    JD

    re:.4
       How do I git to it?
                                    Denny

    Denny,
    
    Do you know how to get to the Mill in Maynard?  The Bull is
    right on Main street, across from the Mill.  Up near the
    Fish restaurant and Bike shop (away from downtown and
    main entrance, it's close to Buildings 21 and 23.).
    
    JD

    Denny, stop in Andover on your way by and I'll drive down.  
    
    Mark.

       Yup, thanx JD. I try to get in and out of May-nard as quickly
    as possible so I've never had time for sight-seeing.
                                 Denny

       Thnax Mark, but I'll prob'ly go straight home from there. No
    sense driving all the way back up to Salem. I might be in WMO by
    then anyway.
                                     Denny

    Denny, you could also go to the Mill and meet /Don.  He usually drives
    all the way to the Bull, so you could follow him.  It's part of his
    workout routine.  :-)
    
    Hawk

    	I am on vacation that week, but have to come to the Mill Thursday
    to get my check.  Will be at the Bull.  Can stay all day!  Don't
    forget the 29th some of us are heading to the Magic Lantern, and
    no it isn't a Lakers bar.  8^)
    
    				/Don

    Could one of you Magic Lantern regulars (Slasher?) put in the
    directions?  Not, how to fold dollars bills to place on your nose, but,
    how the heck to get there.  Then you can show us how to fold......
    
    I'll be there, but it'll be lated, probably 10 or so.....
    
    Hawk

       I can't make it to both, so I'll take the closer of the 2. 
    Besides, from what I hear, with JD there the ladies will be 4 deep.
                                       Denny  ;^)

Mass pike to Palmer Exit....

After you pay your toll (asking for $1 bills in change)
Take a right at the end of the toll plaza. 
Follow the signs for rt 20. 
Basically this road curves to the right and after 2 ( ithink) sets of lights
you take a right where you can't go across the street (kentucky fried chicken 
is on your right) 
You'll reach an intersection where you can continue left onto rt 20 or veer right
onto rt 181 I believe. Stay left on 20 and follow it for 10 minutes or so until
you reach Magic Lantern.

It is on your right ( can't miss it )

Metz

OKay....

Since I'm on vacation that week, and since Beth asked me to keep
an eye on JD while he's out here (i.e. the ladies can look but
not touch), I'm gonna be there.

Can I get directions to the Sitting (Stud) Bull or where-the-heck-ever-it-is
from the Mass Pike (East Bound?)

What time will the festivities start????

Also, I'll be there at the Lantern.  Being a veteran of the Lantern
I know all the tricks....


later,
Chainsaw

    Frank,
    The guareenteeeeed way to not get lost - take the Rte 290 exit
    off the Mass Pike, head for WOOOOSSTTTER - take 290 all the way
    to 495 norfbound - follow 495 until Rte 2 Eastbound - follow
    to RTE 27 MAYNARD exit - bear right at end of ramp.  Follow
    27 through ACTON til you get to Maynard, take the right after the
    Cumberland farms - go striaght at next set of lights, then bear
    right at next intersection (This is DOWNTOWN Maynard) - you will
    be on Main Street.  The Mill will loom off to the left - on the
    right you'll pass stores, a bar called Amory's, the Post Office,
    a gas station - and VIOLA, the Sitting Bull is there on the
    right.
    
    Caint miss it.
    
    JD

    I think JD's lats is squeezin' his brain, 'Saw.
    
    The absolute easiest way, clearly, is to take the Rt. 117E exit towards
    Stow, Maynard.  About 3,4,5 miles down, as you approach Maynard Center,
    there's a fork with a traffic light with a Mobil Station in the fork.
    Bear left at this fork.  Look for the Bull to be on your left as you
    approach the Mill.  If you go past the Mill, turn around!
    
    Sound right, JD?
    
    You're welcome.
    
    Hawk

    
    	ahem.. you forgot to mention the ALL crucial fact that 117 and
    62 join each other.  while on 117/62E at the fork (Mobil Station), 
    taking a left puts you onto 62, going straight puts you onto 117.
    you must get onto 62 or else it's boston bound for you, bro!  :)
    

    Hawk,
    
    I know taht way, but didn't want to get the saw confused on a
    non-highway road.  And it's a lot further than 3-5 miles once you
    exit the pike.  More like 10.
    
    Hrmph.
    
    JD

    JD, I only said that cause I thought I saw a sheep on 117 once....
    
    :-)
    
    Hawk

    JD,
    Manly-man types like 'saw ain't ever intimidated by the backwoods
    look of 117, specially around the apple farms.   I vote
    for the 117 exit.
    
    Now on the other hand, if Mike C was coming, "saw could meet him
    at HLO and really show him the roads......
    
    Kev
    

    What about Tigermania?  Did that get lost?
    
    I'll be there the 28th...
    
    -Walt

    I'd like to thank all of you that showed up for lunch last Thursday and
    to Lufay for making the arrangements.
    
    Nice to meet the faces behind the usernames.
    
    Mike

       Frank the easiest way to get there is to take 495 til you get
    to the Hampton tolls, then make a quick right.
        HTH                         Denny

    Saw,
    
    If you want to get off at RTE 2 East, well, valuing differences
    and all that ;-)
    
    Yes, it means take the RTE 2 East exit off of Roof 495.  It's a
    high-a-way, not like the road you live on.  
    
    HTH
    
    Sarge

    Well, I'll see however on the 28th at the Bull.  Won't be on the
    net after this afternoon til nexted week, or the week aftered that
    one.
    
    JD

Jeezum Crow.  You guys have got me all obfuscated here.  Hampton Tolls,
Rt 2, rt 62E.....

I'll just hire me a limo and give the driver the address....

Do I have to dress up?

Chainsaw

>Do I have to dress up?

    Chainsaw, you usually have to wear clothes in Massachusetts' public
    places.  They aren't as liberal as Conn.  Leave the Stihl, whips, and 
    chains at home.  Wear your Paul Bunyan tux.
    
    Mike

Mike, 

UP here it's too cold to not be wearin' clothes this time of year.
(Gee, Hawk, what would the naturalists do in a case like this????)

So, I'll probably wear my best calf-birthin' pants.  After all,
we're gonna be at the Sittin' Bull....

Chainsaw

PS  Do they have spitoons there????

       Frank, 'proper dress' is required!
       That is, of course, if you HAVE a proper dress!
                                    Denny

    Frank, wear the pink dress with the white lace collar.  

    naw, frankie aint got the legs )
    

re the last two....

I save that dress for special occasions, like the Hebron Cross-Dressers
Annual Ball.

I'm going to wear my Levi's Calf-birthin' pants.  Lots of good placenta
residue on them, to camoflauge the food I might spill on me...

HTH,
Chainsaw

    'Saw,
        You don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies.

    Re: 'saw's legs
    
    If you wear the dress, you'll need a combo of Nair and Epilady
    treatments, simultaneously.
    
    The Momma (from "Throw Momma from the Train") says it is painless.
    
    Mike

       You could get one o them new Victor Kiam razor critters.
                               Denny

I used to work with a painter who used his 4" brush for all of his
jobs.  He would say that if you couldn't paint fine trim with a 4"
brush, you couldn't call yourself a painter.

Thus I shave whatever needs shaving, with my Hudson Bay axe...

'Nuff said.

Hawkster... count me in on Patriots day, with a possible +1 on it, okay...

later,
'Saw

Official date of Tony Easyon, uh, er, Patriots day????

> Thus I shave whatever needs shaving, with my Hudson Bay axe...
    
    So that's what happened to your face!

No, that was caused by the high school chemistry accident....

    Welcome aboard the Patriots Day game bandwagon 'Saw.  We meet at the
    Rat at 7am, right Jeff?  :-)
    
    Hawk

Hell, that's what time I'll have to get up if I'm gonna make it 
there by 0700.

Do I have to supply my own Jim DiNsMorE name tag or is that gratis?

Do I have to dress up?


Chainsaw
    

    Count me "IN" for The Bull on the 28th.  I'll probably be bringing
    along my noting idol John Hendry and ex-SPORTS junkie Ric Ledonne.
    
    
    - ACC Chris

I can't wait!

