July 25, 2017BUNDURA SUFFERS CAREER ENDING INJURY – COMMISSIONER SCRAMBLES FOR REPLACEMENT

BY DICK FITZWELL

It was reported last week the Bundura was out of league action due to a barbecue mishap. The injury is more serious than expected and the Bundura will be out of action indefinitely. After learning of the news, Gordon’s League executives scrambled into action trying to find a capable replacement player for this week’s action.

CRAW TO THE RESCUE

The Gordon’s Gin Golf League was able to purchase the professional contract of Craw from the Glasgow Senior Tour. Craw, who is the father of Tomcat all-star Crow, was a welcome addition to already laden star studded line up. Craw, who before playing golf professionally was a professional soccer player and won many championships and has many stories about his soccer playing days.

“He taught Edsel Ford how to play golf”, said Stevo, providing some interesting facts about Craw. “This guy is the real deal”! “I can’t get over how Crow looks exactly like his dad”, said Sea Lion.

“Not only can he golf, I was amazed that he provides free golf lessons on the course”, said Mayday who was the benefactor of the Pam golf lesson. “He completely saved my game”, said Mayday enthusiastically.

The Sea Lion returned to action this week after signing a new contract which limits fun interaction with fans to once every six week. “I am happy with the new deal. Now I can focus on my game and make sure Stevo doesn’t take the lead from me”, said Sea Lion.

Stevo, who was absolutely on fire during Monday’s round, is shooting perhaps the best golf of his entire career. “My caddy makes all the decisions. All I have to do is hit the ball”, said Stevo. Asked about the catching the Sea Lion in the standings, Stevo said, “It would be like Mark Messier catching Wayne Gretzky but you never know if I keep shooing like that”.

Sores for the week were Stevo with a record setting 61(not 62 Johnny Miller), Craw, 70, Seal Lion 71 and May Day, 80. There were a record number of birdies which took a big dent out of the honey bourbon mug.

After some confusion the boys are back out next week with Chevy making his Gordon’s debut. Welcome Chevy!

The Gordon’s Gin league Invitational Tournament will be held on August 7th at a location still TBD. Mayday, Stevo, Hatchie, Cribzy, Sheep Dog has all confirmed. Snowpants, Sea Lion and Chrispy are tentative entries but a final decision is expected soon. Thanks to the guys who responded to my e mail. And for the guys, who don’t reply to e mails, please reply. Rumors of potential locations include Sutton Creek, Deer run and Ambassador. Roseland Golf Course in Windsor put in a bid to host the tournament but was rejected immediately. The City of Windsor is still working on how to solve the mystery of the getting a golf round to be played under 6 hours with no beer cart service.

The Belle View Golf and Country Club was buzzing yesterday as word got out via a leaked e mail that Chrispy would be joining the Gordon’s Gin Golf League. “No comment”, said Commissioner Mayday before the boys were scheduled to tee off on July 17, 2017.

We know the commissioner hates leaks from his office and the staffer responsible has been fired. “I don’t tolerate that nonsense. We don’t have to make the golf league great again, the golf league is already great and winning”, said Mayday from his office in downtown Windsor.

In other news, the league has settled its labour dispute with the Sea Lion and he will be back in action next week. Violent protests erupted outside the course last week and all parties are happy a resolution could be reached. Terms of the settlement are not being released.

 

SPARKY MIFFED

A disgruntled Sparky accused Chrispy of intentionally missing birdie putts. “Look, if you are going to play in this league, you’d better be prepared to drink honey bourbon”, fumed Sparky referring to a gimmee birdie try Chrispy left on the lip of the cup. The league has a rule that if a player gets a birdie on a hole, then all players have a shot of honey bourbon. “Rules are rules”, said Sparky.

RESULTS

Scores yesterday were Chrispy with a course record 65, Stevo 73, Sparky and Mayday tied at 82. Play will resume next week with Danny and the Bundura scheduled back. The Bundura was on a rehab assignment at Woodland Hills after injuring his knee in a mishap at a barbecue.

“I love playing with these guys”, said Chrispy while being mobbed by fans for his autograph. “The fans are what make Belle View a great place”.

Chrispy, who is off to Dubai next week to golf with Arabian princes, was happy he was invited to golf in the Gordon’s Gin League. Asked about his intentionally missing birdies, Chrispy replied, “Hey, I had to drive home”.

