Killer is there, Hurricane,Rocky (Back Row, he has made it to front row now) Chevy and of course the Falcon and The Rake. Guys you may not know…Libs (he invented the saying ‘Tomcats Forever”) Old Tomcats, no longer around, Finner, Fuzzy, Zaba, Bubbles, Doob, Uwe, Bucko, Mez, Bearcat, Razor and franchise player Crispy. A great photo….a great memory.
What could Happen
One Tomcat who does not wish to be named, but he was a past President is hoping that the Tomcats can start in April. His idea is a four week season (Shortened like the NHL season) and with a tournament on the last Saturday of April ( Saturday May 1)
It comes down to numbers….and if things get better COVID wise, who knows…..there is a thought out there…’if you think of something that is positive, the Universe is to help and see your vision come so if all Tomcats start thinking positive thoughts about a season, maybe it will come true.
Tee Shirt Coming?
Hollywood is looking at doing a tournament shirt for this year, tournament or no tournament. “I plan to do a goodie bag, you know maybe a tee shirt, some COVID Masks, maybe a package of those suppository vaccines from Chevystar-Hurricaerema”. Hollywood stated.
Golf
One golf tournament I forgot to mention in my last blog and who knows if it will be played this year is the Turks’ Kapusta Open, first Saturday of June. Ambassador Golf Course, beer and dog and the turn, dinner back at the Kapusta Kow and a very good prize table…Let’s hope the COVID numbers get drastically better and that the tournament is played.
The Tomcat tournament in June could be a go, again, COVID numbers and vaccines by then?? Anyones guess
Kobassa Open in July, I predict we will be playing that tournament, but what do I know, I am a blogger for the Tomcats.
Flashback
Putting up the old picture of the Tomcats brought back memories not only of Razor, May Day, Junior and Libs, It brought memories of the Tomcats going back to Purples and singing Karaoke, one of the hazings, (Not sure if you can even say that in a blog) was each new Tomcat had to sing a song on the Karaoke machine. Finner belted out ‘King of the road’, with no protest, Killer sang, so did others, I still think of Hurricanes version of the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no Satisfaction”, and smile, Karaoke superstar The Legend would sing ‘Born to be Wild’ and of course The Sealion, who was the Karaoke King, singing Mack The Knife “Stevo and I use to do a duet, a Willie Nelson Julio Inglesis number, ‘for all the girls I loved before’. There were these two women that would request that song and throw their panties at us, they thought we were pretty good, now mind you, they had been drinking there since noon and where shit faced, but still a fan is a fan.” Sealion stated.
In ending
I don’t know what is going to happen next, most are saying, ‘lets hope there is Tomcat hockey come September. Who knows how many more strains of the COVID there will be….I do know that everyone misses Tuesday nights.Lets think positive thoughts and maybe se can get it going before the summer. And Hey, while you are checking out (in the photo) The Falcon, The Rake, Sunny, Rocky, Killer and Bulldog, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