Really, should I dress up?  Should I wear an DinsmoRe nametag????

    Just great.  I cain't make the 28th get-together, and an allstar noting
    cast is showing up.  Oh well.
    
    Someone say hi to "How Cum, Ric LeDonne!" for me.......
    
    Chain, have a brew for me too!
    
    Hawk

Nope, 1Way, ya don't have to get dressed up.  Just wear some Carolina
clothing or, worst case, something in baby blue.  If you don't have
anything let me know and I'll bring extra.  


- ACC Chris_who_will_be_easy_to_spot_with_his_CAROLINA_shirt
    

    Let's see if I cain keep this simple and comprehendable......
    
    Well, ya see, I work this part-time job as a professional mixologist,
    also known as technobartender.  :-)  Anyway, my schedule has me working
    every Sat. night and every Sun. (brunch) except the 3rd Sun. of the
    month.  Now, every year, the weekend before Christmas, over the river 
    and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go.......  :-)
    This past weekend, I couldn't get Sat. night off, even though I wasn't
    working Sun. anyway.  So, the wife and kids went over the river ......
    to Grandmother's house without me while I martinied and manhattaned
    customers into oblivion.......  :-)
    
    Anyway, I thought it would be a neat idea to surprise my 75 year old
    mom with my kids, and me too, on a couple of my days off, which
    includes the 28th.  I'd already planned this with the kids before the
    28th was announced.
    
    Sorry to be so lengthy, but I've got nothing else to do!  :-)
    
    Have a good time guys......
    
    Hawk

If I show up, will I be able to sit at the same table?

    If ACC_Chris is coming, COUNT ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    NAZZ
    
    
    	Only joking Chris!

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!(tm)  Doug, I'm rolllin'!  If I could go, I'd say that you
    could sit at the same table, only if you showed-up with an up-to-date
    Ross Index(tm)!  :-)
    
    That was the best one today!
    
    Hawk

    While I'm thinking of it, can someone send me a copy of the Fenway Park
    seating plan so I know what I'm talking about when I order tickets in a
    couple weeks?  Appreciate it!
    
    Hawk  aka John Szabo  TWO/A14

    I'll be there.  Can't pass up the chance to
    meet some of you who frequently make my day!
    
    ...and I'm bringing my darts....
    
    Kev
    

    Exactly, Jeff.  I always go for at least the 12th row, no lower.  I
    also like that smaller (not as wide) section that's closest to the
    right field foul line, the one that "hosted" that hot, August Sox/Tiger
    Mania where JD exposed his latii, Mark swooned the Japanese
    schoolgirls, and Dan began the tradition of sponging my beers!  :-)
    
    I believe that section is 43.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.......
    
    Hawk

>>    I believe that section is 43.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.......

Although nothing would give me more pleasure than to declare you wrong, you are
correct.

    Who kicked your butt this morning, Jeff?  :-)
    
    Hawk
    
    P.S.  Oh, the pleasure is indeed mine!  :-)

    Just heard about this get together from Needle...I'd like to come and
    meet a few of the sports noters...I was down at the Mill about
    a month ago, not sure if I can remember how to get there from
    Spit Brook...Anyone going from Nashua?
    
    
    -Mike

    The FFL-A victory party should be held at the same time, right Metz?

    Hey guys, just a reminder about tomorrow.  I'll be there.  I'm at the
    mill today.
    
    Mike P. - take 495 to rte 2 east, go to the rte 27 MAYNARD exit - go
    right off the ramp - follow rte. 27 into Maynard - take a right onto
    Nason Stree - which is after a convenient store/gas station (on right).
    Follow Nason through one set of lights - at fork, bear right, this is
    Main street - follow Main street about 1/4 mile - Mill is on the left,
    Sitting Bull is off to the left.
    
    See y'll tomorrow.
    
    JD

We'll kick your butt next year Walt :-)

Looks like you guys finally won the big one. It's about time. ;-)

See y'all tomorrow...What time ?

    Thanks for the directions JD.....I assumed that this was starting
    around noon time, qui?
    
    
    -Mike

    You know Metz, people in C or D think they won in '87... you might
    check with them... any help guys?  Who won the whole thing the first
    year?
    
    _Walt

    I'm going to have to take a rain check guys...My wife just called
    to say she has to go in for a special training class tomorrow...She
    asked me if I could stay home and watch the kiddies...It would
    figure...I was really looking forward to meeting alot of you
    guys...
    
    -Mike

    re .75:
    
    Doug Ross won the whole thing in 1987, he was either in C or D (NOT B).
    
    As for this year, the personal name says it all...
    
    
    py

Yep,

Doug Ross (FFL_C) took the 1st one.

Paul Areano (FFL_D) took it lasted year.

    Figures the girly-mon didn't know what he was talking about...
    
    hey Metz, sure it was the FFL for soccer in Europe or something?
    
    ha ha ha.... he's still probably crying in his Matt's premium dry...
    
    -Walt

hmmm...

I coulda sworn it was Paul Wellspeak that won the first one.

I could be wrong. It happened once before.

See youze guys at the Bull....

    	I've sent a similar note to all of the rotisserie owners and I'll
    be posting this in other conferences.
    
    Is there any interest in having a Superbowl Get together on January
    28th?? 
    
    I would be willing to look for:
    
    1) a hotel that would provide a meeting/ball room with a couple of
    large screen TVs and a bar and hot food.
    
    or 
    
    2) a centrally located (Lowell??) hall and it would be BYOB with
    donatiions for catering, 2-3 large screen TVs, etc. which would work
    out to $20-25 per person to cover costs. (hall,food,tv)
    
    I'd have to have a committment by the 5th to get everything in time for
    the SB.
    
    Send mail to above node please.

    Sorry Hawk, but this Bull missed out on the fun too. When
    I heard that the Pope wasn't going to be there to perform
    his laying-on-of-the-hands miracles I decided to wait for
    the nexted get together.

    started chafing or sumthin?

Regarding JD...

I'm a seroiusly concerned about the length of his hair.  I believe that
living in Seattle he is losing some of his Marine Corps habits.  This
must not be allowed to happen, for we all know what the motto
of the beloved Corps is:  Semper Fi.

I'll be in Seattle from 1/19 to 1/27.  For all intents and purposes
I'll be out of circulation until 1/23, but after that, if anyone wants
to get together (i.e. JD et al.)  I'm up for a few Ballards....

And to all those, who like me are concerned about the length of JD's hair,
I'll give you a special report when I return....

    there at 7 AM, right Jeff?
    
    
    
    Seriously, we will meet at the Rat (Kenmore Square) about an hour or
    so before game-time.  Just look for the Jim Dinsmore nametags!  :-)

       Anyone up for another before the Super Bowl? I heard a commercial
    on the radio the other day for some saloon in Sudbury Center on
    Rte 20. Caint remember the name though. Anybody know? Something
    like 20 brands of draft beer! YOU musta been there before, right
    Hawk?  ;^)
                                      Denny

My guess is 3 Dollar deweys...

Right down the street from me.

Excellent draft beer inc guiness on tap....


Metz

    I musta mist that one there, Denny........
    
    Sounds good, a pre-Super Bowl get-together, however, I think Sudbury's
    a bit out of the way.  Speaking for myself (and I'm sure Lufay'd
    agree), Maynard's about the farthest I'd be able to travel for lunch.
    
    Actually, Anthony's (part of the Grotto we were in for the Mike Heiser
    get-together) is pretty decent.  Where else can you get waited on by
    Prince?  :-)
    
    Hawk

       That's it Metz! Is Sudbury that much further than Maynard?
                                        Denny

It'd take about 10 minutes to get to 3 dollar deweys from the mill.

Only takes me 15 to get home and that is during traffic time.

Just go right up 27 past the credit union till you have to stop and turn left
   or right. 

take a left (still rt 27) 

go 300 yards to the light.

take a right

go until you get to a fork in the road (actually a 4 way intersection)
   big white church on the left.

go straight.

when you hit the light in the center of town take a left onto rt 20.