 

AND THE WINNER OF THE MEET THE GORDON’S GUYS CONTEST IS:

The Gordon’s Gin Golf League with sponsor Gordon’s Gin held a contest for fans recently. The Grand Prize was a group picture with the pros and as an added bonus a framed autographed picture with star of the tour, Stevo.

Contestants had to produce a video for judges telling a story of why they should be selected as the number 1 fan. Whitney was chosen out of nearly 67,000 contestants in Windsor/Essex County.

Whitney, who is moving to Los Angeles after the golf season to pursue an acting career told the blog, “This is the greatest day of my life. I have been a fan of this league since I was in grade school and to be selected as the number one fan is a dream come true”, said an emotional Whitney, holding back the tears.

In addition to winning a photo session with the pros, Whitney wins an all- expense paid trip to Washington, DC, where she will meet President Donald Trump, tour the White House and be interviewed by Fox News.

NEXT WEEK

The league will honor legend Finner, who retired from golf at 33 years of age to pursue a career in mountain climbing. Finner turns 50 next week and we will honor this former hockey and golf great with some side splitting stories. You will not want to miss next week’s blog. Bagger Vance has nothing on Finner.

After a year of speculation, the Tomcats received word July 17th that The Razor is officially hanging up his blocker and pads.  In a statement released by his agent, Sam Smooth, Razor indicated, “After 15 years of hard fought, dedicated service, I respectfully submit my official notice of retirement from the Tomcats effectively immediately.”  The press release went on to say, “I can no longer give 100% to the game, which is the way I tried to play every night.  I will miss robbing the big shooters of goals, and yelling at those few that hack at us goaltenders.  Hopefully along the way, I stopped more than I let in.”

Finally, Razor concluded, “…the thing I will miss most are the Tomcats, past and present.  I’ll always have the memories of exciting nights on the floor and having a cold one or two afterwards with the greatest group of ball hockey players on the planet.”

When inquired, Tomcat President Rocky stated, “While not a total surprise, based off of the recent injuries and recovery Razor had to endure in 2016/2017, a loss of a perennial superstar goalie is a big deal.  You don’t replace a player of his caliber easily, but more importantly, you don’t replace a person of his class and character easily!  Razor was the epitome of what a stand-up Tomcat should be, and he is a huge loss on the floor and on the stage.  The Tomcats wish nothing but the best for Razor and his family.  We know this announcement will give him more time to transition to his next career as part of the PGA.”

While nothing is officially planned, there is word that a number retirement and banner raising ceremony will be planned once the season begins.  Another legend will be placed in the hallowed halls of the Kapusta.

The Tomcats will continue their effort to beef up the goalie ranks and ensure we have quality back stoppers between the pipes each and every week.

That is all for now,

June 29, 2017

The Gordon’s Gin Golf League continued play this past Tuesday at Belle View. The day was marred with a labour disruption as star Players Sea Lion and the Bundura refused to play and were seen picketing outside the gates of the Belle View Golf and Country Club.

Commissioner Mayday jumped into action and immediately called up Soupy and Sparky from the Woodland Hills Par 3 Triple Bogie Tour. “This is a very unfortunate situation we hope to have resolved over the Canada Day Weekend”, said Mayday.

Bundura and Sea Lion are rumoured to have hired agent Alan Wolfson who is known to bring toxicity and destruction to any organization he has ever dealt with. Sources say money and profit sharing are at the center of the dispute.

Soupy, who hit a 350 yard tee shot on number two bounced off a tree and on to the green was impressive playing in his first outing on the major circuit. “It has always been my dream to qualify for the Gordon’s Gin Golf League. I hope to get another call real soon. Anyway, I am glad I finally lost my Belle View virginity. Just add that to the list of cherries I’ve popped”, said Soupy. One reporter named the tree Soupy hit, Soupy’s Tree.

Sparky, who was also making his Gordon’s Tour debut seemed to have been irritated by all the attention Soupy was getting by reporters and fans. “The guy has played two holes and already has a tree named after him”, said Sparky shaking his head.

Asked about his call up to the major tour Sparky said tearfully, “to be called up at almost 60 years old at this point in my career is amazing I didn’t think I would ever pull my driver out again. It was sure nice to see my ball running on the fairway turf like a diseased dick”.

“They were even playing “Hang on Soupy” in the club house after”, said Stevo. EDITORS NOTE. THIS PART OF THE STORY IS ACTUALLY TRUE.

