Alien Steals the Show!
| The meaningless scoring started early for the Blues, with Sonofrank
flipping in a backhand rebound off a Miller Lite shot on The Ghost.
Minutes after, Kenny answered with a shot from the slot that found it's way past Tweedy. A few minutes later, Klinger was defending Sonofrank 1 on 1 when he claimed an assist on his second goal. “Your stick would've never moved that way if I wasn't hindering you like I was.” Blues now led 2-1 meaningless. Miller Lite continued the Blues scoring. After several failed attempts to set up his Old Man, Lite decided to take matters into his own hands and go top shelf on The Ghost to give the Blues a 3-1 Cushion. |
 The margin didn't stay
that way for long as Tommy Morgan started the second period scoring with
a breakaway. Morgan moved to his left and flipped a back-hander in
to the right, as Tweedy went for the fake.
Uncle Bob then evened the score on a one timer from the point at 10 m.p.h., another case of Danny going for the Velocity Fake. Lite added another goal for the Blues later in the second on a slap shot from the circle. With the score tied 5-5 in the third, The unexplainable happened. |
Sonofrank, now playing defense, passed to Lite deep in the White zone, Lite slid a pass to Alien in front of the net… AND THEN IT HAPPENED, Alien gave up a SHOT, passed it to Thor on the other side of the net for a 6-5 win, and a 1-0 Meaningful Victory. The Meaningful score could have been a tie, but the suspected White meaningful goal could not be confirmed. *Those goals are always counted if The meaningful Goal Scorer shows up at Henry’s to claim his goal.  |

There was a rare non picnic "Fun Tax" assessed to
all the Duffers last Friday for being witness to The Alien Breakaway.
In the Middle of the 3rd period, with the Blues ahead 6-5, Alien broke
into open ice all alone, a chance to ice the meaningful win for the blues.
With the closest White defender on the other side of the ice, Bill crossed
the blue line with his best opportunity of the game. A second later,
his feet came up behind him as he looked like Pete Rose sliding head-first
into second

If you didn't get your Jimmy Buffett tickets for Saturday,
July 29, 2000, then you will have to go to the Thursday concert. July 27,
2000. The Saturday concert sold out quickly. I had fun in line
with all of the Parrot heads. There was a guy that was telling a story
about his new motorcycle. He was so excited that he flooded it and
couldn't get it started, so he was waxing it when he noticed bird poop
on his wife's bike. After he cleaned it up, he returned to his bike
only to find the bird splotched his bike. He found a bird in the
rafters of his garage and chased it out. He never got to ride his
new bike.
| Get ready for the Duffer Music CD. Here is a Karaoke
site that you can visit and practice 2 of the songs.
New York, New York
and Margaritaville can be found there. Remember to substitute "your"
for "the", and "legs" for "news" in New York, New York. Margaritaville
has all of the correct words, so no substitutions are necessary.
