Conference 7.286::sports_90

    Does this mean SOS might be returning?  :*)
    
    Lee

    waterBOY, you are dogmeat this year.
    
    Hope this helps,
    
    Doc

    
    DrM... actions speak louder than words!
    
    I seem to have a dollar hanging on my office wall with your signature
    on it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I receive that after 
    smoking you in the 3pt contest last year...?
    
    ... and while you're at it, why don't you just accept the one-on-one
    challange... there is no way you are going to back out of it this
    time...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    
    Dr(ool)M(an)...  check the appropriate box and sign on the dotted line.
    
    
    
    [ ]   I will to play the iceMAN in a one-on-one hoop game.  I know
          I will smoke him, so I will accept the challange and play him
          before the 3-pt contest.  Many people will be in attendance so
          it will be that much more fun when I embarrass him.
    
    [ ]   I will not play the iceMAN in a one-on-one hoop game.  I'll
          come up with some lame excuse sooner or later, but for now,
          let me just say that I'm afraid of getting embarrassed in
          front of 20,000 screaming fans(?).
    
    
    
          ......................................    (<- the dotted line!)

    Rock, so you got that dollar after all!?!?  I remember you still asking
    for it a while after you smoked him!
    
    Mike

    
    
    Mike, he finally gave me the $1... but he wrote "Browns suck, Dr
    Midnights Buck" on it... words, but no action to back them.
    The Browns have OWNED the oilers since Warren Moon entered the
    NFL - FACK!

    The contest will start at 6:00, the game probably around 7:15.
    Half-time, which is when the finals will be held should happen around
    7:40. ...............This is all assuming things go smoothly etc., I
    recommend that you assume nothing.

    Doc, pay the man ahead of time and save yourself the embarrassment.
    If you bet $1 with everyone that you played 1-0n-1 against last year
    at our softball end of the year party , well, I believe you ended
    up 0-7..... even your brand new Air Jordans and spotting you points
    didn't help ! ;^)
    
    Brian

    
    Brian, how did you get Doc to play 1-on-1 games?  He's been taunting
    me about how he's going to trounce me...  problem is, he never seems
    to be available...  well... he'll be at the 3 pt contest so its the
    perfect time... problem is, Doc is backing down... AGAIN!
    

    How is the 3 pt competition doing?  Last time I tried that kind
    of contest I got 17 points, and that was many years ago, before
    I learned the fine art of shooting.  Let me guess and say that 21
    was the victors total.  I'll try to add some spice to the contest,
    but driving over 2 hours each was doesn't really appeal to me.

    Brian, you had too many beers. I seem to remember that Ernie Beland
    nuked your butt pretty well too ... 
           
    Oh yes, I was wearing used Reeboks - Air Jordans ??? Gimme a break !
    
    I work for DEC remember ? :-)
    If I can cover against him - waterBOY doesn't stand a chance.
    
    Oh yeah, do you remember the score of OUR game ?
    
    I thought you didn't ..... :-) 
      
    > Brian 
    
    You ought to be ashamed to sign your name to that ..... :-)
    
    The Doc

    re .10
    
    You mean, like the way you was going to play football, but never
    showed your concave chest anywhere near a field ?
    
    Nah, i don't eat quiche like you, and even with a stacked deck,
    I'll apply the hammer .....

    
    > If I can cover against him - waterBOY doesn't stand a chance.
    
    When and where?  At the 3pt contests?

    
    re.10
    
    	Rock, you just wait 'till he has 2 or 3 Dr. Peppers, Sprite,
    	whatever and he starts getting a bit daring and the carbonation
    	starts taking over. Then , when he opens his big mouth, you
    	stick the basketball in it ! Can't back down then .
    
    re. 12
    
    	Doc, no, I really don't remember the exact socre, but I'd say
    	someting like 11-5 is close . Not bad considering I had "one
    	too many" that night ! Worn Reeboks ? How soon YOU forget. You
    	went back to your car to change FROM your used Reebok's to your
    	new brand "X" sneakers. Remember ? Yes, I did lose to Ernie,
    	but you gotta' remember that I played you right before that
    	and my sides were still hurting from laughing so hard !

The following are excerpts from Rosie's newsletters. 

Rosie's Place is a community seeking to empower, enable and enhance the lives 
of poor and homeless women. Recognizing that for many women, providing for 
their children is also a basic need, Rosie's Place extends services to women 
with children where possible. It is not funded by city, state or federal 
government. Through contributions from folks like us they "continue to be 
there for those who have no one there for them" for the last 16 years, the 
first women's shelter in the COUNTRY!
 