Scores for the week were Soupy 68, Sparky 69, Stevo 70 and Mayday 72.

Play is interrupted next week as Stevo is away on a celebrity skins game in Carolina while Mayday is in Ottawa receiving the Order of Canada for his contribution to golf in Belle River.

Negotiations continue with the Bundura and Sea Lion.  Mayday hopes they are back on tour real soon. “I am confident a deal can be worked out”, said Mayday. “I was not sure we would actually get the round in. Sparky was delayed getting in by the picket line”.

 

Bundura 401 Tour by Harry Ballsonue
A new golf trip was attended by some of the Tomcats. They played four courses, Tawandowa, Fire Rock, London National and Ingersoll Golf and Country Club, “I wanted to try something new and different, so I thought if we met Toronto Doc and Mr. Kwang from Toronto, we could go to London. We have been going to Battle Creek Michigan for over 25 years, so this is new for us, we had fun, we have fun”. State the organizer and tour host, Bundura.

“We played some very nice courses, my favourite has to be Fire Rock then London National, not sure if Ingersoll will make the cut next year”, stated Board of Director member of the Bundura 401 tour Sea Lion.
The Tomcats played a 2 man scramble on the Tuesday afternoon round. The winners were Sea Lion and Mr. Kwang. They were tied with Toronto Doc and Little Bird (Both Lefties) Little Bird and Toronto Doc lost in a handicap scenario. Handicap hole number one they both had 5, the second hardest hole, they both had a 4 but on the third hardest hole, Toronto Doc and Little Bird scored a 5 and Mr. Kwang and Sea Lion ad a 3 and won the tournament.
“It’s a great moment for me and my family”, Stated Kwang, fighting back tears.
Toronto Doc gets a big thank you for supplying the golf team with golf shirts, “Thanks so much, very appreciated”, stated Cribzie. Everyone wore their shirts proudly.

Best line of the week, from Sparky, “The ball ran like a deceased dick”.
“We went with 8 guys this year and had a super time, in September we are going with 12 to Battle Creek”, stated Stevo.
Dick Fitzwell returns next week with a blog on the Mr. Gordon, Dirty Growler Tomcat Golf League news.

The Winner of the Pantalon de Neige is….By Harry Ballsonue
If you know something hurtful and not true, don’t say it.

If you know something hurtful and true, don’t say it.

If you know something helpful but not true, don’t say it.

If you know something helpful and true, find the right time to say it.

– Buddha –

I know something true, You could not have asked for a greater day weather wise and you could not pick a better golf course and you could not have asked for a better bunch of guys to play in this years Windsor Tomcat Golf Tournament, who were all trying to win the very very very, prestigious trophy, the Pantalon de Neige Jug. Congratulations to Soupy for coming in at 76 and winning this year. “I don’t know what to say”, said a very ecstatic Soupy, “Just to be playing with these great guys is great enough, but to actually win, well, I am without words” Soupy Concluded.

The Windsor Tomcat Minister of Golf, Snowpants did an incredible job putting together this years tournament once again, from prizes, to awards to making everyone feel special, he really finds his niche in putting it all together, he even controlled the weather, to be perfect. “I don’t know about the weather, I think St. Felix, the Patrol Saint of Floor Hockey and the Windsor Tomcats took care of us there” A beaming Snowpants said. 

“Snowpants does a great job every year, we are truly lucky to have him running this event for us”, stated the Tomcat President Rocky. “I joined the Tomcats 7 years ago, and sometimes I wonder what I would be doing on a day like today if I had not met them, best guys ever”. Snowpants said, weeping openly.

Great to see the alumni there, including Crispy, Bucko, Bundura, Bubbles and the Sea Lion. Classy gents for coming out to play.
Lovie, a fan favourite was there as well and brought Sunny’s brother, Sunbeam to play this year. “It was such a special surprise for me to see my cousin”, stated Soupy.
Tomcats continue to wine and dine a possible goalie of the future, Bagz who is still recovering from back surgery. “Great to see Bagz join us once again this year”, stated Cribzie and added, “Great golfer and a super net minder, I hope his hip heals to a point where he can come out and join us on a Tuesday”.
“Probably the best goalie I have ever seen play, and that is not a word of a lie”. Added Bubbles.
The Big Easy, who is an unrestricted free agent, come July 1, was there as well, playing in the Foursome with La Bamba, Bubbles and Stevo. You have to wonder what was going on there and if The Big Easy could sign with the Tomcats this year.
So the Tomcat season now comes to an official close with the conclusion of the Golf Tournament, Season starts up in a short three months.
Top Three:
Soupy 76

Bubbles 78

Crispy 79

The fellas were back at Bellevue for Week Three of the Gordon’s Gin Golf League. Temperatures soared to 115% F but the fellas walked all 18 holes carrying their clubs on their backs.

