Just when you though it was safe...


Lobster Dip 5

By the looks of the picture, this year's Lobster Dip was another success. In fact, Scottie and Ted's sheepish look leads me to believe that they may have been enjoying it a little too much. Still, it's all for a good cause.

Fixtures have been updated to reflect recent additions. Hmmm.....that streak of away games reminds me of the Fall. I'm sure Mike will let me know what kind of a streak I remind him of for saying that.

Hills are still being run on Tuesday by J-Wil and company. Only three weeks before indoor practice begins, so if you can't find a hill to run up, then find some stairs.

Speaking of practice, this will begin, I believe, on Wednesday Feb 2nd, @ 8:30 somewhere in Gorham. Which is great, because then I can get home around midnight. As they say at the Guinness factory, "brilliant!".

The recent club meeting seems to have been a productive affair, with a lot of progress on the fundraising and recruitment front. Also, as the club matures, the search is on for a more kid friendly after-match venue, which I happen to think is a pretty good idea. Another person who thinks it's a good idea is Al Parks. So good in fact that I hear he was checking out Chuck E. Cheese's place every day last week. Another 3,000 tickets and he can get plastic snake.

That's all the news that's fit to print, other than to point out that today is January 10th, the day, in 1994, that Lorena Bobit went on trial for severing her husband's penis because he was "selfish" and "failed to give her an orgasm". Yikes, it's a wonder that any of us have penises left! Her husband later turned the incident to his advantage, by landing the starring role in "Frankenpenis", and Lorena was charged several years later with assault for punching her mother in the face while she was watching telly. Phew, I'm glad that turned out alright!

It also happens to be Linda Lovlace's birthday, or it would have been, if she hadn't smashed her car up a few years ago. Linda, who did not appear in "Frankenpenis", did however appear in several movies that contain mature content, and some that even contain animals. Of course, she was able to leave the barnyard behind when she made the big time in her move "Deep Throat", which, as you know, was a political thriller covering the downfall of the Nixon administration. Since she claimed to never have been paid a cent for her work in the movie, Lovlace then went on to change her name and denounce pornography, no doubt in a shallow attempt to grab the media spotlight and appear on Larry King. For shame!