Homelessness can be taken lightly only by those who have never carried all they
possess - often castoffs salvaged from other people's trash - in paper bags. 
For those consigned by mental illness or poverty to sleep on the streets 
regardless of the weather, homelessness is a bitter reality. Their needs are 
not only not being addressed, They are being denied. Who are they:

            1)Poor women who simply cannot find an affordable place to live
            2)De-institutionalized women released from mental health systems 
              with little more than Rosie's address in their pocket.
            3)Women and children who are now homeless
            4)More and more elderly homeless
            5)Minority women who are homeless, drug addicted and/or have AIDS

For years Rosie's has been providing meals, overnight shelter and clothing to 
homeless women and children. Rosie's has begun a process by which women who 
want something more than a bed in a shelter can have access to house or 
apartment locations, jobs, education, medical care, psychiatric care or 
whatever they want for 30 to 60 days or more, if necessary. It is their feeling 
that if they can help 100 or 200 or 300 women out of the poverty cycle, it is 
better than being part of a shelter system that merely beds and feeds them!!!!!
Rosie's is going to concentrate on getting women off of the streets permanently 
and settled into a life THEY, the women, want.

***  WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP WOMEN HELP THEMSELVES ***

Clothing donations:
   - We will have boxes available at the game for clothes both women and 
     children (babies as well) and toys are greatly appreciated.
   - We can pick them up at your facility the day before the game,  April 15th.

Money contributions: 
   - All money from DEC employees is matched by DEC matching funds program. 
     We take care of it for you! Your $15.00 = $30.00 to Rosie's.
   - You can write a check payable to Rosie's Place. Include badge number so 
     we can match funds.
   - You can sponsor a shooter in one of our contests, so much per basket. 
   - You can come to the game, buy raffle tickets for a weekend package in
     New Hampshire, dinner certificates, haircuts, as well as enjoy 
     refreshments. Prizes have been donated,all contributions go to Rosie's.

Time contributions:
   - Come to the game and cheer us on, moral support is always welcomed.
   - Most importantly, volunteer at Rosie's. There will be a representative 
     from Rosie's at the game as well as their director. They need in-service
     training or tutoring (share your special skills or interest), and 
     volunteers to drive and help women move their belongings into apartment 
     buildings, as well as prepare and serve lunch and dinner. The need is for
     both men and women volunteers!! 

Thank You for your support!

    Frank,
    
    	What exactly are you going to *saw off* ?  ;^)
    
    Claybone

No, Claybone, ya gots it all wrong.

We get a couple of them big trees.  Each of us gets a saw,
when the whistle blows ya start sawing through the tree.  The winner
is the first one through...

Hpe shot whoops,
Chainsaw

    'saw,
    
    	I'd rather see you guys scurry up a telephone pole like those
    	luberjacks in the competitions.  That always slays me!
    
    Claybone

    This would be a great event for half-time. We can bring in 2 telephone
    poles to the gym. You first must scurry up the pole and than saw it up on 
    your way down.  hmmm, Do you think you can do this without getting any
    oil on floor, I don't want any of the players getting hurt in the
    second half!
    
    

Real manly men throw telephone poles, but they're called cabers...

    Bring the fans with you...for support and protection from the other
    contestant's fans. The Saw-off has been cancelled due to lack of
    contestants, something about a baseball game and sawing under the
    influence.....:-)

    REK
    
    Just bustin cookies!!! :-}

    A name got left off the list I just posted (re.31). The correction has been 
    made and John "Hawk" Zsabo, officially the 29th shooter to take a chance, 
    is back on the list! 
    
    Sorry Hawk.......     

    is zsabo related to zsa-zsa perhaps?
    

    He's Zsa-Zsa's love child!
    
    hope this helps!

    Hmmp, I though he was related to Zsa-Zsu Pitts.
    
    Help this, Hope.
    
    Lee

    Attila the Szabo?

No, no, it's like thised:


	"Szabo....Szaaaaabo.....daylight come and me wanna go home."

              
    Nashoba Regional high is on rte 117 in Bolton, Mass. @ 2-3 miles from
    the 495 junction. If coming from the North (Littleton/Nashua) on 495 you 
    would take a left off the Rte 117 exit, from the south (Hudson/Marlboro) 
    you would take a right. Go through the center of town (blinking light) and 
    it will be another mile or two on the right hand side of the road. There 
    is a sandwich shop across the street from it.

    So DrM... today is D day...  You didn't answer my mail about what time
    you want to play the 1-on-1...  I sure hope you're not trying to 
    duck out of this...  5pm?
    
    ice

Something tells me this is gonna be good....

    I doubt it Chainsaw ... because I never said yes or no ... and the
    fellows who was at the Sox game Monday know how I feel and why ....
    