Scores were Stevo, 68, Seal Lion, 69, Bundura, 70, and May Day, 75. The birdie jug was getting its fair share of hits. League rules stipulate that when a player makes a birdie, a swig of specialty, locally distilled birdie juice is taken by each player.

Tempers flared both on the 17^th hole and later in the clubhouse. The Sea Lion hit an impressive 5 wood off the tea only to roll into the ditch. Analyzing his next shot, the Sea Lion said, “I’m going to get aggressive with this next shot”. He lines up his next shot, takes a huge back swing, connects with the ball and duffs it right into the smelly, grassy growler and the ball disappears back into the ditch. Stevo, May Day and the Bundura are looking straight down as to not make eye contact with the Sea Lion.

The Seal Lion then takes a one handed overhead wind up with his 5 wood and comes down hard on his poor head cover that was on the ground causing the head cover to bounce a few feet in the air. “That was a shit shot. That’s what happens when I lift my head”, steamed the Sea Lion. Always the guy with a positive outlook, May Day stated,  “At least you hit your cover right on the screws”! The fellas busted out laughing and the Sea Lion holed a 132 yard chip shot to finish the hole with a bogie.

Inside the clubhouse the boys were looking forward to after round beverages only to discover the back bar was not opened. Seems Belleview has adopted Air Canada’s motto on customer service. “We’re not happy until you’re not happy”, fumed May Day. May Day has placed Belleview under suspension and the boys will play their next round at Ambassador. “We spend $10,000.00 per week on booze, food and strippers and this is the way they treat us”, said the Bundura.

Movies discussed this week were Racks and Blacks, Pulp Friction and Sorest Rump.  All blockbusters back in the day.

The boys are off next week as the Bundura is hosting his annual Make a Wish tour in London. 150 golfers are booked to play. League play resumes at Ambassador on June 27.

June 7, 2017

By Dick Fitzwell

It was a windy day as the Gordon’s Gin league played in their second week at Belleview. Notables Stevo, The Sea Lion, The Bundura and May Day were again on top of the leader board.

“Considering 40 guys have now joined the league, I am pretty happy with my round”, stated the Bundura who finished with a final score of 68. He saved his best wizardry for the par 3 sixteenth. The Bundura used a loft wedge to negotiate the wind and put it on the green for a tap in birdie. “One of the best shots I have ever seen”, commented Stevo. Other scores were Stevo 69, Seal Lion, 70 and May Day, 71.

Playing in the group in front of us was the celebrity, The Champ. You will remember the champ being the star of the Q107 morning show in Toronto. Stevo grew up with The Champ in Oshawa.

When Stevo saw The Champ at the turn, he called out to him and said, “Hey Champ, do you want to join me and grab a couple sausages”?  “PARDON”, replied the Champ. Stevo repeated, “Do you want to join me in grabbing a couple of sausages”? The next thing you know, The Champ completely loses it. He hits Stevo with a flurry to the mid- section, rabbit punches, left cross and an uppercut. Stevo is lying there. “Geez, I forgot how sensitive The Champ is”, said the Sea Lion. “You shouldn’t ask The Champ questions he can take the wrong way”.

The boys are trying their best to clean up their language on the course. Instead of cursing out the ‘C’ word after a bad shot, one of the guys suggested to not use the ‘C’ word but Smelly Growler instead.

In the club house after the round, Stevo was not impressed the bar had still not stocked honey bourbon. Stevo has refused to golf until the bar receives its shipment. Other banter included discussing newly released feature films such as Black Cock Down and Everyone I did Last Summer in additions to classics like Assablanca and The Bone Ranger.

On the way home, one of the fellas was asked what he is making his wife for dinner.

“Well, she has two choices, cake or cock. And I am all out of cake”.

League play resumes on June 12, 2017.

The Gordon’s Gin Golf League kicked off on May 30, 2017 at the Belleview Golf and Country Club. Tomcat veterans May Day and Stevo were joined by refereeing legends The Seal Lion and the Bundura.  