3 dollar deweys is on the left.

can't miss it.....


metz

       What's everyone think? Next Thurs or Fri?
    
    re: directions
      "When you come to a fork in the road...take it!"
                                      Yogi

    I have a feeling, Denny, that many of the noters who'd go are staying
    away from this file, fearing the inevitable deluge of Donk hysteria
    resulting from Sunday's pounding of the Dawgs.  I was going to hold out
    too, but after staying home yesterday, I did an update of unseens this
    morning and saw that it was ONLY 200-something, so I decided to check
    in.  Now, if what Jill says is true, that if the Donks win the SB this
    file will be unbelievable, it'll be a total Donk file until the enema
    is administered........  :-)
    
    Anyway, if enough noters say there going (where?), and swear to it,
    count me in!
    
    Hawk

           You're probably right Hawk, they must be skairt!
           I'd like to try the place in Sudbury, but it really doesn't matter.
                                           Denny

    re Hawk on inactivity in this conference:
    
    Part of the reason may be the recent creation of the ASABET::BASEBALL
    conference.  The hot stove/trade rumors/look out for so-and-so in 1990
    talk that would have gone on in here is taking place there instead.
    (I know that once the Super Bowl ends, there probably won't be much of
    interest to me in here; I only casually follow NHL/NBA and have next to
    no interest in college hoops.)
    
    
    py

    The other reason is because all the fans of those "other"  teams
    aren't quite as active as they once were.......  Ain't that right
    Whitehair ???  
    
    
    Big Game

    Yeah, but, Big Game, I'm really surprised at you Donk fans and the lack
    of whooping it up in here.  I expected 300+ Donk faithful notes just
    for yesterday, and about 200+ each day the rest of this week.  You
    people seem to be cautiously quiet, almost like not feeling too good
    about knowing what will probably happen next........
    
    I know I wouldn't want to be a die-hard Bronco fan......
    
    Hawk
    
    P.S.  Please don't take what I say as a "bash", ok?

     What steven says is true.....  If there were as many
    obnoxious 49er fans as there were Clowns fans, and those
    fans started spewing trash throughout this file, I'm sure 
    things would be much different.  There is no rivalry here 
    so therfore, not as many junk notes !!!
    
    Big Game
    
    p.s.  The Broncos win by 10......  You heard it here first !!

       What ever happen to Bruce the #1 non-technoweenie? Strange how
    he disappeared anout the same time as the Dock!
                                          Denny

I was in Detroit yesterday, for an important meeting.

Came in late this morning.

Had a good day.  Met Dr. Midnight today.  Interesting fellow, who
soundly took me to task for my Ultimate Warrior paraphernalia and
the lack of a Kelly Bundy poster in my office (the damn thing has
been on order since mid-November...ask Beak or Bubba!).

Had the biggest thrill on Sunday since my final days in Europe.
I saw Ian Rush score two great goal in the Liverpool-Nottingham Forest
game.

PS.  Nice meetin' ya, Doc...

    Can't get there... things are too busy here...

    Plpease don't send the B1 over this way but something I just saw
    really made me a bit uncomforatble and I wanted ta see if I'm just
    dumber than I thought I was or if I'm the first to figger it out.
    
    It seems that we ain't getting Patriots Day/Boston Marathon Day/Sox
    Baseball day off this year.  The holiday calendar killed off the
    site assignable day and the next day off this the Memorial day
    weekend!

    
    In 10 years at DEC, this is the first time I've seen Mass. locations
    (except BOO & SPO) not have Pat's day off.
    
    Looks like JD, Spud, et al cain't(tm?) run and be cheered on by
    the rest o' you nuts!   :*(
    
    Huh???????Whattya thunk?
    
    Kev_OW(tm)
    

       According to the Fiscal Year calendar on my wall Monday April
    16th is a holiday.
                                          Denny

    Denny, what's you calendar look like?  Is it the "A" size
    b&W copy?  The one I have (poor reproduction too)
    doesn't have
    it.
    
    Kev_OW(tm)

       It's the standard 8 1/2 x 11. It says:
        1990    Fiscal Calendar    1990     across the top.
    I also have a '1990 US Holiday schedule' one with it marked as a
    holiday. This one came out of one of the site newsletters.
                                      Denny 

    Yup, my calendar has an * on April 16th.  Hmmmmm, what does that day
    have to do with the Lakers?  :-)
    
    Well, all I know is that I got the tix for the game and nearly all the
    money for them.  I just hope I'm not the only one buying myself beers,
    right Dan?  :-)
    
    Hawk

    Well then, I suppose it's time for the obligatory
    "I really am dumber than I thought I was" statement.
    
    consider it said!
    
    :*(
    
    Dumbo

    I've got one of these wall poster types, and it doesn't have any
    notation for April 16.  It does have 8 days in grey, and identifies
    them as standard throughout the US, personal and location choice
    days are not shown.
    
    So, is this a site choice holiday? I think I'll check VTX on this.
    
    Lee

    They let each individual choose what day they use for the
    site choice day out here at CXO.  Sort of like having
    two personal days........
    
    Claybone
    

    Clay, that's what we have in Andover, too.  At least, the DAS Andover
    site.
    
    Lee

Yes, that's what we have here in BMF, also.

BTW, I think that after the debacle in the ACC (AntiChristChris? ;^))
giveaway note, that the Official Onan of Sports(tm) (i.e Dan)
should be buying us the beers...

Also, Hawk, the check will be in the mail (to the Emerald City of Oz)
very shortly....

Would you be interested in joining some friends at Fenway Park for a pre-game
party and then attend a game?? If so, then read on. Just note that the Red
Sox don't give a lot of time to put these plans together. Also note that
June 30th is the Saturday before the 4th of July (which falls on Wednesday).


*******I NEED TO CONFIRM BY WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14TH AT 12:00 NOON*********
***************SATURDAY   JUNE 30TH   TEXAS RANGERS*******************

At the moment the Diamond Room is ours. The room can be partitioned off
into three sections. We need a minimum of 50 people. That will be $300.

Tickets are all together in section 30 or 31. ---- $10 per person and we
get them with the room. Minimal cost = $16.00 per person with room.

Catering is available for between $12-$20 per person from ballpark stuff
to a lobster feed. I have to have the menu turned in two weeks before the
game.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

This is it...........$30 per person. That's food, room, tickets. Any extra
will be returned on the day of the game to all who attend. That will give
me $14 per person to work out the menu.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I need a commitment by Wednesday Morning February 14th at 10:00 am. Anyone 
who commits will be expected to follow it up with a check made out to me 
within a week. I will not cash the checks for one month to allow everyone 
to set aside $7.50 a week. I will then deposit them into a DEC Credit Union 
account named RED SOX TRIP. I do not have the minimum $800 to spare out of 
my pocket ($300 room, $500 tickets), so please don't say you'll go and fade
away after the money is due. I have 3 kids and what will surely be an ex-wife 
if I get stiffed. Therefore, any money submitted will NOT be returned. If 
you can't make it, you will have to sell your tickets. Once we commit for
the room, we must take it.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Please send me E-mail at SALEM::KUPTON

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

    	There has been excellent response but poor commital. Because
    of the lack of people willing to commit to this, I hereby cancel
    and will inform the Red Sox of same this morning.
    
    Ken

Okay.

I just wanted to inform you all that Rainer Forst, one of our
noters from W. Germany, will be over here starting week after next.

Since Rainer's primary interest is hockey, and since he likes the
Habs, I'm trying to set up a get together for 2/28 at the
Hartford Civic Center.  That night, it's gOwHAle vs Habs...

This is gonna be tough, since I'm on vacation starting tomorrow
and all of nexted week.

Since I've  had a ton of problems logging on from home, could
someone in here act as a liason, between me and all the folks
who might like to get together.  If that person will be able to
give me a call sometime during the week nexted week, or several
times, we could coordinate a get together.

Home phone (203) 643-0361

I'm not sure if there are tix available, but there should be since
the whale has only sold out three times this year....

Let me know....

    Ok, Mikey says that the fabulous Marina will be at the Fuzzy Grape (is
    grape a substitute for filbert?) during the week of March 5th, that
    means nexted week!  So whaddya say, guys and gals?  How about Thursday
    or Friday?  Thursday would be my firsted choice.
    
    Don't break a finger in your rush to sign up!  :-)
    
    H'wak

Directions to the Grape?  