    And there was some agreement on it too ....

    
    re:.48
    
    Another lame excuse.  See you there, pal!

    so Doc, how do you really feel?  Is this going to be another Peter
    Frampton song?

    re Mike H
    
    That's 2-2 .... what Peter Frampton song ? You know where my musical
    tastes run ... :-)
    
    re Hawk,
    
    I'm sorry you won't be there - I was really looking forward to you
    waxing Nazz.
    
    I'll dedicate my first made basket to you - however long it takes! ;-)
    
    re Saw
    
    Ask Hendry or Hawk, they'll tell you ....
    
    re Gro-whatsyourname ...
    
    I'll see you there, but so what ? I'll see Dee, Nazz, Goose, Claude,
    Walt , ect ect ....

    
    re: -1
    
    Typical DrM... mouth off about how he's going to waste me in 1-on-1
    and then as the hour approaches... wimp out.   All mouth no action!

    Must be "that time of month", eh Doc???
    
    NAZZ

    Geez, if the "game" was half as good as the talking, it must have
    been great!
    
    Who won?
    
    Lee

    Dr M - points in first round - 3
           airballs in first round - 5
    
    Nuff said about HIM!
    
    Iceman made the finals, as did Dana Lane, George Thissell, and
    surprise first round leader Jeff Farley.  Thissell's rainbows
    were on target in the finals and he strolled to an easy victory.
    
    A great time was had by all, and I would guess over $20,000 was
    earned in pledges to Rosie's Place.
    
    NAZZ

    
    	I must say, George's shots were a joy to watch. Talk about a high
    arcing shot. I was talking to him after and he said he could shoot,
    turn and pick up the next ball, turn back and watch the shot go in. You
    know the ball was up there. 
    
    	Congrats to George! Also, congrats to all who competed and helped
    raise some money.
    
    
    							Dana
    

    No kidding ! That shot of his damn near hit a light fixture a few
    times, and found nothing but bottom. Congrats.
    
    WorldBFree,PurvisShort,GeorgeThissault
    
    As for me, hey, I stunk. Period, end of sentence. I was hitting
    from friggin out of bounds, parking lot, ect in practice - then
    I catch something from Nazz ... and it's curtains  .... :-)
    
    People are forgetting the all-star game, it was well-played, but
    damn, those uniforms were HARD on the eyes ! ;-)

    
    	Silly Nazz..he doesn't even say how "well" he did...about as
    good as Dr. Midnight!  Acutally, Nazz managed to get 5 points in
    the shootout.  I'm not one to talk, cause I only managed 7.
    
    	I felt good about my chances until I saw Nazz..that face could
    could destroy a 1000 ships!!  Made my stomach sick...:-)
    
    	As for the 1 on 1 duel between Ice and Doc, Ice won by a score
    of 15-10.  I had the pleasure of officiating this little duel and
    I kept it pretty clean.  I'll tell you one thing though, Doc does
    tend to cry when he fouls.  Kinda reminded me of Tragic, oops, I mean
    Magic.  
    
    	In general, it was a fun night and I'm glad I got to meet the
    bodies behind some of these p-names.  I'm also glad that we actually
    did something worth while that will help others.  Thanks to everyone
    who came out and thanks to the sponsors!
    
    	Doc, I do agree, only a WOMAN could love those colors!!  I guess
    that's why Nazz comented to me that he wanted one of those jerseys
    because he liked the colors!!
    
    	As the terminator said,..............."I'll be back!"....goose
    

    Me and Tragic Johnson ....
    
    You'll pay for that Goose ...

    
    BTW... in the 1-on-1... the Doc fouled out early (i continued to let
    him play)... he got whistled for 8 or 9 fouls... the iceMAN committed
    zero fouls.        

So, iceMAN, tell us about the Reverse Polarity Muhsterbitur you invented,
or whatever the hail you guys called it.

Will it get the Browns to the Bowl?  [insert many many smilies here]

'Saw

    That's mighty big of you Paul ..... especially with that lean-in
    shot of yours, when you jump into me, and then expecto to get the
    whistle ... sorry bub only in the NBA (and only in Boston :-).
    
    But you did what you had to do. Congrats ...

    
    Next time...?  When and where?  I'll be there.  I'll go for more
    blocks next time... 

    More blocks ? Not until you cure yourself of that terminal case
    of WMD .... :-)

    BTW, do something about the p-name ... I don't like being lumped
    with bigots ....

    >Nuff said about HIM!
    
    yeah, so Nazz, if I tied you for points (of course realizing I had
    no practice), what does that say for you?
    
    We want the beach ball ripper, a real stats guy, next year...
