Speaking of "action" ....Kid, I'd keep an eye on your mom before Elvis leaves the building. Posted by: Unabomber at December 8, 2003 01:31 AMI think Kid should be more worried about his alcohol problem than with Elvis scoring with his Mom. How many beers did he have? Did anyone ID him? Posted by: Beetle Boy at December 8, 2003 12:47 AMThanks to Wink for posting this week's story. Although we really missed our leader, this week's game was one of the most intense non-Stanley Stick games that I've played in since joining Road Hockey almost three years ago. A great game plus BBQ, Beer and Krispy Kremes....it's a sign I should play in wet weather more often. Cheers to the Colonel and Otto for bringing the treats.