Is it near Worcester, or closer to Bahston?  Is it far from Central Ct???

Is Marina all she's cracked up to be?

Enquiring hormones would like to know....


Chainsaw

    
    It's closer to worcester than boston Frank and it's closer to
    connecticut then it is to worcester right off of 395....
    
    at 48-22-36 I'd say she's all she's cracked up to be  ;^)
    
    thursday and friday are out for me as I'll be in New York....
    
    in fact now that I think of it I can't make it early in the week 
    
    either as my wife is working and papa will have sit with the kiddies
    
    oh well spends some well-placed dollars for me....
    
    mike

    Believe me Rev., Marina's cracks are where they should be, no more, no
    less.....  :-)
    
    I believe Webster is neared Wuhstah.
    
    We need directions, Mikey.....

    
    I'll have to check on the exacts Hawk maybe Slasher knows but from
    the east/north  it would be 290 to 395 and some webster exit....
    
    from south/west it would be 395 and again some webster exit....

    Is this the same Marina we all love and worship, Mikey?  I axe cause I
    didn't think she was THAT top-heavy when I saw her.  Unless she's been
    workin' out at the gym........
    
    Hawk

    
    can't say for sure Hawk, I've never been fortunate enough to catch her
    act....
    
    I just assumed so due to the ad in the worcester paper....
    
    appears to be a dark haired lass but with black and white photo that
    might not be the case.....
    
    mike 

    
    Directions to the Fuzzy Grape:
    
    		395 Exit 2.  16 West, Take a left at the first set of
    lights.  The Grape is about a mile or so down the road on the left
    across from the Wind Tiki.  Have fun.
    
    

    How do you get there from Colorado Springs?
    

    
    Take a left turn at Albuquerque.
    
    -Dick
    

    Using Mike's stats, that is not the Marina we saw at the GB.
    
    The Marina at the GB was simply perfect.  No physical deformities.
    
    Amazing.
    
    JD

    So what are Marina's stats?  Or have you girly-men figured it out yet?
    
    Mike

Well, I may be wrong, but the way I have it figured is that it
could be one in the same person.

okay, Marina is listed at 48, right?  But Hawk et al said she
looked more like 38.

Well, basically we're talking the same type of thing that will
list a hockey player as 5'11", 175, when he's actually around 205.
Lying with figures.  (Well, with the hockey player they just
use his Junior League stats)

If they take a raw chest measurement, it's conceivable she'll come
out at around 48, when in fact she looks a good 38.   I used to
go out with this girl who always measured at 38-40.  But really,
her bra size was 36B (nothing spectacular compared to the raw
measurement).

That would be my theory.  Of course, I've never seen Marina, so
I'm just going on hearsay....

Chainsaw

    
    Alls i can say guys is if you have seen her before, get the Worcester
    Telegram and Gazette go to the sports section and look for the Fuzzy
    Grape advertisment. Her picture is being used for the promo. I think
    Frank may have the right idea as the picture didn't seem to make her
    appear to be deformed... ;^)
    
    next week Dan....
    
    mike

    Like I said yesterdayed, Slasher, thursday or friday of nexted week
    would be fine by me, but thursday is my preference.  It would piss-off
    my wife less if I went thursday cause there ain't no family activities
    on thursdays.  On friday's I usually don't get home until 8:30 from my
    kids' swim lessons, so, I either axe the wife to fill in for me to
    really piss her off, or leave when I get home which will only mildly
    piss her off......  :-)
    
    H'awk, Married With Children

Hawkster, 

Tell her you're going out Friday night to get her a special present.

We will meet you at the Grape.  By the time you get home, you'll
be ready to give your wife a special present.

(But just don't put "To Marina" on the gift card, if you get my drift)

    Hawk,
       Go ahead and really piss her off. Either that or bring the

    have a Ms. World/Mass/USA or some kind of Stripper of the year contest
    on 3/11....

    Damn, Mikey!  I was really looking forward to seeing that fabulous

    to Roseanne till I get a new picture.......  :-)

What say ye, Men of SPORTS?

Chainsaw

    Well, Chainsaw, I used to walk a mile for a Camel, and I would've
    driven 60 miles to Webster just to piss-off the wife, but going all
    that way not to catch a glimpse of the goddess, Marina, and come back
    empty-handed, er, without a snapshot, I dunno, I may just as well stay
    local and go to the Golden Banana.........  Hey, the lastest time I
    popped into the Banana, Marina surprised me with her presence (and I
    had to be without my Polaroid!).  Who knows, she may be there thised
    week?!

It's time.

It's time for the Chainsaw-Driven SchoolBus Ride to Hell....

If JoJ's gonna have a going-away party, I think that some of us
EastCoasters should get a school bus (I'll drive) and a bunch
of kegs and ice, and go cross country on our way to the party.

Whatta ya say?

Hawk, are ya with me?  Bull, whatta ya say?  Are ya with me...

The only rules are that no one can start my chainsaw on the bus,
and that we draw straws for the female hitchhikers.  The male hitchhikers
we can leave in NJ for Tony Easy-on, or in Cleveland for Bernice Kosar..

I'm easy on what kind of beer we take....

"Regulators, Mount up!"

    	are you serious?  that sounds like a raging good idea! i think
    i've got a map!
    
    sean

    If youse guys are crazy enough to do it I'll put youse up for the
    night! (But... no Aggie jokes!)
    
    ...mike the Aggie              

    If you guys are going, you should probably get JD to fix you up
    with Michael Cage's date...

Gawd, I cain feel it now... jawin' on the CB, jammin' gears in
that ol yeller school bus.  Listenin' to Bull belchin' in the back.
Havin' to look fer some nubile young heiffers as we head through
western PA.

Then through Illinos, hours upon hours of straight roads
as Hawk serenades us with the bottles of beer song, only with
his new found technoweeniedom, he'll sing it in hex...  (Oh I love
it:  AF bottles of beer on the wall, AF bottles of beer, take one
down, pass it around, AE bottles of beer on the wall....)

When we hit St Louis, we swing off to make a special stop at
Mecca.  The (genuflect boys) Annheuser-Busch brewery.  Having called
ahead, they let us pull up to the back, drop a hose into our
5000 gallon specially designed, TiG welded beer holding tank, and fill
up, while we partake of a few cold ones in the Hospitality Room.

Reboarding the bus, re-inserting our beer IVs from the tank, we
proceed across Kansas, looking for heiffers or female hitchhikers,
whichever comes first...

And finally, Colorado.  Looks like we're not in Kansas any more,
as everything at the border turn Orange and Blue.  The three of
us confirmed Giants fans puke at the site.

And then we find JoJ's party, and bring out the slightly soiled

Cruisin Tunes:

	I have many many Cruisin' Toons.  Some of the favorites
	are:

			o Layla
			o Whipping Post
			o Statesboro Blues
			o Born to Be Wild
			o Any Van Halen
			o Any Hendrix (esp Watchtower)
			o Any Doors (esp back door man)
			o Muddy Waters (any)

Re AAA planning:

	yes, they gave me a "triptic" for it.  You go in, show them
	your membership card, and ask for the Chainsaw School Bus
	Ride to Hell package.  NOTE:  the 5k gallon beer tank is
	a customizable option, which runs $4999.  Other options
	are available:

			o Magic Carpet Ride (consists of Steppenwolf
                          tapes, magic mushrooms, and a body bag)

			o 1001 Arabian Nights (consists of a 12 girl
			  harem, and one eunuch)

			o Church Lady "Special" (consists of a video
			  of all the Church Lady SNL skits, two
			  cassettes of Gospel Music, and a cardboard
			  cutout of Jimmy Swaggert confessing, with
			  a hidden tape recording of the thing he's
			  confessing to)

Hope this helps you plan your nexted "trip"....

Scene:

	The HelBus, I-80, Western PA

	
While stopped to pick up some bourbon to go with our mass quantities of
beer, we were surrounded by State Trooper types, treasury agents and 
CIA men.

It seems that they thought that our mass quantity of brew was actually
home brew, and that we were gonna "sell" it in Colorado.  After a
heated discussion, wherein tempers were lost on both sides, a heated
gun battle broke out.

