We could use the above picture for the
Kings Meaningless trophy
Bill Allen came out late as usual and the location of the White (Home Team) bench which is closest to the locker room, gives the home team a real advantage. They get the first right of refusal, which means that Alien doesn’t need a White jersey ever!  Bill put on a blue jersey then promptly scored a first period goal.  Brinks Granato scored a goal in the second period to save the day for the Whites, then he bought everyone a Strohs after the game.  Thanks Don!!  The meaningful score stayed at 1-1 as the meaningless contest really heated up with a pair of goals by Stump and Tweedy for the Home team, while Butt head and Berserk kept the Blues in the game.  Doc ended the suspense when he beat the Anvil in the final minute of the game for a 6-4 win for the Ghost and the Whites.
Correction! Add 57 goals to the Final score
Last week we reported that Harvey had the only meaningful goal, but Fred scored the 8th goal of the game and it was completely forgoten.  How could Beak forget a Bobka factor goal, that calculates out to a score of 64 (8 squared)?  You have to know Beak to answer this question.  If he is on the ice, he usually sees the goals and remembers some of them in.  If he is on the bench, he is busy telling stories, so you have to go to Henrys’after the game and enter the goal into the virtual reality section of his brain.  then it will show up in a newsletter.  That is how Beak found out about the Bobka goal.  Cougenhour poured Beak a tall one and said, “Hey! you really got Fruit Cake mad today when you didn’t mention his goal.”
So if you want to see your name in the Duffer News and on the Duffer Web page, you know what to do.  Show up at Henrys’, get Beak a glass and start pouring.  You don’t have to buy a beer any more, so it is easy.  Speaking of easy, we have quite a sum of left over money from overpayments.  Regulars at Henrys’ may have enough for a trip to Peoria soon.
 The Tweedy shed party on Sunday October 3, is hinging on the weather.  Call before you come out at 10:00.