“I like it”, chortled Stevo. “ You can’t get any better playing in a golf league with only four guys. I have a chance to win this thing. But it will be tough as we all know the Bundura and the Seal Lion are sticklers for the rules”. “I can’t think of a better place to kick off our league than Belleview”, said Mayday.

 The Sea Lion was training the new staff in the bar after the round of golf. He was instructing the bartender and server on how to properly mix the official drink of the league, gin and tonic. Stevo demanded the bar order honey bourbon and the staff promised it will be available for next Tuesday’s round.

Best quote of the night: 

Observing a pregnant staff member after the round one patron was overheard saying, “She likes a bit of cock, does she. The giggle stick”.

 Commissioner of the Gordon’s Gin League May Day said, “ We already have a waiting list of 30 guys. And 20 guys are golfing next week”!

 The fellows were also discussing movies they recently saw. The overwhelming favorite was Black Cocks and Goldilocks.

 

Opening round scores were:

 

Sea Lion – 76

Stevo – 78

Bundura – 81

May Day – 84

Memorial Cup observations and Common Man comment by Dick Fitzwell
You would never know the City of Windsor is hosting the Memorial Cup.

On my way to work down the city’s signature street, Ouellette Avenue I noticed construction pylons on both sides of the dilapidated road. Nothing says welcome to Windsor by ‘uglifying’ the main road with the start of a construction project that will annoy both residents and visitors.

Another planning brainstorm sees E.C. Row lanes reduced to one lane starting May 23, 2017. Nothing like making it easy for people to get to the rink in the east end ( which should have been built downtown in the first place).

There were no signs anywhere saying Welcome to Windsor, Home of the 2017 Memorial Cup. Speaking of signs, last year’s sign downtown said, “ Do You Know Your HIV Status”. That one was a gem. This is strange since there should be visitors attracted to the downtown area since there are a few hotels nearby. When I walked to get a coffee, I didn’t see any signs in restaurants or coffee shops either.

On a positive note, the new City Hall has been going up at a pace I have never seen before. And the million dollar flag pole is up. Use your imaginations to guess what it looks like.

They opened a time capsule from 25 years ago. I wonder if any MFP stuff was in there.

As far as the tournament venue is concerned, we will soon know if parking will be a problem. There are shuttle services being offered from the local establishments including Johnny Shotz, which is in Tecumseh.

Unrelated to hockey, the entire downtown is a disaster. Most other medium sized cities have a thriving urban centre with decent urban housing. Not here. You have to stickhandle the drug addicts and other forms of human waste who I see every day walking around down here. My favorite sign is, “I NEED MONEY TO FEED MY PREGNANT WIFE”. The guy is about 25 years old and evidently did not pay attention to the birth control module or the getting a job module at school. There is no effort whatsoever to sweep up the garbage and promote downtown living, shopping and promoting the beautiful waterfront this city has. Empty buildings, torched buildings and the for lease signs are everywhere.

New Pantalon de Neige Champ in 2017 by Harry Ballsonue

The Windsor Tomcats Golf Organizer, Snowpants ( He is also the Minister of Golf, Floors and Pyrotechnics ) has learned that last years champion Hicksee will not be able to play this year, so that means a new champ will be crowned this year.

“I think it makes it exciting for everyone now”, Said Cribzie, “A lot of us now have a chance to win this thing”.

“Who would not love to hoist the Pantalon de Neige Jug in the air”? Sated La Bamba,  And then Kiss it tenderly”.

Tentatively, this is who is in the tournament line up:

Tee Times/Foursomes:

10:00 a.m.:  Stevo, The Big Easy, La Bamba and Bubbles

10:08 a.m.:  Bundura, The Sea Lion, Little Bird and May Day

10:16 a.m.:  Soupy, Sparky, Cribzie and Bagz

10:24 a.m.:  Snowpants, Lovie, Crispy and Bucko

10:32 a.m.:  Chevy, Rocky, Killer, Stout (Chevy’s buddy)

So if you look at who is playing and if your name is not there, why not consider joining  and make a foursome.

Not sure if you can play or want to play, but please know that Lovie will be playing this year,  He is with Snowpants Crispy and Bucko.  Lovie is one of the finest, bestest Tomcats, he is a great guy to hang with, even if you don’t golf, its worth signing up for the tournament.

