I just buy the Lobster Chronicles for the articles...I don't care what anybody says...

Apparently it wouldn't take much to confuse a Lobster. Here's a quote from The Lobster Chronicles:

"A lobster's brain is smaller and simpler (in relation to its body mass) than that of nearly any other living thing in which some form of brain resides."

Lobster with the keen eye caught a typo in my message. "Anomoly" should have been "Anomaly". Apologies. From this point forward I will spell check all postings. We wouldn't want a confused lobster on our hands. Dazed maybe, but not confused.

Sucks to hear about the poor turnout, that's a terrible start to the season. Guess I must have ESP because I did know about the training season game but I had family commitments on the Island last weekend. I won't be able to make it this week either due to out of town guests coming to visit, but I swear I'll be there next week. I'm totally itching to play.

Lobster you suck. What did you do with your old pads, throw them away in fear? And what's this about disappearing for the month of October again? That's such an old story, you tell us that every year. Be more original. Even having a baby isn't original since it's your second time around. Say, shouldn't your oldest be about ready to come help Gump serve the Gatorade Plus?

Yeah, putting Gump in charge of liquid refreshment -- that's not a drunken brawl waiting for a place to happen.

Gump should come & serve Gatorade while he's recouping.

Good to hear the season will be starting again. I also was unclear to the official start and couple that with the remaining baseball fall season and I may miss a few more october sundays but will make a return soon.

Gump News - Broken hand from an Ultimate Frisbee Accident - may be sidelined 4-6 more weeks. Cowboy will be attending without his faithfull car pool buddy.

what is an anomoly, Colonel?

Posted by lobsterboy at September 27, 2004 10:59 AM

Wedding on the Island. Sorry. Be there next week.

I have ESP, and I still didn't know about this supposed training camp game.

What the hey!?! I'm w/ PFG, I've been checking the site for weeks, expecting either an update/article or heaven's forbid an EMAIL. No esp on my end either.

Posted by Unabomber at September 27, 2004 01:19 AM

Well, the Play On! tournament was sure fun this weekend.

This week's low turn-out shouldn't worry anyone - it was just a one-week anomoly. Everyone will be back in spades in the next couple of weeks.

PFF makes a good point though. It wasn't really clear when the season would be starting. In fact, I'm still not perfectly clear. When does the non-training camp season actually start? October 3rd, 10th, or 17th?

Posted by The Colonel at September 26, 2004 10:52 PM

training camp? where was the notification? i suppose those of us who don't have esp have to just guess.
by the way, i am equiped with a bionic leg accessory, which can possibly facilitate my participation in hockey this year, strictly as pff. goalie is probably out for sure.
hope to see you next week, barring work.
if next week actually happens. those of you with esp, give me an email...

Posted by pfg at September 26, 2004 10:31 PM

by the way it should read "start of a new season" not "star". The minimal turn-out today has put me in an emotional tailspin...I can't even write properly!

The best type of road-hockey weather, the star of a new season, and only 4 of us showed up...it truly was Road Hockey's darkest day...luckily Wink put the Legend on suicide watch so we called him every hour to make sure he was okay.

Where was everyone?!?!?!?!?!?!
