The Rivermen were red hot, they were going for their
10th straight win on Friday as they battled The New Orleans Brass (22-13-5).
The Duffers arrived in town to bring them good luck. The Duffers
have never seen the Rivermen lose. A close look at the roster shows
that the Alien never went on any of the other trips, so it is easy to jump
to conclusions and blame him for stopping the winning streak. We
won't tell Bill that the Sharks flew in 3 of their top prospects to help
the Brass down the Rivermen, it is more fun blaming the Alien for the loss.
The 18 Duffers helped boost the attendance over 5000. They only would
have had 4989 if we had stayed home.
The Mighty Ducks also flew in a “Gun” to help Dayton
on Saturday, but it backfired as the goon was ejected when he got into
a fight on his first shift and the Rivermen won 3-2, as they held their
opponents to a record low 16 shots on goal. Alien went back to Chicago
to meet with Magoo. Magoo turned down a trip to Peoria because he
had a meeting with the Alien. Are you confused yet? I’ll stop
after one more Alien tale. Alien called Beak on Thursday night in a panic,
because he couldn’t find a room in Peoria. Bill hasn’t been on a
trip since the 3 legged dog chased him in Dubuque

The King was able to reserve the last 7 rooms in Peoria with
King sized beds, at a slightly higher rate, but the cost included a very
nice breakfast. The King filled up his cereal bowl with gravy, (thinking
it was oatmeal) the servant politely asked if he wanted a biscuit with
his gravy.
Only Hitman, Tinman and Antman had to triple up in a
king size bed. They left without saying good-by on Saturday morning.
The game featured 3 semi meaningful goals by the Peoria
Duffer organizer, Art Koudelka. Sir Art tapped in 3 Beak passes.
Sir Art learned the Duffer system well, he passed up numerous breakaways
waiting for meaningful trailers. He waited and waited and waited….
Hitman and Papa Joe scored the only meaningful goals on Friday.
Saturday
1/29/00
Fred and Doc were called up for Saturday's
game as Alien, Morgan and Joe Jr. were sent down. 75 year old Peoria
Pete was called in to even the sides. The King’s team was short of
talent when they gave away Sir Art, so Pete made it ten skaters for each
side. Fruitcake scored the only meaningful goal as the two teams
skated to a 3-3 meaningless tie. Stump, UB, Doc and Fred drove back
to Chicago in a snow storm after the game.
Hats off to Klinger for staying
awake during most of the week end after a 10 hour flight from Japan.
Ask him about toilet paper, cold pizza and phone sleep.

Alien curse. (Above)

The Mayor of Hayward is always
ready to open the city up to us! A number of Duffers have asked about
Hayward. Are you one of us?