Well, it wasn't really a gun battle.  They had guns, we had high pressure
beer hoses (normally used to wash any extraneous body candy off after
the orgies with female hitchhikers).  Anyway, we held the G-men at bay
for quite a while.

Finally, A&W, in an action above and beyond the call of duty, managed to
get the bus in gear and rolling, with grave danger to her person.

Four hours later, we crossed the Canadian border.

In a few days, when we can ditch the bus, we'll be back at work.

IN the meantime, have a beer for us, eh?

    Better hope they get the Sportschannel feed - I doubt they get
    the Canadien feed (which will be the habs-bruins...)  I know that
    place "the Dublin House" has about a zillion TV's set up - give
    em a call and see if they will have the game on one of the sets.
    
    JD

   Lufay,

   The Dublin House gets satellite feeds. They open at 4:00 pm daily.  You
   could progally give them a call to see if they can pick it up and put
   it on for you.

   Are you in Co Sp now? How long? I'm goin' turkey hunting Fri Sat Sun,
   but and tonight I pack, cause tomorrow night is the Little League
   Draft, but I'd  like to meetcha next week if you're still gonna be
   here. (Maybe I'll bring ya a tailfeather or sumpin).

   Mike JN

    The only hockey played in Colorado Springs is played by The Colorado
    College Tigers and The United States Air Force Academy Falcons.
    Neither one of them is in season now.  Nor are the University of
    Denver Pioneers.  The New York Rangers at Washington Capitals will
    probably be on SportsChannel America.  If your local cable station
    has Hockey Night in Canada or the feed from Quebec or even Channel
    38, you may be in luck.  I don't think the Bruins radio network
    reaches that far.
    
    You can call me tonight for updates if you want, though.

    I'm going to the Dublin House tonight after pumping up with Jeff
    Riggen.  Hopefully they won't be covering that *other* non-series.

    For those of you who witnessed my out of character performance at
    the Sox game on Patriots Day, you'll be interested to know that
    I've been to 2 games in the past week - last Saturday and last night.
    In neither case did I get a beach ball though I did start foaming
    at the mouth when I saw them bouncing around.  They never came close
    enough to me so I never even had to be restrained.  Of course, maybe
    the beachballs are getting smart and staying away from me.

    beverage in the spirited ambience of The Rat before the game, where
    you can size up your so-called friends like Markie and hit him up
    for a beer...."
    
    "From there you may casually stroll to Friendly Fenway Park, and
    sample the wares of the many picturesque street vendors along the
    way, offering such haute cuisine items such as burnt sausage, dry
    pretzels, and goobers..."
    
    "Enjoy the 18-0 pasting to be administered to the Red Sox, as you
    sip discreetly upon exhorbitantly priced ox piss, warmed over chiens
    chaud (the former being casually worn by many fans, who savor its
    fragrance and lush bouquet.)"
    
    "Finally, just sit back and relax to the delightful din of deranged
    inebriates hurling epithets toward the playing field and each other,
    while taking occasional strolls to Fenway's exclusive indoor
    waterfalls, where one can witness the world-class Baffroom Olympics."
    [the picture of the overflowing urinal here is breathtaking, and
    so is the odor, if you've never been there.]

    from this unique experience."

    Is anyone bringing limes for Lufay's espresso?
    
    If not...call Serge.
    
    JoJ
    
    PS - Lufay complained that he doesn't always get my Jets mail. Could
    you guys make sure to forward him a copy next time I send one out?

Actually, espresso is pretty manly stuff.  I mean, the way I see it
it's kinda like a caffeine shooter.

The only way you could get more caffeine into you would be to open
a vein and jams some coffee beans in there.

Espresso is the way I deal with jet lag on the first couple days of
a trip to Europe.  Suck down a couple of caffeine shooters... you don't
need speed or anything else.


Now, I don't know about Lufay, or his buddy Serge (who makes it himself,
right?) but around these parts, toofless, non-bearded, short-haired
mountain men say it's okay to drink espresso....

    The Vermont Chainsaw Yuppy.
    
    
    Truly a sad day, Sportsfans.

    The Connecticut Chainsaw Yuppy
    

Well, two outta three is a little better.  Now you'd be doing
well as an NFL QB.

But I still ain't no yuppy!

As a matter of fact, after a good night out Friday, I had to find
a cash machine.  (Needed to stop at BK for a snack on the way home).
Anyway, the only cash machine around was near this yuppy bar in
Glastonbury.

So, I drive in to go to this cash machine, and I start seeing
all these yuppy cars.  A strange, destructive feeling came over me,
and my pulse and respirations quickened.  I reached behind the
seat of the pickup, and found the Louisville Slugger that I keep
there for, uh, um, emergencies.  Suddenly, the urge to despoil all
those yuppie vehicles was too great.  

Reaching into the glove compartment for my survival knife, I knew what
I had to do.  At this point, little flecks of foam were starting
to form at the corners of my mouth.

Just as I was about to burst forth from my truck, raving autocidal
maniac that I'd become, to despoil, desecrate, slash and bash the
SAAB 9000S with the crystal hanging from the mirror, that was sitting
in front of me,  one of Glastonbury's finest pulled around the
corner on routine patrol.

Just as suddenly, I snapped to my senses, and remained in my car...

But, that should tell you how I feel about yuppies.....

Argghhhh!!!

	coffee.  Well, every once in a while we just appropriate us
	some beans, stick 'em between our cheek and gum, and get us
	the shakes.

re yuppies in math terms:

	You might be right there, JH, you might be right.  If they

re the Rat:

Paul, I think Lufay said folks were meeting at the Rat at around 
1100 hrs.  

I'll be there, perhaps between 11 and 1130, depending on how the T
runs.  

If you don't know anyone there, look for the dude wearing the
USS Boston (SSN 703) hat.  That'll be me.  However, be advised,
gone are the beard, sideburns and most of the hair, and I do have
teef....  

Oh, I might even have a very nice blonde with me, but since
that is utterly non-Sports related, and perhaps disparaging to
non-blondes, I won't mention it....


Re ACC:

Make arrangements with Mike.  I can deal with the 18th, I think, but
Mike can get us all together (he's good at that...)

'Saw

    Isn't everyone meeting at Lufay's house the night before for a gigantic
    sleep-over?

Chris, I'll keep tabs in here to see what the scoop is. I'm sure we'll have
a few guys interested and we can probably find ole gold sweats and others at
the court willing to play.

anyways if you need the directions again they're somewhere in this notefile
and you can call me at work (508)568-4180 during the day or at night at home
(508)756-0483 to see what the deal is. I'll be out on vacation next week myself
but any other time I should be easy to find....

mike 

    
    The sleepover sounds like a good idea.  I'll bring some graham
    crackers, marshmallows, and hershey bars so we can all make s'mores
    and we can have 'em with our hot chocolate before we settle in to
    singin' "Camptown Races" and "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad"
    around the fire.
    
    I hope Mrs Lufay wears her green jammies that she looks so great
    in.

Jeff, you sly dog, don't pull that one on us unsuspecting types.

Just because I have a bar near me that will open early if I'd like
it to, doesn't mean I'm going to fall for that ol' get to the Rat
early line.

The Rat doesn't open until 0900 hrs.  

Oh yes, and for those of you who are averse to drinking before noon,
you should be aware that if you arrive at the Rat at 1100 hrs,
it will clearly be after noontime in any place in the Atlantic
time zone, as well as in England, France, and Germany, so that you
should feel free to drink.

	At a wedding, you get all choked up, then get all drunk
	and dance your a__ off.

	At a ball game, you get all drunk, then get all drunk,
	then get all drunk, yell your a__ off, and then get all drunk.

Easy decision...

See youse guys at the Rat sometime before the game....

Here Ye, Here Ye, here ye

From what I've heard, Thursday Sept 6th there is going to be a "Get Together"
starting out at the Prince Grotto in Lowell, Ma and proceeding who knows where
after dinner.  i guess a good time to start would be either 7:30 or 8.

Please RSVP to me at PFSVAX::JACOB if you're going to attend and that way I'll
be able to make the reservations at the Grotto.

I'm going to be on vacation after next thursday(8-9) and the only day I'll be
in the office after then is on Aug 20th.  I will be in the notesfile while I'm
in Bedford, though.

