Fountain of Youth

Does it take a good 30 minutes before you can move around normally in the morning?

Is rock music crap these days?

Do hot high school girls call you "Sir" or "Mister"?

Do you care about what beer you're drinking?

Do you have children of your own (that live with you, and actually call you "Dad")?

Has it turned out that your wife or significant other doesn't actually like rugby?

If you answered "Yes" to two or more of these questions, then this means your are probably an "Old Boy". As such, this probably also means that when you're not stressing about work and the mortgage, your only source of joy (other than hot high school girls) is reminiscing about all those great games of rugby you once played.

Once you were an athlete. A marauding, take-no-prisoners alpha male....and inside you know that you still are.

Well, I have some good news for you. Here at the PRFC laboratories we have developed a time machine capable of transporting you back to those halcyon days when you could play two games, drink all night and still get up by Sunday lunchtime to go out drinking again. Code named "bus trip", this top secret project has breathed new life in to many former players who had previously been devoid of any life signs. Created with copious amounts of alcohol, a house band and even the odd high school girl, this device is guaranteed to transform you in to that beer swilling party animal that you once were - at least for a few shining moments. Of course, once you step outside the aura of the "bus trip", gravity and time take hold again, and the girls go back to calling you "sir".

"Where can I get me some of this 'bus trip'?" I can hear you all yelling. Well hold on there old timer, watch your blood pressure. It just so happens that a fresh shipment of "bus trip" is scheduled to arrive on October 22nd to coincide with an Old Boys game to be played under the lights in Amesbury, MA. In order to accomodate your busy weekend "honey do" list, the "bus trip" will not be administered until 1:30pm, with KO scheduled for approx. 6:30pm, after the A Game.

If you would like to get a prescription for a dose of "bus trip", please e-mail Mike DeSalle or Leo Caouette and let them know about your particular symptoms.

If by chance you are the partner of an "Old Boy" who has stumbled across this post, I want you to look deep in to my eyes and concentrate on the sound of my voice. When I count to three you are going to have no recollection of "bus trip", high school girls or alcohol. In fact, you've been wanting your man to have "a little guy time" lately, and feel he should get out by himself more. While he's gone you're going to go to Victoria's Secret and spend a lot of (your own) money. Three, two, one....you're under.....