Great to see Alumni with Bucko and Crispy playing along with Alumni and Referee Association, The Bundura and Sea Lion.

Tournament is Friday June 16, first tee off is 10 a.m. Cost is $47, includes cart and fireworks, Snowpants does a super fantastic job, he really does, you don’t want to miss it, “As it sits right now, we have room for one more guy, but if we got a run going I am sure we could do one more foursome.  Thanks to those who have already said they are playing”, Stated Snowpants.

While you are thinking about Sparky and his 7 year record for the longest drive and wow, Lovie, will be there, do you think I can put my Harry Ballsonu.

Let The Summer Begin…By Harry Ballsonue

With the Board of Directors meeting done and put away, the Tomcat season comes to an official close.  There will be leaving players exposed for the expansion draft and of course, the draft and then free agency, but for the most part, it is done.

As a member of the press, media & blogger world, I was not allowed in to the Board room for the B of D meeting but just like everyone I read the minutes of the meeting. Another super season for the Tomcats and the second highest ever, as far as revenue is concerned. The share holders will be singing the praises of Rocky, Hurricane not so much as he would like to see that money spent! Spent and now!

According to reports, a super fantastic start of the season gift is to be provided at the $50 dollar start up fee.  “I was going to retire, save my legs for walking when I’m 60”, stated Stevo, “But this great ‘start of the season gift’ has me intrigued, has me considering playing another year”. Stevo said.

I was surprised at the low turn out for the meeting, Stalwarts such as Kamikaze and Sheep Dog were not there, I was told that some wanted to attend but had conflicts in their schedule. The meeting has been held on the first Tuesday of May for 20 years for those looking at planning ahead for next year.

I am being told that Hollywood took time off from work to attend the meeting, now that is commitment. There should be 20 guys at that meeting in my opinion.

Speaking to players ‘in the know of hockey’ goalie sticks are not a good idea. “They cover enough net, having them hold a goalie stick will prevent even more scoring from occurring”. Stated several players who asked not to be mentioned.

What about giving goalies goalie sticks and using the bigger nets? There is an idea.

As far as new guys being recruited, do Tomcats really need new guys or just more of commitment from the ones that they have. New goalies YES. Sign Skuz and The Terror to long term deals and see what Skippy is going to do with himself next year. If Hollywood plays goalie more, then sure look for one more guy, maybe this new fella Rickie fills that void.

Maybe Sunny and Beep can find a new goalie or at least find out what Razor is going to be like next year injury wise, personally I missed him out there this year. I hope he comes back.

Rocky’s idea about a goalie who can play out is ideal and a guy like Skuz is perfect. So maybe the main four next year can be Falcon, The Terror, Razor, and the new guy Beep and Sunny will find, with Hollywood Pecker, Skippy, Chico, Skuz and Danish filling in when short

ROUGH PLAY was addressed. From what I saw it was not too bad this past year….But Rocky, Hollywood Pecker, Sparky, Sunny, Doc and Snowpants are in charge of making a call when it comes to a player being too rough. But is that enough?

One thing that they need to keep their eye on is hacking at the goalie, that needs to stop, do you really need to score that badly to hack at a goalie?

Doc gets into a slight scuffle with May Day

Rocky felt the frustration of guys cancelling last minute on him. The Board of Directors has now levied a 12 pack as a fine for not showing up and not calling, excellent idea, but why not just be courteous to Rocky and text him earlier.

And why not something like this, if you cancel the day of, say after the noon hour, then you are automatically out for the following week of play? May have people thinking twice about cancelling on the Tomcats last minute.

Over all, the season was good and Rocky did a great job in his first year, the hockey is for you the player, not for Rocky the organizer or Tunzie the beer cooler filler, its for you the player….you come out because you enjoy the hockey and the guys. If you never heard of the Tomcats what would you be doing on a Tuesday night? You certainly would have 15 less tee shirts.

Also, and this is a BIG ONE……Jump in and help set up and tear down, be part of the solution, no part of the problem.

I am also hearing, Sparky did a great job, ‘food wise’ at the Board of Directors meeting.

While you are looking of the photos of the tussle and thinking to your self, “Hell yeah, what would I be doing with myself on a Tuesday’,  and ‘ I would nt know any of these guys, not Tunzie, or Chevy or La Bamba or Falcon or Cribzie,’ do you think I can put my Harry Ballsonue