JaKe

    Hey Markie, is anyone invited to your sleepover even if they're not
    going to the game?  Do we have to act like adults at your place?
    
    Hawk

Rules for Markie's Sleepover:


	1) Everyone must wear pajamas.  There will be no
	   sleeping in the nude.

	2) Everyone must use a sleeping bag.

	3) The garage door opener attached to the ceiling
	   is off-limits to guests.

	4) There will be no water available after 11pm.

	5) The bogey-man lives in the closet, but if you're
	   asleep by 11:15, he won't bother you...

Karen, Karen, Karen....

Dickster comes at you with a direct quote from one of the
most romantic scenes, in one of the greatest classic movies
ever, with (IMHO) one of Hollywood's most dynamic leading men,
and you think he's threatening you?  ;^)

Seriously, girl, get thee to a video store, and rent yourself
"Casablanca".  Don't get the weenie colorized version, get it
in the original (and *powerful*) black and white version.

Sit back.  Watch Peter Lorre in his pesky little voice say
"Rick, Rick, you've got to help me Rick".

Look for that classic neon sign, oft imitated today, which says
"Rick's Cafe American".

Watch the sauve and debonnaire Humphrey Bogart get mad at Sam
the piano player for playing that song, and then see he face soften
as he sees Ingrid Bergman.

And finally, as Rick says "We'll always have Paris".

Oh yes, a nice quick draw action when Rick blows away the German dude...


(Dickster, I'm impressed with your knowledge of one of Hollywood's greatest
films)

And, the way the line really was said:

Play it, Sam.

Remember all:  Shrooms, the way to a better life...

    Ditto .480, although I've never seen so many brains on drugs simmering
    au jus all at once.  How hot was it?  Why, you could drink all
    afternoon and never have to go to the baffroom.  I liked that.
    
    Dickster
    

    I was thinking of you lunatics saturday afternoon.  The weather
    reminded me of the famous Japanese school girl Tigermania 2 years ago. 
    It was hot as hell then too.  That's when we finally caught a glimpse
    of JD's enormous pects......  :-)

           Add mushroom to beer.  Drink Beer.  Eat pickled mushroom.
           Repeat until Jimmy Hendrix appears.
    
    Thanks for the treats, Frankwa.  By the WAY, when I broke the filter
    off that cigarette, twisted the end, and offered you a "hit", I
    thought your face was gonna fall so far that you'd get your 'stache
    caught in your shoelaces.
    
    Slasher's tanning index has reached Greek God proportions.  He was
    beating off the ladies with a broken beachball.
    
    Speaking of which, Jeff I believe is the new ball-busting record
    holder.
    
    M.L. Carr is a freakin' lunatic with a card in his wallet to prove

    Paul, sorry you had to sit next to me.

    Lufay drinks beer out of a green bottle.  He says it was Rolling
    Rock, but I saw him pour a Heineken into it just for show.
    
    Dickster
    

    Well, the beach ball Ninja patrol bagged three, which is an all-time
    high.  The pelts are now displayed on our fearless leader's wall,
    awaiting his return from the northern beaches.
    
    Many thanks to the hunters for the sun-bonnet, which has assumed its
    appropriate resting place with the other pelts.  I believe that the
    bonnet was the item which allowed me to stay past about the third
    inning.  (The heat really was brutal.  REK, I sincerely hope that your
    wife has recovered.  Sorry you couldn't stay.)  To those who loaned sun
    block, my thanks.  I did not return home a crispy critter.
    
    Good to meet all of you.
    
    A&W

    I finally got to meet A&W, See-Saw, Dickster and ML.  With the
    exception of A&W, I was sorely disappointed.  :^)
    
    ML is a party animal, probably a Sig Ep.  Jeff Needle filled in
    nicely for the Ninja who was a no-show (probably at the same wedding
    as Karen, although I've a good inkling where he *really* was). 
    I still have beachball plastic betwixt my teeth from the first one
    I ate.
    
    Frank definitely was sweating too much in my not-so-humble opinion.
    And his escort *certainly* could have done better than him.  Slasher
    won the best-tan contest and REK still hasn't met a dog he doesn't
    like.
    
    Walt made it before last call (showed up in the 6th inning) and
    shared Slasher seat.  
    
    Boy, was it ever hot.  If not for the fact that I organized this
    debacle I would have stayed poolside.  Besides, JD didn't show so
    there was no one to stage a pose-down with.  All that training,
    for nothing.
    
    Mark.

    
>    Frank definitely was sweating too much in my not-so-humble opinion.
>    And his escort *certainly* could have done better than him.  Slasher
>    won the best-tan contest and REK still hasn't met a dog he doesn't

Yes, I was sweating.  I mean I was sweating!  I mean I was really
sweating!

See, before the game, Dickster and I downed some SPORTshrooms. During
the game, it was great.  Say, did anyone see that big orange iguana that
ran out into CF, between Burks and Brunansky?  That was impressive.

And, I had the greatest conversation with Lou Gehrig.  Lou was telling
me how glad he was that George was gone, and that he thought that Joe
Morgan should stay awake a little more on the bench.  Then he went down
into the Red Sox bullpen to watch from there.

After that, Jim Croce and Ronnie Van Zant showed up.  Ronnie was lookin'
real good, and when I told him that Jeff Needle wanted Free Bird played
at his wedding, he told me if I came to pick him up (he didn't wanna fly)
he'd be glad to oblige.  Croce was just mellowing out...

Damn it was hot.  And I was SWEATING.  I shoulda brought a towel....


I guess I was sweating so much I missed the baffroom olympics...

oh well,
'Saw

    Ditto on the great time, and great to meet y'all...  Sure is funny that
    nobody (I'm sure, myself included) looks like you imagine.  I mean,
    Frank "Going My" Way actually looked... well, normal!  And Dickster,
    had I known that those were the immortal SPORTSShrooms instead of
    disgusting beer soaked fungi...  And how come you didn't pass ME that
    cigarette :-)  (Acutally, I can say these things now that I've given
    them up to major in beer).
    
    I want to thank Walt, who made the effort to show up with my tix before
    he was even ready to go - Walt, you went from p*ssing me off to
    thanking you real quick!
    
    But, the brain-dead award of the day just HAS to go to Mark Lufay, who
    took a phone call from Walt telling him to tell the guys waiting for
    his TICKETS (me) that he'd be late (nothing registered); who then
    offered (kinda :-) to let me take his TICKETS while he waited for Walt;
    who then opened the envelope at the gate to find... TWO EXTRA
    TICKETS!!; who then SOLD these TICKETS to somebody else 'stead o'
    runnin' back to the bar to give them to his new-ex-old-buddy, ML :-)
    And that ws BEFORE we got to the park!
    
    Actually, Mark, I didn't mind 'cuz me and my buddy got to drink four
    go-o-o-d Rock's before having to swill that whale-p!ss at Fenway - plus
    we got to ogle at one of the finest blonds of the day at the bar!
    
    John Hendry, too bad you weren't there to witness my indoctrination
    into the Ninja club...  and I was surprised that people actually
    cheered!  (But, they booed Jeff later :-)....
    
    All in all, a great time, and if somebody could reserve a seat for the
    nexted one, I'd 'preciate it (as I can't afford to get in here
    regularly).
    
    ML

    Sorry I didn't meet everyone at the other end of the row... 
    Mark, only wimps back out of an event after saying they're
    gonna show up.  That's why you would have backed out.
    I don't blame Karen for bagging if Jeff was gonna puke on
    me, I'd have bagged too.
    
    In typical Tiger tradition, they won the game the next day.
    (I went yesterday too.) Thanks to my friend with "car trouble"
    I was a little late.  She was probably hanging out with Schneider
    seeing how his back was doing...
    
    'Saw was sweatin'...
    
    Isiah Thomas still roolz...
    
    Too bad we didn't go out after and order a Ziggy Piggy...
    
    Later....

    'Saw, REK says you're a dweeb.  I heard you was real quiet and all.
    Can't imagine that....  Musta been the drugs.
    
    Jeff, I missed getting beer cups smashed on my head.  Next time for
    sure.
    
    I'll volunteer to organize the nexted one.

