from the Harry Palm Press…
I may not have had the chance recently to sneak into a Tomcat game considering increased security at the gates looking for scalped tickets, BUT, I do faithfully try to read the St Felix. Imagine my horror when I saw the Tomcats had to purchase 3 rolls of tape for $9????? That’s like $3 a roll – Holy gold tape Batman. I just came from our neighbours – The U.S where I purchased 10 rolls of Black tape for $10 – Yup $1 per role. K, I paid my $9 total in round trip toll, so $19 for 10 rolls. Still that’s $1.99 a roll. OOO now your gonna argue about gas – my friends that is cheaper over there too. Still follow, cause when 8 Tomcats are on the floor chasing a little orange ball, how long does it take for the first Tomcat to break a sweat? I digress, I quess I’ll come and bribe security with a roll of tape next time I do drop by – Hell I’ll even throw in a yellow roll for good measure.
Before I get my mouth taped shut, it was nice to see Skippy back out on the past Tuesday in a role that had yet to be determined. As there appeared to be several extra Tomcat players management decided on a “mini tournament”. Stevo’s stingrays just edged out the Raxor “Rockets” 3-2 in the first game. After that Tomcat players started to look around and realize some of those “extra” players actually didn’t materialize. A decision was quickly made to combine all the remaining players and continue with a traditional game. Unfortunatly 3 goalies showed up, so the Skipster stepped to the plate and volunteered to leave – What a class act. At least that’s what I initially thought until learning Skippy actually had an early morning work out scheduled. Speaking to him as he left, Skippy had another interesting exit strategy, “Hey whenever you win a game against Razor, who is a top netminder in this league, you take that win and run. Besides I also left with a 2 G.A.A – Not bad for me, and it adds a layer of mystery/doubt in players mind when I played that well.” Hard to argue with and I was impressed until sources indicated he’s been gettin lit up like a june bug in the Monday night midget league he’s been playing in.
Just as Skippy was leaving I was approached by Security. Apparetnly my “Black” tape was a horrible bribe, as I learned its no good for the Kapustow floors. “White” is the only acceptable tape to go on the floor as “Black” leaves marks – So did security when they threw me out once they checked my homemade ticket. Can you blame a guy for wanting to watch a Tomcat hockey game.
Finally, other sources have put to rest the “Danish” riddle regarding another spare Tomcat goalies “fan” email account. All I can say is it involves the combination of two Eqyptian gods, a number, and an address. Poor Danish, no wonder the guy is a Doctor, but like he reminds everyone, he’s not THAT kind of doctor. Good thing, but don’t the Tomcats already have one “Doc” on the roster?, cause right now I’m kinda happy there may be two as I really need one to put there HANDZONMECAC and check out a growth.
