Thanks Dom, for posting the match report for Saturday, although I'm not sure why we now have to call him "Long" Jerry McQuenny.

May 18th, sixty-nine years earlier, the former "Interim Administrator" of Arabia, T.E. Lawrence dies from injuries sustained falling off his Brough Superior motorcycle on the backroads around his Dorset home. "Lawrence of Arabia" as he was better known made his reputation while fighting with the Arab troops of Sherif Hussein ibn Ali against the Ottoman Empire during the Great War. Once the Arabian peninsula had been liberated, Lawrence hoped to see a single Arabian nation created, but what do you know, Arabian in-fighting soon cast those hopes asunder.

Wasn't that Carl Marx who said, "history repeats itself, first as tradegy, second as farce..."? If so, then we still have the farce to look forward to.

On to club business. As you may already be aware, we are trying to scare up names of people commited to going to see the Eagles play France in Hartford on July 3rd. Good seats are $42 each, and if we can get 20 or more guys going we get 10% off. Jim Gooch would like you to e-mail him by next Tuesday to let him know if you're in. Expect to cough up the cash a week later.

This Saturday and Sunday is the NERFU Tournament in Newport, RI. At the risk of sounding like a Match Report from the Old Gold Website, good numbers put us in with a great shot of going all the way this year. Worst case, you'll have a hell of a time in the process. So get out to practice this Thursday and shake it like a Polaroid picture.

As Lawrence said:
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. "
Finally some validation for not doing any work. Watch out! I'm dangerous.