    Karen, I didin't say Saw was a dweeb.. I said "saw was a weiner!!!!
    
    I expect saw to to move vocal than " Ok Honey I'll get you a beer."
    
   Kinda liked Cubbybears spare...... and I don't mean ticket!
    
    /Slasher had a hairy back than George  (the animal) Steele!
    
    ML did fideo the beach ball!!!
    A&W, Nice to meet you... Loved your hat!!!!

    Dickster, say hi to your wife! How a nice person ever ended uo with a
    guy who wears suspenders to a game is beyound me...

    REK,

    go for the Suites....much better!
    
    Ya even have this little 'slave' who'll run and get ya anything ya
    want...even if its outsida Fenway!
    
    Lasted time we went, we had beer already in the fridge, free Fenway
    franks, swedish meatballs, etc., etc., etc.,......
    
    Wheel

    I'm here.  Thanks to A&W for saving the destroyed beachballs for me. 
    They will have a place of honor in my home.
    
    I heard the weather on Friday night before the game and saw the next
    Monday and Tuesday were going to be rainy, this was confirmed on
    Saturday morning.  When I realized that I would be giving up one of my
    two remaining beach days to go to the game, I decided to stay on the
    beach.  I did listen to the radio broadcast while catching rays on the
    shore, and I was thinking of all of you.

Well I guess if you guys want to do it you can but it will be without me.
My wife wants to go to the beach and ine of my best friends who I haven't
seen in a few years called and is having a bash at his place saturday.
Naturally this will cause some arguments at my house but I'm going to my

    Anyone  interested?
    

    	Chris you give the man $2.00 and sometimes he gives you back
    $2,000.00!  Talk about a return on your investment.  And 'Saw, we
    like to think of our Saturday sojourns as a type of investors club.
    Only we do it in two dollar increments. 
    
    				/Don

    Chris, the "sometimes" that /Don alludes to occurs far less than
    once in a thou.  Matter of fact, *ANY* time you receive money back
    is a rarity.  :*)
    
    Talk of racing always reminds me of a few guys I knew who were always
    at the track.  When they'd return to our local pub, all you'd hear
    is about how much a certain race paid off and how much they collected
    on it.  You wouldn't hear about a loss of any kind, until they begged
    a beer from someone and explained that they lost their bundle on
    a "fixed" race!  :*)

    	Lee the horses were always fixed in this state.  You could buy
    a jockey for about a case of beer at Rockingham in the old days.
    8^)
    
    				/Don

    /Don, that's the past.  I always wondered about something, and my
    Dad has a perfect phrase for it:  "If you're so damn smart, how
    come you ain't rich?"  Like, if a guy is soooo good at making bets,
    how come he works for a living?  :*)
    
    Lee

    	I just do it because I enjoy SPORTS Lee.  Honestly Lee, back
    in the mid 70's I used to know these old bucks (about your age)
    8^) who  worked in the woolen mill in Fitchburg before it closed
    down and these guys knew a bookie who would give them four or five
    races every Saturday at the Rock.  You could count the times his
    picks didn't come in on one hand.  Anyways the stipulation was that
    they never put any bets through him or any other bookie, only at
    the track.  Well one Saturday it was raining and two of the guys
    had to work so this bonehaid books one of the picks.  End of tips,
    and end of easy money.  They wanted to kill him!  I figure this
    bookie wasn't so lucky because he was a great handicapper, know
    what I mean?
    
    				/Don

    /Don, I was kidding around.  What I meant was that over the years
    I've heard more than a few guys who would tell me about how great
    they were at picking horses.  Fix or not, it didn't matter to me,
    because those were always the guys who bummed a smoke, or needed
    a ride home, or whatever.  My point was that if they were so damned
    good at it, why didn't they just put the house on it and then retire?
    
    I love going to the Rock.  I haven't gone in awhile, but I always
    enjoyed it.  And, I usually would hit at least one race, but that
    wouldn't make up for the other 8.  Now, if I KNEW which race I was
    gonna hit, then I'd have skipped the others!  :*)

    I know how to get to the Littleton facility off 495, but have no idea
    how that relates to Foster Street.
    
    
    - ACC Chris
    

    ACC Chris
    
    Foster Street is the site he wants you to go to!
    
    You could go to one of the DEC facilities @ Porter Road, King Street,
    or Taylor Street!

    Wait, Thursday is no good!  Aren't most of us off to Giantsmania?
    I know I am.  How about Monday or Wednesday?
    
    Dan

    Wednesday might be okay for me, but I'd prefer Thursday.  Need to know
    soon though ...
    
    
    - ACC Chris
    

    
    wel, wednesday or thursday?  mikes out till tomorrow, i can ask
    him.. 
    
    dinz
    

    I'm planning on playing Thursday.  Wednesday's out at this point.
    Hopefully me and dinz won't be playing one-on-one out there.
    
    
    - ACC Chris
    
    
    BTW - I could indeed use directions on how to get there.

    
    yea, cuz, i would get my areski [tm]kicked
    

    So is anyone else playing hoops tonight in Littleton?  I'm meeting some
    people there in the DEC parking lot at 5:30ish and from there we're
    going to the court.
    
    Send me mail if you're going.

    I'll have to dunk on your another time Dan .....

    Just great!  I'm going to Colorado Springs next week and Jesse's hiding
    from his sargent while Glen Johnson is off to Giantsmania.
    
    See if I ever visit you guys again.
    
    Mike

    Sorry, I couldn't make it...bad ankle...
    

    re: .534
    
    	That's the effect you have on some people Mike. 
    
    	Besides, you're taking off early, ya wuss!  :-)

>    	Besides, you're taking off early, ya wuss!  :-)
    
        glen j., wusses fly off to another state instead of staying put.  I
    drove to Colorado, how about you?

    
    So guys,
    
    		Are we going to try and set something up for ole Jake
    before he leaves???  I'm willing to even meet him face to face.
    I understand he leaves by the end of the week.  Any suggestions???
    
    		Hal
    

    Any Monday Night Football gatherings in the Boston-New Hampshire area
    this coming Monday night ???
    
    I'll be in Spit Brook for two days of meetings and wouldn't mind
    quaffing a few at a local watering hole while the game is on.
    
    Any takers ???
    
    Bob Hunt

    Hey Hal:
    
    Gotta think fast, I'm outta here after tonight and making the trip back
    to good ole Pittsburgh tomorrow morning.
    
    I'll be back up here in December for 2 weeks though.  
    
    Hal, you know what December is, that's when the Brown(spot)s(tm) will
    be firmly entrenched in last place in the AFC Central.
    
    How's about the Prince Grotto in Lowell for Italian to start tonite??
    
    
    JaKe
    

    
    Jake,
    
    	Well, tonight would just be undoable, but, how do you go back???
    Do you drive or fly?  If driving, take RT 2 and your more than 
    welcome to stop by the house.  I'm sorry about not being able to
    get together but with all the bullcrap my ex put me through last
    week and filling charges against her for B & E along with a few
    other things, not to mention the things she planted in my house....
    it just turned things up-side-down.  I think December will be a
    much better time.  Make sure you give me some dates and maybe we
    could watch the Dawgs advance.....
    
    	Hal

    I'll be back in Mass for the first two weeks of December.  How's about
    a big time sports.note get together or football game or sometning????
    
    
    later
    
    JaKe

    Hey JaKe, I know I mentioned about a month ago about getting together,
    but I have to be a deadbeat for tonight-> part-time job.  Sorry.
    
    Re: December.  That would be a better time, especially since I'll be
        bartending again for this new sports bar that's opening in a couple
        weeks in Haverhill, my "hometown" (now).  We could have a get
        together on a night that I'm working (hoping for Monday night), but 
    	only if you guys are good, no wait, excellent, tippers!  :-)
    
    Bob Hunt, I'd like to toss down a few with ya on Monday night, but same
    thing- I happen to be working that night also......
    
    Hawk

Jake, 

Sorry I missed out this time around, but with rugby practice and
a couple other commitments eating up my time it was a no go.

December sounds Great.  Rugby season on winter break, not much
going on in the office....

In fact Lowell sounds good too, as I have someone up there that I
always like to see.....

Let us know dude!
'Saw


re Hal:

	Hal, I take it your ex wasn't a Browns fan [many, many 8^)]

    OK
    
    December it is.
    
    
    JaKe
    

    How about a group trip to a Patriots game to see either the Chiefs on
    December 2 or the Redskins on December 15?
    
    John

    
    Saw,
    
    	Its hard to say about the ex...when I sent my son to SC to visit.
    I made the mistake of sending him with a Browns jacket.......it
    never came back.  I'm pissed!
    
    	Hal

    Hawk,
    
    	What's this about a new Sports Bar in Haverhill?  Where?  What's
    it to be called?
    
    Lee

Hawk's House of Heuristic Sports Memorablelabia....


The two guest celebs on opening day will be Roger Clemens and
Wade Boggs.

There will be sports posters on the walls and a special section
for freakin' lunatics.  The bathroom will have a Olympic sized
pool.

There's be a mushroom bar inside too....

'Saw

    Too funny, FrankWa!  You forgot to mention about Roseanne singing the
    Star Spangled Banner while sitting on my face on opening night!  :-)
    
    LeE, you pass by this place at least twice a day.  It's called the
    Lobster Trap Restaurant & Steak House, formerly Jonah's, Chestnuts, and
    Capt'n Chris's's's'.  The lounge will have a sports bar atmosphere/
    decor.  Should be open in a couple weekends.
    
    One of the interesting gimicks (many planned!) will be having mugs for
    regular customers with their names engraved on them and a special spot
    to hang them on the wall.  Customer comes in, asks for his mug,
    bartender fills it with beer of choice, and customer gets a discount!
    Look for Normie's and Cliffie's mugs in the 1st row!  :-)
    
    Hawk

    
    So where the Haverill is it?
    
    I might wanna go there on your off night, ask for your mug, and
    pee in it.
    
    Nahhh.... I wouldn't do that to a Merrimack Man.
    
    Dickster
    

    Dickster, just make sure you get my mug, not the other Hawk's mug, ya
    know, Spencer's buddy there with that evil eye and that fotey-fo'
    magnum.......  Then again, why should I warn you?  :-)
    
    Hawk

Hawkster....

You'd better put up a Chainsaw mug, cause I might be spendin' some
time on up that way....  You can put it near Cliffy and Norm's
mug...

Another great idea is to make the walls in the men's room out of
whiteboard, and supply whiteboard markers.  At the end of the
evening all the grafitti wipes off.  (I saw this in a place in
Chicago one time....)

Have fun Hawk.  If I come in make sure you've got plenty of 
Black Jack on hand....

'Saw

    Oh yeah, I knew it was opening up, but didn't know about the bar
    having a sports theme.  I've been in there a few times in the past.
    
    Are the Petrou's the owners?
    
    I used to frequent a bar where the regulars had their own mugs.
    It was in Windham, N.H.
    
    Lee

    I'm going (I think) to the Jints game... I think that's enough.
    
    If there's a get together, send me mail... I don't have a lot
    of time to get in here to check these days...
    
    -Walt

   Dear Hawkeronymous P. Hawkenstubble

   I suggest that you reserve a special section for Ourgng Noters and get
   everybody who's interested their own mug. Then when we get out thataway
   we'll feel right at home. I am going to have to see if I can get
   scheduled for some classes or something this year, and head out your
   direction. I don't know hardly anything, so I'd think there should be a
   lot of courses I could take.

   Mike JN

    Hey Mike, what do you mean?  I heard you already had the course!
    
    :*)
    
    Lee

    Anybody got any good night-time hoops action going this week in the
    Marlboro area?  (i.e. any open gyms, etc.)
    
    I'm in class (MR04) - if you know of anything send me mail.
    
    
    - ACC Chris
    

Anybody want to meet for a drink ?

    on woburn  who  Jeff?? Is she a Bronco  cheerleader  or something?
    
    
    haaaaa
    
    dinz
    

    Let me know if there's a get together...
    
    -Walt

    Anyone been following the adventures of Marina lately?  Walt?  :-)
    
    Hail, I could use a night out if she's performing at the GB anytime
    soon.......
    
    Hawk

I was planning a trip to the GB anyway while I was in the area. 

Jeff

    I thought Marina moved to Seattle to hang out with JD and Michael Cage.

       Marina was working at the GB in July. We went there as a DECWORLD 
    field trip.
                                     Denny

    Any noters away from home and want to have a few brews tonight?  I feel
    like tying one on.......
    
    HTH.
    
    Hawk

    
    But...but....Hawk.  You shaved and everything...what about that
    promise?
    

    
    Ha ha, Dickster!  You got me!  I've been thinking all day about
    shaving!  While I ain't gonna lie and say that I'm not doing it for
    marital relations facilitating reasons :-), I have other reasons as
    well.......
    
    Hawk
    

    > What does a yellow light mean?
    
    Bob, thanks for making me roll!  That show was my all-time favorite
    Taxi episode.  I literally lost my breath the first time I saw it, and
    still cried the 2nd and 3rd times.......
    
    Sort of in the same vein, the other night, I happened to stumble on a
    station that showed All In The Family reruns back-to-back.  Many years
    ago, we were overrun by constant AITF reruns.  It seemed like every
    time you changed the channel, there they were.  I still loved them, but
    it was too much.  Then, they all stopped, and it's like a drought now. 
    Needless to say, I was thrilled at finding this.  Boy those older
    episodes were great- when Mike and Gloria were still living under
    Archie's roof!  Too funny!
    
    Hawk

Anyone for lunch this friday at the Sittin Bull?

mike

    Can't make it... shufflin' off to Buffalo for the weekend...

       possibly!!
                                                         Denny

On friday at the Sitting Bull, I plan to arrive around 11:30, when I leave
is anyone guess....

naturally we'll be around the corner in our usual spot....

right now response has been slow but think about this is for the good
of the company. It's a morale booster  ;^)

mike    

Mike,

If I was closer, I'd be glad to come up there.

However, I'm a long way away, and I'd have to drive home half
in the bag, and I know how the Duke is tryin to raise revenue
in Mass, plus the Connecticut State Troopers are raising
funds to give Governor Bill "I f***ed Connecticut up beyond all 
recognition" O'Neill a going away present....

So, I'll pass....

Be there in spirit though,
'Saw

 It's from Jimmy ( I can play circles around Eric Clapton ) Hendrix's
 Third Stone from Sun song. Mostly an instrumental, very physcadelic,
 very much sixtiesish like me right Hawk? ;^)    

 mike

Mike,

Jimmy hasn't been able to touch EC for years now :-)

HTH

daryll

Jimi sits at the Right Hand of You_Know_Who, and jams regularly
with Stevie Ray.  Hot licks, folks, some screaming white-hot blues
licks fill the air when those two get together.  Let Janis
scream some lyrics, and I just sit back, chew some 'shrooms,
a listen all night....

Clapton is a different style....Slow Hand says it all.

Oh yeah, and Muddy just sits back, laughs that old chuckle
laugh, and smokes a little reefer while he listens to the
"kids" play some blues.....


you heard it here first,

    Hey Dan'l,
    
    What's up for Friday??????
    
    JaKe
    

    That's up to Hunt and Haas.
    
    You guys free to meet JaKe on Friday night?
    
    I didn't want to bother Bob until today.  I figured by then he'd be
    over this weekend's loss.  And I'll see TTom at volleyball tonight.
    
    But maybe a little public pressure in this conference can get them out. 
    If not, you might have to tempt them with a few brews, JaKe.
    
    	--dan'l

    Well, How about it TTom and Bob Hunt, are youns guys up to getting
    together Friday Night??????C'mon, done wuss out on me!!
    Dan'l can figure out somewher to go for brewskis, and maybe even
    "entertainment"!!!
    
    JaKe
    

I subject myself to pressure, public and volleyball and I'm sure I can be
convinced to toast a couple of rounds. I'll talk with Dan'l tonight.

TTom

    EC is vastly overrated, which is PRECISELY why Daryll likes him.
    
    Mark.

Lufay,

You wouldn't know a decent guitar lick if you hit it with the 
buzzbox, import, pseudo-truck of yours.

Overrated indeed.
